Chapter 72: Then I will... fulfill your wish! |
Deswen’s lips twitched as he looked up at Jonas floating in the air.
Completely stunned?
One man!
One man blocking the attack of two mage corps?
How was that possible?
What was his magical strength?
Frost Silver?
Suddenly, he began to understand Evelos.
He realized why Evelos could be captured by Jonas amidst thousands of soldiers.
For a moment, none of them released any magical power.
As mages, they knew better than anyone the intensity of that recent attack.
If someone claimed a single person could hold off two mage corps’ attacks, they would all think that person was either mad or an idiot.
But the reality was happening right before their eyes.
This very man had single-handedly blocked attacks from two mage corps.
Every mage believed themselves to be favored by the gods, geniuses in their own right.
Now seeing how young Jonas was, and how effortlessly he blocked two mage corps’ attacks,
They suddenly felt how ridiculous their past pride was in front of Jonas.
Charis watched from behind Jonas.
“Lord Jonas has grown stronger again.
Sigh... when will I ever catch up to him?”
Katdera pursed her lips beside her. Compared to the fireball blaze on the 12th night,
Jonas’s aura now was even thicker and more robust.
No...
How could a single person’s strength grow this fast?
Jonas floated in the air and spoke to the army below:
“I give you a choice: submit or die!”
As soon as Jonas finished speaking,
Suddenly, loud booms came from the rear left and right sides of the Destiny army.
Then orderly footsteps and battle cries followed.
Dust billowed as two troop formations rushed in swiftly.
These two forces did not attack immediately; they were the swordsman corps led by Oliphina,
And the army led by his own father.
They lined up in perfect order behind the Destiny circle on the left and right flanks, trapping the Destiny army within.
Blocking their only path of retreat.
The atmosphere changed instantly.
Looking at the banners above, Deswen was shocked inwardly.
How could so many troops assemble in the Thunderkeep Territory in such a short time?
Although uneasy inside, Deswen shouted loudly: “A mere army of about ten thousand, do you think you can stop our sixty thousand?
Submit?
Since the flames of our rebellion ignited, the Destiny Army has never bowed or feared!”
Jonas sneered contemptuously.
At this moment, the mage corps led by Charis stood beside him.
Under the surge of magical power on each of them, continuous magic was being supplied to Jonas,
Forming faint magical ripples around him.
This was the Magic Gathering Formation obtained through the two rings he had seized, an important formation equipped by every army’s mage corps.
Gathering magical power could unleash spells of a higher realm.
But it also caused tremendous strain on the caster.
Jonas had 100% magical power, allowing him to maximize the potential of such formations,
Even reaching the strength of Melting Gold-tier magic.
As countless magic power gathered, the air around Jonas twisted slightly.
Deswen immediately ordered: “Archers, mage corps, interrupt his casting!”
Instantly, countless arrows and spells bombarded Jonas.
But such attacks were useless against him.
One hand gathered magical power while the other stretched forward.
A faint magical ripple appeared, a powerful defensive magic isolating all outside air.
He said lightly: “If you refuse to submit, then die!”
With a sudden chilling tone, his hands slowly rose.
In an instant, the sky changed.
The surrounding air shifted subtly, and a sudden coldness descended.
Everyone instinctively shrank back.
Suddenly, they all looked up together, seeing a tiny crystal forming in the air.
The next moment, a dazzling cold light spread above the entire army like stars.
It enveloped the entire sixty thousand soldiers beneath it.
At first glance, everyone was blinded.
At the second glance, cold sweat broke out over their bodies.
Those were countless icy swords formed by solidified ice, densely covering the entire sky.
Each sharp arrow sparkled with a piercing and chilling brilliance.
They could even feel the deadly cold aura radiating from above,
Instinctively forcing them to stop their attacks.
The terrifying ice arrows hung like blades at everyone’s necks,
As if any slight movement could snatch their lives away.
Their bodies instantly broke out in goosebumps.
If before they thought the Sixth Corps lost to Jonas because they were cowards and trash,
Now they only saw Jonas as a demon.
One man, so young,
How could he wield such power to change the course of battle?
“G-god...”
Slynda, standing behind Oliphina, widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and opened her lips, unable to close them for a long time.
Jonas... how could he be so terrifying?
Not long ago...
He seemed to be just casting fireball spells, right?
Holdo’s lips twitched beside her as well.
No wonder Jonas was confident enough to block two Destiny army corps.
Combined with the mage corps, he could wield such decisive battlefield power.
Jonas was even stronger than he had imagined.
Watching the scene below, Jonas said calmly:
“I still say the same: submit or die.”
Deswen looked at the sky full of ice arrows and swallowed hard.
He suddenly regretted accepting this mission.
With such walls and such battlefield-deciding mage power,
How could his single corps possibly take it?
No wonder!
No wonder Yaoluo had pledged allegiance to such a man!
Jonas truly had the power to overthrow the Destiny Army!
But surrender?
Ha...
Deswen stared straight at Jonas.
“Our Destiny Army is the spark of the uprising, the future of every race.
On the battlefield, only death is possible, never surrender!
When the flame of Destiny spreads here, one day, your Thunderkeep will be trampled by our Destiny army!
Besides, with your troop numbers, who knows who will win!”
Jonas chuckled softly: “Such a noble ‘only death, no surrender.’
Then I will... fulfill your wish!”
