Chapter 389
The Queen conjured three colossal swords, each erupting into a towering sword tide that reached a kilometer high. Like three massive peaks smashing down from the heavens, their unmatched sword's energy shattered the very fabric of the void, enveloping Lord Falconcrest in its wrath.
The fierce sword's energy illuminated Lord Falconcrest's angry face. "You vile scoundrel, are you serious?"
One royal effigy swung a massive cleaver, its blade energy radiant, resembling a raging river. Its immense presence threatened to cleave the land itself, charging towards Lord Mountguard with unstoppable force.
Another regal figure danced wildly, commanding the stones within thousands of kilometers. Countless rocks surged, amassing into a massive, tumultuous tide of stone and forming colossal shears that cut across the sky. Grasped firmly by the effigy, they snapped viciously towards Lord Warbringer. The giant stone shears, two kilometers in size, created a killing field of equal measure, trapping Lord Warbringer within.
Lord Falconcrest, Lord Mountguard, and Lord Warbringer fought back with all their might, clashing against the royal effigies.
The grandeur of the battle and the astonishing display of combat prowess drew gasps from the distant onlookers. The three royal effigies seemed like deities descending to annihilate all beings.
The Stellar Precepts Commander, the Skyborne Rivers Commander, along with the two Elders of the Blessed Citadel, and the Archmages under Lord Falconcrest's command all looked troubled. Five more royal effigies were now advancing upon them. "Are you coming after us as well?"
"Alavin, we are both of the Eight Orders. Today we came here to-" The Skyborne Rivers Commander's words were cut short as a royal effigy descended from the sky, its fist hammering down with the force to crush space itself. Even from a distance, the Skyborne Rivers Commander felt the overwhelming pressure and was forced to plummet hundreds of meters. Before he could regain stability, the shadow of the fis crashed down upon him.
The Skyborne Rivers Commander's countenance turned grim as the water around him boiled in an instant. The water vapor instantly transformed into surging giant waves. "Tsunami's Ninefold Wrath!" The waves were relentless and mighty, each layer magnifying in strength and force. From afar, it appeared as if rivers were flowing in reverse, with tsunamis rolling in an awe-inspiring sight. But the towering effigy was ferocious, smashing through the waves one after another, eventually overpowering the strongest ninth wave and slamming it down on the Skyborne Rivers Commander. The Skyborne Rivers Commander's blood churned within him. Like a falling star, he crashed into the wilderness, creating over a dozen deep craters. Before he could catch his breath, the effigy pursued, unleashing an unending torrent that threatened to inundate both the Skyborne Rivers Commander and the wilderness.
The royal effigy had absorbed his Combat Magic.
The Skyborne Rivers Commander's expression changed once more as he took to the sky, fleeing with great speed. Yet....
On the outskirts of an ancient city, a kilometer away, another royal effigy twisted its neck and unleashed a monstrous roar. A destructive sonic wave erupted from its throat, swirling and twisting like a massive tornado that spanned a kilometer, engulfing the Skyborne Rivers Commander.
"Ah!" the Skyborne Rivers Commander screamed in agony. Blood seeped from his orifices as he nearly fell from the sky. Still, as a leader of an Organization, though greatly weakened and injured, he launched the most direct counterattack. With a piercing cry, he became enveloped in surrounding water vapor, which then split into thousands of identical copies, all made of converging tides, indistinguishable in energy and aura.
The Skyborne Rivers Commander had resorted to his most secret technique, creating thousands of duplicates that filled the sky, leaving many bystanders in a daze, and their hearts crying out in fear as they witnessed a desperate flight for survival.
The thousands of duplicates disrupted the effigy's pursuit, racing across the mountains and valleys, then soaring into the clouds to merge back into one. It was a narrow escape from a deadly strike. However, before the Skyborne Rivers Commander could catch his breath, he froze midair as a hundred-meter titan appeared above the clouds, its body surging with pitch-black dark energy. Half of its face was human, the other was skeletal, and it looked utterly sinister. Anticipating the Skyborne Rivers Commander's reemergence, the titan's right hand reached out. Its palm, half solid, half skeletal, thrummed with a dense black mist that formed into a massive vortex, exuding an engulfing force.
Despair washed over the Skyborne Rivers Commander, and in a daze, he was caught by the giant hand and devoured by the dark vortex.
The titan descended from the clouds, crashing into the wilderness with the Skyborne Rivers Commander in its grasp. With a bone-crushing crunch, a sound echoed across the battlefield...
