"Attack."
With a silent order, Angel Power surged around the 3,201 angels. Centered on Meltis, it gathered into a sharp blade.
In an instant, the blade broke away from the Angel Battle Formation and flew toward the giant city below.
At the same time, Meltis led her army behind the blade and dove toward the ground.
"You should go as well."
"Yes."
The six Soul Intent High-level Angels answered in unison, then descended to oversee the army.
Under Meltis's main formation, the Angel Battle Formation could withstand more than ten Soul Intent High-level Transcendents. However, forcing such resistance would inflict a certain degree of damage upon the lower-ranking angels' souls.
A brilliant light appeared, illuminating the entire city.
Within Iris City, thousands of Dark Elves covered their eyes, unable to make out the scene in the sky.
In but an instant, a deafening boom rang out. A bottomless ravine split the giant city in two, reducing hundreds of palaces to ruins.
At that moment, Dark Elf Matriarch Ilisik, who had been praying inside the temple, heard the thunderous crash. She abruptly opened her eyes and assumed a guarded stance.
Once she discovered that the disturbance came from outside, she slowly rose to her feet and walked toward the temple entrance.
"Enemies!"
"Quick, report to the Matriarch!"
"Call the army! Protect the temple!"
"..."
The incessant clamor turned the entire temple noisy and chaotic.
Dark Elf Matriarch Ilisik's expression instantly turned livid. She had already made up her mind that, once this unrest was over, every guard and servant within the temple would be sacrificed to the great Spider Queen to atone for their insolence.
She pushed open the doors and stepped out of the main hall. Before she could berate anyone, the sky suddenly became as bright as day.
"Angels?"
