Chapter 1333: Doom of Holy Rock City (Part 1)
Eleanor had no way of consoling Saleen, so she went to gather the army . She did not control any armies, but as her status changed and came to possess the family badge of Metatrin, she no longer needed appointment to command a large army .
The flying army was none other than the bug angel army . Eleanor went to gather the bug angels and brought Qin the archer with her . They went below the Floating City and prepared to strike .
Holy Rock City was incredibly sturdy . If the Floating City were to simply drop onto it, it would have ended up with both cities being severely damaged . As such, Saleen would not have done such a thing if there was no need for it . Mobilizing the bug angel army and working in conjunction with the magic net above would have more than sufficed .
The power of the Floating City was far stronger than it had been when attacking Alchemy City . A small number of enchanters were added to replenish the losses suffered from the last several battles .
Other than the bug angel army, Saleen had Nailisi gathered her demon army, preparing to drop onto Holy Rock City and fight on the ground . What his astrology had not been able to calculate were troubles more difficult to deal with .
It was fortunate that the plane rules on Myers Mainland had not been too loose . Only one or two level 13 beings appeared at times . Even then, they were quickly suppressed to level 12 .
It was like how Fycro and Joey had both been level 10 professionals, yet both had been reluctant to haphazardly use any powerful skills . Doing so would have meant fighting against the rules of the plane .
It was not until the rules of the plane loosened that people like Joey and Fycro were able to be like fish in water . Not even one out of 10 level 10 ones who advanced possessed combat capacity to fight the likes of Joey and Fycro .
Jason was considered an exception . Every single advancement he achieved had been at a speed that Saleen was unable to comprehend .
The demon army of Nailisi was always maintained at 100,000 strong . Those demons formed the army that Nailisi painstakingly built . As long as the rule of power of demon plane loosened, the demons’ rate of advancement would become extremely fast .
For the time being, Nailisi had several hundred supreme demons under her command . Ten of them, which served as commanders in the army, had reached level 10 .
Holy See’s power might have seen a considerable spike after the rules loosened, but it was the same with Saleen’s side . Due to calculating all of that, Saleen had been reluctant to put considerably more effort in nurturing the ancient warriors . He instead made the ancient warriors into a transitory force .
The ancient warriors were unable to be replicated, and there were only tens of thousands of them . If Saleen had relied on the ancient warriors as his main force to conquer the world, he might have ended up dying of regret .
After all, the most reliable thing in the world was still his own hands . It was an idiom among warriors, and it worked more or less the same for mages . Saleen had more faith in magic than he had in soldiers .
The Floating City was completely concealed within the clouds . There was lightning and thunder in the Floating City’s cloud, but it was not as powerful as in nature . The power imbued within the lightning was very weak and could not last more than a single frame .
Despite the lightning’s weak power, any who attempted to probe the cloud using mental powers would be blocked off by the lightning . Thunder mimicked by the weapon spirit also posed a great threat to professionals below level 13 .
It was still fine probing the cloud using mental powers . In the case of beings like ghosts, they could use their soul powers to do so . They would end up being shaken to death by the weapon spirit’s thunder .
While the Floating City was enormous, no one was able to find out its true whereabouts from then on out . Nobody could simply check on any cloud they just happened to find above their heads . Lighting in nature was also very damaging to mental powers .
The Floating City came above Holy Rock City in three hours . Dark clouds gathered, hiding The Floating City . Saleen began checking what was going on below .
No one else would have dared to stay in the storm . Things were different with the Floating City . When lightning hit, it was absorbed and devoured by the magic power furnaces and converted into formidable power .
The giant’s bone crystals were the most concentrated form of earth element . Due to its vastness and thickness, the earth was capable of storing lightning . Many bolts of lightning in nature seeped into the earth .
While the Floating City were only 36 miles in diameter, the amount of earth element within was more concentrated than that of a nation spanning over a thousand miles . However, the Floating City enchanters dared not probe things below . In such a thunderstorm, only Saleen’s Eye of Lightning working in conjunction with his Element Eye was able to keep him from any harm while making observations .
Saleen peered downward and saw many fractures on the city’s body . The large-scale magic equipment at the walls was scattered everywhere . There were no soldiers to pick them up .
Sh*t!
Saleen took one look at the city’s edge and knew that Holy Rock City was doomed . The elemental storm raging at the royal palace at the city center was getting quelled, yet half of the palace was destroyed . There were dead bodies everywhere . Saleen even found an army of about 10,000-strong still holding on at the center of the palace .
The army was clad in royal swordsman garb . There were magical chariots in the army, and the mages riding them cast level 10 magic .
The royal swordsmen’s camp was surrounded by an army of hundreds of thousands . That other army was not only clad in iron armor, but there were also images of huge faces on their armor .

