Eternal Emerald Dragon

Chapter 954 - 953 - Power of the 4 Guardians

Mycea cackled as she unleashed an arc of Fiend lightning against the smoldering wall of the 3rd branch of the Frey Clan. The defenses were impressive but they were failing!

A few more strikes and it would be over at last. They had used up a trump card to escape their imprisonment but it would be worth it if they could destroy or claim Frey City!

Widow was assaulting the main city but Mycea was in command of the other forces assaulting the branches. The formations were as powerful as expected but the limits were coming!

"You planned well, Lind Frey, but without Immortals, your little defenses wear out very quickly!" It was a simple matter of supply and demand. Immortal cultivators had far more Qi to supply to formations and weavings.

Without the numbers they usually had, the Fiends could exhaust them by forcefully consuming their livestock for maximum attacks for every attempt!

"Lady Mycea, we will soon feast on Frey souls!" A massively muscled Fiend floated near her with a vile joy on his face. She felt her own perfect body twitching in anticipation. She would lay claim to Zao Frey in the current branch.

He had frustrated her with his siblings at many battles! He also called her ugly!

She had crafted her body to perfection always and she would not let a boy get away with insulting her. She would parade his withered corpse for all to see!

She was conjuring a new attack when a chill went down her spine. She used her attack to push herself out of the sky as an emerald glaive sliced the man in 2! If she had stayed next to him, she would have been next!

"Who dares?!" She had not sensed any cultivator. How had someone gotten so close?!

"You have kept me busy but despite their patience, Fiends are quite cowardly." A voice came from above and she reacted again to dodge to the side as a sword of emerald light sliced through where she had been.

It was pure harmonic Qi of the worst kind!

Yet she still felt no cultivator!

"You have good reflexes but your awareness is not so good." She felt rages as she grasped the dark robes on her body. Qi exploded outward in all directions as she had triggered the inscriptions on it!

It was one of the many things they had found in the ancient cache to the northeast.

The robes on her could kill with a touch of her hand!

Shockingly, she felt no response to her attack. Any living cultivator should have been hurt in their soul! How was she being attacked by a weapon that–

The instant she thought of it the truth came to light! A spirit weapon with full sentience!

"Protean!" Only 1 weapon existed like that and had that Qi!

A young man appeared with a smile but he was not alone! Shimmering lights of natural Qi descended with thundering waves of power!

Elementals!

"You really think he would leave the Clan undefended?" The mocking smile did not affect her as Mycea was the one to smile now.

"You are here but who will stop our main force?" She might have problems but they could not be everywhere.

Protean sneered as he pointed up with 1 finger.

"I think a story my Creator once told me is appropriate. You reap what you sow!" The sky above darkened as space was torn open and 4 people appeared!

She could not make out 3 of them but 1 stood out. Emerald hair and crimson robes slightly battered. Lind Frey was back!

How?! How had he come back so quickly?!

It should have taken weeks to get to the nearest teleportation array and spatial tears could take years to get back!

"IMPOSSIBLE!!" She screamed as she flung her attack at the smiling man. His robes shifted into black shields with emerald lines. Her Qi may as well have been glass or paper for all the effect it had!

"You are not leaving today!" He screamed as he transformed into a massive sword and came at her. She raged as her battle began but she put faith in Widow killing most of the Frey Clan before Lind could save them.

The Clan would still fall. They would all die!

Lind was exhausted. The Alpha and Omega Art returned an area to its peak state with Celestial, natural, and demonic Qi. For most areas that would not have much effect but against Fiends it was devastating.

The cost was massive as it took nearly all he had to pull it off. He then forced a spatial tear back to the Clan.

Delenn was there but she was likely supplying her more powerful Immortal Qi to the defenses to buy time.

He saw several branches had curling smoke rising but he quickly confirmed all his children in the vicinity were alive. They were injured in several places but nothing permanent.

Sally was actually more concerned about Lysanna as she had taken a direct hit by Fiend Qi but her robes protected her. Lind made damned sure she had just as much protection from the bastards as he could.

Still, the fact it hurt her was bad. It meant the power of the attack exceeded the Shard Tier!

