Chapter 1161 Breaking the Formation
"The Holy Temple of Light is indeed bottomless, and its first move is a fierce killing move."
On the top of the mountain, Old Jonil, who was watching the battle, looked at the thick fog rising from the battlefield, frowned and said, "This illusion array is more powerful than I imagined. I'm afraid it was built using a sixth-level illusion scroll as its foundation."
"Indeed, I didn't expect that the Holy Temple of Light actually possesses such a method. Since the blank era, although there have been some sixth-level strongmen in the human world, there are no illusion masters among them. This shows that the sixth-level illusion scroll has never been born in the human world."
Gray shook his head helplessly and continued, "The fact that the Holy Lion Prince was able to trap a large number of allied troops shows that his illusion skills are also very impressive. Unfortunately, those illusionists have no room to run around."
At this point, Gray Elder added, "No, I have also been to the Eversleeping Valley. Although the illusion array there is also extremely exquisite, the energy contained in it is far less than this one. I am afraid that even if all the illusionists came here, they would only be disappointed."
"So, isn't the Holy Lion Prince in a dead end?"
Diana's starry eyes were filled with hidden worry, and she blurted out: "Could it be that such a large-scale Cold Flame army under the city will be destroyed in this illusion magic array?"
"Although we are outside the magic circle and cannot see what is inside, judging from the murderous aura it emanates, it must be filled with murderous intent and dangers."
Gray Elder confirmed Diana's opinion and nodded slightly, saying, "If the Saint Lion Prince doesn't find a way to escape in time, the result will probably be the annihilation of the entire army."
"Yes, it seems that the Prince of the Holy Lion will fall into the hands of the Holy Temple of Light."
Joniel's old face was filled with an indescribable expression. He shrugged and said, "Perhaps we overestimated the Saint Lion Prince. We didn't expect that the two sides would be victorious as soon as they came into contact. No matter how strong he is as a lord of another world, he has only been here for a short time. How could he be a match for a behemoth that has stood for three thousand years?"
Hearing the sound, Diana, Durant, and the three alchemy sages who had remained silent all showed a trace of pity on their faces, as if in the next second they would see the tragic scene of the Leng Yan army's corpses strewn all over the ground.
While the atmosphere on the top of the mountain was solemn, above the mountain, Louise in the command cabin of the "Fortress" was like an ant on hot pot, staring restlessly at the vast fog on the battlefield below.
Her fair face was full of solemnity, her eyebrows were tightly knitted, and she kept muttering in a low voice: "Hey, human prince, you are not really going to get lost in this, are you? Although even I can't do anything about this illusion."
"But there are not only your soldiers in here, but also all the assets of my blood clan! I don't care, you must come out alive! You must bring your soldiers and my clan members out alive!"
While Louise was getting nervous, on the walls of Brilliant City, the anger and laughter on the faces of Hall and Gustav became more and more unbridled.
"Your Excellency, Chief Cardinal, isn't it time yet?"
Hall's face was distorted. He stared at the magic projection in front of him, where our soldiers were panicking, falling down and fainting in the illusion. He sneered, "These clowns are really ridiculous. I can't wait to kill all these bastards from the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. The Realm of Slaughter needs to collect the killing intent and frenzy in the illusion as energy to replenish it so that it can become stronger."
Gustavo looked relaxed and confident of victory, and said with a sinister smile: "Let me see, the time should be about right, then, it's time to enter the real killing moment."
After saying this, Gustav laughed triumphantly, and energy surged around his body, causing the red bishop's robe to rustle.
In the blink of an eye, a huge blood-red magic circle formed in mid-air, and then under Gustav's control, it flew towards the city at a high speed.
After seeing this scene, Hall and the surrounding Grimm generals couldn't help but open their eyes wide in anticipation. This was obviously the magic circle to activate the next stage of the illusion!
When the magic circle and the fog merge into one, Leng Yan’s army under the city will be finished!
