NOVEL NEXT Chapter134-The Despairing Unbreakable Barrier
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The sound of explosions echoed without end.
The residents of the city looked up, their eyes filled with nothing but endless light of destruction.
Brilliant yet deadly torrents of elemental energy, space-ripping sword auras, colossal energy fists like mountains, soul-burning shadow rays, and howling, whirling psychic battle axes…
This was the true spectacle of world-ending destruction!
Their faces turned as pale as paper, and their eyes were filled with nothing but despair.
Not just them—this vast Truva City, under this continuous onslaught of annihilation, seemed destined to be swallowed, buried beneath the weight of devastation!
Charles, who had just crawled out of the rubble, gazed helplessly at the sudden turn of events.
Steurn lifted his gaze, his ancient eyes burning with rage.
In the face of this indiscriminate, relentless destruction, how could the millions of civilians in the city survive?
However, everything was happening so fast that no one could react in time.
"It's begun!"
In the distance, Lister also refocused, his attention now completely on this decisive blow that would determine the outcome.
"How many will fall? How severely can we cripple them?"
"And those two Griffons... they've been heavily wounded, making them easier to tame, right?"
He was already beginning to count the spoils.
The layered destruction assaults, even for him, were a sight that sent shivers down his spine.
In his view, at least half of the four thousand elite Imperial soldiers and the hidden ghost assassins should be destroyed.
He waited eagerly for the expected outcome.
"Damn!"
The two Griffons were also bewildered.
They quickly realized they had fallen into the ambush of even greater, more terrifying powerhouses!
Facing such a vast, unguarded, surprise attack, even in their prime, they wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
Yet, just as the tide of destruction was about to engulf the Imperial army's formation...
The two thousand Mountain Shieldbearers, who had been silently standing still, suddenly moved!
They simultaneously lifted their heads to the sky, their eyes bursting with an overwhelming golden light.
"Whoooom—!"
The two thousand warriors shot into the air!
On the ground of Truva City, a massive, whirlwind-like tornado of yellowish-brown air gathered at their hands, instantly forming a colossal earthen barrier!
Without hesitation, they thrust this super shield, powered by the combined strength of two thousand warriors, toward the sky!
Boom! Boom! Boom—!!!
The devastating wave of destruction collided violently with the unyielding earthen wall, producing ear-splitting explosions!
Energy shockwaves scattered in all directions!
What was shocking was that the enormous earthen barrier managed to block most of the incoming attacks, only shattering afterward!
Yet, the force of the attack had already been greatly diminished.
Immediately afterward.
The two thousand Mountain Shieldbearers activated their signature defensive technique—Thousand-Layer Holy Light Barrier!
Like golden statues in the sky, they stood firm, surrounded by hundreds and thousands of layers of energy shields, solidified like golden crystals!
The weakened subsequent destruction attacks fell like rain upon these layers of barriers, creating deep, resounding "thunk! thunk! thunk!" sounds.
The echoes were distant and reverberating.
But that was it!
All the attacks, despite their ferocity, were completely intercepted by these seemingly fragile yet indestructible golden barriers!
The Imperial army below, Steurn, and even the city's buildings, remained untouched!
"What?!"
"This can't be possible!!"
Wilson, Owo, and Diston froze in disbelief.
The dozen or so Master Rank experts at the front were also stunned.
They stared in shock at the almost unscathed Thousand-Layer Holy Light Barrier, their faces filled with disbelief.
"How could this happen?!"
Lister clenched his fists, and for the first time, a twisted expression of rage appeared on his handsome face.
His shock quickly turned into uncontrollable fury as he glared at the two thousand golden-armored soldiers.
"Dozens of Master Rank experts, hundreds of Hero Rank, thousands of Expert Rank warriors, a carefully planned death blow... Even a title Master should have been reduced to nothing by this!"
"But this strike..."
Not only had it failed to injure a single one of the four thousand soldiers, not even a brick or a tile in Truva City was harmed!
This terrifying defense… Damn it! What are these soldiers?!
"What kind of ancient technology or forbidden magic does Aurek have under his control?!"
His previously calm and calculating demeanor almost shattered in that moment.
This was his perfect plan, meticulously prepared!
"Kill! Keep killing!"
Diston and the others snapped out of their stupor.
Their lethal strike had failed. How could they continue this fight?
The dozen or so Master Rank experts quickly charged forward, unleashing powerful attacks filled with the intent to kill. They struck the Holy Light Barrier once more, the impact shaking the barrier with loud thuds. Yet, each attack only shattered a few dozen layers.
And there were still more than nine hundred layers left!
Owo, wielding the pseudo-S-rank Chaos Spear, infused with Master Rank level-4 energy, slammed it down with tremendous force!
Boom!
With a loud explosion, about twenty layers of the barrier were destroyed.
But in the grand scheme, it was like scratching an itch!
"How could this be?!!"
Owo's composure was cracking, and he furiously attacked again.
Other Master Rank experts were doing the same, swinging their powerful energy weapons wildly, yet their efforts were all in vain!
"What... what kind of monsters are these?!"
The two heavily wounded Griffons also stared in disbelief at the golden-armored soldiers, who stood firm like boulders, unaffected by the torrential onslaught of attacks.
"Old friend! This is the moment!"
Waterwave Griffon telepathically communicated to Flame Griffon, attempting to take advantage of the chaos to escape the death zone.
However, just as they moved, hundreds of cold, calculating eyes locked onto them from the shadows outside the city.
More Mountain Shieldbearers and Elemental Assassins emerged, sealing off their escape routes.
At the same time, a concentrated beam of destruction light shot from somewhere outside the city, piercing through the Chaos Array and instantly tearing it apart!
This also sent a clear signal—It was time to close the net!
The two thousand Elemental Assassins in the city sprang into action.
Previously, only a small portion of the over a thousand Doom Legion soldiers had been engaged with the Griffons. Now, they rose into the air behind Steurn!
The sea of thunder in the sky churned once more, expanding far beyond Truva City!
Two thousand destruction lightning columns connected the heavens and earth, and from a distance, the scene was overwhelmingly shocking, resembling divine punishment descending upon the earth!
A chilling scream echoed from the skies above Truva City, as though it had ignited the massacre's prelude.
Countless Expert Rank and Hero Rank warriors were decapitated by the sudden sword lights, falling in a dense "rain of heads," their blood and broken bodies falling like hail onto the streets below.
The four thousand main force soldiers!
Plus the two thousand elusive Elemental Assassins!
All of them were Hero Rank powerhouses!
This was the terrifying strength that had only used a fraction of its power to deal with the two Griffons.
It had all been prepared as a thunderous means to utterly destroy Sky-reaching Tower, Chaos Apostles, and Count Blackcrow.
Now that so many enemies had actively revealed themselves, there was no reason to hold back!
The two thousand Elemental Assassins launched a relentless, indiscriminate series of assassinations.
They moved through the gaps of light and shadow like reapers, precisely harvesting every exposed enemy.
Meanwhile, the two thousand Doomsday Warriors turned the skies above Truva City into a forbidden zone for life, with pieces of space collapsing under their immense power.
The Mountain Shieldbearers stood firm, holding their Holy Light Shields and strength barriers. The Thousand-Layer Holy Light Barrier reappeared, like an impassable mountain, blocking all minor counterattacks.
The head of a Half-Master Rank expert rolled down, crashing at Steurn's feet!
