Chapter 194: Chapter 96: The Battle of Jingmen Village_2

Giant spiders, each over three meters long, were the first to appear in everyone’s field of view.

These spiders were entirely grey-black, with only their eyes being red. Despite the thorny sides of the mountain, they leapt as if flying, completely ignoring the influence of the terrain, rapidly advancing from both sides and the ground below.

Zisang Liuying’s expression darkened the moment she saw these creatures referred to as underground demon spiders by the general. The advantage of the terrain was undoubtedly significantly weakened with the appearance of these unique wraith entities.

Almost everyone turned their eyes to her, seemingly asking - what now?

"We can’t let the wraith entities get through from either side of the cliffs. Mages, prepare your magic. Wind specialty mages, attack both sides and avoid directly hitting them; knock them down for me. Fire specialty mages, get ready to attack straight ahead. I want to turn them into roasted spiders," Zisang Liuying said fiercely.

Long Dangdang watched with cold eyes, noting some of Zisang Liuying’s strengths. This Elements Saintess was decisive and had a considerable charismatic charm. When she was commanding, she induced a sense of conviction in people naturally. She did not focus on the details, her orders were outcome-driven. She didn’t tell people how to do things, but what the end result should look like.

In comparison, Ling Menglu had a completely different style. Ling Menglu was gentle and paid more attention to detail. She focused on instructing people how to do things and guide them towards achieving the result she wanted. Both of their styles were distinct, but there was no denying that both were outstanding talents in the younger generation of Spirit Furnace Academy.

The underground demon spiders were getting closer. Zisang Liuying started to wave her magic staff in front of her.

She did not stand behind the team like the other mages, but instead at the front, displaying her enormous confidence.

Long Dangdang watched her attentively. As a fellow mage, he wanted to see how this genius mage known as Elements Saintess would cast her magic.

The magic staff in Zisang Liuying’s hand appeared plain, not showcasing any flare. The gemstone at the top of the staff was transparent, which seemed pretty ordinary.

However, as she started to wave her magic staff, the transparent gemstone began to change color. A rich green light circulated within the gem, emitting a soft glow. Along with her movements, the gemstone depicted beautiful arcs in the air, sketching a peculiar pattern.

Magic array formation! Everyone recognized it as a magic array formation. However, generally forming an array design requires a physical foundation.

Like previously, when Ling Menglu set up the magic array formation, she directly positioned it on the ground. However, Zisang Liuying drew her magic array formation in the void. The green light was far from fleeting; instead, it clearly displayed the pattern of the magic array in the air. This feat alone fully showcased her incredible mastery over the elements.

Long Dangdang knew he himself could not achieve this. Subconsciously, he tried to emulate Zisang Liuying’s method in his mind, only to find that his spiritual power was insufficient to maintain the stability of the magic patterns.

In just six seconds, a green array was formed in front of Zisang Liuying. The next moment, she lifted her magic staff. Strangely, the green array she drew moved along with her staff, as if stuck to the tip of it.

The next moment, a low rumbling sound resonated. A series of green lights erupted from the green array formation attached to the top of her staff.

The green light moved at an extreme speed, striking the underground demon spiders on either side of the valley with perfect accuracy in a flurry of propulsion.

With a series of "thud, thud" sounds, those demon spiders were knocked off by the green light, falling into the valley.

Air cannons! Can air cannon spells also be unleashed through an array formation?

The air cannon was not an advanced spell, but rather a low-level one. This 2nd Rank magic generally fired as a single shot, where compressed air is released to create a powerful explosive force to attack mid-range enemies.

Long Dangdang could instantly cast this magic, without even the need to recite a spell. However, he could only instantly cast once, and to fire again, he needed to recharge his spiritual power. There had to be at least one second interval between two air cannons.

But the air cannon by Zisang Liuying was simply terrifying. There was no pause at all. Blue light beams continuously erupted. At least five beams were fired every second, and what was even more terrifying was the accuracy - almost every shot hit its mark. The rapidly crawling underground demon spiders had no chance to get close, being immediately blown away.

The power of the air cannon was not great, and the underground demon spiders had heavy shells, so they were not directly killed by it. But it didn’t matter. Falling from the sky, their weight multiplied by the height of their fall, and they landed heavily on the other spiders on the ground. For a moment, Zisang Liuying managed to disrupt the enemy’s formation on her own.

"Fire!" Zisang Liuying shouted.

The next moment, bundles of Exploding Fireballs flew out from behind her, shooting straight into the valley.

The width of Thorns Valley was only about thirty meters. The dense number of underground demon spiders falling from the cliffs and crawling up left no room for them to dodge.

With successive loud rumbles, the valley was instantly lit red by fire. Large numbers of the underground demon spiders were devoured by the flames.

At this moment, Zisang Liuying waved her left hand, and another magic staff appeared in her palm, looking identical to the one in her right hand. As she continued to launch air cannons with her right hand, knocking the underground demon spiders off the cliff, she began to draw another array formation with the staff in her left hand.

She was multitasking!

Something Long Dangdang is only beginning to grasp. However, the way Zisang Liuying implemented this showed absolute fluency without any hindrance, clearly much better than his command.

Soon, another array formation was completed in the void, and the next instant, a strong whirlwind blasted out from it.

The direction of the whirlwind was the interior of the valley. The saying goes, "The wind aids the fire." At this point, the detonating Exploding Fireballs are causing fires in the valley, and with this gust of wind, it rapidly spread inward enshrouding more wraith entities.

At this time, Zisang Liuying, taking advantage of the terrain, fully demonstrated the defensive advantage of Jingmen Village.

Even knights, warriors, assassins, and summoners, seemed pointless in this situation. Only the priests in the back continuously cast supporting magic on the mages, maintaining their spiritual power.

As Long Dangdang was closely observing Zisang Liuying’s casting process, he gradually understood why Zisang Liuying had been drawing array formations in the void. The main purpose was to conserve her spiritual power and to enhance control. With the help of the array formation, her magic not only displayed more potent effects but also consumed less power. She is careful in conserving her spiritual power, only utilizing two pieces of low-level magic yet demonstrating excellent results. At this moment, she led all the mages in response to her magic, completely blocking the wraith legion’s advance.

Ling Menglu had not retreated to the back either. She remained by Zisang Liuying’s side, with Divine Blessing and Light’s Benediction already cast on Zisang Liuying. A faint smile was always on her face as her gaze was directed towards the direction of the valley.

An hour had passed since they set out for Jingmen Village and began defending it. There were still four hours left to complete the mission.

Neither Zisang Liuying nor Ling Menglu became lax because of the relaxed resistance they were providing. Everyone had learned from their previous mistakes, and for this final assessment task, who knew if it would be harder to deal with compared to their previous foes?

Just then, a scream suddenly sounded from the far end of the valley.
