When he was about to be bitten, he touched the scabbard at his waist and hurriedly pulled it out to block this fatal attack.

Mantayu rushed to his side and stabbed the demonic beast on his body to death.

The tip of the sword was only one finger away from Victor’s head!

Pushing the dead demonic beast away from his body, he said coldly to Mantayu, “If you had used more strength, I would’ve been dead!”

After saying that, he went to pick up his sword and even pulled out the scabbard stuck in the demonic beast’s mouth.

From time to time, the sounds of healing and the roars of demonic beasts could be heard.

Roar!

Jobs, who was at the top of the mountain, saw everything. He smiled and said, “Fighting among themselves at this time, what a joke!”

After that, he did not pay attention to what was happening below. He turned his head to look at Royce and Taros and said, “Looks like the people sent by your families are not very harmonious!”

After saying that, he stopped looking at the two of them. Royce and Taros looked at Jobs with gloomy eyes.

At the foot of the mountain, Victor, Sainz, and Mantayu were still fighting against the demonic beasts.

Eventually, they killed all the demonic beasts when the sun rose.

After the battle ended, Victor, Sainz, and Mantayu began to count the remaining members.

When the three groups gathered together at first, there were nearly two hundred people. After this battle, the number of people actually decreased to less than a hundred!

Just as Victor, Sainz, and Mantayu were about to lead the team deeper into the forest, suddenly, flames came from a distance and was aimed at Sainz’s back. Victor, who was at the back of the group, sensed the abnormality and turned around to check.

He only saw a beam of light purple flames mixed with blue flames coming towards them. The target of the sneak attack was Sainz, who was in front of the team.

In front of them, Sainz heard voices behind him.

“Be careful!”

But it was too late, the flames had already reached him.

The blue flames struck his back.

Suddenly, a light blue light shone from behind him.

Swoosh! A talisman had been activated.

Boom!

The purple flame mixed with blue hit the light blue shield and knocked him to the ground!

Fortunately, it was thanks to the defensive talisman on his body that he suffered no injuries.

Sainz, who had been knocked to the ground, looked miserable.

He rose from the ground and patted off the dirt that clung to his body. Then he turned to the one who had ambushed him.

However, his eyes were filled with surprise after seeing the culprit, it was not a person.

Instead, it was a talisman floating in the air. There was even a light purple figure floating behind it. It looked very mysterious.

This talisman was the one that had destroyed Hank’s residence.

This was the first time that Sainz had seen such a situation, so he called Victor and Mantayu over.

Victor and Mantayu looked at the floating talisman and the light purple figure in shock.

A look of greed flashed across Mantayu’s eyes. He wanted to own this talisman.

Mantayu thought to himself, “If I can use this talisman to my advantage, wouldn’t that make me even stronger than now?”

He said, “Why don’t we try and take down this talisman?”

“It definitely knows only one method of attack.”

After he said that, he looked at the reactions of Sainz and Victor. After thinking for a moment, Victor agreed, “We can fight it, but I’ll hold onto it for safekeeping in the end.”

After hearing Victor’s request, Mantayu hurriedly said, “Why don’t we try to get it first?”

With that said, he ignored Victor and Sainz’s obstruction and walked straight towards the talisman floating in the air.

Before Mantayu reached the place, he heard laughter.

Kekeke~

He said as he turned and ran towards Victor and Sainz: “That hair-raising laughter has appeared again!”

The figure emerged from the talisman and flew towards the running Mantayu, pouncing on him.

“Ah!” A chilling voice came out of his mouth.

Everyone looked at him in horror. The three of them were of similar strength, except for Victor who was just slightly weaker.

However, the groups comprised mostly rank three experts. They were no match for Mantayu, who was already at rank six.

Furthermore, he was currently possessed.

In the past, Mantayu’s strength was only close to rank six and they could still fight him to a draw. But now, the possessed Mantayu was already at rank six, and his strength was still continuously rising!

After about ten minutes, Mantayu’s aura rose to the threshold of rank six. He was only one step away from entering rank seven.

However, he was unable to take that step. Just as he was thinking about how to advance, he saw the stunned crowd.

He immediately had an idea in his mind. He wanted to use the Blood Sacrifice Formation to let him directly break through to rank seven!

“Although there will be a huge side effect, this is an opportunity for me to directly break through to rank seven!” Mantayu said with a sharp voice.

Blood Sacrifice Formation: An evil technique that requires the sacrifice of the blood of many people to create the array formation so that the person who created it can absorb the magic power of everyone.

With that said, he drew his sword and slashed towards everyone with a sword energy beam. Seeing this, Sainz hurriedly released a magic circle.

“Secret Technique — Turtle Shell Formation!”

Suddenly, an earthen-yellow array formation appeared on the ground as the sword beam struck the formation.

Boom! There was a loud sound!

The earthen-yellow Turtle Shell Formation shook as if it was going to break at any moment.