However, just as Hall and others were waiting to see the show with joking faces, the blood-red magic circle disappeared like a stone into the sea, without causing any ripples.
"Ok?"
Gustav's voice of doubt was also heard, and his face was full of confusion and it was obvious that he had not expected the situation at all.
Just as Hall and others thought, this was indeed a special activation array that could allow the "Realm of Slaughter" to progress to the killing stage where the opponents would attack each other, but the illusion obviously did not give any feedback, let alone progress to the next stage.
"What the hell does this happen?"
Surprised, Gustav concentrated his attention but found no clues.
Although he could clearly sense that the entire illusion was still completely under his control, it was as if the system had crashed. He could not receive any feedback for the new commands he issued, as if it was blocked by something.
"This is absolutely impossible! I am a fifth-level pinnacle illusion master, and the "Slaughter Realm" is based on a sixth-level illusion scroll. How could it be blocked or interfered with by someone? Not to mention that despicable scum, even if all the illusionists in the human world are combined, they are definitely not my opponent!"
After many unsuccessful attempts, Gustav's originally calm and stern face finally showed a trace of frustration and began to twist and deform.
He still didn't give up, and with a thought, hundreds of magic projections appeared at once, showing every scene in the illusion.
It was not until this moment that Gustav discovered in disbelief that Lei Xiao's position in the central army on the east side of the city had completely gone out of his control.
Looking at Gustav's exasperated look, the joking laughter of Hall and the others suddenly stopped, as if a pair of invisible hands had clamped their necks, and they no longer had the insolence they had just had.
Although they didn't know what was going on, it was obvious from Gustav's expression that things were inexplicably out of their control.
Just as Hall and others were looking at each other in bewilderment, an extremely crisp bell sound suddenly came from the fog.
Jingle Bell.
It was ethereal and penetrating; even the chaotic battlefield could not block out the sound in the slightest.
Jingle bell, jingle bell.
As more bells rang out one after another, the originally thick illusion fog began to slowly dissipate and became thinner.
At the same time, our and friendly soldiers who were in confusion in the illusion immediately calmed down after hearing the crisp sound of bells. The panic and fear on their faces disappeared, and even those soldiers who fainted on the ground rubbed their heads and woke up one after another.
Soon, the illusion at the central army location where Lei Xiao was located had become extremely thin, allowing the bright sunlight to shine again on the fog-covered land.
Gazing through the mist, I saw a group of magicians that had never appeared before. They were covered in gray and white misty robes, waving their staffs and chanting collectively.
Above the camp of this legion-level force, a string of giant silver bells condensed by magic power are suspended in mid-air, emitting a unique rhythm, which is the source of the ethereal sound.
And at the forefront of this mysterious force, a strong female figure in a white robe with a majestic aura was leading the chanting, like a saint descending.
After seeing this scene, whether it was the strong men from the other two neutral organizations on the top of the mountain, or Gustav, Hall and others on the city wall, they all opened their eyes wide with disbelief on their faces.
"Such a dense illusion is actually being dispelled?"
Durant rubbed his eyes again and again to make sure that he was not seeing things.
"That mysterious woman in white robes in the front is also very eye-catching. The last time we met with the Holy Lion Prince, he didn't have such a strong person by his side!"
Diana narrowed her eyes and stared closely at the scene on the battlefield. She said in amazement, "To be more precise, there is no information about this powerful woman in any of the intelligence we have!"
After hearing Diana's words, the three alchemists on the side did not say a word, but their wrinkled old faces showed surprise. It was obvious that the Alchemist Guild did not have the corresponding information.
By the way, they could even dispel an illusion array that could counter a sixth-rank expert. What were the origins of the gray-robed magic army and the mysterious white-robed female expert guarding the Saint Lion Prince? !
"The sound of silver bells reappears in reality..."
Joniel's old eyes widened, and he blurted out, "I once read about this by chance in a lost ancient book. This is a unique illusion-breaking technique of the Phantom Spirit Clan!"
