"She's looking down on us" Fernandos laughed while he watched Diana approach.
"Why don't we show her how dumb her plan is if she thinks she can deal with us alone.." Agus figure appeared beside Fernandos.
His golden eyes let out a bright golden light and a pair of golden aura wings appeared on his back, with a golden sword as well. Agus eyes showcased no or hate, just indifference! In his opinion, Diana is much weaker when compared to Cyrus or any other gold realm master. If he is unable to defeat her with thirty thousand people backing him, how will he show his face to his palace master when he returns?
"Ha!" Fernandos laughed as he charged forward, leaving Agus behind.
Holy prayer: Divine strike!
Golden aura gathered around the magic weapon the moment he was just a few meters away from Diana, slashing at her like a mad man.
Peng!
Peng!!
Peng!!!
In response Diana didn't retreat, at the gold realm, her physical strength rose with her power making her stronger than most guardian knights at the silver realm. With a single gesture, she created a silver rod that was used to block Fernandos attacks.
..................…..
Bang!
Bang!!
Two silver beams struck Gin repeatedly, forcing him to use his blue swords to block while retreating repeatedly, but even this wasn't enough to wipe away the disappointed look on his face. In his opinion, gold realm masters are meant to be domineering and all-powerful just like Derik and Cyrus. But each time he saw Diana, he would always lose interest in cultivating.
"If this was the power the gold realm grants after decades of hard work and strife, I will rather spend the rest of my days with my family and enjoy what's left of my life!" Gin grunted as his swords released a blue light while his magic armor greedily fed on all the mana in the air.
"We never get to fight worthy foes anymore!" Donald laughed cruelly as his body was engulfed in a green aura. His eyes turned green while pulled out his green spear.
"We will end this in one strike then!" Gin shot Donald a friendly smile, engulfing his own weapons with a blue aura.
"Like always! Hahaha!" Donald laughed.
Booooom!
The two figures shot towards the massive crescent moon with their weapons pushed forward. Meanwhile, the massive fire dragon suffered numerous hits from Diana's magic weapon, leaving Gerald with numerous bloody wounds. Gerald's blazing dragon path coupled with his living element path allowed Gerald to create a living dragon purely made of fire but as solid as any other living thing. It grants him the ability to see through the dragon's eyes and hear through its ears as if it is his own but unfortunately he shared the pain of the beast as well.
At this point, he realized conjuring a massive fire dragon the size of Diana's gigantic magic weapon was the dumbest thing he could do considering the magic weapon's ability to keep them at bay using its projectile attacks.
"You forced my hands, Diana, so don't blame me for being ruthless!!!" Gerald roared and the size of the fire dragon began to shrink.
Boom!
This continued until the fire dragon was completely consumed by Gerald. He roared as red dragon scales began to appear on his body and his eyes turned crimson red.
Roar!!!
Gerald cried out in pain as the transformation continued with bone-breaking sounds and flesh-tearing sounds. By the time the flame shielding his body from the view of other dispersed, a salamander-like creature with a pair of dragon wings appeared. If not for the fact that its gaze showed no hostility towards his teammates, Scott and the others would have joined hand to kill it first.
"Blazing Dragon path: Fire salamander king" Gerald breathed out torrents of flame.
Bang!
"Agh!" Donald and Gin gritted their teeth as their aggression was replied with a big beam of silver energy.
Casting reinforcement spells on himself and Donald, the two struggled with the big silver beam for a while before they were eventually blasted away.
Puti!
Gin spat out a mouthful of blood after which he sprang on his feet once again, just to realize they hit Kira's blood dome and surprisingly they didn't fall in like all the others that tried to get past it. His legs were a bit shaky and his body felt numb, but in the end, he only suffered minor injuries.
"Mages… Way too fragile" Donald gave Gin a wink as he flexed his broad shoulders.
He looked like he didn't sustain any injury at all and even his armor was intact. He too was amazed by the fact that they didn't sink into the sea of blood, he wondered how if the spell could actually differentiate between friend and foe.
"Get off me…" Kira's cold voice spooked them, causing them to jump off and flying her.
Like an illusion, a lump of blood rose at the surface of the blood dome before taking the shape of a human. Kira finally appeared once again with his lower half submerged inside the blood dome while the upper half was left bare with no piece of cloth to hide his well proportion muscles which a normal mage shouldn't have. He looked paler than usual and the red light in his eyes had dimmed considerably. Even a monkey would know that the sea dome was consuming his mana and stamina at an alarming speed.
"You all had just one job, but you couldn't keep up to your own part of the deal… All I could hear was you guys trash talking but none of you are yet to put a scratch of the lady" Kira had a stern look on his face but his voice revealed how weak he has become.
"Apparently the magic weapon is way more lethal than the owner… since it's a gold realm magic tool it has a mind of its own and is focused on destroying us… If Diana was involved in our battle we would have forced the magic tool to focus on defense and then destroy it… but I guess things cant go the way we expect" Gin was unfazed by Kira's menacing gaze
"Chill man… You are a mess, I think you should head back to the sect and rest… we will definitely deal with everything here… and don't worry, our forces have been sent out, no one is leaving the empire!" Donald assured Kira.
"Hmph!" Kira sighed as he gazed at the battle happening above and a weak smile appeared on his face.
"It's too late to retreat now… Another one is coming… Francis finally made his move!" Kira's voice was carried hints of hatred and disdain.
