King Leonida charged forward to attack Berith at high speed. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Berith and slashed his sword.

Clank…

Berith who saw the direction of his attack easily parried it. He smiled mockingly as he parried King Leonida’s attack without moving from where he was standing. King Leonida who saw his attack couldn’t touch Berith at all quickly backed away and took some distance from him.

His black ring began to emit a black aura and enveloped him. The power of King Leonida rose dramatically. But this is not without side effects. The black ring he wore to increase his current strength was a cursed ring. The ring he found in a ruin on the edge of the continent when he was still an adventurer. The ring that could increase one level of strength could only last an hour. After that, the user will not be able to move for a month. That’s why King Leonida would never have used it if he wasn’t in a very dangerous situation.

Another tool that he uses to multiply his power is a king rank artifact in the form of a ring which is the treasure of the Aurelia Kingdom. Unlike the black ring, this ring does not have too severe side effects. The ring will only weaken the user for 3 days but he can still move. With the combined side effects of both rings, King Leonida would have to spend at least 30 days in bed.

King Leonida attacks Berith again after his strength increases greatly. His attack power and speed were many times higher than before. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Berith then swung his sword.

Clank…

This time Berith moved from where he was standing when he received an attack from King Leonida. Little by little Berith was pushed back while parrying his attacks.

“Hehe…you’re great for getting me pushed back like this! But how long will you last?” Berith laughs despite the pressure from King Leonida.

On the other hand, the students were anxious to see their fight, especially Princess Freya and Prince Fritz.

“Brother, will the father be okay?” Princess Freya is worried about her father’s current situation. She knew what his father was currently using and what the side effects would be.

“He will be fine. We have to trust him. He is one of the strongest people on the continent.” Prince Fritz tries to calm his sister down.

“He’s right, Freya. I’m sure uncle will be fine.” princess aishia held her hand which made her feel calmer.

(Ziel, where are you? Please come back soon!)

Princess Freya secretly thought about the return of someone she believed could change all these situations.

“While they are busy fighting, you must also do your duty. Kill them all!” Lilith gave an order to Princess Iris behind her. She pointed to the group of students guarded by Merlick and the teachers.

Princess Iris didn’t say anything and just followed what Lilith said. The person who has planted the seed will obey the person who planted it. She charged forward at high speed and was already in front of the students. Just as she was about to attack, suddenly a small pyramid-like object flew over her. From the pyramid emerged a barrier that encircled Princess Iris.

“Fortunately I came just in time.” The one who just came was King Raghnall. When he was told that Merlick and the teachers had gone to check the origin of the earlier scream, he was doing a check on the magic train engine. But he felt a bad feeling and soon caught up with them.

“Father!” Princess Rinne ran and hugged King Raghnall.

“Are you okay? What about your friends?” King Raghnall rubbed his daughter’s head and looked at the condition of the students in front of him.

“Thanks for coming to help, Raghnall. By the way, that thing is…” Merlick looked at the floating pyramid that encircled Princess Iris.

“Dad, isn’t that an artifact you’ve found but don’t know its use and rank yet? How did you suddenly activate it?” Princess Rinne tilted her head looking at her father. She had seen it before when his father was researching it.

“Ahaha… I was able to activate it. I just didn’t tell you. This artifact should be saint rank and above and should be enough to hold her in for now. What we have to worry about is the robed person who hasn’t moved.” King Raghnall looked at Lilith with a gloomy face. He felt the strength of the person in front of him was extraordinary.

“You’re right, Raghnall. I’m sure she’s even stronger than the guy who fought Leo.” Merlick watched King Leonida’s fight that was still going on. But berith looks like he’s playing with him.

“Haa…why did insects like you appear one after another. I didn’t expect humans to still have artifacts like that. Looks like I’ll have to finish you off myself.” Lilith walked gracefully and elegantly towards them.

“Merlick be careful…” King Raghnall didn’t have time to finish his words, he looked at his chest which was currently pierced by a sharp purple crystal. Lilith was already behind him thrusting her spear.

“Father!” Princess Rinne screamed hysterically. She wanted to run and help King Raghnall but Merlick grabbed her and quickly put some distance from Lilith.

“We have to get out of here right away! Kalya, Beatrix, Flavio take the students away as far as possible! I’ll try to hold her back!” Merlick handed Princess Rinne to Flavio, but before he could look at Lilith he suffered the same fate as King Raghnall.

The students and teachers had already started moving to get away from that place. But Princess Rinne continues to rebel to help her father.

“You think I’ll just let you guys go?” Lilith then pulled her spear from Merlick’s body and blood spurted from the wound.

“Ugh…so fast. Even I can’t see it.” Merlick knelt and clutched the stab wound to his chest. In front of him, he saw King Raghnall already lying unconscious.

“Stop messing around and get it done right away!” Lilith shouted at Berith who was fighting King Leonida. She stabbed her spear at King Raghnall’s pyramid artifact. After the artifact was destroyed, Princess Iris was freed from the barrier that was holding her back.

“Kill them right now!” Lilith pointed at the group of students who were currently running away with their teachers.

Princess Iris quickly moved and chased after them. When she approached and was about to attack, an arrow shot at high speed was already in front of her face. But Princess Iris quickly parried it with her fingernail. As a result of the attack, she was pushed back and gave the students time to escape.

While Princess Iris and Lilith hunted the teachers and students, Berith who was fighting with King Leonida began to attack seriously.

“Too bad we have to end our game because my lady asked me not to play with you anymore.” Berith who was previously only passive defensive turned into an active attack. His movements have changed drastically from the previous one.

“What!?” King Leonida was shocked by Berith’s drastically increased strength and speed. Berith’s sword was right before his eyes.

