Souta knew that some of the members of the Dragon Council were powerful. Although they tried to conceal their auras at the conference, they couldn't escape Souta's prying eyes. Their basic power level couldn't be concealed from him. Unless they had a universal artifact for concealing their power levels.
The strongest person was Ray. That one alone made him suspicious. In fact, he hid a lot of information regarding the Mine Valley. Souta wouldn't believe that Ray simply wanted to protect this place.
Regardless, Ray didn't offend him so he was still on the border of cooperating with that guy. It wasn't good to add more enemies for himself.
Third Head narrowed her eyes as she looked down at the entire city.
"Wingless Crow... As expected, a bunch of unknown organizations is starting to reveal themselves."
She slowly raised her hand. The next moment, she swung down her hand and a huge gigantic palm materialized beside her falling into the city.
The palm strike contained immense energy that caused people below Shackled Realm to tremble in fear. It felt like this attack was going to demolish the entire city.
But before the palm strike landed, a white-robed man with long blue hair flew upward and slashed a gigantic sword energy.
BOOM!!
A ring-shaped shockwave spread out from the center of the impact. The ground shook heavily as if everything was going to collapse.
Alice, Eztein, and the rest shifted their gaze above the city. The massive energy above was terrifying.
"They started."
Alice turned back her attention to her opponents. Five people were staring at her fiercely. All of them had murderous auras oozing out of their bodies.
She tightly grasped the spear in her hand. The cold energy seeped out causing a white mist to spread in the area.
With a boom, her figure vanished and reappeared in front of the old man.
"Wingless Crow! Just surrender or else you all will die!"
Alice thrust the spear. The intense energy burst out like a beam flying in the old man's direction.
Swoosh!!
The old man reacted by crossing his arms. A thick barrier formed in from of him then two of his comrades helped him add another layer of barrier.
Suddenly, the aura around Alice grew strongly. A massive amount of energy shot everywhere turning the whole area upside down.
"What?!" The old man and the other two were shocked. They didn't expect that their opponent was this decisive.
"Shit!!"
The remaining two wanted to help but Alice moved faster than them.
"Too late," Alice said as her attack heavily landed on the layers of barrier. The barriers didn't even last a second before it was shattered like a fragile glass.
Her [Element Drive] boosted her power beyond their expectations. They didn't even expect that she was going to use this ability from the start.
To add more power, Alice even used the power of her parasite. Various flesh covered her slim body and it even coated her weapon to match her transformation.
BAM!!
The old man opened his eyes widely as the spear flashed in front of him. He shifted his body but it was useless. The tip of the spear heavily smashed his shoulder causing it to explode.
The remaining force behind it hurled his body into the air as his right arm rolled in the opposite direction.
"Too weak!"
Alice wanted to finish the old man but the other four people surrounded her before launching an attack at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
She alone exchanged blows with four experts at One Shackle Realm.
Cough! Cough! The old man coughed a mouthful of blood before he took out a potion from his pocket. Then, he sprayed it on his shoulder before drinking the remaining liquid.
Ugh!
He groaned in pain. He couldn't help but opened his eyes in shock when he saw Alice fighting his four comrades alone.
What is this?
They should be the stronger ones.
It looks like this girl is bullying them.
How?
The power of this girl was beyond their expectations. Just looking at it, he knew that Alice still had the upper hand in fighting four experts.
"What the hell?!"
He gritted his teeth and charged forward to help his comrade. They had to work together if they wanted to defeat this girl.
Boom! Boom!
Third Head's subordinates also joined the battle. She brought two One Shackle Realm experts and those two were fighting the members of the Wingless Crow.
The entire city was devastated. Dozens of powerful beings were fighting across the land and it caught up with thousands of civilians. They were swept and uprooted instantly.
Various spells and combat arts were launched and it made the whole area like a scenery from the end of the world.
"You must be from the Dragon Council, right?" A man with long blue hair slashed his sword forming a fifty-meter energy blade.
Swoosh!
Third Head snorted and she used another palm strike.
BAM!!
The collision of their attacks caused a ripple in the air.
"What's your goal? Is it true that you people are the ones that assassinated the envoy of Mine Valley?" Third Head asked calmly as if she didn't care about the strength of her opponent.
"You hid your strength well, City Lord of Umbra!!" The man launched another fierce attack.
Bang!!
Third Head blocked with another palm strike. "No, I just grew stronger after the density of mana increased. The rest are the same as me."
"Hehe, Our plan failed but we can still salvage it as long as I kill you." The man laughed madly. "Mine Valley is going to fall into our hands soon. Just watch and let me take care of you."
He snickered as shot a series of energy blades. Then, he pounced forward gathering both of his elemental power and mana on the tip of his blade.
"Die!!" He roared while thrusting his sword forward.
"Boring." Third Head yawned and slapped.
BANG!!
A tremendous white light erupted forming a gigantic palm out of thin air. Light shone brightly as it collided with her opponent's blade.
"There is a reason why you guys are hiding in the dark scheming to conquer our land. It's because you know that you wouldn't win in a head-on clash against us, right? Well, if you can win against us you wouldn't resort to those schemes of yours. You would simply destroy us and take over the Mine Valley."
Third Head's aura rose as she used her [Element Drive].
The man smiled and used his own [Element Drive].
Both of their figure collided causing a powerful shockwave.
...
Isabella didn't have a way to interfere with a battle between Shackled Realm. It was possible if she was a Peak Stage of S-rank with the skill set that she got from the legacy of the God of Hunt. But she was far from it so she could just simply help the expert of Astros to evacuate.
Fighting a Shackled Realm with a group of S-rank. It was certainly possible but it would literally dismantle almost all the experts that they brought here just to bring down a Shackled Realm.
She wasn't prepared to do that nor Alice wanted that scenario. After all, Souta was going to arrive soon. It was just a matter of time before their opponent suffered a defeat.
She had one hundred percent trust that these enemies wouldn't be able to breathe in front of her leader.
She moved her body and threw a potion on the ground. The potion caused a small explosion and thick smoke covered the area.
"Come! Leave the city! We can't rescue any citizens!"
She said to her comrades.
"Yes, Mam." The experts of Astros followed Isabella's instructions. Soon, almost everyone was outside the city.
"Sigh..." Isabella continued to help the remaining experts by throwing potions that produced thick smoke.
The citizens were charmed and they had no way to dispel such ability. This made her feel bad. A lot of innocent people died in this operation.
This was their mistake.
Suddenly, she paused as she turned her head outside the city. A faint rumbling sound could be heard in a distance and there was a heavy aura coming from it.
It was familiar. Realizing this, a smile bloomed on her face as she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally." Isabella relaxed her tense muscle.
Ohm!!
A heavy aura spread. Dark clouds gathered in the sky as thunder roared wildly.
Alice, Eztein, Elder Guan, and Edward paused for a moment. They couldn't help but shift their gazes at the dark clouds.
This best feram...?
The undulation...
There's no doubt.
All of them were familiar with this aura except for the Wingless Crow and Third Head.
"What's that?! A monster...?!" One of the Wingless Crow members said.
"Yeah... You guys are done." Eztein grinned before he slowly retreated. There's no point in staying in this place now.
Alice, Elder Guan, and Edward also retreated and it made everyone confused.
Boom!!
A loud deafening sound reverberated. Everyone couldn't help but turned their eyes from the direction where the sound came from.
Ohm!
They saw a lone figure suspended in the sky just below the dark clouds.
