We just need to lead them away and then discard the object.
By you, left with no choice, conceded that this was a feasible plan.
Together, they stood a better chance against a king than alone, where death was certain.
Moreover, Bayou had no amount of present.
Relying solely on dark magic for teleportation would not carry her far.
Immediately, Bayou sent a message to Xiaoli and Shua, instructing her to gather all the undead outside by you s domain and summon Arthur for assistance.
She directed the undead to wait between the bleak snowy mountains.
Fully aware that revealing her castle's location amidst so many kings would be folly.
Then let us depart together.
By you and she hastened toward the opening, while the tiger men within the cave began seeking out more secure rooms for concealment.
Outside the cave, blizzards raged, winds howled, and the sky loomed dark as night.
The entire snowy mountain was marred with vast fissures resembling a scene of cataclysm.
Even the battle between the six-winged angels and the frost giants had not wrought such devastation.
Where can we run? In she inquired of Bayou, her unfamiliarity with the snowy mountains evident as she had no idea which side of the snow cap peaks the cave behind her lay to the east beyond the snow mountains.
Bayou stepped into the snow and Ini paused momentarily.
Are you truly planning to run like this? My mount was slain upon arrival.
Bayou explained succinctly.
Suddenly, both Bayou and Inshi fixed their gazes ahead, where, unbeknownst to them, a colossal wolf silhouette had emerged.
Swiftly, it was the king- level creature from the mountain's summit.
It had arrived first, the closest to their position.
The wolfman sis fixated on the object in Inshi's hand, an avaricious glint evident, and without uttering a word, it launched an attack upon her.
Bayou reacted first, seizing Enshi's shoulder and teleporting them to a distant location, narrowly evading the wolf man's assault.
"Run!" Bayou shouted as she sprinted backward.
In she refrained from questioning why Bayou did not teleport again, for Bayou's ability bore a 5-second cool down, prohibiting continuous usage.
This distance was but a fleeting moment for the Wolf Man, a king-level beast renowned for its physical prowess.
It swiftly reappeared behind Bayou and Inshi.
Bayou had not anticipated the wolf man's speed to be so formidable.
Realizing there was no escape, she drew her sythe to confront it headon.
Bang.
A tremendous force struck her, sending her flying into the distant snow.
This wolf man was league stronger than the night miles from the human empire.
The wolfman immediately clawed at Inshi, who promptly teleported away, rejoining Bayou and helping her at her feet.
Take this.
Inshi tossed the object to Bayou and transformed into a white tiger nearly 3 m in length.
Kia.
The voice emanating from Inshi was no longer that of a young human girl, but rather an ethereal, somewhat indistinct synthesized sound.
Yet, it still retained traces of her original voice.
Bayou mounted Inshi, contemplating that even in her tiger form, she likely could not outrun the Wolfman.
To her astonishment, Ini leaped into the air, narrowly evading the wolfman s onslaught.
You can fly.
Bayou was taken aback that Inshi, not yet of king level, could soar despite being a tiger.
Of course, I'm a queen.
Inshi soared with Bayou toward the heavens.
While the wolf man, unable to fly, transformed into a giant wolf, pursuing them from below.
The giant wolf conjured countless wolf shadows to assault the pair above.
Though could not take to the skies, it possessed long range attack capabilities.
Inshi deafly maneuvered through the air, relying on her own powers to remain aloft.
Though this state could not be sustained for long as it demanded considerable mental energy.
Meanwhile, Bayou perched upon Insh's back had no time to examine the object using the system.
instead unleashing frost magic against the giant wolf below.
The wolfman's speed surpassed their significantly and they had to be cautious not to approach the mountain side too closely, lest the wolf man used the terrain to launch itself and bring them crashing down from the sky.
Confronted by the relentless assault of the werewolf, Silver Tide positioned herself with unwavering determination, refusing to grant the beast any opportunity.
The werewolf in turn was consumed by anxiety, not regarding the two commanding figures of Bayou and Silver Tide, but fearing the imminent arrival of other royal beings.
Should it fail to seize the coveted object before their arrival, it would then have to contend with the competition of several other royals, amplifying its burdens.
At that moment, a barrage of colossal wind blades suddenly assailed the flanks of Bayou and Silver Tide.
Turning to investigate, Bayou recognized the human mage who had previously pursued her.
He had arrived as well.
The speed of the wind blades was astonishing, leaving no time for evasion.
Without hesitation, Bayou conjured a dark barrier, enveloping both herself and Silver Tide within its protective embrace.
Chapter 159.
Divine Essence.
The skill of the Dark Barrier boasts an unparalleled defense with an unbroken record to this day.
However, the potency of this magic is intricately linked to Byu's mana reserves.
The stronger the attacks, the dark barrier endures.
The greater the consumption of mana.
Should the attacks prove overwhelmingly powerful by mana would be entirely depleted, leading to the inevitable shattering of the dark barrier.
In theory, as long as Bayou possesses sufficient mana, the defense of the dark barrier remains invincible.
Boom.
Countless wind blades struck against Bayu's barrier, producing a cacophony of sound.
The two were nearly knocked from the sky by the sheer force of the impact.
Fortunately, Ini managed to stabilize her position, while Bayu expended nearly half of her mana to withstand this assault.
Although they remained a loft, the situation was far from optimistic.
As the advantage of the skies had vanished with the flight of the sorceress, the werewolf's expression soured.
It was unexpected that the human race would interfere.
The sorceress was equally surprised that her two attacks had been thwarted by this otherworldly commander.
The goblin shaman also arrived and the three royal level beings in silent accord directed their assaults toward Bayou and Inshi.
Bayou's heart sank.
Escape from the snowcapped mountains seemed impossible.
One royal level adversary had already thrust them into a life or death predicament, and now two more had appeared.
This was untenable.
She could no longer hold onto this item.
With a swift glance at the three royal beings, Bayou unhesitatingly hurled the object toward the werewolf.
The werewolf, elated, transformed from a giant wolf into its humanoid form and deafly caught the item Bayou had thrown, then immediately fled.
It was no fool.
The prize was in its grasp, and it had no desire to be besieged by both humans and goblins simultaneously.
Bayou had anticipated this.
The werewolf could not fly, making it nearly impossible to escape the encirclement of two royal level foes.
As the goblin and sorceress witnessed the werewolf securing the item, they, as Bayou had predicted, abandoned their pursuit of the two and charged toward the werewolf.
Bayou and she breathed a sigh of relief.
For the moment, they were safe.
The sorceress and goblins circled around the werewolf who was forced to halt, eyeing the human sorceress and goblin wearily.
Horty, that is the property of my human race.
Surrender it, and I shall consider this day as though nothing had transpired.
The human sorceress proclaimed coldly from the skies, ignoring the goblin entirely.
What a farce.
You claim it is yours when the bones have been gnawed clean by maggots for centuries.
The werewolf retorted, then turned to the goblin behind it, threatening Scratzu.
Let us join forces to eliminate her.
Do you truly believe this item is within the reach of her goblin kingdom? Should you dare to strike me today, I shall obliterate your kingdom a top the mountains tomorrow.
You would do well to ponder this carefully.
