The Shansa camp rumbled . Anfey glanced over and his eyes widened . More than sixty magic arrows were released . He and the mages could not stop this many arrows . The formation of the griffin knights tightened and lunged at the druids and mages . They wanted to distract the mages long enough for the arrows to reach the camp .

The League had around five hundred mages left, but the strength of the mages varied . The only ones who were capable of doing real damage were the ones Saul brought .

The griffin knights were very strong and there were very few spells that could harm them . Unless they were attacked by a dozen mages at the same time, magic could not do much damage to the griffin knights .

Anfey gritted his teeth . "Left!" he called to Mauso . He believed in an eye for an eye . If he was under attack and could not defend himself, he would not waste time on defense .

Mauso did not know what Anfey wanted him to do, but he still turned to the left . A few moments later, the two saw a magic signal . That was a warning to the mercenaries that danger was coming .

The magic arrows crashed into the camp and exploded . The mercenaries had seen the signals, but the signal came too late and they were not fast enough to retreat to a safe distance . Miorich's knights were not spared from the attack either . More than four hundred knights were injured or killed by the arrows . The knights and mercenaries who survived quickly retreated away from the camp . They stood still, waiting for further instructions .

AdvertisementAs the magic arrows crashed into the camp, Anfey had already reached the Shansa soldiers in the air . He jumped off of Mauso's back . He teleported away from the knights and used three magic scrolls in quick succession, then drew his magic sword .

Lightning poured down from sky and struck the griffin knights .

Usually, the griffin knights' formation would be a loose one to prevent any accidents . They were close together because they wanted to put pressure on the mages . However, Mauso was flying too fast for them to react properly and they were surrounded by druids . This stopped them from spreading out and getting away from the lightning .

The formation of the griffin knights broke down as lighting continued to fall . The serial lightning went through the griffin knights and fell into the range of the magic array, then disappeared .

Dozens of griffin knights fell out of the sky and towards the magic array . This was because of the griffin knights' special stacking formation which allowed the maximization of the serial lightning's power .

"Get him!" one of the griffin knights called . "He doesn't have scrolls anymore!"

The remaining griffin knights turned and all flew towards Anfey . They knew that the only way they could survive was if they fought their way out .

Anfey smiled and raised his axe . He did not like levitation because it limited his speed . He was too slow to chase after the griffin knights, but now the griffin knights were coming to him .

The druids watched excitedly .

"Jacob, does he still have teleportation scrolls?" Saul asked, his eyes were gleaming .

"I think so," Jacob said . "I made at least a dozen . "

Saul nodded . He turned and whispered something to a mage next to him, then waved his hand and said, "Go with him . "

Anfey gripped his battle axe and observed his surroundings . Even though he was surrounded by enemies and looked like he was at a disadvantage, he was very relaxed . The griffin knights couldn't use their crossbows anymore and they could not stay in the same place for too long .

Anfey frowned . Instinctively, he felt something was wrong . He sensed that the druids were retreating and even Mauso was flying away .

In the distance, twenty of Saul's best mages began chanting and conjuring in unison . Anfey frowned and felt his body was growing heavier . He began falling out of the sky . The griffin knights were clearly affected too as they began falling to the ground as well .

Anfey frowned . His eyes widened as he suddenly realized what Saul's plan was . He quickly found a teleportation scroll and activated it, trying to get out of the range of the gravity spell .

He reappeared further away but was still in the range of the magic array . The teleportation scroll could not cancel out the effects of the gravity spell . Anfey activated another scroll and reappeared again within the range of the magic array .

Mauso flapped his large wings and caught Anfey on his back . The effects of the gravity spell were greater than he imagined . He flapped his wings but could not fly higher . He was forced to dive down and landed safely away from the magic array .

The griffin knights were not as lucky . The griffins could hardly fly under the effects of the gravity spell and the riders only made it harder . They fell into the magic array and disappeared in a flash .

The sky cleared . Most of the griffin knights had fallen from the sky and only a few remained . The druids circled around for a bit before landing . They had wasted too much energy . The mages needed rest as well .

Scarlet watched the event unfold with wide eyes . Next to her, Douminge's face held a mixture of shock and horror .

"Great!" Baery said with a laugh . He knew how important and dangerous the griffin knights were and this was a great victory for them .

"Douminge just used a forbidden spell," Steger said . "I don't think he can use another for a while . "

In the camp near the mouth of the valley, a messenger hurried up to Miorich and said, "General, Lord Saul said we can attack now . "

Miorich nodded . He raised his lance and waved his arm, leading the charging .

The magic array in the valley changed . Miorich stepped into the magic array but nothing happened to him . The knights behind him went through the magic array safely as well .

Anfey and Mauso rested for a few moments and rose into the air again . The two reached the Shansa army before Miorich .

Magic surges in the valley grew even stronger . Douminge paled . He could tell that Saul and Steger were both getting ready to use forbidden spells and he did not know what he should do .
