Being in the same party, Death Jesus and Leon learned the news of White Eyes's demise at once. Without sparing time for thought, both of them broke off away from the Demon Faction's controlled sector to the east, with one flapping his Demonic Wings and the other casting Flight to intercept Majestic Hero as he dove down.
Having been warned by White Eyes, the pair naturally would not dare to send one out alone to fight Majestic Hero: it was safer to fight as a duo before they understood what that bizarre AoE spell was!
But it was then that Majestic Hero's reinforcements rushed to the scene!
Black Rock, Apocalypse—two newly promoted Tier 5 Champions made a beeline for Leon, Death Jesus and Majestic Hero, clearly about to join the battle!
"Shit!"
Death Jesus furrowed his brow tightly...
He had indeed received news that the battle to the north was over, but he never imagined that those two bastards would arrive so quickly!
And if they were here, what about that guy?
His heart tightening, Death Jesus felt the pressure.
"Leon, I'm leaving those two to you! Hurry and get it over with!"
'The audacity... '
Even with the tremendous responsibility, Leon nodded despite himself.
"You be careful!"
In the air, Leon's flight path turned at once toward Black Rock and Apocalypse, just as a white cloud-shaped object appeared beside him...
"Careful, that's an Aerobeast—capable of shifting to any form and sizes or turn into any objects. Its attacks are diverse and not easily countered!" Majestic Hero knew at a single glance the identity of the mysterious Demon Faction monster, and hurriedly warned the others on their voice channel.
"Aerobeast?"
Just when Black Rock and Apocalypse got the news, they saw the cloud swiftly transfiguring into an object resembling Angelic Wings that latched on to Leon the Aeromancer's body, flapping and pulling him beyond thirty meters above the ramparts...
"..."
The pair was promptly dumbstruck!
Was that a joke? That works too?!
A Demon Faction player's pet had actually transfigured into Angelic Wings and was flight-capable as well... ridiculous!
"Damn it! I would get it if it turned into Demonic Wings... Why would it be Angelic Wings?!"
Black Rock rolled his eyes, and Apocalypse was equally speechless: the Mythical Continent certainly did not lack in wonders, with Majestic Hero's pet being a cute Pigasus, while the pet in front of them could turn into a pair of Angelic Wings...
That was when Qin Ruo's voice spoke into their ears.
"Angelic Wings are Angelic Wings. Just beat it off him! But be careful of his Tier 5 AoE attack spells—he's an Aeromancer who can also escape with Float and Flight."
The pair's eyes twinkled. They then looked at each other and laughed.
"Him, running away alone? And have you ever heard of a Teramancer falling to death?"
"Heh. And I'm an Aeromancer..."
"Go! Make him die!"
Both of them smiled deviously, rubbing their palms as they charged toward Leon.
***
Meanwhile, his brow tightened, Death Jesus faced off against Majestic Hero—even if he was cautious about his self-invented spell that dispatched White Eyes so swiftly, he simply could not allow Majestic Hero to reach the ramparts!
If he charged that spell from the rear, the Demon Faction players probably would not be able to cast their own...
All he could do was delay Majestic Hero as much as possible...
Indeed!
If Majestic Hero invented that spell himself, it meant that he could not instantly cast it with a magic scroll, and Death Jesus would therefore stand a chance! However, with his Pet having fallen to its death, it meant he could not protect himself in the air—after entrusting two Aeromancers in his faction to catch him if he should for, he gritted his teeth and faced Majestic Hero.
'We shall die together if you dare to use that skill!'
***
The battle between five champions ignited in the skies above the eastern ramparts!
But unexpectedly, it was the trio from the Angel Faction that was disadvantaged.
On one side, having been entrusted with high hopes from Death Jesus, Leon composedly stood off against Black Rock, Apocalypse, and their devious smiles, making them fully understand that their deviousness was not the most devious there was!
In the instant they ascended fifty meters into the air, Leon shamelessly drew out a Magic Scroll—the move that would at once leave everyone standing on tip-toes in the skies.
While Black Rock and Apocalypse pondered how they should kill Leon's Pet, they cursed inwardly and were utterly irritated once they saw that move. Even so, they did not delay drawing out their own Magic Scrolls...
Three Tier 5 AoE attack spells burst out in a second, one after another!
Boom!!!
In the heaven shattering collision, every Angelic Wing was dispelled!
"Float!"
"Float!" (A spell that only grants vertical movement)
In the second the shockwave passed, Leon and Apocalypse quickly used another scroll to keep their bodies afloat, and then turned toward the third person...
Shock!
Awe!
