"Buzz————!"
Under the trembling of the entire space, an unprecedentedly intense explosion erupted, and it felt as if a star had exploded in mid-air, setting off a terrifying storm of wind and fire, expanding in a spherical pattern incessantly.
At a somewhat distant place from the center of the battlefield, Denizens and Rinnen of the "Bal Masqué" watched this scene. Their faces were completely frozen, and cold sweat simultaneously dripped down their foreheads. It could be imagined how shocked they were.
As for Seireiden, it seemed as if it had encountered a strong earthquake. It trembled frequently, making this airborne fortress appear precarious, welcoming a storm-like shockwave.
In an instant, buildings swayed as if they were about to collapse. Glass shattered, turning into fragments.
The scene was exceptionally horrifying.
However, amidst such an explosion, a blade light suddenly burst forth.
"Qiang————!"
In the melodious singing of the sword, the chilly blade light directly swept through the entire explosion, cleanly cutting the terrifying storm and firelight into two halves simultaneously.
Including the chains that were entwined together, forming a sturdy cage, they were similarly cleanly cut.
"Impossible!" Bel Peol exclaimed.
Not only Bel Peol but even Hecate, who usually had an expressionless face, showed a slight change in expression, which showed that she was clearly very surprised.
This was naturally expected.
Bel Peol's chains were a Treasure Tool specially crafted by the leader they served. Unless Bel Peol actively triggered it, even Sydonay couldn't cut through these chains.
Moreover, Bel Peol's chains were a Treasure Tool with significant defensive capabilities.
Within Trinity, Sydonay, recognized as the general, was adept at solo attacks, Hecate, acknowledged as the Great Priestess, excelled in guerrilla warfare, and Bel Peol, designated as the strategist, specialized in counterattacks. She belonged to the type that struck after the opponent attacked.
In counterattacks, the defense played a crucial role.
Therefore, as long as Bel Peol focused on defense, almost no one could break through her chain's defense.
Yet now, it had been cut.
By an ordinary-looking dagger.
"No! Something's wrong!"
Bel Peol recalled the ice-blue Mystic Eyes that made people tremble and finally realized.
"What truly cut through my Treasure Tool wasn't that dagger but that pair of eyes!"
This statement immediately received a response.
"It's not just a cut; it's a kill."
When this voice reached Bel Peol's ears, her heart skipped a beat.
Without any hesitation, Bel Peol violently swung the chain in her hand. The chain soared once again, dancing around her with a "hua la la" sound, forming a defensive barrier around her.
However, faced with the robust defense net, Fang Li, who appeared behind Bel Peol at an unknown time, only stared up with his ice-blue eyes. In his hand, the sharp dagger descended.
"Pa————!"
In the crisp sound, the chain, dancing heavily, was like fragile paper, being cut off by the descending dagger.
Next, Fang Li only needed to follow up with another strike, and Bel Peol would be finished.
And this period of time would definitely not be too long.
Although Fang Li had just swung a blade, even if his attack speed was astonishing, there would still be a moment of stiffness. This would give Bel Peol an opportunity. However, Fang Li's arsenal wasn't limited to just one Moon Blade.
The shrunken Bo Xie, taking on the appearance of a dagger, had long been tightly gripped in the other hand.
"Qiang————!"
The blade light illuminated.
The pure white dagger suddenly slashed down, cleaving through the air at an astonishing speed, traversing the entire space and landing on Bel Peol's body.
"Pū Chī————!"
The sound of the sharp blade piercing through the body echoed clearly all around.
Bel Peol's body was directly cut in half by the descending blade.
"Aaaahhhhhhh..."
From the outskirts of the distant battlefield, exclamations from the Denizens and Rinnen belonging to the "Bal Masqué" faintly reached.
Conversely, Fang Li furrowed his brows tightly, sensing that something was amiss.
"Zheng————!"
The next moment, the Bel Peol, who had been cut in half by Fang Li, emitted a dazzling golden light all over her body. She began to disintegrate, turning into a chain link that constituted a lock, as if it were this link that had been neatly cut by the blade, falling down.
It turned out to be a decoy.
"Hua la la————!"
At this moment, the sound of the chain resonated once again.
Fang Li turned his gaze and looked ahead.
There, chains coiled around, accompanied by a brilliant golden flame burning. Bel Peol slowly appeared in the fire, her complexion solemn as she met Fang Li's gaze.
"What's going on? Why did this human suddenly become so powerful?"
Bel Peol had only this question in her mind.
"Previously, this human didn't have this level of strength at all."
If the opponent was really this strong, capable of single-handedly suppressing Trinity, there was no need to cause so much trouble in Seireiden. They could have escaped a long time ago.
"General said that it's the opponent's hidden trump card. Since its power is deliberately concealed, it must have some degree of limitation, just like our Trinity's Treasure Tool."
It had to be said that Bel Peol truly lived up to her title as a strategist; she immediately grasped most of the mysteries.
"Regardless, he is exceptionally powerful now, and he possesses some frightening ability that is undefendable. We cannot be careless."
Bel Peol raised her voice, addressing those around her.
"Attack together!"
As soon as her words fell, two auras moved.
"Aster!"
Hecate raised Trigon, gathering the sky-blue flames in front of the staff, turning them into a dazzling meteor shower. Friction with the air, it violently shot towards Fang Li.
"Hah!"
Simultaneously, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind Fang Li, lifting a heavy steel spear. Amidst the vigorous movements, turbid purple flames roared to life. Under Sydonay's low roar, they transformed into a flame tornado, sweeping towards the front.
Bel Peol showed no weakness; the chains danced wildly around her, burning with golden flames. Like venomous snakes, carrying the golden flame, they suddenly leaped towards Fang Li.
Three attacks appeared simultaneously, converging in a triangular formation toward Fang Li. Each attack contained infinite power, capable of shaking not only the human body but the entire earth.
In response, Fang Li only raised the pure white dagger.
"Buzz————!"
During the tremor, the dagger suddenly surged, transforming in an instant into a giant sword. With a swing, it slashed all around.
The blade light, like a streak of lightning, swept across the space.
