Chapter 2110 Defend 3

The news of the Kux magus' death came as a shock. Everyone had seen the strength of Ramos the Blazing Wind, and to think that such a powerful figure could die in less than an hour was something difficult to believe.

While Beatrice and Yord were still questioning the hysterical Kux noble, Emery decisively called out for the rest of the group to finish off the remaining beasts as soon as possible. It becomes more imperative to kill these beasts before their master arrives.

"Ku ku!!"

With Emery's command, Twik went on the offensive and used his mastery over plant elements to create dozens of roots that charged out of the formation aggressively. The ground trembled as thick, sinewy roots erupted, chasing after the desolate beasts.

Simultaneously, VIA unleashed suppressing fire from the plasma turrets. The turrets hummed to life, their barrels glowing with a deadly blue light as they unleashed a relentless barrage of plasma fire. With enough sampling of the tiger's ability, the artificial being was able to calculate the beast's movement more accurately, increasing its hit rate and forcing the beast to retreat.

The coordinated actions were fully intended to create an opening for Emery's next orders.

"The King Rhino first!"

Emery pointed out the crack on the rhino's crystallized right side, a result of Magus Tobin's previous clashes with the beast. Demonstrating flawless teamwork, the turtle half-blood used his immense physique to restrain the king rhino in place. Emery then focused all his strength into one piercing strike enhanced with [Void Blade] aimed directly at the crack.

The beast roared in pain as the blade pierced through, revealing its bleeding flesh.

"Livi Now!!"

The Baphomet swiftly unleashed her powerful innate ability, [Infernal Form]. She turned into flaming smoke and whisked into the exposed flesh, burning the rhino from the inside out.

Emery continues his barrage of attacks from the outside, while Livi creates massive damage from the inside. Within a minute, the gigantic rhino lets out a final, anguished roar before collapsing to the ground, lifeless. Livi emerged in smoke, her face pale, as the innate skill had taken a large amount of her strength.

"Next one!" Emery shouted.

The rhino had been Emery's primary target due to its threat to their defensive formation. With it taken care of, Emery turned his attention to the wounded white tiger. The odds were now in their favor, with three against one.

ROAARR!!!

The gigantic tiger sensed its predicament, and shifted to a defensive stance, calling out to the rest of its pack for protection. Six yellow tigers formed a protective barrier around their leader, their eyes glowing with feral determination.

The old hunchback magus stroked his long beard thoughtfully, a sinister glint appearing in his eyes as they began to glow with an eerie light. Suddenly, the formation barrier surrounding Emery and his companions trembled violently, the air crackling with raw magical energy.

Magus Yord, who was responsible for maintaining the barrier, was instantly overwhelmed. His hands moved frantically, inscribing runes in mid-air, pouring every ounce of his energy into bolstering the faltering defenses. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, evidence of the tremendous effort required to keep the formation intact against such formidable power.

After a minute, the old grand magus frowned, a look of irritation crossing his face. "Annoying formation," he muttered, clearly displeased that his efforts had not yet broken through completely.

Emery stepped forward, his eyes locking onto the Grand Magus with a steely resolve. "We have informed the Magus Alliance. You'd better leave quickly," he declared.

The old grand magus's lips curled into a mocking smile. "You are the one in charge, aren't you?" he said. His gaze shifted to Livi and Twik, "And these two beautiful creatures are yours?" he continued, a predatory gleam in his eyes. "Hand them over to me, and I might let you keep your life."

Not only were Emery's threats ignored, but the grand magus retaliated with his own.

Their tense conversation was abruptly interrupted by a sudden grunt from Grand Magus Ramos. Flames began to form, burning the King Roc's claws as Ramos struggled to break free.

"Elder, you are still alive!" Edgar exclaimed, his face lighting up with hope at the sight of Ramos's resistance.

However, in that very moment, Mo Yan's ability activated, swiftly restraining Ramos. With a casual flick of his finger, Ramos's body was yanked forward, bringing him face-to-face with the hunchbacked grand magus. "You have quite the resistance..." the grand magus remarked, a frown creasing his forehead.

Without warning, the grand magus extended his hand, and a spectral arm materialized, its ghostly fingers wrapping around Ramos. The Kux grand magus's spirit was forcefully wrenched from his body. The ethereal manifestation of Ramos struggled violently, attempting to break free from the spectral arm's grasp.

The grand magus's eyes glowed with a malevolent light as he tightened his grip on Ramos's spirit. The spectral arm shimmered with dark energy, and the Kux grand magus's ghostly form writhed in agony, its attempts to escape growing weaker by the second.

This was undoubtedly the grand magus's method of enslaving his target, an ability that struck fear into the hearts of those witnessing it.

Emery's gaze hardened as he watched the horrifying display. The realization that Mo Yan had the power to turn a grand magus like Ramos into a mere puppet was chilling.

"No!! No!! Help him!!" shouted Edgar, his voice filled with desperation.

Emery understood the gravity of the situation but remained motionless. The stakes were high, yet his attempts to gauge the grand magus's true strength had been frustratingly fruitless. Despite VIA's and his own efforts to analyze Mo Yan, they had gleaned nothing beyond his last known historical data. This lack of information only underscored the formidable nature of Mo Yan's spirit defense, which effectively concealed his abilities.

While Emery deliberated, the hunchback magus turned his attention to Riven, the Kux formation expert, and commanded, "This will take several minutes. Now, I want you to prove your worth and destroy that formation before I am finished."

"Yes, master,"
