Bighorn Bull is in charge of leading, and I, Beria, am in charge of raising it.

As the teleportation portal opened and Mold and Gina stepped out side by side, the surrounding undead monsters automatically parted to the sides, making way for their lord. This ensured they could witness Belial's current predicament firsthand, and then immediately regroup to become their most loyal human shield.

Mold hoisted the giant axe onto his shoulder, his eyes, tempered by dark energy, looking down at the Silver Clan warrior before him, who was bent over from exhaustion, his training armor covered in energy ray burns, and who looked as if he might collapse at any moment. A smug smile slowly curved the corners of his mouth.

"Ha, Belial, you truly are an anomaly of the Land of Light. To be born into this weak race is a waste of your power. It's a pity you were too arrogant, daring to think you could take on our Gua Empire by yourself. Your death here today is entirely your own doing!"

Mold felt increasingly relieved as he spoke. The humiliation of being scared away by Belial's hundreds of mini plasma sparks had finally found an outlet.

He couldn't help but raise his giant axe, pointing it at Belial from afar. Dark energy surged and boiled on the axe blade, his tone filled with undisguised mockery and cruelty.

"But don't worry. Before long, I will kill all your most cherished clansmen one by one and send them to reunite with you."

Well, of course, that's all talk and that's all mockery...

Just thinking about how Belial had conjured hundreds of miniature plasma sparks out of thin air and calmly asked Mold, "Is that enough to blow us both to smithereens?"...

Mold instinctively chose to follow his heart and obediently stood on the outer edge of the encirclement, not giving Belial a chance to get close.

Unexpectedly, just when Mold and Gina thought that Belial was already at his limit and could no longer cause any trouble.

Gina, in particular, had already begun to imagine in her mind how powerful the boost to combat strength would be if she killed Belial and turned his remains into a puppet of the Gua Empire.

Even without his fighting spirit, the sheer power of his physical body alone is enough to make up for all the troops lost in this expedition to the Land of Light!

She even began to gleefully ponder whether, after successfully transforming Belial's remains into a spirit at her command, she should first send him back to the Land of Light to personally kill his most cherished daughter, thus avenging her brother. Or should she send him to hunt down the Great Horned Bull, who had caused too much trouble for the Gua Empire's offensive rhythm on the main battlefield?

But it just so happened at this moment...

Belial, whose energy was already running low and whose training armor was constantly emitting the "beep beep beep" of the color timer, suddenly raised his hand and covered his face after seeing the two appear.

"...Heh heh...Hehehehehe! Finally, you've fallen for it..."

A chilling laugh escaped from between Belial's fingers, which he covered his face, and echoed back and forth in the dark blue sea of ​​the dead.

There was no weariness, no despair in that laughter... not a single negative emotion that a warrior driven to the brink should show at this moment.

Only when one can no longer hold back, like a hunter finally waiting for his desired prey to willingly step into the trap, will he exude a sense of satisfaction and arrogance!

Then, Beria slowly wiped his hands over his head, straightening his back at the same time.

Then, in front of Gina and Mold, he casually reached out and, as if by magic, produced a palm-sized, azure energy cube.

It was the portable mini plasma spark that Mold was so wary of.

This gave Mold a real fright. He thought Beria was going to fight him to the death again, and instinctively his eyebrows twitched as he took a step back.

It wasn't until Gina's incredulous gaze that he belatedly realized that there was still a large army of undead blocking his way, and that even if Belial really threw out that strange energy cube, it wouldn't be able to harm him in the slightest.

Feeling extremely embarrassed, Mold finally regained his balance.

But he would soon regret that momentary sense of security he had gained...

Because at this moment, Belial, who had taken out the portable mini plasma spark, indeed did not throw it out as a disposable bomb...

Instead, it unleashed its true potential, frantically absorbing the massive amount of energy stored within!

In just one or two breaths, Belial, who had been completely exhausted, returned to his peak state!

The entire figure vanished completely, turning into particles of light at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When it reappeared, it had already activated the Ultra race's teleportation ability, bypassing the encirclement of the undead army, and appeared out of thin air behind Mold!

In the instant he raised his hand, he effortlessly condensed eight-part light wheels, gripping them tightly in his hand. At the same time, his eyes were filled with undisguised, insane killing intent as he looked directly at Mold and roared fiercely.

"Now you can forget about escaping! Die—!!!!!!!!!"

Chapter 37 Mold: This madman, is he really from the Land of Light?!

Belial's eight-part halo was blocked by a giant axe when it was only inches away from the back of Mold's neck.

