999: Chapter 319 The Union of Water and Fire Overes the Sky Demon (Part 2) 999: Chapter 319 The Union of Water and Fire Overes the Sky Demon (Part 2) If a Sky Demon’s shockwave hits an ordinary person without defensive power, it’s a guaranteed one-hit kill.
However, as soon as the enemy was discovered, the craftsmen in the fortress had already entered the underground air-raid shelters that had been constructed long ago.
These air-raid shelters were built with the aid of Earth Attribute Mages and were sufficiently robust in defense such that unless the fortress was breached, the craftsmen would be safe.
Although the Human Army inside the fortress was invigorated by this round of the Sky Demon’s attack, the warriors in armor suffered minimal damage.
Only a few warriors paid with their lives when a large number of Sky Demons fired simultaneously.
This round of attacks by the Sky Demons claimed the lives of over seven hundred human warriors, yet their own losses were close to a hundred thousand.
The brutality of the war surprised everyone, and fear inevitably showed in the Sky Demons returning to the sky.
At that moment, an exceptionally large Sky Demon in the sky let out a loud screech.
The next round of Sky Demon attacks began.
Their mission was to hold off the Human Army inside the city, aiming to cause as much destruction as possible despite the heavy casualties suffered earlier.
However, the Sky Demons managed to largely remember the previous positions of the long-range troops with their remarkable vision.
This full-fledged assault aimed to eliminate all threats from the long-range army, regardless of the cost.
As the Abhorrent Army continually stepped onto the city walls, the frequency of atrocities by the Sky Demon Army increased and so too did the casualties among the soldiers of the Alliance on the city walls.
Although they continuously fought against the Abominations with bodies of steel, breaking through the Abominations’ thick skin with anything less than Green rank Douqi was challenging, making it difficult to inflict actual damage.
The battle on the city walls had reached a deadlock at this point.
Just then, the Claw Druids who had unleashed a Roaring Magic joined the fight though they were much smaller in size pared to the Abominations.
These Druids, transformed into Giant Bears, possessed incredible natural strength, their powerful bodies colliding with the Abominations without disadvantage, even overpowering them in terms of strength.
Although the number of Claw Druids was much less than the Abominations, their participation stabilized the situation on the city walls.
The long spears of the soldiers, bined with the tremendous strength of the Claw Druids, instantly stabilized the situation on the city walls.
At that moment, the Raptor Druids, another formidable race within the Druid Unit, also joined the battle.
The Raptor Druids were much more numerous than the Claw Druids, and although their bodies were smaller, their participation in the battle turned the tide.
Gusts of wind swept across the city walls.
The Eternal Tree had also evolved the capabilities of the Raptor Druids; the tornadoes that were once uncontrollable were now under precise mand.
Each tornado could accurately lift one or several huge Abominations, tossing them off the city walls.
Even with the strong defense of the Abominations, being thrown hundreds of meters from the city walls, they couldn’t escape a fate of shattered bones.
Simultaneously, bursts of purple light continuously emitted from the Raptor Druids, causing damage to the Abominations while also enhancing the damage they received.
The defense of any Abomination hit by these purple lights was drastically reduced.
This new ability acquired by the Raptor Druids is called Elf Fire, effectively reducing the physical defense of the enemy while attacking.
It’s particularly suitable against thick-skinned foes like the Abominations.
The increased damage made the attacks of the Claw Druids even more effective, and the tornadoes continuously threw one Abomination after another off the city walls, pletely stabilizing the battle above.
However, the number of the forthing Abhorrent Army was huge.
The Demon Spider Legion and Ghouls also followed the Abominations onto the city walls, intensifying their attack, and making the battle atop the walls even more fierce than before.
Although the Abyssal Creatures suffered many times more casualties than the Alliance, their numbers were still greater.
They fearlessly attacked human defenses one after another.
At that moment, the Sky Demons had also dived down from the sky.
Even after being hit twice in succession, the number of this Sky Demon Army was still in the hundreds of thousands.
The descent en masse was incredibly imposing.
Once they descended to within a hundred meters of the ground, one could imagine the ruinous impact of shockwaves released by hundreds of thousands of Sky Demons simultaneously; it was undoubtedly terrifying.
Even the Dragon Cavalry would find it hard to withstand such dense attacks.
But would Ye Yinzhu, as the Allied mander, give them such an opportunity?
Obviously, the answer is no.
A water-blue light screen appeared two hundred meters above the ground, exactly where the Sky Demons couldn’t extend their attack strength to the ground.
The magic of Water Curtain Sky Lines, unlike Flames Burning the City, which is an extensive offensive, is an extensive defensive.
