When the retreating army heard the word 'lightening tyrant' from Agus, they were left stunned by this and for the first time, they experienced fear in battle.
Even though the lightening tyrant has only been seen during the old times and rarely shows themselves these days, everyone knows about the existence of these monsters. They possessed shocking intelligence and amazing stealth abilities.
This magic was rated level 80, as it has broken past the level of silver realm masters and pushed into the gold realm. Mere Silver realm elites that that are capable of fighting those even a grade above them, like Kira and Agus cannot compare. Even though it's overall strength should be somewhere around the low grade of the gold realm, it's still enough to wipe out this little gathering of theirs!
With the two peak elites from the different palaces which could trouble it defeated, a surge of lightning appeared in the midst of the horde of magic beasts and a lightning bolt shot into the air. A werewolf, standing on its hind legs, with blue lightning claws, fur and blazing blue eyes appeared. With each howl, lightening struck at random positions and its vicious gaze was fixed on the defeated commanders of the twin palaces.
Agus has always been a powerful figure in the eyes of the people from the life palace. At such a young age, he managed to catch up to the former team members of their palace master and he shows signs of moving further. Without a doubt, Agus will eventually surpass Kira at this rate and will most likely enter the gold realm if he is given a few more decades. Entering the gold realm without the assistance of some sort of special spirit or external force. His innate talent is just too frightening and even the palace master, Cyrus commended him on this issue.
To see someone like this fall in battle from just one attack, the courage of the members of the life palace shattered and their formation was destroyed due to this.
The lightening tyrant sneered while revealing it's razor-sharp fangs. Blue lightning surged fiercely around its blue claws and the beasts aura began to rise and gather, suppressing those trying to escape with the defeated Kira and Agus. Its eyes released a blue flash as it was about to recreate its lightening claw attack but then an arc of terrifying blue aura sprang forth from thing air and assaulted the beast from the side!
"You dare!!!!" Gin's voice shook the skies as he gathered more aura into his magic weapon, preparing for another strike…
Bang!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
Explosions could be heard as a mighty green shaped aura spear soared through the skies and struck the distracted lightening tyrants back! The beast let out a howl as it shifted its murderous gaze towards the well built green-haired man in green knights armor and a green spear in his hands.
Donald wore a mocking grin as he looked down on the monster from above and flaunted his green spear as if the magic beast wasn't his equal!
The beast let out a howl and ignored all the attacks, leaping towards Donald with malicious intentions. These Royal guards were only mid-grade silver realm experts who could manifest the strength of low tier peak grade silver realm experts. Their attacks only left shallow wounds on its body.
Woooosh!
In just a second the beast appeared right in front of Donald and brandished its claws at him. Donald in response roared, shrouding his magic spear with his green aura as he retreated continuously.
"Ignoring me? Hahaha! You court death!" Gin laughed and shot towards the magic beast.
He appeared behind it in an instant and slammed his sword into it, shoving it to sides.
"So thick!" He gasped as his sword attack which was meant to slice this beast in two only left a white mark on its body. His eyes narrowed and he held his sword with both hands preparing for the monsters attack.
"So hot-blooded… the both of you!" A voice echoed from above the clouds.
Wam!!
The clouds parted and a flaming comet descended from above and slammed into the lightening tyrant.
Roar!
Booom!!
The lightening tyrant roared in response and struck at the flaming meteor with its lightning claw. The sky shook violently and the flaming meteor collapsed. Karl let out a loud cry and fell off the sky like a bird whose wings have been damaged.
Roar!
Buzzzzzzzzzzzz!
At this time, Gin and Donald proceeded to attack the lightening tyrant at close quarters. With a roar, the lightening tyrant released its lightning domain.
The clouds all around gathered and a wave of lightning aura spread forth like an ocean, consuming all those planning to take it on t close quarters. Even the invisible Daemon who was trying to perform a perfect assassination was caught by this and like the rest, she was blown out of the sky.
The lightening tyrant let out a war cry and was about to dive down and end its enemies but then a wind arrow pierced it's chest from nowhere and forced it to retreat temporarily.
It bleed from its arrow wound as it stared at the man responsible for its injury with cold eyes.
A 6ft tall man stood with flowing golden hair. His pupils were golden and he had a green scarf wrapped around it's his neck. He wore black leather armor, bearing the Royal family badge on the left side of his chest.
Mason stared at the beast with a soft and fearless look on his face and he nodded. He had a strange green bow in his hands but no quiver bearing any arrow. His eyes let out a green flash as he turned his attention to the white-robed lady who stood behind him and spoke
"Selena… Do take care of the rest with your healing magic… I'll handle this little beast…" Mason said softly.
"Can you win?" the red-haired lady was stunned and looked at Mason in disbelief.
Mason only smiled and nodded in response. He ignored the woman and slowly approached the monster fearlessly.
"You are only a silver realm archer at the mid-grade!" Selena didn't seem to believe Mason's words and screamed out.
"I know… it's enough" Mason said with a confident smile on his face.
"This is what you would have become… if only you kept walking this path!" Mason muttered as he glanced at the mountain shrouded in darkness with narrowed eyes.

Within his underground cultivation chamber, Derik's eyes slowly opened and he looked towards the general direction of the kingdom's borders. It felt as if he and Mason had looked eyes even though they were hundreds of kilometers away from each other.
"Show me…" Derik said weakly.
