nSun Sorcerer Hogan then raised his staff, and pointed it at the group of Elementalists.

nHe chanted a word in Oardic, and a beam of light shot out from his staff, hitting the six Elementalists.

n“Aahh!”

n“Why are you doing this?!”

n“Sir Hogan?! This isn’t what we—”

nThey screamed, as they felt their bodies burning.

nIt didn’t take that long before they turned into ashes, leaving no trace behind.

nThis stunned Vale and the others who were watching everything unfold.

n‘What a waste. You should’ve let me extract them instead of killing them just like that…’ Vale sighed at this thought.

nThe Sun Sorcerer Hogan then turned his attention to Vale and his group.

nHe smiled, and said in a mocking tone.

n“And you… You are part of the rebels who dare to claim to have the power to break the capital’s Barrier, and overthrow the tyrant king? You are the ones who seek to change the kingdom and bring a new era?”

nVale felt annoyed at his words and was already thinking of attacking him.

n“Yes… You will see the Barrier’s destruction tomorrow if you are there.” Vale replied.

n“I will be leading the Elite Sorcerers of the Church to deal with the Druids of the Royal Family. However, we may not even have the chance if you fail to break it. You can’t underestimate that Barrier. It was not a simple Formation Art that relied on Magic Circles and expensive objects.” Sun Sorcerer replied as he still felt unconvinced.

nTheir Church will risk everything tomorrow, and nothing could go wrong. They would rather delay the final war than fail at their mission.

nIf their Church gathered enough believers in the next year or two, they use the Divine Sorcerer’s Descent to destroy that Barrier for sure!

n“Do you want to test me one last time?” Vale asked.

n“Yes! Come at me…” Sun Sorcerer Hogan said.

nVale narrowed his eyes after hearing these words.

n“I want you to unleash your strongest Spell on me… If you can’t even shatter my Sixteen Light Wave Barrier Spell, then you have no hope of breaking the capital’s Barrier. If you fail, tell the Marquis that you’re incompetent. Tell him to postpone the war instead.” Sun Sorcerer Hogan said.

nEven though he knew that Marquis Morgan was listening, he still chose to use Vale as the messenger.

n“That’s intriguing. What would happen if you die?” Vale asked as he stepped forward.

n“Hmph! I have an Artifact that will whisk me away to safety if I’m about to die. You don’t need to concern yourself with me. If you’re confident enough to break the capital’s barrier… Show me what you’ve got!” Sun Sorcerer Hogan said as he began his chant to create the Sixteen Light Wave Barrier.

nSoon, several layers of light wave barrier formed that dazzled everyone watching. It looked like a mini sun was forming around him!

nOn the other hand, Vale was a bit uncertain about what Spell he would use to destroy this barrier.

nOf course, he intended to transform into a dragon to destroy the capital’s barrier. But with his limited Dragon Essence, he couldn’t afford to waste it right now.

nHe then scanned his current spells to see what Spell would be the most effective…

n“Hmmm…”

nAfter some deliberation, Vale decided to use various spells.

nFirst, he used his Dragon’s True Sight to see the flaw of the barrier. As he used this Spell, his eyes suddenly changed to that of a dragon…

nIt didn’t take long before he understood how the Sixteen Light Wave Barrier worked.

nIt was a spherical barrier that shielded the caster even from Spells coming from the ground.

nThe weakness was essentially the amount of energy that the Sun Sorcerer could supply to the barrier. 𝘦.𝘤𝘰𝑚

nThere was no specific element that could easily destroy it. Whether it was Dark Energy, Elemental Energy, or Aura, it made no difference.

nWith this in mind, Vale decided to use his Celestial Art, the Call of the Divine Lightning!

n“I will summon a lightning, Sorcerer… Don’t die!”

nVale said as he raised his hand and pointed it at the sky.

nHe even imbued about 10 Divinity Points to empower his Celestial Art! He also didn’t wait for the Sorcerer’s reply as thunderous sound echoed in the air.

nHe summoned the Divine Lightning, a spell that could harness the power of the heavens!

nBoom! 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮

nA bolt of lightning descended from the sky, aiming at the Sun Sorcerer Hogan. It was a dazzling and terrifying sight, as if the wrath of the gods was unleashed. It looked like a giant spear, ready to pierce through the barrier.

n‘This lightning… I knew it, he’s the Masked Devil Incarnate!’ The Sun Sorcerer, including Denise and the others immediately had the same thought!

nThere was no more hiding!

nAs the Sun Sorcerer Hogan saw the attack, he smirked with confidence.

nAt the point of impact, eight out of sixteen layers of barriers were immediately destroyed!

n“Is that all you have? A mere lightning bolt? Do you think that can break my Sixteen Light Wave Barrier? You are too naive, young man! You have no idea what my barrier can do!”

nHe raised his staff, and the layers of barriers started recovering! It became 9 layers… 10 layers… and the 11th one was already forming rapidly!

nVale was certainly impressed by that defense, but he realized from that attack that this barrier was most likely made by an Arcana!

nIt was not a Spell that the man created!

nNevertheless, Vale didn’t complain as he continued…

nA couple of Divine Lightning descended at once!

nBoom! Boom!

nThe shockwave spread and the dust rose.

nThe sound was deafening, and the light was blinding. At the same time, the ground shook, and the air was filled with the remnant of lightning energy.

nHowever, Vale remained standing on his spot, looking at the dust-filled area where the Sun Sorcerer had previously stood.

nWithout waiting for the settling dust to reveal it’s the Sorcerer’s condition, Vale spoke with a chilling calmness.

n“Rest well, Sorcerer. Tomorrow, we will be marching towards the capital.”

nWith these words, Vale turned away, retracing his steps towards the castle.
