Chapter 501: 499 Fire Extinguished (Part 1)_1

Bang!

The moment Colin twisted off the head of the red-robed mage, the giant blue cocoon that had been floating above him exploded.

Inside the blue cocoon, there was nothing but a burst of intense blue light radiating in all directions.

Colin found his vision completely occupied by the color blue, unable to see anything else.

Even when he closed his eyes, it remained the same.

However, once he discovered that the blue light didn’t harm him, Colin calmed down and waited patiently.

After a while, the blue light gradually dissipated.

Colin reopened his eyes, to find the giant blue cocoon above his head had completely disappeared.

The enormous magic array beneath his feet was flickering faint lights, intensifying in frequency as though some drastic change was about to happen.

Without intention to linger, Colin instantly grabbed Anna by the back of her neck, flapped his wings, and prepared to leave.

However, just before breaking through the warehouse roof, Colin circled back, picked up the corpse of the red-robed mage with his other hand, and once again soared into the sky.

Bang!

Breaking through the roof and flying high into the sky, Colin glanced back at the warehouse.

The whole building began to collapse slowly after he left.

Oddly enough, a bottomless black hole replaced the ruins of the warehouse on the ground. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Then, the raging fire dragons that were wreaking havoc in White Dew City started to gather rapidly towards the center of the magic array— the location of the black hole.

Every fire dragon that approached was swallowed whole by the black hole.

It was as if these fire dragons didn’t belong to this timeline and had finally returned to where they were supposed to be through this black hole.

With the disappearance of each fire dragon, the extensive fire in White Dew City began to die down slowly.

Seeing this scene, Colin sighed in relief.

He had been worrying about how to control such a huge fire.

But now it seemed he didn’t need to worry about that anymore.

Luckily, the fire hadn’t been burning for too long. He estimated that a fair number of residents in White Dew City would have survived.

Whoosh—

Two golden beams of light suddenly rushed from the east of the city toward the direction of the black hole.

Seeing this, Colin knew that these were the two Holy Knights in battle. He quickly flapped his wings and disappeared into the dark night in a blink of an eye.

…

“Mr. Ji, it seems your plan has failed,” Prince Lexie said emotionlessly. In his tone, a sense of wicked delight was discernible.

With eyes seemingly penetrating the black hole before him to another world, Mr. Ji sighed, replying,

“Prince Lexie, looks like you’ve dodged a bullet. ”

“Dodge?” Lexie scoffed contemptuously, “Seems like the one who has been running around is you.”

With a slight smile, Mr. Ji appeared unaffected by their failed plan, nor was he provoked by Lexie’s mockery. He said mildly,

“There’s no choice. I haven’t completely adapted to this body yet, so I’m afraid I can’t duel with you for the time being.”

With that said, Mr. Ji immediately transformed into a golden light and shot up into the sky.

“Think you can escape?”

Prince Lexie roared furiously, instantly catching up.

…

Outside White Dew City.

Count Nicoll gazed at White Dew City engulfed in raging flames with a disoriented look, a sense of surrealism washing over his relief.

Is White Dew City about to be destroyed again?

A squad of soldiers wearing Pegasus Army uniforms rushed out of the city, but before they even escaped the sea of fire, they were devoured by the sudden leaping flames.

The soldiers who were still gasping for air struggled in the sea of fire, letting out deafeningly harrowing screams that were spine-chilling to hear.

The incessant screams continued to wash over from inside the city, it was unbearable to hear.

Count Nicoll, watching this scene, finally seemed to realize something. He suddenly wept old tears, murmuring:

“Count Evan, is this your real plan?”

Just then, the earth began to tremble.

Thump…thump…thump…

The endless galloping of horse hooves sounded from behind and was getting clearer.

The deputy officer rushed over to report in a panic:

“Sir Count, the Blood Knight Army is here. Should we retreat first?”

Count Nicoll gave a wry smile, saying:

“Retreat? Where can we withdraw to?”

Immediately the deputy officer fell silent and after a while asked, “Should we prepare to line up then?”

“Line up?” Count Nicoll gestured to the panicked and terrified soldiers around him, retorting, “Even if we set up a good formation, can they resist a charge from the Blood Knight Army?”

Watching Count Nicoll who seemed to have given up completely on everything, the deputy officer opened his mouth to say something but failed to find any words of comfort.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye, the Nicoll family’s army was surrounded by the Blood Knight Army.

Fortunately, the Blood Knight Army had no intention of attacking. Instead, they sent an envoy to find Count Nicoll, saying:

“Sir Count, Knight Logh wishes to see you.”

Usually, facing such a condescending invitation, Count Nicoll would have put up some pretense even if he knew he had no choice but to go.

But now, watching White Dew City engulfed by the sea of fire, Count Nicoll suddenly felt a wave of desolation.

Without saying a word, he followed behind the envoy like a surrendered prisoner and headed towards the Blood Knight Army’s camp.

“Count Nicoll.”

Hearing his name being called out, the dazed Count Nicoll slowly came back to his senses and looked up at the Northern Knight before him, saying respectfully:

“Knight Logh, I apologize for causing such a scene… additionally, I deeply regret the unfortunate demise of Count Angler…”

“Who told you that Count Angler had an unfortunate demise?”

“What?”

Count Nicoll stood there dumbfounded, his mouth agape, suddenly at a loss for words.

Knight Logh chuckled and said, “Count Angler sent a message just now, asking us to prepare to enter the city.”

“Enter…enter the city?” Count Nicoll’s concern for whether Count Angler was dead or not was entirely forgotten. He pointed at the raging White Dew City, his eyes expressing skepticism.

Are you guys insane?

Count Nicoll wondered if this Knight Logh had lost his sanity.

Knight Logh seemed oblivious to the skepticism in Count Nicoll’s eyes and continued to say:

“Yes, we are preparing to enter the city. However, given the heavy losses suffered by the St. Prowse Family in this rebellion, the East Territory needs a respected noble to take overall charge and comfort the people.

Count Angler considers you to be perfect for the role. Would you be interested in taking on this responsibility?”

Count Nicoll suspected that Knight Logh had indeed gone mad.

Enter the city now?

Isn’t that suicidal?

As he hesitated on how to make this commander of the Blood Knight Army come to his senses, he suddenly heard a cheer from behind:

“The fire’s out! The fire’s out!”

“It’s a divine sign from the Lord of Glory!”

“Quick, let’s go! Let’s go into the city to save people!”
