Chapter 555: War Against G.o.d
Rhodok Sharpshooters heard Kant’s order and instantly fired the siege crossbows in their hands at the same time.
Whoos.h.!.+
350 thick and long crossbow arrows, accompanied by an explosive sound, shot toward the knee of the left front leg of the warhorse that Edmund was sitting on.
At a distance of 70 to 80 meters, the power of the siege crossbow arrows was extremely terrifying. It was not difficult to pierce through gold and crack rocks.
There was no doubt about the accuracy of Rhodok Sharpshooters. The 350 thick and long crossbow arrows gradually converged in the air and shot towards a spot.
“Roar!”
The G.o.d of War suddenly roared loudly. His voice was as loud as thunder.
All of a sudden, a huge red-light s.h.i.+eld appeared in front of the G.o.d of War.
Kant’s eyes focused. “This is an instant-cast spell? No, it should be an instant-cast divine spell!”
Bang!
An explosive sound rang out, and 350 siege crossbows that had been fused together suddenly struck the red-light s.h.i.+eld. The light s.h.i.+eld was extremely mystical. At the spot that had been struck by the crossbow bolts, a strong red light suddenly erupted, and the red light at the other parts of the light s.h.i.+eld greatly weakened, almost becoming colorless.
“This Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld is so flexible. Not only is its defensive area extremely large, but it can also focus on its defensive power on a spot?”
Just by using the Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld, Kant had witnessed the G.o.d of War’s terrifying power.
Kacha!
An extremely clear cracking sound spread throughout the entire Divine Realm. Even though Edmund’s Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld was incomparably mystical, the 350 Rhodok Sharpshooters using siege crossbows fired arrows in unison. The power was absolutely terrifying, unrivaled.
Rhodok Sharpshooters were the troop cla.s.s with the most terrifying attack power. The powerful crossbows they fired through siege crossbows were comparable to the strongest attack a mid-level grand knight could unleash with all his extraordinary power within a distance of 50 meters. Within a distance of 100 meters, it was also comparable to the strongest attack a low-level grand knight could unleash with all his extraordinary power.
The 350 siege crossbows combined together were extremely terrifying. Even the Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld released by the G.o.d of War, Edmund, could not withstand their terrifying power and was instantly destroyed.
Whoosh…
The 350 arrows released by the siege crossbows destroyed the Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld released by Edmund. Their speed was reduced by almost half, but they still shot at the left front knee of the warhorse of Edmund.
The warhorse neighed in pain.
However, these arrows were blocked by the Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld of Edmund and consumed most of its strength. Therefore, the arrows only hit the left front knee of the warhorse. They did not shatter the kneecap of the warhorse. It did not affect the galloping of the warhorse.
“Lord, look at the G.o.d of War and his warhorse. Their bodies have shrunk!”
Baheshtur suddenly reminded Kant. In such a battlefield, Kant had taken the initiative to take over the command. Baheshtur’s combat strength was limited, so all his attention was on observing the battlefield, he was dutifully filling Kant’s gaps. If Kant’s orders were inappropriate, he would directly advise him.
Kant heard Baheshtur’s reminder and looked up. As expected, the G.o.d of War, who was originally 15 meters tall and riding on a warhorse, was now only 14.67 meters tall.
Moreover, his height was slowly decreasing at a visible speed.
At this time, the mages had already listened to Kant’s order and cast the Nature Summon Spell. Twenty-five hundred golems were summoned. They surrounded the four legs of Edmund’s warhorse. These four legs were like pillars. There were more than ten golems stuck close to each leg of the warhorse. They were constantly bombarding the horse’s legs. There were also more than twenty golems surrounding nearby the horse’s legs. They were also bombarding the horse’s legs continuously.
The warhorse under the G.o.d of War was bombarded by more than 120 golems at the same time.
“Is it because of the attacks that the warhorse’s body is reduced? Or does it naturally decrease as time pa.s.ses?”
Kant thought to himself.
The G.o.d of War was surrounded by waves of golems. Every time the warhorse under him raised its hooves, it was constantly blocked by the golems. It was difficult for it to truly run.
Although the golems and the Edmund’s warhorse were very different in size, the golem’s strength and weight were not small, effectively blocking the warhorse’s galloping.
“Hmph!”
The G.o.d of War snorted, and the loud sound reverberated.
He raised the twenty-meter-long lance in his hand, and ruthlessly swept it at the golems on the ground. The momentum and power of the attack were extremely terrifying.
