Before Raine could issue a warning, in an instant—

"Sunbeam!"

A brilliant beam of light, as thick as a water barrel, shot directly from Siegfried’s clasped palms towards the circular battle formation of the Royal Guard.

The four Royal Guards at the forefront, with Classes Level reaching eight, were as if candles confronted by a raging flame; their sturdy Shields, Heavy Armor, and rigorously trained bodies instantly showed damage!

Indeed.

Damage!

And when all the damaged areas were pieced together, they formed the cross-section of a circular beam of light.

With just one strike.

Siegfried had penetrated the Royal Guard formation, almost impossible to breach under normal circumstances.

And at this moment, the brilliance gathered in Siegfried’s hands once again...

"Quickly, split and break through!"

"As long as we leave the Realm of Light and Shadow, their Magic won’t be so powerful!" Henry shouted, eyes red, like a maddened bull.

"Escape? Can you really escape?"

"Pitiful wretches of the Kingdom!"

The Black Fist Commander Gelkuk, wielding a double-edged Giant Axe, roared with a grin while charging forward.

"Swoosh!"

As the second dazzling beam flashed, two overlapping Royal Guards were instantly pierced through, and the remaining sunbeam continued forward.

But in an instant!

A round Skull Shield blocked directly in front of it.

If you looked closely enough, you could see a fleeting white ice crystal shimmer across the Shield’s surface.

Yet, seemingly due to the beam’s overwhelming power, the ice crystal vanished in an instant, leaving no resistance as the beam struck directly onto the peculiarly styled Round Shield.

In that moment, Raine felt as if his left hand were facing the Claw Strike of a Giant Dragon, akin to wrestling with dozens of bison.

Luckily!

Thanks to ’Wall of the Dead’, firm as Epic Level Magic Equipment.

"Ah!"

With a low growl, Raine’s left arm muscles swelled again, veins jumped like worms, and he suddenly exerted force, remarkably deflecting the beam with a ’bang’.

And this deflection was at such a tricky angle, heading straight towards the Black Fist Army’s Vice-Captain, the Fear Mage Hydos. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Swoosh!"

Hydos’ eyes widened in panic, but before he could deploy any defensive Magic, his entire being and the Mage Shield surrounding him melted like a Candle.

What!

Raine’s unsuccessful Ice Shield Reflection shocked almost everyone present!

Siegfried’s face hidden under the hood turned towards Raine for the first time.

"It’s you, Raine!"

And Lilith, clad in a red Mage Robe beside Siegfried, was nearly stunned with her beautiful eyes wide open seeing this scene.

Having previously faced Raine, Lilith had naturally witnessed Raine’s ’peculiar’ move, but judging from the strength level shown before, the opponent was quite a distance from being Transcendent.

But unexpectedly, the opponent’s strength had skyrocketed, capable of facing Siegfried’s Sixth Level Spell strike head-on.

In reality, Lilith somewhat overestimated Raine; if the strike hadn’t been greatly weakened by the sacrifice of two Royal Guards, the outcome would be unpredictable.

After defending Siegfried’s strike, Raine dashed towards the Black Fist Commander Gelkuk, who was tearing open a gap, like an arrow off a string.

At the same time, his calm voice reached everyone’s ears:

"I’ll handle the Black Fist Commander."

"Commodore Gregory, Meredith, and the Krit Squad, you hold off Siegfried."

Raine’s words were like a sobering needle, snapping Henry back to reality.

"Quick! Follow Raine’s instructions!" Henry, instantly spirited, loudly repeated Raine’s words while beginning to systematically organize the Royal Guard to regroup their defense formation.

Earlier, Henry was caught off guard by Siegfried’s Magic, but his battle acumen was still decent.

"Colonel Tessa, leave the Observer Boke to you."

"Wait! First organize Demon Mage Lilith to cast the Summoning Spell!"

Suddenly, Henry’s tone changed!

Glancing over while engaging the Black Fist Commander, Raine noticed Lilith holding a vial of crimson, mercury-like blood, her pale face covered with dark red Grazte bloodline markings, as her bright eyes swiftly became enveloped by black mist.

"In Grazte’s name, receiving the Erosion gift from the fourth layer of the Abyss, the bloodline inheritor Lilith... Morgan guide my path...By the contract of my soul, breaking free from the plane’s shackles..."

As Lilith’s incantation began, an inverse pentagram precisely lit up beneath everyone’s feet!

"This is a Sixth Level Advanced Evil Demon Summoning!"

"Quickly! Interrupt her!" shouted Keller Krit, the ninth-level fire Mage, much alarmed.

Sixth level?

This made everyone’s hearts tighten!

Under normal circumstances, Lilith, who hadn’t crossed into Transcendent, couldn’t cast a Sixth Level Spell’s Advanced Evil Demon Summoning.

But augmented by the Realm of Light and Shadow, her Erosion Energy was boosted by thirty percent; moreover, she possessed Magic Equipment that heightened the success rate of ’Summoning Evil Demons’, of rare level.

Additionally, the blood vial in her hand was from a reward by the Talin Association, the essence of a Transcendent strong person.

With these three factors combined, Lilith’s probability of successfully casting Advanced Evil Demon Summoning significantly increased.
