Cipher kicked at the Flame Reaver, but having adapted to her attack frequency, the Flame Reaver directly blocked with the crescent-shaped weapon. If Cipher hadn't quickly retracted her foot, her calf could have been cut off by the Flame Reaver.
Cipher landed on the ground, panting slightly.
She looked towards Mydei's side and found Nikador had already been mostly eaten. Cipher asked Mydei, "This guy's strength really is tricky. Mydei, how's the situation over there?"
"Almost done, the monster's devouring speed is accelerating. Cipher, if it tries to devour me later, remember to pull me out."
Mydei said, panting heavily.
Suppressing Nikador consumed much more energy than fighting Him; even Mydei was exhausted now. Asking Cipher to pull him away was mainly because he didn't want to suffer such a humiliating death.
Mydei wasn't afraid of death, but being torn apart by a monster and swallowed? Mydei didn't want that kind of end.
"Okay, then remember to pay me more." Cipher looked towards the sky. At this moment, Castorice and the Flame Reaver were fighting. The Flame Reaver swung his sword, sending Castorice flying to the ground.
Cipher quickly rushed up, attacking rapidly around the Flame Reaver, interfering with his movements.
Derick's avatar opened its mouth to the limit, swallowing Nikador mouthful by mouthful. Mydei, seeing this, also used his maximum strength to push Nikador into the avatar's 'mouth'.
"Ah..."
Mydei roared, pushing Nikador's entire body into the avatar's 'mouth'.
After doing this, he completely lost all strength. Barely managing not to collapse, he glared fiercely at the red-eyed monster, watching its next move.
And then...
Derick's avatar turned and left without looking back.
Are you kidding? Staying here is too close to the main body. If I stay too long, the danger level is too high.
Seeing this, Mydei couldn't support his body anymore and sat on the ground. Staring at the departing avatar, he memorized its appearance.
"After this is over, I must kill it and retrieve the Titan's Core Flame."
Mydei thought inwardly.
Up in the sky, Cipher saw this situation and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Good, good, this fellow left after eating Nikador. I don't need to spend energy saving Mydei.
"In that case, I can totally pocket that guy Mydei's money for free."
Cipher thought excitedly.
But seeing the Flame Reaver about to pursue, she quickly kicked out to block him.
"Don't even think about going over there."
This time, the Flame Reaver seized the opportunity. After hitting Cipher with his weapon and making her lose balance, he raised a foot and kicked her hard in the abdomen, sending her crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Almost got kicked to death!"
Falling to the ground, Cipher clutched her stomach and thought inwardly.
Soon after, Castorice was also hit by the Flame Reaver and fell to the ground. Cipher glanced over and saw she was also seriously injured.
But not life-threatening.
Derick and Trianne arrived in the arena. Derick quickly went to support Castorice.
"Hey..."
Cipher couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Fortunately, Trianne came over to her side at this moment.
Patting her shoulder, Trianne said seriously, "Cipher, you both did very well. Next, it's my turn to act."
The Flame Reaver wasn't looking towards the arena. Seeing Derick's avatar already far away, he planned to quickly rush over and chase it.
Trianne looked at him, then looked up at the sky.
The energy of the Blade of Condemnation hadn't been vented, but without Nikador's control, it was slowly falling.
If it hit the ground, its power could destroy Castrum Kremnos.
Trianne stretched out her hands, immense energy bursting from her small palms.
"Hundred-Realms Gate, open!"
On the path the Flame Reaver was flying towards, a golden triangular doorway appeared. And from this doorway, triangular energy ripples emerged, enveloping the Flame Reaver.
The Flame Reaver felt an immense suction force, trying to pull him into the doorway.
But even after a prolonged battle, he still had energy resisting Trianne's Hundred-Realms Gate absorption.
"Yaaaah..."
Seeing him slow to enter the Hundred-Realms Gate, Trianne immediately increased her power.
In two or three seconds, sweat beaded on her forehead. Releasing the Hundred-Realms Gate consumed a huge amount of her stamina. If the Flame Reaver couldn't enter the gate soon, her stamina would be completely depleted.
Derick, having helped Castorice to a safe place, saw Trianne couldn't get the Flame Reaver into the Hundred-Realms Gate immediately and grew anxious.
Looking at the Flame Reaver, he pushed off with both feet, using the broken walls of the arena to launch himself towards the Flame Reaver's back.
"Derick, come back!?"
Seeing his action, Castorice couldn't help but shout loudly.
Cipher and the others who saw this action couldn't help but look sideways. Especially Cipher; she never imagined Derick was actually hiding strength while with her.
What is he trying to do?
Derick flew mid-air towards the Flame Reaver's back and kicked fiercely.
Not expecting another attack, the Flame Reaver lost his balance under the surprise blow. Derick seized the chance, pushing both himself and the Flame Reaver into the Hundred-Realms Gate.
One second they entered the gate, the next they appeared high above Castrum Kremnos.
Right where the Blade of Condemnation was falling.
"What are you doing!?"
"Come on, let's taste the power of this thing together."
Derick gritted his teeth behind the Flame Reaver.
Then, the Blade of Condemnation collided with the Flame Reaver and Derick.
All the accumulated battle intent energy from the fight between Nikador, the Flame Reaver, Castorice, Mydei, and the others was unleashed at this moment.
Castorice, Mydei, Cipher, Trianne, and the others looked up at the sky.
Light appeared in the dark sky, so dazzling it was impossible to look directly at. The intense explosion formed an orange-red core wrapped in an indigo halo, with strange white light curling at the edges. Its shape reminded Trianne of the mushrooms Derick had brought over.
The entire Castrum Kremnos was illuminated as if by daylight, all buildings clearly visible.
And then, a roaring sound came. The city began to vibrate violently. Most buildings in Castrum Kremnos showed signs of collapse.
Cipher still had some strength left; she quickly grabbed Mydei and Trianne, moving them to a safe place.
Castorice had already been moved to safety by Derick, so Cipher didn't need to worry about how to move her now.
