Chapter 144 - Chapter 144: After the Battle, Shocking All Directions

While the Totem Black Snake was heading toward the high-altitude battlefield to confront the Silver Sky Lord.

Fang Yu arrived atop the western fortress walls to help defend them.

When the Totem Black Snake entered the battlefield, he had already climbed down from its body.

After all, that was a battlefield between Monarch-level creatures, not something a High-Tier Mage like him could meddle in.

Fang Yu looked across the battlefield.

Flocks upon flocks of White Magic Eagles were launching relentless assaults.

He did not simply stand by and watch. Instead, he immediately cast spells to resist them.

High-Tier Ice and Space Magic were unleashed one after another. Although he killed many White Magic Eagles, his strength alone could not change the course of the battle.

This was the White Magic Eagle army, an overwhelming advantage in sheer numbers. At this moment, the human side was at a disadvantage.

Not long afterward, Fang Yu happened to spot Leng Qing being surrounded and besieged.

There were so many White Magic Eagles that they resembled a massive cloud of gray dust.

Although Leng Qing was already an exceptionally powerful High-Tier Mage, she had joined the battlefield too early, and her magical energy had been heavily depleted. Before long, she would inevitably be defeated and reduced to nothing more than a beautiful skeleton.

Fang Yu hurriedly cast a spell.

Silver radiance flickered within his eyes as he drew one silver magic constellation after another.

"Blink!"(High-Tier Level 1 Space Element)

Seven silver constellations connected together as silver brilliance erupted.

Fang Yu's figure blurred within the opened spatial passage. As the light reached its peak, he suddenly vanished from where he stood and appeared beside Leng Qing in the blink of an eye.

"Little Snow Maiden, wipe them out!"

A tiny and exquisite icy crystal figure flew out. Around her body was a layer of icy crown frost that gradually expanded outward. The moment it touched the White Magic Eagles, their wings and bodies were instantly frozen solid.

Very quickly, blue ice as cold as the deepest frozen abyss spread through the flock like wildfire. The violent frost dyed the entire area icy blue in a short moment. The White Magic Eagles simply could not withstand such terrifying low temperatures. Dozens of White Magic Eagles turned into ice sculptures and died amidst the raging froststorm!

But the attack was not over yet.

The Little Snow Maiden exerted her power once more. Endless snow and ice drifted through the sky as frost condensed into swords. Countless icy swords appeared again and shot outward in every direction, clearing all White Magic Eagles within ten meters. Their corpses covered the ground.

Only after the battle ended did Fang Yu look toward Leng Qing and ask,"You alright?"

"I'm fine. It's just this western fortress…" Leng Qing said seriously.

Although she did not finish her sentence, Fang Yu understood what she meant. Leng Qing believed they were no longer able to hold the fortress.

Honestly, from the current situation, that really did seem to be the case.

However, she had underestimated the Totem Black Snake and overestimated the Silver Sky Lord.

With the Totem Black Snake present, the Silver Sky Lord was no match for it. On top of that, the creature itself was extremely afraid of death. There was no way it would continue fighting to the bitter end, it would only choose to flee.

Before long, the Totem Black Snake would free itself from the battle, and these White Magic Eagles would no longer pose any threat.

Meanwhile, in the high-altitude battlefield, events were unfolding exactly as Fang Yu had expected.

After being repeatedly beaten around, the Silver Sky Lord had finally grown a bit smarter. Seizing an opportunity, it spread its wings and escaped the Totem Black Snake's line of sight, flying rapidly toward the higher skies.

However.

This was all intentional on the Totem Black Snake's part. It was simply letting it struggle around a little longer before showing it what true despair meant.

At this moment, the Silver Sky Lord had already flown over a thousand meters into the sky.

But at the same time, the Totem Black Snake's figure also began to fade away, like a reflection in water slowly dispersing beneath ripples.

It disappeared completely, its massive body leaving no trace behind!

While ascending, the Silver Sky Lord had been constantly paying attention to the Totem Black Snake's movements. It deeply feared this giant serpent, and the Totem Black Snake's disappearance immediately filled it with unease.

