As the dust cleared, Ad the others were shocked to find that both Zarix and Wukong had retreated 20 meters from their inal positions, meaning that, shogly, despite the differen realms, both were equal in terms of power.

  "As this king said earlier, upon reag the impose boundary of prehension, you'll be able to borrow the imposing force of nature to enhance your strikes," Wukong expined leisurely.

  Although he was fag the dragon-scaled bear, everyone was clear he was talking to Ace, ae Zarix's boiling fury, Wukong calmly tinued.

  "The impose boundary is essentially a warrior's way of being oh nature, whi turn allows them to start prehending the infinite profundities of the natural ws, which is what will allow you to break through to bee a saint, provided you've reached the peak of the 9th rank that is," Wukong expined as he tinuously evaded his oppo's attacks and replying in kind.

  His strikes from earlier did o no actual damage, but now, with him borrowing the imposing force of nature to enhahe power of his strikes, he was able to actually threaten his oppo, albeit only barely.

  Even in his current dition, Zarix's defence was too sturdy. He was able to all but ighe damage done by each strike and attack with just as much force as ever, but Wukong remained indifferent.

  "The odd thing about the impose boundary is that the higher your insights into any of the natural ws, the more force you'll be able to borrow, but that's such a primitive way of fighting for those who've gained insights into any of the ws, which is why you'll never see any actual saint level warriors still using impose," Wukong expined as he jumped back to put some distaween him and his oppo.

  Zarix watched in shod horror as sparks of electricity began to flicker around his oppo's staff. "You…

  That…

  Impossible!"

  Wukong ighe bear's fearful ramblings as he tinued his expnation. "Saints fight by directly infusing their insights of the profound mysteries of nature into their attacks."

  As he said that, Wukong and his staff turned into a bolt of lightning as he chased after the saint-level magical beast whose paws had just left the ground as he attempted to fly away. Unfortunately for Zarix, their speeds were in two different leagues.

  As soon as Wukong disappeared from his inal position, the impulsive noise of a thunder g sounded from him shattering the sound barrier.

  Zarix had only risen a few meters off the ground when Wukong appeared above his head.

  "[Pierg Thunder!]" Wukong roared as his staff sped through the air with unparalleled momentum.

  The beast khere was no dodging this one. All he could do now was raise his hands to cover his face from the strike of his monstrous oppo, but Wukong's attack was too powerful.

  All the bones in both his paws shattered on impact, and he released a loud wail as he was sent flying through the air, crashing into the front line of the army of beasts and, more specifically, Sartius, the ninth-rank armoured razorback wyrm.

  "This level of prehension is called 'the profound realm,'" Wukong said proudly as he fell from the sky.

  Though his prehension had long since reached the level of saints, his realm hadn't. As such, he was still incapable of flight.

  The moment his foot touched the ground, his body once again transformed into a bolt of lightning as he aimed to quickly put ao the fight with his move. Regrettably, the saint-level bck dragon had seen enough.

  "[Bck Dragon's Breath!]" Yasha roared as a scorg bck fme jetted out of its mouth.

  Fortunately, Wukong wasn't oblivious to his surroundings and was able to e to a stop just in time to avoid the dragon's attack, which had actually melted his battle-qi despite the ck of direct tact, but Yasha wasn't do.

  Even though he was going against his word, an act that went against his pride as a dragon, the ability Wukong showed today was too enting. He had never seen or even heard of anyone able to defeat a saint whilst still at the eighth rank. He got the feeling that if Wukong were giveime to grow, he'd grow to reach a level even his boss could only look up to, and there were already three humans at that level; they couldn't afford for there to be a fourth!

  "Ugh!" Wukong grunted as he was sent flying by Yasha's tail.

  Yasha knew his actual movement speed couldn't pare to the warrior ape's, but his attack speed was nothing to scoff at.

  "Zarix, you still fight?" Yasha asked as he watched the badly injured scaled bear roll off the beasts beh him to get to his feet.

