Buzzing...
It sounded like a swarm of bees buzzing together.
A white conical airflow, about thirty centimeters long, extended from the tip of the Cross Sword.
This made Freya's weapon appear more like a short gun than a Cross Sword.
The chaotic wind caused Freya's golden hair to scatter wildly, and a hint of determination flickered in her blue eyes.
Boom!!!
The short gun formed by the Cross Sword fiercely stabbed into the semicircular energy shield, sounding as if it had collided with a wooden stump. Ripples rapidly spread out from the Sword Tip, accompanied by occasional crackling sounds.
Inside, Aishebun, who had been chanting quickly, finally felt the impact of this attack, and her gaze began to flicker.
Blazing Edge was a high-speed combat technique distinct from Waltz; it concentrated all power into a single point, showcasing Freya's first attack against the mysterious sorceress using her formidable mortal strength.
"Explode!"
With Freya's shout, the Cross Sword, imbued with Scorching Touch, suddenly ignited. The conical airflow at its tip extended another twenty centimeters, forming a Flame Lance engulfed in scorching currents!
Crack!
The sound of shattering glass echoed on the energy shield as a clear crack slowly formed at the tip of the Cross Sword.
"You actually managed to break through my Dark Barrier?!" Aishebun glared coldly at the Cross Sword that was gradually extending into her space, finally stopping her chant and reaching out directly to grasp the incoming Cross Sword.
At this moment, his Fair Hand had completely transformed into a claw-like shape resembling that of a bird, with a faint black Negative Energy emanating from the sharp claws.
Just as she was about to break through the shield, Freya suddenly felt the Cross Sword's blade sink sharply, followed by an irresistible force combined with a chilling sensation coming from the tip.
Instinctively sensing danger, she immediately released her grip on the Cross Sword and retreated backward.
Not long after she stabilized her stance, she heard a 'clang' as the Cross Sword broke.
She raised her head to look in the direction of Aishebun. The shield had dissipated, and on the ground lay the now-black and slowly decaying Cross Sword, emitting a foul odor.
At this moment, Aishebun's hands had transformed into bird-like claws, with fine feathers sticking closely to both sides of his face. He was staring intently at the two of them, his tone chillingly ominous.
"I didn't expect there to be two mice. But do you think this can stop me? You've already sent out the message. I imagine your brother and the others will arrive soon. With so many life forces, it will be enough to awaken the Guardian. The blood sacrifice can Collapse the entrance for twenty minutes. By then, everyone will die together!"
Hearing Aishebun's threatening tone, Freya instinctively took a slight step back. The monster across from her remained undisturbed by the loud battle, indicating that its awakening conditions were similar to those of Aishebun.
This matter had originally nothing to do with her. She was only dragged into it due to Rand's kind invitation. If that monster awakened later, she would choose to retreat at the first opportunity.
'An Abyssal Creature as a Guardian? This Resource Point is definitely not something I can handle right now!'
However, Lani appeared unfazed and returned to her calm demeanor.
"Aishebun, you have committed several serious crimes. If you come back with me now, Second Elder will spare your life in the family, and I won't pursue you regarding Constant!"
"Do you think I can go back? If it weren't for that old man, would I be in this half-human, half-ghost state? This is all because of the Benifin Family! Anyway, I've already contacted Sia the Sorceress from Serpent's Tooth Tower. I originally planned to get what I needed from the Resource Point before going there. It seems I need to move up my timeline!" Aishebun shouted.
“Serpent's Tooth Tower?” Lani's expression changed as she looked at Aishebun, her face suddenly turning cold. “You not only betrayed the academy but also directly sought refuge with our family's enemies???”
Standing nearby, Freya listened carefully to their conversation and began to piece together Aishebun's background.
Some members of the Elk Wizard Family inject special Monster Bloodline into their unborn children to increase the chances of their offspring becoming wizards.
Although this method is highly feasible and the children born appear human, they all suffer from some form of side effects. Aishebun's physical changes are likely a manifestation of this, but compared to others, the impact of the Monster Bloodline on him is much more severe.
Ignoring Lani's question, Aishebun glanced toward the distance of Stone Forest, where he heard the sound of several people running.
Without hesitation, he quickly pulled out a black Pendant from his chest, grimacing slightly as he gripped it tightly.
The fragile Pendant shattered instantly, and a faint black light enveloped him, causing his body to tremble violently as he became semi-transparent.
After checking his physical condition, Aishebun turned and ran toward the Two-Headed Hound.
As he passed by the monster, it was as if he walked through flowing water and simply passed through it.
“Void Elixir?” Freya frowned slightly as she watched Aishebun enter through the back door of the monster.
Meanwhile, as Rand and his companions approached, the closed eyelids of the two dog heads suddenly twitched. One of them even extended its nose and sniffed lightly, as if it had caught a scent.
This change immediately caused both of them to change their expressions.
Without a second thought, Freya turned and ran.
The explosive aura allowed her speed to reach its maximum, and behind her running figure, faint afterimages appeared.
Lani also seemed to be using some method, hopping forward, her speed not much slower than Freya's.
Soon, the figures of Rand and the others appeared in the two's line of sight.
Just as Lani was about to say something to them, the three of them suddenly halted in their tracks, their faces filled with extreme fear as they turned and ran away.
Seeing their reaction, Freya instinctively looked back, only to see amidst a sea of crimson flames, the massive Two-Headed Hound silently pursuing them.
Its crimson eyes were wide open, revealing greedy slit pupils within. Its powerful body seemed unaffected by gravity as it leaped over the rubble, moving at a terrifying speed.
A wave of dangerous energy prompted Freya to unleash her aura to its fullest. In an instant, she pushed Lani far away amidst the chaos.
However, Lani did not look back; instead, she slapped her left chest.
With a shattering sound, a circular energy barrier appeared around her.
Almost simultaneously, one of the hounds opened its big mouth and instantly loomed over Lani. (To be continued)
