Otherwise, you can find another savior.

There will come a time when Star Lungs cannot keep up with the speed of injury.

The ground shook.

The thick snow was suddenly broken through, and two slender ice dragons emerged. Shiomi stood on the ground between them. He looked at Reinek from a distance with his chin slightly raised.

The ice dragon chased Reinek and attacked him.

No retreat.

Reinek spread his hands and rushed forward fearlessly, dodging the ice dragon's claws and tail sweeps with nimble and swift movements. The magic power in his arms began to accumulate, and beams of light were emitted one after another, piercing through the ice dragon's body.

However, even so, the ice dragons cannot be stopped. Their bodies are made of ice and are creations of magic. Unless the creator is killed, the ice dragons will not disappear and their pierced bodies will be repaired.

So, after all, the sage must be killed.

Reinek swung his claws to both sides, and the magic power that broke through the air turned into huge claw marks, engraved on the bodies of the two ice dragons.

The giant dragon, which was ten times larger than his body, lost its balance in the impact and rolled to the side.

Now is the chance!

Reinek launched another long-range attack on Shiomi, gradually closing the distance.

Let’s use this method to find out whether it is true or not this time.

"Don't try. I don't have the time to keep creating a double here."

When Reinek came closer, Shiomi suddenly said.

Regardless of whether it was real or fake, the distance was sufficient. If it was a fake, he would destroy it and distance himself from it to avoid another explosion like that. This was Reinecke's decision.

He swung his claws from bottom to top towards the vital point, but suddenly stopped.

It wasn't that Reinek had given up, it was that the arm couldn't go on.

Shiomi raised his hand to block the blow, and in turn, he grabbed the opponent, easily grabbed Reinek and threw him out.

Reinek flipped in the air to avoid the ice dragons' pincer attack, used one of the dragons' body as a foothold, turned over, stepped on it, and then rushed towards Shiomi again.

This time, the pair of sharp claws swung tightly and tightly, and the magic of the claw marks laid a net of heaven and earth. Even if it was Yaling with the same strength, Reinek was confident that he could tear it apart.

But he still forgot how fast Shiomi was.

Even though Yaling's eyes couldn't capture it clearly, she still accidentally overlooked his excellent physical abilities because of this series of magic.

"Hurricane blizzard."

After avoiding these attacks, Xijian waved his sleeves, and the wind and snow suddenly swept in. The cold wind and ice spikes tore at Reinek's body like sharp blades.

The attack at a critical moment made Reinek unable to move for a moment, and the two ice dragons that had not dissipated stepped down together.

Once again, a roar shook the heavens and the earth.

Silence fell within the inherent barrier.

Shiomi stood on the hillside and looked at the scene.

This was the first time he used the inherent barrier in actual combat since its completion.

Perhaps he was too eager to try out just how far the inherent barrier could go, and before he knew it, his fighting style had become like a complete magician.

"Ouch——!!!"

A sharp wolf howl pierced the sky.

The purple magic power cut through the ice and snow like a sharp blade and exploded from below. Most of the Frost Dragon's body was shattered, and its movements became sluggish.

The Fang Clan is originally a group of fairies in the form of orcs.

Reinek, the clan leader, is a white wolf.

Forced into a desperate situation, Reinecke no longer conserved his strength, but instead used his last trump card.

In his hand, a magic ball the size of Reinek's fist was accumulated and compressed.

Sensing this fluctuation of magical power, Shiomi's expression finally showed some movement.

That magical power was undoubtedly on a scale comparable to a Noble Phantasm.

It's probably even got a launch speed comparable to Reinecke's own.

It would be fine to dodge with all your strength, but it would be a lack of respect for the battle.

So--

Xijian stretched out his left hand and grasped it in the air, and an icy longbow slowly took shape.

“It begins where my hands are and ends where my eyes are.”

A slender arrow, also made of ice, was placed on the bow.

The bowstring is fully drawn.

Reinecke suddenly unleashed the magic bullets he had accumulated.

Shiomi's ice arrows were also fired at the same time.

"'White Night - Ice Flower'."

The magic bullets and arrows crossed the field and made contact.

The arrow, which looked fragile, was not shattered by the magic bullet that gradually lost its compression and expanded. Instead, it pierced the magic bullet with an indomitable force, tearing apart the surging yet regular magic power.

The magic bullet instantly became unstable.

When the arrow pierced through the magic bullet and pierced Reinek's chest, the magic bullet emitted a series of chaotic explosions.

"This... degree..."

Reinecke's heart was pierced, a fatal wound, but he refused to admit defeat.

As long as the Star Lung is still there, even the heart can regenerate.

"To what extent?" Xi Jian landed in front of him.

Reinek suddenly vomited blood.

"Star Lungs... Star Lungs actually..."

"The last time I killed Fang Arin, I already understood the mechanism of the Star Lungs very well." Shiomi pointed a finger at Reinecke's head, "So I know exactly how to temporarily destroy the function of the Star Lungs. Do you want to continue?"

His inherent barrier originally had a conceptual suppressive force on fairies, and coupled with his own strength, the moment Reinek was dragged into the inherent barrier, he had already lost.

