While the female warriors were clashing with Kalisa and her creatures, Ateen staggered backward with unsteady steps, feeling the pain intensify and weakness seep into her body.
When she looked at her wound, she noticed its color slowly changing.
At that moment, she realized the horrifying truth… the poison had begun spreading through her body.
Meanwhile, Basil and Hamza were pushing their way through the crowded alleys filled with terrified civilians, heading toward the breached wall.
The sounds of screams and clashes echoed everywhere, as soldiers made strenuous efforts to protect the civilians and secure the routes.
As they approached the wall, the scene became clearer.
The beast had used its immense strength to destroy the barrier, allowing the Ferkuda to infiltrate inside, and chaos began to spread throughout the area.
At the same time, Scarface and his men were trying to take control of the situation with all their strength.
Scarface began directing heavy blows with his massive club toward the giant beast, and with each strike, the creature's body trembled violently, attempting to force it back.
When Basil and Hamza saw the beast and the destruction it had caused, Basil said with a voice full of concern:
"We need a plan. If this continues, we'll lose the wall soon!"
Hamza replied while watching the giant beast:
"I want you to help them repel the attack, while I'll try a technique that may weaken this monster!"
Quickly, Hamza untied the wrapping around the Sword of Al-Farouq. The moment he drew it from its sheath, red flames erupted from its tip, surrounding it like a blazing aura.
Hamza fixed his gaze on the creature, determined to stop this threat.
As Hamza swung his sword through the air, creating spirals of red fire, he suddenly sensed someone approaching him at great speed to intercept with a sudden attack.
From within the dust of battle, Galimon the Bloody emerged, his harsh features carrying a mix of savagery and malice.
Galimon charged at incredible speed and delivered a powerful strike with his spear toward Hamza, but Hamza blocked it with his flaming sword.
The clash was violent, and fiery sparks scattered through the air.
Galimon licked his lips with savage hunger and said:
"You will be my prey today!"
He lunged again in a relentless assault, striking with speed and brutality, while Hamza skillfully evaded, moving lightly across the battlefield.
Galimon continued his assault, then raised his spear high and hurled it with tremendous force toward Hamza.
At the last moment, Hamza deflected the spear with his sword, creating a burst of fiery sparks upon impact that pushed him slightly backward under the force.
Before Hamza could catch his breath, Galimon leaped into the air with incredible speed, reclaimed his spear with precision, then raised his arms high and brought it down in a crushing strike toward him.
Hamza had no choice but to retreat, trying to avoid the devastating blow.
Meanwhile, as Hamza fought Galimon the Bloody, King Aziron released a deep sound from his horns, and the beast immediately responded, moving with terrifying speed despite its massive size.
It raised its enormous hand high, then slammed it down with crushing force onto a group of Mazi warriors who were advancing, sending bodies flying through the air as they fell lifeless.
Then it raised its other hand to finish off another group.
At that moment, Basil appeared with incredible speed and blocked the strike with a powerful punch that shook the giant beast's arm and forced it to step back slightly.
The beast grew furious and let out a thunderous roar that shook the walls, then charged at Basil in rage.
Basil raised his right hand and placed it on his left arm, where the mysterious mark was. Then he said to himself:
"This time I won't fail… I will stop it."
As Basil felt pain surge through him, the mark began to glow with a faint blue light before shining brightly.
At that moment, the tilted square appeared and began to move slowly, then the engraved eye flipped, revealing another eye beneath it, darker and sharper, and blood began to flow from the mark.
The beast raised its hand to strike again, and in a state of panic, nearby soldiers and civilians rushed away, screaming to avoid the devastating blow.
At that very moment, just before the beast's hand could reach Basil, its movement suddenly stopped and it froze in place.
A glowing mark then appeared on its forehead, identical to the one on Basil's arm.
A charged silence filled the air, as everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.
Aziron released another deep sound from the horns on his head, trying to move the beast again, but it did not respond.
Basil let out a relieved breath and said:
"Yes… it worked."
Then he shouted to Scarface and his men:
"Tie it up before it wakes!"
The men did not hesitate, quickly throwing ropes to restrain the beast.
As they did so, a loud thud suddenly echoed across the ground.
Basil raised his gaze and saw Aziron standing before him, anger evident on his face, his eyes carrying a threat of destruction.
Scarface grasped his skull necklace and warned his men:
"Prepare yourselves… their king has moved."
