Chapter 236: Dome Barrier Collapsed
Chapter 236: Dome Barrier Collapsed
Elysia also added protection by enveloping herself and Vanessa with layered barriers. It became ten layers of light element barrier to withstand the black mist blast wave.
The ground shook like an earthquake, and the inevitable devastation immediately hit the layered barrier that Elena and Elysia had put up in an emergency.
To their surprise, the blast wave was also reflected by the dome barrier. It came back to hit the layered-barrier from behind.
"Kuh!" Elysia walked backward, approaching Vanessa. The layered barrier they put up was eroded by the black mist, and it was slowly melting.
The explosion only lasted for an instant, but the impact was long enough for them to feel. The forest area 12 kilometers in diameter immediately became a purplish-black zone blanketed by a poisonous black mist with high corrosion rates.
Neither tree nor rock had survived the impact of the Saint Ruvoid corpse explosion. So, was this the wrath or damnation that the monster meant, besides the curse energy earlier?
'Phew... Thank goodness, we survived without any repercussions.' Elena let out a sigh of relief when the impact of the explosion was over. Only the remnants of the impact remained.
'Two of our barriers have melted away, and this black mist is so dangerous. I better take care of this dangerous pollution too...' Elysia also had the same sense of relief.
She formed a wind element magic vortex in the center area to thoroughly suck up all the deadly mist. Then, throw it down the big hole there.
Not satisfied with that, she also closed the hole tightly. This 12-kilometer area was a sealing ground for accursed monsters and a forbidden area with a high poison level.
"Cough, cough!" Elysia coughed, she spat a reddish liquid from her mouth.
'Ely! You, are you all right? Do you feel something is wrong? Are you hurt and in pain?' Elena was the most surprised and threw a series of questions out of concern.
'Uhm, I'm fine. Only the remaining blood in my mouth that I spit out.' Elysia smiled weakly. Today was so tiring.
'Ely, are we all right now? No more accursed monsters will appear from the underground, right?' Elena stared into the distance.
As far as the eye could see, only the purplish-black desert remained… Only the ground protected by their barrier was still dark brown.
'Yes, we're safe. I hope all the accursed monsters in this area have perished, and no more will appear on the surface.' Elysia looked around for a moment, hoping for the best.
'Ely, can you go to the Soul Realm now?' Elena requested, but her tone was a little sad.
'Okay.' Elysia didn't need to ask for the reason. She just stuck Celestia into the ground, sat back against the rock, then entered the Soul Realm... Her body fell in a state of suspended animation.
Elysia opened her eyes again in her spirit form. She was on the bed inside the Soul Realm, and Elena just stared at her. "Sister Elena?"
"Ely... Uu, uu... Luckily we survived... You, I, we almost died earlier..." Elena immediately hugged Elysia. She felt scared because of the experience a moment ago.
Everyone was fine and still within the eight-layer barrier. So Elena could express the fear, worry, and horror that she experienced earlier... As if she wanted to make sure that they were still alive and her Elysia was there.
As if understanding the feelings of the girl who hugged her, Elysia hugged Elena back and stroked Elena's long golden hair. She was also still afraid, considering that she thought they didn't survive when she was badly injured by the corpse explosion.
As the two girls comforted each other because of the terrible experience they had in that short time, Venessa opened her eyes. Her vision was blurry at first, but slowly it became clear.
The white tiger felt that her body did not feel pain or anything like that. She actually felt healthy and fit. 'I, my wound is gone? Is it because of Master?'
Vanessa looked at her surrounding. The forest with thick and tall trees was gone without a remnant. Only the purplish-black desert was there.
She flapped her wings and stood up. Her broken wing had returned to beauty, and her fractured leg was healed, as expected of her master. 'Is this the result of Master's battle with those cursed gorilla beasts? Such a high degree of destruction, Master really didn't spare them hehe. Then-'
When Vanessa looked at her surroundings, she was shocked when she realized that her master was sitting near her, leaning against a rock. Her master's body was still covered in red blood, but what surprised the white tiger the most... Her master was not breathing.
'N-no, no, no way. No way, absolutely not! My master is so powerful and wonderful. There's no way my master would leave me. She may be equal to the Gods and Goddesses. Yes, Master is just sleeping. I'm still living here, so my master is the same.' Vanessa consoled and convinced herself of her fear, then walked over to her master.
