Mephistopheles raised his head and saw a golden pillar of light in the night sky, as well as another pillar of light that reached the clouds. He stood up and patted the grass off his body. Out of the four of them, he had the easiest time escaping from the Nightmare Mist. The Lernaia Hydra did not bother him at all, but he did not expect to lose his way after leaving the forest.
Mephistopheles raised his head and looked at the pillar of light. His eyes sparkled. He stopped and then walked in that direction.
At the same time.
When the pillar of light exploded, Andesha's tendrils shot towards Brando, trying to stop him from using Divine Power. But she did not expect her tendrils to burn like paper when they came in contact with the golden light, turning into ashes in an instant.
Andesha screamed and quickly retracted her tendrils. The golden flames seemed to have a power that could burn her soul, causing her to feel a sharp pain.
The Tree Shepherds' leader suddenly sensed something. She turned around and squinted her purple eyes. She saw a flash of green light on the other side of the valley.
"She's fast." Andesha gritted her teeth. She grabbed Scarlett's arm and said in a low voice: "It's not time to deal with that woman yet. Darling, come with me."
But she did not expect that Scarlett would not budge at all. Andesha lowered her head and looked at Scarlett in shock, only to find that the red-haired girl was holding onto a rock protruding from the ground and looking at her with determination.
"I'm not going with you." Scarlett stared at Andesha's eyes fearlessly and said word by word.
"You're crazy!" Andesha's voice rose an octave: "You promised me! You'll come with me as long as I heal him! "
"I didn't say that I'm going to keep my word," Scarlett replied: "I won't leave His Lordship, you can just kill me."
Andesha was stunned. The Tree Herders were the ones who were cunning and went back on their words. She did not expect that she would be tricked by a little girl today. Even if she wanted to kill Brando, the golden flames would not allow her to do so. She was so angry that her body trembled. She could only hit the back of Scarlett's head, causing her to groan and faint.
But during this delay, the green figure on the other side of the valley suddenly sped up. It was Veronica, who had caught up with her sword. The Empire's Goddess of War pursed her lips and pressed her hand on the hilt of the Azure Firmament. She took a step forward, and this step seemed to fold the space of several hundred meters into a single point.
In the next moment.
She blocked Andesha's path.
Veronica looked coldly at Faena who was tied up by Andesha and shouted: "Andesha!"
"Tsk," Andesha's hands stopped moving. She was a high and mighty person after all, and she had already calmed down. She snorted lightly: "I'm still a step too late. Lady Veronica's Element Power has reached the 'Extremity' realm. You're so fast that you can make people see illusions."
"Enough with the nonsense, Andesha," Veronica's voice was as cold as ice. She knew the identity of the woman in front of her. She was definitely not here to flatter her, not to mention that Faena was still in her hands. "Why is Faena in your hands? Where are Rono and Elman?" She questioned.
"You're talking about this little girl?" Andesha did not seem to mind Veronica's tone at all. She extended her hand to allow the vines binding Faena to come closer to her and lifted her chin: "What an enchanting beauty."
"Don't keep me in suspense!" Veronica unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Andesha: "Andesha, what are you doing here?!"
Veronica naturally noticed the pillar of light behind Andesha, but she did not notice that there was someone else inside because of the golden flames.
However, she frowned when she saw the unconscious Scarlett.
Andesha smiled: "Why don't you make a guess?"
Veronica's expression darkened. She pursed her lips and slashed her sword towards Andesha. Her sword brought about a green stream of air that took the shape of a green bird. To the onlookers, it looked like a green bird that flapped its wings and shot towards Andesha, leaving a long trail behind it.
It was as fast as lightning.
Andesha's expression changed. She did not expect Veronica to use her full strength right from the start. She waved her right hand that was covered in vines, and countless white thorns grew out from the ground to block Veronica's Sword Qi. These thorns were not ordinary thorns, but the vines of the Sulfur River's Blood Rose. They were as hard as steel, and the thorns on them were poisonous enough to cause skin ulcers to fester.
However, the green bird seemed to have a life of its own. It flapped its wings and flew through the gaps between the thorns like a nimble petrel, heading straight for Andesha.
Secret Sword Technique!
Andesha finally understood that Veronica was serious. Heaven's Wall was a defensive Sword Technique that used the Wind Element as its foundation. Although it focused on defense, it was like an impenetrable wall of air when defending, but it was as nimble as the wind when counterattacking. It had its own unique aspect.
