Somewhere along the line, the Federation began tightly netting this small town.
A large number of civilians were evacuated, several troops were urgently summoned, the outer net was set up, and carefully, yet strictly, began to compress inward.
Inside a command camp.
Agents of the Federal Eleventh Bureau, outfitted in black suits, sunglasses, and stern expressions, were seen about. Occupying the center was the map of Blue Star Town.
A commander-like figure drew a large circle around the map of Blue Star Town: âOver fifty thousand civilians have been evacuated, six mechanical units have been deployed⊠The only task set for you is to tear those two bastards apart. Do you understand?â
The attack on Nia City was the Federationâs first terrifying casualty in its peaceful years, provoking anger from the upper to the lower ranks, filled with a desire for revenge.
âUnderstood!â
A row of elite troops responded in unison.
âWhat about the two council members?â
Only then did the commander think to ask about other matters.
âWe are already here! â
Accompanied by voices and light, many people discovered to their surprise that two individuals had suddenly appeared in the heart of the command camp.
One of them was wearing loose silver robes, with golden hair, an aged face, and exuding the air of a scholar. He was the Chief of Green Tree Castleâs Inner Circle, a fifth-order[Arcanic Caster], Dunstan Berg!
Standing next to him was the Vice-Chief, Celsus, a legendary occupational person whose body was enveloped within a black robe, exuding a dangerous aura.
âExcellent⊠When dealing with legendary powerful beings, we will have to rely on the both of you to take the lead!â
The Dawn of Gods was not the only historical example; there have been other instances of nations hunting down high-level occupational persons. All these experiences were secretly handed down and continue to play a role today.
At least the commander knew that in the face of such powerful beings, ordinary people could only serve as cannon fodder and would need top strongmen leading the Occupational Army as support.
âI have already set up a âDimensional Lockâ; those two villains wonât be able to break through the lockdown and teleportâŠâ Chief Dunstan Berg was the first to speak.
âThen⊠I declare the operation to commence!â
The commander glanced again at the small town, which was now under martial law, and announced loudly.
Boom!
A few seconds later.
A terrifying explosion sprouted from the center of the town and spread outward incessantly.
Light!
The dazzling intense light almost instantly shrouded the town and soon turned into a mushroom cloud that rose gradually.
The shockwave swept through recklessly, destroying buildings and wiping the town off the map.
âLevitation Skill!â
âDefense Field!â
Two spells emerged, and Dunstan and Celsus simultaneously flew to the townâs airspace.
Nothing could escape from underneath the explosion.
In the flying dust, two human figures gradually appeared.
These were the two legendary occupational persons who had been chased and eventually cornered in Blue Star Town â Moron and Black KOS, the culprits of the Nia City tragedy!
âHehe⊠As expected of master[Arcanic Caster], the power of such a spell could have destroyed armies and obliterated cities in ancient times, right?â
Black KOS, covered with a layer of black liquid, laughed deeply.
âThis aura⊠too weak!â
Next to Dunstan, Celsus suddenly warned: âNo⊠what are you⊠exactly?â
âHa ha⊠Have I been found out? There was no other way, the Arcanic explosion just now was too powerfulâŠâ
Black Kos casually responded.
Next to him, the original Archbishop Moron Goebbelsâ skin and flesh fell off piece by piece, dissolving in mid-air into black droplets.
Their two figures gradually became unreal, like two fully fleshed shadows!
âImpossible!â
In the ground command post, the commander held his head in his hands and nearly screamed in meltdown: âWe pursued for nine days, suffering heavy casualties, only to find that weâre chasing two⊠fakes?! â
âThe ability of a [Phantom Master] after advancing? Indeed, it is quite wondrous!â
There was not much expression on Dunstanâs elderly face. Apparently, in his life, this shock didnât even rank in the top five.
âIf this were before, my Light and Shadow Magic would not be able to fool so many people. But now, I am a [Phantom Demon]! A Fifth-Level [Phantom Demon]!â
âIf it werenât for that Celsus who is adept at Shadow Magic at your side, I might be able to hold on for a while longer. But⊠itâs enough!â Black Kos roared.
After he finished speaking, he and Moronâs figures turned into two balls of light that burst open with a boom.
Even the most powerfully forged avatar is ultimately a fake!
The previous saturation attacks have actually destroyed the platforms they relied on to survive!
âIs this to distract the target and facilitate their escape?â
However, Dunstan did not leave. Instead, he quietly watched this scene, his eyes seeming to flicker with light as he replayed the previous scenes. âPerhaps⊠they have other objectives? If so, they must try to tie our hands and feet!â
âRoar!â
Just then, there was a sudden disturbance from the encirclement on the eastern side of the town.
A colossal shadow suddenly appeared materializing from the air, instantly threw a huge rock from the sky.
âEnemy⊠Enemy attack!â
âThe attacker is a Fifth-Level Legendary CreatureâMountain Giant!â
âHelp!!!â
The Mountain Giant roared, its massive body charged into the army, immediately causing blood and gore.
âMountain Giants are usually gentle unless they face their natural enemies⊠This one must have been provoked!â
With a flash of light, Dunstan descended, saying solemnly: âIts defenses are high, and its vitality is strong, and it has the skill of Spirit World Traversal. Itâs hard for us to kill it. The best way is to communicate with it!â
Chirp!
Just then, a red flame suddenly appeared in the sky.
The majestic figure of the Fire Phoenix emerged amid the crisp and pleasant cries.
It identified its target and rushed towards the rampaging child of the mountain.
The clash between the two Legendary creatures caused devastation all around, with many of the surrounding troops caught in the crossfire, resulting in heavy casualties.
âThese two legendary creatures appeared only in Posey Port⊠It seems Black
Kos attracted them here by some unknown method. Is it s the ability of the
[Phantom Demon]?â
Even Dunstan could not fully understand the abilities of the legendary occupations.
But now that he saw all this, he could only sigh and fly into the air. âIn the name of Arcane Power! Lockdown!â
The flickering energies formed an encirclement as Dunstan raised his right hand.
The trapped Fire Phoenix seemed a little cautious, but soon its cries became more urgent.
âChild of fire, please leave this place!â
Dunstan made his last effort.
The Fire Phoenix originally retracted the flames on its wings, but seeing the roaring Mountain Giant on the ground, it suddenly cried out loudly. An abundance of fire turned into falling meteors, breaking through the Arcane encirclement, and crashing into the ground.
Boom!
Sparks flew in all directions!
