The elite soldiers of the Fireleaf Guard and the Miracaesar Knights were roughly equal in combat ability. In one-on-one combat, neither side could quickly kill the other, resulting in a prolonged and drawn-out battle. However, the Miracaesar Knights outnumbered the Fireleaf Guard's elite troops by more than double and were not interested in one-on-one duels. Therefore, the reality was that each Fireleaf soldier faced attacks from two to three Miracaesar Knights! A single misstep could result in a Miracaesar Knight cutting them down with a single sword strike. There was no room for error; they could only fight cautiously against the Miracaesar Knights.
However, at the officer level, the situation was quite the opposite.
The temporary commander of these Miracaissa knights from different duchies and units was Count Hemfis Aimon of Erebus, whose combat prowess was poor, practically nonexistent. As a civilian official, he was now only able to barely evade the attacks of Duke Aragosa and General Strylisa Magkara under the protection of a few powerful knights.
With poor swordsmanship and no knowledge of magic or miracles, he endured immense suffering while dodging attacks from Aragosana and Strylisa, two fifth-tier archmages and the dragon slayer!
At this moment, he somewhat regretted sending Lu Ming to protect the Grand Duke and the others. At least if he were here, his pressure would be much less.
"Oh no! I'm doomed!" Suddenly, while dodging a spell from Aragosana, he tripped and fell to the ground. In that instant, he knew he was in trouble and might die.
Just as he expected, the instant she saw him fall, Strychlis unleashed a sword slash, aiming straight for Hemphis's head, intending to kill him in one blow!
But suddenly, two roars that seemed inhuman echoed throughout the entire floor.
A crimson lightning spear and a crystalline, azure soul spear shot rapidly from afar, crashing viciously into the sword aura before it could strike Hemphis!
Immediately, three different forces began to contend in mid-air, emitting energy that was so unsettling that the lightning that flew out alone frightened Hemphis so much that he rolled on the ground several times before getting up and running away.
Two seconds later, the Sunlight Spear, the Crystal Soul Spear, and Strylisa's sword slash exploded as they canceled each other out!
"Who!?" Seeing that her attack had not yielded the desired result, Strylisa roared angrily in the direction from which the Sunlight Spear and the Crystal Soul Spear had been fired.
Helmphis yelled back at the same time, "Damn it, too slow!"
"These two elves are both fifth-tier powerhouses. Do you think I, a fourth-tier mage, can defeat them without calling for help?" A beast-like voice chuckled, and then two enormous beasts, resembling a combination of crocodiles and wolves, with six eyes, emerged from the darkness in that direction.
The six eyes of the speaking beast shone with a sun-like brilliance, both rational and radical. The other beast's six eyes, however, gleamed with a soul-deep blue, both mad and greedy.
The appearance of these two berserk beasts startled both Miracaissa's and Aifa's soldiers, but then Hemfis suddenly spoke up, "These two fifth-tier guys are yours to handle. If you win, it's on me."
"Ha! Then you're definitely treating!" The mad beast laughed loudly, then roared at the knights of the Kingdom of Miracaissa, "You all heard that! We won, Count Amon is treating! Brothers, get ready to eat him out of house and home!"
"Oh~!!!" Seeing that the beast was on their side, and after hearing that the count was treating them to a meal, Miracaissa's knights immediately felt their morale soar.
Then, amidst the cheers of Miracaissa's knights, the two raging beasts charged toward Aragosa and Strysa.
Upon seeing this, the two elves were startled and hurriedly unleashed sword slashes and ice magic in an attempt to intercept the terrifying beast.
Unfortunately, the two beasts directly shattered their attacks with a Sunlight Spear and a Crystal Soul Spear, and charged towards them.
Chapter Sixty-Six - Twin Dragons
"Roar~!!!" With a loud roar, a gigantic maw full of sharp teeth snapped down at Aragosana.
As the gaping maw drew ever closer, Aragosa's heart skipped a beat. Fear gripped her, and she instinctively used teleportation magic, narrowly dodging the beast's bite.
But before she could react, just as she dodged the gaping maw's bite, a crimson spear of sunlight shot straight at her.
Seeing this, Strylisa rushed over and swung her sword fiercely. With a powerful strike combined with fierce energy, Strylisa forcefully shattered the mad beast's Sunlight Spear.
However, the lightning that flew out also caused minor injuries to her and Aragosana.
The two beasts paced around Aragosana and Strylisa, their three pairs of golden and three pairs of dark blue eyes fixed on them as if they were hungry monsters ready to devour them, filling them with fear and dread.
