Song Qian Long, Qing Xin, Yu Ao, Mr. Tan, Mr. Gao, Li Hai Tang, and I moved swiftly through the bushes, being careful not to peek our head out or get spotted. I was a bit surprised an old geezer like Song Qian Long could keep up with my running pace, but then again, he is a Golden Monarch, and I wasn't exactly going full speed, either.
Either way, it took quite a while for us to reach the end of the monster army. i Mo and her knight had retreated all the way to the back, so we had to similarly run all that distance.
But damn...this army of theirs is really big. We've been running for a good 10 minutes now, but we still can't even see the end of this massive line of monsters.
After several minutes of sprinting, we finally arrived at the end of their monster army, where i Mo and the knight stood, watching on. For now, it didn't seem like they had noticed us yet, which was good. They also didn't seem to be on high alert, possibly thanks to the illusions Li Hai Tang put up. The further away he was from the illusions, the harder it would be for him to control them, but he seed to be holding up fine. As much as I hated him, he was still a powerful family patriarch, after all. It only made sense he would be able to do at least this much.
All of us exchanged glances with one another, and nodded firmly.
Song Qian Long was the first one to leap out of cover, imdiately launching his attack. "Legendary Sky Magic - Fang of Zeus!"
Hurling the massive purple thunderbolt directly towards i Mo, he roared and the rest of us soon leapt out of our cover as well.
"Legendary Fire Magic - Solar Nova!" Yu Ao yelled, sending a huge ball of pure fire towards i Mo and her knight.
i Mo, caught by surprise, quickly moved to dodge, but the rest of us were here too, not just idling around doing nothing.
"I won't let you-!" Qing Xin declared. "Glacier Form: Wall!"
A massive ice wall rose right where i Mo was planning to go, preventing her escape.
"Tch...!" she gritted her teeth, and braced herself for the upcoming attack. "Servant! Block this for !"
The knight obeyed, and placed himself in front of i Mo. Quietly, he chanted. "Legendary tal Magic - Unbreakable Do."
Right as Song Qian Long's and Yu Ao's attacks were about to hit their targets, i Mo and the knight were suddenly covered by a tal do that had risen from the ground, and the attacks hit the shield. It cracked slightly, but that was all.
Unfazed, the Golden Monarchs kept launching attacks at the do, however...
Now that we were out in the open, the monster army near the back of the army had noticed us, and were targeting us now.
"What do we do?!" Mr. Gao asked.
I clenched my fists and ca up with a plan on the spot. "This will reduce our firepower, but...there's nothing else that can be done."
Pointing at the monsters, I continued. "Mr. Gao, Mr. Tan, keep those bastards off of us!"
"Alright!" they yelled simultaneously, and quickly moved to stop the monsters. anwhile, the remaining Golden Monarchs were still pumling the tal do with all they had.
"Legendary Ice Magic - Wrath of the Snow Wyvern!" Qing Xin chanted, summoning a wyvern made of ice, which in turn began launching a barrage of ice spikes towards the tal do. The ice shards, upon contact with the tal, shattered - but that was perfectly fine. The catch here was this - Qing Xin is constantly aiming for the sa few spots on the do, aning eventually, these points will beco weak and breakable.
"Legendary Light Magic - Eye of the Traveller!" Li Hai Tang yelled. A massive blinding golden eye appeared above him, and shot out a beam of disintegration from the center, aiming directly for the cracks on the do as a result of the other Golden Monarchs' attacks.
Light Magic...? So Li Hai Tang has both an affinity for Shadow and Light. That's interesting, considering the two elents are supposed to conflict with one another.
After several seconds of this disintegration beam, the tal do finally fell under the pressure, but even then, Li Hai Tang didn't stop his attack, and continued to shoot inside the do.
However...after a while, I realized sothing was off. "Wait, Patriarch Li!"
"What?" he asked, slightly annoyed but still pausing his attack.
I hurried over to check inside the do, and found...nothing. No one was there. "They're not here...?"
The other Golden Monarchs quickly gathered around .
"What the hell...where did they go?" Li Hai Tang murmured in anguish.
