Chapter 11 Initiation
The top of the Black Floating City.
Deep Black Dome.
Mr. Palamedes stood in the garden with a sad look on his face.
The space of the pure white city seems to freeze. Even he couldn't tear a passage to get there.
You did it anyway, Nicholas, Mr. Palamedes thought. I did something I didn't do before.
Mr. Palamedes had anticipated that Nicholas would take action. But before Nicholas's sudden preemptive strike, even he didn't guess Nicholas's real plan.
But why would you involve civilians as well?
No. If he really intends to destroy the French Power at all costs, perhaps, he will also choose to smash the Floating City directly on the head of the pure white city.
Lure the enemy's leader into one place and sweep them all down. The damage to civilians was nothing more than an "incidental" deterrent, and it could not evoke a wave in the legendary mage's heart.
It can directly attack the pure white city, which also means facing many hole cards inherited by Erios head-on.
How would you cope, Nicholas?
Even if it's a remedy. It's time to figure out something about it.
----------------
Inside the city.
It took a few minutes for the Lord of the Clouds to clear two blocks of undead soldiers. But more undead soldiers have already penetrated into the deepest parts of the city.
There was anxiety in his eyes.
That's the only way to do it......
β¦β¦
Outside the pure white city.
Nicholas watched his two opponents for a long time.
Emperor Dietford III also did not answer. In the past, he had participated in the siege of the Black Floating City with Nicholas, and Nicholas was on par with him at that time.
Where did his faith come from?
It's just a senseless provocation!
"Celestial Sphere", stabbed out.
The figure of Speaker Nicholas was instantly surrounded by hundreds of guns.
"Stupid." Nicholas shook his head.
The Emperor was only a tentative attack. With this kind of trick, you want to try out your own depth?
Speaker Nicholas's gray robe rippled with a bluish purple glow. Although Dietford III had many guns, they could not hurt him in the slightest.
Nicholas pointed with his hand.
The Lord of the Galaxy's complexion changed slightly. He waved his hand violently, and a silver curtain of light with a little starlight appeared in front of the two of them.
The light curtain shook a few times, and then shattered into countless pieces. Even if a blue ocean level mage fights, the power of the spell is earth-shattering, but Nicholas is to put it mildly, its power is more powerful than those spells that destroy the world.
The light curtain only bought a few seconds for the Lord of the Galaxy and Dietford III. They have flashed in the other direction. Dietford is already planning his next shot -
Of course, this was expected by Nicholas.
The Lord of the Galaxy has spent his life's work teaching the younger generation. His own fighting prowess is indeed not outstanding.
And Dietford III ...... In Nicholas's eyes, if he used the "true self liberation" from the beginning, then the two sides still had the strength to fight. This kind of tribulatory attack is not even able to make yourself defend yourself.
It's disappointing.
"FranΓ§ois, Dieterverd......"
There is no need to give the opponent time to play their hole cards. While they are still immersed in the illusion of testing each other, they will do their best to solve this battle once and for all.
Butβ
Rumble!
A green light suddenly rose into the sky. Nicholas showed a surprised expression, and with a dodge, the whole person retreated hundreds of meters away.
Dietford blinked. He knew who the attack was coming from.
"There's even one hidden." Speaker Nicholas narrowed his eyes.
"You're finally willing to come out." Ionia, with a goatee, said indifferently. The commander of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" has watched the battle so far, and Gu Jing Bubo's expression has finally changed at this time.
β¦β¦
Empress Lichenda held the "Blade of Calamity" in her hand, and her beautiful face was full of anger. Black magical armor had covered her body, and an eerie dark green glow swirled across the jagged blades of the Calamity Blade.
Chancellor Friedrich and the "Warver", as well as Stuart and Mr. King, who were at war, retreated at the same time.
"You are ......" Stewart recognized at a glance that this was the wife of His Majesty the Emperor, and couldn't help but be surprised.
That seemingly pitiful beauty actually forced Nicholas back off with a single blow?
Legendary Mystic Warrior?
Both husband and wife are legendary secret warriors, what a good story, why hide it? Stewart was puzzled in his heart, and people all over the continent thought that the queen was not out of the deep palace because she was sick and weak.
But Stewart immediately reacted: look at the blade that exudes an ominous aura, I am afraid that it is a legendary "cursed" secret weapon. These secret weapons have a light negative impact on the user, and sometimes they will devour the people around the user.
If that weapon had caused an unknown tragedy in the Empire, it was understandable that the Empire had chosen to cover it up.
What's more, a legendary secret warrior who is willing to hide himself can become the real hole card of the empire.
"I've heard for a long time that there are hidden legendary secret warriors in the Empire," the Lord of the Galaxy laughed, "It's really shocking to the old man, respect...... Your Excellency Queen Lichenda. β
He was a little unsure of what kind of title this queen lady liked.
