As his body reached the maximum synergy with the star-devouring beast, Emery sensed the incoming three cosmos grand magus. With the spirit master still recuperating, it fell to him alone to block the attack.
"HOOWLLL!!!"
His body became enveloped in Khaos energy, his claws elongating and radiating with dark power. Using spatial-induced movement, Emery intercepted Isaiah's path with incredible speed. The impact of their clash was intense, massive claws meeting with a force that sent shockwaves through the vault, pushing both of them back a dozen steps. Emery felt the overwhelming strength Isaiah possessed, his massive arm going numb from that single clash.
As the smoke began to dissipate, Emery came face to face with the grand magus traitor. Isaiah, with an amused expression, sneered, "What kind of half-blood are you?!"
Emery stayed vigilant, aware that even with a combination of Stage 9 Immortal Gate and Primal Transformation, he was not a match for Isaiah. Behind him, the grand magus summoner had already begun respawning his minions. Emery glanced towards the spirit master for a solution. The man, who had just consumed the pill, spoke to Emery's mind.
<I can sense reinforcements. They will arrive in two minutes. When they do, I will open up the path. Please take the Lord and my lady to safety!>
Emery nodded, understanding that this was their best option. He readied himself for a defensive plan to buy time until the reinforcements arrived. His muscles tensed, claws at the ready, eyes locked onto Isaiah.
"Fine, it doesn't matter. All dead beasts are the same!" Isaiah snarled before changing his tactic. He channeled cosmic energy into his arms, forming the shape of deadly blades, and charged forward with incredible speed.
Knowing the next two minutes would be one of the hardest fights, Emery called upon the Khaos guarding within him. "Killgragah, I am counting on you!"
[Dagger Cemetery]
It was a powerful spell that was terrifyingly able to synergize with the grand magus' Battlefield Domain, enhancing the already deadly field with a new level of lethality. The daggers moved with a mind of their own, weaving through the air with precise, predatory movements.
Isaiah didn't cast the spell to keep the reinforcements from entering the vault. Instead, he let them inside and blocked their way out. As he raised his arm toward them, the daggers seemed to sense his intent. They hovered for a moment before diving toward the magus guards with blinding speed.
Screams of pain echoed through the vault as the daggers found their marks. Shockingly, they began to spurt out from inside the guards' bodies, tearing them apart from within. The sight was horrific, blood spraying as the enchanted blades wreaked havoc. Even the two grand magus fell to their knees, vomiting blood.
"Hahaha, die!! Die!!" Isaiah's maniacal laughter filled the vault, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure. Emery watched in horror as the Karat forces were decimated. The reinforcements, who were supposed to turn the tide, were now being slaughtered by the daggers emerging from within them.
Isaiah then turned his attention back to Emery, intent on finishing the job. However, just as he prepared to strike, his domain began to tremble ominously.
Emery sensed a surge of light energy emanating from behind him. Turning, he saw Lord Hassa enveloped in a brilliant golden aura, his eyes gleaming with determination as he spoke to Emery.
"Thank you, I'll take it from here!"
Emery watched in awe as a glowing rune on Lord Hassa's forehead shimmered with cosmic power. Golden energy surged within him, and in an instant, dozens of shimmering golden layers burst forth around him. These layers coalesced into a majestic, palace-like structure of radiant energy, its brilliance overwhelming the darkness of Isaiah's daggers.
Forming cosmic energy into the shape of a golden palace was something only possible within the realm of the three cosmos. Such a display showcased the extent of Lord Hassa's strength, radiating an aura of protection and strength. Its formidable presence shattered the deadly blades that Isaiah had conjured. Seeing this, Isaiah sneered with a hint of derision. "My Lord, congratulations on breaking through to the high stage, but unless you break into three cosmos, you cannot defeat me!"
Lord Hassa's usual warm expression hardened into one of fierce determination. "Yes, you are right. Unfortunately for you, you picked the wrong place to fight!"
With those words, Lord Hassa's hands began to glow with radiant golden energy. Multiple golden artifacts from the treasure display around them flew into the air, hovering around him. As he channeled his cosmic power into each artifact, a dozen towering golden golems emerged from the ground. Each golem shimmered with cosmic energy, their formidable presence matching that of a grand magus. The ground trembled beneath their colossal feet as the golden golems stood ready, their eyes glowing with a fierce determination that mirrored Lord Hassa's resolve. Emery watched in awe as the grand magus battle commenced right in front of him.
