Sensing their cover had been blown, the cultists, who once tread in the shadows, shifted away from attempting close-quarter assassination to casting their spells in unison.
Dozens of ice shards, fireballs, acid, and even crossbow arrows suddenly attacked from all directions...
Every ti the cultists cast a spell, their figures would montarily appear, only to vanish back into the shadows; they were no more than what one would call "mage assassins."
The assembled wizards were caught completely off guard, as they had no idea about the number of enemies or their positions.
They could only passively defend against the barrage of elental magic. By the ti they managed to retaliate, the attackers had often already disappeared, shifting to another direction. In re seconds, their team had already sustained injuries.
A young male wizard had just used a protective spell to shield himself from an incoming acid spray, when a crossbow arrow, fired from an undetectable source, pierced his ankle.
The intense pain caused him to fall to the ground in a sorry state, and the cultists, showing no rcy, imdiately targeted the fallen wizard.
Fortunately, at that mont, thirty magic missiles flew overhead from behind, intercepting each incoming curse with unerring precision.
The one who took action was naturally Lynn.
Yoland, who had also been attacked earlier, roared and once again unleashed a wide-ranging ice storm, yet failed to hit a single person.
"Lord Lynn, do you have a way to ascertain their positions?" a female wizard from the team earnestly asked.
Shadow magic is a rare form of witchcraft with high difficulty levels in mastery, and yet, these doomsday cult mages seed to know it without exception... But now was obviously not the ti to ponder over this.
The critical issue was that they hadn’t prepared any spell specifically to counter this, and Rafael was too busy dealing with the cult leader, Audessa. Among everyone present, Lynn was the only one who could see the cultists.
"Of course, I do!" Lynn replied offhandedly, followed by casting Multiple Ice Curtain!
Four frost barriers rose from the ground, trapping all the people present, including the cultists within the walls.
Then, Lynn deftly produced a reagent bottle and threw it into the air under the puzzled gazes of Yoland and others.
Although the cult mages did not understand what Lynn was up to, they were certain they could not let him have his way. Almost instantly, several beams of magical light struck the bottle...
As opposed to the pale faces of Yoland and the others, Lynn remarked, surprisingly.
"How considerate, huh?"
The cultists quickly realized they had made a foolish move when the reagent bottle exploded mid-air, and the alchemical powder emitting a cyan light scattered from the sky, coating everyone and revealing their outlines. Your adventure continues at .Côm
"Is this the powder of Radiant Stone?" Philip, who was quite knowledgeable about alchemy, exclaid with surprise. This unique mineral found in the darkest depths of mines contained substantial magic power and had the property of glowing on its own.
Kevin, Yoland, and others, who had been holding back their frustration, almost imdiately began their counterattack.
Now robbed of their shadow magic advantage, the real capabilities of the cultists were unveiled as they were repelled and routed.
Rafael, engaged in combat with Audessa, also kept an eye on the ongoing battle. He wasn’t unaware of the cultists hiding in the shadows but simply had no opportunity to intervene.
When Lynn saw that the powder of the Radiant Stone successfully broke the Shadow Magic, Rafael breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn’t help but admire Lynn’s quick thinking.
However, a montary distraction soon cost Rafael dearly. The blood-red chains swirling within the Judgent of Doomsday ca to life, lashing at Rafael like whips, and an invisible Magic Power barrier erged around him. But it shattered in the next instant.
The chain pierced through Rafael’s right arm, blowing a hole through it. His robe was instantly stained with bright red blood, and agonizing pain flooded his mind. Yet, he dared not pause for even a mont, gripping the chain embedded in his body with his left hand and shattering it with an explosion of Magic Power.
Audessa extended a hand and pointed forward, and a crimson light flashed.
Rafael had no chance to dodge, but in the next mont, both he and Audessa felt their hearts jolt violently, if only for a brief instant. This was enough to throw Audessa’s magic off its intended path...
Far away, Lynn also stopped casting the Resonance Magic. The spell had limited effect on a grand wizard like Audessa. Once the opponent was on guard, it would not be easy to succeed a second ti, so Lynn was careful not to reveal too much about this magic.
Audessa, struck unexpectedly, imdiately cast several protective spells on herself, glaring at Rafael sternly.
Since those cultists had lost their value, there was surely no need for restraint!
"Judgent of Doomsday!" Audessa clenched the statue in hand and shouted loudly.
The blood-colored sky seed to darken, a sense of oppressiveness overwhelming everyone’s hearts.
Yoland looked up in shock, then saw an astonishing sight. The silver moon hanging in the sky, as if drawn by so force, descended with an aura of endless destruction.
The celestial body, kiloters in diater, obscured the entire sky, casting down darkness...
A surge of fear and helplessness imdiately flooded through everyone.
The remaining doomsday cultists knelt down and prayed fervently, seeking the divine forgiveness of the Great Spirits.
Rafael too felt his spirit tremble. Under such a terrifying force of a falling star, there seed no longer any chance for evasion or defense.
Amidst the prayers and shouts of despair, Lynn could no longer pretend not to see Aurora. Speaking in a hushed voice, she said, "Aren’t you going to take action, Lady Aurora?"
The next mont, a gentle sigh sounded in his ear, "Shh... The power I can exert is limited, I need to appear at the most crucial mont. Use your strongest magic... Just rember, that is not the real silver moon..."
Lynn frowned. He of course knew it couldn’t be the actual moon, which had to be at least a thousand tis larger, and besides, the sensation of this Blood Space felt sowhat similar to a Magic Domain...
A magical illusion? The more the opponent believes in it, the more real and powerful the construction becos?
Lynn guessed to himself and then raised his hand, pointing towards the massive celestial body falling from the sky.
Space Oscillation
His finger trembled rapidly, a barely detectable Magic Power wave spreading quickly. Unlike before, the strength of the Space Oscillation didn’t weaken in the slightest. Instead, it grew rapidly until it was visible to the naked eye.
Like a sharp scimitar slicing through butter, under the incredulous gazes of all, the huge silver moon was cleaved open...
