Although Anze's attack was reckless, Membeli knew that this world-saving hero had something to rely on. Anze's "Divine War Form" combined with the church's holy flames, was known for its extraordinary vitality. Even if he died, he could be reborn from the flames.
Killing him three or four times was required to completely eliminate this heavenly apostle.
Anze was a true tank.
And yet, now?
This tank was effortlessly defeated by the black-haired girl? And didn't even trigger his 'revival'? Just like that... he's gone? A once-in-a-generation genius, just like that... gone?
"This... has to be a joke!"
Membeli couldn't help but let out a roar of anger, as he rapidly expanded his magical aura, attempting to locate Anze through sensing.
Alas,
after a quick search, Membeli came up empty-handed.
There was no trace of Anze on the vast icy plains.
Realizing that his companion of many years was gone forever, an indescribable sadness rapidly spread within Membeli's heart, causing the great dragon to let out a wail.
However,
as a top-tier powerhouse, the Sacred Dragon King quickly suppressed his inner grief. He knew very well that now was not the time to mourn for his companion.
The next moment,
under Membeli and Heretia's intense gaze, the swarm of blood butterflies, having completely consumed Anze, suddenly changed their target. They aggressively assaulted them—the ones with the strongest magical presence in the vicinity.
Faced with the blood-red butterflies screaming in from all directions, Membeli felt an unprecedented tremor. This feeling was even more intense than when facing the Demon King empowered by the Force of Shadow.
At the same time,
as he stared intently at the black-haired girl in the distance, a strong sense of danger suddenly overwhelmed Membeli.
"This monster... is extremely dangerous."
The power of the Shadow within her vastly exceeded his own expectations.
If this young girl leaves the Northern Territory and enters the human world,
this power will surely corrupt the entire world.
Then, all creatures would turn into bloodthirsty monsters. The whole continent would become a living hell. Without a doubt, in Membeli's mind, the threat posed by this black-haired girl has already surpassed that of the ambitious Demon King.
Additionally,
After the two of them released their powers, Membeli could clearly sense the loathing and killing intent within the young girl's crimson eyes...
Obviously, the records from ancient texts were not unfounded. Beings with the power of darkness truly harbored extreme hatred for other creatures. A demon with such horrifying strength, coupled with an endless enmity towards the living beings t, was indeed an unprecedented threat!
If she were to leave the northern territory, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Realizing this, Membeli, as a guardian of continental order and known as the Sacred Dragon King, looked more determined than ever. His immense magical power and dragon aura burst forth, pushing back the suffocating Shadow force around him.
Since the young girl ahead was so dangerous,
For the sake of the living beings and this world, even if they were down to just two people, they had to defeat this Demon.
Besides,
Surrounded by the swarm of bloody butterflies, they had no way to retreat.
A fight with their backs against the wall was their only option.
After giving a glance to signal the blue-haired female mage not far away, Membeli abruptly accelerated his charging power. Just as the swarm of butterflies was about to engulf him, a dragon breath, packed with destructive force, was suddenly unleashed from the Dragon King's mouth,
Several dazzling golden light beams tore through the atmosphere, bombarding the ocean formed by the bloody butterflies with immense force.
*Boom!!!*
A ground-shaking roar followed, and a golden fire mushroom cloud erupted in the sky. The intense heat shattered and vaporized the surrounding ice. In an instant, the once endless icy field was gone.
The entire northern world was enveloped in this dazzling golden light at that moment,
The Sacred Dragon King,
True to his reputation as one of the strongest beings on the continent, had generated such a devastating destructive power with a brief charge. Even the threatening sea of bloody butterflies, capable of engulfing everything, was shattered under the powerful bombardment of the Dragon King's fire breath.
The threat that could have swallowed the Dragon King was gone.
After witnessing this, the black-haired young girl also seemed somewhat surprised and mechanically tilted her head a bit.
And at that instant when the young girl was 'distracted,'
The Sacred Dragon King, with his extraordinary combat experience, immediately seized the opportunity and swiftly unfurled his dragon wings. After absorbing the magical energy contained within the heavens and earth, he released another golden dragon breath fire, bursting forth like a roaring beast, and charged towards the black-haired young girl not far away.
At the same time,
Heretia, who received Dragon King's signal, appeared above the black-haired young girl using a teleportation spell. The blue-haired mage with fully killing intent in her eyes, and as she quickly chanted, six magical circles of different colors and elements rapidly sketched out in the sky.
As Heretia waved her magical circle,
An endless barrage of magical elemental beams rained down on the black-haired girl like a storm.
Faced with this enemy who had killed her companion,
The two unmatched Cultivator immediately unleashed their full power. Years of teamwork made Membeli and Heretia's coordination almost telepathic. Even in the wake of Anze's tragic death, they could quickly organize a powerful counterattack.
Their inner rage and sorrow were fully channeled into their attacks.
In the next instant,
The dragon breath cannon and countless magical elemental bullets shattered the defense of the blood-red butterflies, striking the black-haired young girl's body fiercely.
These two devastating forces even reacted with each other.
Merging, concentrating, and exploding...
"Boom!"
Accompanied by an earth-shattering sound, the dazzling light of death swallowed the black-haired girl whole. Everything around her, including the endless sea of red butterflies, was instantly obliterated by the blast.
The terrifying aftershocks changed the landscape of the northern ice plains and were even sensed by the Holy Woman in the distant Divine Hall.
As for Membeli and Heretia, who were closest to the center of the explosion, they were also struck by the aftershocks and sent flying thousands of meters away, spitting out blood...
Clearly,
Both unparalleled warriors had sustained considerable injuries after that attack.
However,
They had no time to worry about their condition. After stabilizing their bodies in the storm created by the explosion, both immediately focused on the center of the blast, trying to assess the condition of the 'Demon King's subordinate.'
Yet,
As the dust and dim golden light dissipated,
The sight that met their eyes caused their expressions to change dramatically. In Membeli's opinion, even if their joint attack couldn't win outright, it should have at least dealt significant damage and depleted the enemy's combat power...
However,
Upon seeing the scene ahead, Membeli realized,
He had been far too optimistic.
To say they had heavily wounded the enemy would be an overstatement.
Their formidable and terrifying attack had not even scratched the enemy...
"This... This can't be?! This is absolutely impossible!!"
An extremely shocked and bewildered Dragon King uncontrollably let out a roar.
At this moment,
At the center of the explosion,
The ice cliffs and glaciers had already vanished. However, a vast sea of thorny vines had appeared, enveloping the black-haired young girl who was the target of the attack. Judging from the extensive burn marks on these thorny vines, it was clear they had absorbed the full force of Membeli and Heretia's combined attack...
The next instant,
As the two strong warriors looked on in disbelief and doubt,
Countless thorny vines emitting a bluish eerie light gradually gathered beside the black-haired young girl. They twisted and intertwined, and eventually, under the embrace of a mysterious bluish power, turned into a human-sized, blood-red bud.
As the bud slowly opened, a youthful voice, filled with respect, gently emanated:
"Mommy, Can I kill them?"
