Chapter 366: Chapter 256: Dwarfing All Other Mountains, the Virtual Divine War Ends
PSST—!
A Crossbow bolt grazed his wing as it flew past, taking several golden feathers with it.
THWACK—!
Another Crossbow bolt struck his left wing with precision, and blood instantly gushed out.
"Ah!"
Ignis of the Heroic Clan let out a pained cry. His flying form faltered as he retreated, and he instantly lost control.
What was even more terrifying was that,
once the Flame Bird Clan lost the protection of the Sun Barrier,
the Armor-Piercing Arrows fired by the Elf Archers
easily pierced through the Flame Bird Clan’s fragile feathers.
They wiped out the entire Blazing Flame Bird Clan Army that had been shielding him!
The wails of the Flame Bird Clan rose and fell in waves,
and swaths of Flame Birds plummeted from the sky like kites with their strings cut.
"No!" From a distance, the Heroic Clan’s commander, Lifuyi, could only watch helplessly, powerless to change anything.
Flame Wings tried to move forward to help, but as they drew closer, they found they couldn’t even cast the simplest Fireball Technique.
In this Magicless Zone, the Sun God Bird lineage had been stripped of its greatest advantage!
Ignis grit his teeth against the searing pain, trying to stabilize his body.
But the injury to his left wing made it difficult to maintain his balance. Compounded by the effects of the magicless environment, his altitude was steadily dropping.
’No... I can’t die here!’
Ignis of the Heroic Clan clenched his jaw and mustered his last ounce of Power to retreat.
However, the Giant Crossbows already aimed at him clearly weren’t going to give him that chance!
The second wave of Crossbow bolts was already loaded, aimed at his faltering figure.
At this life-or-death moment, Ignis made a startling decision.
He abruptly folded his wings, allowing his body to plummet downwards,
narrowly avoiding the second volley from the Giant Crossbows.
BOOM!
Ignis slammed heavily into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although the fall added injury to injury,
it was still better than being shot full of holes like a sieve by Crossbow bolts.
"Quick! Rescue Ignis!" the Heroic Clan’s Lifuyi hurriedly commanded.
The more-or-less intact Sunbird Clan Army wanted to brave the rain of arrows and advance to the rescue.
But when the Elf Archers saw this, they drew their Bows and Arrows even faster, their shots becoming more concentrated!
Every Armor-Piercing Arrow precisely locked down their rescue route.
Ignis of the Heroic Clan struggled several times to get back up,
but he discovered that his left wing was now completely immobile.
Worse still, he could feel that the injuries from the fall now made it impossible for him to even spread his wings to stand up!
Of all the Clans under Lu Mei,
of the three great Heroic Clans,
Ignis, whom Lifuyi of the Heroic Clan had been holding as her trump card,
was now grievously wounded and only a step away from Death.
Although Red Wings and Lifuyi were in the rear, they were under the influence of the Forbidden Curse Spell, Blazing Furnace,
and could exert less than half of their full Power.
The Flame Bird auxiliary Clan Corps was almost completely annihilated,
the Sunbird Clan Army had taken minor casualties,
and while the Sun God Bird Clan Army was undamaged, their situation was similar to that of the Heroic Clan’s Red Wings and Lifuyi.
’Our losses are this devastating in the very first battle against Zhang Yi’s Clans, so what about the rest of the divine war?’
Looking at the scene before her, at the devastating losses her Clans had suffered,
for the first time, the thought of giving up sprouted in Lu Mei’s heart.
’If this were a real divine war, I would definitely weigh the pros and cons and choose to give up here and now.’
’But this is a virtual divine war. Since my defeat is already certain, let me see just how wide the gap between you and me really is!’
A flicker of determination flashed through Lu Mei’s cold eyes,
and then, she issued her final order to Lifuyi of the Heroic Clan!
