Melantha's extensive combat experience during the Silent Era allowed her to successfully keep up with Skadi's pace.

With Amiya's help, Melantha dodged attacks and captures from the Hand of God while shielding Skadi from several beams of darkness emanating from Theresis's body.

The offensive and defensive strategies of the two players shifted in an instant.

Skadi, wielding her greatsword and with a burst of red light in her eyes, activated without hesitation the power bestowed upon her by the Lord of the Horde.

Wow!

The entire venue seemed to be churning with waves, and the sound of the surging waves rang in everyone's ears.

At the same time, Skadi slightly opened her mouth and sang softly.

Then countless echoes spread and reverberated.

She wanted to recreate the splendor that once belonged to "Great Tranquility" in this space.

In that endless silence, the tides rise and fall, surge and recede, and the sea will become the master of this land.

Skadi, as the sole leader of the large group, will exert an invisible influence on everyone.

Theresis's main body retracted all the other clones, preventing Skadi from using the Wedge Stone Greatsword to continuously weaken her power.

And that's exactly what Skadi wanted!

Ding!

The greatsword struck the carapace, and the surging black mist fled from that part of Theresis's body in a panic.

Skadi ignored everything and, standing still, gripped her greatsword, which had been bounced back by the shell, and slammed it down again!

It was almost like using a greatsword as a hammer. But under Skadi's inhuman strength, dense spiderweb-like patterns appeared on the surface of her carapace with each strike.

Fragments of broken lines coalesced on the carapace, eventually disintegrating into fragments that revealed the soft, writhing body beneath.

Skadi's eyes gleamed red with undiminished power. She swung her greatsword, which had sprung up once again, to the side, held it squarely, and thrust it down fiercely!

The wedge-shaped greatsword pierced through the supple body of the abyss.

"Melantha!"

Skadi called out Melantha's name loudly.

Melantha had been observing Skadi's situation for some time. Before Skadi could even speak, she had already sheathed her sword and swiftly moved to Skadi's side.

As soon as Skadi finished speaking, the sharp blade hidden in its sheath was drawn fiercely in the reflection of the raging fire!

Combat Techniques (Iaijutsu)

No one could dodge this slash.

The speed was enough to tear through space, causing the flames to wail and disappear from sight.

The enormous gash left its mark once again on the twisted body.

This time, under the influence of the wedge-shaped greatsword, Theresis has lost the power to sever her body.

The initial flames spread upwards along the black mist rising from the carapace, and in the blink of an eye, they completely covered Theresis.

"Ahhh! @#JPY%……JPY#@!**&……JPY%"

The inhuman howls struggled to squeeze out of the flames as it burned.

He was ultimately severely wounded by Melantha's sword.

Before Melanie could even feel happy.

Just as she was still struggling to keep up with her strength, a dark shadow swept past her.

This malice wasn't directed at her; Melantha was completely unaware of the attack from the Hand of God at that moment.

Skadi, who was right behind Melantha, had no idea that the Hand of God would abandon Melantha and run towards her instead.

The hand of God, formed into a gigantic fist and imbued with tens of thousands of years of malice, slammed into Skadi with unparalleled force.

At that moment, Skadi lost all thought and expression.

The greatsword in her hand rolled helplessly to the ground.

Her beautiful body, like a dark shadow, crashed straight down into the darkness.

What's even more chilling is that Skadi's body didn't stop moving on the black screen.

The darkness was like a phantom; Skadi passed through it and disappeared into this world.

Then, the hand of God extended its index finger.

The beam of light condensed from her knuckles was aimed at Skadi, about to burst forth amidst the mist.

"Don't even think about it!"

Amiya's sweet voice suddenly exploded, and without hesitation, she used her skill [Devour] to deviate from the abyssal death ray that was about to rush towards Melantha.

But right in Amiya's sight, the Hand of God turned its entire back.

At that moment, the Abyss Death Ray faced Amiya and shot out with a roar.

Amiya could only instinctively raise her left shield to protect herself.

boom!

The deafening roar that shattered the sound barrier, accompanied by the surging torrents of the abyss, crashed against the great shield in front of Amiya.

[Devour] is not a panacea. If it could block all attacks, then devouring would be the strongest shield in the world.

The great shield inherited from the Patriot stood before Amiya, doing everything in its power to protect her from any harm.

Amiya gritted her teeth and persevered.

The rings on her right hand were breaking off one by one, because Amiya, who was not yet an adult, had not yet been trained to the point of being tempered and refined.

To be able to act in this way in the face of the will of the gods, she has already given her all.

After the Abyss Death Ray ended, Amiya's body had exhausted all its strength.

The rings on his right hand disappeared completely, turning into dust mixed with black mist.

The remnants of the abyss remaining on the shield slowly began to glow.

An explosion was heard.

Amiya flew backward helplessly, disappearing into the darkness before Melantha's sight.

At this moment, the hand of God turned back, its twisted and writhing skin seeming to mock the mortals' resolve.

The will of the gods of the abyss has never ignored even a single insect.

In His desire to devour all things, all living beings are laid bare before Him.

From the moment he appeared in this place, His target was only Melantha, or rather, the bright first fire within her.

In His eyes, the many creatures of Terra will one day lose the protection of the world's barrier.

He has endured for tens of thousands of years, so a little more time won't make a difference.

But the fire right before our eyes is an absolutely irreplaceable delicacy.

"Ah!"

Melantha instinctively uttered a word, but Amiya could no longer hear it.

This is a forbidden zone formed by the will of the gods.

Once blasted out, no one can break back in unless God's Hand deactivates it.

In the blink of an eye, only Melanie remained.

The situation was reversed in an instant.

Within the burning body of Theresis, a dark shadow, enveloped in the remaining residual power, cautiously flew out from the cracked and burned skin.

Severely wounded, Theresis stretched out her body once more amidst the black mist-shrouded world.

Surrounded by black mist, his body slowly recovered.

“I’ve remembered this pain #JPY……*&*.

At this moment, Therese's tone returned to its chilling silence.

He knew he didn't have much time left. But the more tense the moment, the more important it was not to lose his composure.

There are many ways to rule Terra. Even if the one who came today isn't an undead, the girl in front of me still possesses genuine fire.

The gods of the abyss will be pleased with his offerings and will bestow upon him even more.

Melantha instinctively bit her lower lip, her mind racing as she tried to find a way out of the predicament.

After Amiya and Skadi left, she certainly couldn't launch an attack on Theresis on her own.

She was already exhausted from dealing with the attacks of the Hand of God.

At this critical moment, Melantha's vision swayed slightly, and she felt a slight dizziness.

The Abyss Advocate's voice echoed in her ears once more, and amidst this interference, the flames on the blade weakened slightly.

"Oh no..."

Melanza tried her best to cheer herself up, but could only silently lament her misery.

Amiya is her only means of combating the corruption of the abyss.

Even though he could bear the Primordial Flame, he didn't have the same strong will as the Undead to trample this desire underfoot.

As her strength waned, Melantha mustered her last bit of willpower, staring intently at the Hand of God, completely ignoring Theresis behind her.

She knew that Theresis was not the greatest threat; the desire of the Hand of God was the malice that could overwhelm the First Flame.

However, when the God of War started moving, Melantha was horrified to find that she no longer had the same sharp skills as when the battle had begun.

The air around me felt heavy, as if it were squeezing me, and my legs felt like they were made of lead, making me unwilling to move.

In the blink of an eye, the hand of God traversed countless distances, and the will of God crashed head-on into Melantha without reservation.

Melantha could only raise the straight knife in her hand.

boom!

The girl's body took the full force of the blow, her feet leaving cracks on the ground.
