The attack was sudden.
The warship was protected by Formation Arts, numerous Magic Tools, and Artifacts but as soon as the attack from the unknown person arrived, they realized that those things were useless!
In a blink of an eye, one of the warships seems to have twisted for a moment before splitting into two!
"W-what happened?"
"Help!"
"We're dropping!"
"Move out!"
Some people on the deck started panicking as they saw their ship start dropping.
Luckily, the engines are still somehow working so they have some time to adjust. As soon as they realized that the airship has no way of being saved, many of them immediately pulled out their life-saving treasures.
As for those who don't have, they can only pray that the airship wouldn't explode or their natural mana shield can keep them alive from the fall.
The people within the Nidite City witnessed all of this happening.
Although it happened so quickly, they were all paying attention to what was happening above them so they were able to see a figure wearing a magician's robe fly close to the warship…
As everyone thought that he died, he reappeared somewhere else and the warship has already split into two…
"Incredible… Is that a Celestial?"
"No… The Celestials haven't acted yet…"
"Ahh… They're here!"
Suddenly, a group of female warriors dashed to where Ignacy was!
That's right, the ones who made a move this time were the Celestial Beings inside the warships!
There were five of them in total and they are all wearing a uniform of the Black Magic Organization. They have similar Magic Tools as they dashed toward the Grand Magus…
The reason the spectators believed that they are Celestials was simply because of their gender and their bravery to face the man who split the warship in a few seconds.
Who would dare attack a man capable of controlling space?
Seeing the female figures, they can only think of Celestial Beings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
During this time, the other two warships didn't stop attacking… The barrier continued trembling as numerous Mana Crystals are being consumed.
That's right, aside from the Magicians constantly pouring Mana into the formation core, there's also a Mana Gathering Formation that quickly replenishes the power of the formation.
It uses Mana Crystals but at this point, Lola doesn't care!
She remained calm in front of the enemies and observed the battlefield carefully…
After Ignacy successfully dealt with the warship, his Mana significantly decreased and she could easily feel this change.
As soon as the enemy Celestials targeted Ignacy, she immediately informed her master through their special connection. Ignacy has to lower his altitude so their cannons and Mana Arts could support him.
Furthermore, Lola also has a Formation Art that can bind the Celestials for a few seconds so Ignacy doesn't have to sacrifice himself…
Whoosh… Whoosh… Whoosh…
Several Grand Magus flew above to support Ignacy's retreat.
They may not be capable of flying quickly but they are still experts in various fields. After they reached the highest altitude where the formation can still protect them, various Tier 5 Mana Arts were seen.
With a total of fourteen Grand Magus in Nidite City, six of them flew above and used their strongest long-range Mana Arts to kill the Celestials chasing Ignacy…
Strong fluctuations of energy reverberated throughout the whole city as six pillars of light struck out!
The six Grand Magus that had just appeared were all working for Lola Hamblin… They have one thing in common and that is the Tier 5 Mana Art they've mastered.
Soul Decimation!
The attack seem to have hit Ignacy as well since he was on the same path as the Celestials. He was covered by the light!
It momentarily dumbfounded the spectators since they thought that the group of Grand Magus had made a mistake.
Luckily, Ignacy was aware of this plan and had disappeared in time. He reappeared about 300 meters away from the pillars of light and was slowly descending back to the city.
As for the Celestial Beings that were hit by the pillars of light, the people below believe that even if they did not die, they would be incapable of further continuing the battle.
After a while, the pillars of light dissipated. This time, the bombardment had also halted because they had to move away from their position…
"What?!"
"They're still alive?!"
"How can they survive that attack?!"
"As expected of Celestials…"
The crowd exclaimed as soon as they saw the floating Celestials. They have focused on defense and stopped chasing after Ignacy. They remained floating above the city and overlooking the whole surroundings.
Their imposing presence made many of them hold their weapons tightly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The flying warship finally dropped to the ground close to the city… It created several explosions and countless pieces of debris were thrown into the barrier of the city.
With this explosion, even the Black Magic Organization had to stop and ensure their safety…
Then after the situation calmed down, the five Celestials above seem to have received an order as they immediately descended… They put a distance from the city so the attacks from the magicians with a limited range wouldn't reach them at all.
This baffled many of the stationed soldiers but they can only guess that the Celestials can't fly up again for some reason and needed to descend safely.
After a while, someone finally noticed that a weird situation is happening on the two remaining iron warships…
Groups of people were fleeing the warships…
They seem to be abandoning the warship which is quite weird since it hadn't received any significant damage at all.
Lola was confused by this situation as well. Nevertheless, she didn't relax and ordered the controller of the Mage Tower to use their Mana Cannons!
"Hurry up! I have a bad feeling about it." Lola reminded her subordinate using her communication crystal as she recalled something about this particular move of the enemies.
They might think of directly slamming the warship to their Formation Art!
That would be a disaster!
