"Damnable Celt! Everyone be careful!" Cecilia's expression changed when she saw Celt change directions. She hastily warned her subordinates to be careful.
The Redbud Knights led by Celt, along with Arlen and the dark elves, all changed directions and rushed towards the area where Cecilia, Emily, and the others were.
"My Lord, that Brian is also a member of the Dark Mantle. As long as we capture those women, he won't dare to act rashly again." Kassel urged Celt along the way. He was also very afraid of the Ancient Lizard King behind him.
"Since he's in cahoots with Brian, we'll capture him and force him to submit." Celt responded casually. He took out the divine weapon "Starry Sky" from his space ring and rushed in Cecilia's direction with a cold face.
Han Shuo, who was on the Ancient Lizard King's shoulder, had seen Emily coming from afar. The Redbud Knights and dark elves had made such a big move that it was impossible for the Dark Mantle to not know. Their appearance here was also within Han Shuo's expectations.
"These two must not leave this place alive, otherwise you won't have any peace!" Han Shuo whispered in the Ancient Lizard King's ear, his eyes fixed on Celt and Arlen.
"I don't need you to remind me." The Ancient Lizard King's thoughts were directly reflected in Han Shuo's mind.
At this time, the Ancient Lizard King had swept through the area. More than a thousand Redbud Knights and dark elves had died. Those who were lucky enough to survive had fled in all directions, gradually moving further and further away from the Ancient Lizard King.
As soon as the Ancient Lizard King's thoughts were activated, a reddish-brown light enveloped his enormous body. His incomparably large body gradually shrank.
Han Shuo, who had been standing on the Ancient Lizard King's shoulder, was the most sensitive to this change. During this process, he received another message in his mind. Han Shuo knew that the Ancient Lizard King was preparing to transform into human form, so he flew up from the Ancient Lizard King's shoulder into the air.
Surrounded by the reddish-brown light, the Ancient Lizard King's mountainous body rapidly shrank. In just ten breaths of time, he had transformed from a twenty-meter-tall giant into a red-faced old man about one hundred and seventy centimeters tall. The old man's skin was a bright red, and a red robe of unknown material draped over his body. a lizardman's tail protruded from his back.
After transforming into human form, the Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's appearance had undergone an earth-shattering transformation. He had turned into an unremarkable little old man. Dagassi raised his head to look at Han Shuo, who was floating in the air, and shouted in human language, "You should take care of your friend first. I will make the invader pay the price."
This time, the Ancient Lizard King wasn't using telepathy. Instead, he was using the common language to converse with Han Shuo. It seemed that his ability to transform into human form had been restricted by the ancient magic formation. After transforming into human form, the Ancient Lizard King's body structure had changed, allowing him to speak human language.
As he spoke to Han Shuo, Dagassi gradually began to rise into the air. However, it seemed that he hadn't flown in a long time. Judging from his movements, it seemed that he was searching for the feeling of flight.
With Dagassi's reminder, Han Shuo discovered that Celt and the others were almost at Cecilia's side. Kassel had transformed into an earthen bear midway, charging towards Cecilia's area with a height of ten meters.
When the dark elf noble Arlen saw the inconspicuous Kassel suddenly transform into an enormous earthen bear, he jumped in fright. Arlen turned his head to look, and saw the flowing starlight of Starry Sky in Celt's hand. His heart shook violently, and he broke out in a cold sweat over his rudeness to Celt.
From the Ancient Lizard King's aura attack, Arlen understood that the strength of his subordinates was far inferior to that of the Redbud Knights. Even he himself was no match for Celt. If a great druid who could transform into an earthen bear had joined the fray, he would have been the one to suffer in the end.
While Arlen's heart was still beating with fear, Cecilia was silently cursing in her heart. She shouted loudly in the air, "Hurry up and retreat! Don't just stay here! Celt is coming!"
Celt, the leader of the Redbud Legion, was one of the top ten knight orders on the Profound Continent. He was a famous expert even in the Profound Continent. Although Celt had lost the green dragon that had boosted his strength, he still couldn't be underestimated with the divine weapon "Starry Sky" in hand. As one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle, Cecilia wasn't famous for her battle strength. When she saw Celt and the others rush over, she immediately grew worried.
"Loathsome women, don't even think of leaving this place today!" Celt roared, and dazzling light burst out from Starry Sky in his hand. It was as if the starry sky had suddenly descended into the underground world. Together with Kassel, who had transformed into an earthen bear, they pressed towards Cecilia and the others.
A beam of blood-red light suddenly shot out. Blood qi entangled in the air, spreading a thick smell of blood. Halfway through, the blood-red light suddenly spun at a high speed, turning into a huge blood-red ball of light that was covered in spikes that kept splitting the blood-red light.