"Dietford, you give me a little serious!" Empress Lichenda glared at her husband, "Nicholas is not an opponent to deal with casually!" β
"I was careless, Lichenda." Dietford III, who was holding the "Celestial Instrument" tightly, took a deep breath. Nicholas's attack may seem unremarkable, but at any point it will suddenly unleash a killing move.
On Intuition in Battle...... Lichenda has always been better than herself.
"Empress Lichenda?" Speaker Nicholas muttered.
He had long been informed that the Empire might have a hidden legendary Secret Warrior. But until now, he didn't know who it was.
Now, she's finally willing to show up.
"Ligenta." Ionia, the leader of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds", also flew towards the center of the battlefield.
"Ionia...... Mr. Lichenda's expression was complicated.
"I, the Hand of the Sea of Clouds, give you the Blade of Calamity," Mr. Ionia said in a deep voice, "I want you to be the power of the Hand of the Sea of Clouds." You've let me down, Licenta. β
"I only do what I think is right. Ionia. Lichenda said, no longer addressing each other as "sir."
Listening to the conversation between the two, several legends of the French Power who did not know the inside story had already guessed that Lichenda was a member of the "Hand of the Sea of Clouds" before joining the Empire. In the past, the nobles of the empire often complained that their queens were too lowly to come from......
"Lichenda was attacked after she gave birth," Emperor Dietford III said, "and I suspected that the Hand of the Sea of Clouds was behind it. Is that your order, Ionia? β
Speaking of the back, the emperor's voice was already like an abyss, suppressing endless anger. At that time, it was almost the same as Liqinda, Bina, and Linna......
"I, the Hand of the Sea of Clouds, never tolerate traitors." Ionia said indifferently.
Seeing that Lichenda's expression was becoming more and more gloomy, Chancellor Friedrich felt that he had to say something.
"Licenta ......"
"I'll help you when I've beheaded Old Man Ionia," Lichenda said coldly, "and drag the others down before I kill him." β
Everyone was cold.
Lichenda is serious. Dietford has absolute confidence in his lover.
After Liqinda said this, she fought alone, and there was no one in the world who she couldn't kill.
"Good!" Dietford III nodded.
β¦β¦
"Huh?" Behind the French Quan Guo side, a white-robed figure flew towards everyone.
That's the Lord of the Clouds.
"Let you protect the people, Sham!" The Lord of the Galaxy shouted.
"If we lose, the White City will fall," said Sham, Lord of the Clouds, with a determined gaze, "As long as we win, those dead spirits have nothing to fear." β
Rumble!
With a muffled sound, another white figure exploded through a certain basement in the Pure White City, soaring into the sky, and came to the legendary mages in a flash. The crowd was on guard, but ......
"It's me." The man smiled. His white robe is fluttering, and he is the "Lord of the Clouds" Sham.
The two Shams stood side by side, their expressions and movements identical, more similar than any pair of twins. Everyone could feel the arcane fluctuations on the two of them...... These "two" are clearly the same ontology.
"I also showed a little hole card." Both Shams said at the same time.
"This spell is ......"
"It's not a simulacrum. Some kind of special doppelganger? β
The legendary mages frowned and looked at the two Shams in front of them. For them, creating a clone is not an incredible spell, but using two clones to face the enemy at the same time has only one soul as the core of the spell, and their strength will become weaker.
The "living lich" transfers the entire soul into the life box, and the number of clones is not scrupulous. But...... The fact that the soul can remain alive while transforming into a necromantic creature is related to the innate nature of the soul, and not everyone can succeed.
Not to mention, in addition to saving one's life, becoming a necromantic mage does not necessarily make you stronger, but rather gives up many things that are essential to being a "human".
Sham apparently didn't turn himself into a lich.
"My two doppelgangers can use different spells at the same time," the Lord of the Clouds said gently, "and both doppelgangers are as strong as the main body. In other words, both bodies are ontology. β
"I know you've got something in the shadows," Stewart said, "and it's your original spell?" β
"It's what I gained in the ruins, when I went out to explore one body, this body always stayed in the secret place to cultivate," said the Lord of Yunyong, "I originally wanted one clone to clean up the necromancers, and the other to help you meet the enemy, but now I have changed my mind." We have the advantage in numbers, and we have to gather our forces together to win. β
Everyone nodded. With the addition of the two bodies of the Lord of the Cloud Wing and Liqinda, the battle will evolve into seven to four. Even if Nicholas is strong enough to be one-to-three, his side still has the advantage.
"Sham, you divide a body to awaken 'it,'" the Lord of the Galaxy said suddenly, "and the others cover me. I'm going to activate the final defensive spell for the Pure White City...... We can't hold any more strings. β