Reinecke, no longer able to answer, felt his lungs frozen and breathing became extremely difficult.

He is alive only because he has not been destroyed.

There is a bright light within the inherent barrier.

When his vision returned, the field where the Fang Fairies gathered appeared before his eyes.

"...As expected of you, Sage-sama. I am the loser."

Reinek crawled to the ground.

Because I was unable to get up for a moment.

It was also because he was convinced by the overwhelming power of Shiomi in front of him.

Chapter 57: War Comes

To the rest of the fairies of the Fang Clan, they only saw a sudden burst of light on the battlefield, and then Shiomi and clan leader Reinek disappeared from the battlefield.

Seeing that the clan leader was missing, they immediately fell into a state of disarray. The other fang fairies who were powerful but not as powerful as Fan Yaling began to make moves.

One of them even brought the goblins closer to the hillside, intending to attack Ash and the others who stayed there, kill these outsiders, and show that he could succeed Reinek as the clan leader and lead the clan's power.

Of course, this behavior also suffered under Ash's magic, making the other watching Fang Fairies dare not get any closer.

"They are really a bunch of fighting maniacs." Tetrot said angrily, and she was also ready for battle.

Protected by Ash, Bawan Hope turned to the battlefield: "Witch-sama? The Sage-sama is missing. Is everything alright?"

"Don't worry, this is all his magic."

After answering Bawan Xi with a smile, Jian calmed down, stepped forward, raised his wand and pointed it at the sky.

The sky suddenly became overcast.

"Listen up! Fairies of the Fang Clan! Right now, your clan leader is engaged in a sacred battle with the sage! If any fairy acts rashly and tarnishes the meaning of this battle, I will show no mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, lightning and thunder appeared.

Ash knew that she couldn't bring herself to kill the goblin, but the Fang Clan didn't know this. Under the deterrence she showed, they would only remain on the sidelines and would not act rashly.

Dark clouds hung low and a strong wind swept across the fields.

This confrontation did not last long. When the battlefield was once again covered by a burst of light, Shiomi and Reinek returned to the battlefield.

Shiomi stood.

Reinek lay prone on the ground, an ice arrow piercing his chest and penetrating his back.

The clan goblins all knew that the leader of the Fang Clan was still alive, but what surprised them even more was that Reinek, who possessed unrivaled power within the clan, was defeated so miserably.

"...As expected of you, Sage-sama. I am the loser."

When Reinecke uttered the words admitting defeat, silence fell all around.

Even though the goblins of the Fang Clan wanted to question the result, they did not have the courage to step forward and challenge.

"Then according to our previous agreement, from now on, all members of the Fang Clan will obey me."

Shiomi slowly raised her arms.

The only damage he received in this battle was the torn sleeve fluttering in the wind.

"If there are any fairies who are dissatisfied, or who question the outcome of this battle, please stand up and use your strength to overturn this result!"

He swung his hand forward heavily, like a sharp blade, hanging in the air.

The fang fairies in the direction pointed by Shiomi involuntarily scattered to both sides to avoid being hit.

When his hands moved around, the remaining goblins became obedient and no longer dared to commit any evil deeds.

The Ya Clan believes that "strength is justice." At this moment, Shiomi, who possesses even greater power than the clan's ancestor, Azuki, becomes the only "right" in this place.

"Very good. No matter whether you think so in your heart or not, at least your actions are in place." Xijian put down his hand indifferently.

The ice arrow melted, and Reinek stood up, holding his chest, and knelt on one knee on the ground.

"The leader of the Fang Clan, Reinek, will lead the entire clan to obey the sage's command."

His voice was a mixture of admiration and frustration.

Because the loss was so complete.

The other party knew very well how to fight Yaling, but he did not know how to fight a powerful human.

"There are results now. I thought it would take a long time."

As they were talking, Jian and the others walked down the hillside.

"It's not that easy." Xijian smiled faintly.

Arriving beside Shiomi, Ash glanced at Reinek, who was kneeling there. "So, will the Fang Clan also join the fight against the northern goblins?"

"That's the plan." Shiomi turned around. "Reinek, right? Immediately gather all the warriors of the Fang Clan, and then divide them into a main force and a secondary force in a ratio of two to eight. You lead the main force west to the northern plains to join the armies of the other clans, while the secondary force will enter the mountains through the wilderness west of the Great Hollow."

Reinek's injuries gradually recovered and his voice finally regained some strength.

"Why did the wise master make such an arrangement? The northern elves are about to start a war, and our Fang Clan should mobilize all its members—"

"Of course, it's to prevent the northern goblins from splitting up and trying to find a retreat through the difficult mountain roads," Shiomi said. "Don't think retreating can only be done in the wilderness. The more difficult the terrain, the more unexpected it is."

"Yes." Reinek didn't ask any more questions.

"Then, tomorrow morning, you will immediately—"

Xijian calculated the time and knew there was no time to waste.

Moreover, the Ya Clan came out to "welcome" them today, with almost all its members mobilizing, which meant that they had been prepared for war for a long time.

He was about to designate the time of departure when a crow's cry came from the sky.

The Fang Fairies looked up.
