The Medallion -
Chapter 1013 Retreat From The Flame Mountain
At that moment, the Ice Phoenix Eagle dropped to the ground with a loud thud. Although one of its ice wings broke, it quickly got up and let out a sharp roar. Then it rushed forward to begin its slaughter. Everyone was focused on getting their hands on the spiritual treasure, so none of them heeded the Ice Phoenix Eagle. The resulting scene was extremely chaotic.
"What a fearless bunch!" Right then, Rocky floated in the air. One moment he sneered and narrowed his eyes. The next moment, he vanished.
Because they didn't work together as a team against the Ice Phoenix Eagle, no one could get near the spiritual treasure and many of them ended up injured while fighting the beast.
"Tate, go and attack it from behind!" Alexander commanded. Realizing they were in a dire situation, he worried it would only get worse.
Tate nodded before approaching the Ice Phoenix Eagle from behind.
"Everyone! We won't get anywhere if we keep scrambling around for the spiritual treasure like this. Why don't we make things easier by working together?" Alexander proposed loudly to several masters of the Divine Stage.
Hearing his proposition, the masters of the Divine Stage glanced at each other before joining hands. This would give them a better opportunity to trap the Ice Phoenix Eagle and seize the spiritual treasure. Once Alexander and the other masters of the Divine Stage blocked the Ice Phoenix Eagle, around seven to eight Supernal Stage warriors proceeded to approach the spiritual treasure. This group of warriors included Tate, the two sisters from the Cao Clan, and Heavenly Wolf Harold (Algy's subordinate and the first killer of the Timber Deity Empire).
Depending solely on strength wouldn't get them the spiritual treasure in such a chaotic battle. They'd also need a lot of luck.
"Queenie, I'll stop Tate. You go and retrieve the spiritual treasure," Lucilla instructed Queenie before heading for Tate. She'd rather have anyone else claim the spiritual treasure than allowing Tate to own it. "Lucilla, why are you doing this?" Tate asked once he realized what she was planning. The realization turned him cold, but he had no time to contemplate. Immediately, he confronted Lucilla. Meanwhile, the other masters of the Supernal Stage who were nearer to the spiritual treasure were now trying to prevent the other from getting any nearer to it. More specifically, the masters above the middle level of the Supernal Stage were blocked by more masters.
This allowed the petite Queenie to sneak towards the spiritual treasure quicker.
Unbeknown to her, Harold was also approaching the spiritual treasure. He was much stronger than Queenie.
"This spiritual treasure belongs to the eldest prince. If you don't want to die, get out of the way!" Harold threatened before he drew nearer to Queenie, intending to attack her.
Since she was injured, she knew she could never defeat him. So she made a decision. Immediately, she threw herself in to the air. As she fell from the sky in an arc, she reached out to grab the spiritual treasure that floated in the air.
"You're not getting away with it!" Harold's palm quickly turned into a ferocious wolf shadow that was about to bite Queenie from behind.
But before the shadow could harm her, a figure blocked it with a flash of colorful light in his hand.
A colorful, gorgeous blade drew an arc in the air as it slashed at Harold who was greatly surprised by the attack. As the spiritual light shone in all directions, he was knocked off his feet like a leaf floating through the breeze.
Queenie now floated and held the spiritual treasure before landing on the ground. She turned towards the figure wielding the colorful blade that blocked Harold. She shouted excitedly, "You came just in time, you bastard!"
Several princes, including Geoffrey, were exasperated to see that Queenie had gotten the spiritual treasure. After all, Queenie was the weakest of all the masters at the Supernal Stage.
From afar, Woods was watching the scene unfold. Because he wasn't a spirit manipulator, he was under the protection of two spirit manipulators. He was happy to see Rocky and Queenie succeed at getting the spiritual treasure.
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and cease her!" Algy commanded angrily.
The masters of the Supernal Stage who were busy fighting each other stopped once they realized what happened. Immediately, they rushed towards her and the treasure.
"Queenie, let's get you out of here." Rocky knew that if he didn't leave with the treasure, these guys would never let him go. Like steam turning into air, they vanished without a trace.
Before everyone realized what happened, both Rocky and Queenie had disappeared.
Alyssa, who had been paying close attention to the battle at the altar narrowed her eyes once she realized Queenie, Rocky, and the treasure were nowhere to be found. Then she ordered, "We can't stay here any longer. Everyone retreat!"
Everyone followed her command and hastily retreated.
Lucas and the other masters of the Divine Stage were the last to retreat as they stopped the pursuers.
Alyssa led her troops to the west of the flame mountain.
To everyone's surprise, the Fire Phoenix Eagle and the Ice Phoenix Eagle that closely chased them suddenly burst into dazzling spiritual light. In the blink of an eye, both beasts merged into one and exhibited an astonishing power that was of the eight-star level.
This terrified all who witnessed it.
"Run!" Alyssa shouted once she realized they were all knee-deep in a dangerous situation.
Once the beasts successfully merged, their power would be heightened. Even if Alyssa and several other masters of the Divine Stage worked together, they might not be able to stop them.
Out of nowhere, a spirit-manipulated beast resembling a crane flew over the flame mountain's mouth. Two figures stood on the crane, and one of them donned a white robe and drew circles with his hands to conjure spiritual power.
It was two powerful elders from the Timber Deity Empire.
"Timber heaven and earth..." one of the elders named Nester shouted loudly before a strange light began to glow between his hands. Then, countless branches and tendrils quickly grew from under the feet of the two beasts who were now entangled and trapped.
Meanwhile, the other elder summoned a giant spirit-manipulated beast that closely resembled a spider. It spat out golden threads that formed a web. Soon, both the Ice Phoenix Eagle and the Fire Phoenix Eagle were ensnared in the tight network of tendrils and threads.
"Run! We can't hold it for much longer," Nester exclaimed to Alyssa and the others.
Quickly, Alyssa led her troops to the nearest opening and retreated from the flame mountain towards safety.000000
