Chapter 315 Lifting Up the Holy City, the Gaze of the Eye of the Void
Kogas devoured Raguel's essence, and his aura intensified once more.

The overflowing cold air froze the entire battlefield.

An archangel has fallen!
Right before their eyes, they were completely annihilated by Cho'Gath's Void Breath!

“Raguer…” Uriel’s voice was hoarse, the flames of revenge burning wildly in his pupils, yet also shrouded in a deep sorrow and a sense of powerlessness.

His gaze swept over Cho'Gath, and then over Rek'Sai, who, despite being injured, quickly regained her footing, the void energy flowing through the cracks in her plate armor rapidly repairing her.

The plan to kill Rek'Sai had completely failed the moment Cho'Gath arrived!

"Michael! Hyotei the Corpse Insect!"

"Plan failed! Rek'Sai is beyond killing! Disengage immediately! Conserve your strength! We cannot... afford to lose any more!"

Michael clenched his teeth so tightly they almost broke, but he knew Uriel was right.

A cold, calculating glint flashed in the rotten insect Hyotei's deep blue vertical pupils, and he let out a low, unwilling growl.

The two elders of the Earth-type Forbidden Spells understood each other perfectly and immediately began to gather magic power, preparing to cast a large-scale terrain alteration spell to create an opportunity for retreat.

Meanwhile, in the holy city that was buried alive in the deep pit.

The overall subsidence of the holy city is not the end.

At the critical moment, the three archangels who remained behind each performed their duties.

Raphael is located in the heart of the holy city.

This is the point where holy power converges. Although some buildings have collapsed, the "Holy Source Core" has not yet been destroyed.

Raphael was surrounded by a soft, milky-white holy light, his hands resting on the core crystal.

"Hold on... children..." Raphael's voice soothed the terrified souls scattered throughout the ruins.

The Naga hovered at the top of the ruins, beneath a "dome" made of countless massive rocks and twisted metal.

Her wings of light fully unfurled, guiding the golden holy light shield of the holy city itself with all her might.

Countless fine runes flowed across the surface of the shield, constantly bearing the impact of the collapsing rubble and void sludge above. Each impact caused the shield to flicker incessantly.

The Naga's body trembled, and the holy light flickered.

Like a giant god supporting the sky, she used her own wings of light and holy power to forcibly create a relatively safe "sky".

The most dangerous and energy-consuming part was Remiel's operation!
He will lift the entire holy city, which has been buried alive, out of the abyss!

"We cannot succumb! The Holy Light shall never be extinguished!" Remiel's roar echoed deep within the ruins.

He abandoned guarding the upper levels and instead rushed straight to the very bottom of the ruins!

That is where the Void sludge is most viscous and where the Void's erosion is most intense!
Remiel was enveloped in an unprecedentedly dazzling golden light!
"Get up for me!!!"

He pressed his hands down into the filthy void mud and broken foundation below!
The vast holy power transformed into two enormous, incomparable "hands of God" burning with golden flames. Using himself as the fulcrum and the holy power as the lever, he attempted to lift the entire ruins of the holy city, which were buried deep underground and weighed tens of millions of tons, as a whole!

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

Raphael rallied the core strength of the Holy City to provide him with assistance.

The earth groaned deeply under this immense force!
The thick layers of rock and building debris covering the ruins trembled violently! The void sludge was forcibly pushed aside and purified!
At the edge of the deep crater, rubble tumbled down like a waterfall!
Amid the gazes and prayers of countless survivors, the bottom of the enormous crater that buried the holy city truly began to slowly rise!
One inch... two inches... one meter... five meters... ten meters...

The rubble above continued to collapse, crashing onto the shield maintained by the Naga and splashing up blinding rain of light.

They saw it above!
I saw the outline of the sky, shrouded in filth and dust, yet undeniably real!
There are less than fifty meters left to go before we reach the ground!
"Almost there! We're almost there!"

"Archangel! Hold on!" "By the Holy Light! We're about to get out!"

However, at that very moment—when hope was within reach, and the holy city was only fifty meters above the ground—

Above the heavens, the epic battle that had been temporarily forgotten by everyone cast a deadly gaze.

Velcz, hovering above the European continent like a giant, cold, wrathful eye, was still mostly focused on suppressing the battered, blue-white-winged Arctic Icebird whose edges were stained with dark purple.

But it also keeps an eye on other battlefields.

"Target locked..."

A chilling wave of will swept across.

He didn't even stop his suppressive attack on the Frostbird; several void rays continued to lash at the Frostbird's struggling-to-maintain Frost Domain like whips.

The pupil at the core of Velcz's enormous eyeball contracted slightly and adjusted its angle. A thick ray, flashing with destructive purple light, crashed down like a spear of divine punishment towards the holy city that was struggling to rise!

"boom!"

"Kara--"

Naga was the first to sense the destructive aura emanating from the heavens! Her expression hardened as she focused all her strength on maintaining the protective array of the Holy City!

"boom----!!!"

The purple beam of destruction struck the Holy City's light shield precisely!

Raphael's expression changed drastically at the core, and he mobilized the power of the Holy Source Core for all-around defense!

“Sizzle——!!!”

The barrier flickered violently, alternating between light and darkness!
The Holy City had accumulated considerable power, and its defensive array blocked Vel'Koz's attack.

However, the most fatal thing is that this terrifying impact from the sky comes from above!
The holy city was like a huge rock crashing down on the head of someone who was about to climb out of a deep well!
"Ugh—!!!" Remir, who was doing his best to support the Holy City at the bottom of the ruins, let out a muffled groan!
He felt that he was supporting not just a city, but a mountain that had been struck by a meteorite from outer space!
A powerful downward force pressed down on him!

The holy city, which had just risen to within fifty meters of the ground, came to an abrupt halt under the combined force of the devastating impact and the immense pressure it could not withstand!

Then came an even more rapid and desperate fall!
"Do not!!!"

"My God!"

"We're fucked…"

“BOOM Boom Boom Boom!!!”

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky again! Even thicker than last time!
The Holy City was as if it had been slammed back into the abyss by an invisible giant hand, continuing to sink into the unfathomable depths of the earth veins hollowed out by the Void Escape Beast!

Velcz's giant eye shifted slightly, confirming that the target had been thrown back into the abyss, and then he paid no more attention to it.

It focused its attention once again on the "big bird" in front of it, whose feathers were stained purple and which was still putting up a stubborn fight.

This final blow caused the Holy City to fall once again.

Meanwhile, in the skies above Iceland, a wounded icebird let out a mournful and furious shriek.

It saw that Vel'Koz still had the capacity to focus on other battlefields and provide assistance.

A chilling sense of shared sorrow, like that of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox, swept over its entire body.
