Chapter 154 The Stunning Starry Sky
Chapter 154 The Stunning Starry Sky
Upon hearing that there were important figures from the Black Vatican, the expressions of these high-ranking mages changed. They abandoned any thought of leaving and immediately retreated, forming a circle around each other.
Only a numerical advantage can give them a sense of security when facing someone of this caliber.
"Star Seats, not just one!" someone shouted, and golden Star Seats appeared in the location of the ancestral legend, one, two—seven.
This is a super-class mage, and a golden one at that, so there can only be one, a light-element super-class mage. This made them realize that the person was indeed a super-class mage, and not someone who had obtained points by stealing from others as he had previously claimed.
Seeing that there was a high-ranking mage, they breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. They were the first to discover that a big shot from the Black Church was up to no good. This person was probably here for the Black Church.
Their strength is definitely not a problem, otherwise they wouldn't have taken the initiative to step forward. They set their sights on the ice that had turned into a monster and was constantly roaring.
"If we can't beat the big shots of the Black Vatican, we can't beat this brat, can we? A former mid-level mage is nothing to them. Destroying him is just like crushing two pieces of ice. I want to see what's going on." Someone, rather impatient, shouted and charged forward.
He can't handle opponents stronger than him, but he can just lie there and relax if they're weaker.
Su Ming, having just finished observing the massive Wu Ku, frowned. Wu Ku was also in this place? The Black Vatican truly was omnipresent.
Jiuying, that bastard, is here too, and so is Wu Ku. Just like back in Helan Mountain, with both of them here, things are really in serious trouble, but Su Ming doesn't have any good solutions.
Compared to Hao Ku Jiu Ying, Su Ming was too weak and could do nothing but watch helplessly.
Just like now, Zu Chuan can step forward, but Su Ming can't, because he's too weak.
Seven constellations are connected to form a vast starry sky, the entire sky is filled with stars. This is the strongest magic known to mankind. A huge holy sword stands there, perfect from any angle. Even a trace of aura emanating from it can annihilate a group of demons.
It's hard to imagine what could possibly stop such a holy sword. The radiance of the holy sword floated in the air, dispelling all allure. Even the black ice became much more normal, and the insects inside became increasingly active, as if the Demon-Slaying Sword had stimulated them.
The holy sword fell, leaving only a white light that obscured everything else. There was no earth-shattering tremor, yet it could annihilate most demons; it was one of the pinnacles of human magic.
Su Ming was not idle. He used fire magic to continuously wear down the shield outside the ice, and he also used his spatial magic to crush the insects falling from the sky.
There were just too many of them, so Su Ming could only ensure that he could kill those around him; he couldn't do anything about those further away.
The plant species do have some use here; although they don't crush insects very quickly, their sheer number makes up for it.
Only a few elements are useful. Light and Water elements are too low-level to be of any use right now, and Summoning elements...
Xiaoqing is AFK and can't come out. She occasionally calls out but doesn't wake up. We don't know what Bifang did or when she will be able to come out.
Normally it's fine; we can save resources and even improve things. But it becomes troublesome in times of crisis.
The intermediate-level spell in the summoning system is Contract Beast, which Su Ming doesn't have. He's been kept under surveillance and hasn't had time to acquire Contract Beasts. The advanced-level spell is Beast Tide, but he doesn't have an advanced-level spell in the summoning system yet.
There's only one summoner class that's close to high-level, Xiao Qing, and once you can't summon Xiao Qing anymore, it's a useless class.
Su Ming felt that he should still get a contracted beast, and he would do so after he got out of the city. Otherwise, his summoning system would be too unstable. Xiao Qing would definitely need to break through in the future, and during that time, the summoning system would become useless again.
"Well, let's deal with the immediate trouble first." Putting those thoughts aside, Su Ming threw a powerful punch at the ice block, but it didn't leave a mark.
That's strange, everyone else's ice, fire, lightning, and earth magic are all useless against this ice block.
This doesn't make sense; ice shouldn't be that hard.
Su Ming walked to the group of high-level mages. The ice in the sky was only dropping a few insects at a time, and had not yet completely hit the ground, so there was no rush.
They had time to sit down and discuss solutions.
"I've never heard of such ice. Normally, ice like this shouldn't exist. Even if a high-level mage creates an ice domain, we can still burn a hole with fire magic, though the area would be very small. It's impossible for it to leave no trace at all," said the oldest mage here, his face somewhat grim.
He was the oldest and least willing to die. He hadn't lived enough yet. What was the point of dying if he could live? He had gone through countless hardships to survive, and he couldn't die in this deadly place.
There are only five people here, including Su Ming. There aren't many high-level mages, so four or five here is more than enough.
In reality, it was only because the Hunter Alliance offered very attractive bounties that so many mages came.
The group looked at each other, none of them having any clue.
The Black Vatican's things are unfathomable, and we're just a bunch of roughnecks; we're really not good at this. If you ask me, since we can't do anything here, we should target those bugs up there. We need to wipe some out beforehand, to prevent their numbers from getting too large later.”
A relatively young high-ranking mage suggested.
He nodded to Su Ming. The two were about the same age, but he wasn't from the academy; he was an old hunter, and a master hunter at that.
Li Wangji's family is full of hunters, so it's quite remarkable that he became a high-level mage at his age.
"This will work. Let's deal with some of them first, and then the high-level mage can come and help us after he's taken care of the Black Church's people." Someone agreed to this method.
They all thought it was good, and Su Ming thought it was acceptable too.
But is it true that Zu Chuan could defeat Wu Ku?
This is Wu Ku, the one who even beat Jiang Shaoli to a pulp. That guy is a ruthless person with a Heavenly Seed.
Su Ming didn't know the exact strength of the two, but he knew that the Heavenly Seed was stronger than the Soul Seed, and even if Jiang Shaoxu was weak, he was at least on par with the Ancestral Legend.
In that case, it's highly likely that Zu Chuanshuo can't defeat Wu Ku.
Su Ming can only pray that his ancestral legend is powerful, otherwise the continuation of the lineage will truly be ruined.
According to legend, if Wu Ku loses, he can wipe out everyone here in an instant.
Just as everyone was excitedly preparing to destroy the insect nest in the sky, something slammed down beside them, creating a cloud of smoke that obstructed their view. "Cough cough, what is that? Are you all alright?"
"It's alright, it's just a little smoke."
Several people jumped out of the smoke area, wanting to see what the mage had done.
Li Wangji, who was the first to leave, used his wind magic to disperse the surrounding smoke, and what happened next chilled them to the bone.
