After all, they would be sitting ducks in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But things had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While still shooting upward, the warriors all landed on their weapons and shot forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Spell all of Jerald's Mages were casting was Mana Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, the warriors had blocked the Mages' path, but with them jumping away, the Mages were free to Mana Step into any direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia managed to avoid the Spell that was targeted at her with a simple Mana Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a Late High Mage, she could react to an attack from another Late High Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the other Mages were not as lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like the Council members had chosen their targets, all the other High Mages had also chosen their targets…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And only a few of them had attacked the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only ten Spells had been shot at the collective army of 65 True Path Stage warriors, and the Spells all missed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only a show to force the warriors to break their formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ten Spells were never meant to kill the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the nine Council members targeting Jerald, Sylvia, and Shang, and with ten Mages targeting the warriors, there were still about 60 Spells unaccounted for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 of the remaining 60 Spells were shooting at the fortified building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan had had enough time to scout out everything and come up with a plan, and when she saw the five Mid High Mages defending the building, she decided to deal with them directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>20 Mid High Mages were targeting the five Mid High Mages with combined Spells, exhibiting the power of the Spells of a Peak High Mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five Mid High Mages combined their powers into one in four groups, meaning that four Peak High Mage Spells were shooting at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were all the Mid High Mages the Council had access to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the other Mages were Early High Mages, and there wasn't a single Initial High Mage in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nine Late High Mages targeted Jerald, Shang, and Sylvia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 20 Mid High Mages targeted the building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten of the 55 Early High Mages were forcing the warriors to break formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the remaining 45 Early High Mages were attacking the Initial High Mages of Jerald's army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, three Early High Mages were targeting one Initial High Mage each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was devastating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If these attacks had been launched by Initial High Mages, Jerald's Initial High Mages would be able to react…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the enemy didn't have Initial High Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 15 Initial High Mages of Jerald's army that had been targeted weren't fast enough to react with Mana Step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Mages of Jerald's army had had their Mana Shields active for hours by now, but what difference did that make when they were targeted by three High Mages a level above them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Initial High Mages' eyes opened in horror and shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that they would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald had about 30 High Mages, but around 20 of them were Initial High Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just an instant, 15 of the 20 Initial High Mages died, leaving five of them…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And three of these five were inside the building to keep Shang's augmenting Spells active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly every single Initial High Mage outside the building was killed in the first attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half of all High Mages under Jerald died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a devastating blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, the four Peak High Mage Spells cast by the 20 Mid High Mages were shooting at the five Mid High Mages defending the fortified building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mana Shield of a Mid High Mage couldn't resist the power of a Peak High Mage's Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five Mid High Mages looked at the Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jerald had already received devastating losses, and it would only get worse from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or would it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four extremely powerful Spells arrived, but before they could hit four of the five Mid High Mages, a gigantic shield appeared around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Darkness' Veil was probably the best Hiding Spell in the Skythunder Kingdom, but that didn't mean that there weren't others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eyes of the 20 High Mages opened in shock when the gigantic shield appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shield was obviously created by a powerful Magic Circle…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they hadn't seen such a Magic Circle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Susan also hadn't warned them about it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where did that Magic Circle come from?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, the four Spells were simply too powerful, and after blocking them for an instant, the four Spells broke through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the five Mid High Mages immediately shot their own Spells at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This short moment had given them enough time to condense an offensive Spell each.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, the barrier had weakened the attacking Spells substantially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, George had been killed by someone essentially drowning him in wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And today, four extremely powerful Spells were stopped by throwing wealth at them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mana Crystals with a collective value of 1.5 billion gold had been sacrificed at this very moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was 75% of all the accumulated wealth Jerald owned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All for this single barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four attacking Spells were destroyed, and the Five Mid High Mages were ready to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, five Mid High Mages couldn't win against 20 on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren't alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a barrage of rockets, the 20 most powerful warriors exploded into the group of Mid High Mages!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other 45 warriors shot at the 55 Early High Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, violent storm clouds were gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a sign that Jerald was also unleashing his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the side, the remaining four Initial High Mages, five Early High Mages, and three Mid High Mages were readying their Spells to shoot at the army of Early High Mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the back, Sylvia was preparing her Spells against her opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, Jerald was preparing his Spells against the Council after having dealt with the initial attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battles were set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>15 people on Jerald's side had already been killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in total, 16 people died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And, in fact, the 15 Initial High Mages died after the sixteenth person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before the Spells hit the 15 Initial High Mages, a bright explosion of light appeared in the middle of Jerald's camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An instant later, a humongous explosion of lightning and wind exploded 500 meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Darkness' Veil couldn't hide Mana fluctuations, the ambushing Mages couldn't activate Mana Shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their plan was to launch their attacks, activate Mana Shield, and begin the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That should be easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the attack of one Council member was just too fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning and Wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fastest combination of Elements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when Shang used Reflection with his Colossal Sword on that attack…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other two Council members looked with horror as their fellow Council member was turned into dust by his own Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first casualty in the war had been one of the Council members, something no one would have expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, their attacks arrived at Shang's location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOOOOOOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>",1209,"2026-06-06T04:07:15.357Z",1,"novelbin.me","996b5610469bc539287a385300642a65e6f364b017c88324e25c53c1358423b4","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-503","sword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-chapter-501",1033,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsword-god-in-a-world-of-magic-cover.jpg"]
