1167 Mystical Third Eye Part 1 (1/2)

After breaking up the enemy's formation, the demon army brandished the sharpest side of their prowess. However, the showdown had little to do with the human warriors. Nailisi went straight for the level nine sorcerer.

The sorcerer saw Nailisi coming for them about a thousand meters away. They were initially dumbstruck, but quickly cast Elemental Amplification.

Nailisi was caught by surprise. She knew a great deal about magic and was able to recognize the skill as one cast for the mages around the sorcerer. From the level nine sorcerer's perspective, the most sensible course of action would be to stop Nailisi's advance from the furthest possible range of attack instead.

However, what the sorcerer did made Nailisi laugh. The sorcerer simply took the mages around them and flew eastward.

The mage chose to run without fighting!

Nailisi snickered and cursed but did not choose to pursue her quarry. Her flight speed was inferior to Saleen's, and she lacked weapons capable of attacking at long distances. As such, she simply let the level nine sorcerer run.

Nailisi was confident in killing the sly fellow, but she was not in the mood. She aimed to take down the enemy's forces as quickly as she was able and let the southwestern allied forces see what true battlefields were like.

The terrain was not actually all that narrow, but there was no way it could accommodate a 50,000-soldier army. The demons' charge proved lethal.

There were two supreme demons at the front who, while weaker than golden grand swordmasters, were stronger than silver ones. The supreme demons possessed great powers, and the heavily armed demons tore at the Pompeii City's army. The Pompeii soldiers had no choice but to fight solely to defend themselves.

The hill, as well as the narrow plains right beneath it, were bloodstained in no time. Nailisi gave up pursuing the level nine sorcerer to maintain Demonic Stampede.

She charged with Grey Memory in her hand, looking invincible. Every step she took connected her with the rest of her kind, terrifying the enemy forces.

With such a powerful skill at play, all the buffs of mages among the Pompeii City army's ranks were practically negated, enabling the demons to bring a decisive edge against their enemy.

Unruly power coupled with heavy, sharp weapons and bolstered with full sets of magic armor stripped the effectiveness of every single spell the Pompeii City mages were capable of casting.

The magic armor was incapable of taking hits indefinitely, and the mages were incapable of casting spells indefinitely on the battlefield. When the need rose, mages were allowed to retreat first before anyone else.

Nailisi charged into the Pompeii City's army's heavy forces. Beams of over a hundred meters long shot from her Grey Memory, punching through soldiers, killing them immediately.

The power in Grey Memory was more than just penetration. There was no way human soldiers could withstand something not even single-horned white whales were capable of surviving.

Every single heavy corps in any nation's armies consisted of elites among elites, and Pompeii City was no exception. However, the Grand Duke of Pompeii was not as blessed with miraculous encounters as Saleen, which meant that he could not have so many true heavy units at his disposal.

There were only three regiments that were truly and fully heavily armed, and Nailisi took three out first.

No conventional soldier would be able to evade or resist her weapon. With Nailisi thrusting away, everything hit by the beams from her spear was torn to shreds.

It was the first time the southwestern allied forces, who were on high ground, saw such an unforgiving, brutal slaughter up close and personal, so much so that they completely forgot to charge downwards and help Nailisi's demon army out.

There was actually no need for them to do so, as Nailisi was calm enough to guide Isabella, who was in full warrior regalia and on the killing spree together with Nailisi.

”Isabella, your spells need to be your own. Master was able to get as far as he did because he found the best path that suited him and he never gave up on it. Since you're versed in both magic and sword aura, you need to figure things out from your unique standpoint. Come and kill with me. See if you're able to figure something out from the resulting bloody mess.”

Nailisi was just mouthing off without much thought, but Isabella believed the imp. Theoretically speaking, Nailisi was completely correct, but one had to wonder what would result from magic learned from going on a slaughter.

In the Magical Element Tower in New Demon City, Qin was listening to Saleen lecturing about archery.

Saleen, a sorcerer, was actually teaching an archer archery.

Furthermore, what Saleen was teaching was a skill that he created on his own. However, he had yet to be able to perform the skill to the fullest, and was only able to provide Qin theory.

Saleen imitated arrow aura employed by archers and told Qin how arrow aura worked, as well as casting methods. It was a unique skill that Saleen employed to lock onto his enemies, which came as a comprehensive summary of his many skills.

Qin employed the arrow aura per Saleen's instructions, and found that the middle of his brow twitched and bulged, as if a third eye between his eyes had opened as some weird powers started working.

It worked like sensory skills, enabling him to see everything without light. However, the sensory skill was comparatively weak, extending only about ten meters.

Qin had never attacked anything less than a hundred meters away with archery since he was 15 years old.
