All the defence lines were in a state of maximum alert. There was a situation of panic and uneasiness in the soldier's hearts all over the defence line.
Three out of seven defence lines had already been wrecked and no one knew which one was going to be next. The situation was totally out of hand.
The tale of terror had spread everywhere and for peace of mind, everyone prayed to God that they shouldn't be next on the hit list.
The soldiers of the Seventh defence line were already trying to find a way to deal with the damage if they were attacked.
The flares had already been charged and all they did now was for the enemy to appear.
The sky around the seventh defence line started to emit a rumble.
"He is here."
"The enemy is here!"
The guards shouted with frightened expressions and got down from the walls and tried to cover themselves in case a typhoon appeared.
The rumbling sound kept on getting louder but there was no sign of storm or dark clouds which baffled them.
According to the intel, the enemy first raised a typhoon and then attacked them with lightning showers until he destroyed everything.
As they searched around in the sky, suddenly the sky directly above their head was lit up all of sudden.
Everyone raised their head and what they witnessed was enough to make their legs go soft.
Their eyes became as wide as saucers as they saw a huge fiery mass of burning rock descending on them from the sky.
"Get into the position."
"Everyone shoot at the meteorite."
"Try to break it apart before it falls."
"Shoot the flares."
"Attack it with everything you have."
The flare direction was changed and four flares shot a beam of mass destruction up towards the sky.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
A loud blast accompanied by the shots and the ground underneath the flare cracked due to the opposite reaction of the force.
The mages fired their shots, and the warriors slashed down with their swords covered in aura yet all their efforts did was slow down its descent.
Most of the attacks turned into nothingness before they could reach due to high-density flames.
Those who were able to reach it, just put a scratch on it.
Only the flare damages it a bit and pieces of rocks separate from it and fall over them.
Soon, the meteorite crashed against the fortress with a loud blast.
The fiery meteorite exploded and loud shockwaves accompanied by flames spread all around the place.
"Huff...Huff...Huff..."
Above the sky, Alex stared at the scene below him with an impassive gaze.
Due to all the attacks till now, he had already spent three fifth of his total mana reserves. He had exerted himself greatly.
All the attacks he had cast till now were Tier 9 spells. It was currently one of the most destructive spells in his arsenal and if he used all his mana, the entire fortress along with the Seventh Defence might be wiped out of existence.
And it would also end up with him being exhausted and not able to use any spells.
"I should get back. I have been away for too long."
"Noah might have already received the news and might be planning something to deal with this," Alex muttered and his figure flew towards the Terror Of Ranvier with an incredible speed.
The current Alex could fly with a speed of 400 km/hr and it would probably take him one hour or a little more than that to reach the place.
If his calculations were correct both fires would take half a day to cancel each other. So, he had more than enough time to prepare for his next counterattack.
He also needed some time to recover and reach his peak strengths.
As Alex reached the Terror Of Ranvier, he sensed strong fluctuations.
Alex's brows furrowed and a frown appeared on his face.
"These fluctuations are quite strong. It seems Riya is fighting someone but the other side seems to be too strong.."
The closer Alex got, the more serious his expression was.
His eyeball widened.
"Mythic rank. It can't be..."
Alex opened the mana map and increased its radius and the information he saw made his face as pale as a sheet of paper.
Two Mythic ranks were fighting with Riya.
Alex's whole world turned upside down for a moment and his head became blank.
He activated the Goddess bluff and all his powers at once.
His body started to glow and emitted strong holiness.
Strength started to return to his body and the strong divinity started to make up for his emptied mana.
In an instant, Alex's speed increased by several folds and his body shot into the sky like a missile.
The space around him started to shatter and loud sonic booms started to appear.
The Arkham soldiers had already formed barracks outside the forest and were busy cleaning up the place.
Their ears perked up as they heard the loud sound of cracking and shattering of glasses from afar.
They looked towards the direction of the sound and soon saw a tiny dark dot flying towards them.
It looked like a tiny dot at first but the speed at which it was flying was terrifying and it was too late to realise this.
"Shit! Get out."
"Get out of the way."
One of the commanders who was taking the charge shouted in a panic tone.
Alex didn't spare them a glance and passed by them.
The sheer force of his speed blasted away everything in his path and left behind cracks on the ground if it was too close to him.
The Arkham soldiers who were in the line of Alex's flight were directly blasted away.
Alex located Riya and flew over the thick cloud of smoke and saw the devastation around.
A patch of land had been cleared out.
All this time, he had been praying for Riya's safety.
It didn't matter if she was injured as he could heal him, he only wanted her to be alive and as he reached the scene, he finally caught the glimpse of Riya which made his lips tremble.
Her face was drenched in blood and her hair was messy.
She seemed to be limping on one leg
Her left hand seemed to be broken and twisted and she seemed to be in bad shape.
She still held the dagger in her right and was glaring at the enemy but soon she felt Alex's presence and her eyes met his.
For a moment, everything aside, Riya disappeared from Alex's vision.
His breathing became unsteady and he panicked a bit seeing her.
Alex didn't think about anything and directly rushed towards her without a second thought.
He only needs to heal her at once and they could deal with the enemy together but Alex who was going closer to Riya suddenly felt his body harden like a statue.
He tried to move but he wasn't able to.
"Seems like the mouse is caught in the trap."
Alex heard the voice and found Noah standing far and underneath his feet, a deep blue magical circle was glowing brightly.
