Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Under the city wall, a skinny figure stood in front of Goethe. He held a spear in one hand and firmly blocked Stanley’s spear.

“Who is it?!”

Stanley was surprised that his attack was blocked.

Goethe thought that he was going to die, so he closed his eyes.

Hearing Stanley’s question, he opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him. He said in surprise, “Mage Ye Tian!”

Goethe’s eyes widened in disbelief when he realized that Ye Tian had blocked Stanley’s attack with one hand.

How could a mage have such physical strength?!

Goethe had fought Stanley before, so he knew Stanley’s strength very well. Even though he often trained, it was still difficult for him to deal with Stanley.

Ye Tian did not turn around and said indifferently, “Go back. Leave this to me.”

Goethe hesitated, worried that Ye Tian alone might not be Stanley’s match.

“Don’t you understand my words?”

At this moment, Ye Tian’s urging voice sounded. Goethe gritted his teeth and got up on his horse, returning to Lunar Soul City quickly.

On the city wall, the generals and soldiers were stunned when they saw the figure that suddenly appeared.

“Who’s that?”

“He actually blocked Stanley’s attack.”

“Didn’t you notice that he seemed very relaxed?!”

The soldiers could not help but discuss.

“That’s Mage Ye Tian from Rock Town!”

While they were arguing, Nouye interrupted. The generals stopped one after another and looked over in surprise.

That’s a mage?!

When did mages have great physical strength?

If he could stop a knight who was charging at him on a horse, why did he become a mage instead of a knight?!

This group of generals who were good at martial arts revealed deep confusion in their eyes.

It was as if he was denying his talent given by heaven!

Nouye was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

‘Exactly.’

Why was Ye Tian so strong?

“Mage? You’re a mage?!”

Stanley raised his voice and looked at Ye Tian in a daze. He didn’t even care that Goethe had left.

“Doesn’t it look like it?”

The corners of Ye Tian’s lips curled up slightly when he heard that. He tightened his grip on the spear and with a whoosh, flames covered the spear.

Ye Tian’s arm shook and easily deflected Stanley’s spear. The tip of the spear stabbed toward his throat.

Clang!

Stanley leaned back and used his spear to block Ye Tian’s attack. Before Ye Tian could attack again, he pulled the reins and retreated.

He was the strongest knight on the Frost Snow Empire’s battlefield but he felt that it was a little tricky to deal with Ye Tian.

The other party’s strength was not weaker than his, but he could still add magic power to his weapon.

The scorching flames burned the air, making Stanley, who was wearing armor, very uncomfortable.

Stanley pulled a distance of more than ten meters and stood proudly on the horse’s back.

“You’re not bad, but it’s a pity that this is a battlefield. Individual strength doesn’t determine anything!”

Stanley raised his spear and shouted, “Brave knights, attack! Take down Lunar Soul City!”

Dong dong dong—

The ground trembled. Thousands of cavalrymen moved out. Countless horses’ hooves stepped on the ground, making deafening sounds.

“Mage Ye Tian, come back quickly!”

On the city wall, Nouye saw the other party launch an attack and shouted at the figure below the city wall with all her might.

Hearing her voice, Ye Tian turned to look at her but did not move.

An army of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses charged over. Dust flew everywhere, and a murderous sound spread out.

However, Ye Tian’s expression was calm as though he did not feel any pressure.

The cavalrymen were less than five meters away from Ye Tian and their sinister expressions and cold weapons could be seen clearly.

At this moment, the guards on the city wall could not bear to look at it anymore and closed their eyes.

The Red Moon Empire had always been at a disadvantage. Under such circumstances, they could not order their soldiers to fight just for Ye Tian.

Without the city walls of Lunar Soul City, they would have been defeated long ago.

Therefore, most of them could not understand why Ye Tian was unmoved when there was still time to retreat.

The cavalry was only three meters away from Ye Tian. To the cavalry riding on horses, this distance could be closed in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, Ye Tian moved. He bent down and touched the bottom with his right hand as he muttered softly.

In the next second, an invisible impact exploded with Ye Tian as the center and a large amount of dust flew up.

Earth-element Advanced spell—Sinkhole!

In front of Ye Tian, the ground suddenly collapsed and countless cavalrymen fell down with their horses before they could even react.

The scene fell into a dead silence.

A full minute passed, but when the dust settled, there was no sign of the cavalry. What appeared in front of everyone was a huge pit dozens of meters deep, a hundred meters long, and dozens of meters wide.

The generals and soldiers of the garrison widened their eyes and their pupils constricted.

This was too terrifying…

Nouye was also shocked. Thousands of cavalrymen were instantly buried in the pit. Was this the strength of a powerful mage?

Goethe was panting heavily when he climbed up the city tower. He even forgot to breathe when he saw this scene.

Ye Tian straightened his back slowly as the ground around him churned and returned to its original state. Countless painful moans sounded from the pit but as the soil covered it, it gradually weakened until it disappeared.

“Damn it!”

This scene deeply pierced Stanley’s heart. Those cavalrymen were all his confidants and elite soldiers. Now, they were gone!

“Enhance me. I want to fight him to the death!”

Stanley turned around and shouted at the mages.

Soon, waves of magic power rose and wrapped around Stanley.

His black armor lit up, and the spear in his hand and the horse under him was covered in flames. He seemed to have walked out of hell.

Stanley roared and rode towards Ye Tian.

With the enhancement of magic power, the horse was as fast as the wind.

Stanley’s eyes seemed to be spitting fire as he stabbed the tip of his spear at Ye Tian’s head.

“Spear, come!”

Reaching out with his right hand, Ye Tian shouted and countless water vapors appeared, quickly condensing into ice and turning into a blue ice spear.

Ye Tian gripped the ice crystal spear and swung it down.

The cold aura hit Stanley, and the flames on Stanley’s body shook and almost extinguished.

Stanley raised his spear to defend. As soon as the two collided, his expression changed drastically and he flew back uncontrollably. The horse knelt on all fours in front of Ye Tian.

Ye Tian ignored it and approached Stanley step by step.

“Don’t kill me. I can acknowledge you as my master. I’m willing to be your servant.”

Staring at the expressionless Ye Tian, Stanley began to beg for mercy.

“Servant? There’s no need. I don’t need it. You’d better die!”

Ye Tian was unmoved. He raised his ice crystal spear and raised his arm, throwing it towards Stanley.
