"Heh... two more show up."
Medici looked at the two demigods who'd just arrived and let out a mocking laugh.
At the same time, his hands didn't stop moving at all.
Instead, he increased his output, sending blazing flames into the "Demon Hunter" demigod's abdomen.
"Ahhhhh!"
The towering "Demon Hunter" let out a pained roar and immediately counterattacked.
The next moment, Silas felt powerful force transmitting from the spirit-flesh blade.
The strength was so great he could barely resist it, and was forcibly pushed back.
"Crack!"
As the price, the "Demon Hunter's" twin straight swords were instantly corroded and shattered.
The instant he pushed Silas away, he violently tensed his abdominal muscles, forcibly entangling Medici's two arms.
Then his right fist swung horizontally, tearing through the air with a sharp explosion as it struck straight toward His head.
The "Warrior" pathway demigod's ultimate, formidable physical strength erupted completely at this moment!
The power of this punch was imaginable!
However, Medici merely let out a light laugh.
"Swish!"
Cyan flames formed instantly.
Without hesitation, He burned off his own arms, retreating before the opponent's fist that seemed capable of pulverizing souls could arrive.
"Boom!"
A terrible impact immediately followed.
In the area before the "Demon Hunter" demigod's swinging fist, a large fan-shaped region was instantly destroyed, floor and earth thrown into the air!
"Rustle..."
Earth fell like rain. Not far away, the shadow beneath Silas writhed, and soon Medici emerged again, both arms already restored.
"XX!"
Through his helmet, the "Demon Hunter" cursed in Feysac profanity.
Immediately after, a greatsword seemingly condensed from light appeared between his hands.
He gripped it with both hands reversed and resolutely thrust the greatsword into the ground beneath his feet!
Before activating it, he hesitated as he glanced at Sophia in the distance, and the range of light points scattered by the light sword contracted somewhat.
"Retreat!"
The moment they saw the Demon Hunter assume that stance in the distance, Qonas and the naval admiral's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately pulled back, opening up distance!
Silas also retreated at the same time.
"Boom!"
The greatsword suddenly shattered, gushing out light points like dawn, transforming into an extremely violent hurricane.
With him at its center, powerful streams of light instantly rampaged outward, tearing apart the earth and strangling everything.
Storm of Light!
After the radiance of dawn dissipated, the entire plaza had suffered tremendous destruction.
It was as if a giant spoon had scooped out large chunks of floor tiles and earth, leaving the silver knight standing in a deep crater, with only Sophia at the edge barely avoiding the impact.
The "Demon Hunter's" silver armor was thoroughly shattered, with a huge hole blasted through his chest and abdomen, the wound blackened and horrifying.
"Cough, cough..."
This Sequence 4 demigod had sustained extremely severe injuries, yet still straightened his body.
After glancing at Silas in the distance, he suddenly leaped up, charging toward Sophia Einhorn.
He was going to escape with her!
"Boom!"
A flame spear shot past before him, blocking the path between him and Sophia.
Medici wouldn't let him have his way.
"!"
The "Demon Hunter" demigod suddenly stopped.
He looked at the red wraith resentfully, then felt his abdominal wound.
In the end, he could only change direction, dragging his heavily injured body as he fled into the distance, quickly leaving the scene.
One could only say this was worthy of the "Warrior" pathway—the defensive and vitality were truly formidable.
Seeing this, Silas didn't continue pursuing. Holding the profound greatsword, he looked toward the other two demigods, namely Qonas and Amyrius.
"Whoosh..."
Just then, a large expanse of gray fog suddenly surged before his eyes.
In the depths of the mist appeared a figure with head bowed in prayer. "Mr. Fool, please tell [Temperance] that Jahn Kottman has begun to grow suspicious and has also discovered the anomaly on Blue Mountain Island.
I might not be able to stall much longer."
The "Sea King" is coming back?
As the gray fog dispersed, a sense of urgency welled up in Silas's heart.
Must leave as soon as possible...
He thought to himself, fearlessly meeting the gazes of those two demigods.
One demigod's face showed anger, the other's expression was grave.
Clearly they'd also recognized that the person forcibly breaking into Bayam's Governor's Mansion was [Blood Reverend] Alexander Gascoigne.
