Chapter 65 - 65: "I am invincible!" (2/2)

'Don't be jealous. You had your moment.' she chuckles.

The seemingly futile struggle continues to drag. The Shadows continue to overwhelm Jairu's group with their great numbers, and their assault is not slowing down.

It's normal that everyone is starting to feel exhaustion despite Gwyddien's efforts to heal them. He, himself is feeling the toll on his body after all.

Unexpectedly, Di'Anon and his group finally arrive. The five newcomers came out from nowhere and assisted the weary men.

”Rest for a while, Jairu.” Di'Anon advised.

”Don't worry. I can still fight.” Captain Jairu responded smugly.

He waves his cleaver sword effortlessly to show off he is not done fighting the relentless beasts. The wave of fiery attack obliterated the line of shadows approaching them.

Di'Anon nods as he let him do as he wishes. He knows that everyone must be reaching their limits, but who could comfortably rest in this situation?

Meanwhile, Gwyddien started laughing as he saw the reinforcements. He feels waves of relief upon seeing Di'Anon and the others arrive at the scene.

It brings new waves of hope for him as he cast another set of enchantments to support everyone. His shrieky laugh resonates and mixed with eerie growls of the Shadows.

”I assume that is Gwyddien...? Is he always like that...?” Canon curiously asked.

”I suppose the correct question is, what happened to him.” Eirwen responded.

Looking back, Gwyddien is timid and cowardly. Who would assume he has this sinister side of him? He is obviously enjoying the battlefield.

”How long has he been there...?” Seig asked.

He is surprised how well Gwyddien is holding up and his performance in the field. He is like a totally different person.

”Witch Gwyddien is there since the beginning. His supportive magic has been very helpful.” one of the guards responded.

”Yes. He almost cried when the Captain dragged him to the assembly hall. I never thought he could be reliable. As a matter of fact, I am quite impressed.” one chime in.

Everyone nods in agreement. This young Witch will surely come along way with his given skills. He might not realize it yet, but he will surely be someone not to be underestimated.

Then again, they expect no less knowing he is Little Eu's apprentice.

Ivy hides her smugly smile from everyone's outstanding feedback. She is confident with Gwyddien's abilities and his determination to surpass himself.

He might need a little work of his self-esteem. Then again, that will give her the opportunity to whip him out of his shell too.

'Of course, he is simply exemplar! I won't accept someone less to be my Master.' she thought.

While everyone is busy fending off against this sea of these atrocities, a watchful eye carefully observes them. He is quite satisfied with how things are unfolding as his crystal blue eyes shimmer in contentment.

There are only twenty men in Limes Temple, a witch apprentice, a majestic beast, and a Spirit Guardian, yet they are displaying such a remarkable feat. One would assume there are more pushing these endless hostiles back.

Even Captain Jairu doubted Eu's decision to let them handle this matter. Now, using the other group sounds overkill.

Then again, he wonders, what is the situation on the other side? What is so important in there that Eu lured the Divine Lord to Southern Forest?

Meanwhile, the battle in the Southern Forest has finally ended. The Divine Lord secured the Shadow, who instigate this incident.

The Shadow is not as mindless as the rest. He is on his knees as he awaits his impending doom.

His fiery red eyes look around to give them one last look. Even though he wasn't able to kill the Master's sibling, he is still contented on his achievements.

”Do you really believe you have won? Guess again, you didn't…” he revealed.

He let out a sinister laugh before turning into ashes and disappearing into the darkness.

Cold tingling sensation trickle on everyone's spines. They look at the direction of Limes Temple and witness the terrifying darkness enveloping it.

What is happening...?

They didn't notice the terrifying event in Limes Temple while they control the situation. It was indeed a surprise how everything unfolded on their end.

Meanwhile, the Divine Lord Foeni's hand shiver at the dread sight. He is stunned, speechless, and blank.

”My Lord, please go ahead. We will handle matters here.” Vice-Captain Mineaus suggested.

He doesn't want to detain the worried Lord knowing the person he values most might be in danger. He wants to be considerate.

The Divine Lord snaps from his trance as he nods. Haru volunteers to accompany him back to ensure his safety.

'Please be safe...'
