Flames erupted from around Shien, blasting away countless evil beings, engulfing them and burning them to ashes.
“I’ll help too!”
“Yeah! Let’s go!”
Oz and Maeve didn’t stand idly by. Instead, they rushed out from behind Shien and confronted the army of evil beings.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
Oz roared as usual, his fists like heavy meteorites, smashing any evil being that came into contact with them, scattering their flesh and blood, killing them instantly.
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”
Maeve transformed into a gust of wind, sweeping through the army of evil beings. Wherever she passed, claw strikes flashed, slicing the evil beings into pieces.
The two most powerful and skilled members of the beastmen priest group displayed their strength here, drawing away and blocking many evil beings.
As for Shien, he undoubtedly received the highest level of “treatment.”
“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”
The four Warfighters appeared around Shien as if teleporting, surrounding him. Magic power surged in their hands, forming magic chains that they lashed out at Shien.
“I’ve seen this trick before.”
Shien calmly drew the Holy Sword from his waist. A moment before the magic chains hit him, his figure vanished.
“Over there!”
Danas, carrying the small, black-robed figure, was stunned for a moment, then immediately noticed something and gave orders to the Warfighters.
The Warfighters immediately turned and unleashed lightning at an empty spot.
Shien’s figure reappeared right there.
“Found me?”
Shien raised an eyebrow and stood still, letting the lightning strike him.
“Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang…!”
Amidst the roaring sounds, bolts of lightning struck Shien one after another, but they didn’t even scorch his clothes, vanishing the moment they touched him.
“Is that… a resistance skill?”
Danas instantly saw through the trick, his eyes flickering slightly.
It had to be said that the leader of [Mirage] had good eyesight and was quite intelligent.
Shien noticed that he was constantly touching the small Warfighter, the magical lifeform created using Beatrice as a prototype, as if sensing something through her.
Shien immediately understood.
“Using the magical lifeform to sense the evil aura in the temple and confirm my location?”
This seemed to be the reason why he could see through [Instant Movement].
“Then I’ll deal with you first.”
Capture the thief first, capture the king. Since Danas was weak and also the leader, not taking him down and fighting the others instead would be foolish.
“Evolve!”
Shien immediately activated the [Limit Evolution] skill, letting magic power course through his body, greatly enhancing his abilities. Then, he created a gust of wind and charged towards Danas.
Danas didn’t panic at all.
“Warfighters!”
Under Danas’s calm command, the four Warfighters appeared before Shien as if out of nowhere.
“Boom!”
A roaring sound echoed.
This time, it was the Warfighters who unleashed a large-scale AOE attack, flames transforming into fire dragons that charged towards Shien.
Shien narrowed his eyes, feeling the intense heat, and once again charged forward without dodging or evading, rushing into the flames.
The flames immediately engulfed Shien.
However, Shien completely ignored the flames, as if he wasn’t being burned by intense fire but caressed by a spring breeze. He passed through the sea of fire at an astonishing speed, appearing before the four Warfighters.
“Hum!”
A trembling sound came from the Holy Sword in Shien’s hand.
The red light of [Demon Sword] covered the Holy Sword’s blade. With a swing of his hand, Shien slashed at the four Warfighters.
This slash wasn’t aimed at just one person, but at all four Warfighters at once, with the momentum of sweeping away an army.
The four Warfighters wanted to raise their barriers and defend with magic, but they seemed to recall how their defensive magic had been instantly broken by Shien’s [Demon Sword] earlier. They immediately scattered like ghosts in all directions.
“Boom!”
The powerful [Demon Sword] sliced through the air. Although it missed its target, it still created a gust of wind that blew away the scattered Warfighters.
The Warfighters crashed to the ground, rolling several times before getting up and using their high-speed movement skills again, appearing before Danas like ghosts.
“Not bad, you know how to learn from your mistakes.”
Shien wasn’t satisfied with this result. Curling his lip, he held the Holy Sword imbued with [Demon Sword] and walked towards Danas.
Looking at Shien slowly approaching, Danas didn’t feel relieved but instead felt immense pressure.
“I see. So, the strength that allowed you to subjugate the [Assassination Branch] isn’t just a rumor?”
Danas realized how troublesome Shien was.
However, troublesome as he was, Danas still didn’t think he would lose.
“I can’t hold back anymore either.”
Danas took out a book.
“Huh?”
Shien stopped and let out a surprised sound.
Because as soon as the book in Danas’s hand appeared, a surprising phenomenon occurred before Shien’s eyes.
