Faena stood on the battlefield with Sifrid in her arms. She suddenly felt someone pulling her from behind. She turned around and saw a red-haired girl with a ponytail looking at her sternly: "Don't stand here, it's too dangerous."
As he spoke, he pulled her back without giving her any chance to explain.
"Scarlett?!"
"Sister Scarlett."
Scarlett patted Sifrid's head and said to Faena: "Come with me. You can't interfere in the Lord's battle, and this place will be affected by it."
"What? He only dares to fight because of the Sword Saint. Wasn't he just as afraid of that woman as we were?" Faena replied in annoyance, but she did not dare to continue when she saw Scarlett glaring at her.
"Sister Scarlett, look over there —" Sifrid tugged at Scarlett's sleeve.
The ponytailed girl was startled and raised her head in confusion.
Brando said that he would use the Golden Demonic Tree to absorb the Force of Nature in an area. Of course, he could not plant the Golden Demonic Tree in a battle, but it was enough to achieve a certain effect.
Andesha and Mephisto were currently fighting in the air. The Withered Lord had the upper hand in terms of strength, but Mephisto relied on his techniques to remain undefeated. Both of them noticed Brendel and Veronica on the ground, but Andesha slyly avoided Mephistopheles from moving the battlefield to the ground to avoid being caught in a pincer attack.
"Your helpers aren't useful." Andesha sneered.
Mephisto didn't have the time to reply, and his calm eyes showed that he didn't want to answer. Or rather, his answer was the giant sword in his hand. The giant sword stabbed forward, and a hundred-meter-long blade of light was formed by gray sword qi.
Andesha snorted and turned her huge body in midair to avoid the sword. She swept her wings that were covered with steel scales and knocked Mephisto's sword aside. She then clawed at Mephisto's head.
At the same time, she tried to set up a small area of lightning storm behind Mephisto so that she could use this Level 5 spell to seal off his escape route.
Andesha's claws were fast and vicious, and Mephisto's head would have been turned into a ragged sack if she had hit him. But at this moment, the woman realized that her spell was one step too slow. The lightning that should have been summoned in an instant was dodged by the human Sword Saint.
What's going on?
Andesha was shocked. She realized that the flow of mana in her body had slowed down by a fraction. Although it was only a fraction, the slightest change in the flow of mana would alert any caster. Andesha lowered her head and immediately noticed Brando's actions.
It wouldn't be appropriate to call it a small trick.
This was because Brando was letting the blood flow down from his wrist and onto the shrubs on the ground. As he walked forward, the shrubs immediately grew crazily and formed a black belt.
Golden Tree!
Andesha didn't think about how Brando knew the secret of the Golden Tree, but she knew that the Golden Tree had the ability to disrupt the flow of nature. She was shocked and angry, and immediately threw Mephisto aside and swooped down.
At this moment, Brando and Veronica heard a sharp whistle and felt the sky above them turn dark. They looked up and saw a black cloud pressing down on them.
Veronica's expression darkened, and she immediately pulled out her sword to block in front of Brando.
On the other hand, Mephisto naturally wouldn't allow Andesha to change her target so easily. Although he didn't know what Brando was doing, he could clearly feel that Andesha's spell had slowed down by a fraction. Looking at the monster's reaction, he could guess that it was related to the youth below.
Mephisto pursed his lips and immediately turned his sword to stab at Andesha's exposed back.
"Scram, you wretched vermin! Dark Lightning! " The Tree Shepherds' Lord of the Withering Trees let out an angry roar, and black lightning began to appear around her body. These lightning bolts seemed to listen to her commands as they crisscrossed through the air, and a few of them struck Mephisto's sword.
The Sword Saint of Sutherland felt his hand go numb, and a huge force came from his sword, causing him to almost lose control of it. The power of the lightning was extremely strange, and it didn't have the numbing effect of ordinary lightning. Instead, it had a burning sensation that pierced his heart.
Mephisto immediately switched his sword to his left hand, and when he looked at his right palm, there were no traces of burns. Instead, it was completely black.
"Corrosive damage?" The Sword Saint was slightly stunned. He was quite knowledgeable, and he recognized that this wasn't ordinary lightning, but a substance formed by the element of darkness.
However, while the Sword Saint of Ash was obstructed by Andesha, the Evil Dragon had already arrived above Veronica and Brando's heads. She circled in the air and attempted to stop Brendel, but Veronica stood in front of Brendel and raised the Azure Firmament in a battle stance.
Andesha took a deep breath. She knew that if she wanted to attack Brando, she couldn't avoid Veronica. Even though the Cruz Goddess of War wasn't as strong as her, she had no problem obstructing her from the side.
She hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her claws. Countless vines grew out from the ground and pierced towards Brando.
The vines were twisted plants that had been corroded by the darkness, and when they broke out from the ground, they looked like countless poisonous snakes. Veronica frowned and had to lead the vines to the side to prevent them from affecting Brando's work.
"How much longer?"
