Chapter 662: Chapter 266 Breaking Evil (Two in One Mega Chapter)_3
Cleya’s face broke into a slight smile and said, “I heard that Count Habs’s daughter Cleya is a top student at the Imperial Royal Academy. It seems she does have some merit after all.”
“High Priestess, wasn’t this what we expected? Their response to the surprise attack is exactly as we anticipated,” a tall and thin Black Flame Cultist said with a chuckle.
“Kurban, leave the formation-breaking to you,” Galina said with a seductive smile.
“Don’t worry, High Priestess.”
The Black Flame Cultist named Kurban, along with five other Black Flame Cultists, stepped forward. At a considerable distance, they began to lay out some materials on the ground.
Soon, under the direction of the one named Kurban, a dark magical formation with intricate black lines was set up!
Including Kurban, the five Black Flame Cultists each took their positions at one of the five points of the inverted pentagram formation, with Kurban standing at the most forward point. Almost simultaneously, they began chanting the spells.
Surrounding the four other Black Flame Cultists, a black fire like serpentine flames began to curl around them, while Kurban raised his hands, palms facing up, and a black flame fireball the size of a fist formed about a meter in front of him.
The four serpentine black flames converged towards the black flame fireball in front of Kurban like rivers flowing into the sea!
The originally fist-sized black fireball swelled at a visibly rapid pace, a powerful energy disturbance escaping from it.
Rein, in the midst of the battle formation, furrowed his brow at once as he sensed the strong energy disturbance from not far away.
Moreover, the pattern of the disturbance suggested that it was a combined spell attack, indicating that a powerful witchcraft attack was likely on the way.
“Damn, it’s combined witchcraft, no, it’s a dark magical formation!” Cleya’s face changed color immediately.
She quickly realized that the enemy was far more troublesome than she had anticipated.
Her side had just set up a defensive battle formation, but the enemy quickly countered with a dark magical formation. Judging by the energy disturbance from the dark magical formation, a powerful dark spell was about to strike!
“To the northeast, archers, attack at maximum range!” Cleya immediately reacted, giving the command.
Following a volley of arrows, a faint black shimmering membrane pulsed in the distance. The arrow barrage seemed to splash against an umbrella, failing even to delay the enemy’s spellcasting.
The problem was, disbanding the battle formation now would not only be impossible in time, but also a devastating blow to their own side’s morale!
Suddenly, Cleya was faced with a dilemma!
“Leave it to me!” A calm and familiar voice reached Cleya’s ears.
Cleya looked up in surprise.
As soon as Rein had spoken, he stomped heavily on the ground, leaving behind the clear impression of his armored boot as he vaulted up, quickly crossing the shield-bearing Cavalry to the very front of the formation.
Immediately after, he rushed towards the direction of the energy disturbance!
“Rein, your weapon…” Seeing Rein charge forward unarmed, Cleya cried out in alarm.
On the dark magical formation side, the sight of a figure suddenly jumping out of the enemy formation and rushing towards them made the Black Flame Cultist led by Kurban pause in astonishment.
Was this seeking death?
At this point, their chanting was coming to an end; in the next second, they could unleash a dark spell with far greater power than first-level witchcraft—Black Flame Burst!
Charging straight forward, wasn’t that courting death?
The enemy could dodge!
But… if so, then his battle formation behind him would suffer the consequences!
“Aim for this guy who jumped out, let’s see if he dodges or not!” Kurban said with a mocking smile.
In an instant, a nearly half-meter in diameter, fiercely burning black fireball, dragging a long tail of flames, was hurled at Rein, who was in full sprint between the battle formation and the Black Flame Cultists.
“Rein, watch out!” Cleya’s eyes suddenly widened!
Facing the incoming colossal black flame fireball, Rein let out a low growl, activating his Giant Strength Talent!
In an instant, the Hardened Essence Gold that covered the surface of his gauntlet transformed into a huge square tower shield!
Rein’s shield glowed with a faint light of elemental power, vibrating at a specific frequency!
The moment the colossal black flame fireball came into contact with the tower shield, it exploded with a thunderous blast!
An annular blast swept outward, and the corrosive black flames that splattered everywhere ignited upon contact!
Of course, the most deadly part was the powerful blast of the explosion, not lesser than a modern artillery shell in terms of power!
At this time, the muscles in Rein’s shield-bearing left arm had bulged, and he stood like a giant, with his armored boots digging deep furrows into the ground. The surface of the tower shield was visibly dented.
But the powerful ‘Black Flame Burst’ had been forcefully blocked by Rein!
This scene naturally had Kurban and the other five Black Flame Cultists’ eyes nearly popping out!
“How… how could it be blocked!” Kurban exclaimed.
The next second, his face twisted grotesquely as he began chanting again. “I refuse to believe you can block it again!”