Although the temptation to kill these two was great, considering the "Sea King" who would return soon, it was better to prioritize linking up with his fleet and leaving Blue Mountain Island together.
"Swish!"
Beneath Silas's feet, pitch-black shadows rapidly spread, instantly covering the entire plaza.
Roy King and Sophia Einhorn, positioned on opposite sides of the plaza, suddenly felt the ground beneath them disappear.
Then they discovered in terror that their bodies were being swallowed by the black shadow, leaving this world.
Powerful air currents formed beneath Silas. He would ride the wind to reach the harbor and lead the fleet away.
"To harm others is a sin!"
"The guilty shall be punished!"
But just then, a majestic voice suddenly rang out across the plaza, and invisible rules formed accordingly.
A fierce attack howled forward, instantly striking Silas's body!
"Bang!"
Under this powerful attack, Silas's body instantly collapsed into pure flesh and blood.
However, he quickly recovered from the pool of blood to normal, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked toward Admiral Amyrius who'd issued the "Death Pronouncement."
What's this supposed to mean, not letting me leave?
I was planning to spare you, but you insist on courting death?
"Qonas, what are you waiting for!"
Amyrius shouted angrily, "Join me in attacking, don't let [Blood Reverend] escape!"
The Admiral had already learned of this [Blood Reverend's] strength through various reports and wasn't arrogant enough to think the two of them could suppress him.
But fortunately there was still the Storm Church's "Sea King." Once he returned to Bayam, he could restrain him.
So they just needed to hold [Blood Reverend] for a while!
"..."
Qonas's expression was grave as he looked at that crimson figure on the field.
He instinctively recalled the memory from that day at Sodlak Palace, recalled Duchess Georgina being swallowed by a sea of blood and transformed into a monster, recalled Prince Grove being burned by flames... If he rashly attacked, would he meet the same fate?
But very quickly, Qonas also recalled King George III's meaningful, cold gaze.
"Right away!"
He couldn't help but shiver, drawing an enormous pistol from his waist.
Ordinary revolvers looked like children's toys compared to it, and the six thick barrels embedded on it were particularly distinctive, possessing a rough, wild beauty.
"Revil's Desperate Shriek"!
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
Qonas pulled the trigger toward Silas.
Without needing to reload, the six barrels simultaneously let out tremendous roars, bullets pouring out like a miniature machine gun trailing a ribbon of light.
If struck, one would bear Revil's desperate shriek before death, gaining various effects like dizziness, sluggishness, and pain.
Amyrius was right, he only needed to delay [Blood Reverend], not let him leave.
Direct combat could be left to the "Sea King"... Qonas quickly figured something out: he fundamentally didn't need close combat, didn't need to fight desperately with the opponent.
The one who should be anxious was actually the other party!
"...Hmm?"
Bullets like sudden rain struck consecutively but were blocked by the shadow wall Silas raised, making dull sounds.
He saw that those two fundamentally weren't closing the distance, only constantly preventing him from leaving.
These two demigods both possessed rule-based abilities. Working together, they really were difficult to handle!
"Medici."
Silas said, "Teach them a lesson."
"Gladly."
Behind him, the red wraith said with a smile.
He raised his hand, cyan flames gathering in his palm, transforming, finally condensing into a scorching spear that He fiercely hurled, pointing directly at those two demigods in the air!
"Boom!"
The spear contained blazing, terrible energy and was extremely fast, appearing before them in just the blink of an eye.
But just as the flame spear was about to hit its targets, its direction uncontrollably shifted.
"Earl of the Fallen's" "Chaos"!
"Heh..."
Seeing the target change, Medici merely chuckled lightly, then clenched his fist and directly detonated the spear early!
"Boom!"
Explosive flames instantly filled the air, and at the same time, Silas also did two things.
First, he used "Flaming Jump" to rapidly close in on the two.
Second, he retrieved two items from beneath his robe: a silver-white revolver and a section of crystalline white rib.
The "Revolver of Luck" and "Agony"!
Time was urgent.
He fundamentally didn't plan to waste time with these two, but rather would use the most intense means to end the battle as quickly as possible!
