Mythology: Ragnarok

Chapter 98 Attack on the Holy City of Light

This plague was obviously man-made. Agreed cast a quadruple curse spell on John's corpse, which included the curse of decay, the torment of illness, the spread of plague, and the parasitic tumor. These spells combined to create the terrible plague we see today. Moreover, Agreed controlled it very well. Because of the addition of the parasitic tumor, the virus bypassed civilians and directly affected the city's garrison.

The parasitic tumor needs to be nourished by battle qi or magic to grow. Ordinary people, let alone cultivate, are considered to have received a good education if they can even read. Furthermore, because Agred set a priority for this curse, if the parasitic tumor cannot be triggered, then other curses besides the plague will naturally disappear. This is why the plague killed all the city's guards with its wildfire but did not kill the city's civilians.

After the mages on Agreed's side eliminated all the garrison as instructed by the marshal, they took out the ninth-tier magic scroll 'Purification of Light' that Agreed had specially asked Emma to bring (the magic scroll and strategic plan were both packed in a brocade pouch). The ninth-tier magic instantly enveloped the entire city, and the disease in the city instantly dissipated under the purification of the magic.

But the magicians didn't stop. After casting all their light magic and purification spells to cover every corner of the city and ensure its safety, the army entered the city and completely took over all the districts.

The virus spread so rapidly that the city's priests and church didn't have time to use light magic to purify the disease. This is why Agreed knew how troublesome the virus he created was. That's why he had Emma bring a pouch with all the precautions and even used magic to repeatedly warn her. Otherwise, the tragedy that happened in this city would have quickly spread to the entire continent.

Only after making thorough preparations in advance was Agred's side able to completely eradicate the plague, which shows just how terrifying the plague was. Agred only dared to use this method once, as it could easily result in heavy losses on both sides.

Time continued to move forward, and the cities of the Church of Light were successively breached due to the lack of reinforcements and supplies. In less than a week, only their holy city remained standing before the Eastern Allied Forces, as if it were the Church of Light's last act of defiance.

At this moment, Agreed ordered all troops of the Eastern Alliance, except for the necessary garrison troops, to gather at the Holy City of Light to prepare for the final battle. He also personally rode his dragon steed to the front line to participate in this final and ultimate battle.

Within a few days, the army was assembled and besieged the city. Just when everyone thought a bloody siege was about to begin, Agred made an unexpected choice.

“I don’t want this city anymore. To avoid any accidents, just raze it to the ground with forbidden magic.” These were Agreed’s exact words.

Agreed's concerns were understandable, because no one knew what other support the Pope, as a chosen one of God, had. The Holy City of Light was also guarded by almost all the forbidden spell mages and legendary warriors of the Church of Light. Therefore, Agreed believed that there was no need to take that risk and waste the lives of his soldiers.

All the forbidden spellcasters in the legion were summoned to prepare to cast the forbidden spell 'Doomsday Judgment'. The army began to retreat while forming a defensive formation to protect the spellcasters and prevent anyone from interrupting the spell. But it was at this moment that the Church of Light made its move!

A protective barrier covering a radius of a hundred miles instantly unfolded, enveloping the allied forces outside. The magic power of the forbidden spellcasters who were still chanting was immediately drained, and the forbidden spells that were only half-prepared vanished instantly. At the same time, sixteen forbidden spell arrays appeared, and all the forbidden spellcasters of the Church of Light flew into the air and shouted: "Breathless Wind Domain!"

In an instant, sixteen terrifying wind elemental force fields appeared in Agred's army. The soldiers enveloped by the wind fields were instantly torn to shreds by the violent wind blades. In a flash, the battlefield was covered in crimson, with only screams of terror remaining.

The Breathless Wind Domain is a very special type of forbidden magic. It is known as the cleanest strategic magic because its mechanism is to make the air in a space flow rapidly, causing the interior of the space to become a vacuum, while the exterior becomes a strangling wind field composed of rapidly surging air.

Of course, this kind of magic can't kill people just by relying on air pressure difference. That little pressure difference would only make people feel their bodies start to swell, unable to breathe, chest tightness, shortness of breath, poor blood circulation, and eventually faint. To kill an enemy by relying on lack of oxygen, the magic would need to be maintained for at least five minutes, which is far too inefficient.

This magic kills by relying on the outer wind field. The raging wind blades in the wind field will tear anything that gets close to it to pieces. When the enemy is suffocating from lack of oxygen, he will lose his mind and desperately search for a way out. At that time, many people will rush into the outer wind field without regard for anything, and will eventually be shredded into dust by the wind blades formed by the gale.

However, if you stop in time and are only scratched or have old wounds and unhealed scars, then congratulations, you have unlocked the most unfortunate way to die in this magic.

Because of the pressure difference, your blood will overflow uncontrollably, and unhealed wounds and scars are likely to be torn open, causing secondary damage. You will die under the double torment of excessive blood loss and lack of oxygen. Moreover, when this spell ends, the wind field will directly press into the internal space to give all living things in the space a final blow. The mage who invented this spell designed this finishing mechanism to ensure that there are no survivors in the Breathless Wind Field.

Therefore, if you want to survive this magic, you must directly break through the wind field at the beginning of the magic and exchange injury for life. Moreover, your physical strength must be at least at the Grandmaster level to have any chance of survival, otherwise it will be in vain. The longer you drag it out in this magic, the more dangerous it becomes. Hesitating for a second is one step closer to death.

As for why this spell is considered the cleanest strategic spell, it's because it doesn't cause as much environmental damage as other spells. After the spell ends, it only leaves behind bits of flesh and a bloody breeze. This advantage made 'Breathless Wind Domain' a popular forbidden spell, a preferred weapon for killing silently and dealing with large armies.

The magic ended in less than three minutes. Agred's side lost at least 400,000 soldiers. Although Agred reacted immediately and used spatial magic to teleport the forbidden spell mages out of the forbidden spell's range, thus saving them, most of the mages were injured and lost their ability to cast spells.

Seeing this, Agreed instantly became furious, took out his wand and activated 'Multiple Heart Grasp'. Dozens of phantom hearts appeared in front of Agreed. As Agreed crushed those hearts one by one, the forbidden spellcasters above the Holy City of Light died one after another. In the end, all the forbidden spellcasters died under Agreed's magical attack, but this final battle had only just begun.
