Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 129 Formation - Light of the Sky
In a short time, all the mages he had targeted were killed, and they all died from the light magic of the angels.

Then the sea suddenly began to boil, producing purple foam.

Accompanied by a "glug-glug" sound, dozens of smaller Void Worms emerged from underwater.

They resemble a hybrid of starfish and centipede, their bodies covered with suckers and spikes, eagerly pouncing on the still-warm corpses.

These monsters don't bite; instead, they use their abdomens to create a gaping maw, slowly enveloping the victim inside. It's clearly visible that within their translucent bodies, the victim's flesh is being broken down and digested by countless tiny tentacles.
The Holy Shadow Angel, still engaged in battle, witnessed all of this. His golden pupils trembled violently, and an unprecedented look of despair appeared in his eyes.

The once magnificent wings are now tattered and broken.

Then a huge spatial rift suddenly opened up behind him, and another, even larger void worm pounced out from the void, its barbed tentacles instantly wrapping around his limbs.

The Holy Shadow Angel tried to struggle, but found that the power within her body was sealed.

The last thing he saw was that enormous mouth covered with spiraling, sharp teeth.

“Gudong——”

With a chilling swallowing sound, the last Holy Shadow Angel was also completely devoured by the Void Worm. Floating on the sea were only a few blood-stained feathers of light and a few tattered mage robes.

This elite squad, consisting of several high-level mages and two holy shadow angels, was completely wiped out.

There were no heroic sacrifices, no fierce resistance, only one-sided slaughter and devouring.
-
holy city.

Beneath the crystal dome, a projection slowly swirls in the holy light.

Archangel Remiel stood before the mirror of holy light, his golden pupils watching the tragedy unfolding along the Mediterranean coast.

The image of the last Holy Shadow Angel being devoured by the Void Worm in the mirror screen froze the air in the entire council hall to a freezing point.

"The reconnaissance team led by the two Holy Shadows has been completely wiped out," Remiel said grimly.

It turns out that the Holy City had used a secret detection technique to witness the entire battle.

The small team they sent out was meant to gather information, but they only saw a tiny bit of the enemy's power before they were all killed and devoured.

His finger then traced across the mirror screen, the image freezing on the two "Sacred Shadow Angels" undergoing metamorphosis. "These insects seem capable of devouring living beings to enhance their own power and acquire the abilities of those beings."

Uriel emerged from the shadows. "Their fundamental power must be that purple spatial power."

“Whatever it is!” said the Archangel Far. “I am confident I can kill them.”

“You can handle two, but we don’t know how many of these worms there are on the seabed, so we can’t attack rashly,” Uriel said.

"Build the celestial light of long-range strikes." Remiel's voice echoed in the temple, holy light illuminating his cold face.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire temple fell into a brief silence.

Uriel nodded slightly: "At present, this is the most suitable method."

His voice was soft, yet clearly audible in the silent temple, "These strange insects are far too bizarre in nature; the risks of close combat are far greater than anticipated."

"The Azure Sky Array requires at least five forbidden spellcasters as its core, twenty high-ranking priests to guide the energy flow, and an archangel to personally oversee the array."

Remiel said, "I'll do it. Get ready immediately."

"If activated at full power, a single strike could evaporate an entire sea area."

Although the attack of the Light of the Sky will render that area barren for a long time, affecting its geology and making it unsuitable for life.

However, if these unknown insects are not eliminated, they will become even more dangerous.

Following Remiel's order, the entire holy city went into a state of war preparedness.

The sacred bell tolled, and several beams of light shot into the sky from various parts of the holy city. The imperial guards within the holy city began to sound the alarm; they were preparing to construct the [Array - Light of the Sky].

At the Apocalypse Square in the Holy City.

Hundreds of clergymen dressed in white robes moved swiftly through the square, holding crystal artifacts that shone with holy light, precisely outlining intricate patterns on the ground.

High priests stood at the key points, chanting ancient incantations. Their voices condensed into golden runes in the air, slowly falling into the array base.

Some mages ran back and forth carrying holy crystals, each crystal being carefully placed in its designated location.

Remiel stood on the central platform and kept issuing commands.

Then five towering crystal pillars, each a hundred meters tall, slowly rose from the ground, each engraved with flowing runes.

These runes are not inanimate objects, but rather move across the surface of the pillar like living snakes.

The crystal ball at the top of the stone pillar needs to be controlled by Remiel himself.

"Everyone, return to your positions."

Remiel's voice echoed across the square.

Five forbidden spellcasters approached from different directions and each stood at one of the five apex of the pentagram.

The patterns on the ground began to flow, and a deep blue light spread along the intricate lines, eventually converging into a complete pentagram pattern.

Wherever the array patterns passed, the air underwent subtle distortions.

"Magical energy connection complete, core resonance established, you may begin."

Remiel stood in the center of the formation, his twelve wings of light fully unfurled.

He slowly raised his hands, palms facing upwards, and a miniature phantom of the Holy City appeared in his hands—this was the ultimate control core of the Sky Array.

"In the name of the Holy Light."

His voice wasn't loud, but it sent tremors through the entire holy city.

"Light of the heavens—descend!"

In an instant, the five sacred crystal pillars simultaneously emitted dazzling light, and the power of the five forbidden spell masters was drawn by the formation, transforming into five streams of light of different colors, which converged in the center.

The deep blue of the array patterns turned into a blazing white, illuminating the entire square as if it were daytime.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color.

A dazzling beam of light erupted from the center of the holy city, its blinding white light turning the entire sky a deep blue-green.

The moment the beam of light pierced through the clouds, the thick sea of ​​clouds was easily pierced like a fragile sheet of paper, forming a huge ring-shaped hole.

The terrifying energy fluctuations caused the air to tremble, and the distant mountains groaned under the immense pressure.

This torrent of light, imbued with destructive power, ripped through the sky at a speed exceeding that of lightning, utterly destroying the spatial structure in its path and leaving behind twisted, pitch-black cracks.

Along the path, birds were vaporized before they even got close, and the clouds were scattered into fluffy water mist by the aftershocks.

Far off the edge of the Mediterranean, the seawater has begun to boil and evaporate abnormally, forming a white wall of fog that blots out the sun.

This beam of light, representing the highest punishment of the Holy City, is descending with unstoppable force towards the terrifying Void Insectoids.
