In the earth-shattering explosion just now, at least half of the Ghost City area had been burned to slag. If Tantamut had not forced Metatron and Apodel to fight to the death when Shar forced them to fight to the death, the population of Ghost City would have been reduced by half.
Even so, the ghosts who stayed behind to watch the battle were reduced to ashes in the explosion.
They immediately spotted the only two survivors in the ruins. The Ghost City Lord, Tantamut, nearly gnawed his missing teeth to pieces. "...What...did you do!?"
Apodale was silent for a moment, then replied, "The question is not, what did we do?"
He stepped forward and spoke loudly, "How do you compare to the Dark Goddess Shar? Her avatar has already collapsed here. Do you still want to resist?"
"Ridiculous! I don't know what you did, but I know you're powerless to resist right now!" Tantamut snorted coldly. "Apodel, where is the weapon you used to slaughter my offspring? Was it also melted in the explosion?"
As expected, it was either buried or melted down.
When the paladin was unarmed, even Apodel Adrian would never be a match for Tantamut.
But there was no fear on Apodale's face. On the contrary, he had a genuine smile on his face.
He said, "You have been away from the material plane for too long, and you don't know how much this world has changed. Every one of your previous offensives has failed for this reason."
Then, the paladin slowly drew another Holy Avenger from his waist.
To be precise, just like the time under Candlekeep, it was a Holy Avenger wrapped in a scroll, waiting to be forged.
Apodel gripped the scroll and scabbard tightly, concentrating his thoughts on the blade.
Then, the scroll burned and the sword was unsheathed.
The holy storm swept through the ruined City of Ghosts, sweeping away all the blessing spells on the Son of Tantamut.
Apodel breathed a sigh of relief and hefted the new Holy Avenger onto his shoulders. "...Times have changed. It's time for young people to shine."
Sixty-eight Fallen Cities (Part 2)
In the end what happened.
Even though Larloch boasted that he had been through hundreds of battles and had traveled all over Faerun in the past few thousand years, he had never seen a day as turbulent as today.
I don’t even understand how the failure of this war came about.
Hundreds of liches, floating cities, shadow dragons, and even incarnations of gods have appeared.
With this configuration, it should be easy to capture Candlekeep, let alone Waterdeep, the greatest Radiant City in Faerun and headquarters of the Harpers.
In the end, they were stopped by the Church of Knowledge and Baldur's Gate?
Not to mention seizing the secret that Candle Castle has been protecting, they don't even have the chance to see what the secret is.
But it's not like Larroque is completely clueless.
He was now at the core of the entire Ghost City, and the shining Nether energy core was quietly rotating in front of him.
And in this top-secret place where no one should ever invade, there is an object that should never appear.
A conical metal cannonball.
Not long ago, this shell stumbled through the dense underground pipes of Ghost City, tearing a small hole in the core area of the city. Now, the shell was embedded in the inner wall of the core area.
shocking.
The world has once again reached a crossroads of change. Some people will become famous throughout the world, while others will be forgotten.
Larloch looked at the Nether energy core in front of him and smiled.
His purpose for coming here has not changed since the beginning.
——Even if he unfortunately stands on the opposite side of the world trend, he must first turn the world upside down.
-----------------
The brief confrontation in Ghost City soon came to an end.
When Emiya and his companions arrived at the City of Ghosts, they happened to see Metatron completely regenerated and standing up with some difficulty.
In her duel with Shar, Metatron, once a seraph, was nearly wiped out—her longbow was easily destroyed by Shar, and her Moonlight Greatsword was completely burned dry in the clash. The boundless moonfire gifted to Emya by Selûne was no match for true divine power, and was eroded by darkness the moment Shar was destroyed, completely losing its power.
But even so, when she stood firmly and spread her wings, all the people who had seen the raging fire in the Ghost City could not help but tremble.
She was the non-god creature who defeated and destroyed the incarnation of God head-on.
