Chapter 1111 - Invading the Floating City
Chapter 1111 Invading the Floating City
The most significant change after the Scourge Lord and the adepts joined forces was the acceleration of their advance.
According to certain sources, the World of Gods, the World of Abyss, the Gold Titans, the Star Alliance, and several other powerful factions had breached Morrian Plane now. Every additional day spent in Morrian was a tremendous risk.
They certainly wouldn’t be the only ones to have set their sights on a large and bountiful target like the floating city. Moreover, attacking Reisin Garden was the most critical mission among those handed down by the main party.
Seven days after forming an alliance with Illhoof, Greem’s party arrived at the floating city.
It was quite different now compared to its normal state.
There were far fewer of those looming arcane towers. Even the security towers that were necessary for defense had been cut down by a significant amount.
Countless refugees from all over the world had gathered below the colossal floating city in the golden plains. The refugees were trying their best to get onto floating discs, which would bring them into the safety of the floating city’s walls.
That seemingly provoked the other security towers. Four of them descended and started attacking the hill of mutated beasts in an attempt to save their companion. Meanwhile, the rest of them unleashed quick lightning chains at the three stone golems.
These three golems were all at the peak of Second Grade. Naturally, they were not so easily destroyed by chain lightning. The stone on the surface of their bodies was scorched black by the lightning, and pieces of it had come crumbling off. However, a yellow elementium halo flickered around them as a large amount of earth elementium flowed from their feet to the damaged parts. The earth elementium quickly solidified into new stone.
Thus, the three stone-golems were able to survive the attacks of the security towers.
The security towers’ actions became more frantic at the sight of this. They stopped in midair, contacted the floating city, and commenced channeling the power of actual arcane towers to attack the golems.
Obviously, Illhoof would never let such a good opportunity pass him by.
He suddenly emerged from the ground below the security tower. Illhoof lifted his head and roared as a giant yellow halo engulfed the four towers.
Halo of Gravity!
A Halo of Gravity released by a Fourth Grade Minor Scourge Lord!
The four security towers immediately started shaking and descending towards the ground.
The arcanists inside these towers hastily directed even more energy to the floating ring at the base of the tower. In doing so, they barely managed to resist the pull of gravity and remain flying in the air.
The arcanists were in a panic when they discovered the Fourth Grade Scourge Lord. The towers trembled as they attempted to break free of the Gravity Halo while firing a barrage of arcane attacks at the Scourge Lord.
Just as the security towers began resisting the influence of the Halo of Gravity, several dark-red Blazing Fireballs cut across the sky and blasted against their walls.
The security towers could no longer maintain stability. Black smoke rose from the towers as they spun wildly in the air and crashed to the ground.
A few thousand meters away, Greem’s giant body strode onto the battlefield with heavy steps and endless flames. His violent fireballs shot the security towers out of the sky before they could escape his range.
The two surviving security towers turned to flee towards the floating city when they recognized their defeat. However, they were intercepted by a mysterious humanoid clad in silver armor. With just a single punch for each of them, the towers were sent hurling back towards the ground.
Now that they had been grounded, these security towers would not be able to break free of the mutated beasts ever again.
Illhoof nodded in satisfaction when he saw his ‘allies’ put in work without pulling anything funny.
He was here to harvest the lives and souls in the floating city. How could he be trapped on the ground?
Illhoof stood on the ground. For the first time, he began drawing upon the full extent of his earth powers. His vicious mouth opened as all the earth elementium around him started to gather rapidly.
The next second, thick pillars of stone rose from the ground, quickly pushing Illhoof towards the sky.
The beasts that could fly also flapped their wings and hurried towards the clouds along the stone pillars. Even more of the mutated beasts leaped forward, clinging to the pillars with their sharp claws as they raced towards the floating city.
The terrifying siege had only just begun!
