Rise Of The Legendary Emperor - Chapter 263: The Power of Everlight

Swoosh!

The swords pierced through the air with an unearthly howling sound towards the Ishikara soldiers.

Boom!

The swords clashed with shields made of Life energy that was cast by the mages of Ishikara. Some of the swords disappeared when they clashed with the shields but the majority of the swords pierced through the shields and continued to soar targeting the soldiers.

“Ah!”

Pulch!

Pulch!

“Ah!”

When the swords reached the ground, the capital was filled with the screams of soldiers and splashing sounds of blood. Each sword was stabbed into the right side of their chest missing their hearts but they were pinned into the ground like nails.

Looking at hundreds of their comrades pinned to the ground and bleeding, the remaining soldiers of Ishikara shivered in pain and looked at the girl in the sky with horror. The people who were watching this scene through their windows quickly shut their children’s eyes to prevent them from watching this horrible scene while their faces turned pale.

A few moments ago they were just living their daily life as usual and never had imagined that their kingdom would be invaded by the famous Black Armored men of King Don. Moreover, they witnessed their King Noa confess about his part in the plot to kill King Don.

The speed the black armored soldiers appeared in the capital and surrounded them was insane as the Ishikara soldiers didn’t even have time to prepare themselves for the war.

And the appearance of a Heavenly Level mage demolished their courage to fight since Ishikara’s most powerful unit had only Mid level Grandmasters.

“Focus on your attacks on her!”

The few generals who didn’t get stabbed by the sword shouted at the men as the long-ranged combat unit including archers and mages fired arrows and spells at Arrora.

Various shapes and beasts made of Life energy like panthers, huge tridents, and howling wolves rushed at Arrora with hundreds of arrows fired by the archers.

However before the attacks could reach Arrora, many figures who were dressed in black robes from head to toe appeared around her and cast a windshield. While Arrora’s unit was busy with casting spells to protect her, she raised her hands as another set of swords started to take form above her to the second wave of attack.

“SHIELDS!”

“DEFENSE SPELLS!”

The normal unit and the mages immediately shouted and prepared themselves to face another crushing blow.

The dwarves felt pretty stupid and couldnt rush towards the Ishikara soldiers and get a piece of the action but looking at the powerful attack of Arrora, they knew that the battle is going to end sooner than they expected.

“GO!”

Arrora pointed her fingers at the remaining soldiers who survived the first wave as the swords soared at the soldiers.

However, unlike before, the defense spells of the Ishikara mages didn’t stop the swords this time as they pierced through their shields and stabbed the soldiers’ chest.

“NOA!”

Arrora didn’t even look at the result of her attack as she dashed towards the castle to take revenge.

“STOP HER!”

“PROTECT HER HIGHNESS!”

“ATTACK!”

“Shall we attack now, Lady Vivian?”

The mages of Everlight and the soldiers looked at Vivian for her permission but she shook her head as she put her hand on her ear.

“Dark Angels, you can move and capture the generals”

The black-dressed unit of Arrora quickly rushed at the generals and the formidable mages with lightning-fast

“Archers!”

Vivian calmly said but her voice sounded loud due to the life energy amplification as the elven archers quickly stepped forwards and nocked arrows on their bowstrings.

“Immobilize the soldiers!”

Reghys gave strict orders to them that they must minimize the casualties and kill fewer Ishikara soldiers because after they conquered Ishikara, they needed Ishikara’s army to defend the kingdom. Besides, avoiding bloodshed would increase their reputation among the commoners, especially the families of the soldiers which would result in less resistance from the people to their new rulers.

Fortunately, Arrora also had the same idea or she wouldn’t have left the soldiers alive, but the same can’t be said to their King, Noa.

The Dark Angels used the teleporter array to appear behind the mages and generals before they could even react and quickly knocked them out. This tactic messed up the hierarchy of the Ishikara army as well as their coordination.

In the beginning, the Dark Angels of Arrora had only twelve members but now their unit reached the number of fifty-five highly trained Peak Greatmasters and due to the bound energy in their bodies, each of them could easily fight a Low-level Grandmaster.

Every time they appear, they knocked off a powerful soldier, mage, and generals of the Ishikara army. Just as the soldiers were facing this tactic, they heard a low-pitched booming sound and looked up to see hundreds of black dots coming at them.

