Chapter 365: Chapter 256: Dwarfing All Other Mountains, the Virtual God War Ends
In this situation, the Sunbird Clan Army, which belonged to the second echelon,
flapped their wings and flew backward, concerned for their own safety.
Seeing this, the Heroic Clan member Lifuyi, who served under Lu Mei and was commanding this war, couldn’t help but cry out to stop them.
But when she opened her mouth to speak, she found herself at a loss for words.
"Hold on!"
The strongest of them, the Sun God Bird Clan Army, heeded the words of Lifuyi from the Heroic Clan,
but even they didn’t know whether to attack or retreat at this moment!
"The Magic Power... where did all the surrounding Magic Power go?"
"Why is the Magic Power inside my body disappearing too?"
These were the desperate last words of a member of the Flame Bird Clan at the vanguard. It felt the Fire Attribute Magic Power both inside and outside its body vanish simultaneously,
as it watched its own body fall, about to crash into the ground to its Death.
The same was happening to the entire Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army around it.
As for the Heroic Clan member Ignis, who had been hiding within the Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army as a trump card,
his situation was just as dire!
As a Ninth Level Heroic Clan member, his Power was certainly far greater than the members of the Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army, who had only just reached the Fifth and Sixth Levels.
But for him to face the enemy’s Fire Attribute Forbidden Curse Technique all by himself,
was an impossible task!
He was also affected by the magic-null environment.
The Heroic Clan member Ignis tried several times to reignite the flames on his body,
but as soon as the flames appeared, they were instantly extinguished.
Any Magic Power manifesting outside his body also vanished just as quickly.
Watching the members of the Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army in front of him fall to the ground one after another,
Ignis, the Ninth Level Heroic Clan member hidden among them, now began to consider escape!
Right now, he still had half of his Magic Power remaining.
If he waited any longer, once all the Magic Power in his body was depleted,
he would lose his only chance to escape!
But soon, the situation forced his hand.
After the Forbidden Curse Spell—Fiery Furnace—took shape,
although atop the Dwarf War Fortress, the Fire Attribute members of the Elf Mage Corps were also suffering, experiencing various degrees of magical disruption within their bodies.
The physically weaker Fire Attribute Elf Mages had even fainted.
But the Elf Mages of other attributes—Wood, Water, and Dark—were still able to hold on.
And as the Elf Mage Captain, Joy Pala’s Willpower was beyond question.
Mage Captain Joy Pala endured the two types of discomfort wracking her body:
the backlash from her own Magic Power and the withdrawal-like symptoms from the vanishing Fire Attribute Magic Power around her.
Despite this, she used her Spiritual Power to steer the Blazing Furnace, the manifestation of the Forbidden Curse Spell, toward the Sunbird Clan Army!
And although the Sunbird Clan knew this Forbidden Curse Spell couldn’t move too far from the Dwarf War Fortress,
the sheer Power of the spell and the magic-null environment it created
still made the Sunbird Clan Army desperate to avoid it at all costs!
Getting close was out of the question!
"Elf Archer Legion, hear my command!"
Legion Commander Feiyana’s Elf adjutant seized the opportunity and issued the command:
"All Elf Archers, switch to Armor-Piercing Arrows! Fire in volleys at the members of the Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army still in the air!"
Hearing the order from Legion Commander Feiyana’s Elf adjutant,
the long-prepared Elf Archers swiftly switched to their Armor-Piercing Arrows.
Although the Forbidden Curse Spell—Flame Furnace—was active,
meaning any spell related to Fire Attribute Magic Power would be instantly drained the moment it was cast,
and the potency of spells of other attributes would also be greatly diminished,
but when it came to purely physical attacks,
their power was not reduced in the slightest.
Obeying the order from Legion Commander Feiyana’s adjutant,
the sound of bowstrings thrumming rose and fell continuously above the Dwarf War Fortress.
A dense, black rain of arrows, like a dark cloud, instantly descended upon the Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army!
To the Heroic Clan member Ignis’s further despair,
dozens of firing ports suddenly opened in the walls of the Dwarf War Fortress.
Behind these ports were Magic Giant Crossbows, ready to fire.
The magic-null environment
did not mean that the effects of Magic Runes were also diminished.
The effects of Magic Runes inscribed on weapons were only minimally impacted by the magic-null environment;
their imparted power was only reduced by about ten percent.
Thus, empowered by Magic Runes that provided effects like acceleration and sharpness,
these heavy weapons, not entirely reliant on Magic Power,
suddenly let out a roar!
And these giant crossbows were aimed directly at the position of the Sun God Bird Clan’s Heroic Clan member, Ignis!
Feeling his Sixth Sense screaming a frantic warning,
at this critical juncture, the Heroic Clan member Ignis finally made the most difficult decision of his life!
"Retreat! Vanguard, retreat!"
the Heroic Clan member Ignis shrieked.
While ordering the surrounding Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army to retreat,
he beat his own wings, trying to escape the kill zone!
However, it was too late!
The bolts from the specially-made giant crossbows arrived with a scream as they ripped through the air!
The Sun God Bird Clan’s Heroic Clan member, Ignis, wanted to cast his Talent Spell—Sun Barrier—to block the attack as he usually would,
but not even a single spark appeared around him.
Reacting in the nick of time, the Heroic Clan member Ignis
could only rely on the physical strength of his body as a Ninth Level Heroic Clan member to attempt a desperate dodge.
