Just as Moli crouched down, clutching her head in defense, a yellow lightning bolt, akin to a thunderbolt, suddenly shot out from the entrance of Snake Head Street, twisting through the air like a distorted tree branch.
The thunder light shone brilliantly, carrying with it a destructive power that instantly pierced the body of the giant monster.
The monster didn’t scream in pain because as its huge mouth opened, the thunder light had already passed through its body, severing it in two with the force of gravity.
The blood and filthy, scalding acid inside were ignited by the intense heat, emitting a foul smell like rotten eggs dancing with flames, disgustingly nauseating.
The body of the shark-headed beast split into two in midair, while Moli on the ground, trembling slightly, probably thought she had already been swallowed.
When Fisher had been beside her just now, she felt an infinite courage welling up inside her, but now with the severely injured Fisher sent to the inn, she felt a void behind her, and the fear of the monster surged back up again.
"Eh? I... I haven’t been eaten yet?"
After waiting several seconds without feeling the terrifying sensation of being devoured, Moli cautiously lifted her small face buried in her cheeks a bit and looked around.
On the narrow Snake Head Street, the bisected body of the giant fish still emitted a charred odor, and Old Jack behind her was unharmed, though he covered his waist in pain and looked breathlessly towards the road ahead.
Ahead, countless Human Worms roared furiously, not at Moli, but towards the entrance of Snake Head Street, where several soldiers in golden uniforms stood out distinctively in the darkness of Snake Head Street.
The leading soldier was holding a sheepskin scroll emitting a charred smell, its magic emblem had completely lost its luster, there should have been a Six Ring Thunder Magic there, the magic that had saved Moli was cast by him.
"Secure this area, kill all those monsters."
Hundreds of Human Worms howled like tides, attacking the Guard Army behind them, the frontline soldiers knelt and set up their guns, while several knights clad in heavy armor with giant swords stepped slowly towards the front line.
"Blessing One·Immune to Poison and Curses"
"Blessing Two·Unaffected by..."
"Enough! Stop reciting those damn blessings, you’re wasting the Magic Emblem Book, we’ll be back soon!"
Those knights wielding giant swords waved their hands to interrupt the words of the Royal Mage holding the Magic Emblem Book and raised their heavy swords, ready for the attacking troops.
A volley of fire knocked down the leading row of Human Worms directly, the others charged but were cut down by the knights who surged out from the formation, the name Gedelin of the Golden Emblem revolved, each sword strike and attack carried an immense force.
The knights mowed down the countless charging Human Worms like a meat grinder, not just stopping them but also constantly advancing forward.
In an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere, physical and acid attacks were like tickles to these knights, causing no real harm.
In contrast, every swing of their giant swords inflicted deep golden wounds, after which the Human Worms practically had no choice but to die right there... although it’s also unclear if they were really alive in their current state.
After a fierce battle, the fight turned one-sided, and the Royal Guard’s First Column was the first to reach the end of Klein River, the battle lasted seven minutes, and when the last knight pulled his blade from a Human Worm’s body, only the bloody stench of cold wind swept through the street entrance, and looking carefully, no Human Worm was left standing.
"Quick! Follow me, thinking our gang can be easily bullied?"
At that moment, countless gang members holding torches and armed with guns and machetes rushed to the street entrance shouting in a frenzy.
The gang leader, seeing the line of Golden Knights wiping their giant swords amid the dwindling corpses of Human Worms from afar, immediately felt his legs go weak, but fortunately, a loyal subordinate quickly reached out to support him.
"Cough cough, what are you staring at, turn back and go home to sleep!"
The gang members made no sound at all and did not dare to raise their torches high, orderly turned around and left, like a greedy snake losing its head on the spot, slowly returning into the depths of Snake Head Street.
Even though the gang was highly connected in Saint Nali, they still clearly knew who not to mess with; since the Guard Army came to "protect" Snake Head Street, these good citizens of Saint Nali naturally welcomed them.
"Your Highness, everything has been taken care of, and no trace was left."
The leading knights all lined up properly, countless footsteps echoed along the stone bricks of Snake Head Street, an eager step entered the messy street first, numerous pungent scents surged up, but Elizabeth in a white dress didn’t pause at all, walking straight towards Moli and Old Jack.
