Wangdu, Xicheng District.
The entire area of buildings collapsed into irregular ruins and rocks.
Heavy dust rose from the earth, as if a brown curtain had been laid out.
The earth was left with depressions, and countless fine cracks appeared around them, with deep fissures extending out like ravines.
A large group of hooded mages in blue uniforms held various magical tools.
Azure magic slowly rose from above their heads, forming a transparent, crystalline blue barrier in mid-air.
Not yet fully evacuated, they were forced to huddle together with the inhabitants encountered by the earth giants, hiding under a magical barrier.
They could only look up helplessly at the city reduced to ruins.
In the dead silence, a powerful surge of magic suddenly erupted from the central district.
Terrifying, strangely colored lights, accompanied by a wild wind, swept towards the western district.
The powerful thrust caused everyone to involuntarily lean forward, nearly falling over.
When the mages, who were focused on maintaining the magical barrier, sensed this fluctuation of magical power, they all frowned slightly.
This intense magical fluctuation even affected the magical items in their hands.
Even the fluorescent blue barrier supporting their heads began to flicker slightly, as if it were about to fail.
As they tried to find the source of this fluctuation, everyone looked up.
The glistening snowflakes reflected in my eyes, as if I were being swept into a storm.
Carrying shattered ice crystals and a strange, faint light, it swept across everyone's heads.
They stared in disbelief at the distant view that resembled a divine tree.
However, just as everyone was still reeling from the shock, a crisp collision broke the silence.
Crack, crack.
One stone after another fell from the sky, hitting the barrier and kicking up a cloud of brown dust.
Through the scene before them, everyone saw Levi waving his right hand not far away.
His right hand instantly transformed into a long, flowing blue whip, lashing out at the enormous rock giant.
In an instant, the giant shattered.
Clear cracks began to spread from where the whip touched, quickly covering the giant's entire body.
Countless stones exploded from the giant rock in an instant, falling like raindrops in all directions.
They crashed down among the ruins of the western district, kicking up a cloud of dust.
With a flick of his arm, the long whip quickly retracted, returning to the shape of an ordinary human arm.
Seeing the giant utterly defeated, he turned to the protected residents and said in a deep voice:
"We're safe for now."
Hearing Rivi's words, the residents breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions revealing deep joy.
Fortunately, Duke Reeves arrived in time to provide support with his army of mages.
Those familiar with the Duke of Riviera were even more awestruck by his impressive performance.
Duke Rivi had only recently been promoted to a fourth-tier mage.
But even a fourth-tier mage, being able to fight those rock giants on equal terms is already quite terrifying.
The power of the rock giant is deeply ingrained in people's minds.
As soon as it appeared, it almost leveled the surrounding area.
If the rock giant hadn't suddenly stood still and remained motionless, they wouldn't have even imagined they could win this battle.
While the residents were still marveling at Duke Reeves' power, they saw him turn around and issue orders to the mage legion:
"It's too late to retreat to the palace now. Take these people and evacuate out of the city quickly."
Upon receiving the order, the mages surrounding the crowd nodded in unison in agreement:
"yes."
The people readily agreed with Duke Riviera's arrangement and nodded in approval.
They believed in Reeves.
After all, he's a duke, why would he harm them?
Given the current situation in the capital, it is indeed extremely dangerous, just as Duke Rivi said.
Not only do earthquakes occur frequently, but giant stone monsters like the one we just saw also appear.
They don't want to experience it again.
The crowd moved quickly, and the line quickly and neatly formed.
The magic guild tightly surrounded the crowd and quickly and orderly withdrew from the capital.
As groups of people departed in a grand procession, until they disappeared from sight.
He sat wearily on the stone ruins, one foot on a rock, and exhaled deeply:
"call--"
"The calamity of earth... It's not the real thing, yet it's so difficult to deal with."
Duke Reeves, panting heavily, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The battle with the rock giant had left him quite exhausted.
Although Levi brought many mages, their main task was to protect the residents of the West District.
Want them to fight the rock giant? These mages are no help at all.
After all, a mage is a versatile profession but not one that excels in any particular area.
In terms of magic, he is inferior to a mage; in terms of strength, he cannot compare to a warrior.
Therefore, the battle just now was equivalent to Levi facing an entire rock giant all by himself.
Moreover, this thing is extremely tough, and ordinary methods simply cannot cause it any effective damage.
Recalling the fierce battle just now, Levi twisted his shoulders, seemingly having recovered a lot of strength.
He couldn't help but sigh and mutter to himself:
"If Aubrey were here, he probably could have pierced it with a single shot."
Fortunately, the stone giant suddenly stopped moving, which gave Reeves the opportunity to execute it.
And that magical fluctuation just now...
