Ferde, Scorched City

While Link and Saroviny were fighting to the death in the South, Scorched City was also facing its own strong enemy.

Boom! At least eight Silver Storm Sparrows appeared in the bay. The magic seals on the High Elf warships started wildly attacking the magic defense above Scorched City.

Their cannons were abnormally intense. Each attack reached Level-8, and the attacks were consecutive and endless. The defense barrier over Scorched City shook without stop. The Mage Tower had to use a great amount of energy to maintain stability.

“Sir, it’s getting there. The Ferde Mage Tower Mana output is already at its limit. Now, they need to activate auxiliary Mage Towers to activate the Divine Punishment magic seal. It will take two minutes!”

Lava Knight Razer nodded. He knew because these two minutes was the time he could operate safely. If he surpassed that time and faced the Divine Punishment’s attack, he would be in extreme danger. He might even die.

Jumping from the deck of the Silver Storm Sparrow, he walked in the water, steps as light as a breeze. Less than three seconds later, he’d crossed thousands of feet. Outside Scorched City’s magic shield, he unsheathed his sword and lightly scratched the shield. A six-foot-wide hole appeared in the thick wall-like shield.

The power around this hole vibrated. It tried to close the hole, but faint black flames burned quietly inside it, swallowing the magic power that converged here.

Due to the black flames, the hole was still shrinking, but the time allowed Razer to easily cross through.

Jumping in, Razer entered the business area of Scorched City. It was the wealthiest part of the city and developed alongside the pier. Due to the High Elves’ sudden attack, all the residents were hiding. The streets were empty.

This area had its own independent Mage Tower. When battles occurred, it also had its own small-scale shield. This shield was special. It was unlike the dome shield that covered the entire city. Instead, it stuck closely to the buildings.

Due to this shield, all the buildings in the city shone with shimmering light. It looked plain at a glance, but at closer inspection, one could see countless runes forming a sea of stars on the walls.

Not only was it beautiful, but it was also very powerful. With its protection, no spells below the Legendary level could damage the buildings at all. Even if it were Legendary power, they could defend against the shockwaves too.

This shield ensured that the residents of Scorched City wouldn’t get affected by the shockwaves of a large scale war.

Razer entered the area. Seeing the clean streets and dense but organized buildings, forming a scene multiple times fancier than the High Elf royal capital, he couldn’t help but praise it in his mind. I heard this city started off as a wilderness and reached this point within seven years. The Ferde lord is quite skilled.

Of course, this didn’t stop him from acting mercilessly. He was Hellfire. He would grind his enemy into powder without hesitation!

Time was tight; he obviously wasn’t in the mood to appreciate the scenery. After scanning the streets, he rushed towards the core Mage Tower in the distance.

He didn’t fly. It wasn’t that he couldn’t. It was just too dangerous.

He could feel countless eyes locking onto his location. They could attack him at any time. If he flew, he would definitely be blasted by countless attacks. Even if he could fend them off, he would still look pathetic. Running on the ground, he could adjust flexibly and make the enemy hesitate in activating a large scale attack.

On the street, his body was like a ball of shadows. His agility stole one’s breath; his speed chilled one’s blood.

In the core Mage Tower at the heart of Scorched City, Eliard, Evelina, Milose, and Elovan were each in charge of one part of the tower. They all discovered Razer. They watched his every move and were all terrified!

“He’s very fast. Judging from his aura, he must be at the peak of Level-16!” Eliard had fought with Level-15 Lava Knight Mozur before. The intruder’s power waves were stronger than Mozur’s, so he must be over Level-15. The High Elves had brought this nameless man, so he must be from Aragu. Eliard knew that in Aragu, the most powerful mortals were at Level-16, so this man must be at that level.

With that, the other three were all shocked. Of the four, Eliard was the strongest at the pinnacle of Level-11. Next was Evelina at the beginning of Level-11. Milose and Elovan were at the pinnacle of Level-10.

They were the peak of Firuman, but if they were to face a Level-16 figure, it would be like an ant against an elephant. They didn’t even dare to think about it.

Eliard felt their emotions and immediately said, “Don’t worry. We still have the Mage Tower. Our Divine Punishment protocol can send Level-19 attacks. He won’t be able to take it!”

“The Divine Punishment protocol still needs one minute and 37 seconds,” Lily reported.

Evelina gasped. “The attacks from the Silver Storm Sparrows outside the bay are at least three times stronger than usual!” she yelped. “They must’ve been modified. Now, there are eight ships attacking the shield at once, forcing us to strengthen our shield… This is a well-planned attack. The High Elves know everything about our power.”

After she said this, everyone understood that this minute would be the most dangerous moment of the battle. If they couldn’t grasp it, Scorched City would literally be scorched. The top human magic city created by so many people’s blood, sweat, and tears would be demolished!