“SHIELD!”

It took several moments to realize that the black dots were none other than arrows. But they were too slow as the arrows pierced through their armor like soft butter and nailed them onto the ground. At this point, the formidable people of Ishikara were either knocked down by the Dark Angels or hit by the arrow and even their most formidable special unit that made of Peak Greatmasters was lying on the ground injured by Arrora’s swords.

Ishikara was not too weak but Everlight’s military power was too strong and none of them were prepared to face a Heavenly mage without a warning.

The invasion was too quick and they didn’t give Ishikara any time to call for help.

Not only the capital but the borders of Ishikara had been watched by Reghys, Glacia, and Grey in case the nearby kingdoms sent reinforcements to fight for Noa. But as far as Reghys could guess, it would be too late to send reinforcement to Ishikara as they had now almost conquered Ishikara and the only thing left now was killing Noa.

The black-armored men led by Hagu and Elrond had already surrounded the borders and restrained anyone from escape Ishikara, especially the spies who could alert the nearby kingdoms like Mairis or Mattia or Vreston or even Enarin which would undoubtedly have a few Heavenly level mages.

When Arrora landed on the ground, she saw a bunch of Royal guards and Royal mages of Ishikara who were blocking her way into the castle.

“STOP WHERE YOU ARE!”

A man adorned in full fancy metal armor stepped forwards with a long trident in his hand. Even though he was just a Peak Level Greatmaster, his trident was a rare Energy Armament which made him equal to a Low-level Grandmaster.

Yet, Arrora was not in the mood to reply as her silver sword appeared in her hand.

“Look out!”

The man’s eyes widened when he saw her throwing the sword at them. The sword transformed into a bolt of lightning and soared towards the man while radiating a powerful aura.

Pulch!

Pulch!

Pulch!

The swords pierced through the man’s armor before he could attack her using the trident and it didn’t stop as the swords kept piercing the mages and the Royal guards before it landed back in her hand.

“Protect…the…kin”

The Royal guard struggled to speak those words as Arrora raised her hands against and sent a blast of wind to blast them away.

Boom!

A scorching hot red fireball formed above her hand as she threw the fireball at the Ishikara door. The fireball exploded the thick wooden door into pieces as she slowly worked into the castle to meet Noa.

“WE SURRENDER!”

“DON’T KILL US!”

“WE SURRENDER!”

As she was walking into the castle, she could hear the sounds of weapons hitting the ground as well as the soldiers surrendering.

At the moment on the throne, Kayako was standing horrified looking at the soldiers who were nailed onto the walls like paintings by Arwen. Their bodies had one or two arrows and each time Noa tried to attack him or run away, Arwen would fire a warning shot and prevented him from escaping.

Just as she heard the loud explosions and turned to look at the entrance, she saw Arrora who was slowly walking towards them while radiating an immense amount of murderous aura.

Her white robes and dark hair fluttered in the wind while her silver sword in the hand trembled and let out an unearthly humming sound. For a moment, Arwen squinted his eyes as he felt like he was seeing the shadow of Don behind her.

The beautiful smile on her face now nowhere to be found and it was replaced by extreme anger and killing intent towards Noa. The entire hall turned darker and the temperature dropped considerably due to the overwhelming killing intent as Noa shivered looking at her stare.

Even Arwen took a step back and had no intention to stop her from killing Noa.

“He’s all yours”

Considering Arwen asked everything they needed to and confirmed that Noa did not have any more useful information, he stepped back and decided to let Arrora deal with him.

“NO! Who…are…you?!”

Noa screamed and stumbled back looking at her

“GUARDS! TERU!”

He shouted as loud as he could and hoped someone would come into the throne hall but Teru was already pinned to the wall and barely breathing.

The closer she got, the more he started to recognize her as the girl who was with Don during the Gathering of Kings.

“What…don’t…come…near”

Noa’s hand shivered to look at the Heavenly level magical fluctuations around her body.

Swoosh

And suddenly she dashed at him as Arwen saw a white strip of light pierce through the roof.

“Where did they go?”

Kayako mumbled and looked up at the hole in the roof and followed Arwen to the outside.
