Chapter 316 Battle Begins at The Vile Altar!
"It looks like things are about to get a little messy..." Tyson commented to his men as he signaled for them to remain prepared but not to act immediately.
Meanwhile, Peter looked sharply at Levi, seeing the man dared to challenge him. "Levi, if you're not going out for good, I'm afraid this old man here is going to have to make you go out for bad."
"Cesar certainly has something of great value to them," Killian commented in a low voice, no longer in doubt. "It can't just be his talent. He probably has something precious to Mages in general. Kohen, what happened in Millfall?"
"Cesar recently recovered a 3rd-stage beast after visiting The Rocky Gorge. I don't know what else could be behind the movement of those Mages." He said it just so his two companions would understand.
Levi listened and saw it might be more advantageous for him to fight here, to protect Vicente and force him to give them what he had before forcing him to sign an agreement with them.
'Danmed Cesar. I'll help you this time, but you'll pay dearly for it!
But since you're only a level 3 Acolyte, we'd better deal with these people first and then sort out our business among ourselves later.'
Levi clenched his fists and said aloud. "Cesar is just a level 3 Aacolyte. Do you dare to attack him, Peter? Where is your honor?"
Kohen and Killian realized the position their boss had taken and looked at each other, positioning themselves against the soldiers.
The blond man with the flame bird at his side shouted. "Let's stop these greedy people here! Young Cesar is our friend, and we won't let old men like you abuse him!"
As he said these words, Kohen controlled his flame bird, initiating the confrontation of the Mages in these ruins while attacking the group of soldiers with his infernal flames.
"Tsk! You chose this path!" Peter said as he slammed one of his feet into the ground, causing the domino behind him to spin rapidly in the air before sinking to the ground.
"First Skill: World of Pieces!"
By moving his mana, Peter caused countless huge domino pieces to appear on the outskirts of the area, creating a territory surrounded by domino pieces on all sides.
Seeing the bird of flame approaching, Alex grabbed his war hammer and jumped at the bird that was threatening his group.
"First Skill: Heavens Hammer!"
Such a person shouted as he made his red pentagram glow and made a serious hammering motion while several energy hammers appeared in the air, attacking their target in 8 different ways.
"Not so fast, king's dogs!" Killian threw two green pills in the direction of his companions before using his skills, causing a green mist to explode from the crystal in his hands, spreading poison throughout the area.
"Second Skill: Moving Sand!"
When Arthur activated his earth-based skill, the ground around him took on the properties of quicksand, forcing everyone there to move.
"Shit! These lunatics want to fight each other!" Kaleb commented to Tyson as the Acolytes broke out in a cold sweat.
Tyson looked at them and threw a red and a silver ball toward them. "Go after Cesar. When you find him, activate the Nine Demons Formation. We'll join you as soon as possible!"
"Yes, boss!"
One of the level 5 Acolytes said as he picked up the 3rd-grade formations, items capable of trapping and defeating even Low-level Mages!
Seeing these Acolytes moving toward Cesar, Kohen used his second skill, making his orange pentagram glow as he threw balls of flame as big as houses at these people.
"Not so fast!"
"Tsk! Damn you, Kohen! You think you can stop us like that?" Kaleb shouted as he stepped in front of his men.
As his pentagrams appeared, his body changed shape, with horns appearing on his head, his skin turning reddish while his muscles grew.
With a beast-like magical form, Kaleb's pentagrams transformed his body, increasing his physical attributes and giving him beastly abilities.
"Second Skill: Mountain Roar!" He opened his mouth and let out a thunderous roar toward Kohen's fireballs.
The bald, relatively fat man saw this and activated his magical form, causing a wooden statue of a sitting man to appear in front of him.
"Third Skill: Demonic Buddha!"
This wooden statue glowed an intense shade of red. In contrast, one of its seal-forming hands glowed, and several energy needles appeared around it.
"Shit! Look out!" Seeing the criminals there intended to go all out against them to get the 3rd-stage weed for themselves, Peter moved, causing a huge domino to fall in the direction of the bald man.
"Third Skill: Mechanical Shields!" Levi also moved, causing several structures of his armor to fly off his body, creating shields in front of his men as the enemy needles flew at high speed against their vital points.
"Tyson! Do you dare to attack us? We'll destroy your little group at Ironcrest!" Arthur Hogan shouted angrily.
"You will all die here!" Tyson smiled before moving.
"Second Skill: Giant Buddha!"
His wooden statue grew significantly, tripling in size in the blink of an eye, breaking the giant domino that fell on him in half.
"Feel the overwhelming presence of the Buddha!" He shouted as he jumped onto one of the wooden creature's shoulders, causing the pressure around him to increase significantly.
As he did so, the various dominoes around him began to topple, showing the difference in the power of some abilities, even among people of similar talents and levels.
Some magic forms were simply more heavenly than others, allowing their users to fight even those stronger than themselves!
Peter felt Tyson's blow and took a step back, bringing his hands to his chest as he felt a taste of blood in his mouth.
"You bastard! I'll kill you for this!" He shouted before going all out against his opponents as well.
"Third Skill: Rain of Pieces!"
At that moment, the battle between the Mages intensified, becoming truly deadly even for 3rd stage beings like these human experts.
However, this would be a long battle that wouldn't end in just a few moves.
While the strongest fought, the two level 5 Acolytes managed to overcome the dominoes in their path and found a way into the depths of the ruins where they were.
Having already sensed Cesar's presence, they moved through the narrow passages and ancient traps in the area.
'Just wait a moment, Cesar. Our faction, The Faceless Ones, will be the ones to defeat you and take the 3rd-stage herb!' The one with the 3rd-grade formations thought as he moved, seeing traps on his way, but he could easily pass through them.
As long as he was protected by the defensive formation his boss had just given him, none of these traps would work against him and his companion!
