Amber Sword

With such chaotic thoughts, he went over and thrust his sword toward Roman.

But just at that moment, Miss Merchant suddenly lifted her head.

Marquis Youxi never imagined he would witness such a scene. He saw a pair of eyes, pure black, with no whites or pupils, like a pair of black holes, seemingly ready to swallow his soul.

He was startled and instinctively wanted to retreat, but it was too late. Suddenly, Miss Merchant reached out and grabbed his neck with terrifying strength. Then, with a distorted voice, she asked, "Who are you?"

Marquis Youxi dared to swear by his life and any remaining reputation—if he had any—that he had never heard such a frightening voice, like the wind howling through a rugged valley, chilling to the bone.

He shivered instinctively.

"You’re not her, who... are you?"

He heard a cold laugh.

And then, just like that, Marquis Youxi—the brother of Erune’s reigning king—slumped to one side, completely losing his soul.

Inside the cave, it was as if there was a brief silence, and then Roman rustled and crawled up from the ground.

"That hurt..."

"White Mist, are you there?"

"What just happened?" She looked blankly at the lifeless corpse of Marquis Youxi lying on the ground, appearing somewhat perplexed.

White Mist was silent for a moment.

"There’s something inside your body," she replied coldly, "But this isn’t the time to talk about it. You’d better hurry up, or your little boyfriend might be breathing his last."

"Ah!" Roman was startled and quickly jumped up, hobbling on one foot toward the control room.

...

The battlefield was almost silent.

Brand found it difficult to lift his head to see the situation on the Princess’s side. He only saw countless demons crossing the battlefield, like a crimson sea spilling over two Titans, finally approaching the teleportation gate below. And the Staff Lady stood dazed by the gate, as if waiting for the final moment to come.

The sound in his perception had already faded away. He quietly stared at the Titan Statue, which had stopped working for some time, and beside it, another Titan was shakily standing up, covered in wounds caused by Brand. If you hadn’t seen it yourself, you would hardly believe that such a broken Constructed Creature could still continue to function.

But this was the masterpiece of the Bujia Wizard.

Brand was still waiting, waiting for a final answer.

This answer came quickly.

Suddenly, the Titan Statue that had been stationary by the teleportation gate started to move slowly. Its first action, under everyone’s gaze, suddenly raised a fist and stabbed a Lightning long spear into the companion beside it.

The already teetering Titan had barely a thread of ability to move, and this strike was undoubtedly the last straw to break the camel’s back. After a blazing flash of light, the Lightning pierced through its head, and the enormous head exploded like a watermelon.

Of course, the unlucky operator inside was instantly obliterated.

"Yes!"

Miss Merchant holding the Crystal Ball almost immediately let out a cheer.

Despite grimacing in pain as all her wounds pulled, tears streaming down her face, she displayed a smug expression and loudly said, "White Mist, White Mist, did you see, I said Brand would definitely make me the greatest merchant!"

"Deal with what’s here first," White Mist replied, annoyed.

Roman eagerly placed her hand on the Crystal Ball, observing the situation outside. The core of the opposing Titan Statue was damaged, and the control room had been blown away, rendering it thoroughly scrapped. However, there were many demons on the battlefield, and she was frowning, considering how to deal with these creatures.

At this moment, she heard a small voice calling her from below.

"Miss Roman, attack the teleportation gate! The three nodes are right above you!"

Curious, Roman lowered her head and widened her eyes upon seeing the tiny figure of Antitina below, like a little ant: "Ah, it’s Antitina!" She immediately stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: "Alright, got it, watch this, young lady!"

She raised the Crystal Ball, which immediately emitted a bright light.

"Lord Roman’s super powerful strike!"

With a loud bang, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the arms of the remaining Titan Statue suddenly fell off naturally, crashing down on top of the Demon Army approaching the teleportation gate.

"Whoa!" Even Brand couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart upon seeing this. At this critical moment, this Merchant Lady actually messed up again!

And the most pivotal point was that she could actually disassemble her own Titan! He had been wondering if the Titan accidentally killed by his deflection would hold the record as the most embarrassing Titan death, but now someone had quickly helped him redefine the limits.

Unfortunately, from every angle, this person was his fiancée.

"Ah..." But it’s not just Brand; even Roman was frightened. She looked around, frowning as she answered, "This thing is really fragile, it broke on its own."

Even the composed Lord Contract Spirit couldn’t help but roll her eyes at her.

"But that’s okay, I can still attack!" Miss Merchant waved her hand dismissively, and the Crystal Ball in her hand glowed again. Her Titan suddenly leaned backward and then charged headfirst into the teleportation gate, with smooth, perfect execution, as if rehearsed countless times.

Headbutt!

And it hit the target precisely.

Due to the wide range of the Titan’s attack, the three nodes of the teleportation gate almost simultaneously shattered.

And in the next moment, the golden-red aura emitted brilliant light, and after a violent tremor, it entirely disintegrated. Then came a terrifying explosion and dazzling flames, blooming like fireworks.

Of course, the first to be hit head-on was the Titan of Miss Merchant, which had its head against the teleportation gate. This massive creature was flung like a paper sheet by the terrifying explosive force, and then crashed heavily into the Demon Army.

Its inertia caused it to roll, like a siege engine smashing through the demons. The demons on the ground were immediately unfortunate. They were originally charging toward the teleportation gate, but now clearly no teleportation was needed, as Lord Roman’s Titan would naturally send them back to the River of Sulfur—whether they liked it or not.

Wherever the Titan went, flesh and blood flew.

Since it was created, no one had used it in this manner to kill enemies. Admittedly, the efficiency was very high.

Brand couldn’t help but smile wryly.

At last, he watched the final teleportation gate, which faded away like fireworks in the rainy night, his body feeling unprecedentedly relaxed. He couldn’t help but gently close his eyelids, waiting for the final moment to arrive.

At least it wasn’t complete failure, right?

But just then.

Suddenly, a stream of golden light pierced straight down through the clouds.

The last image in Brand’s mind was a pair of golden eyes.
