Chapter 269: Endless Battlefield

Before the green flash reaches Jayna, Jade appears in front of Jayna and intercepts it. *BAM*

"What are you doing?" said Jade coldly as he parried the green flash being.

"Move away!!" replied the green-haired woman that appeared from the green flame.

At this moment, everyone is also ready themself to battle. In the meantime, both Jayna and Mia immediately know that this is Green Phoenix. Subconsciously, Jayna releases enormous fire mana towards the surrounding. 

Before she goes berserk, Angus taps Jayna's shoulder and calms her down. Feeling Angus' touch, Jayna immediately wakes up from the Fire Phoenix influence.

"Uncle, please take her away from here." said Angus.

"That's what I am about to do," said Jade.

Before the Green Phoenix could respond, Jade appeared in front of her and grabbed her face. A moment later, they were already flying far away from Angus and the others' location. 

While all of this happens, the other people only silently look at the commotion without reacting. At the same time, a blue-haired girl and a muscular old man look at Angus's location from a certain corner.

"It's them." said the girl.

"Ignore them for now, Layla. We have more important things to do." said the muscular old man but still glared at Angus before closing his eyes again.

They are actually Ice Maiden and her teacher, Ha, who has a dispute with Angus. At another corner, a group of black-clothed people also look at Angus's group.

"Miesta, are you sure you are losing to that kid?" said one of the black-clothed people.

"Don't underestimate him. He is a powerful combatant despite his young age. Also, don't think of making trouble with him. He is under the protection list." replied Miesta, who hid her face under the black cloth.

"I know.. I know… I am not stupid enough to break the rules." said the other person.

After that, silence returned to the area while more people arrived. In the meantime, far away from the stone pillar entrance, Jade brings the Green Phoenix roughly by grabbing her face. 

The green phoenix is trying to loosen up Jade's hand and burn it with her green flame. *Whoosh* Feeling the green flame, Jade reluctantly releases his grip over Green Phoenix's head and throws it in a certain direction.

"You!! How dare you grab my face and throw me!!" yelled the Green Phoenix, who transformed into a gigantic green-colored flaming bird.

"So, this is the power of the green phoenix, huh?! If it was before, I could only run away. But, now… Is that all?!" said Jade as he released fire mana into the surroundings and became a sort of Firestorm.

Soon, both of them begin to clash with each other and cause destruction towards the surrounding. In the meantime, back at the stone pillar area, Angus is concerned about Jayna's condition.

"Jayna, Are you okay?" asked Angus.

"Huft.. Yes, I just get a little bit too emotional. Don't worry, [Arctic Heart] managed to calm my mind." said Jayna.

"I see, then if that Green Phoenix is coming again, please run away." said Angus.

"Yeah, I know. I am not a match for her with my current strength. Don't worry. I will immediately run away if I meet her again. Besides, you should worry about yourself. You are going to a more dangerous place than us." said Jayna.

"True, but I can't help but worry about you." said Angus as he embraced Jayna.

While the two of them are having their time, the whispering soul keeper suddenly becomes silent at once. Everyone immediately noticed this scene. Then, one of the soul keepers took out an item like a compass.

Suddenly, the compass rotated rapidly and broke into pieces. *Clang* All the soul keepers look at each other before facing the stone pillar. At the same time, everyone immediately gathered their things and prepared themselves.

A moment later, a large crack appeared in front of the stone pillar. *CRACK* *CRACK* The cracking becomes more prominent until it envelops the whole pillar. 

Then, a burst of bluish light came out from the crack. Like a broken dam, the entire crack is destroyed to pieces and reveals a dark bluish portal. *BAM* Along with the portal's appearance, an unending stream of mana was also released.

"This is… How come there is such an enormous soul power?!!" exclaimed Millie looking at the dark bluish portal.

At the same time, all the nearby soul keepers immediately clap their hands and punch the ground [Maximize Soul Barrier]. 

*BLAM* a powerful grey barrier erected from all the Soul Keeper, enveloping the surrounding stone pillar. 

All the mana and the Soul Power immediately hit the barrier and rose into the sky. The boundless energy pierces the sky and becomes a sort of beacon.

