Second World-Chapter 1727. Settle Things for Real

When Mazin was about to crash into Mistress, someone came in between. Mazin and this person collided. This person bounced from the impact force, but Mazin's charge was also stopped.

The one who stopped Mazin was Lancel Sunpiercer, Mistress' mythical-grade companion. After the war in Aurebor, Lancel had increased one level to level 81.

Despite losing the contest in strength, Lancel didn't lose balance. His feet deftly regained footing as he thrust his spear. Dragoon's Piercing Spear shot out. This energy spear slammed into Mazin and caused it to take one step back.

Joe, who had been saved from danger, went back to offense again.

"Sorry, sister. Take this!" He shouted as the air around Mistress and Lancel was filled with flames.

This was the Elementalist's firestorm. Joe could use this spell because of the third skill from Arcane Knight, Access Arcane Spell. This skill let Joe choose any elite spell from the elite classes branched from the Mage class. Cooldown and duration followed the original spells. During combat, Joe could only access one spell. If he wished to access different spells, he had to be out of combat status before making a different selection.

Mistress didn't panic. She cast a spell. She had half-filled another soul orb since using the last one. Her Death's Shade and Soul Hounds were fighting the native soldiers, gathering energy to fill her soul orb.

Similar to Wilted's Revitalizing Blast, Mistress' soul orb also exploded. But instead of creating a blinding flash, Mistress' one formed a glowing dome. This glowing dome covered a large area. Joe's firestorm damaged Mistress, Lancel, and the other natives within the area of effect. But at the same time, those within Mistress' glowing dome received continuous heals.

This glowing Dome was Envoy of Death's level 80 spell, Field of Death. The spell damaged all the enemies in an area while granting continuous healing to allies. The more damage was caused to enemies, the more healing was granted to allies. The spell also reduces all damage suffered by allies inside the dome. The effectiveness of this spell was multiplied if a soul orb was used. Mistress' half-filled soul orb improved this spell's power by 50%.

While they were fighting, a large spaceship suddenly materialized above them. This spaceship unleashed a barrage of missiles that devastated a large area. Both Wilted and Mistress knew this was the Mothership Bombardment. This skill was evolved from Technocraft's Bombardment using a legendary-grade Advanced Seed.

The user revealed himself then. It was Paytowin. He flew in with Brave King and Mihos. The three landed on the side opposite from where Wilted was. That side had many of Themisphere's Brave Champions who were trying to secure a foothold. Mihos' arrival sent the Brave Champions into a frenzy. Having a legitimate member of the Council of Virtus fighting among them, the Brave Champions' morale went through the roof.

Mihos stayed with those Brave Champions while Paytowin and Brave King came to Wilted's aid.

Paytowin was already level 82. When he reached level 80, he received a new skill called Brave Interceptors. This skill summoned fast-moving drones that shot laser beams. They were much faster and sturdier than Gunner's drones. The damage they inflicted was also higher.

Three interceptors appeared as Paytowin shot Mistress using his Brave Rifle. Paytowin could summon three interceptors because the skill was level 10. If it was max-leveled to level 20, he could produce five interceptors.

Several World Ruler's members came forward to protect Mistress from the Interceptors. Brave King barreled through these players. Brave King had also undergone many upgrades. Its casing was a brilliant golden shine. Its lion head was as if alive. It didn't look less intimidating than Wilted's Mazin.

While Brave King came storming from the left, Mazin returned with a charge from the right. Lancel used a skill that sent powerful repeating stabs in all directions. Both Brave King and Mazin tanked through the damage. With sheer force, they forced themselves into Lancel's spear storm.

As if planned, the two sent their fists at Lancel at the same time. The two powerful blows slammed into the elven spear-wielder and sent him crashing into the parapet on the opposite side.

Mistress hurriedly cast Teleportation and moved away from there before the two techno golems turned their attention to her. She reappeared near Lancel who was getting up. She cast a healing spell and added a few buffs to strengthen him.

She looked at where Master was. Was this how far they had fallen? When she last talked with Master several days ago, he still seemed confident. None of what was going on now inspired confidence. They were seriously outnumbered.

While almost everyone was rushing ahead to the wall and did battle, Domon stayed behind.

By now, he was already accustomed to a real death-and-life large-scale battle. He still disliked it but he would join the battle when he was needed. He didn't think he was needed now. From the look of it, the enemy was at a serious disadvantage. If he joined, he would feel like a bully. He wasn't, so he stayed back.

He asked his disciples to aid the battle, though. He knew they would just follow his example if he didn't ask them to. He summoned Mohmed and had him help with the battle. When the wall fell, then only would he advance. Not to fight, but to make his way to where Leavemealone was and save that disciple of his.

Since Domon didn't join the battle, Wong also stayed back. The two grandmasters just watched the battle from the sidelines.

Domon glanced at Wong. He could see that the orc was itchy to join the action. Wong was simply prideful. Domon had told him to go ahead but he refused. Domon was now trying a different approach.

"You truly don't want to join the battle?" Domon asked Wong. "Your adopted son must surely be there."

"He isn't my son!" Wong exclaimed.

Domon shook his head. This orc was truly stubborn.

"Since we have nothing to do, how about a spar?" Wong asked Domon.

Domon sighed and said, "We have been sparring almost every day. Didn't you get tired of it? I've told you already. If you want to go and join the battle. Just go. I simply don't feel like fighting at the moment."

Domon didn't say the true reason. If Domon said he didn't want to fight because he didn't want to bully what seemed to be a weaker opponent, Wong would surely not fight as well.

Wong looked ahead and was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be struggling with a decision. He finally said, "No."

Domon shook his head again.

"Okay, if you truly…"

Domon didn't finish his sentence. Both he and Wong jumped to the side as something fast came slamming from the sky.

The falling thing caused a dust cloud. When the dust settled, they saw it was Long in his enhanced dragon form.

"Master, how about we settle things for real this time?" Long said with a grin.
