In the city, numerous magicians, regardless of their rank, official or civilian, gathered in the temple, desperately inputting their magic power into the core nodes, trying to recover the magic power that was lost in the barrier.

Now that they can't leave, this is the only thing they can do.

Rays of magical light of various colors converged into the base of the barrier, trying to make up for the huge deficit.

However, it is just a drop in the bucket!

The total amount of magic power that was forcibly extracted by Volame and Ella before was too huge, or in other words, the magic power required to cast directional teleportation magic was an astronomical figure, which almost shook the foundation of the barrier.

Even if all the magicians in the city tried their best to replenish their energy at this moment, it would only slow down the speed of the barrier's collapse.

Cracks have begun to spread across the surface of the barrier, like broken glass, constantly stimulating the senses of all the soldiers on the city wall.

In the underground prison

Volame and Ella stood up suddenly and came to the window at the same time.

They clearly felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, and even the deafening alarms and roars of monsters outside reached their ears. Seeing the flickering light of the barrier not far away, the two of them secretly cried out that something was wrong.

"What happened!?" Ella's face changed, and her pointed ears kept trembling due to the violent energy fluctuations from the outside world.

A young guard assigned to watch over them replied with a pale face and a hint of tears in his voice, "The demon... the demon tide has broken out prematurely! And the scale is far greater than before. The barrier is almost broken. It's all because of insufficient magic power..."

He didn't say the rest, but Volame and Ella understood instantly.

It’s because of them!

It was because they forcibly extracted the magic power from the core of the barrier, causing the barrier's defense to be greatly reduced, that they were unable to withstand this sudden and early tide of monsters.

Boundless guilt instantly surged into their hearts, gripping their hearts like an invisible hand.

In order to save Fulilian, they dragged the entire city into a hell of destruction.

"Let us out!" Volame turned suddenly and shouted to the guard at the door, her voice full of urgency, "We are also magicians and can help!"

The guard looked embarrassed. Without the order from his superiors, he didn't dare to release the person.

"Go inform the city lord and the bishop!" Ella said sternly, her aura sending a chill through the guards' hearts. "We have a responsibility to atone for our mistakes!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth, turned around and ran to report.

Soon, the news reached the Duke and Bishop Casalius who were giving emergency commands.

The two were extremely anxious at the moment, and were stunned when they heard Volame and Ella's request.

"Nonsense! What's the point of them coming out now!" The Duke objected subconsciously.

Although these two people are very likely to be the disciples of Lord Celiai, they are not him in person after all, and can play no role in the current situation on the battlefield.

"Let them out, Your Excellency the Duke." Bishop Casalius waved his hand wearily, a complex light flashing in his eyes. "They are very powerful. A little more strength is always good. It will also make them feel better. Maybe we can delay the barrier for a while longer."

"Okay!" Seeing that the bishop said so, the Duke naturally no longer objected and immediately gave the order.

After the guards on the other side hurried away, Volame and Ella waited anxiously.

Outside the prison, the roars of monsters and the humming of the barrier under the heavy burden intertwined, even the walls were shaking slightly, and a lot of dust fell.

"It's all because of us..." Volame's voice was filled with deep remorse. She hadn't expected that her act of wanting to save Fulilian would bring such a huge disaster to the city.

Ella gripped the iron bars tightly, her knuckles turning white. "Now is not the time to regret. We must do something to make amends."

Time seemed to pass unusually slowly.

Finally, heavy footsteps were heard, and the guard returned, followed by a serious-looking temple guard.

The other party took out the key and inserted it into the keyhole, turning it and making a harsh sound.

"The city lord has ordered that you two be released temporarily to assist in the defense!" The knight spoke very quickly.

The restrictions on Volame and Ella were also lifted, and the long-lost magic power began to surge in their bodies again.

They didn't even have time to say thank you. They took the wands handed to them by the guard and rushed out immediately.

The two walked along and came to a barrier control node near the city wall. There were several magicians controlling the barrier, trying hard to keep the barrier from being broken.

The Duke and Bishop Casarius were also present, their faces looking grave enough to drip water.

The light of the barrier flickered violently in the air. Through the increasingly thin film of light, one could clearly see the monsters outside rushing towards them like a black tide.

They were of various shapes and were all frantically attacking the barrier, and every impact made the light dimmer.

"No! The barrier's magic power recovery rate is far behind the consumption! It won't last much longer at this rate!"

A magician responsible for monitoring the state of the barrier shouted loudly, his voice full of despair.

The Duke looked at Volame and Ella suddenly and said, "Aren't you here to help? Hurry and go to the temple to inject magic power into the barrier!"

"This is completely useless!" Ella retorted immediately, "With the magic power of the two of us, we can only delay the barrier from breaking by a few minutes."

"So what do you guys say we should do?"

"We need to go outside!" Volame answered without hesitation. "Staying inside won't effectively relieve the barrier's pressure. We must clear out the monsters on the periphery!"

"No way!!!" the Duke exclaimed in shock, "The barrier doesn't have much magic power to begin with. If I open a crack for you, it will only accelerate its destruction with each opening and closing!

