...…
After the silent confrontation came to an end, both leaders issued their commands almost simultaneously.
"Alucard," Shin said without taking his eyes off Malzareth. "Go give Diablo a hand."
At almost the same moment, Malzareth's cold voice echoed across the battlefield.
"What are you four waiting for?" His crimson eyes briefly swept across Henrick and the others. "Destroy that barrier surrounding the altar."
The four executive lieutenants instantly snapped out of their daze. "Yes, Lord Malzareth!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The battlefield erupted into motion.
Henrick vanished from his position, his body melting into the shadows as he rushed toward the crimson barrier.
Beside him, Velkris disappeared as well. The twin demonic swords at his waist had already left their sheaths before his figure completely faded from sight, leaving behind only several fleeting afterimages.
At the rear, Agata swiftly raised both hands.
Boom!