Kant immediately ordered, “Mages, listen up. Cast a spell on the G.o.d of War, Edmund — Deadly Deep Freeze!”
Deadly Deep Freeze: Cast a cold ray with a range of 100 meters. Upon contact with the enemy, the ray will explode and turn the area of 50 meters × 50 meters into a low temperature of -50 degree Celsius. It will cause ice damage to the enemy and damage the weapons and armor. If they were lucky, it can also freeze the enemy to death.
Every mage could release three Deadly Deep Freeze spells per day.
Upon hearing the order, the 500 mages immediately began to chant spells. After a moment, white rays emitting an extreme cold aura shot towards the G.o.d of War, Edmund, who was seventy to eighty meters away.
While the mages were chanting spells, Edmund’s heavy knight lance, which was twenty meters long, carried a sharp whistling sound as it ruthlessly swept across the densely packed golems on the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The G.o.d of War’s lance exploded with an extremely intense red light, continuously blowing up the golems. However, as the lance advanced, the red light on his lance quickly dimmed, and the speed of the lance also rapidly decreased.
The G.o.d of War, Edmund, blew up more than 200 golems in one shot.
If he were to attack more than a dozen times, these golems would probably be completely destroyed by him.
“Lord, look, the G.o.d of War’s body has become smaller!”
Kant looked carefully. The G.o.d of War’s body, which was 14.6 meters tall, was now only 14.4 meters tall with the warhorse’s body.
At this moment, 500 white, blurry, and deadly cold rays shot onto Edmund’s body. The blood-red armor on Edmund’s body had a hint of ice blue color on its surface. At the same time, tiny ice crystals appeared, this was the moisture in the air. It was instantly frozen and attached to the armor on the G.o.d of War’s body.
With the G.o.d of War as the center, the area within 50 × 50 meters had completely turned into a deep-cold environment of -50 degrees. This was not an ordinary deep-cold environment. This was a deep-cold environment caused by the combination of 500 Deadly Deep Freeze rays. Waves of deep-cold damage were released, compared to the deep-cold environment created by a single Deadly Deep Freeze spell, the lethality was 500 times higher.
The G.o.d of War instantly encountered an extremely terrifying and dense cold current. He and the warhorse beneath him became extremely slow. Their movements were also becoming slower and slower. It seemed like they were about to be frozen.
The G.o.d of War’s figure was also rapidly becoming smaller.
After experiencing all of this, Kant completely understood that if the G.o.d of War used his extraordinary power to attack or was injured, his huge body would shrink.
After understanding this point, Kant’s worry about the G.o.d of War’s huge body dropped by half.
In the deep cold environment, the G.o.d of War was struck by waves of cold current. After being injured by the cold current, his body rapidly shrank.
14.45 meters — 14.34 meters — 14.23 meters…
In a short moment, the G.o.d of War’s body and the warhorse beneath him had shrunk to 13.67 meters.
At this moment, the G.o.d of War’s body suddenly erupted with an intense red light. This red light was like a trapped beast. It slowly flowed out of the G.o.d of War’s body and spread-out inch by inch. As this red light spread out, the deep cold environment around him was also destroyed inch by inch.
It could be seen that the deep cold environment formed by the Deadly Deep Freeze spell cast by 500 mages was extremely difficult to dispel even with the power of the G.o.d of War.
At the same time, Edmund’s figure was much faster than when it was. .h.i.t by the cold current and the ice damage.
At this moment, Kant gave another order, “Rhodok Sharpshooters, Vaegir Marksmen, and the Ravenstern Rangers, fire at the left knee of the warhorse under the G.o.d of War!”
Previously, Kant had calculated that a single shot from Rhodok Sharpshooters could break the warhorse under the G.o.d of War, so he did not use the other two types of archers. However, after witnessing the divine spell of the G.o.d of War, Kant ordered all three types of archers to attack.
He wanted to break one of the warhorse’s legs.
Without the warhorse, Edmund’s mobility would be affected. For Kant and the others, it would be too easy to deal with!
Although the Edmund’s figure was shrinking, it was still too huge. Kant was determined to destroy his ability to run.
After hearing Kant’s order, the 1,050 archers quickly fired all the arrows they had prepared. The sound of thousands of arrows piercing through the air came together with a deafening sound.
A black rain of arrows shot toward the knee of the warhorse’s left front leg, which was the size of a round table.
This time, the G.o.d of War, who was trying his best to use his extraordinary power — the Divine Power of War, which destroyed the deep cold environment around him, did not use the Divine Spell Light s.h.i.+eld to block the arrows.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thousands of arrows struck the knee of the warhorse’s left front leg under the G.o.d of War. It caused an extremely loud noise.