Suddenly, the beast whose eyes shone with the light of the sun attacked. Terrifying golden lightning crackled across its fur as it charged towards Aragosa and Strylisa. With each step it took, the thunderous roar was deafening; had Aragosa and Strylisa been less timid, they might have been terrified.
However, the two of them are quite daring.
Sensing the raging beast charging towards them, they immediately joined forces to unleash several powerful attacks, forcing it to stop.
However, this is not the only beast.
Just as they forced the lightning beast to stop its charge and dodge their attacks, the beast with the soul crystal seized the opportunity and fired a crystal soul spear from behind them, hitting Strylisa squarely in the back.
Even though Strylisa noticed the attack before it hit her and used her inner energy to create a shield behind her, she was still struck so hard that she coughed up blood and almost fell to the ground.
The powerful attack of the Crystal Soul Spear inflicted considerable damage on Strysa. For a short time, she was almost unable to stand. If it weren't for Aragosana's timely healing spell, she might have exposed another opening, allowing the two mad beasts to seize the opportunity and attack them.
“These beasts are very strong. Even we might fall into their hands if we don’t give it our all!” With one hand supporting Strylisa, and the other using her staff to unleash a large number of ice swords at the two raging beasts, forcing them back, Aragosana said to Strylisa.
“One hundred percent? Ha!” Strylisa couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Aragosana’s words. She plunged her sharp longsword into the unimaginably solid fortress ground, slowly straightened up, and her aura surged out wildly, carving countless marks into the ground.
At this moment, her aura had risen to an unimaginable level, causing all the elves, humans, beastmen, and merfolk, except for the two mad beasts and her companion Alagosana, to instinctively distance themselves from her. Their very genes told them that Strylisa was too dangerous; to approach her would mean death!
"Dragonblood Warrior? You've been hiding your strength?" Aragosana asked in surprise, looking at Strylisa, who was radiating bronze-colored aura.
Before Strylisa could answer, she casually unleashed an ice spell, transforming herself into a magical being of ice elemental nature, no longer a being of flesh and blood.
Upon seeing this, Strisley chuckled and said, "Aren't you hiding your strength too? You magical spirit."
Looking at Aragosana and Strylisa, two elves who were clearly sixth-tier powerhouses but liked to pretend to be fifth-tier, the Thunder Beast felt a slight bitterness in its mouth. It glanced at the Crystal Soul Beast and saw that it was also looking at it.
They could see the helplessness and surprise in each other's eyes. However, neither of them intended to back down.
"Two sixth-tier beasts, looks like we're in for a tough time." With a somewhat helpless smile, the Thunder Beast took out the Judgment Greatsword and the Sin Greatsword, and handed the Judgment Greatsword to the other beast.
The other berserker, having received the greatsword of retribution, responded with a low growl. Clearly, its madness was far more profound than that of the Thunder Beast. Even its ability to speak had been lost due to its beast-like transformation.
"You vile beasts, today is your death day!" Strylisa said coldly, pointing her longsword at the Thunder Beast and spewing fierce energy from her body.
On the other side, Aragosana, transformed into a magical element, also held a magic staff and coldly stared at another raging beast.
"..." Silently watching Strysa, the Thunder Beast suddenly pounced, raising its greatsword of sin high and slashing down viciously! The moment the heavy greatsword fell, an ominous flame ignited on its blade, causing all the humans and elves in the area to tremble!
"BOOM!!!"
The greatsword slammed viciously into the ground, and the flying flames of sin illuminated the surroundings, including the face of Strylisa, who had successfully dodged the beast's fierce attack.
Upon landing, Strylisa, before she could even regain her footing, swung her longsword fiercely, unleashing a bronze-colored sword aura that slashed straight at the Thunder Beast.
Seeing this, the mad beast did not hesitate at all. He immediately flicked his wrist and launched a fierce upward strike, causing the sinful fire on the Greatsword of Sin to burn fiercely and directly strike Strysa's sword aura slash!
With the help of the eerie flames of sin, the incredibly sharp greatsword successfully sliced through Strylisa's sword aura! However, it did not disperse Strylisa's sword aura. After being sliced, the sword aura flew to both sides and struck a wall behind the Thunder Beast, leaving a terrifying mark on it!
The hand of the Thunder Beast that had sliced through the sword aura of the Dragonblood Warrior, Strylisa, was trembling as it held the Greatsword of Sin. The immense force generated when the sword struck the sword aura not only left many nicks on the Greatsword of Sin but also injured its wrist, making it difficult to hold the sword.
