The Magic Empire for 20,000 years

Chapter 197 Who will face you, general or soldier?

On the ground, at the ruins of the brass palace.

Hundreds of heroic soldiers formed three concentric circles, protecting the 15 legendary Sun Elf spellcasters performing the ritual in the center, while resisting the outer golem legion.

Although this legion of heroic spirits was formidable, including many powerful warriors comparable to high-ranking warriors, it still suffered continuous casualties in the face of the menacing golem legion.

Originally, these soldiers were pale blue and ethereal, mere spirits, unharmed by ordinary weapons. But both the iron golem's greatsword and the rock golem's heavy fist were enchanted magical weapons. With each heavy blow, heroic spirit soldiers shattered and vanished with a resounding thud.

After summoning the Legion of Heroes, Prince Terrani of the Sun did not stop. Instead, he spread his arms and radiated a brilliant light.

At this moment, the deity was like a rising sun, illuminating the night as brightly as day.

—【Victory Aura】!
When the light emanating from Prince Sunlight shone upon the spirit soldiers, these spirit soldiers seemed to be filled with power, their strength greatly increased, and each attack was accompanied by a dazzling golden light.

The golems were forced into retreat by the enhanced army of heroic spirits and were powerless to resist.

"This is the glory of the god of war."

"An army shrouded in my light will only have one outcome: victory."

The Sun Prince's voice still carried an air of arrogant disdain for all things. He stretched out his right hand and pointed ahead at Elian, who was riding a bone dragon:

“Human mage, you and your mount are the only ones in this rabble who are qualified to fight my avatar.”

"As for your useless subordinates, they are not qualified to participate in our duel. They only deserve to become the dead souls under the sword of my Heroic Spirit Legion."

"Come on, let's have a fair one-on-one duel. I'll allow you to ride that filthy undead."

Prince Sunlight possesses divine roles such as [Sun], [War], and [Sun Elf].

He was confident that if the human mage attacked him on a bone dragon, his full-force sword strike would be enough to severely injure or even destroy the bone dragon.

The [Sun] domain is the most effective against the undead!
Elion nodded slightly, looking down at the Legion of Heroes who had completely suppressed the Golem Legion, his gaze then sweeping over the more than 200 high-ranking human spellcasters who formed a surrounding circle:
"Let my men fight against your legions."

"And I, riding my mount, will challenge you to a duel?"

"Is this a clash of generals against generals, soldiers against soldiers, a battle symbolizing glory?"

At that moment, the exclamations of the numerous spellcasters were also transmitted to Elian's mind through [Mind Link]:

"How is it, Your Majesty Elion? The golems below are about to collapse. Shall we go deal with the Legion of Heroes below, and you ride the bone dragon to fight the Sun Prince?"

El-Erian smiled.

Prince Sunrise, you're dreaming!
"Follow my command, all spellcasters of Eldoron, execute the rehearsed interference tactic mode C, and do everything in your power to restrain the Sun Prince! Block out his [Victory Aura] and prevent him from strengthening his army."

"The task of fighting against the Legion of Heroes will be undertaken by my bone dragon."

After quickly transmitting the command over the telepathic communication channel, Elion took to the air and separated from the bone dragon beneath him.

The massive bone dragon, as large as a small mountain, swooped straight down.

Hu Hu Hu.

From the mouth of the bone dragon, a surge of dragon breath brimming with spiritual energy erupted.

—This skeletal dragon, transformed from the mastermind dragon, has three breath modes: the undead's [negative energy breath], the [mind breath] empowered by mental energy, and the green dragon's original [venomous breath]. It is currently using the second one.

The dragons' advantage over armies became apparent on the battlefield.

A raging mental storm, like a tsunami, swept over a large number of soldiers in the Heroic Spirit Legion, shattering these pale blue spirits in the mental storm.

[Mental Damage] is quite effective against these intangible spirits!
The golem army, which was originally at a significant disadvantage, was thus given a much-needed respite.

Upon seeing Elian's choice, the Sun Prince in the sky was suddenly taken aback.

Elian, however, merely smiled faintly.

The clashes between soldiers and between generals were indeed the most ideal and glorious mode of confrontation in this era.

But I'm sorry, one of my top combatants here specializes in clearing out miscellaneous enemies!
How could Elion not know that the Bone Dragon was restrained by the Sun Prince, who was the Sun God? How could he not play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, choosing the best battlefield for it?

"Cunning humans, fighting in a way that has no honor."

"After I kill that filthy undead, I'll come back and cut off your head."

