More than 2,000 years have passed since the last maintenance of the Crystal Tower. At that time, Elrethalas was still bustling with people and bustling, but now it has become dilapidated and withered.
Immortar's wildness exceeded Syndra's expectations, and she had to send more people to the cage again.
Valeera moved lightly among a large number of structures, gradually evacuating to the outside of the battle circle.
Tedis Warmmu rushed into the battlefield like a heavy tank, attracting a lot of attention to Valeera.
Most of the trees and structures turned their targets towards this ancient war tree, which was a greater threat. Valeera took the opportunity to sneak to a corner of the garden and enter stealth again.
At the same time, Sarlayan, who turned into a black panther, also destroyed a crystal tower with his sharp claws.
The situation has developed to this point, and no matter how slow Syndra is, she will realize that something is wrong.
The guards who could move freely all rushed to the second crystal tower on the top of the building and climbed up from the bottom of the building as quickly as possible.
As mentioned before, the floor structure of Eresharas is very strange. You need to go around in a big circle from the ground floor to the third floor.
After destroying the first crystal tower, Sarlayan's transformed black panther entered a running state at full speed, and its streamlined body with a low chassis was like a black lightning streaking across the roof.
Before the anxious guards arrived, the Black Panther leaped high and smashed the third crystal tower into pieces.
After confirming that the light beam emitted by the crystal tower disappeared, Valeela immediately lit the signal flare in her hand.
"call out!"
While Sharlayan and Valeera were discussing plans with Talvir in the city, Shandis had already led a few elite members of the Sentinel Force to secretly move to the plateau wilderness opposite Ere'Thalas.
Seeing the signal flare take off, Shandis stood waiting patiently at the entrance of the camp with a glimmer of light in his eyes.
"Here we come... Knight of the Hippogriff, follow me!"
"yes!"
…
Before the sentry troops arrived, Elrethalas was divided into four battlefields.
The first part is the tug-of-war between Syndra and Immortar.
The second place is the internal fight between Syndra, which was started by the resistance organization that had just destroyed the two inner ring crystal towers, and Tortheldrin's men.
The third part is the inorganic battle between the ancient war tree Tedis Twisted Wood and a large number of structures and tree people.
The last place was the battlefield on the roof of the building where Sarlayan, who had a face-to-face encounter with the Sindra guards, was located.
After the signal flare was launched, Valeela took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, entered the stealth state again, and headed towards the rooftop platform where Sarlayan was at the fastest speed.
Due to Immortar's unexpectedly strong struggle, most of the Syndra mages were sent near the cage, and there were only a dozen guards who came to guard the crystal tower.
"Area attack! Don't let that druid enter stealth!"
Under the command of the leading mage captain, more than a dozen Syndra mages began to cast spells together.
"Hiss~"
The rapid drop in temperature made Sarlayan shiver and he subconsciously looked up.
"Freezing clouds... blizzard?"
"But who told you that I am a Druid?"
Before the blizzard took full shape, the black panther known as the druid transformed into a "dwarf" wearing leather armor.
Before the confused mages could react, Sarlayan slammed his feet on the ground and jumped, drawing a parabola in mid-air and slamming into the mages' positions.
The impact caused by Sharlayan's landing made the surrounding mages unable to stand firm, and the distraction caused the blizzard that was about to form to become unstable.
"cut!"
After landing firmly, Sarlayan first swung his sword at the mage captain who gave the order.
"Ding!"
The Demon Slayer's great sword struck the opponent's mana shield, making a crisp sound that seemed to be real.
Before the mage captain had time to rejoice, a spell suddenly shot out from the sword in both hands.
"boom!"
The mana shield that had suffered too much damage was immediately shattered, and the unstoppable sword cut the shocked mage captain in half from the shoulder, and scarlet blood sprayed onto the surrounding colleagues.
"Blood? No!"
Except for the one-sided massacre 1,200 years ago, Syndra's scholars have never truly faced a tragic battlefield.
Their lack of combat experience made them at a loss when facing Sarlayan, a veteran who had experienced many battles, shouting like new recruits on the battlefield for the first time.
