The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The intensity of the battle over there was only a glimpse of the iceberg, as could be gleaned from the sounds alone.

　Dark knew very well that even with all the extra training Aurora had received before setting off, she wouldn't be able to handle a battle of this scale.

　So the reason she was able to hold on until now, besides the snakeskin she was wearing, must be due to the help of another person.

　But the reason she encountered such a dangerous situation was most likely due to that person.

　Dark listened carefully and immediately ruled out the possibility that it was Albert Grantham. Because the voice coming from the "Blessing of the Wind Spirit" was that of a woman.

　Then, he also ruled out Emily Grantham. He was very clear about the voice of the "Twin Paladins," and it clearly did not belong to Emily.

　He had initially assumed that the person traveling with Aurora was one of the "Twin Paladins," but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

　"But if it's not Emily, could it be Gavin North's daughter?"

　Dark's mind raced.

　He certainly wouldn't mistake Angry's voice; it wasn't Emily's or Angry's voice.

　Using the process of elimination, the only possible candidate is Gavin North's daughter, Quintina North!

　But does Quintina North possess the power of purification? Or perhaps, it's the purification power of a certain magical spirit—"Roar!"

　A roar erupted in that instant.

　That was the same voice that came from "The Blessing of the Wind Spirit" almost simultaneously from a little further ahead.

　Dak suddenly snapped out of his daze and temporarily turned off the communication function of "Blessing of the Wind Spirit".

　The battlefield is just ahead.

　He held several magic cards, including "Pride 4" and "Elysium V", in his hand, his gaze fixed intently ahead.

　"call out!"

　"Moon Goddess's Chariot" completed its third flap of wings under the control of "Fairy Tale Animal - Little Rabbit".

　Four thousand points of magic were drained in an instant.

　But the very next second it was filled with "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit".

　Its speed increased to 8.5 times its normal speed in that instant. The entire carriage had turned into a black streak of light.

　The distance between Dark and the battlefield was traversed almost in the blink of an eye.

　His magic surged into his brain, his thinking speed increased to its limit, and he focused all his efforts on capturing the massive amount of information that flooded his mind in that instant.

　The first thing he saw was a snake flying in the air.

　The snake had an extremely thick waist and a body length of over fifteen meters. Its enormous size and jet-black scales made it look very much like an "oil snake" at first glance.

　But on its neck grew a huge head like that of a lion.

　It was flying in the air, its blood-red maw wide open, roaring continuously and releasing a terrifying sonic boom visible to the naked eye.

　But the roar just now did not come from it, but from another beast-like creature shrouded in black mist beside it.

　The beast-like creature was about three meters long and resembled a cheetah. The thick black fog completely enveloped its body, making it impossible to see its specific appearance.

　However, the aura it emitted was extremely terrifying, even more so than that of the lion-headed, snake-bodied creature.

　Compared to these two creatures, the other creatures scattered around were also extremely ferocious, but clearly not on the same level.

　The lizard that was crushed to death in the crater earlier was of that level.

　Comparing the star ratings of magical spirits, the beast-like creature shrouded in black mist and the lion-headed, snake-bodied monster should be at least twelve stars or higher, while the other creatures are clearly slightly weaker.

　However, in such a dangerous situation, the advantage brought by numbers could also become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

　Moreover, they are not weak.

　If it weren't for the fact that their opponent was a mage capable of summoning a large number of magical spirits, this battle would probably have ended in their victory long ago.

　At that moment, Dak finally saw the face of the woman who was traveling with Aurora.

　—Not Quintina North! This was clearly unexpected.

　But Dark didn't seem too surprised.

　He processed the information flooding his mind with absolute rationality. The woman appeared to be even younger than Aurora. She had exceptionally beautiful long, silver-white hair, and her small but delicate face was framed by a pair of clear, almost transparent eyes.

　Memories that had settled deep in his mind resurfaced. Dak almost immediately remembered her identity.

　During his visit to the elven camp outside the Mountain of the Gods, Dark had seen her at a bonfire feast, beside Bellamy Artemis, the high priestess of the moon elves.

　She is a moon elf, the only moon elf under twenty years old that the elven race brought this time!

　"The elves have entered too."

　Dark turned his head and realized that the only ones who should have entered the "Heavenly Court" were the four young elves.