Clearly, having already learned a painful lesson, Mold realized almost the instant Belial disappeared that he would be Belial's primary target!

Just when he was about to be beheaded, he quickly flipped his wrist and held the giant axe behind him, using it as a temporary shield!

The next second, when the eight-point light wheel collided with the axe blade, the sudden and powerful shockwave knocked both Mold and Belial back.

He looked down with lingering fear at the giant axe in his hand.

The crack on the axe blade, inflicted by Belial during their first encounter, expanded further during this head-on collision.

Dense, fine lines stretched from the axe blade all the way to the handle. The entire giant axe trembled slightly in his hand, emitting a low, mournful groan, clearly nearing its limit!

This made Mold finally realize what kind of monster he had provoked. He felt deep regret and remorse for not heeding his sister Gina's advice from the very beginning.

No, isn't your Land of Light a bit too sinister?

Shouldn't the normal battle flow be that I first overpower you, pushing you to the brink of defeat? Only then should you unleash your full power and stage a comeback, but ultimately still be no match for me, dying a bitter defeat at my hands?

Why is it that when we actually fight, I'm so hesitant and afraid to get close, making it seem like I'm the weaker one?

Wait... I mean... this isn't how you fight a real battle!

He roared those words in his mind several times, but outwardly he gritted his teeth and raised the giant axe again. The dark energy wrapped around the axe blade surged and boiled once more.

Despite the fact that the weapons were already nearing their limits, Belial's madness in constantly pulling out "backup hidden energy" made Mold deeply wary.

However, the pride of being the Grand Monarch of the Gua Legion would not allow Mold to retreat even a step in front of this madman.

However, just as Mold composed himself and instinctively glanced around, thinking Belial was about to charge at him again, what he saw next plunged his heart into despair once more!

Belial, who was also forced back by the shockwave, did not continue to pursue Mold relentlessly.

Instead, as if it had been planned in advance, it used this thrust to burst out with an extremely astonishing speed in a short period of time, heading straight for Gina, who was left alone in the same place after Mold was repelled!

Clearly, Belial seems blinded by personal grudges, single-mindedly focused on killing Mold...

But in reality, that was just an illusion deliberately created by Beria.

From beginning to end, Belial's real target was Gina, who should have been hiding behind the scenes controlling the army of the dead, preventing Belial from getting close!

If Gina is killed, the undead army that is currently invading the Land of Light will either be completely shut down or its strength will be greatly reduced!

The crisis facing the Land of Light will also be resolved without a fight as Gina falls!

This is the true meaning of a decapitation strike!

At the same time, Gina was terrified when she saw Belial suddenly rushing towards her.

She had just witnessed firsthand how this strange giant of light forced her brother to retreat!

Putting herself in his shoes, Gina, who already leaned towards the "necromancer" style, didn't think she could withstand Belial's aggressive, all-out attack style in a one-on-one situation!

Therefore, the moment Gina saw Belial charging towards her, she did not hesitate for a moment. She decisively chose to retreat at full speed and quickly controlled the surrounding undead army to surround her, attempting to re-form an encirclement to intercept Belial's pursuit.

But as soon as she gave the order, she discovered a fact that chilled her to the bone.

Before she and Mold, in order to prevent Belial's "Middle East style" tactics, she deliberately hid on the outskirts of the undead army.

That was a defensive formation they had personally arranged, with their most elite guards deployed in the inner layer, while they themselves were positioned in the safest remote command position.

However, once Belial used Instant Transmission to break free from the encirclement, this formation became her biggest weakness!

Now, it will take some time to rebuild the encirclement, or even just to drive over some of the undead monsters to act as Gina's meat shield.

Judging from Belial's extreme style...

Gina had every reason to believe that in that short time, he would hold her tightly, pull out his "backup hidden energy," and explode with her!

Although she, like her brothers, possessed an immortal body capable of reincarnation, it didn't mean she wasn't afraid of death! Nor did she want to die in such a humiliating way, at the hands of a madman!

So much so that Gina, whose survival instinct was at its peak, swung her bat-wielding whip wildly while crying out for help in a state of panic.

"Brother! Help me—!"

At the same time, as Gina swung the whip with all her might, it drew a strange arc and headed straight for Belial's face.

Of course, given Belial's previous performance, she didn't expect this whip to defeat Belial.

But in her view, as long as Belial chooses to dodge, it will create a brief opening in his attack.

This buffer time is enough for Mold to arrive in time to provide assistance.

When the time comes, the brother and sister can join forces and may be able to hold out until the undead army returns to defend!

But she clearly underestimated Beria's determination and will.

