"Infinite Wood World!" In Lydia's clouded mind, she activated a massive attack.
Quickly, the barren ground blasted by the explosion began to glow green as plants began to grow and twist upward.
Then, under the shock of the members of the Twilight Alliance, the plants started binding them like snakes.
"What is this?"
"Wood magic? How can it be so strong? I can't get it off me."
"Blast it with fire!"
In a panic, they hurriedly tried to pry away the plants binding on them.
Seeing this, Lydia just smiled coldly, "Life Drain!"
Like a devil's vines, the plants began to suck away their power and vitality.
As it sucked their power, the plants started to grow and tower over them, making them weaker and weaker.
"Not good!"
"Leopold, do something about this! I don't want to die under this pariah!"
"Leopold, damn it! Hurry up and move!"
"We pay you to protect us! Do something quickly, or I will report you to my family."
Hearing their words, Leopold could only shake his head.
"What a bunch of weaklings..."
Activating his power and using a tier 12 ultimate treasure, fire quickly burned the ground, freeing them from the plants' bindings.
"Huh~ Close!"
"I didn't expect a pariah would trap us in this disgrace!"
"You're dead, bitch!"
While they were screaming and charging forward at Lydia, Kael, who quickly broke through the plant bindings, looked gloomy.
Sneaking behind Lydia, Kael tried to take her life in one fell swoop.
However, as his sword was about to strike Lydia, a golden barrier popped up.
Clang~
Noticing the enemy behind her, Lydia attacked back.
However, Kael just smiled at such a useless struggle.
He was initially a tier 10 powerhouse, and although he was suppressed and couldn't even use the origin of law, the amplitude of his power was vastly different.
As for the life barrier, Kael just thought it was a barrier treasure.
Exchanging a few blows, the members of the Twilight Alliance grew closer and closer.
Lydia's anger was also boiling to the extreme; the green glow she initially had now looked eerie, like the colors of a devil.
Stretching forward her hand, Lydia shot an attack at Kael.
"Wood Imprisonment!"
"Life Drain!"
"Infinite Wood Tree!"
Under the conjunction of these three attacks, Lydia's energy and all the energy she absorbed from her earlier attack were quickly drained.
Kael, seeing he couldn't dodge, just smiled.
"No matter what you do, you can't hurt me."
"You people are just mere tricksters, exploiting the mind of my young master."
In Kael's mind, Vaelin only lost because of his weak mind.
If Vaelin could be patient, he could defeat everyone and bring them to their knees.
Unfortunately, this possibility was no longer possible.
Looking at Lydia, he clenched the weapon in his hand and attacked with all his might, not noticing his body was becoming wood-textured.
"Too late. Now die!" Lydia said coldly.
Before the attack reached Lydia, Kael froze. His body turned into wood, planting him to the ground.
However, by buying some tier-12 materials, he could still create something of value.
Lily's necklace is one of such.
Maximus engraved it with the rune of maxim, providing unlimited energy, mana, power of law, and essence of law.
With the bearing capacity of a tier 12 material, it could supply lily with almost unlimited energy.
Unfortunately, a tier 12 material was still too expensive.
Just a few grams of it cost hundreds of millions of original coins, which Maximus couldn't afford to mass produce.
Meanwhile, Leopold, the leader of the group, was already looking for an escape path.
Even with a tier 10 realm and a tier 12 treasure, Leopold didn't have enough confidence to defeat the enemy.
Taking a few influential members of the Twilight Alliance, he quickly escaped.
Seeing this, Lily frowned and concentrated a rain of swords towards Leopold.
Unfortunately, although Leopold didn't have the confidence to win, as the leader of the Twilight Alliance, he still had a skill or two.
Escaping like walking out of his house, Leopold quickly disappeared from the battlefield.
As for the other remaining members, Lily no longer bothered.
"Kill them," with Lily's order, the other seven Valkyries began to move, slaughtering all the enemy in their sight.
...
Far away from the battlefield, Leopold and a few others who were escaping suddenly stopped in their tracks.
"Who are you?!"
"What?! I know the two behind; it's the Bloodthirsty Ashuras."
"Hmm? From the Shadowcrest outpost?" Leopold frowned, feeling danger.
Especially the man in front—looking at his eyes, it seemed that Leopold was already sentenced to death.
"You don't need to know. Kill everyone," Nathan said coldly.
"Finally, some action~" Silvan muttered.
"Brother, did I hear it right? Father said we can kill them as we want?" Martin asked excitedly.
"Well... but remember the rules Father set: no blood. You must kill them cleanly."
"Oh," although Martin was a little disappointed, he still felt excited regardless.
With Nathan's signal, Zoe, Silvan, and Martin charged toward the enemy.
"Escape on your own; I'll hold them back," Leopold said gravely.
Although these people were not as noble as Vaelin, they still had some background.
Hoping to reduce his punishment, he would do his best to protect these people.
Hearing Leopold, they didn't ask much and quickly escaped.
"You can't escape..."
"Silvan, Martin, I'll leave this man to you. We'll get the others," Nathan quickly planned the course of action.
"Roger that, Father!"
Seeing Nathan and Zoe rushing toward the enemy, Leopold quickly stopped them.
However, before he could, he felt wind coming through his neck.
With quick reflexes, he blocked a knife with an energy barrier.
"You are ours," Silvan said.
"Then I'll kill you first, brat," Leopold said angrily.
Mobilizing his power, he attacked Silvan back.
Unfortunately, he only hit an empty space.
Soon, he felt a tearing sensation behind his back and saw Silvan attacking him.
"This is too repetitive," Leopold said, quickly blocking the attack.
However, to his surprise, his attack passed through Silvan as the sword in Silvan's hand continued to lodge in his throat.
"Not happening," with awareness of a tier 10 powerhouse, Leopold blocked with his other hand.
"You're not easy..." Silvan said, retreating.