The "Bloody Radiance of Ten Thousand Cuts" was activated by the Demonslayer Edge. It rolled towards Kassel, who had transformed into an earthen bear, amidst the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. Kassel, who was about to send a palm strike towards Emily, suddenly felt a surging killing intent behind him. He hurriedly ignored Emily and focused all of his attention on the bloody light behind him.
Emily used a levitation spell to lightly retreat. Her head of fine black hair fluttered in the wind as she continuously chanted an incantation with her magic staff. Two enormous Hands of Death suddenly appeared in the air, grabbing towards Kassel's legs.
Kassel, who had focused all of his attention on Han Shuo's Demonslayer Edge, didn't expect that the retreating Emily would dare to attack. His two legs were grabbed by the Hands of Death in almost the same instant they formed.
Kassel, whose movements were hindered, could only use his sturdy bear claws to resist the Demonslayer Edge's twisting. Bloody light flew out from Kassel's hands, and sparks shot out from his palms amidst a series of screeching sounds. The earthen bear pounded his chest and stamped his feet as he howled incessantly.
When the Demonslayer Edge had exhausted thirty percent of its magical yuan, it once again turned into a streak of bloody light and returned to Han Shuo. Kassel, his hands a bloody mess, let out a roar in his earthen bear form and actually ignored Celt and dark elf Arlen. He circled around the high and mighty Emily and ran further into the distance.
Boom ….
A powerful force came crashing down from above. The ten meter tall earthen bear was suddenly pressed to the ground by the force. Dozens of attacks then entered Kassel's body, causing him to transform into an earthen bear. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose as he gradually shrank back to his normal human form.
Above Kassel's head, Ancient Lizard King Dagassi, who'd struck him down, turned into a small red dot and slowly descended onto Kassel's body.
"You're the main instigator of this matter, how can I let you escape?!" Dagassi, who'd transformed into a red-faced elder, stomped down on Kassel's head. With a crunching sound, Kassel's head was crushed into a watermelon.
On the other side, Cecilia was leading the Dark Mantle members in a desperate attempt to avoid the pursuit of Celt and Arlen. However, Celt obviously didn't know that Han Shuo and Cecilia weren't on good terms. Han Shuo, who'd rushed over, only saved Emily and didn't interfere. He allowed Cecilia and the others to flee in a sorry state.
Only when the fire journeyman mage named Chrissie was about to be killed by a Redbud Knight did Han Shuo step in and call out from afar, "Chrissie, come to me. I'll guarantee your safety."
"Brian, hurry and save Lady Cecilia, hurry!" Chrissie seemed to be quite concerned about Cecilia. She didn't immediately run to Han Shuo's side. Instead, she ignored her own safety and kept yelling for Han Shuo to save Cecilia.
At this moment, Emily and Han Shuo weren't too far apart. Emily knew that Han Shuo and Cecilia were somewhat estranged. She frowned, but didn't say anything to persuade him. She flew towards Cecilia herself.
Standing proudly in the air, Han Shuo couldn't help but curse in a low voice when he saw Emily fly towards Emily without a word. He directly charged towards Emily. He didn't care about Cecilia's life or death, but Emily was his woman. Han Shuo absolutely didn't want anything to happen to her.
Emily had actually been secretly paying attention to Han Shuo's movements. When she saw Han Shuo chasing after her, she couldn't help but feel a sweetness in her heart. She understood that Han Shuo had only come because he was worried about her safety. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have cared about Cecilia's life or death.
While Celt was chasing after Cecilia and the others, Arlen was leaning towards Emily's side. When he saw Emily fly towards him, he immediately gave the two dark elven archers behind him an order. The two archers raised their bows and aimed at Emily. Magical fluctuations curled around the arrows.
Arlen waved the black magic staff in his hand. He chanted an incantation in the dark elven language. A black python condensed from dark elements slithered out from his magic array. It shook its head and wagged its tail, opening its bloody maw and biting towards Emily.
"You're courting death!" Han Shuo shouted coldly. The Demonslayer Edge in his right hand suddenly flew out of his hand. Crimson light abruptly shot out from the area formed by the python.
The Demonslayer Edge seemed to have turned into a bloody quagmire. An intense suction force suddenly surged from within. The surrounding air whistled as it was sucked into the quagmire. The violent suction force grew stronger and stronger. The black python that had been charging towards Emily was forcibly pulled away by the enormous suction force.
Apart from the dark elf patriarch Arlen, even the two archers were involuntarily sent flying. Although they shouted with all their might, they couldn't stop their bodies from flying out. Together with the shrubbery and rocks that had been kicked up from the ground, they flew into the bloody quagmire created by the Demonslayer Edge. Just like the black python, they were swallowed up by the bloody quagmire.
Arlen was frightened out of his wits. He decisively stabbed the sharp magic staff in his hand into the ground. He held onto the staff with one hand and took out a scroll shrouded in dark magic with the other. He quickly drew something on the scroll, and a cloud of black mist enveloped Arlen.