"Uncle, you are depleted. Recover and we will defend you." Illyria looked concerned as out of anyone aside from Ethry, she could feel his true state.

"We have no time. Delenn cannot keep the outer wall defenses up much longer and the inner wall will fall with it. Millions will die if I try to recover. Feng, arrange us." He deferred to Feng at that moment.

Feng placed Illyria to the north, the tigress to the west, Lind to the east, and herself to the south.

"We will each need to feel our bloodlines. As both Lind and the tigress are progenitors, I am unsure of how effective this will be as we are not all balanced. You must reach out to the Heavens and ask for aid. We will become conduits. We have to hurry before more Fiends notice us." Illyria nodded but Lind noticed the tigress was reluctant.

"You side with them?" Her silvery eyes looked angry but she then crossed her arms under her breasts.

"My cultivation is sealed and I have no sense of my bloodline thanks to you. You would have to restore me for this to work." Her voice was a pout but her words were accurate.

Lind sighed before his eyes glowed. All 3 felt the pressure of a True Lord!

"In this instance only, you are a progenitor once again. Betray us, and you will die." Thunder rumbled and the Fiends below were closing in. The tigress looked unhappy but then felt shocked as a spark of lightning nearly struck her.

"All right!" She looked annoyed but they each joined hands. The moment they did, black clouds boiled above them and pressure descended. All the beings below froze.

Lind felt strange. He had communicated with Heaven and Earth before, but the current moment felt very different. It was like the 4 of them were slowly coming in sync in ways he had never considered.

Before anyone realized what was happening, emerald and silver harmonies rose like a bonfire to the east and west! Feng felt her own bloodline respond and veridian flames rose from her body. Illyria was the last as an azure aura came from her.

All 4 suddenly opened their eyes at once but it was no longer cultivators looking out.

[Request received and enemy confirmed. Punishment for the traitors will commence.] All 4 spoke and their voices reached everyone!

Widow looked up in terror as she tried to move but a pair of emerald eyes locked onto her.

[You will not leave here alive today. The war is over.]

It was Lind Frey's voice but she saw something larger looking at her. Heaven could see them! It could see them and it was enraged!

The 4 guardian beasts had invoked their right! The Celestial Fields was massive but all the Immortal Fiends were in one place!

They had come to strike at the heart of the Frey Clan but Lind Frey was going to win again!

"I REFUSE! I REFUSE TO BOW!" A sudden visage appeared in her mind. A large shadow with glowing eyes and she smiled. The Great One would turn the tide once more in their favor.

[Foolish tool. I cannot save you from this. You will die but I can make it worth your while.] His words drained all hope but then power filled her body as her eyes glowed with Divine Will.

[No one can save my tools but you will die here!] Widow extended her hand as if no restriction was on her. Lighting tried to strike her but she waved her other hand like swatting a gnat!

[I said no one, and I meant it!] A disdain filled her voice as the frozen form of Lind Frey remained locked in the guardian position. He could not move until the punishment was done. It was a double edged sword.

Divine Fiend lightning tore Widow apart but she smiled as it raced to Lind Frey. Nothing could save him! He was going to die!

A shadow shot out of the center of Frey City but then bounced off of some kind of wall. Delenn had broken her nose and screamed in rage but Lind merely looked and something changed.

[Traitor of All, we are here.] A chorus of voices suddenly came from all 4 as the ghostly image of ancient beasts surrounded them all. The deadly lighting was deflected to the sky where Heaven and Earth quashed it.

An fading shadow screamed in rage as the spirits intervened once more! The power of the guardians had been fully invoked by Shard Tiers!

[You will face me again and there will be no escape. I promise this. The spirits cannot stop me forever!] The fading voice was full of anger but no one paid attention as massive lighting bolts smashed into all the Fiends and turned them to ash!

The storm seemed to last an eternity before the sky finally cleared. The smoldering walls and defenses had fallen as well but no cultivator was harmed. The 4 began to fall but Delenn caught them with her Arts.

The 2 battles were over. Many had died but none would forget the power of Lind Frey and now the divine guardian beast bloodlines. Other divine beasts bowed in acknowledgement and called out in their voices to honor the ancestors as the 4 were taken to a healing hall.