　The moon elves chosen for this mission must possess both exceptional talent and distinguished status.

　Although Dark didn't remember the moon elf's name, he could guess that she must have a prominent position among the moon elves.

　Perhaps, she is the successor to the future High Priest! At this moment, the moon elf is fighting alongside Aurora.

　The two were supported by a transparent barrier, and beneath their feet stood a magical spirit, over fifteen meters tall, resembling a steel golem—"Steel God Soldier"!

　To compensate for their inherent weakness in defense, the Elf race studied magical techniques and eventually developed this fortress-type magical Elf, which is forged from giant trees, soil, rocks, or steel.

　The directional forging formula for "Iron Gods" has a certain degree of universality.

　Any elven mage who meets the requirements can use that specific transmutation method to forge a (Steel Divine Weapon).

　Lucia Artemis, the moon elf, was naturally one of them.

　The "Iron Divine Weapon" she forged is a nine-star weapon of the highest level, and it is a gold card with four ultimate skills!

　The "Iron God Soldier's" ultimate skills are mainly defensive. Each additional ultimate skill means an additional layer of defense. With four layers stacked, it can transcend the steps and become a truly indestructible iron fortress!

　Aurora and Lucia were able to escape unharmed from the siege of so many terrifying creatures thanks entirely to this "Iron God Soldier" with its ultimate defensive capabilities.

　They stood atop the "Iron God Soldier," surrounded by a transparent barrier—the "Absolute Fortress," a steel-based barrier extending from the "Iron God Soldier."

　The defense of the "Absolute Fortress" is completely synchronized with that of the "Iron Godsman." Its magic power is also shared with the "Iron Godsman."

　Unless the speed at which the barrier is destroyed exceeds the speed at which the "Iron God Soldier" conducts magic, the "Absolute Fortress" will only break when the "Iron God Soldier" falls.

　Lucia Artemis added layers of defensive buffs to the "Iron God Soldier," raising the "Absolute Fortress's" defense to an extremely terrifying level.

　But the "Absolute Fortress" continued to show cracks under the sonic attacks of the lion-headed, snake-bodied monster.

　Although the cracks were repaired in time each time, the magic power of the "Iron God Weapon" was being consumed rapidly.

　Lucia Artemis had to make time to constantly summon and activate magic cards to replenish her magic power.

　Meanwhile, her own magic power was being consumed at an accelerated rate during this process. If Aurora hadn't fed her a "Little Phoenix Blood Pill," she would have already been in a desperate situation of magic depletion.

　During this process, the person in charge of directing the other magical spirits to fight the enemy was Aurora!

　Lucia Artemis seemed to have shared command of her magical spirits with Aurora. At this moment, the high-star magical spirits active on the battlefield were barely holding on under Aurora's command.

　Among them, the only magical elf that could stand up to the lion-headed serpent monster and the black mist beast-like creature head-on was a jet-black leopard with countless vines growing on its neck!

　The cheetah's fur was jet black with silver-gray round spots, and the vines growing from its neck were a dark green that was almost black.

　It was over three meters long and very similar to the beast-like creature shrouded in black mist.

　wrong!

　The reason why the beast-like creature shrouded in black mist has a similar appearance is probably because it used some kind of ultimate technique with the ability to mimic!

　Dark's eyes flashed, and he had the answer.

　If we call the lion-headed, snake-bodied monster the "Lion-Headed Snake-Bodied Beast," then let's temporarily call the beast-like creature shrouded in black mist the "Black Mist Beast."

　Lucy Artemis's ace cheetah is named "Shadow Cheetah of the Forest"!

　The "Forest Shadow Leopard" is a mythical beast that lives in a secret forest. It only appears under the moonlight, has an exquisite appearance, a pure and kind heart, and will take the initiative to help people in trouble.

　Ruthie Artemis's "Forest Shadow Leopard" is a genuine twelve-star magical spirit!

　Its type is Grass/Dark, and it belongs to the "Moon Leopard" species. Therefore, it has a special move called "Moon Leopard", which gives it a significant boost to its stats and speed under moonlight, as well as the special ability to move through the moon's shadow.

　"Forest Shadow Leopard" is an extremely powerful magical spirit.

　But the "Black Mist Beast" imitated it, and its power was even greater than its own.

