Chapter 14: All Shall Perish
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Just you wait! When this barrier is broken, I will tear you apart with my own hands!" Fuming with rage, the leader of the mercenary group clenched his right fist, causing the magical aura in the air to surge wildly before pouring into his fist. Then, with a loud bang, he smashed his fist into the formation.
Bang!
The invisible barrier appeared once more. The shape of a spider web could be seen on the spot that was hit. The entire barrier was trembling as if it could collapse at any time.
At the same time, the other experts didn't hold back either. They all used their full strength and attacked at the same time, releasing their own strength on the barrier.
Boom boom boom!
The barrier endured the attacks of the five experts one after another and began to tremble violently.
Not long after, the magical formation could no longer withstand the attacks of the five people. It shattered into pieces and turned into light spots that dissipated in the air.
Of course, the reason why the barrier was so easy to break was that Laylen had removed a few alchemical stones of the magical formation when he set up the Berserk Thunder Cage. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for these people to break the barrier.
"Die!" Seeing that the barrier was broken, the patriarch of the Andre family wasted no more words. With endless murderous intent, he pounced towards Laylen like a demon.
Not only that, the remaining four experts followed closely behind.
The five of them wished they could swallow Laylen alive.
At this moment, Laylen unhurriedly activated the control token and silently chanted an incantation.
A layer of dark blue magic barrier appeared, enveloping the five of them.
Feeling restricted, the few of them had no choice but to stop and frown. Their eyes were filled with puzzlement.
"What is this?"
Didn't they break the defensive magic barrier just now? Why was there another magical formation?
"Hehe..." looking at the five of them who were puzzled, Laylen smiled and said, "Welcome to the [ Berserk Thunder cage ]."
As Laylen's voice fell, the Berserk Thunder Cage was activated. Countless magical power rushed over from all directions and gathered on a dark blue magic array.
A lightning vortex was rolled up.
The thunder gave off an extremely terrifying power.
As the thunder started forming one peal after another, the entire space of the barrier was split into several pieces.
"This is the berserk thunder cage!" Feeling the terrifying might of the thunder, the experienced Archbishop Shadow finally recognized what it was.
He screamed out hysterically, "Why is there a Berserk Thunder cage here!?"
Hearing Shadow's words, the four tier 3 experts felt their hearts race. They had not expected to be trapped in another magic formation after just breaking through one.
The power of the thunder also caused them to feel a chill.
Laylen used his token to control the magical formation. All of a sudden, a dark purple peal of thunder shot out, striking Bick at lightning speed.
Even though Bick had already made preparations to defend himself, using all of his magic, he was still unable to block the peal of thunder.
With a single strike, his shoulder was pierced through.
An arm fell from his body, giving off a burnt smell.
Following this, a few more peals of thunder appeared.
One after another, they pierced through Bick's body.
They completely destroyed his life force.
Bick opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he could not say anything. With a plop, his body fell to the ground.
Silence.
In the mayor's manor, countless guards looked at the scene in front of them, their eyes filled with disbelief.
The powerful experts in Vader City had just fallen into the killing formation, all unable to retaliate.
Was this Berserk Thunder Cage set up by Liszt?
"[ Berserk Thunder Cage ]. What terrifying power... not to mention tier 3, even if they were all tier 4 experts, they would not be able to survive and destroy this cage."
Liszt and Evelyn muttered to themselves.
When they first saw the imposing manner of these people when they broke through the defensive barrier, they thought that the Berserk Thunder Cage wouldn't be able to keep them in for long. But when they saw that the few of them had stepped into the cage and Bick get instantly killed by the thunder, the two of them could finally heave a sigh of relief.
Outside, when countless onlookers saw this scene, they also revealed shocked expressions.
Who would have thought that there would be such a killing magical formation in the mayor's residence?
"[ Berserk Thunder cage ]... this, how is this possible? How is this possible? !" On a tall building in the distance, the person in charge of the arena, the old man and the young man, were standing together. The old man stared at the purple thunder in the cage, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"[ Berserk Thunder Cage ] is... ?" The young man asked, puzzled.
"The [ Berserk Thunder Cage ] is an extremely powerful killing magical formation. Its foundation is a tier 4 magical formation. It's easy for it to kill even tier 4 experts. Not to mention all four of them, as long as they have enough alchemical stones to support the magical consumption of the formation, they can kill many more experts."
The old man paused and continued, "Even the royal family of the Borodin Kingdom doesn't have this kind of magical formation. I didn't expect it to appear in this small Vader City. It's really unbelievable..."
The young man was dumbstruck after hearing it.
"How could this be?!" The remaining four people had long let go of the anger in their hearts and were extremely anxious.
Bick couldn't even block a single peal and had died directly.
After killing Bick, the peals of thunder disappeared immediately. However, they could feel that the terrifying peals of thunder could come out from anywhere at any time.
This made the four of them shiver.
"Liszt! You shameless old man! What dirty tricks!" Duke cursed angrily.
The four of them thought that Liszt was the one who had set up the killing formation to lure them in.
"It's your turn."
Laylen stared at Duke not far away.
Seeing that Laylen was looking at him, Duke felt a chill in his heart. He quickly channeled all his magic, trying to escape.
However, the speed of the thunder was extremely fast. Only a few puffing sounds could be heard.
Duke's body was also penetrated. Only a charred wound was left.
Seeing Duke's instant death, the remaining three felt a chill in their hearts.
What was this crazy Berserk Thunder Cage, why was it so terrifying? Killing a tier 3 expert for it was as easy as killing a chicken.
"Sir, please spare us! We were wrong! It was Creed who tricked us into joining him!"
"That's right! Sir, please spare us!"
The patriarch could not be bothered to avenge his children. He simply wanted to keep himself alive.
He quickly knelt down along with the leader of the mercenary and begged Laylen for mercy.
"Begging for mercy now? It's too late."
Laylen's lips curled into a cold smile.
Then, he controlled the token in his hand again and used thunder to attack the two of them.
In the blink of an eye, the two tier 3 experts instantly died one after another, leaving only the most powerful one, Shadow, in the magical formation.
Shadow did not beg for mercy, nor did he speak. His speed soared, and his entire body was like a shadow as he attacked Laylen.
However, no matter how fast he was, how could he be faster than thunder?
A peal of thunder as thick as an arm shot out, piercing through the space between his brows.
"I..."
Shadow pointed at Laylen, wanting to say something, but the life force in his eyes dissipated before he could, making him unable to say anything.
In the end, he could only silently fall to the ground and die.
Three experts at the peak of tier 3 and one at tier 4 were all killed just like that.
