Slashing to Establish Authority, Golden Cloud Sea!
The figure on the Golden Throne slowly rose to his feet.
He looks very young.
She wore a magnificent white and gold robe, the surface of which was covered with sun-like patterns resembling liquid metal.
His left hand, which hung naturally, wore a dark gold glove inlaid with seven crimson crystals.
Her long, snow-white hair was tied up with a Crystal Crown that blended blue and gold, and she wore a mask made of gold on her face.
The surface is covered with dense sun-like patterns, starting from the groove between the eyebrows that resembles a vertical eye, flowing from top to bottom in a gradient from pale gold to bright white, reflecting a luminous glow like the morning sun in the sunlight.
Large swaths of lightning and air currents surrounded him, and the sunlight falling from the sky above the Wind Plain almost entirely enveloped him, coating his entire body with an indescribable, dazzling golden hue.
He stood atop Thunder Eagle, bathed in the boundless light of dawn, as if holding some Formless Authority, exuding indescribable nobility, mystery, and majesty.
Serena stared blankly at the figure above her, a hint of disorientation appearing in her lake-green eyes.
Not only her, but almost all the wizards of the Life Royal Court present were somewhat dazed, their minds completely captivated by the aura and charm of this "Golden Dawn".
"Something doesn't seem right."
The sudden sound in her ear pulled Serena back from her daze.
"What?"
Serena subconsciously turned her head to look at Fomingge beside her.
But at this moment, Fomingge was staring intently in one direction, his ashen eyes gleaming with an inexplicable and strange light.
"How come this person with such an extraordinary background and the renowned Golden Dawn is only at level four?"
"Level 4?!"
Serena was startled, then looked at the figure in front of the Golden Throne above her head.
Fomingge was right. The spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the figure shrouded in endless radiance did indeed belong to the category of Level Four Wizard, and did not possess the characteristics exclusive to Level Five Wizard.
Serena realized this, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
Hailed as the number one young talent of the Destiny Empire, and handpicked by the New Prophet as "Golden Dawn," he shouldn't be limited to only Level Four Wizard by any measure!
This seems far too incredible.
It can't be...
Fomingge twitched the corner of his mouth, without finishing the rest of his sentence.
Serena suppressed her doubts, shook her head subtly, and then stepped forward to meet the figure.
However, at that moment, a young man standing on the back of the Thunder Eagle, wearing Crystal Crown and Platinum Magic Robe, stepped forward and walked towards Serena.
Immediately following, amidst countless dense and crisp metallic resonances, countless golden "doves" suddenly flew out from beneath the robes he wore.
Serena stopped in her tracks, blinked, and watched as countless golden pigeons soared into the sky like a tide, dyeing a large part of the sky in a thick, luxurious golden hue.
Those weren't "pigeons," but rather gold fragments shaped like musical notes.
They interlocked tightly together, vibrating out a magnificent and strange song, like countless people singing aloud the same words, praising the same name.
A dense aura of Dharma flowed out along the radiant and magnificent figure.
The free energy particles in this space exhibited unusual fluctuations, and the sky above the Thunder Eagle began to be tinged with the colors of dawn.
When a massive, narrow fissure, resembling a wound in the heavens, suddenly appeared, torrents of golden magma poured down, and a forbidden aura rapidly dissipated. The musical note-shaped golden fragments eventually coalesced into a golden blade, half the size of the Ancient Thunder Eagle's wings, flowing with endless asphalt -Golden Fire, and interwoven with countless ruby-like runes.
Serena finally realized that something was wrong.
"Run! This guy isn't here to help us!"
Standing beside Serena, Fomingge pulled Serena behind him, shielding her as they quickly retreated.
Serena retreated swiftly, constantly urging the Four-Legged Flying Dragon beneath her to struggle and take flight despite being suppressed by the Ancient Thunder Eagle's strength and bloodline rank. Behind her, the wizards of the Life Royal Court also emitted energy fluctuations as they cast spells.
"Boom!"
It was as if an ancient, forbidden golden blade had suddenly slashed down, heading straight for Serena's head.