Even though this battle was almost a fight to the death, even though she had lost almost all her weapons, it could not change this fact.
It could be said that after this battle, mortals finally realized the true magnitude of the Seraphim, and understood the magnitude of the damage Zariel's fall into demonism had inflicted on the material plane.
No matter how conceited the Lord of Ghost City is, he can never think that his power can be comparable to that of the incarnation of God.
"...We admit defeat. We acknowledge the injustice of this invasion." The Lord of the City of Ghosts, Tantamut, looked at Metatron, who slowly stood up, and finally squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, "...Now we only hope to return to the Shadowfell Underworld."
Apodel's frown finally relaxed after he saw Emiya and his group appear unharmed.
The unexpected loss of Emiya and his group was the biggest variable in their battle. However, from the current perspective, they not only escaped danger, but also successfully achieved their original goal.
A group of little guys who can bring miracles... no, who can make miracles part of the action.
But then, Apodel shook his head and said to the Lord of Ghost City, "Negotiations always require bargaining chips... Now, why don't we pursue them relentlessly and completely eliminate the threat of Ghost City? Give us a reason."
Tantamut was clearly unaccustomed to interacting with others on equal terms, and all he could do was snort coldly. "First, we're not done yet. We may not be able to win, but if forced to, we can inflict damage on Candlekeep before it's reduced to ashes. Lord Apodale, just because Candlekeep isn't your property, does that mean you don't care about its continued existence?"
Apodale narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled.
The paladin is at a great disadvantage in this temporary ceasefire negotiation: his opponent can use all kinds of benefits to kidnap him at will, and he cannot fight back.
This is especially true now that we are the winners of this stage.
Then, the old paladin took a step back without any psychological burden and gave his position to Emiya and others.
"...Huh? Let us do it?" This scene also scared Emiya.
"It's time for you to go to the center of the stage." Apodel patted Emilia's shoulder.
Then, he carried the Holy Avenger in a very shameless manner and took a few steps towards the people of Ghost City, forcing them to take a few steps back.
Tantamut was silent for a moment, looking behind Emiya and his group: "...According to the intelligence, your team should be five people?"
Emiya shook her head. "According to the intelligence, you have more than a dozen children. Why are there less than ten standing here?"
This sentence almost choked Tantamut to death - why did he have less than ten offspring? Wasn't it because they were just killed by Apodel?!
Tantamut thought he had seen a lot over the millennia, but he was still nearly defeated by one sentence: "What right do you have to stand against me?"
At this moment, Metatron took a few breaths and said coldly: "—Because he is my only student, he can represent me."
"Let's get straight to the point." Emilia didn't want to waste time here.
Now, Larloch's whereabouts are unknown and the lich has not retreated.
To put it bluntly, from the very beginning, the essence of the battle for the Ghost City side was Shar's own tentacles. The strength of the Ghost City was far from enough to compare with Larloch.
The threat posed by the people from Ghost City present is not as great as the city itself.
"You may leave, but under the following conditions: First: The group of shadow spirits led by Haverfonte has caused us great trouble. Is she one of your subordinates?"
“…Yes, but…”
"Okay." Emilia spoke crisply.
——Because his think tank is actually chattering in his mind.
"The influence they cause is extremely negative. You must expel them from the Church of Shar and hand them over to us. From now on, no matter how we manipulate her, you must not interfere: rescue, assassination... no matter what happens, she will have nothing to do with Shar anymore." He raised a finger. "You are both her superiors and the leaders of the church. You have this right."
"..." Tantamut and his heir, Archbishop Livalen of the Shar Church, exchanged a glance. "Okay. But we don't know where she is now."
"Her people should still be left in the City of Ghosts, right? Just hand them over." Emiya didn't give Tantamut any time to think carefully.
"Then I can agree."
For the local forces of Ghost City, this group of forces that may threaten them are completely negative assets, and being able to push them out with justification is something they would have loved to have.