　The battle between the two sides appears evenly matched in the short term. However, as time goes on, the weaknesses of the "Forest Shadow Leopard" as a magical spirit will become apparent.

　And that "Black Mist Beast" will only grow stronger with each battle.

　Not to mention, the "lion-headed serpent beast" was also lurking nearby, watching them intently.

　Therefore, this life-or-death battle between humans and the "Heavenly Court" creatures will most likely end with the "Heavenly Court" creatures emerging victorious, barring any external intervention.

　The best-case scenario is that humanity manages to escape.

　But for some special reason, those two humans were unable to escape from under their noses!

　Everything was frozen at the moment Dark arrived.

　It was probably because the "Moon Chariot" arrived far too quickly. Neither the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast" nor the "Black Mist Beast" had time to react.

　Within seconds of entering the battlefield, Dark completed an analysis of the battlefield situation.

　Then, he suddenly shouted, "Chariot of the Moon Goddess, charge into battle!"

　Now that we have distinguished friend from foe, there is no room for hesitation.

　Dark immediately ordered the "Lunar Chariot" to unleash its only powerful offensive move – "Charge into Battle"!

　The "Lunar Chariot" maintained the super-strong kinetic energy brought by its 8.5x speed, and the front of the chariot deployed a triangular light array twice the size of its defense the moment it received the command.

　This triangular light array has a defense of 5,000 points.

　This level of defense is already an impenetrable barrier in a typical magic duel.

　But in the current situation, it really doesn't matter. However, it has an extra ability that prevents the "Lunar Chariot" from suffering a backlash when it "charges into battle".

　—A blinding white light shone on the "Moon Goddess Chariot," and its speed increased again, instantly breaking through to nine times the normal speed!

　Without hesitation, Dark chose the larger target, the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast." The next instant, a terrifying impact rang out. The serpent's body was slammed forward, its gaping maw instantly snapping shut, and the sonic attack came to an abrupt halt.

　The "Lunar Chariot" had a base of only three thousand units, but thanks to the powerful kinetic energy generated by its acceleration, it managed to smash the scales on the back of the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast" to pieces.

　But beneath the scales lies incredibly resilient muscle.

　As the triangular light array shattered due to the reaction force, the "Chariot of the Moon Goddess" sent the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast's" massive serpentine body flying forward, but it did not cut it in half.

　"Holy Sword!"

　The rousing voices rose instantly.

　The "Viligeon" that had already stepped out of the carriage suddenly looked up, and holy power gathered above its head to form a glowing horn with a bright green halo. It continued to grow longer and thicker at a visible speed, transforming into a hard "holy sword"!

　Faced with the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast," which is clearly of the Dark attribute, the Holy Sword's divine power erupted further, increasing its resistance to the Dark attribute by 50%.

　The attack, which already had a power of 6700, completely pierced through the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast's" defense due to the elemental advantage.

　"Bilijion" suddenly turned its head and slashed a gash several meters deep in its back, almost cutting it in half!

　The lion-headed serpent beast's tightly closed jaws suddenly snapped open, emitting an extremely painful hiss.

　"Vilijion" was expressionless, but flames were burning in its eyes.

　"Don't suppress it."

　Dak then got out of the carriage and spoke to it.

　"Vilijion's" eyes widened instantly, and a monstrous madness surged forth, his anger burning fiercely.

　Whether it was the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast," the "Black Mist Beast," or the other creatures around them, they all exuded a dark and evil aura.

　"Vilizion's" "Raging Righteous Heart" could no longer be contained. Stimulated by evil, it entered a state of rage, its burning madness scorching away its reason. But this also gave it a massive boost to its attack power, ranging from 50% to 100%.

　"Rage" + "Holy Sword"!

　The legendary "Holy Swordsman" draws his sword in the face of evil.

　When the heart of rage burns to its extreme, "Vilizion's" slash can maintain an attack power of 10700 for a long time!

　In its rage, it sees only evil! "Whoosh whoosh!"

　With a roar, "Viligeon" raised its holy sword and leaped off the platform. The holy sword above its head continued to extend, slashing fiercely at the rapidly healing wound of the "Lion-Headed Serpent Beast".

　Dark squinted at the wound and quickly said, "God of Destruction, Annihilation Declaration!"
