Chapter 801: Justice's Group Beatdown

~12 min read 2,371 words

Mogela vanished again, leaving only the frozen bone altar.

"Quick, chase!"

Kestajin turned into a bolt of lightning, flew in and landed, shouting loudly.

Lei En shook his head; if they pursued Mogela, they'd be led by the nose, and as the saying goes, as long as Mogela wants to stop them from breaking the protection, they'll be passive everywhere.

He leapt high, bringing down the Thunder God's Hammer with both hands.

Boom!

Ice shards sprayed, the whole hall shook, bolts of lightning erupted, turning nearby undead to ash, and a layer of the solid ice floor melted. Kestajin also wielded "Rage of the Mountains", unleashing several Earth Shaking Strikes.

Boom boom boom…

Amid the earth‑shaking, the solid ice was smashed into a huge crater, exposing the bone altar.

But it also wasted nearly ten seconds.

Just as they were about to smash that layer of protection, a flash of light flickered in Lei En's peripheral vision, and the Willpower of Truth emitted a strong warning; Mogela surged back.

He pretended not to notice, and the war hammer kept falling.

Swish!

A massive sword silhouette suddenly slashed horizontally from behind, striking both Lei En and Kestajin.

"Get out of the way!"

Kestajin shouted loudly, activating Electric Flash Teleport to dodge. Lei En, however, disregarded it, letting the evil spirit's slash hit his back; his armor shattered, a several‑meter wound gaped across his broad back, and he was blasted into the air.

The wounded Lei En's face showed no change; from midair he shouted gravely, "Flash Step is prohibited here."

The Wish Spell succeeded, consuming over two hundred units of electricity.

Mogela's figure materialized.

Almost the same second the Wish Spell took effect, four Lei En appeared in the hall, positioned in all directions, surrounding Mogela.

Lei En decided to get serious!

He had ten Mirror Images, originally scouting for the Soul Box on the upper levels of Fu Kong Cheng, but now the Soul Box could wait, since they couldn't escape the floating city anyway. They must first eliminate Mogela, destroy the energy nodes, and stop the translocation.

Meanwhile, six other Mirror Images teleported to Lifulin and Asqiong.

Each energy node received three Mirror Images to assist them.

In this hall, before the four Mirror Images arrived, they had already activated the triple amplification of Titan Giant's divine power, Infinite Frenzy, and Elephant Heart Electric Power, becoming semi‑giants nearly four meters tall.

They came together for a combined strike.

Electric Ray!

Space-Time Shock!

Mind Leap!

Thunderous Charge!

Mogela hadn't anticipated this at all; one or two Mirror Images he could handle easily, but with four Mirror Images plus Lei En himself, even at his strength he couldn't take on five at once.

In a moment of distraction, Mogela's perception became chaotic.

When he recovered, a Mirror Image had already Mind‑Leaped behind him and hammered his head hard with the war hammer; the Holy Light Barrier and ice‑frozen body blocked the damage, yet his body involuntarily leaned forward, and another Mirror Image charged from the front.

Bang!

A loud crack rang, Mogela was blasted upward, and the Holy Light Barrier shattered.

During this, a thick electric ray followed like a shadow, striking Mogela's chest; the moment the Holy Light Barrier broke, superheated current pierced through, boring a bowl‑sized charred hole.

If it were a normal person, this would be fatal.

But for an Apocalypse Knight, it isn't lethal, merely a serious wound; even in this state, Mogela remained absolutely calm.

His black‑and‑white dual wings flapped wildly behind him, instantly multiplying his speed, dodging the lightning slash from the first blasted Mirror Image, and the war hammer from the second Mirror Image missed.

Even without Flash Step, Mogela's speed was extremely fast, far surpassing ordinary Saint Rank practitioners.

However, it was only a brief respite.

Lei En had already expelled the strange energy that had infiltrated his body, opened a mental force field and flashed over; a massive, robust aura of psychic power enveloped a radius of dozens of meters. With a thought, invisible psychic energy coalesced into chains that bound Mogela, his hand raised in a feigned grasp, and the psychic chains twisted wildly.

Mogela's speed immediately slowed.

As he slowed, the Mirror Images' spells arrived.

Mind Blast!

Space-Time Shock!

Advanced Thunderclap Technique!

Also, the Soul‑Eating Blade's attached Four‑Ring Spider Web Technique, which Lei En unleashed in one breath. The sturdy spider silk instantly wrapped Mogela like a rice‑cake, and his Willpower was assaulted by the spell, causing him to lose consciousness; even with sixteen‑level strength, he couldn't break free at once, his body frozen mid‑air.

