Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 249 The Devil's Retreat

As the sword was swung, the reverse-current tornado gradually expanded its coverage area.

The attack, comparable to a forbidden spell, directly destroyed about three percent of the giant Grim Reaper's body.

Great! Effective…

The senior members of the Star Council who watched the live broadcast were all optimistic.

The limited field of vision prevented us from seeing the true size of the giant Grim Reaper; we only witnessed the destructive tornado wreaking havoc.

The combined power of Qi and blood, natural energy, and spiritual strength allowed Tai'an to gain a deeper understanding of power.

As the air currents surged forth, the colossal Grim Reaper halted its advance.

Even He must take seriously the insignificant humanity before Him.

The enormous hand collided head-on with the raging tornado.

The two forces clashed head-on for the first time.

The overwhelming sense of oppression could suffocate you at any moment.

Tai'an continued to increase his momentum, and the Dark Judgment in his hand seemed to be nearing its limit.

"That's too much! Even a god couldn't contend with a legendary monster..."

"Let's wait and see where his limit really is."

"Lord Tai'an should be able to hold on a little longer."

"The Guardians are still young, and they may well have the opportunity to surpass their limits in the future."

"..."

The three-minute stalemate ultimately ended in defeat for Tai'an.

He was sent flying backwards, his momentum completely shattered.

The power of an individual is defeated by the combined power of all beings.

Tai'an felt that it was because he had not cultivated for long enough. If he had reached adulthood, he should not have fallen into a disadvantage so easily.

The first attempt to stop them failed, so we need to take a break.

The colossal Grim Reaper continued its advance. In the blink of an eye, it was only thirty miles from the capital.

More than one hundred holy spellcasters gathered to form a second line of defense.

The long-prepared forbidden spell unleashed its full power from hundreds of energy-concentrating cannons.

As the sun rises, night turns into day.

The colossal Grim Reaper's form became unstable, and its sky-covering body was riddled with countless holes.

He let out an angry shriek, yet continued his unstoppable advance.

"Damn it, think of something quickly, we must not let Him get close to the capital."

"We should have coordinated with the god to launch an attack just now; perhaps we could have stopped it now."

"It's all your fault! You faked his defeat to test his strength!"

"The Guardian is still a child..."

"The most urgent task is to get in touch with him."

The Council of Stars was in an uproar. Some were trying to find solutions, while others were only concerned with shirking responsibility.

The current situation is very bad. If the giant Grim Reaper enters the capital area and absorbs a massive amount of strange energy, its strength may increase further.

No one can predict what will happen then…

The powerful and influential are already preparing their escape routes.

The defeat of the gods served as a wake-up call for everyone.

"Xiao An lost?" Yin Yue's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing the news.

"Miss, if things go wrong, you must immediately use the teleportation spell scroll," Guardian Loon warned solemnly, sending a telepathic message.

"Is Xiao An alright...?" Yin Yue hurriedly asked.

"According to the observations at the front, he may have been extremely exhausted and may have suffered some injuries, but he should not be in any life-threatening danger," Luo Ang truthfully reported.

"That's good!" Yin Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

The grudges between the two had not yet been resolved, and she simply could not accept his death.

When Xiao An comes back, I'm going to make him my cushion. The silver-haired loli bared her teeth in resentment.

Dorothy also received news of Taian's defeat, and felt a huge weight on her heart.

"So even you can't stop it..."

"Taian, even if the capital is destroyed, you must be safe..."

Dawn Church.

Ovisca's figure soared into the sky, entering its complete form, with a pair of pure white wings growing from its back.

"Angel, Mommy, look..."

"The Church of Dawn truly has a deity overseeing it."

Those mortals who witnessed Ovisga's figure knelt down in droves.

The news quickly spread to the command center at the front lines.

"The second Saint-level expert from the Blue Rose family has been dispatched..."

"That's good, it'll be more helpful in crucial moments."

Most people don't hold much hope for a mere Saint-level being. Even if he has the combat power of an orc guardian, so what? At best, he can only protect himself.

Who could have imagined that the unstoppable Grim Reaper would suddenly stop advancing?

Ovisga opened his domain. The spiritual power accumulated over epochs was released in an instant, far exceeding everyone's expectations.

White and black glimmers of light continuously rose within the area.

The ultimate forces of life and death converge.

A giant in black armor and white body rose from the ground, holding a pure white longsword in both hands, standing majestically in mid-air like a god.

A similar form to one that had appeared in the Grand Arena. However, the Armored Titan at this time was much larger.

The purple armored giant is about twenty to thirty meters tall. The black and white armored giant is over one hundred meters tall.

They're not even in the same size!

Nevertheless, it was still insignificant in the face of the colossal Grim Reaper.

A terrifying giant hand reached out from the clouds, like a giant grabbing a doll.

The black-and-white armored giant raised his twin swords and unleashed a cross-shaped slash.

The white flames seemed to cleave the sky. The terrifying hand of death paused slightly before falling unstoppably.

The black-and-white armored giant crossed his longsword in a defensive stance.

As the two collided, the figure suspended in mid-air slowly fell.

Until his feet touched the ground, he barely found a foothold and continued to struggle.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, fine cracks appeared on the armored giant's body. Its standing posture gradually shifted to a horse stance.

The combined power of the giant Grim Reaper has once again gained the upper hand!

"Hold on!" A nearby Sanctuary spellcaster transmitted his thoughts.

A dazzling white sun rises and bursts forth from the clouds.

The terrifying giant hand disintegrated.

The high command of the Star Council made the decision to provide cover.

At this moment, whoever steps forward, they will cooperate as much as possible.

After a brief respite, another giant hand descended.

The black-and-white armored giant, who had stood up again, was surrounded by densely packed golden inscribed rings.

An endless rain of light launched a frenzied attack on the sky, constantly crashing against the giant hand of death.

"Block it! You have to block it!" the viewers of the live broadcast silently shouted.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

The massive offensive was utterly useless against such desperate power, and could not even weaken the opponent slightly.

The focused cannons fired again, shattering the giant hand of death and buying them a moment to breathe.

Death, having lost both hands, is still recovering. Humanity seizes the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The rate of destruction cannot keep up with the rate of recovery, and it is destined to only prolong its existence.

"Where is the divine being?"

"If we don't find a way to step up now, by the time He recovers, all the ordinary people in the capital will be doomed..."

"It can't be that pessimistic..."

"Don't you see that this thing just roared a few times and emptied several towns?"

"Be prepared to abandon or retreat at any time, and at least preserve the elite forces as much as possible."