Abominated soldiers!
Saleen felt something was off . He searched around but was unable to find Lex . Jola, Sul, and Nicholas had not left any word behind .
Has Lex left? Who are the royal swordsmen protecting?
Saleen’s judgment told him that as long as the emperor was still alive, Lex would not give up on his brother . She wanted him to live, even if it was just for a single day more .
The army of royal swordsmen were able to take on powerful abominated soldiers, even when outnumbered . Saleen hesitated for a bit before giving an order .
“Isabella, take 20,000 bug angels with you and save the thousands of royal swordsmen down there,” he said . “Eleanor, stay put for the moment and protect Isabella . ”
Saleen did not send Eleanor to the ground . Isabella might have only been level nine, but she was trained in both magic and martial arts . Not even golden grand swordmasters would be able to ambush her .
Isabella acknowledged her orders and charged through the clouds with 20,000 bug angels . The Bug Angel Armor was specifically crafted for his own troops, giving them immunity to lightning damage . Lightning did not occur in such a concentrated manner in nature . As long as the armor worn was not made out of steel, they would not attract lightning attacks .
Isabella rode on the Wings of an Elf and descended right on top of the palace with the bug angels .
“We are reinforcements from the Kingdom of Metatrin!” Isabella shouted using voice transmission magic .
The thousands of royal swordsmen struggled to hold on . When they saw tens of thousands of bugs coming their way in the rain, they thought the bugs had been reinforcements of the enemy . The royal swordsmen’s morale rose after hearing the leading female warrior shout .
Voom…
More than 10,000 bug angels charged into the midst of the army of abominations . The abominated soldiers were unable to react in time . They were cut up by the Wind Blades generated by the bug angels’ wings .

The attack quickly swept aside thousands of abominated soldiers . The other 10,000 Bug Angel Warriors headed toward the royal swordsmen . The warriors were frightened and instinctively evaded . The Bug Angel Warriors, on the other hand, stopped right before them .
Isabella shouted, “We’ll get you people up there . Leave the fighting to us!”
The Bug Angel Warriors spread out their six legs and grabbed the soldiers from the royal swordsmen’s camp, flying up when they were done .
The abominated soldiers cut up by the Wind Blades were able to climb up again since their wounds quickly mended . Most of the troops were bisected or their heads were sent flying . They were unable to gain a whole form .
Only the troops who had complete bodies were able to grab weapons and retaliate . The Bug Angel Warriors unleashed Wind Blades again, slicing the barricade off .
The thousands of royal swordsmen watched in fright as they were taken to the air . The thunder was shocking within the clouds . All of them were at least level five professionals and elite soldiers of Holy Rock City . There were even over 1,000 grand swordmasters-to-be among them, yet all of them looked ashen in the thunderstorm .
It was not due to those soldiers having no guts . There was simply no one who was about to pass through a thunderstorm and not get frightened . Even beings as powerful as Saleen would have found it hard to compose themselves flying in an environment like that, let alone the soldiers . At the very least, Saleen would have been completely safe flying in such environments . The bug angels, on the other hand, had to depend on luck .
Their armor only ensured that they would not attract lightning . If they were to actually be coincidentally caught in the way of a lightning bolt, they would be instantly fried since there was no way their defensive parameters could resist the devastating power of natural lightning . If thunder were to happen right beside them, the shock would have reduced them to dust .
Things had gotten tricky when escorting the mages . The mages who had been riding on the magic chariots refused to be escorted in flight by the Bug Angel Warriors . Isabella was forced to leave four Wings of an Elf behind and have the level 10 mages fly with them .
Wings of an Elf was crafted using thundercloud wood . As long as they were not struck head on by lightning, the mages would be able to make it past the clouds .
One young mage still refused to get on . That mage was a level nine sorcerer and shouted at Isabella, “His Highness is still underground! Save him!”
Isabella eyed the sorcerer coldly . That sorcerer returned the stare without the slightest hint of fear .
“Follow me up there and talk to my liege . I’m not familiar with the underground, and I don’t have what it takes to save him,” Isabella said as she waved at the sorcerer .

The young sorcerer hesitated for a bit before stepping onto Isabella’s Wings of an Elf . Both were capable of flight . If they were to leave the equipment, they would not have been able to pass through the clouds .
The Bug Angel Warriors saved most of the royal swordsmen in mere moments, leaving four magic chariots and hundreds of dead bodies behind, as they made for the Floating City .
Eleanor hovered in the rain . Her Wings of an Elf was the only true incarnation . Only elves were able to man it . Lightning flashed around her, but she was not scared . She had guidance from Saleen regarding lightning rules, so she knew how to evade lightning in the rain .
She held onto Seven Nights . The rain was unable to latch onto her, forming a spherical dry area . Her elvish sight allowed her to see the ground clearly despite such a height .
There were a large number of crawling monsters on the ground, scurrying about the city . There were monsters charging into buildings at the side of the road, where either sounds of battle or shrieks were heard .
Eleanor fumed as she saw all of it, but she was unable to save anyone . There were simply too many monsters . The power of some of the monsters was probably on par with that of level nine humans . If she wanted to hunt them down, she would need to use powerful attacks . The stronger an attack, the fewer times it could have been used .
