Sky Fall Legend 124 The Battle At Purple Sky Tower Plaza! 2

"Will the brat really be okay?" asked Joovee Nile with doubt in his voice. He couldn't afford to be complacent when it came to Jodye Trill. "If they made a move I think they've already decided to disregard our agreement. I've been receiving death threats and threats to my family since we walked in. They all want my cooperation in dealing with you. Luckily, we already recovered my family, or this would be a real headache. They should be just probing me to see if I feel panicked or enraged."

"Yes, and we have that same brat to thank for the safe pa.s.sage of your mother and sister. If my apprentice wants to go off alone, we should let him. He is capable. After all, it's true that the main targets will be us this time. In such a situation, is it really safer for him to follow us?" Sigma Octanis looked aloof and totally unbothered by the myriad changes of the world. "We should focus instead on taking advantage of their belief that you will betray me at the critical moment. That is the moment we must take down Garuda.

"He likely just wanted to play with that little doll, the brat," Joovee Nile mused as he accepted the fact that Jodye was safer the further away from them he was today. Although he joked, Sigma's words left him feeling more rea.s.sured. The boy was probably going to be okay. After all, with that magical beast summon present, Joovee Nile himself couldn't easily slaughter the brat, let alone any cannon fodder from White Serpent Cove. That kid's Heavenly Grimoire seemed...a bit different from Joovee's own, "Anyway, with my imperial lifeblood limit, I can get to him quickly enough."

"Will your mother and the princess be okay in the north?" Sigma asked Joovee as they both saluted the gates at the Purple Sky Tower Plaza's final checkpoint.

"My mother is from the north originally and the Limitless Buddha Temple should be the only ones who can properly train my sister in all of Pangaea," replied the Neofrost Master as his aura suddenly turned ice cold. Origin essence qi momentum started to manifest around his body, and a pitch-black heavenly grimoire covered in nefarious symbols and skulls appeared in front of him, "We all have our own path to walk. I have helped her step onto her own path, and now I will have to continue my own path as well."

"I fear I will need to trouble you with taking care of my apprentice until I return," Sigma Octanis similarly had origin forces charging up around his body as the two men exited the checkpoint. The surrounding warriors and normal people in the crowd quickly put distance between themselves and these two men who were clearly up to no good. Joovee Nile scoffed at Sigma, but the latter waved him off. "We were bound to depart soon anyway. This way, Ca.s.san can mentor Aiken while I handle our affairs and return first. Since White Serpent Cove wants to turn their blades towards us, we will fight them to the death then. Here, give Jodye this pendant if I do not have time to retrieve it from you."

Sigma handed Joovee golden necklace with a pendant made up of heavenly white jade. Joovee eyes widened and he carefully put the pendant in his interspatial ring. If Sigma wasn't his partner and there wasn't a heavenly judgment awaiting, Joovee would never deliver this rare material to another.

"My sister would never forgive me if anything happened to that brat anyway," grumbled Joovee Nile under his breath. River Nile had reminded him endlessly to take good care of Jodye in her place. Only by swearing an oath could he convince her to leave. He who had never sworn to anyone before had sworn far too many oaths since meeting this brat Jodye.

"Leaving so soon?" a sinister and manly voice rumbled through the crowd, the qi within this sound wave sent people flying away before Joovee Nile's already fierce origin qi momentum quickly countered the sound wave. After it dispersed, two silhouettes could be seen standing on arcane curse circles in the sky above the Sigma duo. Garuda wore a serious face as if he were facing a great enemy. He waved his hand, and hundreds of martial warriors spilled out from every direction tightly surrounding Sigma and Joovee.

Leading these warriors was none other than Roger Flankz who approached Sigma slowly, "Hand over the items, and we can consider letting you live. Do not test our bottom line, sky mutt."

"Release!" a bright golden and purple light burst from Sigma's body as the Heavenly Dog Star merged into his origin atmosphere, where 1,500 small light spheres formed a constellation that looked like a dog with angel wings. The constellation seemed to come to life as a deafening howl shook the entire auction square. Sigma's magic, serenity, and sword force concepts fused together bringing his total battle power to 5,900 BP. The constellation rapidly transformed into five fist-sized spheres of light, as they soon powered up Sigma's qi momentum to the max.

This was a terrifying value of 8,000 BP.

A white staff covered in mystic symbols appeared in Sigma's hand, it looked like a giant femur bone with six metal rings looped at the end. He stomped the bone staff, and myriad magic runes flew out of the glowing blue symbols, rapidly forming five arcane circles with three rows of runes each.

