"Aren’t you coming back? Do you really intend to watch your son, in order to guard the territory you built, exhaust his vitality and die in battle?"
After having an open-hearted conversation with Tidel, Noah sent off this man burdened with heavy responsibilities, and though the place was empty, the Giant Dragon still spoke to himself.
Unfortunately, no voice responded to Noah, and the Giant Dragon had to feign a sorrowful sigh before walking into the Tower to assume the authority of the Sun Governor.
Leaving the territory of the Augustus family, he was just an ordinary adolescent Ancestral Golden Dragon, at most capable of bullying and slaughtering Demons of the second and third rank Extreme Intent, standing his ground, and fighting against peak Extreme Intent Demons.
But upon returning to the territory, under the blessing of the Mage City, Noah, as the Sun Governor, could intimidate a Legend.
During Noah’s two-year absence, the lone Tidel could only shoulder all responsibilities alone, but now with Noah’s return, considered a Legend, it greatly relieved the pressure on Tidel.
"After enjoying benefits for so many years, now it’s time to give back."
With the assistance of Ta Ling Gug Feier, all ten Yang Flame Mirrors rose, suspended above Mage City, the ten round mirrors slowly turned, resembling ten Sun Wheels, emitting warm golden glow, providing great psychological comfort to the refugees in the city below.
Because even illiterate civilians knew, those were extremely powerful magic artifacts, and those with some experience recognized them as attack magic-guided devices that were extremely targeted and suppressive against the Undead and dark creatures.
However, even some knowledgeable old Mages found it difficult to determine their attack method when looking at these ten round mirrors, as it was entirely different from conventional magic-guided devices.
Yet, such doubts quickly vanished with the rumble of Mage City, as the giant Mysterious Lock covering the city, because of Mage City’s power diversion, weakened in effect.
Even common folk could see the elemental vortex swirling and flowing in the sky, accelerating towards the center, and Mage City ceaselessly inhaling and exhaling elemental tides, burst forth with intense light throughout, the light converging towards the most central and majestic Sky Tower.
Pure gold light rose from the Tower, a Yang Flame Mirror on top of the Tower rotated, causing this beam meant to shoot into the deepest part of the Sky Dome to change direction, and then another mirror descended,
after the second refraction, the diameter of this beam expanded enough to easily engulf a Giant Dragon, at this point, no more mirrors descended, the angle had adjusted to the appropriate position,
The burst of light was actually silent, but the energy within was so overwhelming that it crushed and obliterated all matter in front, even air, with domineering force, everything would be annihilated, causing the atmosphere to tremble and roar continually.
At this moment, all witnessing creatures, whether commoners, lofty Mages, or Devils hidden in the city, were all shocked by this attack that pierced the sky and shot afar.
This was an attack beyond everyone’s perceptual range, and its target was unknown to anyone except the Golden Dragon manipulating everything in the Mage Tower.
However, news soon came back, as many Transcendents pursued this attack, someone traced the enduring light path in the sky to its final strike point.
It was a small city located just outside the borders of the Augustus family, a very small city, with only a scale of two or three thousand people, primarily thriving due to the Augustus family’s prosperity by supplying passing trade travelers.
Yet now, the city had been completely erased, everything within annihilated, the arriving Transcendents saw a steaming pit, the melted soil and stone structures by intense heat, and unknown corpses dissolved into liquid, rolling down the crater walls, finally pooling into a modest lava pond at the bottom.
One strike destroyed the city!
Although this was a small city on the border of the Augustus family, only classified as a village or town in the Augustus family’s administrative sequence, in the perception of most humans, it was a city, but now, this city was destroyed, everything obliterated.
This invoked fear and dread, yet as more news arrived, the refugees within the Augustus family territory felt reassured.
Because in the remnants of the city ruins, some skeletons were found, many of which were just wrapped in human skin, beneath which were deformed monsters.
The Purgatory aura emanating from them was all too familiar to some Transcendents, depicting a city already hollowed out by Devils without anyone noticing.
Finding this city’s location on a map, and considering the number of its residents, it’s hard not to be deeply terrified.
