"That's too much!"
A tingling sensation, like an electric current, surged through Azura's entire body, making her feel an overwhelming sense of comfort.
But for so reason, her small dragon face flushed slightly.
'How do you always manage to find these weird pressure points?!'
What was even stranger was that Azura herself had no idea she had such a peculiar spot on her body.
It was as if she had been charged with energy. After that strange sensation coursed through her, Azura suddenly felt her speed increase dramatically.
Whoosh.
The wind rushed past, and in an instant, Azura's speed multiplied several tis over!
"So fast, so fast, so fast!"
Sylvia, sitting gently in Timothy's arms on Azura's back, wasn't affected at all. In fact, the cool breeze made them feel incredibly comfortable.
But Holy Maiden Aeliana, who was holding onto Azura's dragon tail, had a completely different experience.
Inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred, the environnt was bizarre. Not only was spatial magic unusable, but even flying through the air ca with imnse pressure.
So, she hadn't had the chance to squeeze onto Azura's back with Timothy and Sylvia.
It had been manageable at first, but the sudden burst of speed completely caught Holy Maiden Aeliana off guard.
The wind howled past, her golden hair whipping wildly in the air, and her light dress fluttering uncontrollably in the gusts.
And the worst part…
High up in the sky, Holy Maiden Aeliana had to use her other hand to hold down her dress, her face turning completely red.
Because if she didn't…
"Timothy, I hate you!"
Unfortunately, her shout was quickly lost in the wind, carried away before anyone could hear it.
With Azura's sudden acceleration, the corpses of the Holy Emperor, who hadn't reacted in ti, missed their chance to strike.
The once tightly-knit encirclent was torn open, leaving a gap.
The fierce winds swirling around them were easily bypassed, and the final gate was now in sight.
Supre Emperor Zephyros was still trapped in the small world created by the Enigma Chessboard.
He was clearly furious, struggling to break free and stop Timothy and the others from advancing.
The Supre Emperor's terrifying power was beyond imagination.
Even though the Rare-level chessboard was of the highest quality, it was barely able to contain him.
Ti was running out.
"Wife, get ready to make a move," Timothy shouted, his eyes fixed on the seemingly impenetrable gate ahead.
"Got it." Sylvia nodded slightly, a cold aura radiating from her.
Azura's speed continued to increase, and they were getting closer and closer to the gate.
From any other angle, it looked like they were about to crash right into it.
At that mont, a powerful force suddenly erupted from Timothy.
"Celestial Feather Form!"
The Celestial Feather Form from the system's shop, along with his own summoned golden Sacred Form, appeared in the sky.
Without hesitation, the two Sacred Forms unleashed their full power, pressing down with overwhelming force.
At the sa ti, Sylvia made her move.
With a single slash, her sword unleashed a towering beam of light, filled with an endless, icy chill, cutting straight toward the gate.
The sheer might of her strike seed capable of freezing everything in its path, only to shatter it completely monts later.
"God of Flowers Form!"
Without any prior coordination, Holy Maiden Aeliana, who was clutching Azura's dragon tail with one hand and desperately holding down her skirt with the other, shouted in frustration and embarrassnt.
The sky lit up with a brilliant glow, and waves of pressure rippled through the air.
The combined force of the three of them pressed down simultaneously.
Two Holy Emperors, plus Timothy's absurdly overpowered strength that far exceeded his level, unleashed a terrifying impact that caused the massive gate to tremble.
"Push harder!"
With a flick of his finger, Timothy's golden Sacred Form unleashed its full power.
Finally, the gate began to crack open, and the sealing runes flowing across its surface shattered in an instant.
This was their chance.
The intricate patterns on the gate started to reconnect, threads of energy reaching out as if trying to repair the breach and close the gate once more.
But in that brief mont, Azura pushed herself to her absolute limit.
A dragon's roar echoed through the depths of the Sepulcher of the Sacred.
Though the gap in the gate was shrinking rapidly, Azura surged forward with unprecedented speed.
Roar!
Just as the gate was about to close, Azura seized the mont and dashed through.
Boom! The gate slamd shut behind them, and Azura had successfully made it inside.
However, Holy Maiden Aeliana, who had been holding onto Azura's tail, was the last to make it through.
As the gate closed, her body made it in, but her precious embroidered shoe got caught in the door.
"Ouch!"
Holy Maiden Aeliana stumbled and tumbled to the ground, rolling a few tis before coming to a stop.
Her embroidered shoe was stuck in the door, and one of her delicate, pale feet was now bare.
"We finally made it... sniff..."
Holy Maiden Aeliana's nose twitched, and she almost burst into tears.
As a Holy Maiden of the Sacred Land, a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse, she had never been in such a humiliating situation—except when Sylvia bullied her. But this? This was on a whole new level.
Now she'd lost a shoe, and she'd almost had a wardrobe malfunction. This trip to the Sepulcher of the Sacred was turning into a nightmare!
"Calm down, Holy Maiden."
Timothy couldn't help but chuckle at her pitiful expression and tried to comfort her.
After all, she hadn't even had the chance to sit on Azura's back. Instead, she'd been dangling in midair, flailing around in the dangerous Sepulcher of the Sacred. It was a bit tragic, to be honest…
No one really knew what kind of constitution Holy Maiden Aeliana had. Despite inheriting the divine dignity of the Sacred Land's Holy Maiden, she always seed to be the one getting hurt.
Azura, now back in her human form, quickly rubbed her little dragon tail.
Holy Maiden Aeliana had looked so pitiful earlier, but Azura's tail had been yanked the entire ti, and she was in quite a bit of pain herself!
Their tear-filled eyes t, and for a mont, Holy Maiden Aeliana and Azura shared a mutual understanding of their suffering. They both felt like hugging each other and having a good cry.
Roar!
Just then, a furious roar echoed from outside. Supre Emperor Zephyros had finally broken free from the Enigma Chessboard's restraints.
The corpses of the Holy Emperors, led by Zephyros, surged toward the gate.
But as they reached the entrance, they all stopped.
Even Supre Emperor Zephyros, standing at the front with his blood-red eyes glowing, stared at the gate but didn't take another step forward.
"It seems they really won't enter this gate," Timothy exhaled in relief.
Thankfully, things were going as he had predicted.
However…
"What exactly caused such a drastic change inside the Sepulcher of the Sacred?"
Timothy and Sylvia scanned their surroundings. Inside the gate, it was pitch black, cold and foreboding like an endless abyss.
And in the deepest part of the darkness, Timothy finally spotted a faint light.
A small golden orb was glowing with a sacred radiance, slowly dripping golden liquid.
But now, that golden orb seed to be corroding, with streaks of crimson blood seeping out!