Prince Sunlight snorted coldly, transforming into a golden meteor that hurtled straight down onto the battlefield below.

He was determined to kill the bone dragon in one strike and turn the tide of the battle!
At this moment, numerous human spellcasters, including the legendary ones, who had been gathering their strength for a long time, acted simultaneously. Layers of invisible [Dimensional Locks] sealed off the space around the Sun Prince, preventing him from teleporting; layers of [Higher Dispel Magic], [Greater Disintegration], and [Luxury Great Disintegration] painstakingly dispelled the permanent buff spells on the Sun Prince, slightly reducing his defense and power…

—The gods themselves are indestructible, but the buffs from their divine spells are not so insurmountable.

Feeling the loss of several buff spells on his body, Prince Sunlight didn't care at all and just rushed downwards.

Suddenly, a solid force field cage materialized out of thin air, imprisoning this divine incarnation within it.

— [Force Field Prison] (Seventh Ring Spell)!
An indestructible cage that can only be destroyed by targeted methods such as the [Disintegration Technique]!

Faced with a divine avatar possessing terrifying resistance and seemingly invincible, this physical barrier that affects movement is even more effective than the nine-ringed [Rainbow Light Wall] containing destructive energy.

If he were to encounter the [Rainbow Light Wall] that had previously caused the legendary Mind Flayer so much trouble, the Sun Prince could rely on his divine resistance and immunity to various abnormal statuses to force his way through without being affected.

But when faced with such physical obstacles, they must be destroyed.

The moment the [Force Field Prison] appeared, Prince Sunlight simply smiled.

Little trick!

God twitched his little finger slightly, and a beam of brilliant golden light shot out.

—【Dissociation Technique】!
The gods can simulate almost all the magic of mortals below the legendary level.

The golden dissociation beam struck the supposedly indestructible force field, instantly turning the cage into dust.

The prison vanished in less than 0.1 seconds, unable to slow God's pace at all.

However, the moment the first layer of prison appeared and was destroyed, the second layer of [Force Field Prison] appeared.

In that instant, Prince Sunlight frowned slightly and once again cast [Disintegration], destroying the prison.

Then, the third layer of prison appeared.

This time, the force field prison was also encased in several layers of [Iron Wall] and [Ice Wall].

Within a single second, a dozen layers of force fields and other physical obstacles appeared in succession, attempting to slow down the god's movements.

Prince Sunlight destroyed the prison more than a dozen times in a second, but new obstacles continued to appear.

Even for a ninth-ring spellcaster, casting a seventh-ring spell is a considerable burden, and they can't cast it too many times a day. Moreover, it takes six or seven seconds of chanting to create such a powerful prison.

But now, human spellcasters have the greatest and most oppressive advantage over their opponents.

There are so many people!

They may find it difficult to harm this god who possesses terrifying resistance, but that doesn't mean they can't restrain his progress.

Meanwhile, more human spellcasters created vast swirling fogs that enveloped the Sun Prince.

—【Dense Fog Technique】!
These heavy, viscous fogs, while unable to affect the actions of a deity, obscured the bright, sun-like radiance emanating from the Sun Prince, preventing this symbol of victory from shining down upon those below.

As a result, the heroic soldiers on the ground below, who should have had the upper hand, lost the blessing of the [Victory Aura] and their strength was greatly reduced.

Didn't I say that the army illuminated by your glory will surely be victorious?
Then just block out your light!
"What kind of tactic is this?"

"It's absolutely disgusting."

Amidst the thick fog, Prince Sunlight sensed the battle below through his Divine Perception. Facing the layers upon layers of prisons and walls that sealed him off, his eyes blazed with fury.

He was not harmed in the slightest, yet he felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart.

It's so frustrating...

Shouldn't a normal, honorable battle be a fair fight between top-tier fighters, or a battle between lowly soldiers?

These damned humans actually chose to send their top combat power to clear out the enemy, and then let this rabble use dirty tricks to delay them!
Having once again erased the prison and steel walls in front of him, Prince Terrani of the Sun temporarily shifted his focus, gazing at the night sky above.

“These human spellcasters are really annoying; we have to deal with them first.”

"That's right, only your bone dragons have the means to fight against armies!"

A tiny, shimmering sun was formed in the hand of God.

As the god of war and the sun, Prince Sunlight naturally possesses powerful anti-army techniques capable of inflicting widespread damage.

Once this miniature "sun" explodes, all enemies below the legendary level who lack special survival skills will be reduced to dust in the entire night sky!
