Chapter 404:THE TURNING POINT
Back at the front main gate...Roderick and Yuki moved together.Not just fighting near each other,fighting witheach other.Like two parts of the same weapon.Roderick would swing his right axe low.Yuki would follow with her sword high,creating angles. Opening gaps. Exploiting weaknesses.Their hands occasionally clasped between attacks.Brief moments of contact that kept them connected.Grounded.An Emperor lunged at them from the left.Massive. Corrupted flames burning dark and wrong.Multiple mouths opening, revealing rows of fire-teeth.Roderick spun.Both axes came around in a horizontal arc."”FLAME TECHNIQUE—MOLTEN CYCLONE!”"The axes created a spinning wall of liquid fire.Cut clean through the Emperor's arms.Severed them at the shoulders.The creature roared,hollow, empty, wrong.Stumbled backward, arms dissolving.But already regenerating.Yuki was moving, didn't wait, nor hesitate.Used Roderick's shoulder as a platform.Jumped.Launched herself into the air.Her sword ra

"Plus, he knows techniques that most people have never even heard of. Secret Molten Clan methods passed down through generations."The third warrior,middle-aged, thoughtful-looking,shook his head."I don't know. I think Roderick would win."Both the others turned to stare at him."What?"The third warrior elaborated."Look, the Commander is experienced. I'm not denying that. But Roderick is from the academy. He's been trained by the best flame wielders in the realm."He paused."And more importantly,he's still in his prime. Peak physical condition. Peak flame control. Peak reaction time."His voice became more pointed."The Commander isn't. He's in his fifties. He's slowing down. His body can't do what it used to. I've seen him wince when he thinks nobody's looking. Old injuries bothering him."The first warrior looked thoughtful."That's... actually a fair point."The second warrior scoffed."Experience beats youth every time. The Commander would out-think him. Out-strategize him.""
Chapter 402:THE REINFORCEMENTS
Roderick and Yuki walked up to join them.Both breathing slightly hard from running but looking fresh and ready.Weapons already formed,Roderick with his twin flame axes, Yuki with a flame sword.Mira and Asta turned, their voices coming out in perfect unison, thick with sarcasm."It's about time you two showed up."Both of them had their arms crossed, expressions mock-annoyed.Roderick raised an eyebrow."We got here as fast as we could. And you're welcome, by the way."Yuki was already assessing the battlefield, her tactical mind working."Thirty Emperors. All regenerating. This is... this is bad."Roderick turned to Jabber, his voice becoming commanding."Jabber. You're on defense. Shield duty."His tone was firm, clear."Your job is to protect our blind spots. Watch for attacks we don't see coming. Keep us from getting flanked or ambushed."Jabber nodded immediately."Got it."His hands were already forming shields, ready to deploy at a moment's notice.Roderick raised his voice,

One became two. Two became four. Four became eight.All spinning around her in a deadly spiral.She came down like a meteor.All eight spears striking different points on the nearest Emperor Beast.SLASH. SLASH. SLASH. SLASH.The creature roared,a horrible, hollow sound.Its flame body split apart, dissolving.Mira didn't stop.Landed. Rolled. Came up running.Headed for the next one."”FLAME TECHNIQUE—PHOENIX SPIRAL DANCE!”"She spun, her spear becoming a blur of motion.Cut through the second Emperor's legs.It collapsed, flames sputtering.Third one lunged at her.She ducked under its massive claw."”FLAME TECHNIQUE—BLAZING LANCE THRUST!”"Her spear extended, ignited, became a pillar of fire.Punched clean through the creature's core.It dissolved.Fourth. Fifth. Sixth.She was moving like a whirlwind.Constant motion. Never stopping. Never slowing.Her spear cutting, thrusting, spinning.Each movement is precise. Deadly. Beautiful in its efficiency.Seventh. Eighth. Ninth.The Emp
Chapter 400:THE PURPLE SHIELD
Warrior 1 and his men stood completely frozen.Their eyes locked on the massive purple flame shield in front of them.Still trying to process what had just happened.Still trying to understand how they were alive.One of the warriors,a younger man with ash-stained armor,spoke up, his voice shaking."Where... where did this come from?"His eyes were wide, disbelieving."This shield. Who created it? Where did it…"Warrior 1's response came out stammered, confused."I... I have no idea."He was staring at the shield like it might disappear if he looked away."I've never seen a purple flame before. Never even heard of one."A voice came from behind them.Familiar. Young. Slightly out of breath."Sorry we arrived late. Hope you guys are okay."Jabber's voice.Warrior 1 and his men spun around.Their gazes fell on three figures standing there.Jabber. Mira and Asta.All three in their academy uniforms, weapons ready, expressions serious.Warrior 1's eyes went wide with recognition."It's yo
Chapter 399
Warrior 1's head snapped back toward the direction of the first attack.And he saw them.Two more massive spheres of fire.Coming from different angles this time.One from the southwest. One from the west.Both heading directly for the gate.His eyes went to the shield wielders.They were already trembling.The first impact had drained them. Weakened them.One of the warriors,a young man, maybe twenty-five,spoke up, his voice shaking."We can't take another hit!"His voice was desperate, afraid."That first one nearly broke through! Two more and the barrier will…"He didn't get to finish.The second flame ball hit.BOOM.The barrier cracked.Visible fractures spreading across its surface like breaking ice.The shield wielders screamed.Not from pain,but from effort.Trying desperately to hold it together.The third flame ball hit half a second later.BOOM.The barrier shattered.Just exploded into a thousand fragments of dissipating flame.The backlash launched the shield wielders ba