The pair's reaction was distinctly different...
Black Rock the Teramancer had steadied himself as well—he was standing over an earthen-yellow vortex-shaped object, while he yelled at Leon above.
"You fool! Want to do me in with that? No way!"
"..."
Leon was at once speechless. He had intended to quickly get rid of the Teramancer with the Tier 5 AoE attack spell, but he did not expect the fellow's considerable ability—he had actually learned Repulsion Field.
"But you still have to die."
With a cool smile, Leon quickly drew out a second Magic Scroll...
"Sun!"
Black Rock's expression turned drastically. How many AoE attack magic scrolls did that bastard bring with him? He only brought only one 'Repulsion Field' scroll!
In no time at all, Tier 5 AoE Attack Spells collided most intimately in the night sky again!
As if malfunctioning elevators, they fell another dozens of meters...
This time, however, Black Rock dropped in a straight line down below, toward countless Demon Faction players.
***
"Good job!"
Noticing the developments on Leon's side, Death Jesus was at once delighted and thrilled—if Leon could quickly get rid of those two and they combined force, what could Majestic Hero do?
"Premature celebration..."
In that very moment, Majestic Hero suddenly said something unusual opposite him.
Meanwhile, having following behind his master but not joining the fight, the Pigasus suddenly accelerated, charging inside Death Jesus's attack range.
Gaping its maw, the Pigasus shot out a golden luminous sphere!
"!!!"
Once he saw that familiar golden ball of light, Death Jesus promptly remembered the spell of a priest he just encountered and inhaled sharply...
Shit!
"A Light-type Pet?!"
Elemental Wave!
Golden radiance quaked...
"Black Sun Apocalypse!"
The Shadow-type Tier 5 AoE Attack Spell blasted away profoundly in the very second his barrier was broken apart by the Elemental Wave!
In the very last second, Death Jesus could only evade a swift death with that move. Though he would not die by taking the brunt of one single AoE attack spell after his barrier collapsed, there was a great chance he was swiftly dispatched by Majestic Hero if he did not do that!
Thick black light blanketed heaven and earth...
Death Jesus vanished at once from Majestic Hero's view. His senses ruined as well, he had to clash head-on with Death Jesus by using another Tier 5 AoE attack spell.
But Majestic Hero knew.
Death Jesus's death was sealed! Qin Ruo, having been watching keenly at a corner, would never allow Death Jesus to land safely when he had lost Elemental Perception and Defense Magic protection...
No way!
Whoosh!
Escaping the shockwave of the Tier 5 AoE spell with his Thunder Barrier, Pigasus's body shone...
Amidst dazzling light, the cute little pig turned into an androgynous angel with an inscrutable face. Stretching its wings gently, it wrapped its arms around Majestic Hero after he lost his Angelic Wings, holding him steadily in the air!
Exceptionally blinding!
Death Jesus no longer had the ability to protect himself...
But he sighed discreetly and unconcernedly. There were two Aeromancers who would protect him below, and so he poured his entire focus on Majestic Hero. With his back to his enemy as he fell, he kept watch of his foe who had struck him down from the skies, his mind unsettled.
It was until he watched the dazzling angel remained high above while he fell further away from them that Death Angel felt some comfort... and did not unroll the magic scroll in is hand.
"Phew..."
Breathing out, Death Jesus's mind finally relaxed amidst his fall, completely entrusting his fate to the two Tier 5 Aeromancers from his own clan below ground.
However!
In that very moment, there was an inaudible sound of something streaking through the air beside his ear...
Death Jesus's relaxed spirit at once tightened again, his eyes widening!
The Veteran Champion's reflexes were at once shown as the Magic Scroll in his hand was swiftly unrolled.
But it was too late!
The scroll that Death Jesus used was not an AoE attack spell, but a unit-targeting multiple attack spell... which he prepared to take himself out with Majestic Hero.
Unable to find his enemy, he certainly could not cast a spell...
The winds roared past, but Death Jesus could only see a familiar little beast with golden fur darting into his face!
Before he fainted, a voice that left Death Jesus absolutely horrified echoed beside his ears...
"Lycan Barrage!"
***
Below, two Aeromancers who were prepared to catch Death Jesus with Windramparts could only see a golden flash and his body being struck consecutively by a giant hammer and convulsed distinctly. Then, as if a meteor, his corpse penetrated their Windramparts, crashing down into the crowd below.
It was also then that countless Demon Faction players down there saw Qin Ruo's falling body, exposed from using his magic scroll...
That was when a pair of Angelic Wings stretched out in the night sky, catching Qin Ruo's falling body.
