Meg had used his flying sword to protect the beauty in front of him, slicing through the saber with a single strike, slicing through the tree spear with a single strike, and sending Cade flying with a single strike.
In a battle between powerful beings, time seemed to have lengthened, but in reality, all of this had only taken place in the blink of an eye.
Cade crashed to the ground over 10 meters away, and his chest had caved in as if it had been struck by a sledgehammer. He lay sprawled on the ground with blood gushing out of his mouth, and his aura was gradually fading away.
The forest troll withdrew its tree branch, and its entire body was stained with green blood. Even one of its arms had been severed, and it was howling in agony.
Gajeel released his grip on the hilt of his saber and hurtled back in retreat, trying to get as far away from Meg as possible.
He was Alex!
His sword was the Tian Du Sword, and Alex was the only person in this world who could wield a heavy sword in such an intricate and unpredictable manner.
He had seen that sword technique countless times in his nightmares.
Five years ago, when he had first met Alex, he had surrendered after taking a single sword strike.
The last time he had seen him was three years ago, and he had almost been killed by Alex's sword strike.
On this occasion, he was still unable to take a single sword strike from Alex.
"Why are you still alive?! Why can you still return to your peak condition?! This is impossible … Impossible … Are you a demon?! "Gajeel retreated with a horrified expression, and his mental state was already on the brink of collapse.
They had made all the necessary preparations to kill Irina, and all of the 10th-tier powerful beings in Rodu were being monitored. However, no one had thought that Alex would appear, let alone Alex in his peak condition.
"I'm in a hurry." Meg glanced at the countdown timer, which was already halfway over, and spoke in a cold voice. He took a step forward and instantly brushed past Gajeel as he slashed his sword through the air, leaving a thin white line in its wake.
Golden flames erupted from Gajeel's eyes, and his black shield had already appeared in his hand. He raised his hand to shield himself, but his porcupine-like body swelled drastically again, and a layer of hardened black skin had even appeared over his body.
The thin white line continued to extend, cutting through the drops of rain. Like a paintbrush, it gently brushed past the black shield and then across his neck.
A clean cut appeared on the shield that had been refined from the shell of a ninth-grade magic beast. Half of the turtle shell slowly fell to the ground, and a thin line of blood appeared on Gajeel's neck. His massive head flew high into the air, and blood gushed forth like a fountain. The rigid headless corpse slowly fell to the ground, and the massive head rolled a few times on the ground, staining the ground red with blood.
The white line continued to extend forward, and lightly stabbed the vampire who was still struggling in the pool of blood.
"Devil! You must be a devil! "
Cade and Gajeel were killed in the blink of an eye. The forest troll who had lost an arm had already collapsed. Magic barriers of various sizes rose up around his body, and a dark green teleportation array appeared beneath his feet. The teleportation array had already been activated.
"Since you're here, don't leave." Meg raised his sword and walked towards the forest trolls. His expression was as calm as ever, as if he had just killed a few ants.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Ah … "
The forest troll's face was filled with shock and horror. He made a series of hand seals with his remaining hand, and stomped his foot in an attempt to activate the teleportation array.
"Alex, I didn't think you'd still be alive."
Right at this moment, a distant voice sounded from the void. A rift appeared in the sky, and four sticky tentacles reached out from the rift, then tore the rift apart.
A giant octopus over 20 meters tall with countless tentacles squeezed out from the rift. What was even more terrifying was that there were countless eyes on the body and tentacles of the giant octopus, and each of the black and white eyeballs seemed to be glaring at you.
On the head of the giant octopus stood a short and fat old man who looked like a dwarf. His feet seemed to have sunk into the octopus's body, and his ball-like body seemed to have fused with the octopus. The black and white eyeballs protruded from their sockets, making his bald head appear rather frightening.
As soon as he finished speaking, two tentacles extended at a rapid rate, intertwining as they rushed toward Meg in an attempt to bind him.
…
Joshua's griffin flapped its wings and quickly flew forward. He could already faintly hear the sounds of battle from the fifth street, and that made him very excited.
As long as there were sounds of battle, it meant that the battle was not over, and Irina was still alive.
Even though he was extremely furious that the various races had tried to kill Irina behind his back, if he could take advantage of this opportunity to save the damsel in distress, perhaps it would be a good opportunity for Irina to throw herself into his arms.
With that in mind, Joshua's expression became rather excited, and even the wand in his hand was trembling slightly.
As the second prince of the empire, being able to become a 7th-tier magic caster at such a young age was already a testament to his exceptional talent. That was also the reason why he was favored and supported by the Magus Tower.
Exceptional prodigies like Irina were still very rare.
"Be careful, Your Highness! There are violent spatial magic waves up ahead, and they've already exceeded that of normal 10th-tier magic casters. It's most likely the patriarch of the spatial demon race!
Just as Joshua was fantasizing about saving Irina and emerging from a pool of blood with her in his arms like a hero, a massive white falcon quickly caught up to him, and a white-haired magic caster on the falcon's back spoke with a grave expression.
"What?!"
Joshua's heart jolted upon hearing that, and even his griffin slowed down significantly as he looked toward the fifth street with a bewildered expression.
If this was a normal 10th-tier opponent, this great magic caster who was protecting him should be able to take care of him. In Rodu, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him, the second prince.
However, if this was a patriarch of the spatial demon race, then he would most likely be far more powerful than a normal 10th-tier demon. This great magic caster from the Magus Tower most likely wouldn't be able to defeat him.
"There's a contract between all races that prohibits patriarch-level beings from appearing in the territories of other races. How dare he violate the contract in public? Is he not afraid that the Roth Empire will come after him?" Joshua clenched his fists tightly.
The magic caster wore a concerned expression as he said, "Your Highness, the demons most likely won't give up until they achieve their goal this time. The patriarch of the spatial demon race has appeared in Rodu, and he's attacking the elven princess, so that's a direct confrontation with the elven race and the human race. If you go there now, perhaps he'll take the risk and attack you. Please reconsider your decision, Your Highness! "
"I..." Joshua looked in the direction of the fifth street with a hesitant look on his face. Worry filled his eyes, but the griffin beneath him immediately slowed down.
