Chapter 355 Divine Punishment
"Here they come again, I don't know why."
Looking up with some worry, several leading mages discussed and decided to camp in this large underground hall and wait for rescue.
On the way here, they have left special secret marks. As long as a student reaches a certain distance nearby, their Pamir identity card will automatically read the message in the mark and send a wave reminder.
In this way, the remaining living students can be gathered to the maximum extent.
After the students led by Anvis returned to the team, the total number of students gathered together has exceeded 93% of the total number.
And those students with the most distinguished status have all gathered here, waiting for the empire to mobilize the ninth-level strongmen for rescue, and then they can quickly lead all the students to evacuate.
But until now, he still can't get in touch with the high-level college in the outside world.
What happened in the outside world? Could it be that even the ninth-level His Majesties can't shake the protective shield of the ruins?
Was the previous vibration caused by the attack of the His Majesties?
What should be done?
While the leader mage was secretly worried, many students were still optimistic.
Because they didn't know the situation very well, in the minds of most students, given their importance, the empire would never give up on them, and it was only a matter of time before rescue arrived.
However, what they didn't know was that it was precisely because they were too important that the other two empires also set their sights on them.
If one thing went wrong, including several leader mages, everyone's chance of survival would be the same.
For ninth-level professionals, if any rule spell was cast, everyone present would understand what equality meant...
Oh - except for the royal family and the descendants of several other nobles, and several children of destiny, everyone else was equal.
However, a small number of people who had received enough information and could really see the situation clearly remained silent.
Telling these students the truth would not only not help the situation, but would easily cause large-scale panic. It would be better to let them maintain their naive and optimistic mentality.
Sitting casually on one side of the hall, Avis did not choose to enter the portable alchemy house, but simply sat on a protruding rock, sensing the situation on his clone's side from a distance.
This place seemed to be an underground square in ancient times, part of the living area. The top of the square simulated natural light with magic, and the space was greatly expanded to accommodate thousands of people.
Fiona sat beside him, holding a kitten in her arms, looking at the many students present with some worry.
As a member of Olivendi, she was also aware of the current situation, and Avis did not hide anything from her.
"Brother, will we be in danger?"
Pulling Avis's hand with some uneasiness, Fiona looked at Avis with her big lake blue eyes, like some insecure little animal.
"Don't worry, Fei, our situation is not particularly dangerous."
Shaking his head gently, Avis comforted her with a calm expression. The calmness in his tone made the girl's emotions calm unconsciously.
"At present, the ruins are protected by a protective shield. This prevents my father from coming to rescue us, but it also prevents the enemy from entering here.
Once the shield is destroyed, my father will definitely teleport here as soon as possible and lead us away..."
"So, what if the enemy directly destroys the entire part of the ruins where we are with a super-strong attack?"
However, as soon as Avis finished speaking, someone nearby suddenly interrupted.
Both the brother and sister turned their heads and found that the person who came was Xilin from the Itel family.
Although she knew that the current situation was very dangerous, she didn't seem to care on the surface.
"That's impossible, please don't make some exaggerated assumptions at will, Miss Xilin."
Avis shook his head and gently pinched Fiona's little hand wrapped in lace gloves to calm her down again.
"This relic can block the ninth level for so long. Even if the outer protective shield is cracked, the interior will never be defenseless when facing attacks. As long as you wait patiently, you will definitely be rescued-"
"Hehe... Do you really think so? Lord Avis?"
Hillin smiled with her mouth covered, her silver eyes staring at Avis's face, and suddenly changed the subject.
"You have a good secret method of clones, but I don't know... Is the you standing in front of me now the real body or the clone?"
"Of course it's the real body."
Glancing at the silver-eyed girl with a fox-like smile, Avis's expression did not change.
"Also, I believe in the Empire, what about you, Miss Hillin?"
Boom--
At this time, the entire relic hall trembled again, and the trembling amplitude was obviously stronger than the previous two times.
The light on the top of the hall suddenly dimmed at this moment, and after flickering violently for several times, it stabilized again.
Avis: ...
Hillin: ...
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Hillin felt Avis's flawless aura, and suddenly she was a little unsure of his true situation.
"...Okay, Mr. Avis, I hope to borrow your good words."
After looking at him deeply, Hillin walked away slowly.
.
….….
At this moment, on the surface of the ruins sea, the people of the three major forces have entered a state of tension.
The cause of everything originated from the second arrival of the Church.
After seeing the current situation clearly, [Holy Judge] Jorgson said nothing and directly activated a divine punishment crystal with the center of the ruins shield as the target.
Unlike the extreme penetrating destructive power of dimensional cutting, the effect of divine punishment is to assimilate everything at the point of impact into pure light.
It was recorded in the Holy Scripture that 'God sent the angel of judgment to the earth, and that angel held the holy spear of light to purify the darkness of the world.'
Using holy light to purify all filth in the world is quite in line with the concept of the Holy Light Church.
At the point of impact, a starlight suddenly lit up, and then quickly spread, assimilating everything into a world of pure light. A faint holy sound lingered in the air, just like the place where the gods descended as recorded in the myth.
The entire ruins trembled violently, and the incomparably amazing magic power overflowed from the depths of the ruins, madness and the power of divine punishment were consumed.
When all the glory faded, the ruins appeared as if bitten by some giant creature, with a huge semicircular gap.
But right in front of everyone, a large number of dark blue magic crystals suddenly grew out of the gap. They were like flesh and blood tissue growing out of a wound, reconstructing the city structure at an astonishing speed.
"Do you really want to start a war now, Jorgson?!"
For Jorgson's sudden attack, everyone on the Empire side was immediately furious.