"Five three-layered magic circles! He's using a sixth rank spell!" Roger Flankz finally panicked. This Sigma was a total lunatic to have such a spell stored in his staff. What grade staff was that anyway? The more rows of runes an arcane circle has, the more powerful the spell. Being able to stack arcane circles to create more significantly damaging spells was an even more challenging feat. Roger had never seen a Combat Staff capable of loading six-star spells in an instant, as such spells were complex and able to boost combat qi by nearly four times. That was pure insanity!

Spells above five-star were considered the most powerful spells in this world.

For this first attack, Sigma actually used the force of close to 32 AP. That was more powerful than 32,000 BP, or three million two hundred thousand pounds! This was a force that was able to make the void tremble!

"Supreme Yin Aurora!" Sigma Octanis' cultivation was currently limited to one-fifth of his full strength. In spite of this, he used over 20% of his power in this strike alone. This was already approaching the limit that this world's curse placed on him. He didn't hesitate to use an attack that could wipe Roger Flankz off the face of this planet.

From each magic circle, serene icicle blades the size of three adult males standing on each other's shoulder condensed amidst the soul stopping chill of yin qi. The spell blasted towards Roger Flanks in a spiral of whistling air so rapidly Roger could barely think in time. This whistling came from the savagely sharp blade qi surrounding those ice blades that was terrifying to the extreme. From the time Simga released his combat soul to the launch of his spell less than two seconds had pa.s.sed, even his constellation had yet to finish howling. The speed of his spell-casting was mind-blowing.

Observing this from a great distance away via his divinity source, Jodye felt that battles between elites were genuinely next level. No way could he release even a one-star spell that quickly. He wouldn't even be close. By condensing his magic power into arcane circles, Uncle Sigma could easily break past the limits of his realm! At the Silver Mage rank, he could even fuse together powers within the same concept. This was a level of competence that approached Jodye's parents, so he was endlessly impressed. 'So magic is actually so dangerous. No wonder my father said that Sages were far more feared compared to Saints. A sage with powerful spellcasting ability can slaughter an entire city alone.'

Osiris Goldwolf had long ago told his son that Mage rank Sages were terrifying individuals and he was right. A group of Sages capable of using fifth rank magic or better would be absolutely terrifying to anyone under the Void Philosopher Sage Realm, the same realm as the top champions from House Trilleck. Jodye suspected that his parents were also champions at the Void Philosopher Sage Realm, even though most of the House believed they were Void Door Sage Realm elites.

"Celestial Body!"

"Roger, retreat!" Roger and Garuda both exclaimed the moment they saw the origin qi phenomenon take form within Sigma's own atmosphere as opposed to the world's atmosphere. This was the symbol of a Celestial Origin Body. From behind Roger, three fifth level ghouls that looked like crowned zombies immediately rushed out to guard him.

"Hmph. The second tier, fifth level fiends, Undead Ghoul Lords," Joovee Nile watched calmly as Roger Flankz tried to rapidly defend. "They seem to be using a three-star defensive curse. It definitely won't be enough."

[Spiritual Artifact Detected]

"Hmm?" Joovee Nile suddenly received a mental alert and felt curious. Spiritual Artifacts were different from Source Artifacts, in that they were not blessed by the laws of fate. Any Saint who later became a Sage could only use a spiritual artifact. The platform of destiny wouldn't let them communicate with the fates until their cultivation advanced more. Joovee glanced at the black dagger that appeared in Roger's hand. This was Roger's spiritual artifact, which he almost incomprehensibly used to slit his own wrist. This action caused Joovee to grimace, as he was also a voodoo priest. He knew what this pattern was, Roger wanted to use a voodoo blood curse!

This could boost the power of a curse by 150%, at the expense of the user's own vital life qi.

"Release!" Death fiend qi momentum billowed off the Undead Ghoul Lord's bodies and form layers of death qi barriers. At the same time, a more than five meters tall Black Water Sea Slug burst from Roger's navy colored atmosphere. Roger rapidly formed curse seals with his hands, forming two three-layered arcane circles. However, before he could finish setting up his defense, the Undead Ghouls Kings were lacerated into dust causing a critical rebound in Roger's lifeblood, which he was using to control those fiends. Roger was ruthlessly impaled through his left side by a projectile, his arm and part of his chest shredded, froze, and then shattered into dust.

Combat Skill: Earth Escape!

