GDK 616: Giving Protection

Han Shuo’s shouting had alerted Ayermike Cotton and Graeae. They gathered their attentions to the very peak and braced for the impact of the Radiant Blast.

With his consciousness unfolded, Han Shuo had a clear and detailed picture of the Radiant Blast at every instance. He sensed the elements of light rapidly converging, fissioning, and recombining as he calmly prepared to take the blast.

‘Radiant Blast’ was a forbidden magic that worked by concentrating an enormous amount of the element of light to produce energetic lights that bombarded a vast area. Based on his observation and probing of the glaring radiance in the sky, Han Shuo understood that the power of this Radiant Blast was not to be belittled.

The canopy of light in the sky above the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force grew bigger and bigger while the element of light continued to bunch. Millions of gaudy light rays suddenly poured downward. They looked like millions of swords made of light that had only one objective – to annihilate every living thing underneath it.

As the Radiant Blast unleashed its full might, a dignified and holy aura flooded into it, boosting the already formidable power of the forbidden spell.

Han Shuo’s staunch eyes were sparkling. His heart was as still as stone as he looked up at the Radiant Blast bombarding downward.

The Radiant Blast had enveloped not just the entirety of Babylon Academy of Magic and Force, but also more than half of the northern city district. When the canopy of radiance suddenly came crashing down, it appeared just as though the sun was falling. The scene was extremely frightening.

The citizens of the northern city district had all halted whatever they were doing at that moment. Every one of them raised their heads to look up at the sky above overwhelmingly aghast. In an instant, an intense feeling of horror flooded their hearts. A chaos of shrieks and cries erupted from every corner.

The scene was nothing unlike the end of the world. All those people underneath the radiance were petrified as they thought about the miserable deaths they would soon suffer.

While the inhabitants of Ossen City’s northern district shouted and screamed in horror, they suddenly discovered that lumps of dark clouds had floated over their heads seemingly out of nowhere. The blinding radiance that came smothering downwards was intercepted by the layer of pitch-black cloud.

In an instant, the northern district of Ossen City turned from day into night. Following the appearance of the dark clouds, strobes of red light soared through the air and loud screeches echoed. All kinds of spectacular sights decorated the sky.

Rumbles… A deafening explosion suddenly roared from the sky. It was as though a nuclear bomb had detonated. The extremely loud burst of sound caused ringing in their ears.

Colorful lights painted the sky with all kinds of strange patterns following the explosion. They formed the most magnificent firework display.

Although the dark clouds were thick and clustered, it had nonetheless missed out a few spots. Several beams of intense light managed to penetrate through the clouds. Everything irradiated by the powerful light burst apart, and especially so with living things – they were instantly vaporized.

Tens of innocent civilians were killed and a few hundred structures collapsed. Han Shuo was sitting cross-legged on top of a clocktower at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. With his eyes closed, he formed two hand-seals to manipulate the Blood Seether rummaging through the dark clouds. He injected demonic yuan into the Blood Seether for it to produce thick mist of blood. Graeae the banshee then used wind magic to summon hurricanes that would revolve at high speeds, mixing the blood mist with the dark clouds conjured by Ayermike Cotton’s dark magic ‘Endless Night’. Together, they made up a gigantic boundary in the sky over the northern city district.

Han Shuo didn’t know how many attackers there were. However, he was certain that there was at least one basegod existence among them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to unleash a Radiant Blast that had such catastrophic power.

Han Shuo adjusted his body, heart, and consciousness to their most optimal states as he propelled the Blood Seether to constantly produce blood mist. He strived to mend every opening, preventing any of the Radiant Blast from casting down on the ground.

Located near Han Shuo was Ayermike Cotton, who was cloaked within absolute darkness. He rapidly recited incantations with a grave expression. On the rooftop of the library, Graeae the banshee was whinnying at the top of her lungs. Hurricane after hurricane drifted by through the stormy sky.

“Bryan, I can’t hold it much longer!” shouted Ayermike Cotton.

Han Shuo’s eyebrows were in a bunch and his forehead creased. He hurriedly chanted a necromancy spell. Little Skeleton, on his bone dragon, appeared after a flash of light.

Little Skeleton had a sinister, exotic, icy glint in his eyes. The tombstone on his chest glowed misty green. As soon as Little Skeleton arrived from the Netherworld, a constant stream of wraiths and gargoyles rushed out. They fluttered all about in the whizzing wind and formed the second barrier on the sky.

As soon as the second took shape, the pressure on Han Shuo, Ayermike Cotton, and Graeae immediately reduced. They no longer needed to exert so much energy on patching every single gap in their barrier.

The area involved was vast and the three only had limited mental strength and energy, hence the first barrier they formed was not closely sealed and seamless. They simply couldn’t handle the issues that came with a barrier of that magnitude and therefore more and more gaps appeared in it.

But as soon as Little Skeleton appeared, he used his divine energy to summon a second layer. This had immediately reduced the pressure on the three as they didn’t need to worry too much about the imperfections in their first layer of barrier.
