Chapter 452: Turning Point (2)

A few minutes earlier.

Liu Ying and the others continued fighting the men of the Church of Slaughter. Even though Eres killed the demigod that had been watching them, the situation of the girls did not improve much.

After all, the number of members of the Church of Slaughter was overwhelming, and Eres had left them to help Bloed who was being attacked by several demigods.

"Liu Ying, Aya is in danger!" The honey-haired girl, Gina, shouted suddenly, making Liu Ying throw a punch towards Aya.

Aya immediately crouched, allowing Liu Ying's attack to pass over her and hit a man that had appeared suddenly behind her!

The man seemed to be a stealth user. None of the girls had managed to sense him. It was only thanks to Gina's foresight and warning that Aya escaped uninjured.

Aya nodded gratefully to Liu Ying and Gina before she faded inside the shadows, appearing behind two enemies and stabbing her daggers on their backs, before disappearing again and targeting another pair of enemies.

But when she was about to kill them, a figure wielding a hammer appeared in front of her, blocking her daggers with a bloodthirsty smile.

"Die, girl!"

Aya's expression turned grave. She could see that the enemy was a peak A-Rank practitioner!

The cat girl hurriedly jumped back, but the A-Rank enemy chased after her, swinging his hammer towards her stomach.

The hammer was so fast that Aya seemed unable to avoid it!

But suddenly, the movements of the enemy stiffened.

It was Princess Elwha's illusion!

She had managed to interfere with the A-Rank's mind, freezing his movements for an instant!

And although it was just an instant, it allowed Raven to retreat to a safe place.

Moreover

*Pu!*

A figure appeared behind the stiffened enemy, using a dagger to slit his neck and awakening him from the illusion.

Sara had attacked!

The A-Rank's eyes opened wide in disbelief and confusion. He tried to use his hands to stop the bleeding, but it was useless.

He could only watch as he bled to death, collapsing on the ground.

Until the end, he did not manage to see the figure of the girl that killed him.

Sara's stealth was that powerful. Unless it was someone much stronger than her, she was almost impossible to detect.

The cooperation of the girls was impeccable. They relied on their different abilities to face the group of enemies without falling into a disadvantage.

Of course, part of the reason they had endured until now was that Prince Calisto's men were sharing part of the pressure with them.

However, though none of them having been injured yet, the expressions of the girls were anxious.

The enemies were unending, and they seemed ready to sacrifice their lives to attain their goal.

Princess Elwha's Heart of the Forest.

The situation was so critical that the elf princess was biting her lips, wondering if it was better if she gave them the heart in exchange for letting them escape.

However, Elwha could not make that decision so easily. After all, the Heart of the Forest was too important for her people.

Just then, the expression of Gina became ashen.

"It can't be!"

She murmured in fear and looked in the direction of Bloed's battle.

In the air, she could see two demigods of the Church of Slaughter observing the situation.

Right then, she noticed the strongest of the two demigods glancing in her direction.

Then, he smiled.

Gina turned pale.

"We need to run away!" She shouted. "Sister, sister Liu Ying, we need to run!"

"Gina, what happened!?" Sara asked hurriedly as the rest of the girls paid attention to Gina's words.

However, Gina's expression became even paler.

" No, it's too late."

"Gina?"

" The demigod will attack us"

The expressions of the girls changed.

They hurriedly looked towards the two demigods hovering in the air and saw they looking towards them.

Then, one of them released a group of terrifying shadow monsters in their direction as the other slashed with their sword.

The girls paled. They shivered when they felt the enormous destructive power behind the two attacks, and their bodies froze in fear.

They could only watch powerlessly as the shadow monsters and the sword slash came towards them.

But then, Princess Elwha roared.

"Stop!!!"

One of her earrings lit up, and powerful mana was released from it. At the same time, all her mana and soul power erupted!

"Activate!!!" She cried.

In the next instant, a translucid barrier appeared around the group!

*Boom!!!*

The attacks collided with the barrier, making it tremble violently as cracks appeared on it.

The earring was a life-saving treasure she had received from her father. It was able to release a barrier powerful enough to stop a demigod-level attack for a few seconds.

However, the Saint of the Church of Slaughter was not a normal demigod. His attack quickly overwhelmed the barrier.

Moreover, another demigod was attacking the barrier together with him, making the barrier quickly crack up.

It would not be able to endure more than one second!

Elwha's face turned red, and she spat out a mouthful of blood. But her face turned firm. She took a deep breath, and squeezing her last bits of mana and soul power, she shouted again.

"I said stop!"

Her voice was infused with all her mana and soul power. It reached the ears of all the people on the battlefield, freezing their movements for an instant!

Even Regina and the Saint of the Church of Slaughter saw their movements briefly obstructed.

" Huh? How interesting." The Saint of the Church of Slaughter crackled. "But what is the difference between dying now or one second later?"

Grinning, he ordered his three shadow monsters to attack again.

The barrier trembled even more, and cracks appeared all over it. It was about to be destroyed.

But this time, Princess Elwha had collapsed unconscious, her face completely white as blood flowed out of her nostrils and her body trembled in pain.

The girls despaired. They could see the barrier cracking. At the same time, they could see Bloed rushing towards them, his face filled with fear and despair as he desperately tried to reach them.

Unfortunately, he was too far away.

But then

" It looks like we are not too late."

A sweet voice suddenly resounded on the battlefield.

To the girls' surprise, a beautiful girl wearing a nun habit appeared in front of them, followed by a stalwart man wielding a greatsword.

The man brandished the greatsword, cutting the three shadow monsters easily, and destroying the sword slash. He then attacked the two demigods in the sky, forcing them to retreat.

At the same time, the beautiful girl wearing the nun habit clasped her hands, making a prayer and strengthening the barrier protecting the girls.

" It looks like we are not too late." It should be enough. She smiled.

"Dogs of Fate!" The face of the Saint of the Church of Slaughter turned ugly.

However, the nun girl only smiled provocatively at his words.

"Hehe, the heretics of slaughter sure are daring. How do you dare to attack our church's protegee? Do you want to die?"

Her name was Charise Amra, Saintess of the Church of Fate.

And behind her, The Order of the Guiding Light appeared, brandishing their swords mercilessly and reaping the lives of the heretics.