Sure enough, a blue-black mist had already enveloped the sky above it, and the Totem Black Snake was swimming within that mist!

Circling around a central point, it traced an enormous ring through the air. Along the path it traveled, it left behind a blue-black outline connected from head to tail.

The area enclosed by that outline covered several kilometers around the Silver Sky Lord. The markings, patterns, and ancient symbols on the Totem Black Snake's scales densely spread throughout the circular formation. From afar, it resembled a heaven-covering Bagua diagram filled with countless ancient curse inscriptions.

That intangible power gradually solidified, condensing into one ancient stone monument after another.

With a thunderous roar, the Heavenly Monument Seal crashed down violently, striking directly onto the Silver Sky Lord's back. It was like a meteor falling from the heavenly palace into the mortal world, carrying apocalyptic might!

"BOOOOMMMMM~~~~~~~"

The Silver Sky Lord was instantly suppressed. The gravity field from the Earth Element magic made a single monument seal as heavy as several mountain ranges stacked together!

Even the earth could not bear the burden and collapsed inward, forming a circular abyss splattered with the Silver Sky Lord's blood.

After being heavily injured by the Totem Black Snake, no matter how furious the Silver Sky Lord was, it no longer dared to attack this city again.

Covered in blood, the Silver Sky Lord let out a shrill cry, ordering the White Magic Eagle army to retreat.

At the same time, the Silver Sky Lord spread its wings and flew rapidly westward, fleeing in panic.

"Jia~~~~~~~~"

The Totem Black Snake did not pursue the Silver Sky Lord. It possessed far too many life-saving abilities, and chasing after it would be meaningless.

It merely raised its proud serpent monarch head and released a roar that echoed across the heavens and the earth!

The sound reverberated in all directions, serving as a declaration. On one hand, it announced that the ruler of the Western Ridge, the Silver Sky Lord, had been defeated by it. On the other hand, it warned all surrounding demons that this was the city under its protection.

At last, the city's atmosphere of panic and alarm was finally lifted.

"That's the giant sky serpent!"

"It protected us!"

Throughout the entire city, because of its enormous body, nearly everyone could clearly see the Totem Black Snake's awe-inspiring and majestic figure, its imposing presence standing alone against ten thousand foes.

If it had been before, when the officials claimed that the giant sky serpent held no hostility toward humans and was actually protecting them, people would only have scoffed in disbelief. After all, the terror of demons was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

But now, things were different.

They had personally witnessed the Totem Black Snake blocking countless White Magic Eagles from approaching the city. They had also seen it repel the invading Silver Sky Lord, forcing it to retreat in disgrace while turning the tide of the battle and keeping every threat outside the city's borders.

With the danger eliminated, the Totem Black Snake arrived atop the Western Fortress's city wall.

Its enormous head gazed at the people standing upon the wall. Suddenly, it opened its cavern-like mouth.

Councilman Zhu Meng's beard twitched upward as his entire body tensed in vigilance. The glow of magic had already begun to appear around him.

But the Totem Black Snake instead regurgitated several clumps of something from its stomach, almost like it was spitting them back out.

Those disgusting-looking lumps, covered in stomach acid, rolled onto the ground before everyone.

"They look like people…" Tang Zhong said in astonishment.

The moment Zhu Meng heard that, fury immediately appeared on his face. Pointing at the Totem Black Snake, he shouted,"So you really do eat people! Even if I have to risk this old life today, I'll still bring you to justice!"

Zhu Meng's imposing aura was certainly intimidating, but he still did not dare make a move. Forget his current injured state, even at full strength, he would not have been a match for the Totem Black Snake.

Seeing how sensitive Zhu Meng was acting, Fang Yu could not help but laugh.

"Relax. That's Luo Mian and his subordinates."

Only then did everyone carefully inspect those human-shaped figures wrapped in stomach acid. Suddenly, the bodies twitched and moved.

The acid had already corroded huge portions of their skin and flesh, yet they were somehow still alive.