Faced with the oncoming long whip, Belial did not slow his charge; instead, he simply raised his left arm to meet it head-on.

The next second, although the long whip ripped through Belial's training armor and left a conspicuous wound on his arm as sparks flew.

Instead of stopping his charge, Beria swung his left arm and tightly wrapped the whip around his hand.

Then, he brought his five fingers together and, just as Gina realized something was wrong and instinctively tried to pull back the bat whip, he firmly grasped it in his palm like an iron clamp!

In that instant, the dark blue runes on the whip burned wildly in Belial's palm, the barbs digging deep into his flesh, and light particles and dark energy tore at each other at extremely close range, producing a piercing sizzling sound.

Even so, Belial's actions were not only unaffected, but he even took the initiative and unleashed terrifying strength, forcibly dragging Gina, whip and all, toward him!

"caught you……"

"What...! No... no...!"

"Since your brother almost killed my daughter, then you should atone for his sins and come with me on this journey! I want him to taste what it feels like to lose a loved one in front of his eyes!"

"Wait a minute, let's talk this out, you... Ah! Brother—!!!"

Even so, Belial's actions were not only unaffected, but he even took the initiative, unleashing terrifying strength with a sinister villainous smile. Amidst Gina's terrified screams, he forcibly dragged Gina, whip and all, towards himself!

At that moment, the other hand, which was free, was also raised, conjuring up a large number of portable miniature plasma sparks out of thin air.

He showed no mercy whatsoever; all he had was a chilling killing intent to kill Gina!

"Backup hidden energy, activate...!"

"Shh-!"

But just as Gina was about to be dragged away by Belial and die tragically alongside him in the flames of the plasma spark mass explosion.

A massive axe, nearing its limit, slashed in from the side, swiftly severing Gina's whip! This caused Gina, who had been panicked and knew she was no match for Belial in strength, to instinctively grip her weapon tightly, allowing her to stagger backward and break free from Belial's control!

Even after severing the long whip, the giant axe cleverly changed direction and charged towards Belial, emitting sharp and piercing wailing sounds of vengeful spirits, before exploding on the spot!

That was the manifestation of the soul fragments of enemies that Mold had personally slain over countless years of battles, all being released at once!

This caused Belial, who had instinctively wanted to chase after Gina and continue the explosion after seeing her escape, to let out a cold snort of displeasure. He had no choice but to temporarily avoid the blast, retreating repeatedly to escape the blast radius. During this process, he didn't forget to put away all the portable mini plasma sparks he had taken out, to avoid being caught in the blast wave and prematurely triggering them, which would needlessly cost Belial his life.

He was injured after all, and his cultivation armor had been almost completely destroyed when he was besieged by the undead army.

Without absolute certainty, Belial dared not act like Ken, recklessly charging forward regardless of the enemy's attacks!

Once Belial regained his footing and looked in the direction from which the attack had come, he saw, as expected, Mold, his hands empty and his chest heaving violently with fear.

Clearly, seeing his sister in mortal danger and knowing he wouldn't be able to catch up in time, Mold panicked and immediately abandoned the weapon that had been with him for countless years, throwing it with all his might.

This is how Gina, who should have died there, was saved at the cost of her weapon exploding!

But he didn't care about the loss of his weapon; almost the instant he threw it, he rushed desperately to Gina's side.

Now, he is protecting Gina tightly behind him, staring intently at Belial's every move, his eyes filled with fear and an unacknowledged panic.

Even faintly, he felt a pang of regret for what he had done when he descended upon the Land of Light…

If he had known beforehand that messing with Lyme would result in such a terrifying pursuit and retaliation...

Let alone forcibly controlling the lime...

Mold is probably going to treat Lyme like a god!

He'll get really angry if anyone dares to hurt Lyme!

Because if there's even the slightest chance, this vengeful madman in front of you is truly willing to fight to the death!

What do you mean by saying that because I hurt your daughter, I should also experience the pain of losing a loved one?

This kind of extreme madness—is this the kind of guy who should exist in a peace-loving, universally righteous Land of Light?!

How come you seem even more extreme and irritable than us, the Indian siblings?!

Who among good people would drag their enemy down with them in a fight?

Doesn't anyone in your Land of Light do anything about him?!

Chapter 38 The Fusion of the Great Demon Emperor Gua

Of course, thanks to Mold's decisive and resolute act of detonating his weapon, he not only successfully rescued Gina but also bought precious time to catch his breath. This allowed a group of the previously distant undead monsters to finally return and stand between the two and Belial, acting as a barrier and human shield to block Belial's path.
