Chapter 1370 The Final Battle Against Merlinus Finally Begins!
-----
"[Mystic Bellflower Tree Dreamscape]"
I activated the Soul Trait I created just for this moment, using large quantities of Mana and Spirit Energy, while being completely unseen outside.
To any other person, even the sharpest of magicians with the best senses, they could only see a normal woman spreading her arms, nothing else.
And indeed, to the world itself, it seemed as if nothing had happened at all, there was no flashy effect, nothing.
Yet, the power existed, and it worked.
I could see it, part of my mind was within another world entirely, a world of Dreams.
There, condensing pink and purple energies constantly moved and swirled around, and a giant, purple-colored bellflower tree rested above me.
Its flowers also sounded like bells, ringing down as the ability was fully activated.
The sound resonated within people's minds, as the Domain that nobody could see expanded across the World of Dreams.
FLAAASH!
"Huh? What's that?"
"Did you hear something?"
"Like a bell?"
The people began talking with one another, noticing something, getting sleepier. They slowly walked towards fences or their houses nearby, some even just sat down on the floor.
And then, slowly, everyone fell asleep, yes, everyone within the city.
The city, all of its bustling noise…
Fell completely silent, eerily so.
The taverns full of music and people laughing and drinking, the bards singing in the plaza, and more.
Yeah, even at midnight, there was a lot of noise in such a big city.
And even then, all gone now.
I saw through the Dream World, that people's minds began manifesting around, wondering what was happening, they were confused.
"A great battle is about to begin."
I spoke through the tree, startling thousands of people as they appeared one after another.
Everyone could hear my voice at the same time.
"One that could destroy even your entire city…"
I looked at their eyes.
"I'm sorry, but you must be evacuated to safety. Your minds and your bodies will be moved away momentarily."@@novelbin@@
As I continued speaking, the bellflower tree emerged from portals within the dreams of every person, grabbing their bodies and pulling them into the Dream World.
The people and their bodies merged automatically, as they instantly fell asleep again within the Dream World itself now.
Silence fell once more.
"Now…"
I quickly moved to the next step, I considered everything and calculated the amount of people in the city.
There's at least almost a million people.
Yeah, the Yggdrasil's interior can't handle so much.
Let's move them all to the forest, it's below my control and even the wilderness that isn't inhabited is safe as nature protects whoever I tell it to.
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
Through the portal I had previously created inside the Dream World, something I had tested before, the people were instantly teleported within the gigantic plaza of the Fairy Queendom.
The fairies glanced as countless people appeared one after another, resting over the floor… it was a sight to behold.
Yes, it was very rough and all, but this was the best option we could have.
Everything took roughly three minutes to complete.
By now, Merlinus should've realized what was happening, but he wasn't appearing or something, probably simply observing or trying to figure out what had exactly happened.
I won't give him the time to even react.
"It's done."
I sent the telepathic message to the King and the rest of the Generals.
"Begin the attack."
Camilla gave her command, and I obeyed her majesty.
"Merlinus!"
I roared to the skies, as I manifested a massive Yggdrasil Cannon from my own body, pointing at his damned tower.
I activated the [Divine Yggdrasil Cannon Of Destruction] Skill at the same time as I instantly spread my Domain and my Territory Tiles to its very extreme.
I activated dozens of Skills at the same time, summoning thousands of spirits, draconic beasts, draconic farm spirits, divine elemental spirits, summer and spring guardian spirits, everything!
The soldiers around the city gasped as they saw the massive army I summoned, five thousand strong.
"There's nowhere to run away. There are no more hostages for you… And the only thing you have left is to fight!"
I confronted him even though he had yet to appear.
I knew he was there.
I knew he was looking at me!
"COME OUT AND FIGHT TO THE DEATH WITH ME!"
And I fired the cannon after loading it with one thousand spirits and all my Mana at once.
TRUUUM!
A massive colorful cannon was fired, massive and capable of destroying a whole city itself!
It reached the tower, instantly generating a titanic explosion.
BOOOMMM!!!
