Chapter 531: Icicle Shower (2/2)
The power of the ballistic lightning spikes immediately pierced the shields of several dozen soldiers and elven warriors, blasting them off the Great Wall along with everyone else behind them!
Faelyn froze as the few people besides her were blown off the Great Wall along with the other unlucky soldiers and elven warriors struck by the ballistic lightning spikes.
The remaining soldiers and elven warriors drew deep breathes to calm their tight nerves before their expression turned extremely grave.
No one knew when the next volley of ballistic lightning spikes would strike them next.
Even so, they cannot retreat unless they were given the order to withdraw. No one also knew when the next breath they draw will be their last, but they were prepared to be killed at any moment!
”Such power… this isn't something people below the 9th step Awakener can withstand!” General Marquis Hendrick frowned.
Looking at the gaps in their formation, he was about to order the troops to reform themselves and fill the gaps.
However, such orders were the same as sending the weaker troops to death.
Faelyn shortly recovered before searched the sky.
”Where's the airship? Where's my elder sister, Princess Thessalia?” Faelyn quickly asked a nearby warrior after failing to locate the airship. After a moment, she also added, ”Where's the Supreme Elder as well?”
”Princess Thessalia and the Supreme Elder are…” The elven warrior shortly responded while turning his gaze towards the front.
Faelyn frowned and quickly made her way to the front before noticing the airship had crashlanded on the surface in the middle of the mutated rat tide.
Although a dome of vines fully enclosed the deck and successfully prevented the mutated rats from breaking through, the condition of the people inside remained uncertain.
In the sky, Aria bit her lips with a heavy and guilt-ridden expression.
Although she slew a large portion of the mutated rat tide, she also made the situation worse for the others.
Who would have known the mutated rats were capable of such transformations?
Shortly after, Aria's eyes became resolute with intense killing intent.
If lightning attacks are no longer effective against the mutated rat tide, she will use elemental ice attacks instead!
She raised one of her hands into the sky before the surrounding temperature quickly plummeted below the freezing point.
Shortly after, the raindrops transformed into sharp icicles, frozen in midair around Aria.
Once her raised hand was dropped, volleys of icicle attacks immediately rained down on the mutated rat tide, impaling thousands of mutated rats to death!
Some dozen miles away from the Great Wall, Leon arrived on a distant hill with Silver stopping beside him.
The rat tide had shrunk significantly since he last left the Great Wall.
However, the situation appeared quite delicate and dangerous as he observed the ongoing icicle shower ahead with [Spirit Eyes].
Shortly after, his gaze shifted to the fallen airship and spikes in the Great Wall.
”To think the Great Wall would fall to such dire straits even with the Elder Tree's help in the area…” Leon muttered with a raised brow before he quickly urged, ”Let's go, Silver! Time to hunt!”
”Awrooo!”
