Sometimes, though very rarely, monsters could look even better than humans in some parts.
The Conqueror Jade Lady was one of those monsters, but the other Jade Ladies weren't nasty creatures and looked like humans unless one gazed into their eyes and looked above the waist.
However, one could never forget that Jade Lady was a monster, her double pupils, wings, and lack of legs were clear proof, moreover, humans couldn't have skin as white as a sheet of paper.
"Conqueror Type...?" Adam muttered, staring at the Jade Lady, he couldn't take his eyes off her. It seemed that her beauty was mesmerizing, the perfect face was enough.
'Yes. She comes right after the North Keeper you defeated during Eclipse. Unlike Thunder Demon, Conqueror Jade Lady usually only appears at night, but it seems Thunder Demon's roar caused her to break from her sleep and come here.' Silvana calmly said.
Then, she continued:
'The regular Jade Ladies can be found in the daytime, as you can see, the Ladies have come for their leader.'
Adam nodded.
"Yeah, I understand. She is Conqueror One, so without subordinates, she would be weaker than all the other Types. If she's that strong, it means she's smart enough to realize that Thunder Demon isn't an opponent she can attack alone." Adam narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Jade Lady, who raised her massive sword in front of her.
Fred breathed a sigh of relief. Out of all the options of who could come to Thunder Demon's roar, Jade Lady was the best, for their battle would be a long one - just enough time for the Phantoms to wait for help.
"Well, it looks like luck is on our side this time... Though I hardly have the right to say that considering how many Thunder Demon has already killed..." Fred muttered with a dark look.
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
Jade Lady's snow-white sword trembled, filling with the power of light like a bringer of heaven. Then, she elegantly raised the sword above her head before abruptly bringing it down.
At the same moment, the smooth blade of light cut through the hundreds of lightning bolts blocking her path, for one purpose only - so that Jade Lady could walk onto the battlefield, along with her subordinates.
Jade Lady's wings came into motion as she quickly found herself in the arena.
Thunder Demon's corners of mouth went up as he tilted his head, in a heartbeat, appearing directly in front of Jade Lady.
Jade Lady's eyes went wide, and all her four purple pupils focused on the horrible opponent in front of her. Although Thunder Demon didn't have wings, his powerful legs were strong enough to jump dozens of meters up.
Thunder Demon, with obvious delight in his eyes, slightly opened his jaw, showing his teeth filled with lightning energy, and then his paw fell on Jade Lady's face, clutching her head tightly.
Whooooooooooooooooooosh.
Just now, Jade Lady marked him as a target for her subordinates, and the mark would only disappear on one condition - when one of them died.
Whoooooooooooooosh.
Immediately, dozens of Ladies rushed forward, aiming their swords at Thunder Demon. Their bodies were now covered in a golden glow, making them much stronger than they were originally.
However... Conqueror Jade Lady had a hidden ability in her enhancement that Thunder Demon was not yet aware of.
Not a few seconds later, dozens of monsters surrounded Thunder Demon, forcing him to defend himself.
...
While Jade Lady and her subordinates were fighting against Thunder Demon, someone quite strong had already reached Iron Beacon.
A few jumps were enough for a man with short black hair and a dark blue coat to climb to the top. Most of his body and clothes were covered in blood, but it already dried, and... only a small portion of that blood belonged to him.
"Damn, it took me longer than I thought to get here. Well, there's not much left." Prago sighed heavily, looking ahead.
Iron Beacon had the best view of the anomalies cluster, from where Prago could see everything in detail.
"What the fuck... Am... I... Am I dreaming?" Prago muttered in disbelief, looking at the Thunder Demon tearing apart the Ladies with gray wings.
'Yeah, you got that right. It all started with the arrival of the dark Phantoms, they were trying to capture Adam, but as you can see, a lot has changed from your original purpose...' The girl, Prago's Operator explained.
Prago glanced at Thunder Demon, at Conqueror Jade Lady, and then his gaze shifted to Tirana hiding behind the salt hill.
After a few seconds, Prago turned to the ruins where Adam, Fred, and the wounded Ester with Romeo were staying.
Prago frowned heavily, literally burning Adam with his gaze.
"Why...? Why is he hiding?"
'Should I ask him that? I can request access to his channel.' The girl asked.
"No, Adelia, don't you dare do that. I'll find out for myself, moreover... it seems I have more important things to do..." Prago said sternly before looking to the east.
A dark disk was rapidly approaching the anomalies cluster, which was another monster responding to Thunder Demon's call, to his invitation to fight.
