“Get lost!” Legion Commander Blei was utterly humiliated and enraged. Flames surged around his body. Compared to the physical pain, the humiliation to his dignity was far more unbearable. After all, he was a dignified Legend-rank warrior, yet he had repeatedly been used as a human shield!

Sensing the danger, Lili immediately released Blei and lightly tapped the ground with her toes, retreating backward. In the next instant, Blei’s fury erupted completely. His entire body transformed into a pillar of flames that shot straight into the air.

Seeing this, Bishop Gurant’s eyes narrowed. He also retreated several steps to avoid being caught in Blei’s flames. Seizing the opportunity, Lili spread her hands. The two chakrams were immediately drawn toward her by her aura and shot toward her.

Blei, who had leaped into the air, glared fiercely at her and threw a punch! In an instant, a gigantic flaming fist came crashing down with terrifying momentum.

Lili did not dare to be careless. She gripped the chakrams and swung them with all her might, sending two pitch-black crescent blades tearing through the air toward the flaming fist.

At the same time, that old schemer Gurant pointed his golden staff at Lili. The crystal ball embedded in the staff suddenly fired a Holy attack that resembled a bolt of golden lightning.

Sensing the sneak attack, Lili had no choice but to quickly raise the chakrams in front of herself.

**BOOM!**

Just then, the flaming fist and the crescent blades collided head-on, erupting with a deafening explosion. Flames scattered in all directions as the black crescent light dissipated. A powerful shockwave erupted in midair and swept across the entire battlefield!

A glimmer flashed through Lili’s eyes. Instead of resisting the oncoming shockwave, she deliberately let it strike her, and her petite body was immediately sent flying. At that very moment, Gurant’s lightning attack landed precisely where Lili had been standing, blasting a deep crater into the palace floor.

The attack had been extraordinarily powerful! It turned out that Lili had used the shockwave to evade Gurant’s killing blow! It had to be said that this old schemer, Gurant, was truly devious. His earlier attacks had all been probing strikes. The moment an opportunity presented itself, however, he had struck like a venomous snake that had locked onto its prey, aiming for an instant kill!

Lili flipped twice in midair before landing lightly on the ground. When she saw the deep crater nearby, her complexion paled slightly. If she had not reacted quickly and used the force of the shockwave to evade that attack, she would have been seriously injured.

Once the two came after her, she would have been certain to die!

Blei descended from the air and cracked the sturdy floor tiles beneath his feet. Flames still surged around his body, making him look like a god of fire. His expression was grim, and his bloodshot eyes remained fixed on Lili.

Nearby, Gurant curled his lips and inwardly lamented the missed opportunity. If only his sneak attack had been half a second faster, the outcome would have been completely different.

On the other side, the unfortunate Dark Mage was being beaten so badly by Moon that he was cursing nonstop. Whenever he let his guard down for even a moment, several more wounds appeared on his body. He was having an absolutely miserable time.

Moon was growing somewhat anxious because she had already noticed the situation on Lili’s side. Only by killing this old man as quickly as possible could she go and help Lili. But although this rotten old man was weak, his evasion skills were practically maxed out, making him incredibly difficult to kill!

Moon thrust out her dagger, drawing blood once again. However, the attack did not inflict much damage on the Dark Mage. After a series of attacks, she glanced toward Alicia’s side during a brief opening.

At that moment, Richard and Alicia were engaged in an intense battle. Countless sword flashes flickered through the air as continuous explosions rang out.

The sturdy floor, the exquisite stone pillars, and even the walls covered in countless defensive inscriptions had all been battered into a ruined mess by the sword qi unleashed in their clash.

If the palace had not been spacious enough, the shockwaves from their attacks would have injured everyone else!

Alicia blocked Richard’s fierce downward slash, only to feel her blood and qi surge violently as both her hands went numb. She was even more startled inwardly. Richard and the Sword of Eternity were both far more formidable than she had imagined. Especially the Sword of Eternity. It had clearly surpassed the level of an ordinary Legendary weapon!

‘Damn it, he removed the sword’s restrictions. He never obtained the inheritance, so how was he able to remove the restrictions!?’ Alicia gritted her teeth, growing increasingly shocked.

Nevertheless, she could not stop counterattacking. She tightened her grip on the black longsword and swept it out with all her strength, forcing Richard back. Richard used the force of the blow to retreat, finally gaining a moment to catch his breath.

Alicia was shocked, but he was no less astonished.

‘What is going on? How is she so strong!?’

After all, Alicia had been tormented by the Warlock Association’s curse for all these years. Not only had her strength declined, but she had also had pitifully little combat experience.

Yet now, she was actually able to fight him to a standstill! How could Richard possibly believe it? There had to be something fishy going on!

‘That’s right, the underground maze! It was the inheritance inside the maze! Damn it, she actually obtained the inheritance!’ A flash of realization streaked through his mind, and he finally remembered the trial.

Back then, Richard had personally destroyed the underground maze, unaware that Alicia had already obtained the Imperial inheritance jewel long before that. In truth, it was given to her by Yae-hime.

‘I should have destroyed that place sooner!’ Richard was filled with regret now. In fact, his regret was completely meaningless. With his strength, wanting to destroy the main body of the City of Chaos was nothing more than a pipe dream.

That maze area was merely a burden to the City of Chaos. There was nothing particularly regrettable about destroying it.

Sensing the Mana within his body being continuously drained by the Sword of Eternity, Richard’s eyes narrowed. He knew that this battle could not drag on for much longer. He swept his gaze across the battlefield and saw that Lili was locked in a bitter struggle. His tense nerves finally relaxed slightly.

As long as Blei and Gurant took down Lili as quickly as possible, they would have already won half the battle! Then they could kill Moon and turn it into a four-on-one situation. He refused to believe that Alicia had three heads and six arms and could withstand that!

Victory belonged to Richard. It did now, and it would in the future as well!

“Take this!” Suddenly, Alicia’s voice rang out, followed by a pitch-black sword beam that seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth as it descended from above!

Richard instantly came to his senses. As he looked up at the enormous sword beam, his pupils contracted and his heart pounded violently. It was obvious that he absolutely could not take this attack head-on!

A terrifying aura pressed down from above, nearly crushing Richard beneath its weight. He immediately unleashed all his strength and stomped on the ground, his figure flashing away.

Almost at the same moment, the pitch-black sword beam descended like a waning crescent moon. It first blasted straight through the wall ahead, then crashed heavily into the ground. The earth shook violently, and the entire palace was torn apart!

Outside, Yae-hime and Allie looked toward the commotion. They saw the palace disintegrate and collapse with a thunderous roar, sending thick clouds of dust billowing into the air.

However, the dust was quickly blasted away by the powerful auras from within, revealing seven figures.

“Our timing was perfect,” Yae-hime said with a smile.

Allie nodded lightly.

Under the moonlight, the soldiers in the Imperial Palace had already been defeated. Their bodies had all been sealed, and they lay scattered across the ground. Quite a few people had been killed or wounded in this battle, but there were still plenty of survivors.

Only then did Richard notice the changes outside. His handsome face was filled with confusion and disbelief. Blei, Gurant, and the Dark Mage also noticed what was happening around them, and their expressions were quite a sight to behold.

Suddenly, they realized that there was another Legend-rank powerhouse present. They were so shocked that their eyes nearly popped out and their jaws almost dropped.

“It was you, Allie!” Richard immediately recognized her, and his mind was rocked as though by a magnitude-twelve earthquake!