Witnessing the Thunder Beast's incredible feat of slicing through Strylisa's sword aura, almost everyone, human and elf, was startled. Hemphis, in particular, was so shocked he exclaimed, "My God! You can shatter ordinary sword auras, one thing, but how could you even slice through the sword aura of a Dragonblood Warrior?!"
"In the end, Qi is just a kind of energy. As long as the force is sufficient, the weapon is sturdy, and the point of impact is reasonable, why can't it cut through?" The Thunder Beast smiled slightly, staring intently at Strylisa, and asked Hemphis in return.
Upon hearing this, Hemphis and Stellaris's first reaction was to refute it, as such a thing had never occurred in Puru's history. However, upon further reflection, they realized that things seemed to be as the Thunder Beast had described. Qi was indeed merely a power generated from the resonance of cellular energy and consciousness energy, no different from magic power—both were forms of energy. So, if magic power could be dispersed and cut, why couldn't the sword slashes created by Qi be dispersed and cut?
After having this idea, they, along with other people and elves, couldn't help but gain a new understanding of Qi.
However, any insight gained during battle is actually dangerous. Because insights can distract either the human or the spirit!
Seizing the opportunity when Strylisa was distracted by his words, he unleashed a sweeping strike, aiming directly at Strylisa, who was somewhat caught off guard.
Caught off guard by the Thunder Beast's attack, Strylisa had no time to react. She instinctively used her inner energy to shield her longsword, making no other move. The instant the Greatsword of Sin struck her sword, a tremendous force slammed into it, sending Strylisa and her sword flying, crashing heavily more than ten meters away!
After rolling around on the ground several times, Stellaris slammed her hand on the ground, lifting herself into the air and landing steadily on the ground.
"The Dragonblood Warrior truly lives up to her name; she only suffered such minor injuries." Seeing that Strylisa had been sent flying by his attack, yet was still able to deflect the force with her own power, he couldn't help but admire her strength.
But Strylisa doesn't think so.
She considered being blasted away by the lightning beast a disgrace, and angrily shouted, "You bastard, you're asking for death!"
Instantly, a large amount of bronze-colored qi enveloped the almost broken longsword in her hand. The qi, which seemed to be materializing, transformed the longsword into an indestructible giant sword, radiating a terrifying energy that would make even wild beasts tremble with fear!
"Are you getting angry out of embarrassment? You really have no manners of a strong person at all!" Watching Stellaris's bronze aura gradually intensify, the Thunder Beast couldn't help but sigh helplessly. Immediately afterward, jet-black lightning flashed across its body, appearing extremely eerie under the light of the rising sun.
"Roar~!!!!" With the flashes and roars of dark lightning, the sunlight emanating from the beast's eyes turned dark gray. Finally, with a terrifying roar, the dark lightning on the beast's body melted into the sinful fire on the greatsword of sin, turning the sinful fire into a terrifying, pitch-black flame.
The next moment, Thunder Beast and Strylisa acted simultaneously, stomping their feet on the ground and charging towards each other!
The greatsword of sin, burning with flames and crackling with lightning, clashed repeatedly with the bronze-colored greatsword of qi under the blazing sunlight. Flames, lightning, and qi sprayed out with each collision, leaving wounds on the beast and Strylisa. But they ignored these wounds and continued their frenzied hacking and slashing.
Strisley's swordsmanship was the elven sword dance that Thunder Beast had once seen Amani use. Every move was extremely tricky and unpredictable, making it impossible to defend against.
After all, the Thunder Beast's swordsmanship was only a smattering of the swordsmanship of the three families of Hylas, Hatu, and Vlad. Although it could fight against Strylisa by relying on the jet-black lightning and the sinful fire dyed black by the lightning, it would gradually be dragged into a disadvantageous position over time!
Therefore, it did not intend to give Strylisa the opportunity to completely suppress it. After another clash of swords, the Thunder Beast suddenly let out a terrifying roar and spewed out a terrifying blast of cold air from its gaping maw, which directly hit Strylisa, who was withdrawing her attack and preparing to continue.
Seeing this, Stellaris couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips into a smile. In her view, this was an opportunity, so she immediately swung her sharp blade, using her powerful internal energy to disperse the cold air spewed by the mad beast. In the instant the cold air was blown away by her internal energy, she lunged forward and attacked the mad beast.
Before the beast could react, Stellaris thrust her sword forward without a word, aiming straight for its heart.
In an instant, the giant sword formed from the bronze-colored aura surrounding the longsword pierced through the beast's body. But the next moment, Strisley's eyes widened in disbelief! The beast had vanished before her very eyes!
It turned out that the beast she had stabbed was merely an afterimage. She hadn't actually struck the beast; it had escaped.
"not good!"