'Master?' Vanessa tried to call, but there was no response.
Even so, the white tiger did not lose hope. She laid there as if she wanted to protect her master in case of danger.
No one noticed, not even Elysia herself... Underground in the middle area, the malevolent liquid spread and contaminated several poles and pegs that supported the dome barrier.
The silver item's energy fought back the black liquid that tried to contaminate it. Unfortunately, the result was in vain. The black liquid won out and contaminated all the nearby silver items.
The Saint Ruvoid blood remnant damaged the ancient items, including its energy. If that continued to all of the items, then the dome barrier would slowly collapse.
However, the silver items didn't let the dome's barrier collapse without inflicting any damage to the creatures they sealed. All poles and pegs glowed in yellow for self-destruction.
Vanessa looked around once again. For some reason, she suddenly felt restless. The energy surge suddenly went up drastically. The bad thing would happen, she knew it and her instinct screamed of danger.
The white tiger immediately stood up, ready to protect her master at all costs.
*Crack* *Crack* *Kaboom!* *Kaboom!*
The ground cracked and was followed by numerous underground explosions. Furthermore, that dome barrier also turned yellow. The danger didn't only come from below but from all directions!
*KABOOM!!!*
An even more intense explosion occurred, and the force of destruction engulfed the entire dome barrier area.
"Roar!"
Vanessa roared violently and created an air barrier to protect herself and her master. The ridiculous thing, Vanessa's magic was wasted because they were still shrouded in Elysia's layered barrier...
Meanwhile, the knights outside felt an oddity in the barrier they were examining. The barrier that was originally transparent and equipped with an illusion suddenly turned into a yellow dome. Cracks appeared everywhere, followed by surges of suppressive magic energy.
"The dome will explode. Prepare for a big bang!" Arthur shouted loudly and amplified his warning with magic. He hoped everyone managed to protect themselves in time.
*KABOOM!!!*
The burst happened as expected. Arthur put up a blood-red barrier to protect himself and the nearby knights. Everything happened so suddenly. He hoped for the best with no casualties.
The ground was crushed, the trees were blown away, and everything within a five-kilometer radius was destroyed without mercy.
"Aargh!"
Dozens of knights screamed in pain, and they were blown high into the air. They failed to protect themselves in time. Only their armor and amulets protected them from the impact of the explosion.
"How dare they!" Alexander, who was watching in peace, exclaimed in anger. He thought there was a Devil Emperor who was fighting Emperor Arthur. The yellow dome earlier and this great explosion, all for the worst.
Also, that Emperor class battle took place too close to the capital city! Too dangerous, he had to step in and join the battle. Ella, Elysia, and Evelyn were there! His granddaughters were in danger too.
Alexander crushed the fake binoculars in his hand, then disappeared into particles of light. The knights on top of the city's eastern wall were unaware of the old Cardinal's absence. They were too focused on the explosion.
Simultaneously, a mist of light particles passed through the gaps in the closed city gate and exited the city. Alexander emerged from the mist of light, complete with his golden-white robe and his Pope staff.
The battle had happened in the city where he lived. The Pope would intervene because of his vows and also to save his granddaughters from harm.
"Hum!" Alexander immediately shot towards the Hastterre Forest like a red comet shrouded in yellowish light.
"What!? It's Pope Alexander! He's out of meditation because of this. Hurry, raise the alert level to level five! Prepare for war, protect the city! Follow our Pope!" The Holy Knight General shouted out loud to all of his troops.
However, that shout was also carried out by all the knights and mages of different orders. They were working together as a unit for emergencies. The strongest man in Human Continent had already come out to step in the battle. It indicated the seriousness of the incident.
"Hoh? Hehe... You finally showed yourself, huh. Looks like you failed to attain divinity and ascend to the God level. That's good, hehe, haha!" The girl laughed evilly from the top of the tree when she saw the red and yellow comet.
"Oops. The creatures exceeded my expectations. I hope you die there, Alexander, kuku..." The girl covered her mouth and chuckled. Despite the amazement that crossed her mind about the explosion, she would only watch the event for a while.
