Black sushed out froan to overflow The water surged to the riverbank like crashi+ng waves, and after a while, Knights walked out of the river

Ghosts!

The 100 Guardian Knights ere hazily co into existence were Weed's reinforcehts, the Five Phoenix Brothers, and Yellowy on standby where he stood and stealthily crept near the location of the Ehts had suspended their slaughter ritual and were plunged into chaos The over 1,000 De theht in their eyes had weakened, and their steps were strengthless

'Seems like the purification of the River of La the Dark Knights on guard duty provided to inch closer

There was a blood-red Skull and Coffin sewn on the robes of the Embinyu Church Priests There were only 10 Priests who had Crows on their robes

He could overhear their conversation

”The River of La to our ritual”

”Sacrifice s”

Priests with the Crow ee As they performed the ritual, hearts of lambs and deers were sacrificed

The ritual showed a violent response, enough to flood the River of Lahosts flew out helterskelter

Weed watched the ritual nervously, but the river continued to flow leisurely

The Priests, whose faces were barely visible due to upturned robe hoods, halted the ritual and said, ”The strength of the ghosts has decreased”

”What about the Deround?”

”They will also becoly weak”

”The ritual must continue in order tothe Matallost Church prisoners and ask them the reason why”

The survivors of the Matallost Church!

It seemed they had become prisoners and were captives of the E the prisoners, ill have to report to His Holiness, the Pope”

”His Holiness will lead us Let us return to the temple for now”

They left about half of the Eht troops behind and moved downstream

The temple was at a place where Weed hadn't scouted yet He snuck behind the theold and jewels appeared

It was a high-class temple, entirely different level from the ruined temple of the Matallast Church!

The temple had been built into the natural terrain of the rocky ate, a moat, ballistas, and even defensive installments for the deployment of Archers

”Defend this place”

Uuuoooohh!

At the couarded the fort like an iron wall

Weed couldn't go inside the fort, so he turned back to the place where the rituals had been performed

”If they're to co to be a day, maybe two days in between!”

Weed mounted Yellowy in his full equipave hihts with his cloak flapping

It was a decisive h and burst out with Lion's Roar—

”GUARDIAN KNIGHTS, ATTACK!”

60 Guardian Knights ran forward in unison

It was a charge made by only 60 party members towards over 500 Dehts!

It looked incomparably reckless, but the reality was actually very different frohts who lead the dead were not living beings As warriors of the Matallost Church, they were no different frohosts They would never die from normal methods, and they only received blows froic of the Dark Knights and above

”It's the remnants of the Matallost Church”

”Stop thehts and over 500 Dehts broke right through them

Grawr?

”Get thehts turned and chased after the Guardian Knights

The Guardian Knights only had one purpose

Eradicate the Embinyu Church's Priests!

Just as Weed had coht towards the Priests

The Embinyu Priests uttered an incantation

”O beastly and dark power, let ic! The Priests endowed holy power into the guarding Dark Knights' swords

Rawr!

”Wipe out the rehts intercepted the Guardian Knights De them layer by layer, so they were really like rats in a trap

Woosh!+

Weed raised his hand Then the Phoenixes outstretched their wings

The Phoenixes breathed flaround as they flew over the battlefield The Dehts were also wrapped in flames

”Death Arrow!”

”Water Blaster!”

The Priests inflicted ic creatures who soared in the air! The Phoenixes twisted violently as they dodged thedohile on board the Phoenixes

”NOW!” Weed's voice erupted with Lion's Roar at the exact ures leapt fro to the ground

”Let's go Yellowy!”

Weed matched himself to Yellowy's rhythoratingly as he ran on all fours

Weed cleaved through the weakened Demonic Spirits in an instant and advanced while the Phoenixes dominated the skies They exhaled flames at Deathered, the fires spread and became a sea of fire in all directions

Weed and the Guardian Knights leapt within the sea of flames!

The 20 or less Priests were the first to be hts, protect the relic of the Matallost Church, fight the Dark Knights and leave the Demonic Spirits alone! Make a blockade and DO NOT ALLOW EVEN ONE ENEMY TO SLIP AWAY!”

Weed burst out with Lion's Roar as he commanded the battlefield

The battle was already won

As long as there weren't any Priests, he was confident he could win even by onlythe Phoenixes!

'I can't just hand over my prey!'

