Chapter 298. Saturation Bombardment
“Not bad, kid!”
Pope Gregory VII seized the opportunity and strode forward, raising the scepter in his hand high.
Circles of golden halos spread from the tip of the scepter. Aureus and Elena felt a warm current surge through their entire bodies. The Battle Aura inside them, which had originally become sluggish and dim because of the 【Domain of Decay】, seemed to have been infused with boiling oil. It instantly began to seethe and burn once more!
Most of the weakness caused by the suppression of the 【Domain of Decay】 was forcibly dispelled.
【Sacred Hymn · Song of Courage】!
“Let’s go!”
Aureus let out a heaven-shaking roar, and the ground beneath his feet shattered once more. His entire body transformed into an even more dazzling golden meteor as he crashed toward Moran’s chest in the purest and most domineering manner!
At the same time, Elena’s figure completely vanished into the air, as though she had merged into shadow and breeze.
Only strings of sword shadows, cold and clear as the moon, remained where she had been. Like maggots clinging to bone, they constantly flickered and cut within a hundred-meter radius around Moran. Each sword shadow cunningly targeted the weak nodes in the flow of his energy.
“Heh, this old man cannot just stand by and watch either!” Dean Barnabas grinned and tapped his oak staff repeatedly toward the sky. “Multiple Meteor Explosion!”
Hundreds of lava meteors tore through the gloomy fire clouds, trailing scorching tails of flame as they came whistling down.
“Let’s add a little extra—Group Enlargement Spell!”
As a Seventh-Tier Archmage, the old dean’s spell chaining was exquisitely precise.
He struck his staff heavily against the ground, and invisible mana ripples instantly caught up with the falling rain of fire.
Boom!
The meteors in midair expanded several times over against the wind, instantly transforming into burning mountains that blotted out the sky!
With the terrifying increase in both size and mass, the original meteor shower was directly upgraded into a despairing heavenly disaster capable of crushing the void, launching a saturation bombardment at Moran with no blind spots.
For a time, giant stars fell like rain!
Under that apocalyptic chain bombardment, Moran’s figure was as insignificant as an ant. The terrifying pressure forced him to cast spells madly, retreating in a sorry state amid the suffocating firelight and airwaves.
“Sylvia, and seniors, we cannot let him drag this out any longer.”
Logaris glanced at Sylvia not far away.
This Governor of the Northern Territory had already drawn 【Star’s Judgment】. Upon the battle-worn blade, the Battle Aura that had belonged to Hero King Roland in life was being unsealed.
“I know.”
Sylvia’s voice was icy.
Roland’s memory construct and Maggie’s memory construct, who stood beside her, also exchanged a glance.
“The juniors these days really have no sense of artistry when they fight.” Roland sounded disdainful, but his hand had already gripped that ordinary longsword.
“However, I have no objection to cleaning up garbage that profanes my bloodline.”
Maggie snorted coldly. Dark purple data streams flowed through her eyes. She suddenly raised her hand and clenched it toward Moran’s direction.
This move was a spell she had previously learned from the fragments of Logaris’s memories.
Even she had to admit that the conception of this spell was exquisite.
【Multi-Casting · Aether Disintegration · Corona】!
The space beneath Moran’s feet fluctuated without warning. Then, three miniature white spheres of light radiating destructive high temperatures instantly took shape and exploded!
Moran let out a scream. That half-draconified side of his body was burned by the extremely high-energy fission reaction until it hissed, and large patches of black scales peeled away.
At that moment, the spellcasting glove in Logaris’s hand erupted with an unprecedentedly intense light.
“It is not over yet.”
Logaris took a deep breath. He did not choose a conventional spell. Instead, he used the spellwork he had excavated from Maggie’s knowledge base, the one that best matched his own philosophy.
“Forbidden Spell · Twilight Prelude!”
A silver river of light appeared in the sky.
Countless arcane meteors over a hundred meters in diameter emerged once again, burning with deep-blue flames and covering heaven and earth.
These meteors did not simply fall. When they approached Moran, they instantly triggered violent “mana sympathetic detonations” across a radius of several kilometers.
The free magical elements in the air were forcibly ignited, forming chain explosions.
Under this saturation bombardment of evocation spells, Moran fell into a massive disadvantage even with the power of the Dragon King empowering him, and he let out pained roars.
Elena and Aureus seized the opportunity to close in. Elena’s sword light moved like a shadow, while Aureus’s greatsword split mountains.
Moran had just endured that wave of bombardment. His body was exhausted, and his mana was in chaos.
“【Spatial Imprisonment】!” Logaris attacked again. He gripped the air with both hands, and the space around Moran instantly solidified like amber, leaving him unable to move.
“【Edict · Immobilization】!” Maggie’s memory construct followed immediately. She raised her hand and pointed. Invisible spell power, like tens of millions of steel nails, completely pinned Moran in place.
“ROAR—!” Moran let out an unwilling roar. He felt himself being bound by one powerful force after another. He possessed strength, yet he could not break free.
Sylvia moved. Her fair fingers clenched tightly around the hilt of 【Star’s Judgment】, and the Battle Aura inside her body surged madly into the blade, directly breaking through two Threshold Locks.
“【The Vastness of Heaven and Earth】!”
A silver sword light stretching across a thousand meters, carrying the resolve to cleave open chaos, slashed out from Sylvia’s hand.
At the same time, Roland’s memory construct also let out a hearty laugh. His illusory longsword tore through the sky and intertwined with Sylvia’s sword light in midair.
The combined attack of two generations of royal powerhouses was impossible to avoid!
“No—!”
Moran’s eyes nearly split apart. He forcibly overloaded his mana, trying to break free of the control, but he was ultimately one step too slow.
Crack!
Bloodlight burst forth.
Sylvia’s sharp silver-white sword light viciously tore through Moran’s defense and struck his waist and abdomen, leaving a terrifying wound so deep that bone was visible.
Meanwhile, Roland’s illusory yet fatal sword precisely swept across his black-scaled left shoulder and severed his left arm at the root!
As the severed arm fell, it was shredded into nothingness by the intertwined, raging Sword Aura of the two.
“Dead rat, we are not done yet!”
Aureus and Elena pressed forward with the momentum.
“【Skyfall · Mountain-Collapsing Strike】!”
Aureus leapt high, and all the Battle Aura in his body condensed into a golden illusory greatsword a hundred meters long. He smashed it viciously toward the wound where Moran’s arm had been severed!
“【Instant Shadow Flowing Light · Seven-Star Slash】!”
Elena transformed into a star-track-like thread too fine for the naked eye to capture, stabbing seven times in succession. Each strike landed with incomparable precision on the vital joints of Moran’s legs!
Moran endured the agony of his severed arm. Ghostly green deathfire surged from the wound as he tried to cast a necromantic defensive spell to block them.
“【Divine Punishment · Purifying Torrent】!”
The 【Divine Punishment】 scepter in Pope Gregory VII’s hand swept forward, and a golden torrent of Holy Light poured down, directly washing over Moran’s necromantic defense.
Holy Light naturally countered necromantic power. Moran’s defense was instantly weakened severely, and the deathfire went out. Aureus’s and Elena’s attacks landed solidly on Moran’s body.
Moran’s body was heavily injured once again. His dragon scales shattered, and he spat out black blood in great mouthfuls.
Logaris looked at Moran, who was already close to being beaten into minced flesh, but he did not relax his vigilance.
He knew very clearly that for a villain of this level, if one did not finish him off until not even ash remained, there was always a chance he might turn the tables.
“The final strike.”
