Elara was now standing on a high platform built beside the training grounds, assigning tasks one by one.

"According to intelligence, the terrain where the rescue target is located is a circular lake area. Shirley of the Fifth Legion, after the outlet to the outside world is open, you are responsible for reconnaissance ahead! Then disperse to the edges of the outer lake area to stand guard, and eliminate any approaching monsters! And I will personally lead the 'Rescue Legion' to carry out the rescue operation. As for the First Legion, you will stay in the city to defend until we return!"

"Yes!"

A loud and uniform response came from the First Legion and Fifth Legion, while the Rescue Legion, which was cobbled together in a short time, responded sporadically and unevenly.

"Let's start now!"

Satisfied with a nod, a golden magic circle suddenly appeared under Elara's feet.

At the same time, a huge golden magic circle also appeared in the sky overhead, spinning constantly, resonating with the magic circle on the high platform.

I had seen this magic circle before, it was the external space teleportation array I saw when I first entered Edenmere. Only now it had been moved by Elara over our heads.

On the way from the dungeon, we had already learned how to get to the Dark Continent - using this external space teleportation array to open the outlet to the Dark Continent, going directly to the lake where Reed and the others were located above.

It is said that since the summoning of the Angel Descending Formation, this space teleportation array has been fixed in the sky above the Astral Realm Kingdom. Because moving the outlet position is quite troublesome, each time the magic circle needs to be redrawn according to the orientation of the inlet and outlet, which is the golden magic circle under Elara's feet now, it took so long to prepare.

"Don't you think it feels very oppressive?"

Cyra stared at the huge magic circle overhead and exclaimed in astonishment with her imagination running wild.

"What if this magic circle falls and crushes someone to death?"

"The magic circle overhead is just an illusion, the control magic circle under Elara's feet is the real magic circle. "

Mia was also standing behind us at this time. She looked up at it and immediately explained the principle. As expected of someone in this profession, professional!

As she said, the control magic circle and the illusory magic circle were now rotating in sync. It felt like decoding an old rotating combination lock, checking the scales one by one. Finally, both magic circles stopped at the same time, shining brightly, indicating that the outlet was opened.

"Fifth Legion, move out!"

Following Legion Commander Shirley's order, all the angels of the Fifth Legion immediately rose into the air and surrounded the center of the illusory magic circle. Then a six-winged angel went in first and disappeared instantly.

"Reconnaissance reports no enemy near the outlet."

The first to react was not Legion Commander Shirley, but Elara still standing on the high platform. She said and hurriedly gave us instructions.

"Just as the outlet opened, the rescue target asked for help saying a large number of monsters are gathering at the edge of the lake area, ready to attack at any time. So your actions must be quick!"

Following her order, Shirley waved her hand, and all the angels of the Fifth Legion orderly dove one by one into the center of the magic circle, leaving Edenmere.

"She stands here but can directly obtain reconnaissance information outside Edenmere, is it because of the communication magic mentioned earlier?"

Nicola looked at Elara on the high platform, somewhat uncertainly asking me.

"Yes."

I nodded. This was also the communication magic the patrol angel mentioned earlier.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"If I remember correctly, the name of this magic seems to be 'Spiritual Convergence'."

As long as you use this magic, you can communicate remotely with Elara regardless of distance without using language. In theory, as long as you are in continuous light elements, you can easily achieve communication conditions.

In this world, the light elements are almost everywhere, even the Dark Continent is no exception. It is only a matter of more or less, so this feature is very powerful, simply a tool for obtaining information.

The only downside is that the user who hosts the communication requires an extremely high level of light element control. As the communication distance increases and the number of communicators increases, this requirement threshold will continue to rise. This also led to the fact that only angels with eight wings could do it, while humans were almost excluded from this.

So, Elara was able to confirm Reed and the others' specific location and open the transfer outlet to the other side, also due to this magic. Obviously, there was also an angel besides Reed using this magic to communicate with Elara.

" Rescue Legion, move out!"

With the departure of the entire Fifth Legion, next up was our Rescue Legion. Elara took the lead and dove into the center of the illusory magic circle without hesitation, and we hurried to follow her one by one, while Cyra was naturally taken care of as Nicola had promised.

"Nicola!"