  "I'm fihe bear growled, angered by the public humiliation it had suffered.

  "Good. Follow me to deal with that mortal ape. I'll kill him; I just need you to keep him from running away," Yasha ordered as he prepared to fly in Wukong's dire. "Sartius, lead the others to destroy the humans. I don't want ANY survivors!"

  Sartius, the armoured razorback wyrm, roared in uanding before setting its sights on the humalement, more specifically at Ace. It khat when Yasha said "any survivors," he meant the boy.

  Ace couldn't help but gulp when he felt the threatening eyes of the wyrm fall on him, but thankfully, he wasn't on his own.

  "Don't worry, I'll make sure they don't get near you," Venerin said as he pced a hand on his shoulder to fort him before turning to face the stro mage amongst his subordinates. "Silum, you stay with Ad support us from here."

  "Yes, milord!" The older man said as he stepped forward.

  "Today, two of our own gave their lives to protect our home. And now, despite us winning the petition, the beasts want to go ba their word. Why? Because they fear us. They fear our potential!" Venerin said frostily as he leapt from the walls, calmly leading two of his remaining generals through their soldiers towards the army of beasts. "We will undoubtedly lose many more, but they'll lose twice as many! So follow me and show these stupid beasts the sequenessing with SILVERLIGHT CITY!"

  Venerin roared as he charged towards the wyrm who killed one of his generals.

  "FOR SILVERLIGHT!" Luciarde, the hammer-wielding peak sixth-rank warrior who wao take Hysode's p the earlier battle, roared as he followed his leader into battle.

  "FOR SILVERLIGHT!" The army echoed as they too, began their fearless charge!

  Just as the beasts and the Silverlight Army were about to make tact, Silum, who had been standing calmly besides Ace, made his move. "Earth Tremor!"

  As he said that, Ace watched as the ground that the beasts were running on began to tremble intensely.

  Other than Silum, there were a total of 10 mages, and as if they had practiced this move, they all uheir most powerful spells as the first lines of beasts began to trip over each other.

  Balls of fire, wind bdes, arrows of water, and various other elemental attacks lit up the sky before crashing into the middle of the beast waves.

  At the same time, Venerin and his two enerals were the first to make tact with the first line of beasts. Whilst Venerin cshed against Sartius, Luciarde, and Kulen – a straight-sword wielding warrior of the sixth rank – began a sughter.

  Though there were several higher-ranked beasts, the majority were between the first and third ranks, with the beasts at the fourth rank and above positioned further back.

  With the first few liumbling and falling over themselves, thanks to Silum's spell, it made Luciarde and Kulen's job even easier. With absolutely ation, the two sixth-rank warriors sughtered a path straight through the army of magical beasts. At least two beasts would lose their lives with every wave of their ons.

  As the magical beasts at the front got back to their feet, the rest of the Silverlight Army was already on top of them, and they had absolutely no iions of giving these cursed beasts who were threatening their homes the ce tahemselves.

  Though the initial csh saw the Silverlight army domihings didn't tinue like that for very long.

  When the soldiers were forced to go up against the beasts that weren't hurrying back to their feet, the tide seemed to switch. They weren't like Ace, who could jump ranks to defeat magical beasts. It took two or even three soldiers to take down a beast of the same level, but there were too mas to do that.

  Luciarde and Kulen desperately wao help their subordinates, but they soon found themselves surrounded by stronger beasts that took loo defeat.

  The only positive was that although the dragons could and low and intermediate-ras, they had virtually no and h-ranked beasts. So, other than Yasha and Zarix, who were busy with Wukong, and Sartius, who was fag off against Venerin, there were no other beasts above the sixth rank to worry about.

  Ace also had to admit that Silum, Leini – the sixth rank fire mage and final general – and the es were each like ons of mass destru. Every single spell they cast saw dozens of beasts perish, but unfortunately, the army of beasts was never-ending, and with the battle between Venerin and the Armoured Razorback Wyrm ramping up, Silum was fog his energy on supp him.
