Second World Novel

Upon arrival, Tiemezzys cast a defensive spell that erected a tall and long earth wall. The spell was called the divine earth wall, a more powerful spell than the standard earth wall. This earth wall was placed right in the middle of the Liguritudum army that was storming the gap in the wall. It effectively split their force into two.

With the Liguritudum force divided, the pressure on the defenders lessened. The defenders were able to deal with the army trapped behind the wall while the remaining enemies on the other side tried to break the earth wall.

Tiemezzys also landed and used his Sand Domain. His sand domain covered a very large area. All enemies within the domain experienced increased gravity.

Tiemezzys burrowed into this sand before assaulting Eurdrasill with hit-and-run assaults from the underground.

Even though Eurdrasill was as strong as Tiemezzys in the physical sense, he was not Tiemezzys’s opponent. This was because Eurdrasill in his zombie state could not use mana sense or mana manipulation. It was just a matter of time before Eurdrasill was defeated.

The old soldiers from Themisphere cheered for their ex-country guardian’s display. The despondency they felt when the capital wall crumbled was now replaced by hope. A hope that they could still win this battle.

The same could not be said for the defenders who were watching the battle on the other side. Jack and Therras had both lost their buffs. Even his clones’ duration ended. With normal buffs, Jack was unable to compete with Uddroth.

Uddroth’s demonization had also ended, but the dragon still proved too much for Jack and Therras. Therras was slapped by Uddroth’s tail. It was sent flying away. Jack flew around dodging Uddroth’s attacks. He was still fast enough as long as he focused on dodging, but that was all he could do.

Uddroth finally decided it was not worth it to play cat and mouse with Jack. He flew toward the gap in the wall. His hands conjured a couple of fireballs which he threw at Tiemezzys’ earth wall. The divine earth wall resisted the fireballs but cracks started appearing.

Uddroth opened his mouth. He was ready to unleash another divine fire breath.

“Shit! Peniel, give me invulnerability!” Jack exclaimed. He flew right in front of Uddroth.

Thick and dense fiery pillar poured out of Uddroth’s mouth. Jack used his body protected by invulnerability to stop the breath attack.

Unfortunately, even if Jack was unharmed, the breath attack was too powerful. Jack couldn’t stop the force with just his body. He was pushed in the air until he slammed into Tiemezzys’ earth wall. Even then, Uddroth’s divine fire breath didn’t stop. Jack’s body sunk into the wall while more cracks appeared.

“Crap!” Jack cursed. His effort to stop this breath attack was futile. He cast Teleportation and moved away before his invulnerability ended.

The divine earth wall finally crumbled after getting blasted by Uddroth’s divine fire breath. The Liguritudum army rushed in again.lightsnovel

Uddroth was not done. He flew above the defenders who were guarding the gap in the wall and cast a spell. It was an eight-rune spell. When it was completed, uncountable large fireballs poured forth. These fireballs flew like homing missiles and slammed into the defenders. Each fireball created a powerful detonation upon impact.

Jack thought the spell was similar to Flame Wrath, only much more powerful and created many more fireballs. Peniel later told Jack that he was not wrong. This spell was called Divine Flame Wrath.

Grace and Arthur were among the defenders who guarded this gap. When several fireballs headed toward their position, Grace called Arthur to stay behind her. As a senior, Arthur was hesitant to hide behind a junior in a time of danger, but then he sensed a peculiar energy from Grace’s palm.

Grace used the Generosity of Hope. She then held her palm high. Dark cold energy was exuded from her palm. As it did, a strong suction force was generated. This force didn’t suck physical things, though. So, Arthur and the other soldiers nearby weren’t hampered by this force. When the fireball detonated near them, their flames were all sucked into Grace’s palm without harming those around her.

There was even one fireball that fell straight into Grace. Arthur was about to come to the front and slash this fireball but Grace warned him to stay put. The fireball exploded before hitting Grace’s palm. It was as if there was an invisible wall. All the force from the impact and detonation were then sucked into her palm.

lightsnοvεl Arthur saw that as Grace sucked all these energies, recovery numbers continued to pop up over her head. Her HP had been low due to the long fight, but it was full now.

After the calamity was over, Grace dropped to her knees. Despite a full HP bar, she couldn’t move. She felt as if she just forced herself to run a three-day marathon without any rest.

Arthur came to her and propped her up. He was out of speech. For a youngster to be able to master the Nine Yin Devouring Palm to such a degree. He could only give her his respect in silence.

Aside from stopping the damage around her, Grace’s Generosity of Hope also revived her allies who died nearby. Even so, she only protected a small area. With that one spell from Uddroth, the defender’s formation was in tatters. The Liguritudum army didn’t waste this golden chance. They charged and broke through the barricade. Arthur brought Grace away. She was not in the condition to resume fighting.

Jack flew down and fought the charging Liguritudum army, but he was as if fighting an unstoppable tide. For every ten enemies he killed, a hundred ran through the breach in the wall. The fighting had now shifted to the inside of the capital wall.

Uddroth was about to proceed and continued to help the Liguritudum army push deeper, but a water whip caught his neck. He was then pulled by a powerful force away from the capital and was thrown into the ground.

When he got up, he saw that it was Broidrireg. After the divine earth titan vanished, Broidrireg focused on taking Suzaki down. Suzaki knew she couldn’t defeat Broidrireg as their last battle had proven, but Broidrireg also needed time to defeat Suzaki. Suzaki used defensive and evasive maneuvers to buy time.

When Broidrireg saw Uddroth cause a breach in the defense, he knew he had to postpone his sworn revenge to a later time. With a heavy heart, he attacked one of his descendants he once held dear. He knew Uddroth was just a husk of his former self, but it still pained him to attack the fallen dragon.
