Chapter 465: The Fifth Node (2)


    Everything changed in an instant.


    As soon as Number Eight released his mana, the entire city trembled and was filled with stillness.


    It was as though an invisible hand gripped the necks of every person in Academy City, forcing them to remain silent. The pressure of Number Eight''s mana was enough to make many people faint.


    In fact, several weakhearted people around the city died from heart attacks when they felt his overwhelming aura.


    It was a power bordering the limits of mortals.


    "Come, Headmistress Wave, Saintess Eve. Show me what you are capable of."


    Number Eight smiled savagely under his hood. He then condensed the magic circle under his feet on his hand, and a glowing ck sphere appeared on it.


    "Come!"


    With a calm voice, he shot it towards Wave and Eve!


    "Crazy!" Wave turned pale and hurriedly cast a barrier in front of them. In the next instant


    *BOOMMM!!!*


    A powerful explosion shook the entire city.


    The ground trembled and the clouds were scattered away. The power of the explosion was so huge that despite the barrier, many buildings in the city werepletely destroyed.


    Wave''s face turned red in anger.


    "Bastard! Do you n to destroy the city!?"


    "So what if I do?" Number Eight shrugged indifferently. "Just a bunch of ants dying. It''s their fault for being in the wrong ce at the wrong moment. They should feel fortunate that they could be fertilizer for my magic circle."


    "You Are you serious!?" Wave was in disbelief.


    Demigods were very powerful existences whose power was only below the gods. To them, destroying a city was not impossible.


    Of course, most demigods did not have that kind of power. But Wave, Eve, and Number Eight were demigod at apotheosis, the highest rank of demigod. They were literally living cmities.


    Moreover, just like Wave, Number Eight was a mage. And the specialty of mages was generally destructive power!


    Normally, demigods like him controlled their power to avoid causing too much coteral damage when they fought, but the spell that Number Eight just released had enough power to level Academy City to the ground. If Wave does not block it with a barrier, the entire city would have turned into ashes!


    "He is mad," Eve muttered with a frown.


    "I''m not, Miss Eve." Number Eight chuckled. "I''m just saying the truth."


    "Bastards like you deserve to die."


    Eve''s voice was extremely cold. Even her usual deadpan expression could not hide the rage she was feeling.


    But the hooded man did not seem to care about it. He just looked at her indifferently and created another magic circle.


    "The world is dominated by the strong, Miss Eve. If they die due to my attack, it''s their fault for being weak."


    Just when he finished speaking, another glowing ck sphere appeared in his hand before flying towards Wave and Eve.


    Wave was once more forced to use a barrier to stop it.


    Normally, she would have avoided this kind of attack, but now she was forced to stop them unless she wanted to see the city destroyed.


    Number Eight had effectively tied Wave up.


    Wave''s expression was ugly after blocking that attack. The dragon headmistress was so incensed that she wanted to kill Number Eight with her gaze.


    But Number Eight received her gaze impassively. He calmly gathered the mana around him, creating another magic circle.


    This time, the spell he cast waspletely different from the previous one.


    [Meteor Rain]!


    Burning mes appeared in the sky and fell towards the city.


    "This crazy guy! Eve, I''ll take care of defending the city! You try to stop him!"


    "On it."


    The fox girl disappeared from her location, reappearing behind Number Eight.


    But Number Eight was calm. He cast a barrier behind him to stop Eve''s attack as his six subordinates rushed towards her.


    "Tsk." Eve clicked her tongue and became intangible, avoiding the attacks of the six demigods easily. She then turned into a blur, moving at an imperceptible speed and appearing in front of one of them.


    Eve''s speed was so fast that the demigod did not manage to react!


    But when Eve was about to pierce his heart and tear it out, a translucid barrier appeared around the demigod, stopping her attack.


    It was Number Eight!


    He was casting mass destruction spells to tie Wave up while supporting his subordinates to fight Eve.


    Moreover, now that he had taken the initiative to attack, Wave and Eve seemed to have fallen into a disadvantage.


    The golden-haired fox girl frowned. Her golden eyes narrowed into slits as she turned her body translucid again and disappeared.


    When she reappeared again, she had turned into six copies of herself, each one attacking one of the demigods at an insane speed!


    None of the demigods managed to react. In front of Eve''s speed, they seemed like children.


    However, Number Eight was different. He was a demigod at the same level as her. As soon as the six Eve appeared, he cast six barriers to protect each one of his subordinates.


    However, that was Eve''s goal from the start!


    "I got you." She stated as another ''her'' appeared in front of Number Eight.


    Number Eight was surprised. He hurriedly created a barrier in front of him to stop her, but to his surprise, Eve''s hand prated the barrier as though it did not exist and pierced his heart.


    But then, Eve frowned.


    "Something is wrong."


    In the next second, the figure of Number Eight faded away, reappearing several meters away.


    "That was close. As expected of Bloodstained Moonlight, the Saintess of Moonlight Glow."


    "An Illusion?" Eve asked aloud and number Eight chuckled.


    "You did not think it would be that easy, right?"


    As soon as his words finished, a magic circle appeared below Eve.


    The magic circle lit up, and several ck chains surged out of it, extending towards Eve''s body.


    ''A trap.'' Eve realized instantly. Since the start, Number Eight had been baiting her.


    ''But'' Without changing her expression, Eve''s body turned translucid, disappearing and appearing several meters away.


    To her surprise, though, she realized that she did not manage to get rid of the chains!


    The chains were following her!


    "This is?" Eve was slightly surprised. She extended her hand towards the chains and released a wave of mana that destroyed them, but to Eve''s surprise, the chains reformed in the next instant, still advancing towards her!


    Furthermore, the six demigods had gotten rid of her clones thanks to Number Eight''s help and were attacking her again.


    In just an instant, her situation had turned for the worse.


    But when she frowned and was about to release a powerful attack, an elegant and overbearing aura appeared in the distance.


    Then


    *Swish!*


    A de of light was swung down, destroying the chains in an instant.


    Moreover, this time the chains were unable to appear again.


    Eve was surprised. She hurriedly looked in the direction of the attack, only to see a silver-haired girl floating in the air with an energy de in her hand.


    "Miss Regina" Eve''s lips curved up slightly. A powerful reinforcement had arrived.


    And she was not alone. In the ground, she could see Bloed, Liu Ying, Aya, Eres, and several other figures fighting against the Blighted Monsters.


    Moreover, Saintess Charise arrived at that moment as well. She looked at Wave and Eve and smiled before talking to the stout-looking man beside her.


    "Kallevang, help them."


    "As you wish, Saintess."


    Reinforcements had arrived.