A gust of wind blew, and many gaseous Arlen floated out of the black mist. These gaseous Arlen twisted their bodies and floated up like leaves. They were actually unaffected by the suction force of the bloody quagmire, drifting further and further away until they disappeared.
However, Arlen had clearly overlooked the existence of Ancient Lizard King Dagassi. Dagassi had been observing the changes in the area but hadn't been in a hurry to make a move. At this moment, dozens of mysterious auras suddenly shot out, burying themselves into the ground.
A mournful scream sounded from the depths of the earth. It sounded like Arlen's voice. Dagassi chuckled strangely and shouted, "Despicable dark elves, you think you can escape from me?"
"Dagassi, how long are you going to stand there and watch? Killing them should have been your job. When did it become my responsibility?" Han Shuo had long since noticed that Dagassi had been watching them. When he sensed that Arlen had died in the depths of the earth, he couldn't help but shout.
"Interesting human brat. I see that you alone are enough to deal with them, so I'll just be your assistant." Dagassi suddenly seemed to be interested in Han Shuo. He continued, "I've lived for so long, but I've never seen this kind of attack before. This kind of energy cultivation method is very special. I want to see just how many more miraculous things you have."
Dagassi's strength was incomparably terrifying, but he also had miraculous observation skills. After observing for a while, he discovered that Han Shuo's demonic arts were miraculous. This kind of attack that didn't seem to be using aura or elemental magic was something he had never seen before in his long life. Dagassi immediately became interested in Han Shuo, as if he wanted to carefully observe Han Shuo. He wasn't in a hurry to make a move.
Han Shuo coldly snorted at Dagassi's words. "If that's the case, then you can take your time and watch."
Han Shuo moved like lightning to Emily's side. Before Emily could fly out again, he grabbed Emily and yelled at Celt from afar, "Celt, what's the use of chasing after those people? Their lives have nothing to do with me. If you don't escape, you'll only end up dead. Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Celt, who had been relentlessly chasing after Cecilia and the others, almost vomited blood when he heard Han Shuo's words. He looked back and saw that Arlen had disappeared, leaving only Han Shuo looking at him with a mocking expression. It seemed that Han Shuo had no intention of saving Cecilia and the others. He was clearly laughing at Celt.
"Damn you, Cassel, you gave me the wrong information!" Celt cursed in a low voice. He seemed to have thought it through and no longer cared about the lives of Cecilia and the others. He led the Redbud Knights who'd been following him and dived into the depths of the bushes.
"Emily, how did that Cecilia become one of the three heavyweights of the Dark Mantle? With her strength alone, Candide and your brother Amyes can't compare at all!" Han Shuo couldn't help but ask Emily in astonishment when he saw that Cecilia only knew how to hide.
Under Han Shuo's teasing, Celt gave up on chasing after Cecilia. When she saw that her companions were safe, Emily shyly broke free from Han Shuo's grasp and looked around with a red face. She then slowly descended from the air and said to Han Shuo, who'd been following closely behind her, "Little sister Cecilia didn't fight without permission. Besides, Cecilia's grandfather is one of the oldest elders of the Dark Mantle. He's also one of the only sacred magi in the Empire. You've seen him before."
Han Shuo was shocked when he heard these words. He then sighed, "No wonder. I was wondering how Cecilia could hold such great power at such a young age with her strength. She even has so many strange magical equipment. It turns out that her grandfather is a sacred magus. Oh, right, I don't remember knowing any sacred magus. I've seen him somewhere before. You're not joking, are you? "
"Of course not. It's just that I can't tell you who that person is. That's the rule. Heh heh, but I think that in a few days, when your rank in the Dark Mantle is higher, you'll definitely be able to come into contact with this person. "Emily said with a charming smile. It was quite amusing to see Han Shuo's confused expression.
"Her grandfather, I've seen him before …" Han Shuo's mind raced rapidly. After thinking for a while, Han Shuo discovered that he had no impression at all, so he didn't waste any more effort to think about it.
"Little fellow, you're not a good person either. You actually want an old man like me to personally take action!" Ancient Lizard King Dagassi's voice suddenly sounded at this moment. Han Shuo then saw a red shadow shoot towards Celt in the air.
"Oh right, Celt still has divine items and a space ring. We still have to go take a look." Han Shuo suddenly remembered Celt's wealth and hastily pulled Emily in the direction of Celt.
The earth elite zombie buried deep underground gradually roamed the depths of the earth according to Han Shuo's consciousness. It was running towards the dark elf patriarch Arlen, who had been killed by the Ancient Lizard King. It was preparing to strip Arlen of all his valuables.
As for Kassel, whose head had been crushed by Dagassi's foot, Han Shuo didn't pay any attention to him. Druids who believed in nature had never liked to collect wealth. This exception, the traitor Kassel, hadn't had the opportunity to own a magic crystal mine. Han Shuo hadn't seen a space ring in his possession, so one could well imagine that he wasn't very generous.