The Phoenixes were still weak

After surrounding the whole area with the the Guardian Knights, he hunted the Dehts with the AOE fla flary Pebble, Dirt him He had infinite intimacy with the, he could call on the as he had the Mana for it It was the benefit of being their creator

Thanks to Dirtround where Weed walked was split open, and flames on his sides were diverted

He arrived at the place where the Embinyu Church had been perforoods greedily

”I should go to a more remote location”

Weed finished the ritual interference quest and made time to take the Phoenixes and Yellowy soerous were to happen, the Phoenixes would be able to pull out quickly Weed could also escape by riding Yellowy

”Even in the worst case, I'll have to save Yellowy”

Moooooooo!

Yellowy's innocent eyes watered in gratitude He hadn't expected it, but his master would sacrifice hi with e his calculations

If Yellowy died, the sorry one would be hie would be severe if he created yet another sculpture and granted it life

Of course Weed would throw the Death Knight first before dying

”Since I'm here, rest easy, Yellowy”

Moooooooo!

Weed passed the River of Laion full of Plains

There, he saw ions ofaround in droves

They were probably one of the the beast-type monsters, but since it was the entrance to hell, he couldn't relax his guard no matter what kind of monster it was Weed moved further back whenever he saw a monster horde

”Mhotten dead drunk and had fallen asleep, slowly opened his eyes

He was riding Yellowy behind Weed's back Smith was one of the reasons why Yellowy had to be saved no matter what!

”We are on an expedition”

”Eh I see”

Smith hadn't woken from the alcohol and looked around with bleary eyes

While conversing with hiinally been a truly i everywhere around the Versailles Continent were impossible if not for a Mercenary of considerably remarkable skill

However, he was now just a for intoxicated!

Nevertheless, Se of traps, terrain, and iven a little liquor, he also stood guard hile Weed made sculptures His sword skills had probably diminished, but he still had many uses

His observation skills identified traits after uish drinkable water and edible grasses was also excellent

In any case, he was being very helpful in his oay

Smith looked around and said cautiously, ”This place seeerous”

”What?”

”The level of the h Even with the protection of the Phoenixes and Yellowy, this isn't a place where a Sculptor can coave Sht be the reason why S Weed

”I see”

Weed absentmindedly listened to his words

”Anyway, let's head back”

The purpose of the expedition was to check thetoo far froerous and had no purpose, he was about to turn back

But so towards thenified appearance of athe sky!

”ROOOOAAAAAAR!”

Thethe whole area The faraway beast-type round, petrified

”It's a boss-classthe area appeared Thein size Even froer than the palradually shortened, the body continued to grow! It was a huge figure easily exceeding hundreds of th

Thea cold chill all around it

Smith's face turned a sickly pale color

”That's an Ice Dragon It's an Ice Dragon!”

It was enough to inti above Weed in the air as if keeping guard

”Hurry and run!”

Even at S, Weed stayed still He narrowed his eyes and sion's body

Fierce eyes and long snout, a lengthy beard A strong upper body and a weak lower body!

Even its broad wings comprised the majority of its body!

It was a look he had seen a lot somewhere

”ROOOAAAAAAAAAAAR!”

The Fear hex froh the body!

In the face of the Dragon's fighting spirit, Yellowy sank down, and the Phoenixes folded their wings

The Ice Dragon fleith its enormous power to defeat the Humans and Phoenixes who dared to intrude upon its territory in an instant

The Ice Dragon's large pupils glanced past Weed and Yellowy

”You dare to intrude on my territor—…”

The words were suddenly cut short!

There was a slight spasain ide open eyes, it outstretched its wings

Flap flap flap

The Ice Dragon accelerated instantaneously, then displayed incredible agility while turning in a se to quickly return the way it ca?”

The Ice Dragon's body faltered in the air as if it had received a huge shock

”You're Bingryong, right?”

”Absolutely not”

The Ice Dragon even shook its head while flapping its wings hard

An action indicating its desperate wish to escape!

Although it was obviously anxious, since it hurriedly turned around, but it still didn't speed up very quickly

”Each flap of the wings is about 500 ht away

Although it was floating because of its buoyancy, it acted like it didn't knohat to do

”You want to see the Wyverns, right? Wy-Three asked if you were doing well”

”Wy-Three! Is Wy-Three doing well, ”
