Chapter 798 264 - At The Border Pass Of The Atreterve Nation (Part 3)

Lord Tencelion wasn't even given the chance to scream in pain – his body corroded so fast that it was already a half-melted skeleton when he tried to crawl up on all fours.

*KSHHHHHHH*

...and even those pitiful remains wasted away into the pink puddle the next second...

"Tsk. Telorius got away. Be a doll and finish the job while I reactivate the collars of our cute little commoner doggies~"

"Yes, ma'am!"

From the vantage point of the tower, a black-haired woman with a jet-black crystal embedded in her forehead clicked her tongue at the scene down below and caressed the shoulder of a burly gold-haired man in heavily enchanted armor.

The woman walked off to the side where a device, very similar to the ones that some soldiers of Atreterve nation were carrying, and began channeling her magic into it.

At the same time, the burly gold-haired man pointed his hand towards the figure of general Victureo down below. At his silent command, the additional magic crystals embedded in his armguard lighted up creating a large halo around the man's hand.

Then, the halo bloomed into a flower-like formation and...

*%#@[email protected]#$%^%$#@*

An oppressively powerful beam of light erupted out from the light magician's hand and washed over the radius equal to that of the tower base, ensuring that the mana-depleted lightning magician would have no chance of escape.

At roughly the same second the device the black-haired woman was operating released a low hum.

The magicians by the border had no chance to wonder what the flash of light by the watchtower was because the commoners they tried to disarm turned against them in a flash, killing off three-quarters of the wind magicians that were supposed to escort them away from the frontline. The controlled commoners moved forward, chancing their target to the fire, earth, and water magicians retaliating against the stagnant forces of the Atreterve nation, causing havoc and disrupting the coordinated counterattack.

Using the chance, the enemy forces arched forward with their barriers still raised...

"What the FUCK is going on here?!"

"!!!"

The light of the burly light magician's spell faded out revealing an extremely upset black-haired young man protectively holding onto a light corpse puppet.

"...who the hell are you...?!"

General Victureo who ended up being accidentally shielded from the surprise attack gasped utterly stunned, staring at the pair in disbelief.

"Who cares about that?! Aspy! Get us reinforcement as fast as possible! We're dealing with much worse shit than at the Perserios border!"

Zoemi scoffed at the lighting magician and shook the light corpse puppet's shoulders giving out instructions.

"O-okay!"

The gold-haired puppet nodded in exasperation and disappeared in a flash of light.

*%@^%#^%$#^%@##%*

"!!!"

Just in time, because another light beam was shot from the top of the watchtower – this one was much more condensed and focused right in the middle of Zoemi's chest – and angled in such a way that upon piercing through it would take general Victureo's head clean off.

*haaaaaaa*

Alas, that would be the case if the spell was able to even penetrate Zoemi's skin – which it didn't, breaking apart back into the particles of mana to the sound of a person breathing out in relief.

"..." *WHOOSH*

The black-haired young man gave up on commenting and instead he reached the tower in one empowered step.

The burly light magician didn't try to attack for the third time and instead threw himself towards the black-haired woman who was so focused on operating the device that she didn't realize what was going on... and then...

"Sagittarius." *CRUSH* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Zoemi muttered before punching at the base of the watchtower, breaking it apart and sending the whole building flying only for it to be swallowed by an eruption of silver light that followed the incantation.

Faster than the eye could blink the whole construction formerly reaching proudly into the sky was reduced to a hole in the ground where its ware foundation was originally laid.

"You...! You're on our side, right...?! Do not kill the commoners – they are being controlled by something!"

General Vicureo shook his head and called out to Zoemi trying to get over the shock that he experienced.

"I know. It's not something – they are controlled by the submission collars. They are hard to spot under the armor so don't kick yourself over not realizing it. While we're at it, you don't get yourself killed either..." *WHOOSH*

"...huh...?"

The young man said towards the shocked lighting magician before turning towards the border pass and disappearing with an insane burst of speed.

Before general Victureo managed to utter a word, Zozemi was already in the air above the battleground.

"LEO!" *THUMP*

The black-haired young man roared and the pressure of the oppressive aura he released turned physical causing an actual shockwave to wash over the soldiers below.

For a second the fighting completely stopped with the minds and wills of mages, commoners, and enchanters alike being completely suppressed by the star power on the supernova level.

But then a handful of soldiers on the Atreterve nation side began to move again – the artifact carriers frantically channeling mana to activate them.

"As if. Sagittarius."

*^%$#^%@^* *CRACK*

Zoemi scoffed causing dozens of silver pillars burst forth from the ground and swallow the artifact carriers and their cargo filling the area with the cacophony of unearthly sound of the channeled star power and the noise of the mana crystals shattering.

Still, the very fact that just being in contact with the mysterious magic devices was enough for anyone to escape the control of the law of Leo on the supernova level was worrisome enough.

"...!"

This was the first time that Zoemi had pushed himself so far with the law of Leo and the backlash was stronger than he expected.

Similar to spreading his consciousness thin for a prolonged amount of time with the law of Pisces, subduing so many minds all at once brought forth a great discomfort.

Dizziness, blurry vision, and an unexpected nosebleed to count the few most bothersome ones.

And that was with the law of Aries active.

If the defensive law was even a level lower, his action would push Zoemi into losing consciousness or even death.

"Virgo."

...but it wasn't the time to think about the possible bad endings – the black-haired youth called forth the healing star power and descended to the ground when...

"ZOEMI~!"

"?!?!?!"
