Fire Mage (Web Novel)

Chapter 533: Betrayal

Divine Order members activated their class skills as they landed on the graveyard and transformed into shadow-like humans.

Their skin turned darker and rougher, their height rose from two to three meters tall, and their bodies also enlarged more like alien figures with illusionary dark wings. They had eerie black hands and dark eyes.

Two eerie black horns appeared on their foreheads, and they looked more like devils. Among those beings were a few devil-like humans who had unique red-crystalline horns and looked taller than the rest.

All of them were [Shadow Killer] Class Mystics!

Although they looked more like corrupted creatures, they were human mystics. But unlike others, they chose the chaos faction and became half-chaotic humans who longed for death and destruction.

They were evil humans who would go any length to achieve their goals and were wickeder.

The normal shadow humans were Rank-5 [Shadow Devils] Mystics, while the unique shadow humans were Rank-6 [Death Phantoms] Mystics.

After transformation, they madly rushed towards the nearby people and attacked the nearby Mages.

Not only that, but they also created strange illusionary clones and tried their best to confuse everyone.

Meanwhile, the mourners also woke up from the shock and started retaliating while casting powerful defensive spells. Layers of defensive spells like Ice Walls, Flame Shells, and Wind Armors appeared everywhere and blocked the assault of the Divine Order members.

At that moment, there were even lightning bolts, fire rays, and dark bolts that appeared here and there and destroyed the nearby trees and stone slabs in a matter of seconds.

The whole graveyard turned into a chaotic land.

Screams and shouts echoed as the cowardly ones ran in panic while the brave ones stood firm and battled against the sudden ambush. Weapons and spells clashed against each other and caused explosions everywhere.

Soon, the Divine Order members realized that they were not all-powerful.

Although the [Shadow Killer] mystics were brutal with their attacks, their skill didn't have much power to cause any large-scale damage. All they could do was use their devil form to attack the enemies physically, distract them using illusionary clones and confuse them, and then teleport from there using shadows.

Charles knew about the [Shadow Killer] Class Mystics' three skills and felt strange about their current action.

'What are they trying to achieve? The black-robed mages and Marvin had already killed Demigod Rafael, right? It looks more like a suicidal mission. Even if they use their full strength, they are no match for those Legend and Pseudo Legend Powerhouses.' After all, most of the mages in this city were peerless geniuses and had much experience in battles.

'Unless... It might be just a distraction.' He thought inwardly.

As Charles was about to take action, he suddenly noticed that a total of five old Legend Rank Powerhouses walked out of the gathered group and started confronting the black-robed Mages from the Destiny Conquerors. Although more than 25 Legend Rank powerhouses gathered in that area, Charles felt these five people might be at a different level than the rest.

The mere presence of those five elders caused the Destiny Conqueror Mages to take a few steps back.

All five elders wore unique white-robe, appeared to be around 60 to 70 years old, and looked very powerful.

"I never thought you guys would side with the Chaos Faction and become the traitors of this city, Mateo." One of the five elders spoke in a rough male voice.

Meanwhile, a black-robed mage let out a creaky laugh and spoke.

"Kekekeh, Traitors? Tell me, Nolan. Who betrayed the world's Will and side with the foreign gods during the Ancient Era? Who massacred the Wood Elves and caused genocide? Who killed our three Divine Beasts and seriously weakened the world's Will?"

"That was done in the past, Mateo. If you were so angry about that, you guys should've at least acted during the First Arcane Era and killed the 24 Noble Warlords who created this city. But not only did you keep quiet all this time, you guys even took over the Tower of Curses and acted like saints. All those sixteen members of Destiny Conquerors are nothing but cowardly old men who hide behind the new generations and always play victim cards." Elder Nolan spoke coldly and added.

"Do you know what will happen once the Lawful Gods heard about the fall of Demigod Rafael? The Churches will invade this city and take everything in the Towers."

"You don't have to worry about that, Elder Nolan. Demigod Miguel will take over Rafael's position and become the new president." Mateo refuted, but Elder Nolan cut him off angrily.

"So it was his idea, huh. No wonder I couldn't contact Emerson earlier. Tell me, Mateo! Do you trust the Chaos Faction would help achieve your goal? How foolish can you be?"

"Sorry, Elder Nolan. But I trust our Conquerors' decision."

The three black-robed mages released their wisdom power as Mateo spoke and flew towards the sky.

"Mida, Samuel. Stay here and take care of these vermins. Meanwhile, we will go and kill those traitors!" Elder Nolan spoke coldly and flew after those black-robed mages.

Another two Legend Rank Mages released their wisdom power the next instant and flew towards the sky.

On the other hand, the remaining two Legend Mages named Mida and Samuel shifted their attention towards the surroundings and confronted the Divine Order members' attacks.

It was more like a one-sided slaughter. Although Divine Order members managed to catch the City Mages off-guard, they failed to realize the true strength of this city.

Unlike the Mages from the mainland, the Mages in the City of Miracles were well-experienced in battles and had battled against demons, devils, and other races during planar invasions. Once they moved to a safer position, the mages started their counterattack.

In a blink, tens of Rank-5 and even a few Rank-6 spells appeared from all directions and landed on the Divine Order members one by one before disintegrating them into pieces!

Some Divine Order members tried to flee the battlefield, but the mages chased them and killed them brutally.

At that moment, powerful explosions echoed in the sky, followed by shockwaves and spatial ripples all over the areas. Freezing ice arrows, fire rays, invisible blades, and many more powerful spells came from the sky and caused destruction everywhere.

It was a total mess.

At that moment, Charles also heard multiple explosions from different parts of the city and furrowed his brows.

After that, he released his wisdom power, enveloped the Underground District, and scanned everything.

He saw that the Divine Order members were raiding more than 15 places like Airport, Security Building, Arcane Bank, and other public properties and destroying everything.

Witnessing this, Charles stood up from the bench and spoke to Jessie telepathically.

'Get away from here.'
