Chapter 272 Turning Point
The battle in the sky presented a strange sight.
Two enormous black giants, like the most loyal bulwark, stood at the forefront, enduring the furious attacks of the God of Blades.
The bone blade formed by this holy arm has transcended the realm of ordinary iron. Each swing can easily slice through space, and even a casual strike can easily split the black giant's massive body in two!
However, what would be fatal to most creatures had little effect on the black giant.
As bio-engineered beasts constructed from pure elemental energy, they possess extremely high resistance to purely physical cutting attacks.
The severed surface was not covered in blood, but only flowed intense heat and rapidly self-repairing skin texture.
Often, as soon as the God of Blades' bone blade slices through, the shattered body heals itself in a flash of energy, as if only a ripple has been temporarily created on the surface of water.
"roar!"
A black giant suddenly lowered its head and opened its massive maw towards the densely packed army of holy servants below, not to roar, but to violently suck them dry!
In an instant, the heat in the fan-shaped area below was instantly sucked away, and the air temperature plummeted to an unimaginable level.
Before the thousands of holy servants above could even scream, they were transformed into ice sculptures of various shapes and sizes.
Then, the black giant raised his head, combined the immense heat energy he had just absorbed with his own destructive energy, and transformed it into a blazing white torrent several meters in diameter, which he spewed towards the God of Blades!
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the God of Blades, and he casually slashed with his bone blade.
The energy beam, powerful enough to melt through mountains, was precisely cleaved in two as if it were a real object. The split beams grazed his divine body and evaporated the distant clouds.
While the two sides were locked in combat, a group of level-three wizards who were free to fight floated in the far distance, continuously unleashing various spells and bombarding the God of Blades.
Although these attacks individually do not deal much damage to Blade God, their cumulative effect is definitely not insignificant.
But whenever he tries to deal with the three-level wizards around him who are constantly casting annoying spells, a distorted force field ripples around the black giant.
That was the talent passed down from the Black Giant to the Yeti: the Time Slowing Domain!
Within this realm, the Blade God's lightning-fast attacks become "slow" and "clear," giving third-level wizards ample time to cast spells to reposition or launch a counterattack.
While the Time Reversal Domain has very little effect on the Blade God himself, it is extremely effective against the attacks he unleashes.
The combination of the black giant and the level three wizard greatly hampered his movements, making him feel like he was stuck in a quagmire, possessing great power but unable to use it effectively.
While the two sides were locked in a stalemate in the air, Jemin on the ground was also caught in a fierce battle.
Having lost the Black Giant as his strongest shield, he faced an overwhelming tide of Holy Warriors and the Holy Spirits who would launch surprise attacks from time to time, putting him under immense pressure.
Although the "Great Light Image" behind it was still unleashing its firepower, the markings on the core triple energy disc were decreasing at a visible rate.
Finally, after an overloaded salvo cleared out a large area, the light on the disc dimmed completely—the energy was depleted!
"Trouble," Jieming said, quickly switching his fighting style and relying on his agile movements and various instant-cast spells to maneuver around the enemy.
Fortunately, as time went on, more and more formal wizards emerged from the portal.
They formed a battle formation and joined forces to cast a large-scale combined spell, finally stabilizing the ground battlefield and freeing Jemin from the predicament of fighting alone.
Just as Jemin was catching his breath and pondering how to break the stalemate in the air, or find an alternative energy source for the "Great Light Phase," BOOM!!
A deep, earth-shattering roar came from the direction of the portal!
Under the astonished gaze of all the creatures on the field, the circular spatial gate, which was originally only one kilometer in diameter, suddenly expanded outwards as if its edges had been forcibly stretched open by an invisible giant hand!
In just a few breaths, its diameter surged to nearly two kilometers!
This sudden change brought a moment of deathly silence to the battlefield.
The fanatical expressions on the faces of the holy servants, which had been growing as their side gained the upper hand, froze instantly, turning into terror.
All the wizards erupted in thunderous cheers!
They understood that this meant that Lord Dionysius Spencer had finally secured and widened the passage at the other end!
More and more powerful bio-beasts, war golems, and organized wizard legions surged out of the space gate, which had more than doubled in size, like a flood bursting its banks!
The arrival of fresh troops immediately reversed the stalemate on the ground, and the Holy Army's defenses began to retreat steadily.
However, this "gushing" lasted for less than half a minute before abruptly stopping.
The servants were taken aback, and their remaining hope was rekindled.
Could it be that the connection is malfunctioning again?
But the wizards' expressions of ecstasy grew even more intense, bordering on fanatical devotion.
Jemin clearly sensed an indescribable, immense will attempting to cross over from the other side of the spatial gate.
The presence of this will was so immense that even the expanded doorway seemed somewhat "narrow".
Its passage was like a giant whale passing through a crack, causing a violent spatial ripple and a brief "lag".
Finally, that willpower successfully "squeezed" through!
It has no specific form; the moment it appears, it transforms into an invisible and intangible wave that instantly sweeps across every corner of the entire Sacred Continent!
Mountains, rivers, cities, living beings, and even the energy flowing in the air—
Everything seemed to lose its secret under this fluctuation.
Jemin was all too familiar with this kind of fluctuation; he had experienced it several times in the Erosian plane—it was a powerful method unique to fate wizards, capable of scanning the entire plane's information flow!
The fluctuations come and go quickly, disappearing in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a calm yet supremely authoritative voice resounded deep within the souls of every wizard on the battlefield, as clear as a whisper:
"Dimensional scan complete. Confirmed highest energy level reaction in this realm is level five; no indication of level six or higher exists."
"The order is as follows: Eliminate all resistance and occupy this territory."
"Everyone—kill them all."
The last four words were spoken by the wizard Dionysius Spencer with a nonchalant tone, almost calm, as if a lord were instructing a servant to clean the room—as if it were a matter of course, and utterly insignificant.
But to all the wizards, those words were like the cold winds of winter, blowing away all hesitation and probing, setting the final bloody tone for this cross-border war.
All the wizards' auras changed, and even the bio-beasts and the theoretically mindless construct legions became even more menacing. (Bonus chapter, one more to come.)
