BXBX NOVEL Chapter 298 Carolina's Power (2)
Empress Carolina\'s amethyst eyes widened in disbelief, the veins on her eyes became so red from extreme agitation.
"No way!
No way… No way!!!
That was a large-scale earth spell that was already at the S level with the curse power! And yet he cleared it all with just a single attack while also casually saving the High Priest! Even my curse tornado vanished!
No!!!! No freaking way!!"
Even as the rainbow dust rained down on her surroundings and the bright sunlight had already started to bring heat to her skin, Empress Carolina could just not accept the fact that someone in this Empire could stop her ultimate attack!
"You are just a trash prince! How are you able to do that! No! Who are you!!!" Her accusations came out one after another. Her voice was even enhanced by her curse power in order for many people to hear.
"Who are you!!!" Empress Carolina shouted at the top of her lungs as she demanded a clear answer from Leon.
"Look up and see that the man in front of you was none other than the trash Third Prince of this Empire! Leon Andrae De Seirende!" Leon\'s gaze became sharper and colder as he looked down at the frenzied Carolina.
"Ahahahahahha! How dare you trick me!" There was still a trace of unbelief in her expression.
Letting out a crazed laugh, she started combining all four powers that she had - wind, lightning, earth, and the curse power.
Crackle!!! Booom!!
The skies started to darken once again and hundreds of boulders appeared in the air, this time not only covered the Temple grounds but the entire Capital. Everyone who was outside at the moment had seen the terrifying skies.
In distant villages and mountains a little far from the capital, the people became worried as they saw a dark gloom casting over the heart of the Empire.
The thunder roars and the fierce wind blows violently, the lightning also peeks in between the boulders slowly forming on the clouds. Purple streaks of light also filled the entire sky immediately casting a fearsome apocalyptic feeling that was about to descend into the Empire!
Duke Vesala who was coordinating his attack with the wolves and the knights all paused because of this scene. Although they managed to severely wound the General, some doctor and a person from the Crimson Blade came to assist and kept their grounds.
The moment the skies darkened on the Capital, Duke Maxim and the dark knights could not help but pause in apprehension.
Looking at the impending doom that was about to fall to every part of the land, Duke Maxim mumbled, "Carolina what are you up to?"
It was the same instance with the side of Callan who was fiercely engaging Emperor Valentin who had been at a disadvantage because of his vast experience. But when the skies changed they all paused and looked up, their hearts trembling in shock at what was about to happen to everyone.
"Even if my presence there would not make a difference, I will fulfill my role to the end!" Mishael also gritted his teeth and prayed to the heavens that he would make it on time. Even if his heart had already plummeted down in despair and hopelessness, he still continued his journey back.
Apparently, the one who was oblivious about the situation was Eli who was currently threading the path on the old-style sewer system of the Capital. She was now on her way to the second to the last array monument and was panting hard from the narrow pathway where she had no choice but to take on the nasty path.
"This is the shortest route to the array monument! If it saves me five minutes to do so, I don\'t mind swimming in these stinky sewers!" Eli declared in her heart as she single-mindedly passed through the narrow and grimy passageway.
Leon looked at the scale of Carolina\'s next attack with his ever calm eyes.
"Third Prince, an attack of this scale… I\'m afraid…" High Priest Enoch immediately recovered from his initial shock and was now back to his battle mode. Even if he was far from Leon\'s aptitude, he had to stand and fight till the end.
"Your Eminence, please do me a favor and help the people under the barrier." Leon politely declined the High Priest\'s offer of help and gestured to him to go under the barrier with an assuring tone.
Leon figured out that the last large-scale defense spell had already consumed the High Priest\'s mana. He was definitely sure that the High Priest plans to use his remaining vitality next in order to fuel his spells while helping him fight with Carolina, which he did not want the elderly High Priest to do.
"..." High Priest Enoch did not answer for a while and studied Leon\'s expression. \'Ah… true enough, hope would arise from the land…\' He concluded in his heart as he gazed at the valiant back of Leon who was already preparing for his move.