"The Phantom Spirit Tribe? Isn't that an ancient extinct race that has long been annihilated in the blank era? You know, the Phantom Spirit Tribe is the ancestral race of the origin of illusions, and their illusion abilities are second to none among all the races!"
Gray Old Man also looked incredulous and said in amazement: "In this case, everything makes sense."
After being surprised, Gray Elder nodded thoughtfully and said, "The strength of the Gray Robe Army is very impressive, enough to rival a fifth-level peak warrior, and the female warrior leading them is also between the fifth-level peak and the half-step sixth-level. With such strength, they are indeed superior to Gustav, not to mention the Phantom Spirit Clan!"
"Is it actually a lost Phantom Spirit Army? And there are so many powerful Phantom Spirit warriors coming to help. How did the Holy Lion Prince get such incredible elite soldiers?"
Hearing this, Diana was shocked, but at the same time, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Although no one knows how Prince of the Holy Lion did it, he obviously broke the secret magic of the Temple of Light with force!
While Diana was excited, Joniel and Gray Old Man couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
It has to be said that they obviously underestimated the abilities of the Holy Lion Prince.
On the Fortress above the mountain top, Louise jumped up and down in joy.
"As expected of a human male that I have my eyes on, I knew that you would not let me down!"
In sharp contrast to Louise are Gustave, Hall and others on the city wall.
The joking scene that was filled with laughter just now had long disappeared, and was replaced by shock and disbelief in dead silence.
Especially the new king, Hall, looking at the furious Gustav, didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the other party would vent his anger on his head.
At this moment, the new King Grimm, who had been so arrogant just now, realized that he was the funny clown. Not to mention killing the Prince of Holy Lion, he didn't even have the courage to question and inquire about Gustav.
“They are actually the Phantom Spirit Clan? How on earth did those scum from another world pull these damn guys out from the dust of history?!”
After a moment, Gustav finally understood the current situation and his voice became deeper and deeper.
Veins on his forehead were exposed, and he clenched his fists until they made a crackling sound. He said grimly, "Don't think this is the end. I will make you die here!"
While everyone was astonished, the central army where Lei Xiao was located had completely cleared of the clouds and fog to reveal the blue sky, while in other parts of the battlefield, the fog was also quickly dissipating under the effect of the bell sound.
Needless to say, the white-robed female warrior and the gray-robed army that suddenly appeared beside Lei Xiao were naturally Shirley and her summoned army.
Not long ago, Lei Xiao learned about this through a discussion with Shirley.
Although the opponent's illusion array is supported by a sixth-level illusion scroll, it also incorporates many fifth-level arrays as auxiliary, which is its weakness.
After all, it is not surprising that the strength of the black-robed man No. 1 has not yet reached the sixth level.
With Shirley's ability, if she gives it her all, it won't be a problem to keep our side safe. However, if we want to quickly dispel the entire illusion array, we have to rely on the power of the summoning legion.
Therefore, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and directly ordered Shirley to dispel the entire illusion formation, which led to this scene.
"Your Excellency, the opponent's illusion array has been completely dispelled!"
Soon, Shirley knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again, touching her chest and bowing.
"Thank you for your hard work. This time, it's all thanks to you."
Lei Xiao bent down to help Xue Li up and nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Catherine, Thor, Jared and other main generals from other directions all rushed over, expressing their gratitude and respect to Lei Xiao, and the latter also gave a brief description of what had just happened, which made everyone marvel.
"Okay, everyone, now that the other party's trick has been exposed, it's time to continue our actions."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing, and he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, take your positions and continue to attack the city!"
Under Lei Xiao's command, the entire siege battlefield was once again filled with the roar of artillery fire, and became turbulent.
It didn't take long before, accompanied by a series of crisp sounds of glass breaking, the absolute defense barrier of Huangyao City was completely shattered and turned into tiny energy particles.
