Chapter 997. Territory Advantage

Themos lifted his free hand just as the yellow beam arrived. A rectangular translucent bronze wall appeared before the king. The yellow beam smashed into the wall but it was unable to penetrate.

"Don't forget. This is still my palace!" Themos said. He then pointed at the crystal above and uttered, "deactivate!"

The runic symbols that were flaring on the ceiling around the execution crystal grew dim before disappearing altogether. The crystal lost its power and the assaulting beam stopped.

"Hah! Just accept your fate!" Themos exclaimed and swung his large sword. Raging winds filled with white flame swept across the hall.

Jack cast Barrier and Magic Shield, but he was still swept by the wind. He was thrown to the ceiling before slamming back to the floor. Duke Alfredo was in a better situation. He cast Magic Wall, but it broke after being assaulted by the flaming wind a few times. He staggered backward while protecting himself with his magic shield.