Letting out a gentle smile, High Priest Enoch, started to descend on the barrier. However, when he planned to do it quickly, his vision dimmed and his entire body suddenly lost its strength! "Ah… I am really getting old…" He whispered as he saw himself fall down rapidly to the ground.
Whoosh!! But before had reached the dangerous altitude, a gentle force stopped his fall and slowly assisted his weakened body on the ground. "Mishael.." He mumbled as his eyes shut in exhaustion.
Up in the sky, Leon started to pronounce several commands that would make the eavesdroppers think that he was talking to himself alone.
"Biggie, shield the Imperial palace! Avion do your best to sweep away the debris in order to prevent the people from suffocating in the dust! Spirit fairies, I implore you to lend me the power of all the elements and create a layer of barrier in the entire capital!"
At the same time, the little golem biggie emerged in between Emperor Valentin and Callan.
"Vrooooo!" His tiny golem body grew slowly until he became an enormous giant and clumps of earth started to emerge and formed a giant umbrella covering the entire imperial palace with a protective layer.
"Weee!" Avion also did her best by also expanding into a magnificent Eagle with an enormous and majestic wingspan! As she flapped her wings, the wind blew and immediately disrupted the harsh winds created by Carolina\'s power.
"Sheeeee!" Around the capital emerged countless multicolored light orbs. They started to cover every part of the city forming a layer of a barrier as a final defense for the people on the land.
This happened all in an instant as Leon raised his hands and did not even wait if Carolina would really control such a large-scale spell at once.
"You think you are the only one who could do such a terrifying spell?" Leon looked down once again at Carolina while a layer of yellow light formed in his hands.
Receiving his cold piercing glare, Carolina flinched in a bizarre feeling of fear. But her fear proved to be not unfounded because, at the next moment, Leon waved his hands and drew something in the air using the palm of his hand, the yellow light seemed to act like an ink painting on the dark purple sky.
It was only a single character from an ancient rune, but every prince of the royal family would understand what it means - vanish!
Vooooooooo!
As soon as the stroke of the run was complete, the yellow golden light expanded like a star suddenly exploding. Carolina\'s eyes became flooded by the pure yellow light almost blinding her on the spot. "Ahhhh!" She cried in pain as she felt that her eyes were stung by the harsh bright light.
The next thing everyone witnessed was the peaceful skies once again and the valiant young man casually waving his hand to vanish the yellow light on his palm.
This time, everyone outside saw, enemies and allied forces included, who was the savior that took out the threat in one swoop!
It was none other than the Third Prince of the Empire! The supposedly D Class Devourer Prince!
"Unbelievable!" Kazimir and the people who were the closest eyewitnesses to everything that happened all dropped to their knees with a combined feeling of fear and astonishment.
Kazimir\'s heart almost stopped as he tried to figure out what Leon had just done.
"What kind of power was this?
How could he do something like that?
Isn\'t he a D-class trash devourer?
He had summoned spirit faires, cast a strong spell, and was a well-known devourer. Don\'t tell me he is an Open Path!!!!"
Empress Carolina looked at the clear skies in despair. Her ultimate magic was gone just like that. Her eyes, which she was unaware had suddenly turned dull gray, looked at Leon in disbelief.
"A person like you with low blood dared to have a power greater than mine? Hahahahaha! Third Prince! In your dreams!" Carolina still did not succumb to her defeat and started to stretch her hand in the air.
In the next moment a sinister-looking grimoire appeared, it was the grimoire that she and Maxim managed to obtain in the Vesala\'s ancestral tomb!
Leon also caught a glimpse of the book and his eyes flickered. This book was a little similar to the heavenly book Eli used.
However, the one in Carolina\'s hand looked more like a cheap and pitiful imitation with the clumsy runes around its cover.
Empress Carolina flipped the book open as she said, "I apologize to my brother, my closest kin… but I have no choice but to use everything and defeat this trash of a man threatening my position!"
