"Bang!"
A burst of lightning flashed, and dense energy particles condensed in the void, forming a magic circle with a diameter of three meters that covered the ground.
In an instant, starlight burst forth, dazzling and radiant, and two slender figures, condensing from the ethereal into reality, gradually emerged from the starlight.
One was tall and clad in blood-patterned battle armor, wielding a longsword; the other wore a simple nun's robe, holding a religious text, the loose robe unable to conceal her voluptuous figure.
But the two were taken aback, for the surrounding woods were ablaze, the roaring flames like a ferocious demon, surging towards them with a scorching heat.
"roar!"
A deafening roar erupted as a massive porcupine burst forth, tearing through the flames. Its surging, powerful blood energy resembled a raging ocean, launching a fierce attack!
"presumptuous!"
Kyle's expression was grim as he slashed down with his sword, which carried a sharp spiritual force.
"Tear!"
A flash of sword light swept across the porcupine, accompanied by a terrifying gust of wind!
Behind the porcupine, the burning sea of fire seemed to have been cleaved in two by a sword, and most of it dissipated!
"Lulu lulu..."
The porcupine charging head-on took a few steps, and a clear crack appeared on its body, extending from the middle of its head, along its spine-covered back, all the way to its tail.
The next moment, a spray of blood erupted, and the porcupine was torn in two!
"Splash!"
The massive body collapsed at Kyle's feet, the suffocatingly dense aura instantly dissipating, and the heavy stench of blood spread out, causing Sister Mary to cover her nose in disgust.
Kyle awakened his spiritual potential, and to a certain extent, he used his spiritual power to condense the ethereal into the tangible, causing invisible harm.
"The teleportation array has really been destroyed."
Mary frowned. She cast a defensive spell to ward off the sea of fire, then crouched down and searched the surrounding area for materials to build a magic circle. Unfortunately, they were all destroyed.
This caused the teleportation array in the Divine Court Church to need to be repositioned, and it took some time before Kyle and Mary were teleported over.
"This is my dereliction of duty."
Kyle said apologetically, his eyes cold as he looked at the surrounding forest engulfed in flames: "No one expected that those two druids would be so cunning, willing to abandon resources in order to destroy this place with fire. I should have stayed to participate in this operation and reduced the losses."
With his keen senses, he naturally noticed the extraordinary nature of this flame.
The demonic flames were so intense that even mid-level water magic might not be able to extinguish them; instead, it fueled the fire.
This reminded Kyle of a fox he had followed during the "Stepmother Blows Up Grave" and "Sewer Explosion" incidents. The raging flames were so similar to the fire before him, giving him a sense of familiarity.
Little fox!
Kael suspected that one of the druids was actually a fox in disguise, a possibility that seemed quite plausible.
"Contact Brian. With Brian in charge of Starstone Fortress, there shouldn't be too much trouble."
Sister Mary smiled, covering her red lips, her face showing a hint of allure.
Upon hearing this, Kyle hesitated for a moment.
Sister Mary was unaware of the operation to wipe out the Divine Court staff. If she had gone to Starstone Fortress, she would have found that all the Divine Court staff there had been slaughtered and sacrificed to become nourishment for the Divine Tree.
"roar!"
A beastly roar interrupted Kyle and Mary's conversation. The earth trembled, and the monsters living in the forest became enraged, chaotic, bloodthirsty, and savage, causing a massive beast tide to surge out!
A tall, black rhinoceros with a single horn, its eyes bloodshot, led its herd to migrate outwards.
I was diving and soaking in the lake when I came out and, damn it, the fire was raging, and my home, which was covered with lush aquatic plants, was gone!
The fire burned everything to the ground. The armored lizard next door carried its eggs and moved away, and the grumpy squirrels living in the trees ran away with a bag of food. Only this group of silly creatures were left, still taking a bath.
Frustration, anger, and resentment filled the black rhinoceros's chest.
Who the hell is so despicable as to set fire to the forest?! You'll be locked up in jail for life!
After a valiant attempt to extinguish the fire failed, the demonic flames even managed to ignite a lake, and the potential damage instilled deep fear in the black rhinoceros!
Immediately, the black rhinoceros chief gave an order, commanding his people to follow him and run away, charging forward at breakneck speed!
"Put-put-put!"
More than twenty black rhinos gathered into a black tide in the red maple forest where flames danced, and trampled away!
The porcupine that was killed was frightened, which caused it to unleash its blood energy and attack Kyle.
"Walk!"
Kyle said, his magical energy erupting, and he transformed into a streak of light, heading towards Starstone Fortress with Sister Mary.
Subsequently, a large number of monsters followed them, all heading to the same destination.
...
"roar!"
The beasts roared, and the monsters trampled the wooden bridge over the rushing river, fleeing across the grasslands, though their speed slowed down.
"boom!"
The blazing flames swept through, engulfing a pile of collapsed ruins in the sea of fire, leaving the two who came to Brian's aid momentarily stunned.
"This is Starstone Fortress?!"
Mary covered her mouth in shock. Even though she had secretly given Minnie a detailed map to sabotage the Star Pulse Tree project, she never expected that the fortress that cultivated the tree would collapse and that Brian, who was guarding it, would disappear without a trace.
This far exceeded her expectations, several times higher than her target.
"this!"
Kyle stared in astonishment at the Starstone Fortress engulfed in flames, his mental energy sensing traces of charred remains.
More importantly, Brian, who was guarding this place, has disappeared!
"Wait... Brian! Brian still hasn't replied to my message!"
Kyle was utterly horrified, his mind racing with a thousand thoughts.
The most likely outcome is that Brian will kill a group of priests, secretly refine the Sequence Tree, and dominate Titan City after officially entering the Gold Rank!
Because that's Kyle's real purpose in vying for this spot.
"The bishop has sent word that Brian... has fallen."
Mary, who was examining the traces of the battlefield, suddenly opened her bright eyes wide and exclaimed in horror.
The impact of this intelligence on her was no less than that of the Divine Court being crushed by a powerful enemy.
"Fallen? Impossible! Brian activated nine potential halos and was only half a step away from stepping onto the Golden Path. How could he possibly perish in the interdimensional battlefield under our control!"
Kyle expressed disbelief. Brian, as the chief knight of the Divine Court, was regarded as the successor to the next bishop. He had broken the human limit nine times and, after awakening his potential, became the number one fighter in the Divine Court!
Until Mary held a crystal ball, and under the tracking of divine magic, a layer of mist appeared inside, Kyle approached it.
This is a magical artifact that only Sister Mary can master; it allows one to locate the person they are calling for within a certain range.
Magical energy surged, and the clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a clear sky, burning branches, and tadpoles floating on the water...
Mary: "..."
Kyle: "..."
Um... why is Brian's position moving...?
Where are they?
