Chapter 513 - No Longer a Weakling (2/2)

He gave the thin piece of time and objects from the Sea of Void to Gretel to guard the spatial crack. Without these, he naturally couldn’t create Level-19 material. Without Level-19 material, he couldn’t restrain Level-19 power. If any Level-19 force exploded in Ferde, the entire territory would be reduced to nothing. That would suck.

Link collected all the material he had right now. He discovered that he could at most create a Level-15 magic seal.

Fine, Level-15 is good enough. Currently, other than Morpheus, this power can destroy any existence in this realm.

With this magic seal, things like Bryant forcing into his territory wouldn’t happen anymore. No matter how strong one was, they’d have to surrender at Ferde!

Since he had the idea, he would start. Link immediately began designing.

This magic seal would naturally be set in the Mage Tower. It should use beams for attack and add the power of time. Without the thin piece of time, he couldn’t use fate. He would have to use predictive attacks.

This way, it would be hard for the opponent to escape once targeted.

The attack range should be long enough. Since it was a magic seal, the spell should be as complicated and detailed as possible. Taking advantage of spatial magic’s focus, it should reach a maximum of two miles on a good day. This could protect the entire Scorched City.

Finally, the attack shouldn’t be largescale. Otherwise, the shockwaves could destroy everything. The spell should be as thin as a needle and just be fatal with one hit.

Link thought and designed; the magic seal came into existence under his pen.

…

While Link was focused on magic in his territory, in the Orida Fortress, Kanorse received a letter from a scout from the Black Forest. He was training in the field when he got the letter. He stuck his Lion’s Fury sword into the ground and unfurled the small scroll.

After a few glances, his body trembled. His eyes grew serious.

Turning to the scout who’d brought the letter, he asked, “Are you sure the news of this portal is true?”

“Not sure. There are all types of scouts around the building. We can’t get close. There’s mist around the entire structure, and it’s very hard to see. Princess Annie sent me to alert you while she and the rest try to approach again…”

Hearing this, Kanorse slapped his forehead in worry. “That’s too dangerous.”

“I said that too. The others tried to dissuade her, but you know Her Highness’ temper. She insisted.”

Kanorse couldn’t do anything. Before, he was a general and could go help with his hot-blooded temper. Now, he was the fortress’ supreme commander. He couldn’t be so whimsical. Sending reinforcements could alert the enemy too. Thinking it through, he could only wait passively for Princess Annie’s news.

He waited for three days. In the dawn of the third day, Princess Annie and five elite scouts rushed out of the Black Forest. Covered in blood, they returned to the Orida Fortress.

She was injured all over, but there was no fear in her face. Instead, she looked excited and proud. Without treating her wounds, she hurried all the way back to the fortress.

Kanorse had gotten the message. He was already dressed and waiting for her. When he saw Annie, he realized her power waves were stronger than before. She’d broken into Level-8 and was close to Level-9.

“Kanorse, it’s great that you’re here. I got certain news about those Nagas!”

“Really? Is there really a portal?”

Annie nodded. “It’s a portal—a large multi-realm portal, in fact. Around it, I saw Wild Beastmen, demons, and many Agatha Nagas.”

Kanorse was shocked. “How many?”

Annie gestured with her hands. “More than 150,000.”

Kanorse’s hands trembled. There were only 50,000 Warriors at the Orida Fortress. The enemy was three times larger. Was the scene with the Dark Army from half a year ago about to be repeated?

What made him curious was that Annie didn’t seem nervous at all.

“What else?”

“There are a lot of people, but they’re sundry. The Wild Beastmen are the most at 80,000. They have very crude equipment though. They only wear a leather rag and hold sticks. There are only around 20,000 demons, and they don’t really follow orders. The Nagas aren’t as strong as we predicted either, only around Level-4 and Level-5. They’re equal to our elite army, so they’re far from the Dark Army from before. They still need to go through a lot of training. We have time to get ready!”

As Annie spoke, her eyes flashed with confidence. The humans were ill-prepared for the Dark Army before. She’d only been a Level-4 Assassin too. They’d been completely squashed. Now, the Orida army wasn’t the weak thing from before.

Even the regular Warriors were at Level-3. There were many from Level-4 to Level-6 too and could form an elite army of 10,000 soldiers. The commanders were all above Level-7. There were 15 at Level-8 while Annie was at Level-9. Kanorse was a full-armored Legendary fighter too.

They were all veterans who’d survived the last battle.

From the aspect of individual soldiers and combat ability, they weren’t any weaker than their enemy. They also had the impregnable pass of the continent. They had the absolute advantage.

In that case, they should fight to the end!

Annie’s words reassured Kanorse. He thought a bit and said, “You’re right… I’ll notify the others, and we’ll prepare for war!”

Those bastards had been messing with them for so long. Now, it was time for them to get a taste of the humans’ iron fist!
