"Oh how wonderful! Look at my allies; a fossil on death's door, his crybaby stepson, and my other half who became someone else's dog when he should have been with me!"
Atractivo didn't seem to fancy the nostalgic atmosphere that had formed; his voice, his gaze, and his facial expression confirmed this.
"I won't argue over who is whose other half, but if you want, I can help you deal with the two enemies facing you!"
"Of course you're going to help!"
The handsome Sheikh, who had been talking big until that moment, accepted the request for help without question; there were now two people facing the Holy Fire and Holy Ice.
"I'll take the ugly hag who thinks she's the master of fire, you fight the one that matches your personality!"
"Fine, let everyone fight the one that reflects their personality!"
The former Second Elder, who sat in the Sheikh seat left vacant after the previous Sheikh turned out to be a Power Animal, was watching what was happening with astonishment, but it was neither the time nor the place to do so.
"Your Highness the Sheikh, we await your orders!"
The young girl who acted as the spokesperson for the hundred people shooting out of the talismans first let out a dry cough, but seeing there was no sound, she was forced to speak directly.
"Umm, let's break the siege first. Can you scatter the enemies surrounding the Blood Dome?"
"Scatter them?"
"Can't you do it?"
"Yeah, we can't scatter them, but we can kill them outright!"
When the young girl raised her hand in the air, all those under her command shot out of the shield; there was nothing left to say. It was time for the weapons to do the talking, and the fresh forces were making a fast entrance as if to prove they were tailor-made for this job.
"No one is getting out alive, strike, break, kill!"
The hundred people attacked the crowd, which was almost three times their number, without batting an eye; the first clashes were going to be very bloody. Severed limbs, broken bones, and people screaming in agony were mixing together.
The event was turning into a large-scale conflict, but calling this a conflict would be an insult to what was happening. The slaughter of the disciples of the four sects while trying to retaliate couldn't be called a war; one-sided annihilation was the word that most clearly described what happened.
"Jashua, what are you waiting for?"
Hearing Nafız's voice, the Young Count drew his weapon. The giant scythe harvesting death, with its red color, managed to attract attention no matter how you looked at it. Nafız, in her Nora disguise, had canceled the Blood Dome technique and joined the massacre as a Holy Blood Sect Disciple.
"I'm going to Alyon's aid. Alis, follow me!"
When things went the way she wanted in this part of the battlefield, Nafız turned her course towards the direction where her old friend was clashing with two fiends, and she was taking Alis with her.
"I'm here, Alyon!"
The two fiends they had killed earlier fell victim to their arrogance, but fiends number five and seven were using all their focus while fighting. Even though Alyon was facing them with the Elite Ten and Five Roots, no one had been able to take the title of the upper hand in the battle until an angel with long red hair descended from the sky.
"We've been keeping our eyes peeled for you!"
"Were you waiting for me to crush two bugs?"
When Nafız finished her words, a pillar of black energy rose to the sky from where Alyon was; even though many didn't understand what it was, the orcs knew its meaning.
"Bloodline Power Second Level, Chief's Frenzy"
The giant orc began to burn in black flames; the red flames breaking off from the fiends' swords began to scatter as they approached him.
"So you were holding back to show off to me, you big head!"
"Alis, give them the answer they deserve!"
The youth in white turned black within two breaths; he looked like a black hole wanting to swallow everything. Targeting the other fiend, Alis swung his swords and whipped up a storm blacker than the night, reducing his enemy's communication with the surroundings to zero.
"If Pehlivan were here, he'd be dying to fight you!"
Alyon knew who Alis was, but he didn't know he was an independent human now, that's why he compared him to his own power animal.
"Never mind Pehlivan, even you couldn't be a match for Alis!"
When Nafız spoke roaring with laughter, Alyon got feisty. After gripping the grand master Abarran's weapon tightly and raising it above his head, he swung it fiercely. The black storm and a pitch-black deluge of energy sliced right through the red flames that were their enemies. Let alone resisting, no one could stand before them.
The Fiends were sent flying back by the blow they took; they couldn't contain their own blood in their bodies, the opened gashes were preventing this. While the Fiends were expected to retaliate tenfold after the first attack, they started running away; they didn't even look back until they reached Eyshan's side.
"You disgraceful wretches, none of you are worth a dime!"
The Queen of Hell sent such an energy to her hands she placed on the heads of her two fiends seeking refuge in her skirts that a few breaths later, not even their ashes would remain. The escape of numbers five and seven was unacceptable, but they couldn't be the main reasons for Eyshan being this angry. The long-faced woman was furious because of the developments on the other front.
Anticuado, teaming up with Atractivo, was gaining the upper hand against the Holy Fire and Holy Ice. When the two men, who once shared the same whole, came side by side, their power had reached another level.
That wasn't the only thing that changed; when the security of the Blood Dome was ensured, the woman who was the Third Sheikh's power animal also rushed to the aid of the Holy Bone Hueso. This development caused the battle between the duo to completely reverse; the Holy Earth Sheikh couldn't stand against two great powers.
On the other hand, the hundred people who suddenly appeared and called themselves Holy Blood Sect Disciples wiped out the combined force of the four sects. The difference in quality was so huge that the event lasted almost in the blink of an eye.
"My Queen, they turned out to be stronger than we expected!"
"You must make your decision?"
Two of the three fiends right beside her were in a panic, and the remaining one had gone to meet the death-scented old man walking towards them with heavy steps.
"Get out of my way child, you are too young to die!"
"You are the one looking for your death, maybe you should have died long ago!"
The Fiend drew his sword and lunged forward while flames danced around him. Despite his movements that threw the darkness into chaos, the old man continued to walk, and just as the tip of the sword was about to enter his neck, he coughed slightly.
At that moment, blood thorns exceeding the height of a human shot out from the area surrounding the fiend; his right, left, bottom, top, everywhere was covered in thorns. Two breaths later, the thorns entered his body, opening massive holes in his flesh; his blood, flesh, and organs fell to the ground piece by piece.
The two fiends watching the event grabbed their weapons and surrounded themselves with a vortex of flames; there was no other way to avoid the old man's attacks.
"Eyshan, you were like this when you were little too, your ambition always exceeded your grasp. Even though I knew you harbored a sneaky snake under that naive and friendly appearance, I couldn't tell Mora.
She kept telling me how wrong I was, what a good person you actually were. Maybe because I wanted me to be wrong and her to be right, we came to these days. Now tell me, what are we going to do with you?"
While Eyshan listened to the words forced out of the old man's mouth, she couldn't stop her eyes from welling up, her lip drooped, but right after she pulled herself together and put on her usual arrogant look in her eyes.
"I am the Queen of Hell, a corpse like you left in the dusty pages of history has no right to speak to me!"
"Eternals, reveal yourselves!"
