CHAPTER 1864 JOINING HANDS
At this moment, the demoness' power soared in an instant, breaking Anya's power that was restraining her until now. In the blink of an eye, she was able to move freely again. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"I don't care if you don't want to tell me who you are. After all, I don't need to know everyone that I am about to kill!" the demoness exclaimed. Because of the sudden increase of her strength, even the intensity that could be felt by the people inside her Spiritual Domain also doubled.
At the same time, the entire area within a thousand meters around the Demon Sealing Palace also shook and trembled violently.
Most of the warriors of the Shura Race inside the Spiritual Domain had begun to go mad and lose their minds since their mental state was already weak in the first place.
It seemed that the demoness' Spiritual Domain had a huge impact on someone's mind, and only those who had strong willpower could resist it. Otherwise, one would easily collapse and be incapacitated.
At this point, only Zain, Layla, Enoch, Rocky, Valeria, the other Godly Geniuses, and the masters at the medium stage and premium stage of the Shura Realm could hold on. The rest of the warriors had already lost consciousness or were on the brink of collapsing.
Of course, Anya, the strongest of them, was unaffected too. In fact, even after she had felt the demoness' overwhelming aura, there was still no hint of fear or worry on her face.
"Your Roya Highness, please take care of yourselves. I have to take action now," Rocky remarked. He was well aware that even with Anya's strength, she would not be able to defeat the demoness on her own. Hence, he had no choice but to go and help her.
Immediately after, he wasted no time and rushed over to Anya's side.
"Oh, good! Another one with a death wish came!" When Rocky first showed up, the demoness clearly did not think highly of him. However, she eventually noticed something strange about him. Then, her brows furrowed as she asked, "What the hell? Why do you also have the aura of a deity?"
"Why don't you guess?" Rocky merely sneered to provoke her.
"Don't tell me my plan was discovered by the guys from the Holy-Evil World? Humph! So what? Those bastards can't come here anyway. All they can do is send these useless puppets. Fine! I will play with you for a while before I slaughter you!" the demoness shouted. Although she speculated that her plan might have been exposed, she still did not take Rocky and Anya seriously. After all, she was confident that with her strength, she could easily crush both of them.
"Conceited bitch! Stop running your mouth and fight us!" It did not sit well with Anya that she was being underestimated by her opponent. Thus, she quickly made a move, intending to attack first.
In an instant, the two women were engaged in a fierce fight in midair. The waves of power caused by their exchanges of blows spread out and made the surrounding area tremble. They reached as far as a thousand meters away, making the warriors of the Shura Race feel very terrified.
However, although Anya had successfully got the demoness' full attention, the latter's Spiritual Domain still remained intact. As a result, Princess Layla and the rest could not find an opportunity to get out of there.
After the demoness increased the strength that she was using, it became more difficult for Anya to suppress her attacks. It was clear that Anya was now at a disadvantage. After all, her real strength had not actually reached the God Realm. It was still at the boundary of the Shura Realm and the God Realm.
On the other hand, the demoness' strength was already at the God Realm. But of course, she could not just show the extent of her powers since her physical body would not be able to cope up. However, at
the moment that she had no choice but to unleash her full strength, she would not hesitate to do so.
As time went by, the battle was getting one-sided. At this rate, Anya might be in huge trouble.
Hence, Rocky immediately summoned Rubygon and decided to join the battle. However, he did not summon the God-killing Sword just yet. It was his trump card, and If the demoness saw it, she would definitely become very vigilant. If that happened, it would be more difficult to fight her. Therefore, Rocky could only use the sword at the most appropriate time to give her a fatal blow.
Although Rocky and Rubygon had already joined the fray, the tide of the battle remained the same. After all, without the help of the God-killing Sword, Rocky's strength was just equivalent to the medium grade of the Shura Realm at best. Obviously, it was not enough to make a difference. Even Rubygon's strength was weaker than Anya's. The diabolic beast could cause some trouble for the demoness, but its strength would not be enough to hurt her badly.