The blue bird flying up and down was the best example at this moment.
Andesha gritted her teeth and released her grip on Vahina's chin. She swung her hand towards Veronica's Sword Qi, and the moment her fingertips touched the green bird, Veronica's Sword Qi dissipated like dust in the wind.
"Lady Veronica," Andesha said: "You are not my opponent, why are you so reckless?"
Veronica did not reply. What answered her was the sword in her hand. Andesha raised her head and saw a magnificent green scene in front of her. Countless green birds flapped their wings and shot out from a huge green vortex, forming a magnificent scene.
That scene was slow and magnificent, giving people the illusion that a huge flock of migrating birds was flying upward along the white cloud wall and the blue dome of heaven.
"Citizens of the Wind!"
The Lord of Withering Flowers' expression changed. She stretched out her hand and screamed: "Earth Puppet!" Following Andesha's shout, the ground beneath their feet rumbled. Mud and rocks surged up and formed a huge Earth Puppet.
Under Veronica's sword, countless Blue Birds charged forward, crashing into the stone puppet that had suddenly appeared. Every Sword Qi left a huge hole in the stone puppet, but in the blink of an eye, even more soil repaired the stone puppet.
In an instant, over a hundred streaks of Sword Qi were unleashed. Although the giant puppet was badly damaged, it was still able to move. It let out a low growl, raised its huge fist, and smashed towards Veronica from a few hundred feet away with the force of Mount Tai.
Beads of sweat appeared on Andesha's forehead, but she remained calm. She gritted her teeth and raised Cyan Firmament above her head. The dazzling blade cut through the Earth Puppet, and with a loud bang, one of the Earth Puppet's arms fell to the ground.
Veronica sheathed her sword and sighed lightly. The previous battle had left her exhausted. But when she raised her head, she saw Andesha standing beside the Earth Puppet, but her face was slightly pale.
The two of them exchanged blows, and it was obvious who had the upper hand.
Andesha looked at Veronica, and in order to prevent her from attacking again, she smiled and placed a finger on Vahina's neck: "Lady Veronica, this one is not here to fight with you. If you attack again, don't blame me for being impolite."
"You won't kill her." Veronica replied coldly.
Andesha was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "You're smart, but that depends on how valuable this little princess is."
"What do you want?"
"You know very well, Lady Veronica," Andesha smiled: "I want the Lionheart."
"You're dreaming." Veronica replied.
"Then you don't want this little princess as well?" Andesha patted the unconscious Vahina's face.
Veronica took a deep breath and shook her head: "Not to mention that I don't have the Lionheart, even if I did, I wouldn't exchange it for Vahina."
"How heartless. Is an inanimate object more valuable than a human life in your eyes?" Andesha's sharp finger drew across Vahina's face: "This little girl is the only successor to the Duke of Flowers, aren't you afraid that he will come after you?"
"Enough nonsense," Veronica replied: "Andesha, you and I both know what the Lionheart represents. Let alone Vahina, even if His Majesty the Emperor was in your hands, I wouldn't agree to such a request."
She raised her head and said word by word: "The Cruz Empire will never bow to any threat."
This time, it was Andesha's turn to be silent.
She knew Veronica's personality very well, and she did not plan to meet this woman so soon. Her original plan was to wait for Veronica to obtain the Lionheart, then use Vahina to distract her and seize the opportunity to snatch the Lionheart from her.
This was the tactic she was most proficient in.
But she did not expect Scarlet and Brando to appear out of nowhere and disrupt her plans. She did not say a word, but the anger in her heart was growing. She was also thinking about how to salvage the situation.
"Since the Lionheart is not in your hands," Andesha said in a low voice: "Then the thing that is looking for the Lionheart should be in your hands."
Veronica frowned and immediately understood Andesha's intention. She raised her sword and prepared to defend herself.
But Andesha smiled charmingly and grabbed Vahina's neck with her left hand: "But since this little princess is no longer of any use, there is no harm in using her as a blood sacrifice."
Veronica's expression changed. Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Lady Andesha, I don't mind if you do that," the voice said: "But before you do, you better explain to me what you did to my guard."
Andesha's expression changed. She felt as if a wild beast had locked onto her from behind, and her hair stood on end. She subconsciously turned around.
A blinding golden flame rushed towards her.