Just as it was almost my turn to leave, I suddenly heard someone calling my name from below. Looking back, it turned out to be Teacher Aetina!

"Cyra, Nicola!"

Seeing my response, she greeted the two guys next to me at the same time.

"I'm so glad Teacher is fine! I haven't seen her since the 'blackout' today, didn't expect to meet here."

Cyra waved her hand happily and said to me very gratefully.

"Aetina is an angel who retired from the angel legion. Although only six wings, her strength is quite strong, not much worse than ordinary eight-wing angels."

Nicola emphasized without surprise.

"That's right! The main point of this demon invasion is catching people off guard. Although the overall average strength is not bad, compared to Aetina's level, it is still not enough. Most of the casualties were also low-level angels and light elves who had never been to the outside world."

I also chimed in. Of course, there was still the most important point I didn't mention, and that was Michelle, the key figure who made the decisive difference in this battle! If it wasn't for Cyra's fluke using the nuclear bomb to blow her up, the outcome would have been very hard to predict.

Upon entering the outlet and arriving at the Dark Continent, the first sight was the familiar sky, overcast with clouds and dim light.

"Oh my god, what the hell are those things!"

Cyra's scream came from behind. Following her pointing finger, I saw the shore of the lake below was full of dense monsters. At first glance, almost all were undead creatures made up of skeletons. From the most common low-level skeleton warriors to bone dragons flying in the sky that were already fighting the Fifth Legion, all kinds showed up. As long as it was the skeleton of a creature, it could be pieced together to resemble its pre-life form and join the battle.

The battle in the sky was quite fierce. Although at first glance there were quite many sixth-order bone dragons, with many angels tackling them, there were no major problems. On the ground, due to the obstruction of the lake, only a narrow island access channel, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, most of the undead legions could only gather near the island entrance and did not play much of a role.

"Why are most of them undead?"

Nicola looked down and asked strangely as well. It was still acceptable in the air, at least some other monsters were mixed in. But the ground was just skeletons and zombies left. Although some of them were wearing armour, and even equipped with mounts, after all, they were still skeletons and zombies!

"It may be related to Reed's 'Five Light Ten Color' magic."

I thought about it and guessed. This magic was too overbearing, simply a weapon of the few defeating the many. Even the monsters fell for it! But it also had many weaknesses. I won't go into the loophole that it can be avoided by closing your eyes. Mindless undead creatures like skeletons would not be affected either.

I guess the demon side had launched many attacks and suffered heavy losses, forcing them to use this method.

"Our mission is to follow Lady Elara to the island to rescue people. Pay attention and keep close!"

At this time Aetina also came over. Seeing the three of us chatting at the exit, she reminded us verbally.

"Oh...okay!"

Hearing her, I hurriedly responded. As expected of a former angel legion member, she became extremely focused as soon as she came to the battlefield, never forgetting the mission, behaving completely unlike us temporary fill-ins.

Speaking of which, this was the first time I officially went to the battlefield. Angels and monsters were fighting all around, but these were not something the Rescue Legion needed to deal with.

Under Aetina's lead, we were rapidly decreasing altitude, descending towards the small island in the center of the lake. The whole way was extremely smooth, and almost no decent enemies were encountered. They must have been cleared out by the angels ahead.

Elara had already landed on the island. She could vaguely be seen talking to a two-winged angel.

But a sudden change occurred - a huge demon poked its head out from behind their lookout tower, even bursting through the whole tower body. Then it raised its scythe and charged at the two-winged angel.

"Quick, turn around, face the ground, don't look there!"

Aetina in front of us stopped in an instant, turning back to shout at us anxiously.

"Lady Elara just informed all nearby angels to do so through the spiritual network. Hurry!"

"Could it be..."

I understood at once. Most likely Reed was going to use 'Five Light Ten Color' again.

Sure enough, when we turned around as instructed and Aetina gave the all-clear, looking back at the ground, we found that the big demon was already clutching its head, writhing in pain on the ground.

"So that's what being hit by 'Five Light Ten Color' looks like..."

Seeing the situation, Cyra patted her chest and said apprehensively.

Fortunately, we reacted in time, otherwise we would have fallen from the sky. The benefits of 'Spiritual Convergence' are shown here!