"Don't fight her head on. Let Mephisto stall her!" Brando replied without raising his head. He stared at the bushes on the ground. Under the nourishment of the Blood of Gods, the black thorns grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Andesha became anxious when she saw this. Even though the plants weren't enough to completely distort the natural order of this place, it was enough to affect her connection with nature. She was a Druid, and after losing the magic that she was so proud of, her close combat ability wasn't much better than Mephisto's.
With Veronica at the side, her chances of victory were even lower.
Especially in a battle of their level, victory and defeat were often decided in an instant. The slightest tilt in the balance of a battle could affect the final outcome.
She immediately lowered her head and let out a low growl. The vines that came out from the ground were closing in on her, and Veronica was completely entangled by them. Andesha narrowed her eyes and took the opportunity to fly towards Brendel's direction. She did not care if she had a hundred percent chance of success. She opened her wings and flew towards Brendel's direction.
A terrifying shriek rang out in the air.
Brando finally raised his head and looked at the direction where Andesha dove towards with a calm expression. Of course, he was extremely nervous at this moment. Even the most dangerous mission in the past wasn't as exciting as this moment.
She was one of the twelve Patriarchs of the Tree Herders. She was at least forty levels higher than him, and if it was in the game, she could kill him with a single breath.
It wasn't as simple as losing a level in the game, but a real death.
But Brando's mind was extremely clear at this moment. He glanced to the side and noticed Veronica's situation, and a plan formed in his mind.
He came up with a countermeasure in an instant and swung his sword towards Veronica's direction. Even though the crescent-shaped Sword Qi from the White Raven Sword Style bounced off the vines without causing any damage, Brando didn't count on it.
With a thought, a sharp rock pierced out from the ground. It didn't pierce through the vines, but it temporarily blocked them from the other side.
Veronica was finally able to escape. She took a step forward and raised her sword without any hesitation. Green light radiated from her body and surged out in all directions. She raised Cyan Firmament and swung it at Andesha. A cyan wind dragon that was one-tenth of Andesha's size flew out from the blade and crashed into the Evil Dragon in midair.
Andesha was in the final stages of her dive and couldn't change her direction. She could only watch as the Wind Dragon crashed into her shoulder. Of course, the Wind Dragon was only an illusion. In reality, the Sword Qi tore through the scales on her shoulder, causing blood to spurt out.
But that was all. Andesha only felt intense pain, and her movements slowed down slightly. Brando took the opportunity to dodge her claws and regroup with Veronica on the other side.
Lady Withering was furious and wanted to chase after him, but a chill ran down her spine and she stopped. She turned around and saw that Mephisto had already torn apart the black lightning and was chasing after her.
Even though Andesha was dispirited, she had no choice but to turn around and fight. She wasn't so careless as to expose her back to the Sword Saint of the Mayer Tribe without any preparation.
Mephisto had already used his strength to tell the Tree Herders that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Brando took the opportunity to scatter the black thorns on the ground. These thorns were cultivated on the spot, and their effects were minimal. At least from the young man's point of view, he would need at least four more thorns of the same size to turn the tide of the battle.
This wasn't an easy task because Andesha was constantly trying to stop and destroy the fruits of his labor. At first, she used a more direct method, but Mephisto didn't give it to her for nothing. Even though the Sword Saint of the Mayer Tribe seemed a little off the mark, he could see that Brando's thorns were the key to turning the tide of the battle.
Andesha's spells were getting slower and slower, and Mephisto's battle was getting easier and easier. There were even times when he had the chance to counterattack, which was unimaginable in the beginning.
Thus, he decided to follow behind Andesha like a haunting ghost, not giving her any chance to make a move. Andesha quickly realized Mephisto's tactic, and she had no choice but to stop her clumsy actions and use her Element of Corrosion to corrode the thorns.
This had a miraculous effect in the beginning, and almost caused Brando's' work 'to go to waste. However, Mephisto quickly found a way to defend himself under Brando's guidance. He simply used his' Ashen World 'to cover the black thorns, preventing Andesha from attacking.
This move almost drove Andesha crazy, but there was nothing she could do. Her Element of Corrosion couldn't do anything to Mephisto.
Both sides chased after each other, and the black 'Great Wall' was slowly built. Even though Brando was starting to feel dizzy due to the excessive blood loss, Andesha's battle prowess was also starting to crumble. Her last spell almost failed, and the backlash from the spell almost caused her to lose an eye.
Thus, a strange scene appeared on the battlefield. One of the twelve Patriarchs of the Tree Herders was being dragged into the abyss by an unknown noble called Erouine. Even Mephisto, who was fighting against Andesha, could not believe his eyes. Veronica was supporting Brando.
Andesha was furious, but she finally started to feel a little uneasy. She knew that there was no other way out but to lose. The leader of the Tree Herders finally regained her senses. She turned around in midair and prepared to escape.
"Don't let her escape!" Brando immediately shouted. The Golden Tree's area of influence was large enough to cover an entire valley, and it was already too late for Andesha to think of escaping.
But at this moment, he heard Scarlett's scream: "Be careful, my lord!"