One Mirror Image, not involved in spell control, flashed over as a twelve‑meter‑tall Titan Giant.

He swung the hammer and struck, like hitting a baseball.

Boom!

Mogela was blasted outward, like a cannonball hitting the wall of Fu Kong Cheng, carving a huge crater.

An Electric Claw Technique shot out, grabbing him and flinging him back; suspended in midair, Mind Blast, Space‑Time Shock, Silence Technique, Mind Freeze, and Advanced Thunderclap Technique rained down like droplets.

At this moment, the battle music entered its second loop.

Lei En's casting time halved outright; even the Eight‑Ring Spell could be cast almost instantly, with no shortage of electricity, and he unleashed a frenzy of spell strikes.

Although Mogela's resistance was extremely high and each individual spell's effect was weak, the sheer number of overlapping spells still affected his Willpower, leaving him unable to devise a counter.

Most importantly, Lei En's psychic field enveloped Mogela, focusing on binding and disrupting.

In an instant, Mogela was pulled back.

Boom!

The giant‑like Mirror Image hammered him again, sending him flying; a neighboring Mirror Image instantly launched an Electric Claw Technique, pulling him back to the front, then another hammer strike.

It was hammered like this five times in a row.

After this ravaging, Mogula's armor had completely vanished, exposing a pale, ice‑frozen body; his limbs were broken and twisted, even his head wobbled as if about to fall, and his whole form resembled a torn rag.

Even so, he had not entirely lost combat ability; holy and evil energies kept surging, repairing his body.

Lei En sensed a familiar aura and his eyelids twitched instantly.

Holy Healing.

A Divine Grace Knight can cast Holy Healing only once per day, but since Mogula revived once today, he can use Holy Healing again.

"Holy Healing is prohibited here!"

Lei En shouted at speed.

Almost as the Wish Spell sounded, a light flared on Mogula, but it flickered out; his Holy Healing failed.

"Except for me, teleportation is forbidden here."

"Resurrection is prohibited here."

Lei En used Wish Spell three times in succession.

The price of these three wishes far exceeded the ban on Flash Step; the energy drained across a thousand miles, over two thousand units of power turned to nothing, and the soul‑energy pool was nearly emptied in an instant.

But the effect was immediate; Mogula had completely lost any ability to resist.

Korstted could not rescue him either.

Four Mirror Images scattered around Mogula, each expanding a mental force field; the surging psychic energy bound him, fixing him mid‑air, unable to move.

Lei En shrank to just over three meters tall, grasped the Soul‑Eating Blade in his right hand, half‑crouched, his arm power surging wildly as massive thunder energy poured into the curved blade, which emitted a dazzling electric flash.

Soul‑Eating Slash!

The thunder‑flame sword aura flashed and vanished.

Lei En's figure appeared behind Mogula, hovering mid‑air and turning to face the target.

In the next second, Mogula's body disintegrated, as if torn by countless blades, turning into innumerable fragments smaller than a fingertip. The balance between the two opposing energies inside him—holy light and death force—was shattered, and with a booming crack he exploded.

After the energy was annihilated, Mogula's corpse vanished entirely.

A spectral soul flickered at the explosion's core—it was Mogula—sending a mental ripple: "Thank you, stranger, for freeing me from endless torment and curse."

His mental ripple was filled with gratitude.

Lei En paused, unsure what was happening, but gave Mogula a slight nod and replied, "You're welcome."

Mogula's soul looked toward the oddly shaped massive sword lying on the ground far away and pleaded, "Please take the Ashen Holy Sword, purify it, and restore its sacred glory."

After speaking, the soul too was completely annihilated with the energy.

The device's power surged wildly.

Lei En could confirm that this time Mogula was truly dead. He stared at the spot where Mogula's soul dissipated and strangely found that the soul essence did not fall into the Abyss like other revenants, but vanished entirely.

There must be some reason and story behind this.

But Lei En had no interest in probing; now was not the time to waste.

He gestured, and the once‑dull Ashen Holy Sword, darkened after Mogula's death, flew into his hand; without a glance, he tossed it straight into the Nebula Ring.

The hall began to tremble.

The four Mirror Images and Kestajin were already assaulting the Energy Node's Bone Altar; the protective field shook violently, soon smashed apart, revealing the Rune Core.

"Wait for my signal."

Lei En ordered Kestajin to teleport away with a single command, leaving only one Mirror Image.

Originally he did not want to reveal that he could teleport freely within Fu Kong Cheng, so he devised a four‑pronged plan; now that Korstted knew, he simply went in himself.

