Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 126: Black Tower Of Darkness

[Ebonwick Fortress]

Soldiers standing on the walls were thrusting the spears without even taking a proper breath.

Suddenly, they felt a breeze of wind and forgot their work as they saw a giant tornado rising from the ground as light and fragile undead skeleton bodies left the ground and got sucked into the vortex of wind, turning them into fine grinding dust.

Seeing this soldiers also started feeling the suction force of the tornado as the light bodies of the skeletons trying to climb the wall started to fly and got sucked into the vortex.

As the soldiers felt a chill down their spine and quickly started to climb down the wall from the inner side to protect themselves from the suction force of the vortex while the walls shook violently and cracks began to appear on walls which have remained intact for thousands of years without a single crack or rupture.

On reaching the ground, they felt they were not standing on the ground but on some semi liquid state solution as the entire land twisted with the twisting space caused by the intense and aggressive punches of Jai with seventy percent of his total strength.

The competition between Kai and Jai had turned into a disaster for the soldiers.

The heavy armoured soldiers also entered the fortress quickly and started to push the heavy wooden door from inside to close it.

They don't know where did such a strength come from or how illogical their actions were.

They were afraid, afraid of the twisting tornado which is ten kilometres away from them but can still feel it's great suction force but they were on the other hand were finding it hard to keep their feets on ground as they shake violently with the ground below.

The Sudden appearance of the twisting vortex of wind and earthquake in the ancient battlefield have completely shattered their willpower and the little mental strength they have left after fighting the undead constantly for seven hours.

"Mother... just what is happening here.... Have god also abandoned us..."

"We.. can.. fight undead..but..how..do we... fight...forces of nature.."

"It's..hope..less, it's over. Even if..the strongest..forces..of.. two.. e they cannot fight.. against the.. nature"

Helpless, despair and hopeless can be felt from their voices as their body trembles in front of the mighty force of nature. No soldiers were calm and some have even started to cry as the faces of their loved ones appear before their eyes.

"I only have...a little daughter...and my old mother... in my house, I can't die... here in such a way"shouted one of the soldiers with tears appearing in the corner of his eyes.

Commander Darwin felt helplessness and despair in the eyes of his men's.

He is seventy-five years old and had a son with his wife waiting for him in the far away village of Chaos Empire.

"Son, looks like I will not be able to come back this time nor see the newborn granddaughter"thought Darwin as he tried to calm himself down as a commander he can't lose control of his emotions before his subordinates. Specifically when they are facing such a critical situation.

Just as he was about to speak he felt that the ground had stopped shaking and the howling winds had stopped turning into a calm cold breeze. As he dragged his body and step by step he moved forward towards the stairs and stood at the top of the wall witnessing something, which he will never forget for the rest of his life and the legendary being who can cause such a natural disaster.

The sea of undead skeletons was nowhere to be seen, instead he saw a flat plane land with no variation on the surface of the land. It was smooth as the surface of the glass, the dark clouds which he had seen for the last ten years near the Ebonwick Fortress which increases every year by some meters had been torn apart as the sunlight touched the ground which had been abandoned for a long time and the temperature rose little by little. Washing his body in a warm bath of sunlight, filling his body with strength and cleansing his mind of all negative emotions and thoughts.

Soldiers also raise their trembling body one by one as they witness the miraculous scene before their eyes as the sunlight falls on their body.

"It's...a.. miracle..we have..been saved. God..did..not.. abandoned..us"

As everyone only started to cheer and hug their fellow mates.

While on the other hand Commander Darwin witnessed something beyond his understanding.

The twister of wind started to clear out as he looked at the pitch black tower rising from the ground reaching tens of kilometres above the ground emitting violent colour from his surface, making it look like it's burning in violent flames from the wall of Ebonwick Fortress.

[On top of the black tower]

Kai was looking at Jai with a bright smile on his face.

"I am the winner of this competition"

Hearing that Jai helpless nodded his head.

He never would have thought that Kai will create a vortex of twisted magic power to affect the surrounding air to create a tornado which will suck everything within its radius and beyond and grind them into tiny dust particles and later compress them to form a large tower out of them.

"But still why is this tower black instead of white despite it being made up of white bones of undead skeletons?"asked Jai with doubtful expression.

