Chapter 498: Sea of Fire _1
“No!”
Anna let out a sharp and miserable scream, then rushed towards Colin disregarding everything.
Although she had also been promoted to the sixth tier, she had just been seriously wounded by Colin’s attack. At this point, how could she possibly be a match for Colin with her injured body?
Colin had no intention of showing mercy to Anna. With a flick of his bat wings, he sent the rushed Anna flying away.
Then, he leaped onto Anna, opened his mouth wide, and bit down on her delicate and fair neck.
Even though he couldn’t turn her into a Bloodline, transforming her into a Blood ve was not a problem.
After all, a Blood ve has its own consciousness erased, eliminating the risk of betrayal. Just like Cynthia Sudor, who used to shout and attack Colin on sight, but turned into a docile little kitten once she became a Blood ve.
However, after erasing her consciousness, the one who could have stepped into the Holy Field – the Eastern Star of Hope, would probably never have any connection with the Holy Knights anymore.
But at this point, Colin had no other choice.
It would be a pity to kill her, and keeping her consciousness as a Bloodline would be too risky.<div>
So, the only option was to turn her into a Blood ve, a high-ranking fighter.
“Gulp… St…”
After a period of sucking and injecting, Colin climbed off Anna.
The fire in the city was raging at an astonishing speed. The cold ground had started to be a bit scorching, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
The sky above White Dew City was lit up like daylight by the rising mes.
Furthermore, the afterwaves of holy light from the battle between Mr. Ji and Prince Lexie made the night in White Dew City extraordinarily heated.
Colin grabbed the unconscious Anna in his hand, flicked his bat wings, and quietly flew towards the ce where the Holy Light had exploded.
He was unwilling to watch Prince Lexie die at the hands of Mr. Ji.
Firstly, Prince Lexie had just saved Colin’s life, and Colin needed to return the favor.
Secondly, if Prince Lexie was killed, then no one could restrain Mr. Ji. Colin was not able to let another Holy Knight of the Empire – Duke St. Gregorian chase Mr. Ji around all day.
By then, the North Territory and East Territory of the Empire would probably shiver under the shadow of Mr. Ji.
Moreover, Colin suspected that Mr. Ji’s real n was not just to kill Prince Lexie.
The fierce fire in the city clearly indicated that Mr. Ji was going to recreate the Forbidden Spell that he once disyed in Fallen Eagle City – Eyes of Judgement!
However, upon seeing Mr. Ji using the corpse of Duke St. Hilde to y a trick of reviving the soul, Colin guessed that the Eyes of Judgement was not an isted Forbidden Spell.
The corpse of a petrified Holy Knight must be of great use!
There’s a high possibility that there’s another rted Forbidden Spell, which allows the caster to upy the body of a petrified Holy Knight!
Mr. Ji was now upying the body of Duke St. Hilde. The power he was using, of course, was the Holy Light power of the Holy Knight. Even if he were to relearn arcane magic, he would not be able to reach the peak of the sixth tier within just more than a year.
So, the spell of Eyes of Judgement must be led by another sixth-tier Mage, who would likely upy the body of the petrified Prince Lexie.
If they seed, Mr. Ji’s side would suddenly have two Holy Knights… this would definitely bring a devastating blow to the current order of the Empire.<div>
Perhaps mages will rece the nobles and be the new ruling ss of humans.
Therefore, both for the public and private matters, Colin must save Prince Lexie.
…
Whoosh!<div>
The red mes shot up into the sky, blocking Count Nicoll’s way forward, making him no longer able to continue chasing the fleeing Pegasus Army.
“Count, this fire is obviously not normal!” the deputy officer ran over, sweating, and advised, “Should we leave White Dew City for now?”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Count Nicoll was choking on the thick smoke, realizing that the situation was bad, decisively ordered, “Retreat! First, evacuate from White Dew City!”
“Yes!”
But when Count Nicoll led his troops to the city gate, he discovered that the narrow gate was already jammed with the crowd of White Dew City residents trying to escape.
“Count, what should we do?”
Count Nicoll looked back at the increasingly raging fire behind him, made up his mind, and roared:
“Break through!”
The deputy officer hesitated for a moment, but then immediately followed the order:
“Yes!”
As a result, the Nicoll Family’s troops began to rush towards the city gate regardless of anything, and anyone who stood in their way, whether old, weak, women or children, were all knocked down to the ground.
At a critical moment of survival, they no longer cared about their soldier’s responsibilities or not harming the innocent.
Under the drive of their survival instinct, the Nicoll family’s army brutally broke a bloody path and burst out of White Dew City.<div>
However, the throughput of the four city gates was extremely limited, and White Dew City was thergest city in the eastern territory inhabited by a million people, the vast majority of whom were still trapped in the city.
Colin was hovering above and looked down to see the surging fire in White Dew City was gradually spreading into lines of fire dragons, moving along fixed trajectories, crisscrossing into the intricate pattern of an arcane array.
The centre of the array was surprisingly not far west of White Dew Fortress.
All the mes bizarrely avoided that area, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking everything.
Many people also noticed this invisible barrier and rushed over, trying to go in to escape the fire.
However, this barrier can not only block the mes but also kept the refugees outside.
They were shouting, begging, but it was of no use, they could only be swallowed up by the raging mes from behind.
Colin flew closer in the air, and the smell of charred meat was already in his nose.
This horrific scene before his eyes made his heart go cold, and an overwhelming desire to kill almost surged out uncontrobly.
He was a seasoned veteran of many battles, and had seen many scenes with mountains of dead bodies and even personally ordered massacres of tens of thousands of captives.
But this action of sacrificing an entire city crossed Colin’s line.
Regardless of Mr. Ji’s excuses, Colin could not tolerate such inhuman behavior.
At this moment, he had a firm intention to kill Mr. Ji!<div>
No matter what the standing, no matter the price, he had to kill this scourge of the human race!
Boom!
Colin also bumped into the barrier.
A faint blue glow emerged in front of Colin, like a tough eggshell that wrapped the center of the array inside.
“Open for me!”
Colin yelled, his giant bat wings pped fiercely, and he transformed into a golden arrow, shooting into the barrier.
Right at that moment, inside the dpidated warehouse in the center of the barrier, the red-robed mage opened his grotesque eyes.
Around him, a huge array was emitting a thick blue light, vaguely echoing the raging fire in White Dew City.
Shw!
The red-robed mage suddenly pulled out a dagger, and without hesitation, gouged out his left eye!
