Anna fired her arrows in rapid succession. In fact, she had already secretly laid out imprisoning arrows around the battlefield before each attack on the gray-clad man.

Now, at Mark's command, the verdant vine curse spread instantly, pinning them firmly to the ground like insects nailed to a specimen board.

The six gray-clad men, each possessing terrifying regenerative abilities, were completely rendered incapable of fighting within just two or three breaths by the coordinated burst of energy from Mark's team. They collapsed to the ground like worn-out dolls whose springs had been unwound.

"Done!" Enzo spat, clenched his fist, and looked regretful that he hadn't been able to completely smash the androids.

Mark's gaze swept quickly across the battlefield, confirming that Kyle's squad had charged into the collapsing orc ranks like tigers among sheep.

The target was the withered shaman who was staggered backward by the aftershocks of the holy light, but still tightly gripped the Bloodvine Heart.

However, just as the battle situation became clear in an instant, and everyone's attention was slightly distracted by the dust settling on the two battlefields,

laugh!

A piercing shriek, tearing through the air, erupted without warning from the densest, darkest forest behind the camp!

Unlike the sound of any arrow piercing the air, that sound was like the forest itself roaring in anger!

A breathtakingly emerald-green beam of light, like a jade meteor streaking across the night sky, suddenly illuminated the dark swamp!

Wherever it passed, decaying branches and leaves, and pervasive miasma seemed to be given a strange vitality, only to be drained and annihilated in an instant by the terrifying power contained in the arrow!

The arrows were aimed at Anna, the elven girl who had just finished firing a volley of arrows and was still unsteady on her feet!

This pure and deadly natural magic carries a sense of judgmental mission that cannot be avoided!

"Anna!!!"

The oppressive aura made Mark's scalp tingle instantly!

This feeling... is definitely true!

The person who shot that arrow was terrifyingly strong!

The force of this attack was comparable to the earth-shattering aura of the all-out battle between Commander Alfonso and the Puppeteer in Anchor Bay!

"We can't stop them! We absolutely can't stop them!"

Mark's mind was racing, but his body was moving faster than his thoughts!

He was closest to Anna, so he used his body to shield her?

It doesn't make any sense!

That beam of light will pierce through him and tear Anna apart!

"【Forbidden Holy Scripture】! Open!!"

Mark's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and all pretense and reservations were thrown to the winds in that moment!

He suddenly reached into his robes with his right arm, and the heavy tome with its white cover and black background reflecting the starry sky instantly unfolded, its pages turning wildly without any wind!

Buzz—!

A thick, almost tangible, seven-colored black light shield instantly appeared in front of Anna!

Then Mark went up and shoved Anna, trying to push her away from where the arrows were aimed.

"Enzo! Hammer!!!"

Enzo's reaction was only half a beat slower than Mark's!

Almost instinctively, as a dwarf warrior, he roared and hurled the legendary warhammer inscribed with lava runes, which had accompanied him in battle for half a year, with all his might toward the trajectory of the emerald light arrow!

The moment the warhammer left the hand, all the runes on its surface lit up, transforming into a burning lava meteor!

Everything happened in a flash!

Pfft—!

The Holy Light Shield was pierced through in less than half a breath the instant it came into contact with the emerald light arrow, like butter being cut by a red-hot knife!

The light arrow, with almost no decrease in speed, crashed fiercely into the lava warhammer that Enzo had hurled with all his might!

Then, there was only a sharp, teeth-grinding screech that seemed to tear space apart!

CRACK——!!!!!!!!!

The legendary lava warhammer, an equipment powerful enough to shatter dragon scales, shattered like fragile glass before that emerald light arrow!

Countless burning lava fragments scattered like a meteor shower, and apart from the parts that belonged to mithril, the rest were completely annihilated by the light arrows!

The arrow of light paused only slightly, its light dimming by less than 30%, but it still carried the terrifying power to destroy everything as it shot toward Anna, who was being pushed back by Mark!

"Aaaaaah—Stop it right now!!!"

Mark's roar was hoarse and torn from his vocal cords!

In the instant the warhammer shattered, he had mobilized every ounce of power he could muster.

The seven-colored black light, the cross necklace, and even the magic that Little M had given him were all poured into his arms!

The disguise of holy light faded, and instantly the skin of his arms was covered with runes outlined by the intersection of seven-colored black light. His muscles bulged to the limit, and his blood vessels bulged like earthworms!

Instead of retreating, he advanced, crossing his arms to form a full-body shield from the cross necklace, and fiercely met the remaining emerald light arrow!

He's going to fight head-on!

boom--!!!!

A deafening crash sounded!

The moment the giant cross shield made contact with the emerald light arrow, a blinding burst of light erupted!

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

Even though the weapon formed from the cross necklace possessed the property of eternity, it could not truly block the impact of this arrow for Mark.

After Mark's own magic was depleted and offset, the cross necklace was also unable to block the magic attack transmitted through the shield for Mark!

“Ugh—!!!”

Mark let out a scream that sounded like a human!

He clearly heard the terrifying sound of his arm bones shattering inch by inch!

An overwhelming force, containing the power to destroy life, surged wildly into his arm, destroying his meridians and bones with devastating force!

He was struck head-on by a charging beast, spitting out blood as he was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing heavily into a rotting swamp behind him, splashing up filth everywhere!

Fortunately, after this attack, Mark managed to block the arrow that came from the shadows with his own body.

However, in order to block this arrow, Enzo's legendary warhammer shattered!

Mark's arms were shattered!

The price was extremely high!

"mark!!!"

Enzo's eyes were bloodshot, and molten light flowed wildly beneath his obsidian-like skin. A small runic hammer instantly appeared in his hand, and a violent aura soared into the sky as he lunged towards the direction from which the light arrow had been shot!

Monica's figure appeared like a ghost at the spot where Mark had fallen, her wine-red eyes as cold as ice.

The faint light of the [Ring of Truth (IX)] flickered rapidly, and an invisible ripple of identification swept across Mark in an instant.

Only after confirming that although the other party's magic had invaded Mark's body, the uncontrollable seven-colored black light contained within Mark's body had completely cleared away the invading magic did he feel slightly relieved.

She quickly took out the healing scroll stored in her ring to restore Mark's status.

However, Anna, who should have immediately regrouped with her teammates and launched a timely counterattack, stood frozen in place.

The emerald pupils contracted sharply, reflecting the slowly dissipating emerald light arrow's trajectory, as well as the lingering aura on the arrow that was so familiar it made the soul tremble.

This is a natural magical imprint belonging to the High Elf Royal Court, carrying a sense of judgment!

Her face turned ashen, her lips trembled slightly, as if she had witnessed the most terrifying nightmare come true, and she fell into a dazed, disoriented state.
