Amber Sword

It was indeed the case; however, the retribution came quicker than it expected. It felt that this claw attack had at least severely injured this human, and the next moment, a burst of golden flame exploded from Brando.

In the rain-filled air, those flames looked more like splattered blood.

Sunflame Blood.

The Holy Temple Knight’s reflective skill immediately demonstrated its might to the Long-Horned Demon, as golden blood splattered all over its face and started to burn fiercely. Even its retracted claw was coated in a layer of golden fire. This flame was clearly not just for show; the intense, piercing pain made the demon scream in agony.

Brando also felt a piercing pain. However, he gritted his teeth and took a step forward, seizing the moment while the Long-Horned Demon was clutching its face and screaming, pouncing like a beast, and plunged the Earth Sword into the demon’s throat.

The demon’s screams were abruptly silenced.

Then, another black hole appeared in front of Brando, which also dragged back the demon’s corpse before closing completely into a line.

And only then did Brando, exhausted, collapse to the ground, as if the pain finally returned to him, and the rain washed over his torn skin wounds, causing him to draw a sharp breath. Antitina rushed hurriedly to his side, quickly draping the cloak of the King of Giants over him.

"Lord!"

"Well done, Antitina." Brando replied with a twitch of his lips, but even so he didn’t forget to reach out and try to grab the relic left by the Long-Horned Demon before it fell into the rain.

It was a silver cylindrical object, which Brando couldn’t immediately recognize. However, it was a demon’s relic, and letting a Holy Temple Knight from the Flame Temple see it would make it difficult for him to keep it.

After all, carrying demon items was never good reputation-wise, and Brando didn’t want this detail to attract attention. Truth be told, he already had a lot of labels on him. Even Wood had previously asked him about the Heavenly Armament, though the Wind Spirit Spider was essentially not a Heavenly Armament, but Holy Sword Skill itself was equally ambiguous.

Unexpectedly, his grasp activated his wound, almost causing him to cry out in pain, and he didn’t manage to grab it. Instead, Antitina grabbed it, "Let me help you with this, and at least pay more attention to your own body." The Staff Lady said a little angrily.

Brando glanced at her and suddenly realized something, a slight stir in his heart.

...

Meanwhile, the only surviving Long-Horned Demon wasn’t having much luck either. In fact, it had just taken two steps when suddenly a flame swept before it.

Its own element was fire, but upon seeing the approaching golden flames, it couldn’t help but let out a piercing scream.

One was Law Fire from Elemental Enlightenment, and the other was golden flame from the Side of Truth. The difference between these was immense. The flames divided into countless little demons, consuming them completely and reaching its front in an instant. It tried to turn and flee, but it was already too late.

A longsword emerged from the flames, aiming straight at its throat. The Long-Horned Demon desperately mobilized the Law Threads around it to try and stop it, but in Elemental Rank clashes, the elements’ attribute restriction was strongest when similar attributes had different tier levels.

The Demons’ fire element was generally magma, and unfortunately, Nicholas’s element was nearly the same as Flame King Gilte’s Elemental Fire; when the two flames touched, the Long-Horned Demon’s claw was instantly turned to ash.

Then the golden longsword burned a hole in its throat in an instant.

The third black hole appeared in the heavy rain.

By this time, Char and Gallock were already ready with the next spell, and another light beam pierced through the long night. This time, the beam hit directly above the already dim teleportation gate, and a dazzling golden aura exploded over the gate.

All creatures within the vicinity witnessed this scene.

In the hills near the coastal area, animals hiding in the forest trees stared wide-eyed in terror at the golden aura in the sky. It seemed to expand in an instant, sweeping across half the sky before vanishing into thin air.

Not just Ambeser.

Even in the battlefield near Bunoan Guard City, amidst intense fighting, people noticed the explosion. The golden light illuminating half the sky was hard for anyone to miss.

The soldiers on the battlefield only paused slightly to realize what had happened, because everyone knew the purpose of this battle. Even amidst such intense clashes, cheers erupted and echoed through the sky.

Medusa Lady Lismeka and the Minotaur Lord Stark beside her simultaneously turned their heads north of Ambeser.

The explosion’s light cast their faces pale white. Behind them, the King of Chaos Meisika displayed displeasure on its three gigantic heads; the leftmost head, resembling a goat’s, sniffed the air—a whiff of blood stench carried by the rain.

"The space is trembling intensely."

"One of the teleportation gates to the north is gone."

"Humans are attacking us from behind, is this how Valabar repays the Lord’s trust?" the three heads spoke simultaneously.

The lizard-like head appeared calm, the goat’s head looked clever, while the human head bore a fierce expression. The King of Chaos Meisika was a renowned Lord in Hell, but his greatest enemy was the Dark Elves. In comparison, more research on humans was done by the Deceitful King Valabar, who sent most of the demons to engage with human magicians.

However, few demons liked the soft, wizard-like Lord, rumored to have been a human in life. Unlike Meisika, who was born in the River of Sulfur thousands of years ago, its body flowed with chaotic blood.

Medusa Lady Lismeka dared not respond.

Meisika didn’t care to hear them either, for the colossal entity suddenly moved, making its whole body semi-transparent. The next moment, it had completely disappeared.

"He went..." Lismeka sighed in relief.

"Should we go and take a look too?" The Minotaur Lord still looked terrified.

Lismeka gave him a cold glance.

"Fool, our task is here."