Serena was overwhelmed by the overwhelming golden pressure, her breath caught in her throat, her emerald pupils contracted sharply, and countless white and golden lights surged from her delicate body, quickly outlining the silhouette of an armored suit of armor.
Before she could react, the enormous Golden Flame Blade quietly turned around and slashed diagonally in another direction beside Serena.
In that instant, Serena saw behind the cascading sword light, like a golden waterfall, countless dreamlike and enchanting scenes of a golden world.
Accompanied by the omnipresent Song of Fire Gold, it almost drew her mind in once again.
However, Serena's daze was interrupted by a furious roar.
She looked up sharply in the direction of the sound and saw that Fomingge, whose black robes billowed and whose long hair was entwined with countless dark energies, was clashing fiercely with the radiant Golden Flame Blade.
"Boom!"
A terrifying shockwave erupted, instantly leveling the floating island beneath their feet, leaving the ground covered in mottled gold.
Serena steered her Four-Legged Flying Dragon and led a group of Life Royal Court wizards swiftly away from the floating island.
The silver-haired witch beside her stepped forward, about to say something, but Serena raised her hand to stop her.
"Let's wait and see."
Serena had regained her composure, and the outline of her armor gradually faded away.
She stared at the sudden outbreak of battle in the distance, her beautiful eyes flashing, and whispered, "It seems he wants to use Fomingge to establish his authority."
"Boom--"
The Golden Flame Blade splashed across the void, creating a dreamlike and enchanting golden world. The Song of Fire Gold accompanied the flames, and the asphalt-like golden flames rolled into waves, with huge red jade fire rings spreading out in concentric circles.
Like a fly bobbing around in a golden tsunami, Fomingge's pale, handsome face was now filled with coldness and anger. He looked quite disheveled, with waves of dark energy surging around him.
"The Black Ash Ring!"
Suddenly, Fomingge let out a low roar, spreading his hands outwards. On his slender fingers, a full twenty obsidian rings shimmered with purple light, blinking like eerie eyes.
Immediately afterwards, a huge dark energy Arcane Circle condensed and appeared around his body. The Arcane Circle was so solid that it was covered with countless purple runes. As soon as it was summoned, it rapidly expanded and stretched outward.
"Snap—"
Before the dark purple Arcane Circle could expand to its maximum, the terrifying golden flame blade light followed closely behind and slashed down.
"Bang!"
The blade clashed with the Arcane Circle, producing a metallic clang, before a brief stalemate ensued.
Fomingge's face was ashen. He rapidly chanted incantations, mobilizing his spiritual power as Level Five Wizard, while coldly glancing at the figure on the back of the thunder eagle.
"Click-click-click—"
Just as the dark purple Arcane Circle was about to support the blade's light, the figure standing before the Golden Throne, with a pair of azure, diamond-like eyes beneath the Dawn Mask that showed no emotion, suddenly transformed into two strange vortexes, one as cold as ice and the other as fiery.
Following
"Boom!"
An incomparably powerful spiritual force emanated from his body and soared upwards.
In an instant, it was as if countless golden celestial bodies appeared, circling and colliding around the figure in the Platinum Magic Robe, finally bursting out with a scorching light comparable to that of a star.
On the back of the Ancient Thunder Eagle, it seemed as if a golden sun was slowly rising!
"Boom!"
The terrifying mental power brought about an even more terrifying magical amplification. The Golden Flame Blade, which was originally locked in a stalemate with the dark purple Arcane Circle, suddenly expanded and grew several times larger, its size exceeding that of a single wing of the Ancient Thunder Eagle in an instant.
The chanting of the Song of Fire Gold that had been lingering in the void suddenly became incredibly high-pitched, and the entire world was filled with a sound like rapid, metallic vibrations. Asphalt-like golden flames poured down from the sky like a tsunami.
As the terrifying blade flashed, the magnificent golden landscape behind the Golden Waterfall slowly unfolded before everyone like an epic scroll, stretching almost from the center of the battlefield all the way to the distant horizon of the Wind Plain.
Fomingge's ashen eyes widened suddenly, countless sparks flashing blindingly within them. His tightly pursed lips parted, and before he could even make a look of shock or emotion, the dark purple Arcane Circle around him shattered silently under the flash of the blade.
