After Autumn and his companions left the city someone was looking at his back with deep hatred and fear. But it was not one person, it was 6 people who were looking at him the same hatred and fear in their eyes.
They were currently inside a pocket space that is 10 cubic meters wide. Clad in black hooded robes, fist clenched tightly, bodies trembling with anger, and auras fluctuating in a wild manner.
The pocket space was about to be broken down with their auras fluctuating wildly like this, and so the no. 1 said with a deep voice that could barely hide the anger it felt.
"Restrain and control your auras as you will expose our location, making our plan harder to initiate and complete."
One by one they started to restrain their auras and some of them took deep breathes just to barely restrain their auras.
Then no.1 spoke again with a deep tone again.
"We will use this time to attack the city full power as that monster is going outside, I estimate that he won't be coming in an hour or so. So let's use this time to fully complete our plan."
They nodded one by one and no. 1 then waved his hand.
180 magic circles appeared in the sky, the other black hooded members also followed and waved their hands. Thus another 900 magic circle appeared, then countless tier 5 and tier 6 spells bombarded the whole city with different spells like fireball, lightning strikes, ice spikes, meteors, etc.
Countless different spells we're constantly being summoned by these 1080 magic circles. This should not be possible as a mage cannot summon that many magic circles normally.
Well, they can't but there is one way to do this and that is by creating an enchantment called "Magic Enhancement" and "Spell Limiter".
Magic Enhancement can be understood as strengthening your magic spells and the like.
Spell Limiter can also be understood as cutting the limiting part of your spells to increase the amount you can use.
These enchantments are permanent and can be upgraded with different materials that suit your spells.
These enchantments can only be made by mages themselves and have to imprint their bodies with different runes to make an enchantment. Think of it as a tattoo.
If you take off their hood you will see a star tune on their foreheads surrounded by different elements that suit their needs. For example, no.1 has a star rune that is surrounded by the element of fire and earth elements.
So that's how the enchantment works but it can also be understood as enchanting yourself to make your body as a weapon rather than enchanting your weapons.
Weapons can degrade through time and battle but the body, perhaps not as tough as a weapon, and may not be able to take a hit from some strong beast. But the advantage of a body is that it can always be activated at will, not needing to draw your weapon.
In a life and death battle, 0.0002 seconds can be considered as a precious opportunity to kill your enemy in a single strike.
This is why enchantments are popular among mages and the giant race, as they mostly used their bodies to imprint runes.
The reason mages imprint runes to their bodies is that their bodies are weak and when a cultivator closed in on them they are considered dead as they won't have enough time to cast a spell unless if the mage is Autumn who can instantly cast his spells.
So mages imprint their bodies with different enchantments that strengthen their bodies, mana, or the number of spells they can cast.
The giant race on the other hand use enchantments to make their body be able to move fast as that's their only weakness. They have strong and tough bodies that make the strongest dragon be jealous of them, the power that can rival the gods when they grow strong enough.
But their speed is slow as a snail, their attacks can't even hit a normal cultivator at the rank of War King as their speed is too slow.
So they use speed enchantments like " Fleeting Wind" or "Stormy Feet" that can increase their speed and increase their attack speed.
So enough of the enchantment talk let's go see the different spells bombarding the city...
The Messengers of God just finished killing all the beast that attacked the south and north city sides.
But they were then startled by the sudden appearance of the huge number of magic circles and was even more shock as the spells that came out were tier 5 and tier 6 spells that are powerful enough to raze down a small city to ashes but 1080 of them is able to destroy half of the kingdom.
So they hurriedly used a four chant anti-spell that dispels all magic or spells including theirs but it doesn't restrict their elements only magic and spells.
Soon a 100-meter magic circle appeared behind them and hundreds upon hundreds of anti-magic spell chains flew to the different magic circles in the sky.
Countless glass breaking sound sounded through the whole kingdom as the anti-magic chains broke them one by one.
It also broke down the space pocket that they made as it was also considered a magic spell.
6 figures then came out of the space pocket and were currently floating above the center of the kingdom.
The Messengers of God were stunned by the sudden appearance of these 6 enemies as they weren't able to detect them.
Not by sounds, senses, or magic detecting spells.
Even as they were looking at them they weren't able to perceive their presence it's like they are separated by different dimensions or they are in an illusionary state.
But they pick the former possibility as this was a more feasible explanation at the moment.
Then they heard the figure speak in a distorted but clear voice.
"Hello, Messengers of God or should I say the scrap pickers." The figure in front said with a tone of mockery and disdain.
As soon as they heard him say that, their auras erupted wildly as different elements were constantly swirling around them forming a small hurricane above their heads.
