24: CHAPTER 19: Shattered Formation.
Chapter 10: Shattered Formation The entire Ye Mansion trembled.
Scarlet flames coiled around KING’s right arm, roaring like a dragon ready to devour everything before it.
At the same moment, freezing blue-white ice gathered around Shadow’s sword, causing frost to spread across the shattered courtyard.
The twins looked at each other.
Without speaking…
They understood.
“Now.” BOOOOM!!
Both disappeared from where they stood.
The Five Elders’ pupils shrank.
“They’re coming!” The eldest elder roared, “Hold the formation!” The five magical pillars blazed brighter as every elder poured the last of their magical power into the Five Directions Sealing Formation.
The golden barrier shone like a miniature sun.
Outside the mansion…
Everyone instinctively covered their eyes.
The pressure released from inside was enough to make the earth shake beneath their feet.
Inside the barrier— KING threw his fist forward.
“Flame Burst!” A torrent of crimson fire erupted from his punch and slammed into the center of the formation.
At the same instant— Shadow swung his sword.
“Ice Crescent!” A crescent-shaped wave of condensed ice raced forward, freezing everything in its path before crashing into the exact same point.
Fire and ice collided.
Instead of canceling each other…
They merged into a violent explosion.
BOOOOOOOOOM!!!
The entire formation shook violently.
Cracks spread across the barrier like a spider’s web.
The five elders coughed blood simultaneously.
“No…!” “Keep holding it!” “We’re losing control!” The eldest elder’s face turned pale.
“It’s impossible…” “They haven’t even mastered those elements!” “They’re forcing the formation apart with raw power!” Another deafening explosion echoed through the mansion.
CRAAAAACK!!
One of the five magical pillars shattered.
The third elder screamed as blood burst from his mouth.
“My pillar!” The magical circle immediately became unstable.
The balance had been broken.
Shadow seized the opportunity.
He vanished.
The next moment— He appeared beside the third elder.
The elder barely had time to widen his eyes before Shadow’s fist struck his chest.
BOOM!
His ribs collapsed inward.
He was blasted straight through the golden pillar behind him.
The pillar exploded into countless fragments.
With one pillar destroyed…
The formation lost nearly half of its stability.
The remaining four elders stared in horror.
“He destroyed the core!” “Retreat!” But it was already too late.
KING had reached the second elder.
His crimson-red eyes reflected no hatred.
No excitement.
Only absolute calm.
The elder desperately gathered earth magic around both arms.
“Stone Fortress!” Layers upon layers of stone covered his body.
KING’s fist met the armor.
For a brief second…
Silence.
Then— BOOOOOOM!!
The stone armor shattered into dust.
The elder flew hundreds of meters before crashing into the mansion’s ancestral hall.
The ancient building collapsed instantly.
The barrier flickered wildly.
The eldest elder gritted his teeth.
“We cannot maintain it anymore!” “Disperse!” The four remaining elders immediately abandoned the formation.
The massive magic circle trembled.
Its light dimmed.
Then— It exploded.
CRAAAAASH!!
Countless fragments of magical light scattered across the sky like shattered glass.
The Five Directions Sealing Formation…
Had been completely destroyed.
A deathly silence spread across the battlefield.
The citizens outside the mansion stood frozen.
Someone whispered, “They…” “They destroyed the Ye Family’s ultimate formation…” “With only Fire and Ice Magic…” Another muttered, “Who…
are those fighting in the Mansion?” Dust slowly settled.
KING and Shadow stood side by side once more.
Their breathing had become slightly heavier.
Although they had broken the formation…
It had consumed a considerable amount of their magical power.
The eldest elder noticed it immediately.
A vicious smile appeared on his face.
“So…” “You’ve finally used enough magic to become tired.” He slowly wiped the blood from his lips.
The remaining elders also stood back up despite their injuries.
One after another…
They surrounded the twins once again.
The eldest elder raised his sword.
“The formation may be gone…” “But the battle…” “…is far from over.”
