Chapter 98: The Return of Sylvus
Sylvus had already disappeared.
To Grey, it seemed Sylvus had turned to ashes under the powerful attack just now.
"I thought Sylvus had some abilities, but he turned out to be so weak. He was killed so easily by the Divine Lord."
"It\'s not that Sylvus is too weak, it\'s that the Divine Lord is too powerful. Even with just an avatar, his power is beyond our imagination."
"With such powerful force just now, even we would have turned to ashes. How strong is the Divine Lord really?"
Seeing Grey still standing, Ailer and the others breathed a sigh of relief, smiles appearing on their faces.
It seemed that the rumors in the Holy City about Sylvus\'s great strength were exaggerated.
Look, he was directly killed by their Divine Lord.
"Ha ha ha..."
"What end are you talking about?"
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
Sylvus\'s figure slowly appeared not far from Grey.
At this moment, Sylvus held a handful of sunflower seeds, casually eating them as he spoke.
Apparently, he had been so idle earlier that he decided to snack on them.
Grey, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly froze.
Then he looked at Sylvus with disbelief.
"You, you\'re not dead?"
That powerful force earlier had reached the level of a lower deity, and even his avatar could not withstand it.
Yet Sylvus?
This guy clearly had no aura of a deity-level powerhouse, but he remained completely unharmed under such might.
Not even his clothes were torn.
Could it be that this guy\'s strength had already reached the level of a higher deity?
Was that why Grey couldn\'t see through his power?
"This guy is completely unharmed. How is this possible? Even the Divine Lord\'s avatar is on the verge of vanishing."
"What level of power has Sylvus reached? Could he really rival the Divine Lord?"
"Impossible. The Divine Lord\'s power is too great. This is only an avatar. If the real body came, it would definitely kill this guy."
The experts from the Dark Elf clan also looked at Sylvus with astonished faces.
It was already surprising enough that Sylvus was alive, but to be completely unscathed was simply ridiculous.
"Quick, retreat!"
As the leader of the Dark Elf clan, Ailer\'s face turned pale as he spoke.
This caused those around him to look confused.
"Leader, why are we retreating?"
Ailer gritted his teeth.
"Stop asking questions and have all the clansmen leave immediately. This guy can even withstand the Divine Lord\'s avatar; if we delay, we won\'t be able to escape later."
Hearing this, everyone came to their senses.
Indeed!
Sylvus was unharmed, while the Divine Lord\'s avatar was already shattered.
Once Sylvus finished dealing with the avatar, he would definitely come for them.
With their strength, how could they possibly match Sylvus?
"Let\'s go!"
The members of the Dark Elf clan began retreating in droves without hesitation.
Even those who didn\'t understand the situation dared not ask more questions.
"Trying to leave? Did you ask me for permission?"
Sylvus, of course, noticed this scene, and a smile appeared on his face.
"System, activate Celestial Fire Meteor!"
[System Notification: Host used Celestial Fire Meteor, target selected successfully, Forbidden Spell cast successfully!]
"..."
As the system\'s voice fell, under Sylvus\'s gaze, a large mass of fiery clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.
The previously dim space became extremely bright, and a powerful energy roiled within the clouds.
"This… This is a Forbidden Spell! Everyone, run! I will hold off the Forbidden Spell!"
Sensing the changes in the sky, Ailer\'s heart shook.
He didn\'t expect that Sylvus would directly unleash a Forbidden Spell.
Even though he was a powerhouse at the level of a Mage Ruler, it would still take about a minute of chanting to cast a Forbidden Spell.
Unlike Sylvus, who could just cast it instantly.
"Leader, let us resist with you!"
The Saint Archmages and Mage Emperors of the Dark Elf clan all stopped to speak.
Ailer nodded. With such a powerful Forbidden Spell, he feared he wouldn\'t be able to fully resist it alone.
"Radiant Barrier!"
"..."
With a burst of magical power from Ailer, a massive transparent barrier appeared in the sky.
The other experts of the Dark Elf clan also released their magical power, making the barrier even more resilient.
"Rumble..."
Soon, a hundred thousand meteors fell from the fiery clouds onto the barrier.
Ailer and the others gritted their teeth, barely managing to block these meteors.
However, cracks had already begun to appear on the barrier.
"Crack..."
"You\'re not going to save them?"
Sylvus stood where he was, still eating his sunflower seeds, as he turned to Grey with a smile.
Grey\'s eyes were filled with coldness.
Of course, he wanted to save them, but the problem was, he had no power left now.
Although he could transmit another burst of energy from his main body, Sylvus was right there, and it wouldn\'t make a difference.
"If you\'re not going to save them, then I\'ll take action."
Seeing Grey remain silent, Sylvus smiled slightly.
The Celestial Hand Cannon reappeared in his hand.
This time, it was loaded with a Divine Punishment energy block, capable of wiping out even a Mage Ruler in a single shot.
"Boom..."
With a thought, a bolt of lightning flashed across the Celestial Hand Cannon, rapidly striking toward Ailer in the distance.
If he could take down Ailer, the barrier would collapse on its own.
By then, even if there were many Mage Emperors among the Dark Elf clan, they would be unable to withstand the Forbidden Spell\'s power.
"Not good, everyone, use all your power!"
Seeing the lightning approaching, Ailer\'s face turned pale.
He had a feeling that no matter how much power he used, he wouldn\'t be able to block that lightning.
"Everyone!"
They all gritted their teeth, pouring all their power into the barrier, which turned milky white from its original translucent form.
"Crack..."
But when the lightning struck the barrier, it didn\'t even hold for a moment.
It shattered instantly, and the lightning continued straight toward Ailer.
"No, run!"
Seeing the barrier shatter, Ailer\'s heart sank, and he flew backward with a cry.
But soon he despaired.
No matter where he fled, the lightning would find him, and it was faster than him.
"No!!!"
"..."
A few moments later, with Ailer\'s terrified expression, the lightning struck him directly.
Accompanied by a deafening boom, Ailer\'s body shattered instantly.
A Mage Ruler had fallen!
