Abari had a dejected look on his face.
Obviously, he had not expected this Dark Magic to be so powerful.
What was even more unexpected was that he had become a sword in someone else’s hand, a sword that could be discarded after being used.
Gordon stood in front of the black line. A white light flashed from the motionless sceptre that he waved and shot into the sky above the black line.
The white light had a powerful purifying power and slowly corroded the blood-red words.
The black line in the sky also slowly faded.
Abali’s face was gloomy. The corner of his mouth twitched violently as if he had suffered a great blow.
At this moment, Molma and Clarence were overjoyed; The Lion Knights also shouted in unison. Mage Gordon was mighty!
At this moment, Chris blended into the darkness and revealed a cold smile.
If his magic energy was so easy to break, it would not be Dark Magic.
“Mage Gordon is awesome! Mage Gordon is Mighty!”
The Lion Knights cheered. They were all convinced by Gordon’s powerful strength.
“Teacher, we will definitely be able to take down the elves this time.”
Prince Clarence looked excited. He seemed to be imagining the elves submitting to the Sky Eagle Empire.
In his mind, the proud Elf Queen also submitted to him after enduring the fierce attack.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Clarence waved his hand and said, “Everyone, listen to my order. Lion Knights, assemble. Attack the elves in ten minutes.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Everyone began to move. At this moment, tens of thousands of dark elf members rushed over with magic bows and arrows strapped to their backs.
The densely packed team gave off a powerful aura.
After the army was assembled, they set off for the Heavenly Night Forest under Gordon’s lead.
However, in the next moment, someone in front of the team cried out in surprise.
“Look, what’s that…”
The Dark Magic that had just been purified had reappeared once again. Not only that, but now the Black Fog was also rising up.
A quarter of the army had already stepped onto the area afflicted by the Dark Magic. They looked at the fog rising up under their feet and cried out in fear.
“Damn it, it’s Dark Magic.”
“Didn’t wizard Gordon just purify this damn magic? Why did it appear again?”
“Not good, retreat quickly!”
At this moment, be it the Lion Knights or the Ruhr Magic Conductor, they were all sweating profusely.
They had witnessed the terror of this spell. In just a few short moments, their life force would be drained and they would turn into skeletons.
“Run, don’t block me from behind, retreat quickly!”
Someone shouted in fear. With that, the army that had just been formed instantly collapsed.
However, a quarter of the army had already crossed the black line. It was a huge mass, and they could not retreat just because they wanted to.
Gordon looked at the chaotic army of the Sky Eagle Empire. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
At the same time, he also could not understand why the dark energy that had just been purified would appear again.
Looking at the defeated knights, the veins on Prince Clarence’s face bulged. He was about to snap.
“AHHH… damn it, run!”
Crackling sounds came from the army, as if a demon was devouring bones.
In less than half a minute, hundreds of people had been devoured. They had turned into undead creatures and began attacking the other soldiers of the Heavenly Eagle Empire.
At this moment, Clarence was stunned. Morma looked at the knights who had suffered heavy casualties and wanted to rush forward, but she was afraid of the black gas that was everywhere.
Gordon roared and waved his staff, trying to stop the dark energy. However, it was useless. Every time he waved his magic staff, the black gas of death became thicker.
“Ah, I don’t want to die.”
“Save me, my hands are already like this.”
“My legs, my arms, I…”
Gordon roared and waved his magic staff madly, trying to stop the cruel black fog, but it was useless.
Suddenly, a cracking sound was heard, and the crystal on his staff shattered. At the same time the staff was broken into two halves.
Gordon was dumbfounded.
Looking at the elite soldiers who had suffered casualties amounting to more than half the contingent, he roared at the sky, “Damn it, can someone tell me what’s going on?”
These soldiers were all elites of the Sky Eagle Empire. They hadn’t attacked the elf group yet, but they had all been sacrificed here.
In the end, they hadn’t achieved anything.
Without these elites, how could they keep the empire safe? The ten great kingdoms of mankind weren’t like iron barrels. They all wanted to strengthen themselves and devour others.
Moreover, the Sky Eagle Empire was already in an awkward position of being at the bottom.
Now, without these elite soldiers, forget attacking the elves, even the safety of their own empire was up in the air.
Gordon was completely stunned. What had just happened completely exceeded his understanding.
Even the Staff of Stillness produced by the Spirit Tower was not a match for Dark Magic.
“How is this possible?”
“I don’t believe it!”
In the blink of an eye, half of the Army formed by the Sky Eagle Empire and the night elves had already died.
The soldiers who had transformed into undead creatures slashed at the ones who had yet to transform. In a cruel cycle, the soldiers who were close to them were killed before they could react.
The soldiers of the Sky Eagle Empire never expected to not die on the battlefield, but at the hands of their own people instead.
This tragic scene continued playing out. Soon, there were only 6,000 soldiers left from the 20,000 soldiers just a moment ago.
“Gulp!” Clarence sucked in a breath of cold air. He was glad that he did not personally go on the expedition. If he did, he would undoubtedly be on the casualty list.
He was already scared silly, and had long forgotten about conquering the Heavenly Night Forest.
As he stared at those ferocious undead creatures, there was only fear in his eyes.
However, the soldiers who had transformed into undead creatures did not care about these things. In their eyes, they only knew how to fight.
The battle continued until the next morning. The undead creatures that were crazily fighting the group were finally eliminated by the survivors–Gordon, Morma, and Abari were among them.
Unfortunately, the Sky Eagle Empire and the night elves had paid a heavy price.
The Sky Eagle Empire now numbered less than 5,000 people, including the night elves’ troops. These people included the injured warriors, who could no longer fight.
Two-thirds of the magic conductors had died in the battle.
The Lion Knights of Morma had suffered heavy losses, and there were less than 2,000 of them left.
However, the Night Elves had suffered the greatest losses. Of the 10,000 elves they had brought with them, less than 1,500 remained.
Abari was dumbfounded.
They had come to help the Sky Eagle Empire attack the elves, but they had already lost 8,500 people before they even entered the forest. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were wiped out.
“Is this the punishment that the Heavens are enacting on us for violating the Hidden Tower Alliance?”
Gordon looked up at the sky and muttered to himself.
