After Sedrick died, the women from Lily’s group still guarded the opening.Many monsters attacked them from different directions, trying to break the seal, but the women used combined aura moves to beat the monsters while using minimum energy possible.In a small plant nearby, one eye opened.Sheryl watched through that eye. “That’s the blood hawk unit that works under Lily. fI’ve seen them deal internal damage to enemies just by touching their bodies. They are specialist masters of Blood Arts, which only a very few managed to learn, including Boss Denver. Together they’ll be a tough enemy to defeat. What an annoying situation. As long as they’re guarding the sword, I can’t get it back. Where did Lily go after leaving the sword here?”Sheryl was planning on taking that sword and then fighting the monsters herself, but Catherine said that it was a stupid idea as they don’t know how many monsters would pour out of the portal.At the same time, Lily saw Mickey, Black Dragon, Leo and Jami

Elsewhere in Hawk Park.Catherine was fighting a frog general using crystal swords. This monster was nearly eleven feet tall, and it tried to chomp on her body parts during the midst of the fight.Catherine was put on edge. One small mistake, and she wouldn’t be alive to make another mistake.The frog monster relentlessly attacked with the swords, trying to chop her limbs off.“Gravitas Shield,” she blocked all the attacks successfully.The frog monster, however, did not get upset or angry and kept at it. “Your ability reminds me of some of the caves where the pressure changes abruptly. You are somehow able to control the speed of my blades before they reach you.”“Then you should know that you can’t beat me,” Catherine said, huffing.“But I can keep doing this forever,” the frog general retorted. “From what I can see, your stamina is going to run out soon.”Catherine pushed herself and managed to deflect the swords, then struck the frog general’s body with a series of punches.Boulde

Attacks came from all four directions.Except for Catherine and Sheryl, the others in the group weren’t even in a position to defend themselves.Sheryl was about to create seed shells to cover everyone, but Catherine unleashed pressure in all four directions.She gave everything she got, but she was only able to buy a second or two.Sheryl used that little time to grab everyone in the group and take them underground through a channel of roots.The four attacks struck Soul King and created a layered explosion that rose through the clouds and evaporated them in the process.This was like watching a firework that rose higher than any tower or mountain in the world.Despite a barrier around Hawk Park shielding the noise from going out, the outsiders were still able to feel the vibrations and the tremors. And they were able to see the flames and smoke that painted the sky, with skull faces appearing at places in the smoke.And the people who witnessed that were terribly afraid.Some captur

Catherine leaped into the crater-zone, ready to use her Gravitas Fist.But part of the dust cleared and revealed who the silhouette was.It wasn’t Beastie but Sheryl.Sheryl was the one who had pinned Beastie down.Catherine stopped herself and ended up rolling on the ground, embarrassing herself in the process.“Where is she?” Sheryl twisted Beastie’s arm, making the skin and muscle tear.“Krgh,” Beastie gnashed her teeth. She found it hard to believe that her attack was perfectly countered.Sheryl used ‘Reverse Grip’ technique to grab Beastie’s arm, not softly or defensively but with calculated force.Sheryl clamped her down with overwhelming strength, fingers digging into aura flare itself like talons into flesh. Then she pivoted, redirecting Beastie’s momentum into the ground.The dive became a dragged spiral instead of a vertical execution.Beastie ended up getting hurt by her own attack because of how adroitly Sheryl handled her.“Using Reverse Grip against Bloodhawk Descent is

“Give us Joelle, and you have this trash,” Sheryl’s voice was loud and sharp enough to rustle leaves.Seeing the state her friends were in, fury laced through Serena’s veins like wildfire in dry brush.“How dare you…” Serena gritted her teeth.The air around her tightened. Dust stilled mid-flight. Glass trembled in its frames.Minerva instinctively stepped back.“How dare you hurt my buddies! You’re dead meat, Green Fang!” Serena roared, bursting the windows and the wall itself.It wasn’t sound, but powerful vibrations accompanied it.From thin spiderwebs to thick tree trunks, everything shook.The council members did not just hear the shout. They felt it in their marrows even though they were behind Serena, and so the shout wasn’t even directed at them.Catherine and Sheryl were in the line of the shout.Sheryl was able to bear it without much of a problem, but Catherine felt a wave of energy pressing against her body, knocking on her ribs and mind with methodical cruelty.Her knees
