Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 288 Sealing off the Holy City, Launching a Full-Scale Encirclement and Suppression of Kog'Gath
Facing Vel'Koz's attack that seemed to pierce the heavens and earth.

Before the rays even arrived, the terrifying pressure had already descended!
In the area locked by the ray trajectory, the light was strangely distorted and deflected, as if space itself was being forcibly "ironed" by an invisible force!
"Watch out!" Uriel warned!

Remiel had just suffered from Cho'Gath's Void Spike and previous injuries, and his aura had not yet calmed down.

However, faced with this attack, he could only desperately defend himself!
Om-!
He gathered his divine power, and a golden shield rose up.

Pfft——!
Remiel groaned, golden blood spilling from the corner of his mouth again, and the ground beneath his feet cracking inch by inch!
He barely managed to block the main body of the ray, but the terrifying shockwave still penetrated part of his defenses and pierced his mind!
Michael chose the most direct approach—offense as defense!
"The flames of judgment, burn away all falsehood!" Michael's body was enveloped in platinum flames that soared into the sky.

Instead of retreating, he went against the current, his holy sword slashing fiercely at the incoming purple crystal pillar!

Boom! ...
The platinum flames and the deep purple rays collided fiercely!
Michael's holy flames possessed extremely strong purifying and destructive properties, and actually burned a section of the tip of that ray!
But Vel'Koz's Void power was equally terrifying. Michael felt a cold, corrosive force backflowing along the sword, attempting to invade his divine body!

He gritted his teeth and withstood the impact, but the powerful recoil made his blood boil and his sword-wielding arm felt like it was being torn apart.

And the Holy City currently has only one sixteen-winged Seraphim, Uriel!

His response was the most composed.

With both hands pushed forward, a golden beam of light was generated, which countered the purple beam!
Uriel did not retreat!

However, Velcz's attacks are never purely physical or energetic!
The moment the three rays collided with the three archangels, a cold, vast spiritual torrent silently invaded the depths of their consciousness!

Remiel and Michael both groaned simultaneously, their bodies swaying violently, their faces turning extremely pale.

Although, with their willpower, this mental erosion was only a momentary lapse.

But in a life-or-death struggle against a ferocious beast like Kog'Maw, that momentary opening could be fatal!
Kog'Maw seized the opportunity, and his six Void Claws, accompanied by a shrill scream that tore through space, lashed out violently once more, aiming straight for the vital points of the two men at this critical moment!
"Hmph! You wicked eye are watching, don't even think about being presumptuous!"

Uriel's voice rang out!
He stood in front of the two, blocking Cho'Gath's Void Claw.

His gaze then fell upon the ancient land beneath his feet, a land that bore witness to countless faiths and sacred things—the Holy City itself!
He slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, palm facing upward, making a gesture as if he were about to lift up the whole world!
The instant he raised his hand!

Rumble, rumble, rumble—!!!
The entire holy city seemed to have been completely awakened from its ancient slumber!
A thunderous roar came from the depths of the earth!
This roar was not destructive, but rather the forced activation, convergence, and resonance of some enormous energy!
The Radiant Council Hall, the Angelic Cathedral, the Eternal Obelisk, the Holy Light Fountain… all the core sacred buildings of the Holy City, regardless of size or style, had their ancient runes inscribed on their surfaces simultaneously illuminated at this moment!
These forces converged under the command of Uriel, the highest guardian of the holy city and the sixteen-winged archangel!

A shocking scene unfolded:
Centered on Uriel's palm, a miniature, three-dimensional projection of the holy city, composed of pure light, is rapidly taking shape!

This is not an illusion, but a physical reflection of the divine power mobilized throughout the entire holy city at this moment, under the power of the angel Uriel!

"Holy Light Barrier, protect our land!"

As he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his right hand, which was outstretched, and then closed his five fingers as if he were holding the entire miniature holy city in his palm!
Buzz—!!!

A massive barrier of holy light, cast in platinum, rose into the sky, centered on the Radiant Council Hall, and enveloped the entire core area of ​​the Holy City!

This barrier was no longer a semi-transparent light screen; it far surpassed any previous defense, radiating an indestructible and impervious aura of eternity! This holy light barrier was formed immediately after it took shape!
"laugh--!"

Velcz's third ray, which had not yet completely dissipated, slammed into the barrier!
This time, it sparked a dazzling display of platinum sparks!

The Void Eye's next attack was intercepted!
At the same time, the entire holy city was "wrapped up".

Uriel used his immense power to activate the entire Holy City's resources, temporarily isolating Vek's "gaze" and the energy support from the external void.

Furthermore, on a spiritual level, it isolated itself from the oppressive force originating from the Eye of the Sky.

"The barrier is in place! External evils are temporarily blocked!"

"Concentrate our forces and eliminate this scoundrel first!"

They had their sights firmly set on Kogas, who was still a menacing figure inside the city but had lost his reinforcements!

Uriel's words are the highest command, the rallying cry!
"Roar—Awooo!!!"

The golden dragon's massive body suddenly shuddered, its mouth opened wide, and the blazing dragon breath that had been brewing deep in its throat burst forth towards Kog'Maw's body!

Following closely behind the golden dragon were those divine judges!
Several chains formed from holy light appeared out of thin air, coiling like serpents around Cho'Gath's six waving void claws and giant feet that were trying to move!

"By the thunder of judgment, punish them!"

Thick, golden thunderclouds, carrying the might of heaven, rained down like a torrential downpour, their target aimed directly at Cho'Gath's massive body!
Meanwhile, in every corner of the battlefield, all the mages belonging to the Holy City...

At this moment, everyone has abandoned their fear!
They poured out their spiritual power and magic without reservation!

The sky was filled with colorful magical light!

A blazing storm of flames, a chilling ice spear, a condensed holy arrow...

A massive torrent of magic, formed by hundreds and thousands of mages, poured down upon Cho'Gath!

Faced with this all-round, all-encompassing, saturation attack, Kog'Maw now truly understood what it meant to be "unable to hold out alone"!
"Roar--!!!"

Kog'Maw let out a deafening roar, its massive body becoming a huge sitting duck!
The isolation provided by the power of the void is fatal!
Without the continuous infusion of void energy from the rift in the sky, and without the direct blessing of Empress Bervis's will, its ability to rapidly recover and strengthen itself through devouring was severely suppressed!

The cracks that appeared on the carapace could no longer be repaired by void energy as quickly as before.

The golden dragon's blazing sun breath fiercely pounded against its relatively fragile abdominal carapace, producing a piercing burning sound!
Each bombardment blasted open large plumes of purplish-black carapace fragments and smoke.

It caused its massive body to tremble continuously!