With this, although it seemed that the battle was in a stalemate, the demoness still had the upper hand since Anya, Rocky, and Rubygon were already getting exhausted. Soon enough, they would not be able to resist the demoness' attacks and they would reach their limits. If this continued, they would certainly lose in the end.
"Layla, how about we go and help too? As far as I can see, they won't be able to last long." Thinking that something should be done, Zain finally swallowed his pride and asked Layla.
Even Layla was surprised upon hearing this. She did not expect that the proud prince would say this. The princess also knew that Rocky was like a thorn in his flesh, so it came as a shock that the prince wanted to help him.
Of course, everyone could see that at this point, if they did not make a move, all of the efforts exerted by Anya and Rocky would be in vain. Therefore, instead of just waiting for a chance to escape the Spiritual Domain, it would indeed be better for them to fight side by side against their common enemy.
If they wanted to survive and get back, they could only rely on each other. Hence, Zain made up his mind and proposed the idea to help fight the demoness.
"Layla, I know what you are thinking. We had some conflicts before, but we can forget all of those for now. Joining hands in this critical situation may be the only solution to resolve this," Zain uttered authoritatively.
"Yes. I get what you are saying." Layla had no problem doing what Zain wanted. After all, she also wanted to help Rocky in any way possible. Moreover, she could not let anything bad happen to him. She only borrowed his service from Gilbert, so she intended to return him safely to the Ghost Fief.
Upon establishing an agreement, Zain and Layla, together with three high-level Shura Realm masters, rushed into the battlefield to assist Rocky and Anya.
"Odin, we can't just sit back while you are fighting. We have to work together to bring down this demoness. As for the matter about the Demon Sealing Palace, we can discuss that later," Zain told Rocky with a serious expression. From his tone, Rocky recognized that the prince still wanted to accomplish the task that was given by the king.
On the other hand, after they fought the demoness for quite some time, Rocky learned that he might have underestimated her power. After all, even with the help of Anya and Rubygon, they were still unable to do anything to resist the demoness. Thus, when Zain and the others offered to fight together, he thought that it might be the only way to overcome the demoness.
"All right. I actually have a way to defeat her, but I need you guys to distract her. I only have one shot to do it, so I need to time it perfectly." Ever since he and Anya started fighting the demoness, he was not able to find any chance to use the God-killing Sword. But if Zain and the others could somehow distract her, he might have the chance to launch a sneak attack and utilize the sword to the fullest.
"I also have a plan in mind. If you can restrain her again for a few moments, I will use the top treasure of the Shura Race to deal with her." Zain did not agree with what Rocky said, but instead, he laid out his idea so as not to be overshadowed. After all, he thought that he was the one more suited to handle a powerful enemy.
Out of nowhere, Anya butted in and asked, "This treasure, are you referring to the Demonic Dragon Blade?"
"Yes... How did you know about it?" Zain was taken aback that this woman actually knew about the weapon since only a few people in the Shura Race knew about it. In fact, he had only borrowed it from the king before he entered the Ghostly Demon Land just in case he needed it.
"Then, I'm afraid we should go with Odin's plan. The Demonic Dragon Blade is just an ordinary divine weapon, and it can't compare with his weapon," Anya bluntly replied, rejecting Zain's idea. Of course, Anya was telling the truth. According to the standard of the divine treasures in the Holy-Evil World, although the Demonic Dragon Blade was regarded as the top treasure of the Shura Race, it was the most basic divine weapon in existence. It could only be effective against warriors at the peak stage of the Shura Realm. However, since the demoness already had the strength at the God Realm, only the God-killing Sword could deal her damage.
"What do you mean? Odin has a more powerful divine weapon?" Zain's eyes quickly narrowed as he cast a glance at Rocky.
At the same time, Layla and the other powerful masters also shifted their gazes to Rocky.
