1232 Entering the Cemetery Again Part 1 (1/2)

Lex and the mages from Holy Rock City watched Daliang City from above with gaping mouths.

Common floods were no less powerful than magic spells, especially when the waves were tens of meters high. Floods of such force were capable of bending steel. Any magical equipment or siege engines below were wrecked by the flood.

Due to the emergence of the cemetery of the giant, the surrounding areas of Daliang City were turned into basins. The Holy See had never expected this terrain would contribute to such lethal calamity.

Suddenly, seawater flooded into the northern terrain of Daliang City. Most of the water pooled there. Anything that had not been put into space equipment was wrecked by the flood. The armies below all suffered massive casualties.

Anyone who had survived was devastated by fear. They were afraid because of the descriptions and stories regarding the wrath of God flooding the earth that were inscribed in the Holy See's codex.

Did God just abandon us?

Countless numbers of believers had fallen in that single moment.

Even the mages in the city sighed and wondered—What is the Lord of Glory doing?

More than a million soldiers surrounded Daliang City. They were all elite troops of the Holy See. The problem was that, despite them being elite soldiers, not all of them were capable of flight.

The heavy cavalry of the Holy See was capable of taking on silver-grand swordmasters in charges consisting of up to 10,000 units. The problem was that the armor worn by the knights exceeded 100 pounds each, while the warhorses they rode were all level-two magical beasts. The horses would not have been even able to run clad in armor otherwise.

Despite being such fearsome warriors, they were not able to do anything but cry for help in the face of floods like that. Their squires had all been washed away by the floodwater and there was no one else there to help them take off their armor.

The heavy armor had special components on the outside that needed two or three squires working together to take apart. In such floods, the protective measures that would have enabled the cavalry units to resist attacks from silver-grand swordmasters had become steel coffins.

Daliang City was 500 meters above sea-level, so the city was safe from the flood. Furthermore, the thing that supported the city was none other than the cemetery of the giant. The cemetery itself was stronger than mountains made of steel, making it more than able to resist the force of the floodwater.

The two exits of the cemetery were flooded by the seawater, so for the time being, there were no fossilized gods charging in from outside.

Lex looked at the sea outside the city and did not know what to think about it. The fossilized gods would be coming at them soon enough. Even the flood was utterly incapable of taking out beings that did not need to eat or breathe.

But then again, the Holy See's army had finally been crushed. While the Heaven Knights were tough, the demon army was there to take them on. The enemy's elite troops all perished in the flood. Qin was safe for the time being.

The most dejected of them all was none other than Theisio. He watched with his own very eyes as his army was decimated, unable to stop it. While the three godly items had fearsome powers, they lacked weapon spirits. As such, they were unable to be opened and used to save the adherents.

”Retreat,” Theisio said to the people around him dejectedly. A group of red-robed bishops from the Pivotal Council was by his side, and all of them were in a panic.

”Lord Pope, we still have the Heaven Knights!”

”The enemy brought a flood to us. There is no way for us to win,” Theisio said to the red-robed bishops. ”In the codex, it is said that the world-ending flood will arrive to punish those of impure faith...”

The red-robed bishops were speechless. They had no idea where the flood had come from. Even if they were to regroup, they would not be able to do anything to restore morale. The total number of remaining Heaven Knights and wardens equaled less than 100 thousand.

The army stationed faraway might have been over a million strong, but they were not elites, and with the flood hitting them so hard, their morale had already been totally broken.

”This is just like a spider getting entangled in its own web!” It was unknown if Theisio was blaming their god or their codex. It was unknown how many living beings had died in that flood. Everything within 1,000 miles from the Separation Sea would have been hit by the flood.

Saleen looked down from above and knew what the result must have been. He was not worried, as the forcefully opened portal would collapse before long. It was rather surprising that the flood had reached all the way to Daliang City, as he would not have been able to be so precise with his calculations.

That was the second time he had caused an accident. Just as the first one had done, it hit the Holy See very, very hard. Saleen was unable to hold himself back and laughed at that thought.

Only the northern shore of the Separation Sea was densely populated, as the western shore's population was sparse. The Cloudflow people kept a very small naval force at the Separation Sea which would have been destroyed in the flood.

The great head inquisitor was right below him. Saleen looked at the waters while the great head inquisitor glared at the sky. He then turned into a shadow and disappeared from the surface of the waters.

So even that old guy is gone then. There was nothing left for the Holy See in Daliang City. The tables at the battle of Daliang City had totally turned against them. Most professionals below level-five were dead from that flood, and most who remained were above level-six. Professionals at such levels had never been all that numerous.

Saleen did not go down to end the great head inquisitor. He was not disappointed. He had, after all, acquired a powerful water-type element spirit that was waiting to be refined back at Metatrin City. After that, his teacher's magic amplifier would be completed.

As for Saleen, his own magic amplifier was also coming together. The weapon spirits powering it were ferocious, as they were none other than the 24 thunder dragons he'd had since they were young.
