Captain Sarguan swung his sword heavily, unleashing an energy blade that cleaved through the golem's body.
The golem split in two, crashing into the nearby building with a resounding bang.
As the dust settled, the golem began to slowly rise, its body already beginning to regenerate.
"Run! I'll take care of this golem first. I'll make it quick!" Captain Sarguan instructed Amanda and Princess Iris before leaping onto the adjacent building.
Princess Iris nodded, turning to Amanda. "Let's go. Captain has it under control."
"Okay," Amanda agreed, stealing a quick glance at Captain Sarguan before following Princess Iris.
Swoosh!
Captain Sarguan materialized in front of the golem, his energy surging before a field expanded, covering a fifteen-ter radius.
[Slow World]!
Within the field, ti seed to decelerate, even slowing the golem's regeneration. "Die!"
Captain Sarguan moved with lightning speed, slashing his sword several tis in a re second. The golem failed to react in ti as its body crumbled. With precision, he sliced apart its core, extinguishing the golem's energy source.
As the field dissipated and he sheathed his sword, Captain Sarguan surveyed the fallen golem's remains. "This golem is formidable... Only an expert of the Fourth Shackle Realm or higher could have vanquished it."
The golems proved formidable, their numbers overwhelming. Captain Sarguan couldn't help but envision the horrors unfolding in other regions of the Walpurgis Night. Ordinary people, lacking the strength to resist, would be massacred like helpless prey.
He pivoted and trailed after Amanda and Princess Iris. Despite their slight lead, Captain Sarguan's speed ensured he'd catch up within monts.
Swoosh!
Captain Sarguan soared through the air, spotting the pair ahead. Accelerating, he swiftly closed the distance and landed behind them.
"Is it done, Captain?" Princess Iris inquired.
"Yeah, that golem was quite formidable," Captain Sarguan replied, his gaze flicking to the ground where other golems engaged in combat with remaining survivors. He longed to aid them, but finding the prince remained his priority.
"Hmm...?" Captain Sarguan scanned his surroundings, detecting others trailing behind them.
Amanda and Princess Iris also noticed the newcors. They appeared non-hostile, likely seeking refuge from the golems.
Despite their apparent innocence, Captain Sarguan remained cautious. He had no knowledge of these individuals.
The strangers exchanged glances with Captain Sarguan before continuing onward, recognizing the safety in numbers strategy amidst the golem threat.
Swoosh!!
A powerful surge of energy erupted, causing everyone to montarily freeze.
"What's happening?" Captain Sarguan's eyes narrowed as he turned to see a figure hurtling toward them.
Instinctively, he positioned himself in front of Princess Iris, sensing the approaching individual's malevolent intent.
"All these people have attracted that person's attention," Amanda observed, scanning their surroundings. She surmised that the newcor was drawn by the large gathering of individuals, each one a target in their eyes.
"Get ready!" Captain Sarguan shouted, swiftly erecting a barrier.
A colossal whip lashed out, unleashing a torrent of energy.
Bang!!
The whip's energy effortlessly cut through the weaker individuals nearby, their bodies rent in two as blood cascaded to the ground like rain.
Captain Sarguan gritted his teeth as he shielded Princess Iris and Amanda from the onslaught.
"Ugh... It's so heavy..." Amanda gasped, feeling as though a colossal weight bore down on her.
Captain Sarguan noted Amanda's struggle before addressing Princess Iris with determination. "Princess, you must escape. Leave this to ."
"No one leaves without my say," a commanding voice interrupted.
The survivors, still reeling from the attack, felt the oppressive aura emanating from the woman suspended in the air before them.
She was none other than Poisonous Vine, a formidable expert of the Sixth Shackle Realm. Poisonous Vine surveyed the survivors with a calculating gaze before speaking, her voice laced with nace. "Eleven... Eleven people survived my assault. Impressive."
Princess Iris and Amanda exchanged uneasy glances, feeling the oppressive weight of Poisonous Vine's unleashed energy. Their own strength, at Two and One Shackle respectively, paled in comparison to her overwhelming power.
"Perish!" Poisonous Vine's command preceded a swift lash of her whip.
Captain Sarguan channeled his energy, erecting a barrier to shield Princess Iris and Amanda. Despite his efforts, the three of them were swiftly overpowered, sent hurtling away in an instant. The remaining survivors t a grim fate, rcilessly cut down by Poisonous Vine's attack.
Bang!!
The trio crashed into a nearby building, its structure collapsing with their impact.
"It's rather exhilarating," Poisonous Vine remarked, her voice carrying a hint of satisfaction as she observed the whip in her hand.
It had been quite so ti since she had last unleashed such devastation. It wasn't a reflection of her weakness, but rather a testant to the formidable strength of the top experts who partic I in the battles of Selnes Country. Their prowess often overshadowed her own, giving the impression that she was rely an ordinary expert at the Sixth Shackle
Realm.