However, right before another deadly yin ice blade struck, Roger suddenly crumbled into the dirt, reappearing a kilometer away in the middle of Winter Winds City. The rest of the spell decimated the experts following him who all wore robes that had characters reading Oulan, opening up a considerable gap in the enemy's formation. Many heard of the terror of the Commander Heavenly Dog, but not many ever saw his prowess in person. Even for Garuda, every time he had seen Sigma fight previously, the latter had never once used his origin power. Just his true qi alone was enough to challenge other Silver Mages.

[Source Artifact detected]

Joovee Nile glanced upward and noticed the necklace that appeared on Garuda's neck, his face also became dignified. The actual threat of the White Serpent Cove group was none other than that man, Garuda.

Garuda's face also became dignified as his source artifact, the Seven-Winged Necklace, appeared around his neck, "So it turns out he was also a Celestial Body. If I do not a.s.sist Roger, then he will die. This Sigma Octanis should be able to fight us both alone, he simply doesn't need Neofrost to act. Unless I use my lifeblood limit, this might get ugly. Honored Elder Luke Venom, be ready! We'll take them all down at once."

"Do you believe you can behave as you please in my Winter Winds City?" came that same overpowering majestic voice from the auction hall. Twenty meters in front of Garuda, a tall and hunky man appeared with a retinue of fifty guards, who all stood orderly on the void. Arcane circles were under each of their feet as they stood uniform in the air at attention. This was none other than the Tower Master of Purple Sky Tower, and the most powerful member of the Purple-Sky Clan. As a first-star Gold Mage rank Sage, his strength was easily comparable to Garuda himself.

"Are you trying to stop me?" behind Garuda, black wisps of steam that contained a terrifying lifeblood power within released from his body. The Purple Sky Tower Master grimaced at this but didn't budge from his position. Sigma and Joovee exchanged a glance as they were both impressed. To think that the brat really pulled it off, just like Grey Willow had said. Garuda snorted and turned his attention to the Neofrost Master, whom he believed was still in his pocket, "It seems you have finally given up on familiar attachments. You're more like us with each pa.s.sing day, for whose benefit should we stand on opposing teams?"

"Release!" Joovee's face experienced a myriad of changes as he seemed to be struggling internally. He nodded ever so slightly, which Garuda sneered sinisterly at. Joovee smirked in his heart, and not wanting to waste any more time with words, he also decided to go all-out. The giant image of Shura's Gavel immediately condensed in the air. This idiot dared to pretend he still had Joovee's family captive, only reminding Joovee that Garuda needed to die painfully. Pure essence and eight-colored combat qi poured out of Joovee's body, as he grabbed Shura's Gavel and transformed it into a real mighty hammer that he ruthlessly slammed down on over a dozen true saints, crus.h.i.+ng them into pulp.

A menacing poisonous gas spread rapidly like a plague from the point of impact. The lower lever saints who encountered this gas screamed miserably as their flesh wilted away. Even some of the innocent bystanders were hit by the noxious air as screams of agony filled the square. The putrid smell of death took over the field as the surrounding crowds panicked and fled further away in fear. In only a few breaths, Sigma and Joovee had already defeated one-third of White Serpent Cove's operatives.

Meanwhile…

"Wicked," Jodye Trill observed from 500 meters away riding on the back of his Twilight Sphinx Eureka with Bilan Moon in tow. The shockwaves of that battle would be enough to slaughter the kids where they stood. However, he had already left the range of the fight. Merely, with [Pharaoh's Law] active, Jodye Trills divine consciousness stream was more than powerful enough to cover 800 meters, and this was continually improving. Not to mention that Jodye could still push his soul force up to one more level if he needed too.

Jodye Trill wanted to know what improvements his divine spark had since his advancement, so he sent his intention to his [Pharaoh's Law]. In return, new information printed itself into his brain.

[Tier 1 Primary Spark, Thunderbolt Purgatory - Load (4) purgatory thunderbolts]

[Tier 1 Auxiliary Spark, Vajra Cover - summon protective divine scales to protect the body from harm]

"Why isn't there any difference?" Jodye Trill felt confused by this situation. Hadn't his realm advanced?

"In reality, you unlocked your Tier 1 Auxilary Spark, Vajra Cover, earlier than you were supposed too. You'll find its much easier to use now, as is your thunderbolt purgatory," Trippy replied emotionlessly.

'Cosmo!'

The [Cosmos Revolving Grimoire] flashed into existence in front of Jodye, and with a single thought, his information was displayed in his mind.
