The battle taking place on the fifth street had attracted the attention of many residents dwelling in the northern region of the city. Many of the powerful beings in Rodu were also spectating the battle from afar, but none of them dared to approach the battlefield.A battle between the powerful 10th-tier beings was indeed quite thrilling to watch, but it was extremely perilous to spectate at close distance. One could easily lose their life if they were watching the battle from nearby.
The city"s army had also received orders not to step in.
The intense storm was still sweeping across Rodu, and everyone was wondering who could be causing such a ma.s.sive ruckus within the city.
There were also some people who thought back to that rainy night three days ago. The commotion that night had been even more raucous, and it had also come from the direction of the fifth street. On that night, the War G.o.d of the Roth Empire, Mag Alex, was killed.
On this night, there were bound to be more important figures who were going to die, but no one knew who those important figures were going to be.
The normal residents of the city simply thought that the ruckus was coming from a string of thunderclaps, so they merely rolled over and fell asleep again.
However, there were many people who were suffering from sleepless nights, wondering what changes would arrive the next morning.
…
Within a small kitchen in the second prince"s manor, Amy sat beside a window and scooped up a small spoonful of ice cream cake. The pink strawberry ice cream and the yellow mousse were split up into p.r.o.nounced layers, and the fragrant aroma of cake immediately wafted toward her. This aroma was intermingled with the faint scent of strawberries, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She opened her mouth to accept the spoon, upon which the smooth ice cream melted in her mouth, fusing with the sweet and delicious cake to form an irresistible icy combo. The delectable flavor brought a blissful smile to her face, and after swallowing her first mouthful of cake, she nodded, and said, "Father, the ice cream is so delicious!"
The manifestation of Mag stood off to the side and appraised her with a smile on his face.
"Looks like Master Mag made something delicious for her daughter again; I really am starting to envy her. I wonder why His Highness ordered me to come and check on them, though."
Outside the kitchen, a butler was peering surrept.i.tiously into the window, and he could just manage to see both Amy and Mag from his position. He scratched his head with a perplexed look on his face before ducking down so he wouldn"t be noticed.
Due to the ongoing storm, the air temperature was very low, and the butler was s.h.i.+vering as he was only wearing a set of thin robes. He took another glance through the window before murmuring to himself, "Looks like there"s nothing amiss, so there should be no need for me to be here any longer. I"ll report this to His Highness when he gets back."
The butler hurried away through the storm after that.
What could Father be doing? He left in such a hurry; could he have encountered some baddies? Amy thought to herself with a concerned expression as she cast her gaze toward where the butler was standing not long ago.
"The ice cream is about to melt; what a pity… I should eat it…"
Amy looked at the ice cream cake before her and nodded with a serious expression as she picked up her spoon again.
…
The countless eyes hurtling through the air were emanating a sinister green light and giving off a rank fishy odor as they flew toward the griffin.
A deranged look appeared on the spatial demon patriarch"s face as he spread open both hands. Two round disks appeared in his hands, and he brought them together as he yelled, "Spatial mill, eradicate everything!"
The s.p.a.ce directly below the Eye Beast began to twist and warp as if it were being forcibly compressed by something. Countless spatial rifts appeared within an area of several dozens of meters, some of which had already elongated to several meters in length, and all of them were like sharp swords hanging in the air.
The green eyeb.a.l.l.s fell into the inky-black spatial rifts, upon which they immediately exploded into green liquid and disappeared.
The s.p.a.ce in that area was like a compressed crystal as countless cracks appeared, making it appear as if it were going to crack at any moment.
At the center of the crystal was the purple-striped griffin. Sitting atop its back was Mag, and he wore a serious expression as he raised his black claymore into the air.
Irina had her arms wound tightly around Mag"s body, and her expression wasn"t concerned in the slightest. He could resolve any issues that were thrown their way, so she was in no danger as long as she held on tightly to him.
The ma.s.sive purple-striped griffin traversed through the spatial rifts in an agile manner. The rifts were inflicting a series of small wounds on its body, from which blood was pouring forth, but that didn"t slow it down in the slightest, nor strike any fear into its heart.
All of the green eyeb.a.l.l.s were already upon them, creating a dense wave that was threatening to crush the griffin. The sound of s.p.a.ce being torn apart was akin to the sharp screech of metal grating against a blackboard, and countless spatial rifts had appeared around them. It was as if there was a pair of immensely powerful invisible hands being brought together, and the s.p.a.ce in between them was on the verge of complete collapse.
The black-robed figures on the fifth street looked on with wide eyes that were filled with awe and horror.
This was clearly a battle that was far beyond anything they could fathom.
The rising griffin was like a moth diving toward a flame, looking extremely frail as if it could be killed at any moment.
"Die, Alex!"
Josh was also scrutinizing the battle from afar as he sat atop his griffin steed in mid-air. He could see Irina hugging Alex in a tight embrace, and a twisted expression of rage and insanity appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and whipped his silver griffin steed, sending it flying like a speeding arrow toward the fifth street. "Irina, I"m going to save you this time!"
"Your Highness!"
The magic caster beside him was quite startled by this development. He looked at the spatial demon patriarch and the Eye Beast with a fearful expression and hesitated momentarily. At this point, Josh was already several dozens of meters away, and the elderly magic caster finally gritted his teeth as he also spurred his falcon steed into action. The giant falcon spread open its wings and flew after Josh in hot pursuit.
If Josh were to perish tonight, he would most definitely be killed as well.
The second prince was extremely wise, but all of his intelligence seemed to slip down the drain in the face of Princess Irina. If she were to die here tonight, perhaps it would be a good thing for him.
Of course, the magic caster didn"t dare to articulate these thoughts out loud.
A crumbling sound erupted as the entire s.p.a.ce instantly shattered. Countless green eyeb.a.l.l.s exploded at once like fireworks in the sky, further accelerating the collapse of the s.p.a.ce.
A gaping black hole that seemed capable of engulfing everything, even light, appeared.
Right at this moment, Mag finally swung his claymore through the air.