"I forgot. That monstrous bastard is here. I don't understand why he's still in the fourth stage, but at this mont, everyone treats him as if he's in the fifth stage. He's closer to the fifth stage than the peak fourth stage close to him," Poisonous Vine muttered, casting a glance at the boundary of the region with a furrow in her brow.
The Blood Lightning Monster.
The Only One.
A being that left an indelible mark on all who participated in the conflicts of Selnes Country.
While gazing at the boundary of the region, she noticed sothing peculiar. The dense dream power was gradually shifting to a shade of purple, emitting sparks in every direction. "What's happening?" Poisonous Vine muttered, her voice tinged with concern.
Suddenly, a powerful beam struck her from above, sending her body hurtling down like a stream of light, crashing onto the ground.
"Ugh!" Poisonous Vine groaned, spitting out a mouthful of blood as she glanced upward. There, she saw a figure erging from the thick dream power in the sky. It was a woman clad
in a dark robe, wielding a crimson-colored saber.
"Y-You!" Poisonous Vine's eyes widened in recognition.
The woman who descended was an elder of the Walpurgis Night known as Elder Uiny.
Elder Uiny scanned the area and declared, "This place will be sacrificed to the greater will. Everyone should accept their fate."
"What in the world are you saying?" Poisonous Vine gritted her teeth as she rose to her feet. She unleashed her energy and propelled herself toward the elder.
"Persistent," Elder Uiny remarked, casting a cold gaze down at Poisonous Vine.
Bang!!
The air trembled as the two powerful experts clashed.
Captain Sarguan, Princess Iris, and Amanda erged from the rubble, their eyes fixed on the
battle unfolding above.
Turning to the two won, Captain Sarguan inquired, "Did either of you sustain any
injuries?"
Princess Iris waved her hand dismissively, replying, "I'm unhard, thanks to you, Captain."
Both Princess Iris and Amanda erged unscathed, thanks to Captain Sarguan's protective presence. As the Captain of the Royal Guard of the Palleo Kingdom, his strength was
formidable.
"The individual who arrived... She's an elder, but her words suggest she's an opponent. Can you take her on, Captain?" Princess Iris turned to Captain Sarguan with concern in her eyes.
Captain Sarguan shook his head solemnly. "I can engage in combat, but victory seems unlikely. The elders of the Walpurgis Night surpass by far. Their combat techniques and
spells are of a caliber beyond mine."
Boom! Boom!!
In the sky above, Poisonous Vine and Elder Uiny clashed with ferocity. Their movents were lightning-fast, each exchange unleashing devastating force. The surrounding terrain suffered under the shockwaves of their confrontation.
"Damn..." Poisonous Vine staggered backward, gritting her teeth as she wiped blood from the
corner of her mouth.
"Are you finished? If so, then allow ..." Elder Uiny materialized in front of Poisonous Vine, her elental power surging like a tidal wave as she swung her saber with deadly precision.
[Trinity Elental Drive: Earth, Fire, and Wind Integration]!!
The entire terrain transford as towering volcanoes erupted, spewing molten rocks into the air. The wind carried waves of heat throughout the area, intensifying the chaos. Poisonous Vine plumted to the ground like a teor, attempting to shield herself with her [Elental Drive], yet she was still tossed about as if she were made of paper.
"Argh... Where's that Red Mist? She wanted to take down the elders, didn't she? Well, here's
one," Poisonous Vine growled through gritted teeth, realizing her inferiority against the
elders of the Walpurgis Night.
Elder Uiny peered down and declared, "You cannot thwart . All those present here will be sacrificed for the greater will. Every region in this land will undergo this fate."
"What do you an?" Poisonous Vine demanded as she struggled to her feet. "You're aware of a being who seeks to exterminate all life in this land, aren't you? Have you
heard the na Purity?" Elder Uiny inquired.
Poisonous Vine's eyes widened in shock. "The Purity... One of the Ten Commandnts of
God's Will..."
"Indeed. There will be no exceptions. Everything in this land will perish, and the entirety of
the Walpurgis Night will be obliterated," Elder Uiny stated coldly.
"Aren't you a witch?" Poisonous Vine asked.
"Yes, but I have co to realize the greatness of the higher power. The truth must remain
buried here, as the ti for its revelation has not yet arrived. No one shall see beyond, lest 'she' awaken prematurely," Elder Uiny explained.
"It appears I've uncovered a traitor among the witches. If you claim there are no exceptions, then I must confront you. If you had simply destroyed this place without involving , I might have overlooked it. But by including , you've essentially challenged to a duel," Poisonous Vine declared, her grip tightening on the whip in her hand, a sinister grin spreading across her face. "I won't go down without claiming at least one or two of your limbs."