Qing Xin closed her eyes. "Level Three Psychic Magic - Mana Trace."
After a while, she opened them again, and frowned. "There are mana remains of Space Magic here."
"You an...they teleported away?" Yu Ao asked. "Then how do we find them?!"
I shook my head. "No need to worry...they won't just escape like that. In fact..."
I looked up at the sky, and found myself staring at i Mo floating in mid-air using Sky Magic, with her knight accompanying her.
"Hehehe~" she giggled. "Didn't expect to have Space Magic, did you?"
"This is bad..." Song Qian Long muttered. "If that is the case, even if we do manage to harm her, she can just teleport away..."
"I will lock her down!" a familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind us.
"Mayor Zhou?!" my eyes widened in surprise at his appearance even though I told him to go rest.
He had a burning determination in his eyes, and he began chanting. "Legendary Space Magic - Dinsion Lockdown!"
He was the only among us who had Space Magic, and of course, the most efficient way of countering Space Magic, was Space Magic.
Suddenly, the Golden Monarchs and i Mo began rising high into the air. Her knight and I, however, were left on the ground.
"What is this...?!" i Mo cried, slamming her fist against so kind of invisible wall. I was also confused, but the Golden Monarchs currently rising were unfazed.
"Dinsion Lockdown, huh...I didn't think he had enough mana to use this, but this will certainly help us quite a bit," Song Qian Long murmured.
"Essentially, this spell traps people within a cubical cage," Mayor Zhou explained, walking to my side after seeing my confusion. "It prevents people from teleporting out of it as well, basically locking everyone caught inside. This is the perfect situation for us, as we have a number advantage, and now there is minimal space for that accursed i Mo to dodge our spells."
"D-Damn it! Why is teleportation not working...?!" i Mo cried in despair, slamming her palm against the invisible walls of the cube.
"My lady, this spell prevents any form of escape from this cube we are trapped in," the knight explained, yelling upwards so that i Mo could hear him. "The only way to get out...is by killing the caster."
i Mo gritted her teeth, then closed her eyes, most likely giving so kind of instructions to her monsters.
I quickly glanced behind , and winced as I saw the monsters were now turning on Mayor Zhou. Mr. Tan and Mr. Gao were still desperately trying their best to keep the monsters away, but...it was only a matter of ti before they run out of mana, or just beco overwheld by the monsters' sheer numbers.
I then faced my front again, and clenched my fists as the knight drew his sword from its sheathe.
Looks like...it's not just the monsters I have to worry about, huh?
"In order to save my lady, I have to eliminate that man," the knight said, pointing at Mayor Zhou behind . His voice was deep and manly.
I sneered. "Yeah? Well...I'm not going to let you do that."
"I applaud your bravery, child," he replied calmly. "However...you stand no chance against ."
"How do you know until you try?" I taunted, snickering in amusent.
"..." the knight fell silent and tilted his head downwards a bit, but after a while, he lifted his head again and continued. "Very well. You have the qualities of a knight, so I will allow you a fair duel. I will not use any magic - a sword is all I need."
"Kuku...don't regret this decision."
*****
- anwhile, Within the Cube... -
After a while, the cube finally stopped rising, and it was just i Mo against Song Qian Long, Li Hai Tang, Yu Ao, and Qing Xin.
"We have no ti to lose," Song Qian Long said. "If they take out Mayor Zhou, this spell will be broken, and we will lose the only advantage we have."
"Yes...this is a race against ti," Qing Xin murmured in agreent.
"Well then...what are we waiting for? I've gotten tired of this bitch a long ti ago!" Li Hai Tang exclaid, pointing at i Mo.
The Golden Monarchs all nodded firmly, and each began casting their own spells.
"Legendary Sky Magic - Fang of Zeus!"
"Legendary Fire Magic - Solar Nova!"
"Legendary Void Magic - Putrefaction Beam!"
"Legendary Ice Magic - Wrath of the Snow Wyvern!"
i Mo laughed evilly, not making any move to dodge the Golden Monarchs' attacks. "Hahaha! You think I can't take you on, just because I don't have my servants with ?! Think again! Legendary Psychic Magic - Mind Control!"
