Sacred Beast Heavenly Hound
Chapter 384 – Sacred Beast Heavenly Hound
Thousands of magic towers 100 meters high, with round bases and spherical rooms at the top which could accommodate 30 people, rose straight into the sky. Their surfaces were covered with magical runes and at the moment, the runes were brightly lit, making it look like there were thousands of fire pillars in Sky City.
Each magic tower shot out dozens of lights directed at their neighboring towers, connecting them to form a huge magic circle.
Over Sky City, thick clouds billowed, where thunderbolts struck across the air and electric dragons meandered. These dragons, made from pure thunder energy, were ten kilometers long each with heads as large as mountains and crackling bodies. Every time one poked out from the thunderclouds, numerous lightning bolts would be released.
Of the thousands of magic towers, there were 49 special ones evenly distributed around Sky City. A little higher than the rest and also a little wider, they housed the mages responsible for controlling the Thunderstorm Formation.
In the other towers, magic stones were in piles and there were only a few mages to look over them. However, the 49 special towers contained not only a large number of magic stones but also a thunder mage. Thunder Magus was a hidden profession, so one could imagine how difficult it was to gather these thunder mages, and this was only possible thanks to Reck and Lucas, who showed their old faces around to ask for help; that was just how rare people of hidden professions were.
The 49 special magic towers controlled 49 thunder dragons. One by one, they attacked the Heavenly Hound army into utter misery.
Every time a thunder dragon struck, it sent down countless lightning bolts capable of killing almost any existence below level 50. After all, they burned up so many magic stones. Although the number of Heavenly Hound soldiers entering Sky City was large, it couldn’t stand against such crazy consumptions of magic stones. In just ten-something minutes after Thunderstorm Formation came into effect, over a hundred thousand soldiers were struck into scattered groups.
"Stupid!" A Heavenly Hound general cursed in fury. Seeing a bolt, he came to meet it head-on and was struck into trembling all over, his heath dropped by half in a split second.
"Assemble!"
Since the group of captains and deputy captains of the Heavenly Hound Corps were stopped by Iron Eagle, Lin Xi, and the others respectively, they could only give orders to the first-rank generals under them. After a discussion, they realized they’d all be struck into nothingness if they didn’t take down Sky City soon and decided to gather the soldiers immediately.
During the discussion, several generals were also thunderstruck by misfortune, hence the look of extreme irritation on their faces.
The remaining several hundred thousand Heavenly Hound troops quickly assembled, during which several tens of thousands more were killed. Right after they had gathered in one place, some of them dressed in Yin Yang mage robes stepped out to the front.
Holding their staves, these Yin Yang mages mumbled some kind of incantation, and a moment later, black fog drifted out from each staff.
"Arooooo…"
A mournful, desolate howl came from the black fog. The fog then expanded rapidly, enveloping the entire Heavenly Hound army.
When the lightning bolts fell into the black fog, it was like small pebbles falling into a big river, causing only faint ripples. As the black fog grew thicker, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly appeared in it.
The pair of pupils were five to six meters wide inside the long and narrow eyes. As soon as they took a clear shape, an oppressive, cold, and murderous aura swept through the field. From the Holy Spirit Island, Fatty shuddered fiercely the moment he saw those eyes.
"What the hell?" Fatty exclaimed.
"It’s a Heavenly Hound, the sacred beast Heavenly Hound," Next to him, the knowledgeable Reck informed as he recognized the eyes at a glance.
