Gawain, Arven, Lensa, Elder Reana, Elder Lincy, and Layla emerged from the fragments. They stood in the air, looking at Souta.

"Blood Lightning Monster?! Do you want all the people here to die?! Is that what you want?! Don't forget that you're a hero candidate!

" Layla shouted.

Souta raised his eyebrows and said,

"Huh? I want to save them, but unfortunately for them, I'll have to choose Eilish's wish. Also, my mission here is to see the stance of the witches, and I've already determined that it's fine if the Walpurgis Night falls.

"

"Souta...

" Eilish muttered, looking at his back.

Souta turned around, glancing at her before he said,

"It's fine. I'll bring your brother back. Just trust me.

"

He then looked at Alice and said,

"Alice, get them out of here. Also, I might need your help soon, so prepare yourself.

"

"I understand,

" Alice nodded.

Souta focused his attention back on his opponents. There were six of them, and he knew it wouldn't be easy, especially with that Gawain guy.

Gawain stepped forward and said,

"You have the potential to destroy us. I will tell you that you can kill me by destroying the Dream Palace.

"

"How kind of you. I'll keep that in mind,

" Souta smirked. He raised his hand and made a gesture.

"Come at me.

"

Layla gritted her teeth as she cast Zero Destruction Zone once again. Souta responded by casting Zero Destruction Zone too.

Bang!!

The two fields collided, causing ripples of shockwaves in the air.

Souta raised his hand, and his bracelet emitted a dim light.

Yin Yang Unification!

In the next second, all of his attacks reached a higher level of power.

Arven, Lensa, Elder Reana, and Elder Lincy rushed forward, exchanging high-speed blows. In just a second, thousands of attacks were launched.

Boom!! Boom!!

A series of explosions ensued as they continued their fierce battle. Souta moved as fast as he could, trying to eliminate one of them, but they were tough and knew what to do. They were preventing him from eliminating any of them, understanding that it would become much more difficult if Souta managed to defeat one.

Layla raised her hands, casting buff spells on her allies and debuff spells on her opponent. Arven and Elder Reana had tough defenses, so they charged at the front while Lensa and Elder Lincy focused on damaging Souta.

However, the wounds they inflicted on Souta healed instantly, leaving only a few bruises to activate the effect of Draw Blood.

Souta soared into the sky, and a black hole with a diameter of three kilometers materialized beneath him. He kicked the black hole towards his opponents.

"Eat this!

"

Swoosh!!

The black hole advanced, destroying everything in its path.

Gawain took a deep breath as he put his sword back in its sheath. He then looked at the black hole seriously before drawing his sword once again.

Sword Drawing Technique: Spatial World Cut!

The gigantic black hole was cut in two by a powerful slash from Gawain.

"It's better if you don't underestimate me, monster. Even though I don't have my original strength, I'm still strong,

" Gawain said as he raised his sword, radiating overwhelming energy.

He had been one of the twelve legendary knights back then. He accompanied the King of Knights in his conquests, defeating countless formidable enemies. He had learned various forms of sword styles and integrated them with his own.

Layla glanced at Gawain, recalling the data about the King of Knights. They had been the most powerful allies of the Walpurgis Knights back then.

The King of Knights was supposed to help Morgan Le Fay in her fights against the Commandments, but one of his knights betrayed him. The Walpurgis Knights weren't the only ones who fell at that time. The Knights of the Round suffered the same fate.

If Gawain still had his strength, then only god-level beings would be able to stop him.

"Then, see for yourself,

" Souta said as he tightened his grip on his sword.

Ohm!

Blood slowly seeped out of his pores, floating in the air and turning into red sparks. Dark clouds gathered below the clouds of dream power, and thunderclaps reverberated throughout the area.

"There it is... the power that dubbed him the Blood Lightning Monster,

" Layla muttered as her expression turned dark. She knew that from this moment, the difficulty was about to escalate significantly.

The pressure in the air grew stronger and stronger every second.

Archetype: Great Blood of the End

Blood-colored lightning flashed within Souta's sword. His Douion flowed through the lightning, making it much stronger than before.

Bang!!

Gawain laughed and said,

"Isn't it laughable? A monster using Archetype. You've used your characteristics as the base of your Archetype. Truly one of a kind.

