Saladin Empire. Karen City.
In the center of the dark forest, there was a white city standing quietly. The people and carriages on the streets looked like ants. There were also humongous flying mounts leaving the parking lot. The flying mounts all had white wooden ships attached to their backs.
*CHI*
A ray of red light suddenly appeared in the sky, then floated above the city, revealing a man in a purple robe inside.
Angele overlooked the city, and the flying mounts caught his attention.
The flying mounts were pulling large airships like horses pulling carriages. The closest airship was around 100 meters away from him and he could see the passengers in luxurious outfits. The passengers were looking at Angele, surprised.
Angele looked at the airship and the passengers started screaming.
"No energy movement at all… The flying mounts are the only thing doing the work. Not bad."
*CHI CHI*
Two rays of green light left the Karen City and flew to Angele.
The two stopped in front of Angele. They were a male and a female.
"We apologize that we didn't know you would visit the city, Master," the man opened his mouth. "My name is Ning. I'm a wizard that guards this city. May I ask what your name is?"
Angele sight fell upon the man.
The man, who had messy red hair, was wearing golden armor. The armor was a bit loose and there was a wine bottle in his hand. The man looked like a drunkard, but there was a serious expression on his face.
Angele did not respond. He looked at the other person.
She was a slim green-haired woman with sharp ears, wearing tight leather armor. It almost looked like the woman was a hunter in the forest.
The woman opened her mouth as well after she noticed that Angele was looking at her.
"My name is Terran. I'm a wizard from the Sea Elf Alliance. I assume you're the wizard who just returned to the Andes Alliance."
The woman's brow furrowed. She checked the red light around Angele's body and noticed how high the temperature was. Her expression quickly changed.
Angele smiled.
"You're correct. I'm the wizard who'd just returned to the Andes Alliance. I was born in the Rudin Empire. I'm here because I want to discuss the problem with my family's territory with you."
"Family territory?" The two wizards had a bad feeling about this.
Angele continued, "I'm from the Rio Family and we want to start a country in our hometown. I'm here to reclaim my territory since the Rudin Empire is under Saladin's control."
"I understand what you're talking about. It's a large territory, so you must pay us." The female elf's brow furrowed.
"No, I'm not here to trade with you. I'm just here to inform you about my plan. I'll reclaim my territory and my plans won't change." The smile disappeared from Angele's face.
The two wizards were surprised—they finally understood Angele's intentions. They looked at Angele like looking at a fool.
"Master… Are you sure you're alright?" The male wizard pointed at his own head and mocked.
He took out a golden dagger surrounded by three red light balls.
Angele did not want to waste time. He pointed at the two wizards and released two rays of red light.
The red light turned into two red lion heads in the air, and their temperature was increasing rapidly.
The red lion head broke through the male wizard's barriers without any problem and destroyed a red shadow released by him
*CHI*
The lion head landed on Ning's body.
*WOO*
The lion head exploded. The battle ended in a second. Ning was turned into a ball of blames and his body was burnt to ashes.
The other lion head was blocked by the female elf's golden rope; the lion head was having trouble moving forward.
The golden rope started turning black quickly; it seemed like it could break at any time.
The female wizard was surprised that Ning was killed within seconds. She turned around and started flying to the Gem Sea. She rolled in the air and turned into a blue snake with wings.
The woman traveled several hundred meters in the air within seconds, but Angele pointed at the woman, releasing another red ray, and the woman was slowed down. She was caught up with by the red ray, and the red light wrapped around the woman without hurting her.
"A rank 1 wizard. How arrogant can you be?" Angele barely did anything during the battle. He flew to the female elf quickly.
"What are you going to do?!" the female elf shouted. "Do you know who my teacher is? A merfolk wizard named Blue Moon. If she figures out what you just did, she'll…"
"Do you really think I'll be concerned?" Angele shook his head. "You survived my attack because of that strange golden robe."
Angele looked at the golden rope. The golden rope was still blocking the lion head.
He raised his hand, and the red lion head returned to his body. The golden rope was almost burnt black and Angele moved it to him using energy particles.
"What's this?"
The female wizard did not want to answer, but she quickly responded after the red light around her body became intense. "The light of sight! That's the light of sight from the legendary sea beast Gran!"
"Light of sight?" Angele was interested.
"Yeah… Gran was a legendary beast from the merfolk tales. They say that Gran had a pair of special eyes that could release energy waves. Gran would stare at its enemies and its targets would be attacked by the energy waves. Someone collected these energy waves and made them into magic devices. This one was built by my teacher, it's just a magic item…" The wizard stopped for a second and continued, "We use it to bind enemies. This golden rope is relatively weak…"
Angele played with the golden rope with his fingers.
"A legendary sea beast…"
The people in Karen City all witnessed the battle. They saw that one of their wizards was killed and the other one captured. Everyone in the city started panicking.
Teams of city guards moved out of the city and quickly entered a certain formation. They put up silver shields and the archers all aimed at Angele with their bows. Angele could hear the noise made by the bowstrings.
The King of Saladin put on a golden armor and left his palace quickly, protected by many Grand Knights. He was looking at the sky. The King waved his hands and calmed the soldiers down. He asked his generals about the situation—it seemed like he was trying to figure out a plan.
Angele lowered his head and saw a sea of silver shields. He was not concerned at all. Raising his right hand, he pointed at the shields.
*BAM*
A large palm was created by the red light he released. The temperature of the palm was extremely high; it quickly landed on the shields.
The palm slapped the shields like slapping tofu. The shields and the soldiers under the shields were crushed by the palm, turned into a mixture of metal and flesh.
The buildings touched by the palm were also destroyed. The dust was splashing in the air and the soldiers were shouting in fear.
The people in Karen City were all trying to escape through the gate. The nobles and the peasants were all running like crazy. Many people were killed during the chaos. The nice-looking city almost turned into hell.
The female elf was terrified. Angele's one strike easily killed two knights and thousands of elite soldiers. The elf could not believe what'd just happened and she could barely think at the moment.
The King and his generals were also surprised. However, he still drew his sword and tried to calm down the soldiers. The King looked at the purple shadow in the sky; he had no idea why the man attacked them without saying a world.
Karen City was the center of Saladin and there were many merfolk wizards around.
The soldiers were also terrified and confused at the same time.
*CHI*
An arrow finally flew to Angele, which sent a signal to other archers. Thousands of dark metal arrows were fired by the siege crossbows, all flying to the invader in the sky.
The sea of arrows almost blocked the sunlight.
The arrows landed on the purple shadow in the sky without any problem and made a loud noise as arrows hit each other.
Strangely, none of the arrows was falling. They gathered together and turned into a humongous ball of arrows.
Seconds later, the arrows started heating and turning red. There was white smoke rising from the surface of the arrow ball.
The arrow ball was turning redder and redder. It was melting and there was liquid dropping to the ground. The arrow ball cracked and revealed the man in the center.
Angele stood in the center of the ball and waved his right hand.
Some metal liquid spurted out of the arrow ball and started falling to the city.
The people in the city saw the scene and started screaming in fear. However, the gate was so small that people were having trouble passing through it.
*BAM BAM BAM BAM*
The metal liquid landed on the corners of the city and the temperature in the city was increased to an unbelievable level. Following the metal liquid, several metal balls landed in the city. Countless people were killed and many buildings were burnt.
The whole city turned red.
