Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 323 Mission: 06-4 Hamel Sunrise

"Boom!"

A heavy bang rang in everyone's ears. The giant Dean pulled his hand out from the pierced body of Suthrom, and broken ceramics scattered all over the ground.

"Tsk." Entangled by the countless shadow blades released by Leticia, Weser, who had difficulty exerting his strength, watched Dean break into the formation of Strom as if he were in an empty space, completely ignoring the violent hurricane and smashing it easily. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Ultimately, he wasn't cut out to be a goalkeeper. Unlike Nero and Pest, who could easily capture intruders despite their numbers, he felt somewhat powerless against the contestants who had dispersed into the church area. If he were to go all out to destroy the entire block, he would inevitably damage a significant amount of the Hamel stained glass in the area, only facilitating the contestants' offensive.

Shadows transformed into blades, attacking again like a swarm of pitch-black bats. Weser swung his flute, slashing through unscathed. Leticia, once again transformed into shadows, vanished from his sight. He tried to turn to deal with the distant bird controlling Dean, but another shadow immediately enveloped him, transforming into an iron curtain. As soon as Weser broke through it, he was met by a red iron fist.

The strength of the divine iron was so strong that even the "Great Sage" couldn't let it go. Naturally, it was beyond the reach of Weser, who had only just reached the five-digit realm through divine power. Although Weser's full-strength attack was now powerful enough to cause a massive earthquake, it was still powerless against the iron puppet, which could instantly increase its own weight by a thousand times. Dean retreated a few steps, a gesture of respect for the blow.

Weser, who was defeated once again, looked helplessly at the battlefield in the distance, frowned anxiously and whispered:
“…Isn’t it over yet?”

The contestants have begun to search for "Hamel's Magic Book", and the time advantage of the organizers is gradually disappearing.

"found it!"

"This is a 'false inheritance', please break it!"

At Ren Russell's command, the fragile stained glass was instantly shattered by a hammer.

"Wow——!"

As if hearing the voice, Pest, who was fighting, was slightly stunned, and the cloud of death following behind her also stagnated.

"...Weser couldn't stop them."

The stained glass, which was the key to the game, was broken, and Pest, the game leader, immediately learned about it. Then she realized that she didn't have time to slowly engage in a tug-of-war with Sandra.

"Let's get this over with."

The black cloud turned into a vortex above her head, and what Pest gathered this time was real "death".

Unlike the previous "wind of death" that deprived people of their physical strength and was like a sideshow, this invisible, odorless, and pervasive wind is the real "power of death."

The spiritual power gained through faith is of the highest quality among all spiritual powers. Therefore, when the quality and quantity of spiritual power are equal, the one with faith has a natural advantage. Therefore, even if both are at the peak of five digits, Sandora cannot possibly fight against Pest at full power head-on.

"Can you take it this time?"

Pest looked at Sandra, who was using flames as a wall to protect the contestants behind her along with the army of [Salamanda], and raised her hand with a sneer.

Around her, even the microorganisms floating in the air were "dying." This was the power of this wind, the "scythe of death" wielded by Peste, born from the plague, capable of annihilating all life. Anyone touched by this wind would die instantly, and unless they possessed a protection granting immunity to curses and death, there would be no chance of recovery.

Pest looked around and saw that those standing in front of her were all from Salamanda, and these people were not within the scope of the agreement with Nero.

Although Pest admired their courage in not fearing death, but - "victory and defeat are absolute."

She waved her arms, and the dark air turned into a vortex, spinning towards the fire dragons' camp.

"You will die here."

An invisible feeling of oppression enveloped Sandra's heart. She didn't know what was different about this black wind from the previous ones, but her intuition told her that this time, she couldn't stop it.

Sure enough, do I have to use that thing?

While thinking this, she still tried to activate the flames behind her, transforming into a flying dragon and colliding with the black wind. But this time, the black wind was no longer like a plague that could be driven away by the flames. They passed through Sandora's attack as if it were nothing, and attacked the members of [Salamanda] who helped Sandora maintain the wall of fire.

Can't wait any longer.

Hesitation for even a second could result in the death of a member. Sandra took out a piece of paper shining with golden light from her bosom and shouted, "No need to panic!"

This wasn't the best time to use it. According to Black Rabbit's original intention in giving this gift to Sandora, this scrap of paper—the [Page of the Mahabharata]—was a one-time "ultimate weapon" capable of slaying the Demon King at a crucial moment. If Sandora weren't alone, with the help of others returning to support them, they could likely successfully defeat the suppressed Demon King.

But for Sandra, the lives of her fellow community members are more precious.

Seeing the strange light suddenly appear below, Pester felt something was wrong and frowned: "What?"

A thousand-foot-long light rose from below, like a brand-new sun rising in the dark night. In the face of this blazing sunlight, the cloud of death surrounding Pest dissipated like morning dew.

"How... is this possible?!"

It's the sun.

The sun's radiance suppressed the wind of death.

In a flash, Pest understood the origin of the paper. Looking down at Sandora, clad in golden armor, Pest covered her eyes in shock and anger. "Surya's Son's Sun Armor?!"

That's right, what Shantara summoned from the pages of the epic was the golden armor held by Karna, the son of Surya, the Indian sun god, which could emit endless sunlight and bring the power of immortality.

This was a huge weakness that even Pest herself hadn't noticed. Because she held the authority to seal the sun, the unsealed sunlight was the natural enemy of her power.

At the moment the sun rose, the dark clouds were transformed into nothingness by its brilliance, and the black wind that brought death was also reduced to ashes.

Then Pest understood one thing clearly: Sandra, wearing the sun armor, was not an opponent she could face.

Without hesitation, she turned and ran.
