298 Chapter 298

"How?" Diana was stunned, staring at Aldora in disbelief.

"You are the one who has grown cocky from fighting these kids… Just a few moments ago, I have been slapping your attacks away and you actually thought you would be able to hurt me with that little staff? Impudent child" Aldora's voice struck Diana like lighting and she watched the chubby midget create a massive golden hand above her head, planning to slap her away like before.

But this time she didn't run. Francis has been defeated, she can only take this hit and let it send her as far as possible before slipping away while Aldora is focused on cracking her formation.

[There is no reason to remain here] she thought, preparing to take the hit.

But then…

Boom!

Black blood sea surged forward, instantly destroying the gray moon right beside them. At that moment Diana realized how bad a mistake she made by staying next to her own moon formation seal. While Aldora remained unfazed by the sudden development, Diana tried to escape but a powerful pale-colored hand shot out from the black blood sea, grabbing Diana by the face.

"Thank you, old man… If you didn't weaken the formation earlier we would have never been able to escape and deal with this bitch ourselves" Kira's cold and detached voice echoed all around the area but his voice also carried hints of weakness.

Before Diana could even put up any resistance she realized she was already surrounded by three men who looked ghostly pale and extremely exhausted. For some reason, her body had lost all the strength in it and she felt helpless against these three and could only stare at their cold eyes, waiting for their judgment. She acknowledged the fact that she got herself into this situation due to her carelessness! If she didn't try to fight Aldora at close quarters, this would have never happened or if she just paid attention to her surroundings and the moon formation seal, she would have been caught like this.

"What now? If you all kill Francis and I, who will defend the continent when the orcs return? Do you think you can do that?" Diana decided to try and convince these people not to take her life. If she could understand how Kira is able to place invisible bounds on her, she may be able to escape

"Die" Kira literarily spat out those words, not giving others a second to consider her words.

His grip on her face slightly tightened and the next moment countless wounds appeared all over her body and her blood gushed out from those points, including her eyes, nostrils, and mouth. Kira watched the bloodied Diana free fall to the ground without any resistance, the hatred and disdain in his eyes were enough to even spook the gods.

"She had a point though… If the orcs attack again before Derik and Cyrus return, we will be two gold realm masters short" Aldora chuckled.

"Well… I suggest we properly deal with our enemies… If you think that little blood manipulation trick you used is enough to kill a gold realm master, then you are more naïve than every other person I have met… she lives" Aldora's eyes let out a golden flash and a mighty golden spear began to form above his head.

............................

At this moment, the golden hexagon was completely charged, the size of a two-story building. The massive ball of energy floating above Fernandos head began descending slowly, its target was the pale man in tattered green mage robes and dark green eyes. Francis' heart skipped a beat and he finally realized why the world always succeeded in killing the hosts of the guardian spirits in the past even though they were clearly weaker.

"Greater numbers are really terrifying… Derik and Cyrus understood this and created their own personal forces… Now I understand it all" Francis sighed and shut his eyes waiting for death to steal him away very soon.

"I suggest we end here today!" A cold indifferent voice shook the skies which turned orange and the temperature of the kingdom rose to higher levels.

A massive flaming ball emerged from the red skies, directly smashing into the hexagon energy ball, causing it to explode prematurely. Since Fernandos was the closest to it, he was caught in the explosion and was severely injured.

Boom!

At the same time, an enormous wave of flames flew forward and consumed Aldora, and his mighty golden spear the next moment.

Flash!

It all happened too fast for anyone to react and the next moment a red-scaled lizardman was seen standing slightly above them with Francis and Diana in his hands. His eyes showed no hate or love, just indifference but his aura was so powerful that images of Derik and Cyrus appeared in the minds of everyone present. Ahika shot everyone a glance, before turning his attention to the mountain ranges ahead and slightly nodded.

"I can't let these two die here… we still have need of them" Ahika's voice was clearly like that of a master merely telling a servant his intentions for formality sakes.

"You dare interfere with my war? You damn lizard! How do you wish to die" Cyrus roared.

"Die? None of you can harm me… I cannot be killed by you or Derik" Ahika voice was calm but it moved the hearts of everyone present.

No matter how they wished to refute his words and shove it down his throat, they couldn't deny his claim. Ahika has always been considered Derik and Cyrus equal, and he is the only one except for Cyrus who successfully defeated Derik in free and fair combat. The only reason Derik and Cyrus were always able to suppress him was simply due to their crazy cultivation speed which has always given them an edge against everyone.

But this time, it's different!
