Pillar of Yita

Ye Hua himself was locked in close combat with another dark giant dragon. Noticing that his Dragon Soul had already defeated the opponent, he shouted: ”Hailan, domain!”

A black hemisphere unfurled from the Dragon Knight Rigging, instantaneously expanding to a hundred-foot range, enveloping Ye Hua and the dark giant dragon before him. The dark giant dragon appeared frozen in mid-air, as if time had stopped, and Ye Hua leapt up, flashing his curved blade and lopping off its head.

Fang Hong watched the lumbering body of the dark giant dragon crash heavily onto the steps, raising a cloud of dust, and couldn’t help but click his tongue in astonishment. Although he knew it was merely a phantom, how was their repeated confrontations against Nikopolas any different, all being mere illusions?

They fought life-and-death battles, often narrowly escaping danger, relying on various fortuitous conditions to calm the crises. But here, the Ranger King eliminated three dark giant dragon phantoms in the blink of an eye.

Though they were summoned by Seriman, here Seriman represented Dika’s will. The difference between the two sides shouldn’t be too great.

But Fang Hong blinked and couldn’t discern what exactly Star meant; isn’t this just a normal Dragon Knight combat? The Dragon Knight Rigging’s ’Domain Magic,’ originating from the unique strength of the Dragon Soul Crystal, was one of the Dragon Knight’s three trump cards.

Yet Star didn’t give him more time to think, withdrawing his gaze and saying to the two: ”Prepare yourselves; I’ll teleport you to the Holy Sanctuary behind Seriman.” As he spoke, he placed his hand on Yinhanz Type-IV, causing the grey gem on the chest of the towering construct to emit a shimmering white light.

The remaining four dark giant dragons, realizing Ye Hua was formidable, split into two pairs in mid-air, each circling half the valley before flying towards their direction.

Ye Hua and his Dragon Soul parted left and right upon seeing this, each engaging one of the dark giant dragons to intercept them. Nevertheless, two dark giant dragons still headed towards their direction.

The Yinhanz Type-IV unfurled a shield, enveloping the three within.

Fang Hong watched the giant dragons swooping down from mid-air, of course, not deluding himself into thinking he too was a Ranger King who could easily dispatch a dark giant dragon. Thus, he glanced at Star and nodded lightly.

”Princess.” Star looked towards Princess Rupert beside him. The latter placed her hand on her longsword, taking a deep breath before answering: ”I’m ready too, Mr. Ravac.”

Seeing this, Star nodded slightly and pressed lightly on his control gloves, causing a white light to shoot from the grey gemstone on Yinhanz Type-IV’s chest, instantly enveloping Fang Hong and the princess.

At the final moment of teleportation, Fang Hong only saw a dark shadow rushing down, colliding with the shield of the towering construct. The shield blazed with intense light, then everything turned to darkness.

In the next instant, he and the princess were already at the grand entrance of the Holy Sanctuary. Fang Hong merely swayed slightly, while the princess, inexperienced with teleportation, almost had to use her sword to steady herself.

Both turned their heads simultaneously, just in time to see the two dark giant dragons lunging at Star. Fortunately, Yinhanz Type-IV’s shield was quite resilient, having proven its sturdiness in previous encounters with four giant guards. Now, under the assault of two dark giant dragon phantoms, the shield stood firm.

Just as the two were teleported, Seriman also evidently noticed their trickery. This Blind Followers’ first servant promptly turned around, looking in their direction and caught sight of their trail.

He uttered a low curse and raised his magic wand, lightly tracing the ground. A black cloud of dust surged from the marble floor, transforming into the shape of Blood Servants, dozens to hundreds in number, they crawled up the steps, clawing towards this direction.

Seriman’s location wasn’t far from the entrance of the sanctuary, and the speed of Blood Servants was like lightning, almost reaching Fang Hong and Princess Rupert’s side in an instant.

Fang Hong was about to summon Energy Angel, but at that moment, Ye Hua and his Dragon Soul had already broken through the dark giant dragons’ obstruction, the Ranger King raised his curved blade retrieving the Dragon Soul, and then slashed towards this direction.

A glorious light descended from the sky, crashing down before Fang Hong, the blade light swept past outside the sanctuary entrance, carving a three to four-meter wide fissure into the ground.

Where the fissure passed, the phantoms of Blood Servants disintegrated into ashes, turning to dust. Fang Hong himself was also slightly jolted, instinctively looking up, just in time to see Ye Hua looking towards him, silently nodding.

Fang Hong, seeing this, didn’t hesitate and said to Princess Rupert: ”Princess, let’s go to the main hall.”

The Grand Princess nodded slightly. Then the two turned and ran towards the Holy Sanctuary.

Meanwhile, seeing his spell was obstructed, Seriman’s face turned sullen as he raised his magic wand once again, aiming straight towards Fang Hong and the princess charging towards the sanctuary. But before he could cast, a shadow had already descended in front of him.

It was Ye Hua’s Dragon Soul, Lady Hailan.

A rapier appeared out of nowhere in the Dragon Soul’s hand, the sword light flashed, striking towards this Blind Followers’ servant. Seriman seemed oblivious, taking the rapier squarely in the chest, screaming in agony as he staggered backward, dropping to his knees.
