"Zain! We have to buy more time for Odin," Layla strongly urged upon seeing that Rocky was not yet
ready to engage the demoness.
"Are you kidding me? Are you too blind to see that this woman is on a different level? If we continue
going against her, we are just courting death!" Zain could not help but shake his head and refuse. After
experiencing the demoness's might first hand, he feared for his life. After all, even Anya and Rubygon
were not able to stop or slow the demoness down, let alone them.
"Weren't you the one who proposed to help Odin earlier?" Layla could not believe what she just heard.
She could just glare at Zain in frustration.
"I know! But what do you want me to do? I did not expect that she would be this strong!" Zain argued,
revealing a disdainful expression on his face. At first, when he saw that Anya and Rubygon could
somehow suppress the demoness, he thought that he could fish in troubled waters. After all, once the
demoness was defeated, he could immediately take the chance to enter the Demon Sealing Palace.
However, things did not turn out the way he expected. Later on, they were completely overwhelmed by
the demoness that even Anya and Rubygon were not able to do anything. Hence, he knew that if he
continued struggling against her, he was just digging his own grave.
After seeing that Zain had been fully void of the will to fight, Layla cursed inwardly and clenched her
fists. She mustered her courage and told the powerful masters under her command, "Make sure to
protect Odin! I will try to confront that woman and buy as much time as possible."
Upon saying that, she instantly flew towards the demoness and faced her.
Seeing that the princess was recklessly coming for her, the demoness sneered, "I can't tell if you're
really brave or just plain stupid. Oh well, it doesn't matter. You are willingly presenting yourself before
me, so I'll absorb your spiritual energy first!"
Of course, Layla knew who she was dealing with, and she would not just stand still and wait for her
death. Thus, she immediately employed her best enchanted barrier technique and attempted to seal
the demoness. Unfortunately, the gap between their strengths was so huge. Even before she could
create the barrier, the demoness had already made her move, turned into black fog, and enveloped the
princess. In an instant, Layla was restrained, and even though she tried her hardest to free herself, she
was totally incapacitated.
"Your Royal Highness!" Immediately after seeing Layla's condition, Valeria rushed forth without
hesitation and tried to release the princess from the demoness's grasp.
"Ha! Another stupid girl is about to die!" Not taking Valeria seriously, the demoness just saw her as an
annoying sacrifice that could be crushed easily. Then, the demoness separated a part of the black fog
and quickly trapped Valeria in it.
Therefore, the two girls were now imprisoned in the black fog. Moreover, their spiritual power was
rapidly losing from being extracted.
At this moment, when Rocky saw that both Valeria and Layla were in great danger, he deemed that he
had to take action right away. It did not matter even if he had not accumulated enough spiritual power
to wield the God-killing Sword. He immediately soared into the air and rushed towards the demoness.
In a flash, he waved the sword with all his strength and slashed it towards her.
The divine power of the God-killing Sword was unleashed, bursting out an ultimate power that turned
into a huge golden shadow as if it was the God of War that descended from the skies.
At the same time, the God of War held the God-killing Sword that thrust towards the ground. The
impact of this strike covered a radius of a thousand meters, and it shook both heaven and earth until
they almost collapsed.
Boom!
As soon as the God-killing Sword fell to the ground, it produced an astonishing force, sweeping away
everything, like a vicious tidal wave.
Then, an enormous crescent-shaped sword radiance emerged from the ground and bolted directly
towards the demoness.
"What the hell? Is this sword a holy treasure of the divine race? But how could he possibly possess and
use it?!" She never thought that Rocky was in possession of this holy treasure of the divine race. After
all, it would be impossible for any ordinary member of the Shura Race to wield and control it. Therefore,
she realized that Rocky must have been someone extraordinary.
Now that she knew that her opponents carried the terrifying holy treasure of the divine race, she did not
dare to act rashly. She immediately let go of Valeria and Layla, and hurriedly retreated to avoid the
power of the God-killing Sword.