"Then secondly." Emiya narrowed her eyes slightly. "Your City of Ghosts seems to have the ability to travel between the material plane and the Shadowfell Underworld... We need all relevant information about this ability. If this ability requires related consumables, you must unconditionally provide enough for the City of Ghosts to travel five times."
"Varied--"
This was obviously beyond Tantamut's expectations.
He originally thought that what the other party wanted was nothing more than money and an apology, and at most, they requested that the City of Ghosts never set foot in the material plane again.
But I never expected that after just the second one, he would start making such a fatal request!
This is one of the most core skills of Shade City, and it can be said to be the key to Shade City's self-esteem as the descendants of Netheril.
Without this technology, Ghost City would be just a ghost town wandering in the Shadowless Underworld.
Who wants to wander around in such a barren world until it's destroyed? They have to return to the material plane after all!
If this technology were to leak out, they would be taking enormous risks every time they came to the material plane!
"We can't answer that—" Before Tantamut could finish his words, the entire city suddenly shook violently.
The surging magical energy suddenly got out of control.
Everyone in the Ghost City felt that their bodies became lighter.
No, it's not that my body becomes lighter.
Rather, the city has lost its buoyancy.
“…!?” Tantamut was stunned for a moment, and then his shadowy body was almost twisted into a thin thread due to incomparable fear. “Damn it! Damn it! Larloch!!! How dare you!!!”
He said to Emiya and his group in a voice that was almost screaming: "I can give you this technology! The premise is that you can protect the Ghost City!"
At the same moment, Larock, in the city's core area a few hundred meters below, made a casual move, doing what he had wanted to do from the beginning.
This great arcanist of the Netheril era cracked the arcane of the City of Ghosts and took the Nether Energy Core, the core of the entire floating city and the key to the city's ability to float in the sky, from the city.
In an instant, this mountain, which may have weighed millions of tons, lost its buoyancy and began to tilt slowly.
And below this floating city is Candlekeep, which is fighting against the Lich.
Larloch chuckled sinisterly, "...The battle isn't over yet. It's a little premature to talk now."
The Ten Rings Mountain Moving Technique at the End of Volume
Emiya couldn't even react to what happened at first.
He had seen the earth shake and the sky ignite with fire.
but now?
The solid ground suddenly felt empty, as if Emiya was flying.
——Even though he was clearly still standing on the ground of the floating city.
The clouds in the floating city seemed to have gained wings and flapped their wings to fly into the sky.
The one who reacted the fastest among Emiya's group was Apodel. He shouted, "—The City of Ghosts has lost its buoyancy! It's falling!"
How far is Shade City from Candlekeep?
This point, Emilia had already calculated in order to bombard the Ghost City -
The floating height of the Ghost City is only three hundred meters.
This distance should be enough to accommodate a skyscraper.
However, when Shade, the floating city that had successfully escaped Karsus's folly, lost its power and began to free fall, it would crash to the earth in just seven seconds.
It will serve as the world's most magnificent hammer, delivering a devastating blow to Candlekeep.
No, it would be too much of an underestimation to talk about Candle Castle at this time.
The City of Ghosts is a city built on a real mountain! The weight of its base will be a terrifying number that will make humans dizzy.
Maybe hundreds of millions of tons, maybe billions of tons.
In seven seconds, it would accelerate faster and faster under the pull of gravity, eventually destroying an entire landmass on the western side of Faerun. Candlekeep would be a mere roadside pebble that would be destroyed by the aftermath of its fall.
This time is only enough to complete one spell!
"I can give you this technology! The prerequisite is that you can protect the Ghost City!"
The words of the Ghost City Lord are still fresh in my mind - but at this point, who can do anything?!
At this moment, there was nothing I could do but protect myself and the innocent people nearby. Property and the city—all were destined to be reduced to ashes in this earth-shattering collision.
Not to mention, they don’t know where Lalok is now, so what if they find Lalok?
