Chapter 226: Faith Shattered

"Naimi Xisi?! You finally came." Sai Faer, after confirming Kunade was under control, deactivated the Rainbow Light Orb and, with a relieved expression, said to Naimi Xisi.

He looked with a somewhat complicated expression at the leopard frozen in midair, his heart trembling.

The power of this dragon's spells each time exceeded his expectations; these ordinary six‑ and seven‑ring spells in his hands were as strong as nine‑ring or even Legendary spells—simply unbelievable.

Stagnation Technique aside, Sai Faer also knew that such intellectually‑deficient enemies are weak against Enchantment Spell, but how could the flesh of a supersonic‑flying Warrior be restrained by a six‑ring spell like Gear Wall?

This is absurd.

Although he knew Juan Ce Long possessed the unreasonable talent Improvised Super Magic, even if Sai Faer applied all the ultra‑effective Super Magic techniques together, he admitted he still couldn't reach Naimi Xisi's level.

The sheer implausibility of reality left Sai Faer racking his brain without figuring out why Juan Ce Long's spells were so potent, and he could only attribute it to the opponent's magical talent possibly being a rarity across the Multiverse.

Naimi Xisi nodded at Sai Faer and gave a greeting.

During the final stage of carving the Artifact Rune, he first sensed his first simulacrum being destroyed by an unknown Ba Long Sect mage, and then his second duplicate suffered an even worse fate, shattered by a lingering afterimage before he could see what happened.

Later, using a prophecy spell to detect, he discovered it was actually a general of this kingdom army—a monster capable of breaking the Legendary limit.

So he hurried, and just before the defending troops were almost completely slaughtered, he completed the Artifact upgrade and, without stopping, teleported here.

At this moment, seeing his once‑radiant general captured, the remaining kingdom soldiers not affected by Stagnation Technique grew demoralized.

However, because the kingdom's army was massive—still about seventy‑to‑eighty thousand active troops crowded in the city—and the officers kept the forces running, they immediately tried to rush to rescue their general.

Naimi Xisi, seeing this, let out a snort; he didn't want a bloodbath, but these natives were overly bold—his strongest general captured, the enemy aided by a hundred‑meter‑long monster, yet these soldiers still dared to raise swords at him?

Roar!!!

Naimi Xisi let out a deafening dragon roar; the air expanded outward like a storm, and terrifying Dragon Might spread forward, causing the soldiers affected by Stagnation Technique to instantly go limp and collapse.

The ensuing crowd of soldiers surged forward, causing an extremely brutal stampede; the immobilized Stagnation soldiers on the ground were trampled into mush.

Naimi Xisi stared at the effect of his Dragon Might, frowned, and indeed, although Dragon Might is one of a great dragon's weapons against endless swarms, when faced with such sheer numbers it becomes hardly useful.

The massive number of soldiers diluted the Dragon Might's power, merely weighing down his mood a bit.

"Since that's the case, if you seek death, I'll grant it."

Sai Faer saw Naimi Xisi muttering a incantation, and just as he was about to speak, he closed his mouth dejectedly; although he couldn't bear such mass slaughter of mortals, he had no solution.

This is war; sacrifice is the most unavoidable thing.

Seven‑ring Evocation divine spell—Rainbow Light Spell Eye!

Naimi Xisi uttered the incantation, summoning from the void a massive multicolored giant eye. The eye resembled a radiant sun disc, hovering above the kingdom army's heads, emitting dazzling brilliance.

The light surrounding the giant eye shone like a corona, beautiful yet exuding a chilling pressure; a wave of unbearable heat radiated outward, making the soldiers break into a cold sweat.

Boom!!

Suddenly, multicolored flames spewed from the giant eye, forming whirling fire tornadoes that ravaged the battlefield. Where the fire tornadoes passed, the ground burned to ash, and soldiers' armor and weapons twisted and melted in the extreme heat, turning into molten iron.

One after another, streams of multicolored fire shot from the giant eye, the dazzling seven‑hued light becoming scorching heat. A silver giant dragon sat poised in the sky, like a deity, unmoved and impartial, gazing coldly at everything. "God, forgive us."

The celestial multicolored giant eye tirelessly projected flames; every soldier felt an unprecedented despair. The fire tornadoes released by the eye acted like fate's judgment, mercilessly destroying everything.

This wide‑range spell struck like divine punishment; the mesmerizing spectacle gave the kingdom soldiers no comfort, only causing them to scatter in panic. Some, too terrified, fell to their knees, begging the gods for forgiveness.

Just one spell caused over ten thousand kingdom soldiers to perish in the sea of fire.

"Is this—Rainbow Light Spell Eye?"

Sai Faer swallowed, wanted to say something, but ultimately closed his mouth again.

What magic does he understand? This dragon says it's the Rainbow Light Spell Eye, right?

"Flee, survive by skulking in fear, mortals," Naimi Xisi's whisper, like smoke, echoed beside each kingdom soldier.

"Whether it's Ku Er Ta Ka or the revered Zha Er Tai Ke, they will no longer be the heralds of war; you are losers, the defeated, living pillars of disgrace."

Naimi Xisi spat poisonous arrows, perfectly shattering the proud hearts of Zha Er Tai Ke's followers.

!

The war's believers are the most power‑hungry, and also the most fickle.

When they are victors, they are the war's most loyal believers.

When they fail and become discarded dogs trampled at will,

faith automatically shatters.

The kingdom soldiers moved like walking corpses, dropping their weapons; some with wavering faith had already fled in search of survival. More were shells, staring blankly as the beautiful dreams they once firmly believed in shattered, powerless to resist.

Naimi Xisi shook his head at this, thinking it was best; he didn't want to expend effort killing so many.

An Liese Tong, whose injuries had improved, loudly proclaimed the slogan of surrender to the defeated kingdom troops.

The Three Gods require faith; if these tens of thousands of soldiers truly abandon Zha Er Tai Ke's belief, they will begin a new life here.

"How do you plan to deal with it?" Sai Faer walked up to Kunade, poked his stagnant face, and asked.

Naimi Xisi looked at the frozen leopard, also feeling a bit troubled.

He wanted to study why this native could breach the Legendary limit, which made his eyes water with greed.

If he could achieve the same, by using attribute‑enhancing spells he could obtain Legendary Level combat power even before reaching the Legendary realm!

Recalling how he had once struggled against a weak Legendary sealed for years, Naimi Xisi's yearning for Legendary power grew even stronger.