"

"Then, let me respond by using my own technique!

" He grinned as he pointed his sword at

Souta.

A powerful gust of wind swept out as his hair fluttered. His aura rose sharply, and space seemed to twist around the blade of his sword.

Archetype: Spatial Gale Sword Style!

In another region of Walpurgis Night, Elder Uiny stared at the young man in front of her. She gritted her teeth and raised her soul weapon.

Ohm!

She gathered her remaining energy into her weapon. Elemental power and dream power swirled around it, causing the whole area to vibrate.

This was going to be her last attack.

She had to deliver a lethal blow before everything ended.

The Moon Coven had prepared for this day for a long time. There was no way she could fail. That information had to disappear, or else it would bring catastrophe to the world.

She was an ordinary witch back then when she learned about the information that Morgan Le Fay was researching: the door and the god known as the Heaven's Calamity. The curse from the forgotten era that was still active to this day.

"The whole world will suffer!

"

Elder Uiny roared as she charged forward with insane speed.

Bryan gritted his teeth as he tightly clenched his fist. His four elements swirled around his

fist, distorting the space around it.

His mana flared up, some strands of his hair turned red, and his eyes glowed with purple light.

"Die!!

" Elder Uiny swung her weapon with all of her might.

Bryan shifted his body, but her attack managed to disintegrate his cheek. The ground behind

him was obliterated by the attack.

He stepped forward and threw his fist heavily at her stomach.

Quad Element Destruction Fist!

Elder Uiny looked at the punch. She knew she couldn't avoid it; it was already too late.

"It can't be...

"

Her body bent as she was sent flying several dozen kilometers. The four elements spun at high speed, tearing her flesh and skin every second.

Boom!!

A powerful explosion resounded as a mushroom cloud, containing four elements, rose into the sky. The shockwave from the explosion swept out, destroying all the buildings within a diameter of ten kilometers.

The energy at the center of the explosion was so violent that it disintegrated every object in

its range.

Amanda and the princess held onto the ground as they looked at the devastating explosion.

"So strong...

" Princess Iris muttered as she narrowed her eyes.

"This should be the end,

" Amanda said.

To fight one elder of the Walpurgis Night, it took several strong Sixth Shackle experts, and

there were six elders. They couldn't imagine how strong the Supreme Elders were if an elder

was already this powerful.

Swoosh!!

The smoke disappeared, revealing the devastated area. Violent sparks were flying everywhere,

and a lone figure stood at the center of the impact.

Ugh!

Elder Uiny coughed up a huge amount of blood. Her eyes moved, staring at them.

"She managed to take that!

" Edeya was shocked.

The toughness of an elder was really on another level. She was still standing even after taking

that attack head-on.

"No, look carefully,

" Zhang Ren said.

Poisonous Vine, who was observing from the other side, laughed and said,

"Ehe, even if she managed to take that, she doesn't have enough strength to fight. My poison is slowly paralyzing her body. If it were other people, they wouldn't be alive anymore.

" Elder Uiny ignored them as she forced herself to take a step forward. Then, she fell to her

knees and coughed up a mouthful of blood once again. Her whole body was growing numb, and her eyes were becoming blurry.

"Y-You people will regret it... The W-Walpurgis Night... should fall to prevent... the spread... Le Fay shouldn't have investigated it... she only brought the curse here,

" she said with great difficulty. She then smiled and added,

"Ehe, I might be cursed too... since I've read it... There's

no turning back.

"

Elder Uiny collapsed onto the ground after saying those words.

Bryan just stared at her before someone called him from behind.

"Brother Bryan!

" It was the little girl.

He turned his head and saw his friend. He smiled and said,

"I'm fine, Tehani. I'm just a little

tired.

"

The little girl pounced on him, wrapping her hands around his waist. Bryan gently patted her back before turning his head to the approaching Edeya and Zhang Ren.

The little girl named Tehani hid behind him, looking at the two cautiously. Edeya glanced at the little girl before she looked at Elder Uiny and said,

"She's still alive. She

just lost consciousness. What do you plan to do?

"

"Me? I don't know...

" Bryan forced a smile on his face as he scratched his cheek awkwardly.
