In the west of Neo’s city, a green beam of light could be seen rushing toward the four factions’ battlefield.
In the south and north, many beams of light, one white and another black, could also be seen piercing through the sky and rushing toward the same destination.
Baron, who was leading the best men, looked at the sky as his eyes narrowed. He knew the real competition was coming.
So, even if the battlefield was to his advantage, he gave the command as he looked at the pillar of rainbow light with a little greed in his heart.
The beastmen understood his command as all those below Ascension quickly fled the battlefield, while those in the Ascension realm got ready for battle.
Baron started at the sky, especially at the east side, from there he could sense the singular monstrous aura approaching.
The aura of the Flower of Death, the singular biggest threat on the coming battlefield. Sensing her coming alone, he understood that she was here for destruction and not for the mine. He could somewhat make out the plans of the mysterious lord.
He watched in silence as the energy concentration of the battlefield continued to increase. He looked down as a flower started to bloom from the east as with the blooming of the flower the ground withered.
In the south side, a holy majesty spread, as all life started to glow and in the north side a deathly aura suppressed all life making the place barren.
Not willing to be outdone and to make sure to show no weakness, he also released his aura as the wild breath, like that of a beast, tore the ground beneath his feet.
"I seem to have quite the company~"
Voice spoken in a gentle tone filled the battlefield, followed by the laughter as sweet as honey but this laugh made the fur on Barons ears stand.
He understood that beneath that gentle voice and honey-like laughter, a life-consuming poison hid. She is just like her energy, something that makes the flower grow by consuming the vitality of the ground.
A momentary beauty followed by the endless embrace of death.
"If you don’t like the company, you can go back."
A masculine but old voice snorted out loud as a death knight stood in the air, glaring at Lily, his eyes burning with rage as the karmic intent flowed uncontrollably out of his body.
He was already angry, and now seeing this woman’s face, he is even angrier.
Lily spoke playfully as she started to giggle, seeing his enemy happy, his anger that was barely contained almost broke free.
But thinking about the Ascension and Transcendent rank undead following his he stopped, if he starts a battle with Lily now then his side will suffer the greatest loss.
After all, if he attacks the flower of death, the beastmen may take this chance and attack his troops. Although the guy named Baron isn’t as strong as him, he is still a heavyweight.
A commanding voice spoke in an annoyed voice as a spear made of spear intent of annihilation came at Lily.
She swiftly dozed as the space she was standing on slowly crumbled. Lily, still with a smile on her face, looked at the annoyed angel in golden armor in the distance.
"Oh, if it isn’t my sister’s punching bag~"
Stabilizing herself, Lily commented as she looked at Angelia with a smile. Angelia, who heard Lily’s words, had her face completely turned black and blue with anger as her wings slowly started to darken.
Seeing this, a look a fear appeared on her face as she quickly calmed down her emotions, using a type of holy magic she cleared her anger.
"tch, the curse of the fallen."
She softly muttered as she pointed her golden spear at Lily, the spear’s intent of annihilation coiled like a dragon around the spear as it shined like a golden star. A holy glow was born inside the spear as she added the holy essence to it.
The angels behind her also got into a battle formation as the energy in their bodies was being collected in their staff or spear.
Karma wasn’t to be outdone as he took out his great sword, the blade black as the netherworld, gleaming with a red light as Sword Intent of Karmic Death bloomed with great brilliance.
A black light like parasite spread throughout the sword intent as Karma activated his Death Essence.
The undead mage behind him started to summon a large number of undead including the undead knights and headless horseman’s created a protective formation.
Baron roared as his upper body clothes exploded off his body, his muscles started to swell as they were slowly covered with white fur.
His human-like face deformed, turning into the face of a wolf as the beastly presence surrounding him increased.
The Silver Wolf Fist intent covered his entire body as his height reached a magical 4 meters, even in this monstrous-like state, Baron didn’t lose his rationality as he commanded his army to a formation.
"A lot of show-offs ~"
"Then don’t mind if I join the party."
"As the judge thought ~"
Lily commented from the side as her staff bloomed with a rainbow colored light, a light so intense that it almost matched the energy leaking out from the ground.
She activated her domain covering ten centimeters around her as she waved her staff. A Perennial bloomed under her feet as the petals gently wrapped around her, protecting her.
She tapped her staff near her feet as a intense green light bloomed falling toward the ground being absorbed by it.
The ground rumbled as tens of meters-long cracks appeared in the ground, and a giant tree covered in various flowers bloomed from the ground.
Hundreds of hundreds of meters long and thick roots shot out to the sky, creating a majestic sight. The tree slowly rose as it reached under Lily’s foot.
Then the trunk split, creating a cage for Lily as she sat on the perennial with a smile on her face. She looked like a trapped fairy, a pitiful existence, but her smile said otherwise.
The tree continued to rise, reaching a height of six thousand meters, its multi colored leaves shone with such radiance that it outshone everything around it.
The roots like dragons rotated around the tree as each of them had runes made of different colors, signifying different elements.
Lily slept on the flower petals, hugging her staff, watching the three groups with a smile on her face.
Lily softly muttered as she tapped her staff on the tree; with that motion, purple cracks spread throughout the tree, glowing with poisonous light.
All the roots also had purple cracks, as even the air seemed to show signs of being poisoned. Hundreds of meters of ground near the tree slowly melted away as the three groups were forced to back out.
All three leaders had an ugly face as they couldn’t stop this event as it happened too quickly for them to react, now looking at the majestic tree, they felt some pressure.
They knew that Lily was here just to buy time, and this tree here will do just that, although not lethal to them three but will be an annoying opponent.
"Let this show start, shall we~"
"Please entertain me~"
Lily gently muttered, but her voice reached all corners of the battlefield. With a gentle wave of her hands, the roots roared like dragons as they broke through the air.
Three commanders gave three different answers as the holy magic bloomed, bombarding the roots nonstop.
Angelia, like an eagle, flew through the sky, and with a single wave of her spear, a root was cut in half, the intent of annihilation spread, stopping the regeneration of the roots.
But this didn’t decrease the number of roots as more sprouted from the ground, various beams of elemental energy fired at her as she dodged all those attacks, leaving a trail of golden light.
The undead quickly dispersed as karma rushed heard first, the roots collected elemental energy s they fired a multi colored beam of energy hundreds of meter thick.
Karma snorted as he realized his greatsword and swung down, an air sword made purely of the sword intent of karmic death rushed forward colliding with the beam of light.
They both canceled each other out as Karma waved his greatsword, cutting tens of roots with one stroke. But it was useless as these roots quickly healed and slammed down toward him.
The air exploded as hundreds of sonic booms were heard as Karma parried hundreds of attacks in one motions cutting the roots into various pieces.
The leaves of the tree were blown by the wind as they rushed toward him like a swarm of blades with speed near to light.
Hundreds of thousands of such attacks came his way as his body was quickly covered with the sword intent of karmic death as he blocked all the attacks with thousands of swings of his greatsword.
