Chapter 366 - 367: Farewell, Aster Grant!
"Damn it!"
"Veronica, Celesia, defend with all your might! Delay them as much as possible!"
Bianca Shelby saw the tide-like Demon Clan and gave a heavy order.
Although there seemed no hope of escape, it did not mean they would sit still and wait for death.
Even knowing escape was impossible...
No one showed fear because of death.
"Understood!"
Veronica was the first to respond.
Her hands formed seals, spiritual power surged around her, and two dazzling lights burst from her body:
"White Monarch! Nether Spirit Leopard! Release—all restrictions lifted!"
Roar—!
The White Monarch howled at the sky, its form expanding rapidly in the light, white fur burning like silver flames, the terrifying pressure of Monarch Peak sweeping outward.
The Nether Spirit Leopard transformed into a shadowy stream of light, its claws swiping as ripples spread in space, also displaying the formidable power of Monarch Peak.
Full release restored the two Beastbond creatures to Monarch Peak strength!
Then, the two Beastbond creatures transformed into streams of light, one white and one black, boldly rushing into the demon horde.
Wherever they went, demon beasts fell like harvested wheat, instantly clearing a vacuum area!
Cecilia’s eyes flashed with determination.
She cut her wrist, offering her blood as a sacrifice.
The Vampire Prince absorbed the blood, and his originally pale skin immediately took on blood-colored patterns.
They transformed into a blood-colored storm, devouring approaching demon beasts.
Adjacent to Bianca Shelby, apart from the Succubus...
All other Beastbond creatures were severely injured in the previous battles and were stored in the Beastbond Space.
"Succubus, use all spiritual power! Spiritual Shock!"
Under Bianca Shelby’s command, the Succubus did not hesitate and immediately sprang into action.
The current Succubus under Bianca Shelby’s control had been thoroughly trained.
She was no longer the opportunistic, cowardly Succubus she once was.
Under Bianca Shelby’s cultivation, she had become a qualified Beastbond creature.
With Bianca Shelby, Veronica, and Cecilia unleashing their full power unabashedly.
They managed to temporarily restrain the demon tide’s offensive!
However, this glorious victory lasted only for a moment.
The number of demon beasts was simply too vast, seemingly endless.
Though strong, the White Monarch and Nether Spirit Leopard began to bear wounds under the tide-like assaults.
After burning vital blood, the auras of the two Vampire Princes began to falter.
The Succubus’s Spiritual Shock effect also started to weaken.
More terrifying was the Totem-level Demon Clan leader, now moving into action.
Slowly, it raised its massive claw covered in bone spikes, destruction energy began to gather upon it.
"Crack—"
Mere space swipe from the Totem-level Demon Clan leader, terrifying shockwaves vehemently struck!
White Monarch, Succubus, Nether Spirit Leopard, and the two Vampire Princes, like leaves swept by a gale, were instantly thrown and slammed heavily to the ground, their auras instantly wilting.
The last standing forces were dismantled, which meant Bianca Shelby and the others had completely lost the ability to resist.
It truly ends here!
"Prepare to self-destruct!"
Bianca Shelby gazed at the looming tide-like Demon Clan, her voice was low but with a strange calmness.
She knew clearly that once captured, they would face fates worse than death with humiliation and torture.
Rather than that, it was better to preserve their last dignity, perishing together with these demon beasts.
"Mmh!"
Veronica and Celesia exchanged a glance, seeing the same choice in each other’s eyes.
They did not object, merely nodded silently, beginning to reverse the remaining spiritual power within.
An extremely unstable energy wave, filled with destruction, began to emanate from the three of them.
However, just when they were about to ignite themselves...
An abrupt anomaly occurred!
Rumble!
The black canopy above, formed by dense Demonic Qi isolating inside and outside, suddenly emitted an ear-splitting cracking noise!
"Crack! Crack!"
Massive cracks spread like spider webs across the canopy, instantly drawing all eyes on the battlefield.
The surging demon tide momentarily halted, even the Totem-level Demon leader about to deliver the final strike raised its head in astonishment, its crimson eyes fixed upon the sky.
Bianca Shelby and the others also instinctively ceased their self-destruction, staring in amazement at the sky.
What is happening?!
Could it be reinforcement?
As soon as this thought arose, they themselves dismissed it.
There was no way the Human Race could learn of the situation here so quickly; other races were even less likely to intervene for them.
In the next moment, the answer was revealed!
Boom—!
Accompanied by an earth-shaking thunderous roar, the entire Demon Energy Barrier shattered!
The long-awaited, faint daylight streamed through the shattered dome.
Simultaneously, countless emerald green vines like a torrent of life poured down from the rupture in the canopy!
These vines were incredibly lively, seemingly having eyes, accurately avoiding Bianca Shelby and others, actively coiling like serpents around every demon clan present.
The vines shimmered with an unusual luster, and once they ensnared a demon clan...
They crazily absorbed its Demonic Qi and life essence; ensnared demon clans managed only to emit half a shrill wail before rapidly withering and shriveling, ultimately becoming nutrients for the vines’ growth!
This eerie and powerful scene left the survivors Bianca Shelby and others dumbfounded.
"What are these...things?" Veronica murmured.
She could sense the aura emitted by these vines wasn’t particularly strong, yet they effortlessly annihilated the demon clan.
Soon, they saw the master of the vines.
A graceful figure bathed in beams of light descending through the cracks, slowly arriving.
She wore a green gown, had pointed ears and emerald eyes, exuding rich life aura, starkly contrasting the demonic land.
"Vera!"
Bianca Shelby, Veronica, and Celesia simultaneously recognized the newcomer, their pupils contracting sharply.
If Vera was here, then doesn’t that mean...
Their eyes hurriedly searched the sky and sure enough, soon beside Vera’s not far mid-air, they saw that familiar figure—
Aster Grant!
At this moment, Aster Grant was floating in the air with closed eyes, his aura absorbing the abundant energy released by the mass lethality of the demon clan like a greedy void.
Ever since acquiring the Divine Pattern, his level stalled.
Every time the energies released by slain demon clans were nearly entirely absorbed by the Divine Pattern.
But now...
Three Divine Patterns perfected.
Now, energies released by the slain demon clan were all absorbed by him directly.
"Unfortunately...mostly are Low Tier demon clans, the energy is still too thin." Aster Grant felt slightly regretful.
Vera swept almost all of the Low-tier demon clan on the battlefield, yet his level only advanced from King First Level to Second Level.
He slowly opened his eyes now and also noticed Bianca Shelby and others amidst the battlefield.
With a flash of his form, he appeared instantly before the trio, an evident surprise on his face:
"Class Leader? Veronica, Celesia? You’re leading this exploration mission?"
Seeing Aster Grant again, especially being rescued by him in such dire straits, Bianca Shelby, Veronica, and Celesia momentarily felt a bit dazed.
Facing the familiar figure whose aura was unfathomable, whose every move could reverse the battle, they felt complex emotions.