At the same time, all the nearby combatants immediately run towards the portal, trying to enter the portal first. On the other hand, Angus looks at Jayna.

"Don't worry, I will be back before you know it." said Angus as he noticed her worried face.

"Yeah, be careful." said Jayna before kissing Angus.

After that, Angus looks at the portal and starts to run towards it like everyone else. Soon, almost all the nearby combatants enter the portal going to the Endless Battlefield. 

At the same time, a loud beast roar was heard from far away. *RROOOAARR* This roar is thunderous and heard until a hundred kilometers away.

At the Porros perimeter, a few people sitting on the ground began to open their eyes from their meditation. All of these people release a strong aura and indicate they are seventh-grade combatants.

"So, it begins." said one of the people.

"Yoiyoiyoi… It seems the monster horde this time will be the hardest we ever faced." said Cirrus.

"Oiii.. Cirrus, don't say that. You are raising a flag here." replied Ivan while looking at the horizon.

"Everyone, be ready. They are coming!!" said a black-clothed man that acted as their leader.

Then, various fifth-grade monsters start coming towards them from the forest. There are even a few monster overlords among them going berserk.

"Damn, what a lineup." said Zephyr while taking a stance with his spear.

Soon, they start to clash with the unending monster wave. At the same time, Jade and Green Phoenix stop their fight after the emergence of the bluish energy pillar.

"I think we should stop here. We are not going anywhere with this fight." said Jade.

Looking that Jade is still unscathed despite receiving all her attacks, "Hmph… Fine. Why do you protect her? She is a monster, you will regret protecting her later." said Green Phoenix.

"I don't know what kind of grudge you have with Fire Phoenix. But, the current Fire Phoenix is different from your thought." said Jade.

"Different?! What do you mean?"

"The Fire Phoenix you know is already merged with Lady Jayna. Although the merging process is still not done, she is currently not the same as before." said Jade.

"Impossible!! There is no way that monster could lose to a mere little girl." said Green Phoenix.

"Well, that's the truth. I don't care if you believe it or not. But, I will not let you harm Lady Jayna. Alright, I will leave first." said Jade before going to Jayna and the others, leaving the Green Phoenix alone.

In the meantime, a monster horde also starts coming towards the portal.

"Protect the portal!! Don't let them destroy it!!" shouted one of the nearby people while fending off the monster.

Jayna and the others also start to fight the monster horde. Gilford also uses Alfredo to fend off many colossal monsters. A few of Miasma Blast appeared in the middle of this chaos, coming towards the portal.

"Shit!! Someone blocked that attack!!" shouted the people.

Before it reached the portal, Jade and Hayden, Layla's teacher, appeared in front of the portal. Without hesitation, both of them release their large-scale attack. [Sheer Cold] [Tri Flare] 

*BOOOM* The two massive attacks clash with Miasma Blast and create a terrible shockwave towards the surroundings. Jade and Hayden look at each other before giving a silent nod and starting to massacre the nearby monster.

While the world outside is in chaos, many people start to appear one after another inside the Endless Battlefield. The moment they enter the Endless Battlefield, a terrible rainstorm welcomes them.

Suddenly,  a loud explosion was heard from far away. *BOOOM*  Then, a strong energy shockwave comes from far away and envelopes most of the nearby people. All the people that touch the energy shockwave immediately turn into ash without remains.

Seeing this phenomenon, the surrounding people immediately wanted to retreat, but they could only find nothing but a flat of land and a rainstorm in the sky. Then, two people appeared out of thin air near them.

Before they could react, the two people wearing majestic battle armor clash and kill the surrounding people.

Seeing this scene from far away, "Oii… Are you crazy?!! How are we supposed to survive from that?" said a boy on the top of a white-skinned lion.

"Shut up, kid!! I will try to locate the ancestor remnant here." said the white-skinned lion.

'Damn!! Why is my fate terrible!! After being captured by Neal Lion, now I am forced to come to this place. I should never follow Angus and the others coming to this dimension.' thought Ian as he saw another terrible shockwave in the far distance.