The hurricanes were made of different elements like fire, wood, wind, lightning, water, etc. This hurricane of different elements then merged together to form a massive titan with a height of 220 meters with no facial features.
It then roared a silent roar and attacked the figures in the sky. They only looked at this titan with a look of disregard not even bothering to look at it.
One of the black-hooded figures even said with a tone of no interest and boredom.
"Is this really what they could dish out, it's too weak of an attack when they are carrying the title of Messengers of God."
"Agreed this is weak as the guardians of this city barely worth mentioning at all." One of them agreed and even compared it.
The figure in front then slightly stretched his finger and pointed towards the titan.
Whoosshh!
A beam of yellow light then flashed out and the elemental titan then broke apart like crumbling dirt or like broken clay pots.
"Is that all you got, how disappointing." Said the figure in a tone of disdain.
This time the Messenger of Gods were really angry and took out their weapons from a sword, saber, lance, and gauntlets.
They attacked them head-on with their weapons coated with different elements.
The figure then responded with a flick of his finger and a massive sword wave then collided with their attacks.
BAAAAAMMMMM!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
But it didn't stop the momentum of their attacks and continued on.
Then they arrived in front of the figure and attacked him simultaneously from different angles, even the figure was caught off guard and...
BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
A massive explosion sounded from the attack as 6 figures flew out almost at the same time.
They then followed up with elemental wave attacks and bombarded them rapidly.
BOOOOMMMM!!!
The battlefield was silent, the four of them were just floating in the air waiting for their enemy to come. (it's a stupid move for sure not gonna lie but I guess that's how this world works I guess.)
Then a loud rumble sounded and 6 streams of black light then soared through the air. Their robe intact without any damage, not even a speck of dust is seen on the robe.
Then the six of them then spoke together and the sound of distorted, glitch-like, and deep but clear voice sounded like an ancient being from the deeps of the abyss.
"We offer our strength, lives, tributes, faith, belief, and soul to you our God Gecerciz Yutmak the guardian of the abyss. Hear our call and bring sorrow, madness, fear, and despair to this world."
A dark magic circle with hexagram patterns appeared behind them with a size of 300 meters.
The Messengers of God were shocked as they felt intense danger and the looming of death coming closer with each passing second.
They hurriedly try to stop them by attacking with their strongest attacks but it was useless as a giant hand covered in fish like scales came out of the magic circle.
The giant hand just tanked the attacks but not a single scratch was made, it was rendered useless. For the third time in their life did they feel raw fear that emanates from their very being.
They felt despair, hopelessness, sorrow, and lastly, unfiltered fear that took over their bodies.
The giant hand then flicked its finger and a massive wind pressure then formed and attacked them.
The wind pressure itself is sharp as an Amethyst grade weapon and the speed is 1,000 meters per second.
Shluk! Sshhluck! Thwump! Klshuk!
Their heads separated from their, spurts of blood gushing everywhere, and the expression of fear permanently solidified on their faces.
A single flick killed the guardians of the Divine City, a single flick crushed the hopes of many cultivators, and a single flick commenced the official plane war.
The sky immediately darkened with deafening thunder followed it, the sun was replaced by a blood moon that has a hexagram symbol on it.
And so followed the roars of the different creatures, the howls of the fallen, and the scent of blood lingering in the air.
Now is the start of the war...
Moving on to Autumn and his companions who were currently chatting and seriously thinking about what to eat for lunch and dinner.
They didn't know that a war has started but even if they knew they wouldn't give a single damn unless it involves them in any way like killing them, kidnapping them, etc.
But if someone were to do that... well let's just say they possess the biggest balls there is known to mankind, figuratively that is.
Currently, they are halfway to reaching their destination and Autumn felt a familiar energy and aura from the abyss.
But this one is more tamed and docile while the abyss from the mental world is chaotic, wild, and just full-on killing or plundering all-day and all night long.
It was too late to go back now to check since they were already close to reaching their destination. Maybe around 2 hours or so will be enough for them to collect all the different treasures that the black hooded robe ants collected in their lifetime.
Autumn was looking forward to the different books that he was about to collect. In the memories Flos swallowed, there was a book that contained different information about other planes, worlds, and dimensions.
He was interested in getting that book as this probably will help him gauge the strength of this plane.
....
Well finished writing this chapter.
Well to give my thoughts and ideas to you guys, the war is gonna be short like really short. But the battle is gonna be good though as I have an idea how to write it now.
After collecting the book that contained different information about different planes, worlds, and dimension there is gonna be a lot of battles and wars that are gonna happen and introduced.
And the conflict is about... wait never mind I don't want to spoil the rest of the chapter so Nah.
So see you next chapter fellow nerds imma eat my dinner bye.
-Bloody Autumn
