Chapter 375: Hymn of the Angel

The Dragon Sequence, although powerful, was not mainstream in the West Continent and had few members. Unlike the East, which had many sects, the Dragon Sequence in the West was mainly represented by the Transfiguration of Dragons faction.

Xuefrost, a student from the Jinque Dynasty of the Eastern Continent, was also part of the participating team at the High Tower Academy. She was selected purely due to her own strength and reputation and did not join Jack’s mysterious club.

Not only because her brother was a famous figure in the school, but also due to her unique Eastern appearance and attire. This snow-white maiden stood out among the crowd, like a crane among chickens. She practiced the Dragon Sequence, but instead of the Transfiguration of Dragons faction, she followed the Sacrifice to Dragons faction.

It should be noted that the Dragon Sequence factions in the Eastern Continent were divided into Transfiguration of Dragons, Sacrifice to Dragons, Summoning of Dragons, Dragon Riders, and Dragon Cultivation, representing the unique characteristics of the ancient Five Phoenix Kingdoms. After the Phoenix Witch passed away, Su Qin integrated the dragon veins of various countries on the continent, becoming the divine dragon witch of the Jinque Dynasty. Only then did the five factions begin to integrate and promote each other.

When most of the students of the High Tower Academy transformed into giant dragons, this maiden did not move but led about ten students from the Eastern Continent to stand at the rear. They all wore white robes.

The research on the Dragon Sequence in the Eastern Continent had reached its peak, and the Sacrifice to Dragons faction was specifically for guiding and manipulating dragon veins. By ‘dragon vein,’ it referred to the vast and slow-flowing mana in the earth.

Currently, Emanas, although not as refined as the Eastern Continent, where the mana in the earth had been smoothed over generations and was very agile and fluid, could still trigger some beneficial effects under the manipulation of these witch doctors and priests.

At this moment, Xuefrost was in an open wilderness on the south side of the High Tower Academy. There were no other towering mountain ridges around, and the view was extremely expansive.

In front of the open space was a huge cauldron, with two smaller cauldrons on each side, making a total of five bronze cauldrons. These cauldrons were filled with soil taken from the earth, with incense burning inside them.

With a clear sound, Xuefrost stepped out barefoot, treading on the tender green grass. Her feet were covered with a faint glow, keeping them free from dust. She wore rings with bells on her wrists and ankles. As she walked and slowly danced, the bells softly rang, echoing through the fields.

She held a bundle of unknown grains woven together in her hand. As she performed the Sacrifice to Dragons dance, she gently turned. Behind her, several others began assisting their fellow Dragon Sequence witch, guiding the immense mana in the mountains.

Although they couldn’t fully evoke the weather anomalies and changes in the sky like in the East, even a small fraction of this vast mana was enough to change many things.

The various colored dragons in the sky felt the mysterious magical enhancement and saw their strength increase, becoming more powerful. These dragons, carrying dark clouds, rode the wind and misted the air. Even though they weren’t as graceful as the dragons from the East, guided by the wizards, they unleashed thunder and lightning, like celestial might descending upon the world, gradually approaching and enveloping the Temple Academy.

“This is the rain and wind invocation technique of the Eastern nation? Quite unique.”

Ingrid, riding a horse amidst a group of fully armed white knights, looked up at the sky and sighed.

“However, our angels in the Holy Land have ways to counter it.”

She drew her long sword from her waist and waved it toward the sky. A new star rose from the earth, blooming in the dense clouds. In front of a secluded hall in the Temple Academy, a group of nuns in white robes with silver edges also began to act after seeing this.

These nuns, hidden under hoods and veils, had eyes that shone like burning pure white flames. Their bodies gradually became lighter, and pairs of snow-white wings slowly spread from their backs. Nearly twenty special Holy Land students ascended into the sky.

Wings made of light, pure and unblemished, although only at Sequence 6, could mimic some of the angels’ power. However, it was sufficient to counter this temporary rain and wind invocation.

Golden rays of sunlight pierced through the sky like swords, dissolving the dark clouds and dispersing the magical power of other sequences in the atmosphere, significantly weakening the enhancement of the dragon veins on these giant dragons. Then, light shone on the wilderness, and spears were erected on skeletons, preparing to face the incoming war machines.

Cecina sat on her staff and swooped down, beginning to guide the necromancer army on the ground.

Currently, at the forefront were the skeleton spear army, used as cannon fodder and consumables. In the center was a massive bone-toothed chariot. On the left were half-human, half-horse necromancer riders, and on the right were the headless knight legion. Behind were skeleton archers and various types of necromancer modifications. Additionally, most of the necromancer sequence wizards also gathered here.

The angel sequence participants inside the academy did not go out but stayed around the Temple Academy’s encampment, preventing any surprise attacks while also serving as reserves to handle unexpected situations on the battlefield.

Lolan Hill was currently surrounded by these white-robed members in front of the hall, watching the battle ahead from afar.

Seeing those members with white feathers ascending into the sky, she no longer hid her strength as before. Instead, she closed her eyes slightly, softly opened her lips, and sang a prayer hymn in white.

An old song about sacred relics, led by this silver-haired songstress, was soon joined by the other angel sequence members behind her.

Angel’s First Scale — Prelude

[The past wind blows across the wild]

[I bring new sprouts and hope]

[Like birds flying under the blue sky]

[You will soar here too]

[Through deep valleys and forests]

[Towards the land of dreams]

The quiet singing was not loud, like a whisper at the ear, resonating in the students’ ears. A clarity and understanding never felt before arose in their hearts. Pure white magical winds echoed throughout the academy, infecting all present students.

The extraordinary core inside their bodies changed, becoming more stable and robust, allowing their owners to adapt to more intense skill releases and deal with more damage.

Compared to the demon sequence, which excelled in solo combat, Lolan Hill’s angel sequence focused more on group combat, significantly enhancing their own strength. Under the lead of this silver-haired girl, the Temple Academy choir performed far beyond its usual effectiveness, with most sequence five students temporarily reaching sequence six combat strength.

Thus, even if the opposing students were enhanced by special power seeds, there was no significant gap between them.

At this moment, a few ‘angels’ in the sky also began to engage with the arriving dragons.

White feathers flew through the sky, and these nearly twenty angel sequence members wielded swords burning with white flames, cutting through the air like shooting stars, colliding with the approaching dragon horde.