However, it was a bit too late for her. The power of the God-killing Sword could cover a massive range,
so the demoness could not completely avoid it. Left with no choice, she withdrew the power of her
Spiritual Domain and used it to form a barrier around her so that she could protect herself from the
impact.
The next moment, the power of the God-killing Sword hit the barrier made by the demoness. A dazzling
light illuminated the entire area, and a wave of overbearing power spread out like ripples, reaching
thousands of meters from the point of collision.
Most of the warriors of the Shura Race were caught up in the impact and were sent flying. Some
unlucky ones fell into the abyss under the stone bridge and were instantly devoured by the bottomless
darkness.
Even Enoch and his men were not spared. They were also greatly affected, and many of his men
suffered.
The only ones who were quick enough to protect themselves were Zain and the masters at the medium
stage and premium stage of the Shura Realm.
At the same time, after the demoness let go of them, Layla and Valeria were able to take out some of
their protective treasures to resist the shock caused by the God-killing Sword.
However, they were still badly injured since a large part of their spiritual energy was already absorbed
by the demoness. After they crashed to the ground, they spat out blood, and it was apparent that their
faces were almost deathly pale.
Now that the demoness already retrieved her Spiritual Domain, the masters of the Shura Race were
given the chance to escape.
Therefore, those who were able to survive the impact and could still move wasted no time and escaped
through the stone bridge.
"Your Royal Highness! This is our chance. Let's retreat now!" urged one of the premium-stage Shura
Realm masters on Zain's team.
"No way! If we go back now, everything will be in vain. Now that we have escaped from her Spiritual
Domain, we must find a way to enter the Demon Sealing Palace while they are still busy fighting each
other!" Obviously, Zain's ambition to become the next king was still his priority. He would not let Enoch
get to laugh in the end.
"But the situation is too dangerous! If we are caught by that woman, we don't know what might happen
to us. Besides, the divine treasure in Odin's hands is also terrifying. If we are caught up in their fierce
battle, it won't do us any good." Another Shura Realm master at the premium stage tried to persuade
Zain and talk some sense into him.
"Can't you see that this is a good opportunity? That Odin is obviously not a match for that woman. The
moment she kills him, maybe we can get a hold of that divine treasure!" Zain uttered with an evil grin
on his face.
Hearing this, the two Shura Realm masters could just shake their heads. Although they really wanted to
retreat, they couldn't leave Zain since he was their master. They had to protect him even if he was
being too unreasonable.
On the other hand, even though the demoness's barrier of spiritual power resisted the astounding
power of the God-killing Sword, it was still broken afterward.
'What a staggering power! How can he control the power of the divine treasure like it is not a big deal?
Who the hell is this guy?' She was dumbfounded and infuriated at the same time.
Since the barrier that she made through her spiritual power was broken, she had to continue retreating
in case Rocky started attacking again.
At the same time, the power of the God-killing Sword did not seem to weaken, and it continued to rush
towards her as if it had already locked on to her.
Seeing this, she immediately recognized that the God-killing Sword must have been sensing and
targeting the evil spirit inside the body that she possessed. Thus, while the sword had not achieved its
goal yet, it would not stop attacking. After thinking for a while, she hurriedly summoned the Demonic
Spiritual Spear, gathered her spiritual power and infused it into the spear. Then, she threw it towards
the entrance of the Demon Sealing Palace.
As the Demonic Spiritual Spear was inserted in the ground in front of the entrance of the palace, it
released a strong demonic spiritual power. At the same time, the power of the God-killing Spirit that
was rushing towards the demoness changed direction and was attracted by the evil power that was
coming from the Demonic Spiritual Spear.
"Damn it! This woman is too smart!" When Rocky saw that the power of the God-killing Sword actually
evaded the demoness and instead rushed towards the Demon Sealing Palace, where the Demonic
Spiritual Spear was, his face could not help but darken.
The power of the God-killing Sword could break the enchanted barrier of the Demon Sealing Palace,
and the demoness must have known this. Therefore, she deliberately used the demonic spear to attract
the power of the divine sword in order to break the enchanted barrier.