Clank…

King Leonida luckily managed to fend off Berith’s attack, but he was blown away from the impact. The hand that was holding the Claimh Solais was shaking from the clash.

“You’re pretty good. How about this…” Berith raised the greatsword with both hands. He compressed his aura into the sword and swung it at King Leonida.

[Mountain Splitters]

King Leonida was shocked to see Berith’s attack. He reflexively used his strongest attack to block it.

[Sword Obelisk]

When their attacks met, King Leonida was taken aback as his last attack was cut off instantly by Berith’s attack. He tried his best to dodge it but Berith’s attack was too fast and he had to heavily accept it.

Boooooooommmmmm

“Father!” Princess Freya who saw her father hit by the attack screamed hysterically. She wanted to go save his father but was prevented by Princess Aishia and Prince Fritz.

“Freya, I’m sure our father will be fine. If you go there, you will only be a burden!” Prince fritz shouted to remind him.

“But!” Princess Freya still insists on going there.

“Freya, please listen to fritz! What he said is true!” Princess Aishia held her hand tighter, she was afraid that Princess Freya suddenly rebelled to escape. After being shouted at by both of them, Princess Freya could only stay silent and cry.

(Ziel, I beg you please come back soon!)

Princess Freya despaired of seeing the situation in front of her right now.

When the smoke from Berith’s attack dissipated, what was visible was king Leonida with a body full of wounds kneeling on one leg and trying to stand supported by Claimh solais.

“Oho…you seem pretty tough too. I thought you were dead with that attack. I also thought that the sword would break when resisting my attack, but it looks like it’s still intact. Alright, I’ll try the durability of the sword that you consider an artifact.” Berith jumped up and swung his sword at King Leonida.

(Damn! My whole body aches! let’s move! move!)

King Leonida slowly moved his body and was finally able to swing his sword to block Berith’s attack, but when his sword met Berith’s, Solais’s claimh was cut in half.

“What!?” King Leonida was shocked and didn’t have time to dodge it, he was hit by Berith’s direct slash and fell into a pool of blood.

“So, you can only get here. I thank you for accompanying me to play. Haha…” Berith left the unconscious King Leonida and immediately went after Lilith.

Meanwhile, Lilith began to feel annoyed after seeing Princess Iris having trouble killing the students because she was constantly blocked by the teachers.

“Don’t think you guys can get out of here alive!” Lilith stretched out her hand towards the fleeing students. He fired one of her special magic.

[Hell Fire]

A wall of purple-colored flames tens of meters high cut off their escape path. Lilith’s purple flames would instantly burn anything it touched. The fire can burn other fires. In addition, this fire also cannot be extinguished except by the owner.

“Miss, sorry I’m a bit late!” Berith knelt when he reached Lilith.

“I don’t want to see you like that again. Now go after them and kill all that interferes. Oh, don’t kill that elf. Catch her alive and we’ll give her back to ‘him’.” Lilith said coldly to Berith.

“I understand!” Berith nodded knowing the reason and immediately went after them.

Princess Iris who is currently chasing the students is fighting fiercely against the three teachers. Even though her strength had weakened, she was still very troublesome to deal with. Moreover, they had to fight while protecting the students. Right now they could be said to be evenly matched against Princess Iris. But the balance was broken after Berith came.

[Mountain Splitters]

Kalya who sensed Berith’s attack immediately activated the barrier function of her ring.

[Aegis Fortress]

Clank…

“Hoo…you have good reflexes and a sense of danger. But what if I attack it repeatedly.” Berith’s attack simply couldn’t break the barrier. Then he gave continuous attacks and he finally stopped it because he felt the barrier was too strong.

“What the hell is that barrier? I can’t even make a crack on its surface after attacking continuously. You! Help me attack the barrier!” Berith gave an order to Princess Iris who was standing not far from him. Both of them attacked Kalya’s barrier at the same time.

Boooooooommmmmm…

And sure enough, their attacks could break the barrier. As Ziel said, the barrier is only able to withstand the attacks of a true god, it’s a different story if people with the power of a saint attack simultaneously.

When Kalya realized that the barrier was broken, she did not panic and intended to attack Berith with her full strength. But just as she was about to release her arrow, she lost the existence of Berith that was previously in front of her.

“Are you looking for me?” Berith suddenly is next to Kalya and quickly swings his sword and cuts off Kalya’s right hand.

“Aaaahhhh!” Kalya screamed in pain, she immediately backed away while holding the bloody wound that was slashed by him.

(Kalya!)

Silphy was worried about Kalya’s condition, she intended to separate herself from the fusion but Kalya locked her so she wouldn’t come out of her body. She was afraid that Silphy would be caught or killed by berith.

Berith who saw Kalya about to run away quickly chased after her. He was already behind her in an instant and slashed her back.

“Argh!” Kalya finally could only roll in pain on the ground.

“Haa… Too bad I was ordered not to kill you. Since you look beautiful at least I can cut off your legs and arms and then can enjoy you. After that, I can return you to ‘him’. Hahaha…” Berith laughed happily seeing Kalya’s state. He walked slowly towards her. Princess Iris is fighting with the other two teachers. While the students could only be frightened to see what was happening in front of them.

Kalya who was injured from Berith’s attack is currently having a hard time moving, she tries to move away from Berith who is slowly approaching her. When he was in front of her and was about to touch her face, she closed her eyes and chanted the name of the person she loved in her heart.

(Ziel, help me!)

…Tremble…

The entire area of ​​the Alba Mountain Range shook violently, The clear morning sky suddenly darkened, covered by thunderclouds.. Thousands of red lightning bolts struck the land simultaneously.