There are so many monsters outside, if you go out, you will probably die without a burial place!"

"This is the most effective method at the moment!" Ella said firmly, "We have the ability to protect ourselves."

The city lord wanted to say something, but the bishop beside them gave them a deep look, a flicker of determination in his eyes: "I agree! Opening a gap the size of a person won't consume too much magic power, and this is the best way right now."

He chose to believe these two magicians who might have learned from legendary masters, and also believed the unquestionable determination on their faces.

Besides, it would be a waste of their talents to let the two of them use magic to fill the barrier. Maybe these two people could really create a miracle?

The old bishop couldn't help but think so.

The city lord agreed after a moment of hesitation, and his eyes softened when he looked at Volame and Ella.

Although the current situation was half caused by the two of them, and the other half was due to the monster tide that broke out prematurely and even exceeded the scale of previous ones, at least these two people were willing to make up for their mistakes.

At this moment, the two magicians quickly manipulated the barrier and struggled to open a small hole on the violently fluctuating light wall that was only big enough for one person to pass through.

Without any hesitation, Volame and Ella cast flying magic at the same time, turning into two streams of light and rushing out of the gap like lightning.

"Close the passage!" the city lord ordered immediately.

The gap was instantly closed, isolating the inside and outside again.

As soon as the two of them rushed out of the barrier, the bloodthirsty gazes of countless monsters immediately focused on them, especially the flying monsters in the air, which swarmed towards the two creatures who dared to leave the barrier.

"Sister Ella, I'll deal with the ground." Volame shouted.

"Okay!" Ella immediately understood.

The next moment, terrifying magical fluctuations erupted above the monster tide.

Volame's magic was unleashed, and countless thick golden arrows of light fell like hail, even exploding directly in the area where the monsters were most densely populated, instantly turning a large number of monsters into charcoal.

Ella also began to attack. Dozens of green vines emerged from the magic circle and pounced in all directions as if they had life. They easily rolled up the flying monsters and squeezed them hard, causing balls of blood mist to explode directly in the air!

Their powerful firepower immediately attracted the attention of a large number of monsters, alleviating the frontal impact on the barrier to a certain extent.

Even the defenders on the city wall began to have unrealistic fantasies that the two people in front of them could really save the city when they saw this scene.

The Duke and Bishop Casalius also looked shocked.

They knew that these two were quite powerful, but they didn't expect them to be this strong.

The ability to kill monsters on a large scale with a wave of the hand is far beyond the reach of ordinary magicians.

"With such strength...it seems that he is really the disciple of that master." The Duke murmured.

The bishop did not speak, but just looked outside the city with a serious expression, without much joy on his face.

The two magicians were indeed extremely brave and their magic power was astonishing. Every time they used their magic, they could clear a large area.

However, there were simply too many monsters.

They seemed endless, constantly pouring in from the distant wilderness, and the places that had just been emptied were instantly filled with new monsters.

Volame and Ella soon realized this as well.

Their magic power was being consumed at an alarming rate, and they had slain thousands of monsters, but looking around, the black tide seemed to show no signs of receding.

"No! There are too many!" The two met briefly in the air. Ella was panting, and her face turned pale from continuously casting high-level magic.

Although Volame had cleared out all the flying monsters, these monsters only accounted for a small part of the monster tide and could not affect the overall battle situation at all.

She gritted her teeth and fired several more beams of light, blowing away more than a dozen monsters, but more monsters immediately followed.

"The light of the barrier is getting weaker!"

Their efforts were in vain, as the light of the barrier had dimmed to the extreme.

Finally, with a loud and clear sound like shattering glass, the powerful barrier that had protected the city for countless years shattered and turned into countless points of light that dissipated in the air.

The city's last barrier disappeared.

"The barrier is broken!!!"

On the city wall, the desperate cries were so clear.

The monster tide, without any obstacles, let out a deafening roar, and like a flood bursting through a dam, launched a final charge towards the city walls and the city!

"Get ready for close combat!" The Duke drew his sword, his voice a little hoarse.

The soldiers raised their shields and spears, and the magic that still had some remaining power was ready to cast the final attack magic, with determination on everyone's face.

Volame and Ella in the air looked at the terrifying waves surging below, their hearts filled with powerlessness and deep regret.

"After all...it's all because of us." Two tears rolled down Volame's eyes.

at this time.

In the center of the battlefield, space suddenly twisted violently without any warning.

A magic circle that exuded an aura far superior to the teleportation magic that Volame and the others had previously cast suddenly unfolded in the air.

The light shot up into the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Even the madly charging tide of monsters was frightened by the astonishing aura emanating from the magic circle, and their offensive was slowed down.

The next moment, three figures slowly appeared in the bright light.

The blonde elf woman in the lead had a cold expression and exuded an icy aura, especially after seeing the tide of monsters under her feet, the aura became even stronger. It was obviously Celie.

The black-haired young man next to her was carrying a white-haired elf girl with a nervous look on her face, clutching his shoulders tightly. They were naturally Lord and Freelian.