A massive aqua-blue light instantly sealed the sky above the fortress without leaking a single drop.
The massive Water Element rose, turning into mist and appearing dazzlingly beautiful.
Under the light of the green moon in the sky, it even shimmered with a faint rainbow luster.
The defensive power of Water Curtain Sky Lines was extremely strong.
A large number of Sky Demons crashed into it in an instant and immediately met their demise with their sinews snapped and their bones shattered.
At the same time, the Water Element rose crazily, and the cold effect of the Water Curtain Sky Lines spread throughout the sky.
Even the Ryuzakinus Alliance Army on the ground felt bouts of coldness.
Finally, the destructive strike of the Sky Demons appeared.
Its source was not the defensive power of Water Curtain Sky Lines, for, despite its astounding magic defense, if several hundred thousand Sky Demons attacked simultaneously, they could still break through it.
Unfortunately, the Sky Demons no longer had that opportunity.
Water Element was an element not found in the Abyssal Plane, and naturally, the Abyssal Creatures did not consider it.
However, when these Water Elements truly appeared, the bodies of the Sky Demons began to mutate.
Previously, during the first wave of attack, Flames Burning the City had caused a baking effect on the bodies of the Sky Demons.
Although most of the Sky Demons escaped into the sky, their bodies had still sustained some damage from the Fire Element, especially on their most vulnerable wings.
At that moment, as a large amount of Water Element rose and interacted with the Fire Element they had previously encountered.
The bodies of the Sky Demons finally could not withstand it.
The fragile wings, having been roasted by fire and now chilled by water, rapidly flapped and immediately sustained varying degrees of damage.
Bodies of the Sky Demons rained down like raindrops, constantly crashing against the Water Curtain Sky Lines, creating dense thudding sounds.
Only those Sky Demons that had sustained minor impact from the Fire Element during the previous attack and reacted quickly enough had time to fly up.
Unfortunately, a distance of two hundred meters had already fallen within the range of the Alliance’s long-range attack.
With Water Curtain Sky Lines blocking the outside, why would the long-range warriors hesitate?
Countless arrows soared into the sky, targeting those Sky Demons preparing to fly or those who had not yet crashed into the Water Curtain Sky Lines.
Fifteen thousand Elf Soldiers, and fifty thousand from Qin City Long-Distance Corps, with each volley, took away countless lives of the Sky Demons.
When the effect of Water Curtain Sky Lines disappeared for a moment, the bodies of Sky Demons dropped from the sky like raindrops.
Of these last round of attacking Sky Demons, one in ten could escape ascent.
Ye Yinzhu, standing on the city wall, silently breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter how intense the battle on the city was, it was not enough to affect his mindset; the Sky Demons attacking from the air were the crucial element.
If they were allowed to inflict sufficient destruction or if the Long-distance Army suffered heavy losses, then in the uping wars, the Alliance would be put in a difficult situation.
However, at this moment, having annihilated nearly a million Sky Demons at a trivial cost was undoubtedly a massive victory for the Alliance.
This battle also made Ye Yinzhu distinctly aware of the terror of Faran.
Water and Fire Attribute Mages were the most numerous in Faran.
Allowing these two types of mages to release magic consecutively produced terrifying effects that could frighten anyone.
This was the true strength of Faran.
Once the abilities of these mages were fully unleashed, they would be a nightmarish existence for any enemy.
Despite other countries believing Qin City’s power was enough to contend with Faran, Ye Yinzhu was very clear that Faran still held the strongest power in the Ryuzakinus Continent.
One hundred and twenty thousand of Faran’s Holy Knights might not be much, but Faran’s tens of thousands of high-level Mages represented an extremely terrifying force.
Unless relying on a surprise attack by Zither Emperor to prevent them from casting, Qin City definitely could not match Faran.
Moreover, in Faran, there still were six Tower Masters, powerful mages of that caliber.
The threat in the sky was eliminated, and the remaining Sky Demons flew away as if fleeing for their lives.
But the battle on the city walls continued.
Despite the fortress walls being extremely wide, they were ultimately limited.
Now, the entire city top was filled with warriors from both sides.
Human warriors continuously reinforced from within the fortress, while the enemy kept scaling the walls from outside.
The magic of Raptor Druids was being deployed with full force, but the sheer number of enemies attacking the city was too great, and for a time, they could only withstand the opponent’s attacks.
However, the casualties of the Alliance were increasing exponentially.
Cruz said anxiously, “Marshal, isn’t it time for our main army corps to enter the battle?
If this continues, we can’t afford such losses.
Many Abyssal Creatures are yet to join the fight.
Their total number is at least ten times ours.” (To be continued, for further information, please visit .
