"This…" It wasn't just the sky, but also the ground was showing signs of being over. The ground started to tremble fiercely, while gaps and cracks appeared everywhere.
Yet this wasn't what made Leo and others' faces change, the black clouds were.
"It's starting!" Jeremy looked at Leo, "we need to act, we need to act now!"
"Damn!" Leo knew he wouldn't get the answer from the cardinals in ti. So, he simply relayed what happened over, and then turned to Jeremy and gave him a firm nod.
Jeremy spread the order to act over, while Leo stood in his place, taking out an old looking fan, one that suited ladies more than n. He didn't wave it, simply opened and raised it towards the clouds as if he was going to fight this disaster using this useless fan.
But it wasn't useless! It was sothing that got forged after sacrificing tons of lives. It was ironic though, as the way to fight such darkness was by using things created from the middle of darkness itself.
Taking down these clouds was sothing that would take lots of preparations, tons of effort, and a long ti.
Leo and his team might be troublemakers, but they were pros. They ca prepared to deal with this curse since the mont they learnt about its existence.
As Leo and his team were dealing with this curse, things were more hectic at the side of the city masters army. The ones outside were petrified by what was going on. They wanted to step in and help, yet the falling of the ground stopped them.
Not to ntion their leaders made it clear before leaving, even if the ground shook and the skies fell, they wouldn't move a finger towards this place. It never crossed their minds that such a warning would co true, literally happening in front of their eyes.
As for their leaders and the high-end masters with them, things weren't as the masters outside thought. Before they stepped in here, they already knew what to do. Zin brought a way to solve the impending problem of the fall of the ground, and that was sothing crazy in the eyes of many, and also pretty much exciting as well.
The solution was proposed by William, garnishing lots of awe and confusion when he ntioned it. William proposed for the masters to catch and seal the flying monsters that attacked them earlier, catching enough for the entrapped force inside this region to board its backs and fly away.
Of course, William knew like others that trying to ta these monsters was futile endeavour. And he knew more. In the outer world, such a step could be done but limited to certain masters with specific spirits. But in this world, it was impossible to do so.
William told them they had to prepare for a brutal fight and struggle against these flying monsters once boarding their backs. Monsters would try to kill the masters, and it was the duty of the masters to keep these monsters flying and rising on top of the ground using various thods.
This was just a new field, one that no one ever tread or thought about before. Yet they got to try out their chances. William didn't have any word of advice to them, only asked them to make sure to control their might and not kill the monsters by the end.
They got to lean over these monsters' backs and let them carry everyone away from here. Using this thod would save them from the hell appearing after the fall of the ground, and the curse awaiting them from the black clouds in the sky.
The mont William entered the bubble and the two traps got activated. Without any hesitation, everyone ran towards the direction of the entrapped monsters. And they boarded these in teams of a hundred per monster.
Zin could have brought more monsters to satisfy the needs of everyone, even to let a group of ten or even five masters to board the back of each monster. But he and others feared the final outco if they followed this setting.
People like Zin didn't need to rely that much on these monsters. They just would need them to cross half of the distance, and the rest could be crossed by their own abilities. Yet others didn't have such privilege.
The main threat in all this was the no guarantee fact about the directions of flight these monsters would take. If the monsters kept roaming around, then by a few hours the masters on their backs would run dry of spirit power, or even worse, sustain heavy wounds and end up unable to do anything.
So, it was better to gather up teams of masters with different abilities and powers. Like this, few would take care of handling and guiding the monsters around, and others would be free to stabilise everyone on the monsters' backs, use even protective arrays to defend others, and even share their potions and elixirs to replenish the lost spirit power or heal major wounds.
Like this they arranged the small army of masters here in different teams, and all boarded the monsters and then removed the seals on them.
The mont the monsters regained their freedom, they started to fly high, trying to knock off the annoying masters on their backs. But after half an hour of fierce and brutal flying experience, the monsters started to try sothing different.
By this ti, the ground was already gone at many spots, showing the running deadly lava at the rock bottom. Anyone seeing this lava knew this was much different than the lava released by any lava-based masters.
This lava was concentrated and very corrosive, not just made out of heat and fire, but also with toxins and acids. Falling there would have a single end, even if a lava-based master landed there, even if masters with earth elents tried to intervene, they'd all die.
