A giant humanoid creature stood proud in the chaotic battlefield. Like all creatures here, it too had a blue crystal on its back.
Even though there were hundreds of thousands of rank 9 beasts rushing towards the location at an insane speed, this monster showed a supremely confident expression.
The look in its eyes told them that the monster had taken this as a challenge.
'I will kill you before my minions can.'
'Holy Squad, charge!'
No one said those words. After all, speaking was banned. But the way they raised their weapons at once and acted together gave that feeling.
The hammer weilding old man leaped into the air, the heavy weapon in his hand spinning to the point it created after images. Even before he landed, the ground under the giant began to crack.
The old witch raised her staff and the land under the giant began to melt and form lava.
The final member used his magic to twist the space in front of them, creating a passage to another location, sufficiently away from this monster.
While the set of actions might've required a lot of thinking usually, it happened in the blink of an eye.
Boom!
The giant's fist clashed with the hammer and a destructive shockwave swept the surroundings. The lava surrounding the creature jumped at the opportune time.
The giant's left hand bent in an awkward position, rendered useless for battle with that single attack.
On the other hand, the hammer wielding warrior was blasted into the horde. Before he could even fight back, dozens and dozens of hungry beasts jumped at him, tearing him apart.
Szz!
The smell of flesh burning filled the air and the sound of meat being drilled sounded next.
Kaa!
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm The ground under their feet cracked and the five members stumbled. A blue light shone from the lava and a laser beam was fired at a speed nearly impossible to dodge.
The old witch, a proud warrior with decades upon decades of experience, disappeared like she was erased out of a painting.
Kaa! Kaa! Kaa!
Like an earthquake had hit the land, the ground began to tremble violently. With heavy footsteps, the giant emerged out of the lava, with an arm completely melted off to the point only its white bone was visible.
With one hand crippled and other burned, it should've been harmless.
Yet—
'Go! Go!'
The space wizard gestured to Isadora desperately as he poured his power to keep the space channel active.
The giant seemed to have noticed this and smirked.
As Isadora and Varian hurried to the passage,the blue crystal on the creature's back shone and a laser blasted the space passage.
Boom!
The space wizard collapsed onto his knees, coughing blood and bits of flesh. But he kept pouring his mana into the space passage and stared at Isadora with a determined gaze.
Isadora grabbed Varian's hand and enveloped herself in a sphere of darkness before jumping in.
Boom!
As they exited the space passage and were about to pass through the translucent barrier, a blue light arrived from the same passage they took and was about to strike Varian.
The princess' eyes widened and she instinctively pulled him behind her.
The wall of darkness she put up at the last moment broke like a piece of glass and Isadora crashed to the ground and rolled powerlessly.
Without giving her any room to recover, a dozen rank 9 creatures that were nearby jumped at Isadora.
Twelve thin red threads appeared in front of the beasts.
The creatures tore the sharp and taut threads with ease before racing to Isadora. They disregarded the thin line of skin that was cut by by the threads.
That was their undoing.
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Like birds falling dead from trees, the creatures collapsed powerlessly before they could reach Isadora.
The pure energy of death injected into them through the threads made it through their entire bodies including their head.
They should've sensed it. But Varian's other powers—the power of soul tricked the creature's senses, delaying down its perception while the powers of time slowed the transmission of information when it eventually happened.
It was a clever trick.
One that decimated the creatures.
Passing through the twelve corpses, Varian picked up the injured Isadora in his arms and walked through the barrier.
As he disappeared, a few dozen creatures eagerly attacked the barrier to reach them and failed.
"Varian…" Isadora's sleepy voice caused him to look down at her exhausted face. "…is a greedy bastard."
"Looks like you got your memory back," Varian shook his head and injected vitality into her body.
Isadora quickly recovered and opened her eyes. Looking around in confusion, she said to him. "Where the hell are we…
wait, wait, what happened to my memories?"
She looked like she'd just woken up with a bad hang over and couldn't remember what she blabbered last night.
In response, Varian crossed his arms. "Stop acting already. You risked your life to save me from the laser beam. You already got your memories back after entering this place."
"I really can't…re…ugh, whatever!" The princess snorted and turned to examine the world.
Grains of sand were slowly rising into the air and were drawn to the black tornado into the center of this place.
The fluctuations of aura from it were scary enough that even though all she sensed was fragments, a chill shot down her spine.
'Pseudo Divine! The devil is definitely a pseudo divine!'
"Maybe we'll have a chance if we cooperate with the other two royals." Varian pointed to the auras that were fast approaching their location from two different directions.
"Varian."
"Yes?"
"If both of us got restrictions, those two wouldn't have been spared either." Isadora said.
Boom!
A young man landed in front of them, the crimson power of death overflowing from all his pores.
"We finally meet." He looked at Isadora with a burning desire. "You can fulfill your life's purpose now."
A suffocatingly powerful aura locked onto her.
"My divine vessel, Isadora."
