Chapter 393 392:Devastation 2
Many clutched onto broken parts of the walls for support with all their might while for many, their hands slipped and their grips loosen making them caught up in the circular vortex where they became mince meat after being hit by the sharp-edged debris.
Only a strong Legendary rank could cut one of his storms after a bitter struggle but since there is none here, Arkham will surely suffer.
The Mages tried to neutralise the spell but the force of the wind was too great for them to engage, they weren\'t able to even stand still so how could they cast spells?
Alex noticed the typhoons after causing a great deal of destruction were now on the last leg.
Alex clenched his fist making the two magic circles in his palms grow and glow at once.
The mana around Alex surged towards him and swirled around him.
RUMBlE...RUMBLE.....
The Arkham soldiers who lay on the ground while breathing heavily, felt their hearts coming out from their bodies as they heard a loud sound.
"Is he a Transcendent rank or is he hiding his strength?"One of the mages spoke after noticing Alex\'s level.
"If the mana I have is equal to a bucket then the mana he has is akin to a pond or even a lake." The mage muttered with eyes filled with disbelief.
He was reluctant to believe that there was a human with so much mana while he was in the same stage as him.
But reality hit him hard.
Alex put his hands down and roared.
"Lightning Punishment!"
His roar was followed by a sound which was akin to the roar of the sky.
As if it was angry at the Arkham soldiers, the entire sky exploded and huge bolts of lightning showered onto them.
Purplish latches started to fall and bombarded everywhere in the fort one after another which was followed by heavy sounds of blasts one after another.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
Lightning accompanied by thunderstorms crashed onto the fortress decimating everything.
The process went on for ten minutes.
The dark clouds that were masking the rays of the sun dispersed leaving behind broken ruins of the majestic fortress.
The walls along with the castles were entirely broken, and there were huge chunks of debris all around.
Everything that was struck by lightning was destroyed and turned into dust.
The fire was spreading wild causing a mess.
Even though the place holds great significance for the border, it didn\'t matter to him now.
Since it had already fallen into the hands of the opposing forces, it was better for this place to be destroyed than to be used against them.
There were fewer than 10,000 soldiers stationed out of his countless loss of their lives.
Alex sternly stared at the faces of the surviving filled with anger, pain, sorrow, and suffering but more than that there was fear.
A fear that seemed to be etched deep in their heart.
The soldiers were trembling in fear and praying in their hearts as they saw Alex\'s figure gazing at them.
Some even lose their consciousness due to fear of the upcoming crisis.
Alex guessed he had taken down 40 per cent of the soldiers stationed here and he was sure of one thing now.
No one among the survivors would dare to face him again. His existence was enough to make them crawl in fear.
He nodded in satisfaction after achieving the desired outcome.
It is time for him to go for the next prey.
Alex squinted his eyes and after glancing at everything moved to the next target.
Leaving behind the mark of destruction, Alex\'s silhouette vanished.
........
Near the Terror Of Ranvier.
Noah stood folding his arms over his chest while waiting for the forest to burn down entirely.
Before him was a spectacular scene of dense fire burning down everything as it advanced deeper and deeper.
While the fire was doing its work, they have not been standing still. Every time a part of the forest was burned, his men were already working and trying to clear out the area filled with ashes, dust and the remains.
Their lines had already been advanced quite a bit but then Noah observed something amiss.
The air filled with smoke and dust that was flying over to the other side seemed to clash against the smoke and dust coming from the opposite direction.
Noah observed the phenomenon for some time and he narrowed his eyes.
Seeing his frown, General Zhang asked"Is there something wrong?"
"Can you see the wind flow up there? If the opposite side used the mages to blow away the dust it wouldn\'t be like this." Noah spoke.
General Zhang looked at the sky above them with a confused expression.
Turbulent airflow seemed to be meeting each other forming a mini whirlpool which rose high up into the sky.
Both of them seemed to be cancelling each other and preventing the air above the forest to be filled with a layer of heavy smoke.
"There seems to be smoke coming from the other side and I am sure it isn\'t the smoke of the fire caused by us?" General Zhang muttered.
"The other side had also lit the fire and let the forest burn and let the other fire diffuse this and it also prevented the fire from spreading further."
"Moreover, even if we clear up the area like this, soon we will encounter another fire and can\'t proceed further. The enemies would surely make themselves hide in the remains of the fire and attack us."Noah spoke with worry.
"We need to think of something quickly."
Noah calmed himself and tried to think of something.
His enemy was an excellent strategist like him.
He needs to think of a counter as soon as possible.
Beep...Beep...
Noah who was in deep thought heard the sound of the communicator and he took it out from his waist.
"Noah Ark, here! What is the situation?"
"You-.....Your Highness, we are destroyed?"
Noah for a moment thought that he heard something wrong and shook his head and asked again.
" What did you say? Repeat."
"Your Highness the fifth defence line is destroyed. A man who seemed to be a mage appeared here and struck us down with destructive spells one after another until everything collapsed."
"He is targeting the communicator first but fortunately, we have kept a spare communication hidden by the man who was on patrol and was able to avoid the calamity. "
"The enemy came single-handedly and took down everything. The casualties are quite big and 60 per cent of the soldiers on the fifth defence line were annihilated by his destructive spell."
Noah\'s body jerked as he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He flinched back with a pale expression and dropped the communication tool.
The words of the soldier struck like thunder in his ear. He tried to calm himself but his heart was a mess.
He picked up the tool with trembling hands and asked"Are you sure it was a single man?"
"Yes, your Highness and he seemed to be in Transcendent Rank. We weren\'t able to spot his face properly but we were able to glimpse his golden hair stained with blood."
Silence!
A deathly silence lingered for a moment. With a trembling voice, Noah asked about the other defence lines.
He called the Second Defense Line but he got nothing.
He called the Third and to his relief it was safe.
He asked to gather the reports and…
Within half an hour, he received the report.
The first, Second and Fifth lines were attacked.
The report broke the last straw and patience of Noah\'s Ark.
He was an unyielding man who could turn his disadvantage into an advantage but this time, he felt as if he kicked an iron plate but that doesn\'t mean he would back down now.
"Good...Good."
"You are truly a worthy opponent Alex but that\'s it. You want to dominate this battle with strength so now I would let you see absolute power." Noah roared with anger.
He didn\'t want to use this.
This was the last of the hidden trump cards in the arsenal.
With bloodshot eyes, he stared straight ahead and spoke.
"You sneaked in to attack my people behind my back now I would do the same."
Although fighting in a place filled with fire seemed dangerous, it didn\'t cause much harm to high-ranking warriors.
The aura user can cover their body in aura to prevent themselves from getting the brunt so as the mages who could use the barrier.
The only problem was the smoke which would block the vision and make it difficult for one to breathe.
But that would be only when his whole army would march.
It was time for him to deploy his trunk cards. He had saved these in case Kinley acts for them but now he wants them to engage and kill the enemy no matter what.
He can\'t let the thorn in his eyes grow anymore. If he let it slide now, he would only lose more men.
Even if he had to deploy his tigers to hunt the rabbit, he wouldn\'t falter now.
"General Den and Sir Hunter."
"I want you to cross the forest, and kill the enemies. Break the limbs of that girl Riya. I want Alex to see his wife die before his eyes."
"General Zhang, you and Sir Richard are the only Legendary rank we have now. I want you to stay here and oversee the place and I will take others."
"Now clear the way for us, "Noah shouted.
"Yes Your Highness!"
"Yes Your Highness!"
The golden armoured man named Hunter and General Den released an aura that skyrocketed to the Mythic rank.
The entire place shook and with a stomp, they shot forward with a loud blast.
