A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 246 The Fall of the Upper City

"You will all die!"

"Why, why are you standing against us!"

The furious roar of the gray beast echoed in everyone's ears.

"Because we are human!"

Then, seemingly tireless, several Heavenly Kingdom messengers armed with Heavenly Kingdom weapons slaughtered the gray beast.

But they couldn't hold out for long.

Perhaps they can kill one, ten, or even a hundred.

However, their physical strength is not inexhaustible.

The gray beasts are endless, and the cause of this situation is none other than themselves.

They physically and biologically separated the upper and lower cities, then disregarded the lives of the people in the lower city, leaving them to fend for themselves, and even sucked their blood.

Justice cannot be killed.

One was killed, but another remains.

"Captain! I'm not going to make it, they're everywhere!"

"Then open fire everywhere!"

"Bang bang bang!"

The Heavenly Kingdom's weapons transformed into twin pistols, unleashing a furious barrage of firepower upon the gray beast.

But everyone makes mistakes.

puff.

A messenger from heaven was pierced in the calf by a bone spike from a gray beast.

The swarming gray beasts around him tore him apart without mercy.

Upon seeing their teammate killed, someone couldn't help but ask.

Why are you doing this?

"Aren't they human beings too?"

"Now that you've regained your senses, why did you kill?"

Immediately someone responded to him.

"Why? Because you killed my son!"

"He just wanted to go to the upper town to take a look, and what happened? You killed him, claiming his blood stained the land!"

"Now, water this land with your own blood!"

They were plunged into another fierce battle, and with the death of the first man, the squad's casualties gradually became uncontrollable.

The defenses have collapsed.

"Weak mortals are immersed in trivial desires all day long."

Countless feathers scattered, and an angel descended.

He was handsome and had six wings on his back.

The feather landed on the gray beast, making a sizzling, burning sound.

When it fell upon those stubborn upper-class residents, it became a cure for their suffering.

His strength gradually returned, and his wounds gradually healed.

"It's Lord Caleb!"

"Almighty Lord..."

Jiang Shuzhou watched all of this from a distance.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that there really was an angel here, and even a high-ranking one.

Angels are divided into several ranks, usually distinguished by the number of wings on their backs.

One pair of wings is low-level, five pairs of wings is legendary, and six pairs of twelve wings is the Hand of God, possessing the power of a demigod.

Judging from the wings on his back, this Caleb should be a high-level being, but unfortunately, this world cannot accommodate high-level beings.

Therefore, he was suppressed to the intermediate level, or at least just entered the intermediate level.

This is also why mages are rarely willing to forcibly break into the world. To forcibly conquer the world requires legendary-level strength, directly tearing open the dimensional barrier, which is equivalent to wrestling with the will of the plane.

Winning is fine, but losing will hurt you.

Either you have to lower your power level like this angel to pass.

However, a normal mage would never do such a thing; even if the world were to perish, they would not allow themselves to take such a risk.

"Navis, look, it's an angel!"

Jess looked shocked.

"I know, I'm not blind, I'm just an angel."

"It's just that this angel seems to be shedding quite a bit."

"Look at all these feathers, their wings are probably going to be bald."

"What do we do next?"

"Shall we regroup and send even more men to wipe him out?"

"Jace asked."

"No need, reinforcements are already on their way."

"Let's go, let's go and meet him."

Now that the enemy is clear, Jiang Shuzhou has no intention of hiding anymore. The gap between mid-level and low-level is too great, and it will be difficult for these people to kill each other without an organization.

Both Jiang Shuzhou and Jess are quite strong now, with Jiang Shuzhou even reaching the mid-stage Great Perfection.

Theoretically speaking, if this world's energy level weren't so low, he would have advanced long ago.

"Those who are filthy and presumptuously attempt to overstep their bounds shall atone with their deaths."

Caleb produced a giant sword and slashed it straight down.

With a deafening roar, countless gray beasts vanished into thin air.

However, this did not deter anyone in the slightest.

They had nothing left, and if they slunk back, they would only starve to death.

It would be better to die in battle.

"Greyblood Warriors, there are no cowards!"

Immediately afterwards, a large number of gray beasts launched a frenzied attack on Caleb, showing no regard for their own lives.

Along with the gray tide, Jiang Shuzhou also launched an attack on Caleb.

"You bastards, you dare to resist!"

However, despite saying that, the angel did not use the previous methods again.

It's obvious that what they just did wasn't some kind of powerful move.

They're probably trying to scare these people away.

Unfortunately, they were not afraid of death.

"Birdman, what's wrong? Not using the same trick as before?"

Jiang Shuzhou, in an attempt to boost morale, naturally had to resort to sarcasm.

"He was just bluffing. He can only use that once. Let's all attack together and kill him!"

As they were talking, reinforcements arrived from afar.

Large numbers of gray beasts surged in from all directions.

Now even Caleb is in a tough fight.

"I'll let you off this time, but you won't be so lucky next time!"

An angel's harsh words are like flapping its wings and running away.

"Trying to escape? Come back here!"

Jiang Shuzhou's tentacles transformed into javelins, piercing straight towards the angel.

"boom!"

Jess, wielding a modified energy cannon, showed no mercy, directly blasting the angel's wings.

puff.

Although the angel Caleb had dodged most of the stabs, he was still hit in one of his wings.

"Get down!"

The tentacles that pierced the wings deformed, becoming like harpoons, and violently pulled the angel downwards.

Caleb steeled his resolve and severed the angel's wings with a single sword stroke.

"You foolish natives, just you wait! You can't live under the protection of these bastards forever. Just wait, I'll kill you all sooner or later!"

They then made their escape and disappeared into the air.

Jiang Shuzhou was dumbfounded.

"Aren't angels supposed to be proud by nature? How come this thing is different? Shouldn't he be back to fight us to the death?"

"How should I know? With so many upright and righteous angels, how could such a cowardly creature emerge?"

After thinking it over, Jiang Shuzhou felt that this angel was probably not an angel of a righteous god. After all, if it were an angel of a god of justice or a god of protection, the situation here probably wouldn't be this bad.

And this angel will definitely choose to fight to the death.

At this, everyone present seemed to have their spines removed, and they all surrendered.

Victory is within reach.

Not only was Jiang Shuzhou dumbfounded, but the nobles inside the council were also dumbfounded.

"Now, that's the only one we can use."

"But if that's the case... this world might..."

"Remember what I said? A lose-lose situation is better than a win-lose one. If we're not doing well, they shouldn't be either!"

Then, with everyone's tacit approval, they pressed the button—the button that the demon had created to summon its kind.

Boom! Another loud bang followed.

A beam of light illuminated the spire at the top of the conference hall.
