[801-1000] THE EVOLUTION OF A GOBLIN TO THE PEAK

Chapter 913 Battle at the Selnes Country: Schine vs. Edmar

"You haven't told me anything! You've been keeping everything a secret, and now you're telling me I don't understand? You're right, it's because you've been keeping your mouth shut!" Edmar said angrily.

"I had planned to reveal the truth after you became the patriarch, but it's futile now... You've betrayed our country. The patriarchs of the Five Master Clans all swore oaths they couldn't break," Schine said calmly. His aura intensified, and the winds blew stronger.

Edmar narrowed his eyes, preparing himself for the worst. His father was about to get serious.

Whoosh!

Both of their auras collided, causing sharp winds to spread throughout the entire area.

In the next moment, both of their figures disappeared.

The two clashed repeatedly in midair, sending sharp winds in every direction.

Boom! Boom!

Schine didn't hold back at all. He kept unleashing powerful skills, yet to his surprise, his son could actually repel them. Edmar had hidden his strength well. Perhaps Schine should have noticed it sooner, but he had placed too much trust in his son. Edmar was his child, so it was natural for him to trust him. There was nothing wrong with that.

The two continued to exchange fierce blows, causing the entire terrain to change. The household of the Windi Clan had almost collapsed. The only thing keeping it intact was the protective runes and barriers placed all over the area.

"Our god died long ago, and he imprisoned us in this place!" Edmar roared.

He raised his hand, and a saber appeared, with strong winds swirling around the blade. At the same time, his elemental power spread out, enveloping the whole area.

[Element Drive: Wind Force]!

Seeing this scene, Schine also activated his [Element Drive]. He jumped away and waved his hand.

Whoosh!

Several pieces of yellow paper floated around him, each adorned with strange symbols.

"[Seal: Tiger]! [Seal: Boar]! [Seal: Snake]!"

Three of the yellow papers emitted a dazzling white light.

"The Windi Clan is the guardian of the seal! We are the masters of the seal in this country!" Schine declared as he pressed his palm downward.

A colossal figure of a tiger materialized in the air, its body composed entirely of pure energy. The tiger rushed toward Edmar, opening its mouth wide.

ROAR!

Just as it was about to swallow Edmar, he swung his saber downward. The energy he had gathered burst out like a tidal wave, colliding with the massive tiger.

Boom!

Edmar was pushed back several meters, feeling a numbing sensation in his arm. The power of that seal exceeded his expectations.

He gritted his teeth in anger. Suddenly, he glanced downward and leaped away, but it was already too late.

A colossal, semi-transparent snake, composed entirely of pure energy, coiled itself around him, cutting off all of his escape routes. Despite its transparency, he could still see what was happening outside.

Grr!

Edmar felt a taste of blood in his mouth. The snake was trying to crush him into meat paste.

...

In the heart of the nation, where the device was located, Alice was engaged in a battle against a Three Shackle expert. Eilish found herself in a similar situation, locked in combat with another Three Shackle expert.

Leilus and the Blue Cross Squad had no option but to advance while fending off several Two and One Shackle experts.

"This won't get us anywhere," Drami muttered.

"I'll attempt to create an opening. You all should focus on breaking through," Leilus said.

Drami, Marcus, Sekmet, and Paolo nodded in agreement.

Leilus gathered energy on his blade and lunged forward. With a sweeping slash of his sword, a violent surge of cold energy erupted from his blade.

Swoosh!

The enemies tried to evade, but Leilus's attack was aimed at the device, leaving them no choice but to defend against it.

Just as they prepared to counter, several figures dashed through the ensuing smoke. Sekmet and Marcus flanked both sides, while Drami and Paolo charged ahead toward the device.

Suddenly, a tremendous blast of energy descended from above, its force so powerful that it propelled everyone hundreds of meters away.

Argh!

Ugh!

Drami, Paolo, Sekmet, and Marcus crashed into nearby buildings.

Boom!

Alice paused, turning her head. "No... Another Three Shackle expert...!"

With the unexpected arrival of another Three Shackle expert, the group found themselves at a significant disadvantage.

How should she handle this?

The situation was dire.

"Alice!" Eilish's voice echoed.

Alice snapped back to consciousness, wracked with extreme pain in her stomach. Her form transformed into a stream of light as she crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.

Ugh!

She spat out a mouthful of blood as she forced herself to stand. Gazing upward, she spotted a lightning beam hurtling toward her. Swiftly, she shifted to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly bolt.

Boom!

However, the shockwave from the explosion still managed to send her several meters away.

"Alice, we're not alone! Focus on your opponent in front of you!" Eilish's voice echoed once more.

Alice glanced at Eilish, who was locked in battle with a Three Shackle expert. She understood the message and turned her head.

There, she witnessed warriors from Asgard, Aaru, and other factions engaging the enemies on the opposing side. Most importantly, they were steadily drawing closer. Just minutes ago, these warriors had been several kilometers away.

"They're here, but what about Drami and the others? They can't match a Three Shackle expert. The worst-case scenario is they're surrounded by several One and Two Shackle opponents." Alice muttered to herself, tightening her grip on the spear. She shifted her full attention to her opponent, and her elemental power surged, causing strings of flesh to envelop her body.
