The vines in front of Nesser grew rapidly, breaking through the soil and climbing up the city wall.
The moment he reached him, Nesser slid down the vines, desperately breaking through the horde of monsters.
However, Maggie fell too far from the city wall, and it was too difficult for her to get close, especially since she was alone.
The three figures were fighting desperately among the monsters, while Charles had only just recovered his senses.
He looked at the large pit with a complicated expression, closed his eyes with difficulty, and gave a loud order.
"Rearrange the formation. Don't focus too much on Her Highness the Holy Maiden. All our current advantages are the result of Her Highness's desperate efforts. We must defend the city."
"We absolutely cannot let Her Highness's efforts go to waste."
His reason told him that he should not act rashly. Gathering people now to break through the encirclement and rescue the saintess whose fate was unknown would only result in the loss of the hard-won gains.
If it were Her Highness the Holy Maiden, she would definitely support him in doing so.
Charles resisted the urge to rush down and save people. He needed to stay and oversee the mobilization of mages and swordsmen; the city would surely descend into chaos after he left.
He was the commander-in-chief of the corps, and although there were three others, they could only mobilize their respective regiments.
As Charles issued his well-ordered orders, the previously chaotic magicians regained their composure and began to reverse the monsters' attack.
The situation has returned to an advantageous position.
Charles breathed a small sigh of relief, but his eyes remained fixed on the three figures desperately advancing through the horde of monsters, silently praying that Her Highness the Saintess would be alright.
The smoke and dust at the bottom of the pit lingered for a long time, and no one knew the true situation at the bottom of the pit; they could only wait anxiously.
Meanwhile, at the bottom of the pit.
Maggie and Lilia were intertwined, with Lilia pinning Maggie's legs down, while Maggie had one hand around Lilia's neck and the other holding a crucifix against her chest.
Maggie wore a wicked and mocking smile as she met Lilia's gaze, both of them unable to move.
Her pure white saintly robes were soaked in blood, the hem of her skirt looking as if it had been exploded with blood, and bright red blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
The moment she crashed to the ground, she coughed up a mouthful of blood due to the severe impact on her internal organs, which splattered all over Lilia, leaving Lilia with blood on her cheeks.
But paired with her morbid and manic expression, she resembled a beautiful but deranged serial killer from a comic book, and with her sharp fingernails attempting to pierce Maggie's neck veins, the image was both beautiful and dark.
"Lilia, guess who will die first?"
As Maggie spoke, she coughed up a lot of blood and foam from her throat, and her voice was extremely weak, but her attitude showed no sign of weakness; on the contrary, it was full of provocation.
"I guess you'll die first."
Lilia smirked, her alluring and sexy face laced with malice.
They both knew the other was being stubborn, so they would see who bled out first or whose strength ran out first, and that person would die first.
Lilia is also feeling unwell. For some reason, the moment the two landed, all her power seemed to be sealed off.
Or you could say that the magic around her seemed to have been drained, and she couldn't use any magic at all.
As a result, just like last time, she was caught off guard and fell to the ground, sustaining serious injuries.
Even her innate vampire talent was bound by an unknown force, preventing her from fully utilizing it.
The only difference between her and ordinary humans now is that her physical abilities are better than those of humans.
But the woman beneath him was like a monster; despite being severely injured and on the verge of death, she could still resist him for so long.
Whenever she felt she couldn't go on, she would always unleash an extraordinary strength.
"Unfortunately, you're going to be disappointed."
Maggie was still coughing, blood trickling down the corner of her mouth, but her voice remained calm.
The mist in this area is a sealing field that she deliberately stored in her staff beforehand. The field will be activated if it is subjected to a violent impact.
We should also thank the little ghost for her extensive knowledge; she even knows magic from such a remote underworld, and it just so happens that she can use it.
There's no magic in this place, so she can't use magic, and neither can Lilia.
In addition, she prematurely activated the Primordial Curse within her, which suppressed Lilia's vampire power to its limit, making her almost indistinguishable from an ordinary human.
She knew she couldn't beat Lilia in a one-on-one fight, so she tried to bring them to the same level.
Even without her supernatural powers, how much stronger could Lilia be than her?
Besides, she had made preparations in advance. Knowing that she would be seriously injured and on the verge of death, she wouldn't be foolish enough to go straight for it.
Perhaps because Maggie's expression was too obvious, Lilia also realized that her condition was most likely related to Maggie.
"You're a madman!"
Lilia seemed to understand something, her expression changed drastically, as if she hadn't expected Maggie to play her cards this way, which was completely beyond human comprehension.
How many humans would take such a risk, deliberately putting themselves in danger just to kill someone? That's worse than being insane.
"It must feel bad to have tried to attack me four times and failed even once, right?"
Maggie smiled.
"Ha, but you are still human after all."
Lilia desperately tried to calm herself down and gave a cold laugh.
She is very different from Maggie; vampires ultimately have a stronger ability to heal their ears than humans.
Given enough time, Maggie will never be able to surpass her.
"So what?"
Maggie countered with a question.
She has stopped coughing up blood. The potion she drank beforehand is working and is repairing her wounds inside her body. Her strength is also slowly returning.
As the one who sets up the game, how could the game be truly fair? Cheating is the norm.
The Sun-level healing potion was incredibly rare and expensive; if she hadn't just become rich overnight, she really wouldn't have been able to afford so many gold coins to buy it.
Lilia was still immersed in her fantasy that she could definitely defeat a human, and before she was completely exhausted, she began to put pressure on Maggie.
He even stopped answering Maggie's questions.
The two men's arms were locked in combat, and their bodies were visibly trembling—a testament to their all-out effort.
Time ticked by, and Maggie took a deep breath, putting all her strength into her arm. With a swift movement, they switched positions. Lilia desperately tried to stop Maggie from holding the cross, but blood was already seeping from her chest.
"Lilia, I won this time."
Maggie gasped for breath. She didn't have much time. She activated the barrier within her body to keep the demons away, but the barrier's duration was limited.
She's currently low on health; if she gets surrounded by monsters, the consequences could be dire.
