220 Arrival (2/2)

A stunning lady, riding a majestic Pegasus rose her golden spear up in the skies. A beam of light descended , covering the defenders with a warm and comforting light. Soon after, the defenders could feel their stamina recovering in a slow but noticeable manner, the shallow wounds that they have were recovering at a visible pace.

Old Lee who was reaping down the ranks of the beast, went into a screeching halt as he felt this light. His head turned sharply at the southern wall with an incredulous expression on his face.

”This is…Lightshield Incandescence! Has the King returned?” His vision instantly homed in to the figure sitting on a back of a Pegasus, his eyes widened in disbelief. ”Princess!? She's back!”

”Lightshield Incandescence.” Leona muttered, ”Your Majesty, if only you could see your precious daughter right now.”

Back at the walls, after casting the enormous beam of light. The Pegasus flew down and landed in front of the gawking Prince. For a brief moment there, Balmung thought that their father had returned. Never in his wildest imaginations that Luna will be able to cast that technique without even the King teaching her how to do so.

”You girl…” Balmung said as the corners of his mouth twitched erratically. Just from her gaze alone, he knew that he couldn't stop her from participating in this battle. She made a grand entrance for that matter anyway?

”Excuse me, Princess.” Luis interjected from the side. ”Have you seen my boy?”

”He said he's going to check the other sides to see if they needed reinforcements.” Luna replied helplessly, ”I wanted to come with him but he said to have faith in him and that he's more than enough to act as a reinforcement to them.”

Upon hearing this, Luis couldn't help but to smile wryly. 'That brat!' He inwardly thought. Nevertheless, he had faith in his son, he knew that he will be responsible on his own. Besides, they are at war, he couldn't afford to be distracted for this long.

”I wanted to spare you guys from this war, knowing that you just came out from a difficult training.” Balmung said, ”But you wouldn't hustle your rears towards here if you wanted to rest, which means you wanted to participate.”

He received no replies from them, but their gazes alone was enough to express their answers.

”Fine.” Balmung helplessly sighed, ”Pay attention to your safety. You people will become the next pillar of the kingdom, I can't have you dying in this battle. Go!”

The team nodded. They turned around and faced the incoming horde of beasts.

Paul's eyes shone. He roused his energy and suddenly his majestic presence became known to the whole battlefield. Ian and Randy, who was battling below sharply turned towards his location and saw him.

”Brat.” Ian muttered under his breath.

A second later, Paul's throat vibrated. His face twisted and his mouth flew open.

”AHHHHHHHHHH!”

A long, awe-inspiring and hair-raising roar came out from his mouth. His voice echoed throughout the vast plains of the battlefield. Everyone present could hear his terrifying roar that carried an unbridled provocation.

A silhouette of a enormous Snake-tailed Black Tortoise emerged behind him and roared with him. The defenders who heard this roar felt their spirits roused and saw a thick, blue layered shield shrouding them. This shield is a blessing from Paul himself, a life-saving triple layered shield for everyone present in the battlefield.

Just this alone proved that being acknowledge by a Spirit Entity is an immense benefit.

As for the beast who heard this roar, they felt a deep existential fear from his voice. Paul roar carried a tinge of a Divine Beast's aura which carried an immense suppressive pressure on their psyches.

”HAHAHA! SEE THAT LITTLE TURD? MY BRO! THAT'S MY LITTLE BRO!” Randy roared on top of his lungs, only to be elbowed by Ian beside him. Despite that, Ian couldn't contain that foolish and prideful smile from his face.

Next to him, Ellen smiled and roused her spirit.

A sonorous cry escaped from her lips. Instantly, another aura of a Divine Beast made it's debut on the battlefield. The momentum of the Vermillion Bird, King of Thousand Birds, rolled over and refused to allow other flying beast to take flight in it's presence.

Seeing the flying beast falling from the skies while shivering in terror, the defenders were awed once more. Bradley and the members of the Vermillion Sky Clan were shaking in glee. The source of their worship, the Vermillion Bird. Even if what they experienced was just a remnant of it's Divine Aura, it was enough for them to gladly stake their lives on the line with pride.

Just like that, the momentum of two Divine Beast was enough to tip the balance of this war.
