Chapter 2112 Defend 4


    ??As the chain of lightning continued to slither across the barrier, Magus Yord worked frantically, adding more runes and reinforcing the formation. Each time a section of the barrier flickered under the artifact''s probing, Yord was there, bolstering it with additionalyers of protection.


    Satisfied that the formation was secure under Yord''s watchful eye, Emery shifted his focus to the primary objective: stopping the hunchback ve master, Mo Yan, from enving Grand Magus Ramos. The sight of Ramos''s struggling form, bound by spectral arms, fueled Emery''s resolve.


    Limited to fighting from within the confines of the formation, Emery and hispanions unleashed a barrage of long-range attacks towards Mo Yan.


    Magus Beatrice unleashed her wind de spells, casting multiple sharp green crescent des that sliced through the air, propelled by powerful gusts of wind.


    Livi the Baphomet followed up by conjuring multiple dark fireballs, each one crackling with malevolent energy. She hurled them right behind Beatrice''s wind des, thebined assault creating a tempest of elemental fury.


    However, their efforts were quickly thwarted by the King Roc''s massive golden wings. The ancient deste beast spread its wings wide, creating an imprable shield that absorbed the brunt of the attacks. The wind des dissipated harmlessly against the Roc''s feathers, and the dark fireballs exploded with minimal impact, leaving only scorch marks.


    Undeterred, Magus Tobin, despite his limited range of spells, decided to employ a more direct approach. He took out a piece of his silver bone, channeling his power into it. The bone transformed into a long, gleaming spear, merging seamlessly with his arm. With a mighty heave, Tobin''s body arched backward, and he propelled the spear with all his strength.


    The spear flew through the air with a curving trajectory, aiming to bypass the Roc and strike at Mo Yan directly. The King Roc, quick to react, let out a shriek and pped its wings to intercept the spear. The enormous bird moved with surprising agility, positioning itself between the spear and its master.


    CRACKK!!


    The spear pierced through the Roc''s wing, the force of the impact tearing through the beast''s flesh. Blood sprayed from the wound, sttering onto the ground below.


    Emery seized the opportunity,unching his powerful [Dao Edge]. The de, infused with a potentbination of light and darkness energy, sliced through the air with a deadly precision. However, one of the four ice rhinos quickly moved to intercept, taking the hit meant for their master. The rhino''s thick, crystallized hide absorbed the impact, though visible cracks and deep wounds marred its surface.


    "Keep going!" Emerymanded, rallying hispanions to continue their assault.


    With their strategy evolving, the four ice rhinos and the King Roc took on defensive roles, circling around Mo Yan and taking turns to absorb the relentless attacks. Each creature would move to the forefront, take the brunt of the damage, and then retreat to recover while another took its ce. This rotating defense allowed them to endure the onught and protect Mo Yan effectively.


    Meanwhile, Riven, now without the protection of the beasts, had to keep his distance. He darted around the battlefield, directing the tiger pack to target the formation''s weaknesses.


    Emery left the task of dealing with the tigers to Twik and VIA, allowing him to concentrate on breaking through the defense around Mo Yan. Each sh of his [Dao Edge] was a powerful blend of light and darkness, designed to maximize damage even if itcked the precision and pration of his [Void de].


    The third energy sh finally imed one of the rhinos, its massive body copsing with a thunderous crash. By the eighth sh, along with the bombardment of long-range spells; all four ice rhinos had fallen, their forms shattered and lifeless on the battlefield.


    Despite these losses, the King Roc, though noticeably wounded, still stood resolute in its defense of Mo Yan. Its golden wings were riddled with bone spears, each wound seeping blood, and one spear had even pierced through its neck, yet it remained unyielding.


    Emery realized that unless he ventured out from the protective formation, he wouldn''t be able to inflict significant damage on the grand magus. However, the persistent attacks had not been in vain. Each failed attempt provided valuable information, revealing that Mo Yan continually relied on his minions to shield him. This suggested a vulnerability that Emery could exploit.


    Just then, Emery sensed a shift in Grand Magus Ramos''s aura through his spirit reading. The envement process appeared to be reaching a critical juncture. Recognizing the urgency, Emery knew the moment hade for a decisive strike.


    "Attack!!"


    This time, Emery cast his tier 5 spell, [Void Mist], enveloping the area in a dense, dark fog. The mist obscured vision, providing cover for hispanions as they released their strongest long-range attacks. Green wind des, dark fireballs, and bone spears hurtled through the mist, each aimed at the formidable adversary.


    From within the concealment of the mist, Emery initiated another [Dao Edge], the energy de slicing through the air with deadly precision. Without hesitation, he followed the energy de, leaping out of the formation and darting under the wounded King Roc. His target was clear: the hunchback ve master, Mo Yan.


    With lightning speed, Emery closed in, his sword poised for a lethal strike. Just as he was about tond a blow on the unsuspecting grand magus, Mo Yan turned, his eyes glowing with a malevolent light. The severe gaze halted Emery''s assault mid-air, and under the Grand Magus''s spirit attack; it burst to pieces.


    "NO!!!"


    Magus Beatrice screamed in shock, but her cry quickly turned to relief when she recognized it was just a clone.


    Emery''s real figure advanced from a different angle, utilizing his [Space Bending] technique to approach undetected. His sword gleamed with spatial energy, ready to unleash the lethal [Void de] for a determinative strike. However, just as he was about to deliver the blow, the grand magus countered with a powerful spirit attack, freezing Emery in ce.


    "Huh! You think I didn''t know it was a clone?! What an insult!!!" the old grand magus sneered, his voice dripping with contempt, before adding "It''s brave of you toe out of the formation, now you shall..."


    Before he could finish his words, Mo Yan sensed sudden danger. Seeing Emery smile, he was shocked to realize a third attack.


    Something soared at high speed from behind, bypassing his defenses. It was the hexagonal construct, now in de form, slicing through the air with deadly precision.


    "BASTARD!!!" Mo Yan roared, his eyes wide with shock.