Crack, crack!
Following that was the sound of bones breaking.
However, this time, the warhorse under the G.o.d of War did not let out a mournful cry because its leg was still in the deep cold environment. Even if its knee bone was broken, the pain was immediately frozen, it did not transmit to the warhorse’s head.
Immediately after, Kant gave the order.
“Mage, listen up: Cast any spells, target the G.o.d of War and his warhorse! Archers, listen up: Shoot freely, target the G.o.d of War and his warhorse!”
The strategic goal of breaking the Warhorse’s legs under Edmund to restrict his mobility had been achieved. Next, they could use the enormous G.o.d of War as a huge target, all they needed to do was to keep the long-range forces attacking in unison.
At this moment, the G.o.d of War just happened to completely destroy the deep cold environment that enveloped his body and the warhorse.
Neigh…
At this moment, the warhorse under him suddenly let out a painful cry. Then, his left front leg suddenly kneeled on the ground, unable to move.
At this moment, the height of Edmund combined with his warhorse under were only 12 meters tall. The G.o.d of War and the warhorse were only eight meters tall.
At the same time, arrows and all kinds of powerful spells bombarded the G.o.d of War.
Magic b.a.l.l.s, fireb.a.l.l.s, summoning lightning, Deadly Deep Freeze. These powerful spells bombarded the G.o.d of War.
This time, 200 mage apprentices launched magic b.a.l.l.s and fireb.a.l.l.s. They only knew these two offensive spells.
The warhorse under the G.o.d of War kneeled on the ground, allowing more golems to attack in unison. Hundreds of golems instantly bombarded the warhorse.
The G.o.d of War and his warhorse were shrinking at a visible speed. The speed of shrinking was so fast that even Kant was shocked. They were shrinking by half meter at one time.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The G.o.d of War suddenly let out an earth-shaking roar in the midst of the flood-like attacks.
There was extreme sadness in this roar, like the sigh of a hero at the end of his life.
The entire world shook, and countless red lights gathered toward the G.o.d of War from the borders of this world, from any place in this world.
This world began to shake violently. Distorted scenes began to appear in this world.
This was the G.o.d of War’s Divine Realm. The power of the G.o.d of War was everywhere.
Now, the G.o.d of War was retracting this power back to his own body.
As the G.o.d of War roared, a huge light s.h.i.+eld lit up around the body of the G.o.d of War. This light s.h.i.+eld was incomparably st.u.r.dy, and its defensive ability was extraordinarily powerful. It completely isolated all arrows and spells, even the golems that gathered under the warhorse was pushed far away.
Countless red lights gathered on the body of the G.o.d of War, and his body did not continue to shrink.
The world began to flicker, and strange distorted scenes appeared continuously. Kant quickly determined that those scenes were the scenes that he had seen when he entered the palace of this world. Before Kant entered the temple, he had seen it from the gate.
As the red light gathered, the aura of the G.o.d of War kept increasing.
“Baron Kant…” the G.o.d of War suddenly roared, “I want you to die!”
As the G.o.d of War roared, the world’s flickering became more and more intense.
An extremely dazzling red light exploded from the G.o.d of War’s body. The red light flowed along the G.o.d of War’s arm and completely flowed into the lance of the knight in the G.o.d of War’s hand.
“Holy spirit, come!” The G.o.d of War roared angrily. Over a hundred transparent phantoms instantly flew up from the village behind the G.o.d of War and rushed into the twenty-meter-long knight lance in his hand.
“Divine Fire, rise!” As the holy spirit entered the knight lance, the G.o.d of War roared again. The twenty-meter-long knight lance suddenly erupted with raging blood-red flames.
“Divine Realm, condense!” the G.o.d of War roared once more. The entire world suddenly shattered, turning into a ball of intense red light that shot into the lance his hand.
Everyone appeared in the temple in War Temple.
“Holy spirit as the guidance, Divine Realm as the foundation, Divine Fire the G.o.ds, Divine Spell. Spear of Faith!”
The G.o.d of War roared and threw the 20-meter-long lance in his hand, which was bursting with dazzling red divine light, at Kant like a pilum!
“I don’t believe that a spear that gathers all my strength will not be able to break the predestined fate!”
The G.o.d of War threw out a spear, and his body suddenly shrunk to the size of an ordinary person. His roar was filled with endless anger and unwillingness.