A sudden gust of wind swept in from behind. Strisley knew something was wrong and quickly spun around, unleashing a sweeping attack to block the potential assault. Unfortunately, her plan backfired. The beast didn't attack at all; instead, it appeared behind her once more.
Six cold, deep blue eyes stared at her from behind, a chill creeping up her spine and startling her.
She hurriedly turned around, brandishing her greatsword of qi, trying to attack first before the mad beast could strike. Unfortunately, a surge of soul qi was unleashed by the mad beast and struck her directly.
Although her aura as a dragon-blooded warrior is extremely sharp and capable of cutting through the torrent of souls, the torrent of souls is inexhaustible! It cannot be dispersed simply by cutting it.
The soul torrent, a pillar of soul energy, struck Strylisa's bronze-colored aura greatsword with ferocity. After a few breaths of stalemate, the soul torrent shattered the aura of the aura greatsword, crushing the sword, which was enveloped in aura, into dust, and sending Strylisa flying, crashing into the wall inside the fortress.
While being pinned against the wall by the torrent of souls, and only able to use her inner energy to counteract its energy to avoid being severely injured, Strylisa saw Aragosana, a sixth-tier magic spirit specializing in ice magic, being relentlessly defeated by the Thunder Beast wielding the Greatsword of Sin.
The flames on the Greatsword of Sin are extremely evil flames of sin, which are inherently effective against Aragosa's ice magic. Furthermore, the flames have been infused with the dark lightning of the god Roya by the Thunder Beast, making them even more effective against Aragosa.
"Intentionally using the wrong opponents to make us underestimate them, then swiftly switching positions to catch us off guard? Interesting!" As the protective energy was gradually neutralized, Strisley's body was injured by the torrent of soul energy, but quickly, she and Aragosana shouted in unison, unleashing extremely strong protective energy and ice magic, repelling the two berserk beasts! 8
Chapter Sixty-Seven - Moonlight and the Deep Queen
"Looks like we need to be careful. These two elves are top-tier sixth-tier experts, not easy to deal with." The giant paw patted the arm holding the Greatsword of Sin, brushing off the thin layer of ice clinging to its fur, and then the Thunder Beast spoke to another beast not far away.
Seizing the moment the berserker spoke, Aragosa unleashed hundreds of frost swords, raining them down on the lightning berserker like a storm of arrows.
But at that moment, another mad beast suddenly slammed its fist on the ground, and a large area of crystals appeared on the ground, spreading wildly in all directions, forming a crystal wall not far from the lightning, to prevent the ice sword from hitting its side.
The Thunder Beast, of course, wouldn't just stand there obediently and get riddled with icy arrows. It whispered, "Divine Speed," and transformed into a blur, hurtling towards Aragosana at an unimaginable speed. With the dark lightning emanating from its body, it seemed as if it were the lightning itself!
The thunderous roar was deafening. In the blink of an eye, the Thunder Beast passed through the rain of icy swords and arrived in front of Aragosana. With a heavy sweeping blow, it slashed at Aragosana with its greatsword, which was burning with the sinful fire blackened by the lightning of the god of Roya.
"BOOM!!!"
As the blade swung, it collided with the ice magic that Aragosana had barely managed to unleash from her hands. The powerful, chilling magic was gradually melted away by the burning flames of sin. However, the Greatsword of Sin also began to crack under the corrosive influence of the frigid magic. After a few breaths of stalemate, the Greatsword of Sin finally succumbed to the pressure and exploded with a deafening roar!
A torrent of flames erupted from the shattered greatsword, instantly engulfing Aragosa. Although the Thunder Beast had used its incredible speed to escape just before the explosion, the fragments of the broken sword, propelled by the shockwave, still struck it.
Gritting his teeth, he dug out the broken sword fragments deeply embedded in his shoulder. The Thunder Beast's blood instantly flowed from the wound, spilling onto the ground and burning fiercely.
Clutching his wound, the mad beast desperately used a miracle, employing Great Recovery to slightly heal himself, stopping the bleeding. This didn't completely heal the mad beast's injury; although the bleeding had stopped, the pain remained excruciating.
However, compared to Aragosana, the magical spirit enveloped in flames, the beast's injuries were several times lighter.
Burning under the flames of sin, Aragosana let out a terrible wail. Although her magic could protect her from being burned to death by the flames, the high temperature still made it impossible for her to escape from the torment.
After the flames of sin were extinguished by the power of the icy magic, Aragosana's originally elegant icy blue magical body was burned beyond recognition. Not only were her clothes burned to ashes, but she also suffered severe burns in many places, and large areas of charred marks appeared on her face!