Kai replied with a cheerful smile"That's because the undead skeletons of ancient battlefields are made up of dark elemental essence and after getting torned apart by my magic power and getting refined into their purest form. I compressed them together with the dust particles and soil from the nearby area to form this tower"

"I suppose by doing this I have stripped about a seventh percent of the dark elemental essence from the outer region of the ancient battlefield. Where it is more scattered and will definitely reduce the strength of the ancient battlefield, because this dark elemental essence cannot be absorbed by it due to its pure nature. It was not intentional but just occurred. So we have to enter the ancient battlefield before it starts to weaken up,"said Kai with a bitter expression.

"I have just hit my own foot with a hammer due to my own actions. If I don't enter the core region of the ancient battlefield before midnight. The ancient battlefield core will start to weaken up, not only will I lose the opportunity to destroy the god origin but will lose the heroic Spirit Command staff also"thought Kai and took a long breath.

"Let's go back to Ebonwick Fortress and meet with others. I believe they would have reached the fortress by now. Later after informing them and eating the lunch, we will enter the inner regions of ancient battlefield to reach the core region"

"But what about this tower"asked Jai.

"Don't worry it will automatically disappear within a week, returning all the dark elemental essence back to the atmosphere"

Hearing that Jai nodded as he held the right hand Kai and both of them started flying towards the fortress.

Commander Darwin also notices that something is flying towards the fortress at a very high speed.

"Just what is that thing?"

On the other hand, Joseph and Louie with Mefisto have arrived at the southern gate of the fortress as they charge towards the main front gates with their troops.

On their way, they have already sensed the terrifying amount of magic power from the direction of the ancient battlefield and have reached the fortress with full speed.

According to professor Mefisto, that magic power must have been generated from collection magic power of hundreds of thousands of Undeads of rank four and above.

But as they arrived at the southern gate it disappeared into thin air and the dark gloomy skies of Ebonwick Fortress turned into a sunny sky as sunlight fell on their body.

On reaching the front gates of the fortress they witness hundreds of soldiers gathered around Kai with smiling faces, some even marks of tears on their faces hugging Kai and Jai as they thank them, somewhere even kneeling before them.

Leaving all troops as well as Joseph, Louie and Mefisto dumbfounded.

Louie's eyes suddenly fell on the bulky body of Darwin who was smiling as he looked at Kai and Jai with awe in his eyes and got off his house and walked towards Darwin as he called out to him.

Hearing that Darwin turned around and saw Louie as he gave a military salute to Louie.

Darwin with just one look knew about the identity of the person standing before him.

After all he is famous among all the soldiers and also his idol.

"You must be Commander Darwin right, the person in charge of Ebonwick fortress"asked Louie.

"Yes Sir, I am Darwin Leone. Commander and incharge of Ebonwick Fortress"

Hearing that Louie nodded"Look like I found the right person"

"Commander Darwin, what had happened? Just half an hour ago, we received a message that the fortress is under attack by the undead and can fall at any moment"asked Louie with a curious expression as he waited for Darwin to reply.

"Sir Louie just arrived a little late, those two guys have already taken care of all the undead skeleton"said Darwin as he pointed at Kai and Jai.

"It's hard to believe even for me but the thing I witnessed today can only be called a miracle"as a thin smile appeared on his face.

Hearing that Louie doubtfully looked at Kai and Jai.

Even though he knows that Kai is a peak magic champion while Jai cultivation is not below Kai. It's still hard to believe that within ten minutes they have destroyed all undeads.

Thinking so Louie again looked at Darwin

"Can you tell me in details"

Darwin nodded and was about to speak as the entire fortress roared with the sounds coming from their stomach.

Darwin was also embarrassed as he asked Louie"Sir, can you please give us some time. All the soldiers have not even eaten their breakfast or drink water for the last seven hours and we're constantly fighting. I will report within a hour after taking care of my duty as incharge of fortress"

Louie nodded.

Seeing Darwin called out to call the soldiers to line up and follow him.

Leaving Kai and Jia to take in some fresh air.

Louie, Mefisto and Joseph on the other hand looked at them, as they were seeing some monsters in human skin.