Fomingge's face and body twisted simultaneously, melting away like a wisp of black smoke in the dazzling golden flames.
Hiss—
In the distance, the wizards of the Life Royal Court who witnessed this scene instinctively gasped, almost unable to believe what they were seeing.
"Is this Level 4?"
Serena was also stunned, her beautiful face momentarily frozen in a daze.
She was able to tolerate Fomingge's rudeness and ambition precisely because of Fomingge's strength.
As the most outstanding genius of the Elemental Magic Ring generation, in the "Bow of Hunting" trial presided over by the Life Royal Court, Fomingge almost single-handedly raised the Elemental Magic Ring to a level comparable to Super Large wizarding force.
He even suppressed several top-level Level Five Wizard geniuses from Super Large wizarding forces in one-on-one head-on battles during the trials, ranking among the top five in the Bow of Hunting Trial.
However, now...
Fomingge was completely overwhelmed head-on by someone whose strength was a whole major realm lower than his.
This is simply unbelievable.
"Golden Dawn..."
Serena recited the name again, and a hint of brilliance gradually appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"@#%¥%"
Ancient incantations echoed at one end of the battlefield, while Fomingge, melted into the golden light of the sword, appeared in another location in an elemental form.
At this moment, his long black hair hung down like ink, and his face and exposed skin were as pale as the cold moon, revealing dense blue veins. Some dark demonic patterns crawled and writhed on the surface of his skin like snakes.
Behind him, a huge black disc appeared.
This was a strange magic circle. Within the black disc, black rings of varying shades rotated in different directions like gears. Billowing black smoke rose from Fomingge's body, and massive amounts of Darkness-Type, free-flowing energy surged forth from the black magic circle like a flood. Fomingge's aura also rapidly increased.
As the momentum reached its peak, the inky energy emanating from the black magic disc, like murky water, covered large swathes of golden flames.
"You... forced me to do this."
Fomingge suddenly looked up, staring intently at the young figure on the back of the Thunder Eagle in the distance. His ashen eyes revealed a chilling and cruel light as he spoke in a low voice, gritting his teeth.
Serena's eyes flickered slightly, and she quietly took two steps forward.
This is the power of the Inheritance Magic Array of Fomingge, which she has seen more than once during the Bow of Hunting Trial.
Although the Elemental Magic Ring is only a large wizarding force, due to the special nature of its Arcane Ring Inheritance, the upper limit of its magical power is theoretically no less than that of a typical Super Large wizarding force.
Fomingge is a genius, a prodigy, who has taken this to the extreme.
Serena was well aware of Fomingge's strength, so she focused more of her attention on his opponent.
Meanwhile, the young figure wearing the Dawn Mask, who was Fomingge's opponent, seemed to remain completely unmoved in his azure eyes despite Fomingge's display of strength.
He simply made a simple movement—slightly raising his right hand.
Immediately afterwards, the magnificent and dazzling Golden Flame Blade in the sky rapidly disintegrated into countless musical note-shaped fragments, which, like countless golden doves, flapped their wings and quickly soared into the sky above.
It was just a fleeting moment.
The Sky Dome Wind Plain was completely dyed with a rich golden hue.
The thick, golden clouds rolled and surged sluggishly like lead blocks, revealing beautiful patterns of light like rubies and an even purer, more transparent golden radiance. The omnipresent chanting did not disappear; instead, it became more magnificent and ethereal, as if it were descending from the highest and most distant clouds, praising some supreme being.
Serena suddenly felt a tickle on her cheek.
She subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful, plucking only a small fragment that looked like golden leaves. She gently rubbed it between her fingers, and it turned into a small cluster of dazzling golden sparks.
When she looked up, she was shocked to discover—
Beneath the thick, Golden Cloud Sea, this void had, unbeknownst to many, become filled with countless golden fragments of varying sizes, resembling feathers of light or withered leaves.
Behind the sea of clouds, it seemed as if some extremely large and indescribable terrifying entity quietly lowered its eyes and looked down through the clouds.
At that moment, everyone present, including Serena, felt a profound sense of horror and fear that shook their very souls and almost made them want to kneel down in worship.