After killing three frightened mages one after another, Syndra still had the upper hand. Her morale collapsed completely, and she ran away downstairs crying, wishing her parents would give her two more legs.
"Huh~ He's just a civilian mage after all. It's really not fun to fight."
Sarlayan did not pursue blindly. He calmed down his boiling blood and turned his attention to the south of Elre'Thalas.
"Shandris' reinforcements should be arriving soon... hmm?!"
The needle-like sense of threat made Sarai's hair stand on end, and he subconsciously raised his sword to block his chest.
"Uh-huh!"
"you!"
"Why!"
When Sarlayan raised his head, a stream of cyan light passed by the escaping Syndra mages. No one survived.
Almost in the blink of an eye, he grabbed the figure and rushed in front of Sarlayan.
"clang!"
The impact of sprinting at full speed hit the demon-slayer's sword, and Sarlayan suddenly felt a huge force coming from him. His feet left the ground uncontrollably, and he was forcefully knocked away by this cyan shadow.
"Click~"
There was an unpleasant sound coming from the high-quality Demon Slayer sword, and a small hole was pierced in the blade of the sword when it was hit from the front.
"not good!"
With no time to adjust his posture, Sarlayan dropped the weapon in mid-air without hesitation, curled up as much as possible in mid-air, and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
"Ding!!"
The leather armor on both arms was easily penetrated like paper, and the opened golden dragon scales served as a second line of defense to barely block the enemy's pursuit.
The strong dragon scales were also torn apart under the huge impact. Sarlayan endured the pain and rolled his body, finally keeping his feet on the ground and stepping on the ground again.
The attacker seemed to be in disbelief that he could not easily defeat Sarlayan, so he temporarily stopped attacking and took a step back to observe Sarlayan's condition.
"scale?"
Picking up the blood-stained dragon scales from the ground, the green-armored man with long gray-white hair showed a thoughtful look on his face.
After landing, Sarlayan hurriedly lowered his center of gravity and dragged his feet on the ground for a distance before stopping his body.
"this person……"
After taking a serious look at the gray-haired man who launched the surprise attack, Sarlayan quickly confirmed the identity of the other party.
"Prince Tortheldrin?"
This man in green heavy armor is the actual ruler of Elrethalas, Prince Torcedrin.
His weapon is very strange, it is a double-headed sword without any curvature, one for each hand.
Both double-headed swords are filled with powerful magical aura, but they are not like simple weapon enchantments.
The Magic Swordsman is a special profession that combines a mage and a warrior. It is said that it is unique to the elves.
The Royal Guard Spellbreakers of the High Elves are essentially magic swordsmen. They also use double-headed swords, but the blades are not as curved as Tortheldrin's weapons, and their off-hands have a large, person-high weapon.
shield.
Compared to the Spellbreaker, the two-handed Torcedrin is obviously more aggressive.
Moreover, he has also taken up the thief profession, and his movement speed is much faster than that of ordinary magic swordsmen.
He is powerful, wears heavy armor and has good defense, and he is also fast.
This was the first time for Sarlayan to encounter such a powerful and balanced enemy, which made him feel as helpless as when facing his mentor Salorian.
"Hehe...hehe!"
The crazy Tortheldrin threw away the damaged dragon scale and turned his green eyes to Sharlayan, his eyes full of cruelty and...hunger.
"A mortal with dragon bloodline is awesome!"
Torsedlin laughed crazily and said: "If I can absorb all your power, it will surely satisfy my never-ending hunger!"
"Whoa!"
"coming!"
When the green afterimage of Tortheldrin disappeared from the place, Sarlayan immediately activated the descent of the gods and the transformation of the dragon, and responded with the strongest state he could.
"call!"
The sharp sound of breaking wind passed through the place where Sarlayan originally stood.
"Um?"
It failed to hit the target, and the semi-mad Torsedrid was stunned for a moment.
"Sun thief! Where are you looking? Grandpa is here!"
Sarlayan spread out his dragon wings and flew into the air. The moment Tortheldrin raised his head, he showed the dragon claws under his feet and fell rapidly.
Habitually shouting the battle roar in a taunting manner, Tortheldrin also crossed the two double-headed swords on his head to block it.