I noticed a gigantic, and powerful invisible barrier around the entire tower, as the tower began to tremble.
The barriers made of space started to tremble, gaining cracks and shattering apart one after another.
"It's not going to work! I'll split that tower of yours in half!"
RUMBLE!
The entire tower suddenly received the cannon attack, as its half was pierced.
There was now a massive hole through the entire damned tower.
The menace that has been looming before everyone…
It was pierced with my full power.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Countless explosions followed across the entire tower as whatever was inside began to rapidly be destroyed from the damage dealt inside.
The upper half of the tower collapsed, falling down into the ground, shattering into countless pieces and sending a massive shockwave through the city.
CRAAASH!
The lower half that remained standing, was now covered on spiritual flames, beginning to slowly collapse on itself.
"Y-You really cut the whole tower in half?!" The Queen gasped. "This is-"
"Be on your guards! He's here!"
I immediately noticed his presence.
He was looking at us above the skies already!
"YOU UNGRATEFUL… YOU DAMNED…!"
He was raging furiously!
And he resembled just what I imagined.
An old man, with a normal-sized body, a very long white beard, and a face full of wrinkles.
But his long hair, bread, and eyebrows waved by the wind, and the shockwaves produced by his tremendous magical aura.
"YOU DARE DESTROY MY TOWER, YOU LOWLY PATHETIC ANTS?!"
RUMBLE!
His voice alone sent ripples across space, spreading countless cracks through the fabric of space.
"You… the King, the Queen! Is this treason?! Are you betraying the Magician Guild?!"
He roared furiously, his eyes growing red.
"After everything we've done to help this Kingdom raise where it is now?!"
As he kept roaring angrily, he summoned a staff made of black steel, with a demonic skull on top.
"Merlinus Arcanus Defiagra, you are hereby sentenced to death after betraying the royal family and for multiple assassination and kidnaping attempts towards the King, the Queen, the Prince, and all their allies and associated soldiers, knights, paladins, and also for the constant murder and experimentation of civilians!"
The Queen immediately declared his punishment.
Death!
Her aura expanded, as a sea of blood manifested around her, lifting her up in the skies with all of us!
We met with him eye to eye.
"Y-You…! You have any proof of-"
"Stop with your bullshit," I said. "We know everything, and we're going to kill you right now, Merlinus."
"Hah…" Merlinus smiled, laughing. "Hahaha… HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
He completely lost his mind, unable to even refute our words anymore.
His Aura expanded, it was so grand it resembled a tower of pure Mana reaching the skies above, several kilometers big.
"You truly believe you can kill me?!" he kept laughing. "I wanted to keep this city for a bit longer it had all the resources I needed! But so be it! If you want death, I shall bring you death! I'll scatter your guts around the city and paint this damned kingdom with the blood of the royal family and all their braindead servants! Especially you… YGGDRASIL!"
RUMBLE!
As he stated what he would do, he immediately pointed his hand at us.
"{High Spacetime Magic}: {Spatial Compression}!"
TRUUUM!
Space around us compressed to an immense degree, as it aimed to completely crush us to death.
So this is true power. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire
Mostly anybody else would be just unable to even respond to this.
The worst part was that the space being distorted became unstable, no teleportation or flashy movements could get us out of here.
"DIEEE!"
And yet…
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
His eyes widened when his Spell was destroyed by my bare hands.
The power of the Demon Prince's Skill dwelling within me.
"You stopped it…?!"
I smiled back at him.
"Don't think we have not prepared for this moment, Merlinus!"
I charged forward, everyone else right behind me.
"If you think that just because you stopped my spell you're strong, you're sorely mistaken."
He smiled, waving his staff as hundreds of black and red portals opened around him.
From there, hundreds of magicians emerged, with demonic appearances, alongside many aberrations and mutated, patchwork creatures they had created in their laboratories.
"Destroy this city! Kill everyone! Devour everyone! Splatter their blood across the streets and bathe in their guts! Spare nobody!" he roared. "Today, the Luminous Royal Family will pay for their treason!"
