Siege on Mary Geoise

The Holy Land Mary Geoise.

This city, dominated by European-style buildings such as spires and domes, exudes a prosperous aura due to the gathering of treasures from all over the world.

However, it is more accurate to describe it as a city of indifference and rigidity rather than prosperity, as it is filled with an air of coldness and stiffness, earning it the nickname of the "Magic Capital".

Contrary to popular belief, the streets are not filled with world nobles, the celestial dragons, wearing luxurious attire. Instead, occasional celestial dragons with slaves can be seen on the streets, while more common sights include members of the CP organization in uniforms and the celestial dragons' guards.

Most celestial dragons indulge in luxurious lives within their palaces.

Even among the slaves, there is a hierarchy. Some slaves, due to their ability to please the celestial dragons or because they have lived in Mary Geoise for a long time, have become mentally akin to celestial dragons. Even among ordinary slaves, their demeanor exudes a superiority, as if when facing other slaves, they are no longer slaves but rather celestial dragons.

"You lowly people should consider it an honor to enter Mary Geoise. Be grateful to the celestial dragons for their mercy! Without the benevolence of the celestial dragons, you would never have the privilege to set foot in this holy land!"

As a well-dressed celestial dragon slave lectured a newly acquired slave while heading towards the celestial dragons' mansion, a shadow suddenly cast over the street.

The sudden shadow, rapidly enlarging, caught the attention of the people, who instinctively looked up to witness an unforgettable scene.

On this day, the world would be shaken.

The sun was falling from the sky!

The oppressive downward trend of the falling sun cast an increasingly large shadow over the ground. Due to the speed of the descent, visible shockwaves formed at the bottom and edges of the "sun", creating visible rising air currents.

The scorching heat emitted by the "sun" continuously roasted the ground, and the people on the streets and even in the palaces were dumbfounded, as if trapped in a dream.

Although the "sun" was still thousands of meters away from the ground, its oppressive heat gave people a suffocating feeling of breathlessness.

"Sun?! Why... why would the sun fall from the sky?!"

"It's not the sun, the sun is still up there."

"But no matter what it is, run!!!"

Although they knew that this sun was not the same as the one that always hung in the sky, its scorching heat and oppressive aura were undeniable.

In just a few seconds, those who reacted scattered in panic.

While the descending "sun" caused turmoil and panic, Nicholas and Brook were floating in the sky above, watching the scene unfold.

Nicholas had a pair of lightning wings extending from his back, assisting him in hovering behind the "sun".

Beside him, Brook, using moonwalk, seemed to be more of a decoration with his bones floating in the air, supported by the power of his soul.

The two hovered in the sky, looking down at the small sun descending towards Mary Geoise.

This was almost Vista's full-powered attack, the "Blood Sun of Revenge", infused with his most sincere beliefs.

Although it was a small sun, its coverage area almost exceeded that of a small town. The destruction caused by its impact was inevitable.

"Too much commotion..."

Nicholas crossed his arms and looked down at the powerful auras emanating from all directions, fully aware that the celestial dragons and the World Government's strong defenders stationed in Mary Geoise would detect the situation immediately. It was only natural considering that this was the stronghold of the celestial dragons and the World Government.

"Too bad there won't be many celestial dragons killed."

Despite the terrifying power of this attack, Nicholas couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. It seemed like he had fulfilled his initial promise to Vista.

Seeing the descending "sun" causing chaos and destruction, many people's faces turned pale. At the same time, they watched as the "sun" was split in half by a straight slash that seemed to cut through butter.

The massive "sun" was split in two, with a smooth cut that even seemed to freeze the flames for a short time.

"Who is it!? Who dares to launch an attack on Mary Geoise?!"

Clang!

Amidst the helpless situation, a straight slash, as swift as lightning, flew from a distance and cut through the "sun" in mid-air.

Like dragging a hot blade through butter.

Immediately,

The massive "sun" was split in half, with an incredibly smooth cut at the point of separation, freezing the flames for a moment.

"Hmm?"

As the defenders and CP members struggled with their dilemma, they all looked in shock at the "sun" being split in two.

Before they could shift their gaze to the person who had acted, a voice, cold and sharp like an icy blade, overwhelmed all other sounds, reaching the ears of everyone present.

"To think someone could reach this place... It seems the long-standing peace has made you all complacent."

At this moment, everyone finally glanced at the person who had acted—

Wearing a white robe, adorned with a pair of golden-rimmed glasses, and wielding a mysterious and eerie-looking katana, it was none other than one of the Five Elders, the bald-headed leader St.Nusjuro

Boom!!!
