Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 292 The Lingering Shadow of the Sky, the Alluring Sound from the Void

"gone……"

Someone, with a dry, hoarse voice, uttered those two words in a low voice.

The suffocating silence and despair that enveloped the holy city was broken by this faint sound.

Then came countless suppressed gasps and coughs, followed by muffled thuds as bodies collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

The six archangels, including Uriel and Michael, though their divine radiance remained undiminished, could not conceal the heaviness in their hearts.

They were driven to the heart of the holy city by demons!
The six archangels join forces!
The guardian beast has fallen!
In the end... the other party, along with Cho'Gath, tore through space and calmly departed!
This is an unprecedented disgrace since the founding of the Holy City!
But Uriel knew he couldn't collapse!

He is the current supreme leader of the Holy City and an inextinguishable beacon in the hearts of millions of believers!

At this moment, what the Holy City needs is not an outpouring of anger, but... a spark of hope, even if that spark flickers uncertainly in the cold wind.

He took a deep breath; the air seemed to still carry the chill and bloody smell of the void.

With a sudden flap of his sixteen wings of light, he slowly rose into the air until he stood at the highest point of the entire holy city, like a war god who was scarred but still unyielding.

His voice pierced through the cries of agony, resounding in the ears of every survivor:

"The threat of the void is so strange and powerful that it has exceeded our imagination! Today's battle is not because our Holy City is weak, nor because light is no match for darkness!"

His voice carried an undeniable authority, forcefully suppressing all unease and fear:
"This fiend relies on that unpredictable and elusive spatial authority and corrosive power. Taking advantage of my holy city's unpreparedness, it exploited the gaps in the laws, allowing it to act so violently for a time! This is the evil path!"

He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the faces below, faces still shaken, filled with fear and confusion, and his voice suddenly rose:

"However, how can the human soul and the mage's will succumb to demons?! How can the foundation of the Holy City and the will of light be desecrated?!"

"The Holy City will remember this humiliation! This hatred will be avenged in blood! Next time, when this Void Beast dares to set foot on the Land of Holy Light again..."

Uriel's voice carried a hint of spiritual resonance, as if to etch this belief into the will of everyone: "The entire Holy City will spare no effort to forge an unparalleled divine punishment, and will surely slay him beneath the Holy Throne, annihilating his soul and spirit!"

Regardless of whether this vow can be fulfilled, Uriel must be that unyielding banner at this moment!

Angels are symbols of the holy city and manifestations of faith!

They must ignite the first glimmer of light in this abyss of despair!
"The Holy City shall never perish! The light shall endure forever!" Michael was the first to respond!
He suppressed his surging blood and humiliation, flapped his wings and flew behind Uriel, raised his holy sword high, and the burning platinum holy flames soared into the sky once again, using the most intense fighting spirit to dispel the gloom!
"The Holy City shall never perish! Protect our land!" Raphael followed closely behind, his emerald life light like a revitalizing vine, entwining the ruins and bringing a glimmer of life and comfort.

"The Holy City will never perish!"

"The Holy City will never perish!"

"Light will prevail!"

……

First came sporadic shouts, like faint flames.

The shouts quickly spread!
The surviving holy judges shouted loudly; the ordinary mages who survived had tears in their eyes, but shouted with all their might.

Those believers in the distance, who had just recovered from their fear and witnessed the fall of the guardian beast, were also infected by this indomitable will. They knelt down, clasped their hands together, and turned their last belief into a wave of prayer!
"The Holy City will never perish!"

"May the light endure forever!"

The sounds converged, still trembling with the shock of surviving a catastrophe, yet brimming with determination!

Uriel's words acted like a shot of adrenaline, temporarily mending the collective will that had been torn apart by fear. Seeing this, Uriel and Remiel breathed a sigh of relief!

Although they lost, they temporarily stabilized the situation. As long as the believers' faith in the Holy City has not faded, the Holy City will still be a beacon for human mages, and they will still have a chance!
He then raised his hand, palm facing the thick platinum barrier constructed from the core of the Holy City and drawing upon its very essence.

With a thought, he severed the barrier that was blocking Viktor's gaze, which began to rapidly become transparent and thin, eventually dissipating completely.

With the barrier removed, the real sky once again came into everyone's view.

However, the scene that came into view was like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing most of the newly ignited flame of hope!
Above the sky, the three enormous void rifts that tore apart the European continent and flowed with ominous purple light still hung high in the heavens!
One of the cracks, and the suffocatingly large eye—Vel'Zix, the Eye of the Void—still floats there silently!
It just kept "gazing" down.

There was no attack, not even any energy fluctuation.

But that cold, pure "gaze" was like an invisible, immense burden, weighing heavily on the hearts of every living being in the entire holy city, no, on the entire European continent!

The excitement and determination on the faces of the mages in the holy city froze for a moment, replaced by a deeper fear and helplessness.

That enormous eye in the sky is like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, an eternal nightmare that can never be shaken off!

It silently reminds everyone: the battle is far from over, the threat has never gone away, and the void is right above the sky!
The archangels understood this perfectly well.

To re-establish the Holy City's status and restore the mages' confidence, the Void Eye in the sky must be dealt with!

Just as the Holy City was immersed in a complex atmosphere, Empress Bervis, accompanied by Kogas, appeared high above the European continent, amidst the void energy clusters emanating from the three enormous rifts.

Here, the wind is fierce and the clouds are thin.
Below lies the outline of a vast continent, while above stretches a deep abyss of rifts leading to the endless void.

And here, a "battle" is also taking place, nearing its end.

The elite reconnaissance team dispatched by the Holy City crossed the clouds and slowly approached one of the void rifts.

Their mission was to get close and observe, and gather intelligence.

The team includes a Divine Arbiter, a Holy Shadow Mage, and several Super-Rank Mages.

However, just as they were about to arrive!

Vel'Koz, the Eye of the Void, suddenly appeared!
Velcz's primary objective is to assist Cho'Gath in dealing with the core forces of the Holy City.

But after Uri built a barrier to isolate it, cutting off its "exploration" of the holy city.

He immediately spotted these "little insects" that were so close to the crack, like moths to a flame.

"Return...to...emptiness..."

A powerful will was directly injected into the depths of the consciousness of every member of the exploration team!

The sound carried a stimulating yet bewildering quality.

"You will...gain...greater power..."

"The energy of the void... is eternal..."

"Embrace the void..."
