Chapter 1259: Light’s Destruction!
The holy light shone, and all the elves who were charging toward the peak were blinded momentarily.
At the same time, Irina took a step forward and disappeared from the mountain’s peak. A golden light flashed in front of Helena, and a magic caster’s staff struck down toward her.
“Hmph.” Helena snorted coldly as a patch of starry sky appeared above her head and blocked the magic caster’s staff.
Boom!
A muffled thump erupted as the magic caster’s staff slammed into the starry sky. The dark starry sky trembled and the stars flickered, but they continued to hold.
Irina appeared. Her hands were holding the magic caster’s staff, and she was maintaining her posture of slamming downward.
Not many people knew that the pride of the Wind Forest was this world’s only light-based great magic caster. At the same time, she was also a powerful melee magic caster.
Too bad, Helena was one of the few who knew. Hence, she wasn’t flustered by Irina, who suddenly switched to melee. Her calm demeanor showed that she had expected it.
The stand-off continued, but the starry sky that was hovering above her like a shield suddenly spread out like water and engulfed Irina instantaneously.
Starry Sky Domain.
Helena’s most powerful domain, which was also the domain that allowed her to achieve the most gain.
The face-off of 10th-tier great magic casters. Whoever could get the other party into her domain basically placed herself in an unassailable position.
“Helena’s Starry Sky Domain. It indeed wasn’t that simple.” Borg, who wasn’t affected by the holy light earlier on, was looking at the area engulfed by the black starry sky. Even he couldn’t get a glimpse of what was happening inside.
However, that vast and mysterious Starry Sky Domain and the powerful magic waves that he couldn’t ignore made him wary.
After Irina was destroyed, Helena and him would have an inevitable battle.
It was she who let him ascend to his current position, but she wouldn’t allow him to go any higher than this.
Being the great general of the Wind Forest no longer satisfied him. He wanted to be the king of the Wind Forest and the ruler of Norland Continent.
The power that came from the alternate world began to stir inside his body again. His bargain with the devil had only just started. Although he had encountered some problems initially, they had reestablished their connection. However, he had to pay a greater price this time as he would need to sacrifice some of his people.
He didn’t have much time left. Apart from Irina, he also had to get rid of Helena as soon as possible so he could gain control of the Wind Forest.
A wormlike black line suddenly appeared in between his eyebrows before disappearing in the blink of an eye. His red irises slowly became normal again.
The elves that were blinded by the holy light’s illumination gradually regained their vision, but magic began to rain down on them from the top of the mountain like arrows.
The elves who weren’t prepared for this went into this attack head-on, and hundreds of them fell immediately. Many elves retreated in a haste, and their formations were in a mess.
Meanwhile, the two commanders-in-charge were in that Starry Sky Domain now, and nobody had any idea what was happening in there.
However, this domain was Helena’s, and she was deemed to be second only to the queen. She’d once led the elf species to victory in the racial wars together with the queen, and expelled the demons who invaded the Wind Forest. Now, she had trapped Irina in her Starry Sky Domain, so there was almost no doubt who would be the winner.
If Irina was defeated, the Night Elves would be in a disarray. They didn’t even have a 9th-tier magic caster. It was only a matter of time before they were vanquished.
Your Highness. Sally, who was standing close to the Starry Sky Domain, clenched her fists as she gazed at that black Starry Sky. She could no longer participate or interfere with a battle of this scale. Being trapped in her opponent’s domain had already decided the outcome of this battle.
“Princess!” Firis exclaimed at a cave’s entrance. She wanted to dash out subconsciously, but Shirley grabbed her wrist.
“You can’t help even if you go there. You will even be a burden to the princess.” Shirley shook her head as she stared at the Starry Sky magic. She had a hint of anticipation while being very nervous at the same time.
The princess was the most beautiful and clever elf that she had ever seen.
She didn’t believe she would let herself be caught in such an irrevocable state so easily.
Just as all the elves were expecting Helena to capture Irina and declare the end of the Night Elves’ rebellion, a beam of blinding gold light hacked open a pathway on the pitch-black starry sky like a razor-sharp longsword.
Irina floated out of the hacked-open gap in her white dress. A 100-meter-long lightbeam gushed out from the top of the magic caster’s staff and swept across the army of elves.
The armor and metal weapons of the elven soldiers dissolved instantaneously. Close to 1,000 elite soldiers were disarmed in the blink of an eye.
“The Princess has broken out of the high priestess’s Starry Sky Domain!”
The Night Elves were ecstatic and relieved. They didn’t expect the princess to be so powerful that she wasn’t even afraid of the Starry Sky Domain.
She actually broke out of it!
Borg was also taken aback. He could vaguely sense Irina had become stronger than she was when she battled with him.
His eyes twitched when his gaze landed on Irina’s lightbeam and he felt frustrated.
He felt an extremely strong hate for this holy light. He wanted to hide from it, yet wanted to destroy it completely at the same time.
Seems like this light-type magic is a threat to me. It’s fortunate that there is only one light-type great magic caster, and she is going to die here today. Borg’s eyes narrowed slightly as he grabbed the longsword at his waist. If necessary, he didn’t mind attacking Irina together with Helena as long as it would ensure her death.
“This is too bad. I wish you had been more obedient. There is no one more suitable than you to protect the Wind Forest.” Helena looked with a hint of pity at Irina who flew out, but it soon turned into coldness.
Since she was already beyond control, she had to be destroyed completely.
The Starry Sky began to expand rapidly, and engulfed everything within a 1000 meters’ radius. The sunlight disappeared, and only the dark sky and sparkling stars remained.
And right at this moment, Irina raised up the magic caster’s staff like the only torch in the dark night that kept on burning stubbornly.
“Starfall,” Helena said calmly while looking at Irina.
The stars that were shining in the sky suddenly trembled violently, and then began to fall, dragging dozens of long red tails behind them. They were getting bigger right in front of those elves’ eyes and crashed toward the peak and Irina.
Irina looked up with a frown at the huge meteor that was 10-odd meters across. She raised her staff, and chanted, “God of Light, please bestow upon me the power to destroy. Light’s Destruction!”
A beam of light shot toward the sky in a parabola and stuck the meteor. It exploded in mid-air, shattered into uncountable rocks, and rained down.