One Mirror Image teleported to Yizite's side, easing the pressure of the undead siege.

Lei En and the remaining Mirror Images continued searching for the Soul Box.

At the other two Energy Nodes, Lifulin, after three Mirror Images joined, easily slashed the Apocalypse Knight attacking the shield; Asqiongge was the most relaxed, Sanavia acted with him, putting on a show without effort, and withdrew immediately after the Mirror Image appeared.

Korstted's furious voice echoed throughout Fu Kong Cheng.

The people in Gotham City sensed its panic.

Anxiwodasi had already led the Weizelan Wizards toward the control chamber; if they could not jump to the Ice Crown Fortress, only a dead end awaited them.

Soon, Lifulin and Asqiongge both broke the magical shield.

At last the cores of the four Energy Nodes were exposed; there was still about a minute before the jump, ample time.

"Now is the time."

Lei En's four Mirror Images spoke in unison.

Yizite, Kestajin, Lifulin and Asqiongge together crushed the Chierdaling Gem; amid the shattering sound, a thin, finger‑wide transparent beam was emitted, striking the Rune Core of the Energy Node.

Nine‑Ring Greater Disintegrate!

This spell, invented by Master Tim*Kenan, has no lethal force but can dispel magical effects—including buffs, magic resistance, anti‑magic fields, and so on—any enchantment‑type status can be removed, and it can also destroy magical items.

Even artifacts have a certain chance of being destroyed!

The beam descended.

The Rune Core extinguished instantly, and countless runes etched on the floors and walls of the four halls burst open, emitting a crackling pop.

The massive energy instantly went out of control.

The Bone Altar that formed the Energy Node exploded; Lei En had warned everyone before acting, so the four Saint Rank elites led their parties to dodge in time.

And this was only the beginning; the destruction of the Energy Node triggered a chain reaction.

The entire Fu Kong Cheng shivered once.

In a chaotic sway, everyone inside Fu Kong Cheng felt weightlessness as the city began to fall!

On the Dragonbone Wasteland, Lei En dispatched several Thundercast Celestial Soldiers to monitor the canyon; his gaze pierced the snowstorm, and far away he saw the storm clouds part, revealing a massive gray‑white pyramid—Fu Kong Cheng's camouflage vanished, and its altitude was dropping rapidly.

"No!"

"You dare..."

Korstted let out an angry roar: "Don't get too cocky. My master is already on his way; when he arrives, every one of you will die, and Fu Kong Cheng will be mine."

A mad, deafening shout rang across Fu Kong Cheng.

Upon hearing that the Death Lord was on his way, some people immediately grew nervous.

However, the Saint Rank strongmen who attended the war council knew that Korstted was merely a futile rage, and they reminded each other: "Ignore it, keep exterminating the undead, watch your own safety. If we hold out until Master Anxi kills it, we win."

Buzz!

Fu Kong Cheng shuddered violently and halted its fall.

Each Fu Kong Cheng has backup power; when the Iola Core is damaged or its transmission is cut, it automatically activates, but it can sustain flight for at most two hours.

The energy must be restored within those two hours, or it must land safely.

Upper level of Fu Kong Cheng.

Lei En and ten Mirror Images continued a carpet‑style search; the All‑Seeing Eye pierced walls and floor, leaving no corner unchecked. Yet the upper level's area was vast and its structure labyrinthine, so even with his high efficiency he could not locate the target at once.

He searched while monitoring the battle.

After the Iola Core's power was cut, Korstted could still draw on a limited amount of energy, but only enough to teleport undead to block enemies, and their numbers sharply dwindled.

Fu Kong Cheng's passages fully opened, and the hundreds of thousands of Undead Army from the lower level surged into the middle level.

But unable to teleport, the pressure on the four squads lessened considerably; with Saint Rank strongmen and Thundercast Celestial Soldiers present, self‑preservation was no issue.

The Weizelan Wizards Corps also reached the control room's gate.

Korstted was hiding inside.

It devoted almost all its energy to teleporting undead outside the control room, hoping to block the enemy's advance. Yet a successive line of Extreme Warriors formed the strongest defense, allowing the wizards to cast safely from behind; no matter how many undead came, they were of no use.

The entire control room was the strongest defensive point of Fu Kong Cheng, like a city within a city, with an independent energy supply system.

The master is trying to open the door.

Suddenly, Lei En, sprinting, halted his steps; the All‑Seeing Eye spotted a peculiar spot, his gaze pierced through it, and he was instantly overjoyed.

"Finally found it!"
