"What is happening?" Fiona, who was far away, looked at the scene in front of her, where there were no more allies, only enemies.
"Has it already begun?" Fiona's eyes widened as she remembered something that Gale told her.
A couple of weeks earlier, Gale told her about who the culprit might be and who was the traitor. That time, Fiona asked to kill this traitor, but Gale strongly objected.
Gale said he didn't want to alert the mastermind by killing her best pawn, and something had already happened that might make the mastermind think of retreating.
The girls became curious about what that was, and Gale truthfully told them everything.
When Gale came near Bac to find information, as usual, he found that he had completed one of his plans. That was to mix Nimona's honey with the food and especially the water.
To let everyone drink and eat only his food, he had started a campaign earlier of giving food and water, which could replenish spiritual energy with the help of honey.
In such dire times, Bac was able to profit and accomplish his plan with it. So, now everyone who consumed Bac's item would be under Nimona's control, and taking it for this long would have a much greater effect.
"Glad, Gale warned us against consuming anything in the war camp." Fiona stood up from her seat while looking at the giant water barrel just a few meters away from her.
Then, without looking back, she swiped her hand, which got covered with her spiritual energy, transforming into a sharp blade.
Puchi
Severing a man's head, Fiona took flight and flew up. Floating in the sky, she looked at the spot where she was sitting and saw it had been swarmed by mindless soldiers and second generations.
Then she raised her head up and saw most of the older generation Golden Core Realm cultivators, which were elders, and the two ancestors were fine as they fought to let this horde get close to the wall.
"I guess I should defend too and not let this get too close." Fiona pointed her palm down, and before her, a small white ball conjured that shot down.
Boom
In a split second, the white ball made contact with the ground, causing a giant dome-like explosion.
This was a technique Fiona made with inspiration. She took [ Angelic Hymn - Heavenly Blade - Chaotic Child Form ] as the core and was able to make a potent destructive ball, from which spiritual energy would spill out and only revolve within.
Then she quickly went forward to kill as much as possible.
...
The southeast side of Highload Town, where the main battle was taking place.
Everyone was also dumbfounded by the sudden change. Vik and others watched as the soldiers they were defending this entire time were now trying to kill them.
"How did this happen?" Vik said this while slaying a massive Nascent Soul Realm flying beast.
Julie just looked down with her face darkened, as she also knew why this was happening. She had asked Gale if they could somehow fix this. The only response she got from him was to have a strong mental power to resist it, and the other was to kill the mastermind to set everyone free.
She felt heartbroken, knowing she couldn't solve this because no one had strong mental power like some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and they didn't even know where the mastermind was hiding.
"We should go all out." Julie's face turned stern as she unleashed all of the power within her.
Vik gave a small glance and nodded. "Let's do this."
However, before he was about to go on a rampage, he asked Roy, who was watching everything silently with dark lines all over his face. "Elder Roy, what about you?"
Roy calmly said with indifference. "I guess I will show the culprit behind this what true strength is."
Vik, Julie, and many others were surprised when they heard that, as they had never seen Roy like this, and from the time he arrived here until now, he still hasn't made a move.
'Looks like someone touched his nerve.' Vik could see Roy was very angry.
Roy spread his spiritual pressure, which made the air vibrate slightly. He pressed his palm down and said. " [ Forest's Breath - Dancing Roots ] "
Nothing happened after Roy finished saying that, but the next moment, they saw something seem to burst out of the ground. Three meters thick tree roots sprung out of the ground, which tangled the enemies, then took them in the ground or squeezed them to death; some even ripped apart the body while others pierced through the enemies' bodies.
These tree roots weren't just ten or so; they were hundreds!
Roy all alone cleaned an entire section of the horde, and from his nonchalant face and how the tree roots were dancing, it seemed he still has more left in him.
Vik smiled at himself. 'So this is his strength. He looks like a beast in group fights but doesn't know his combat prowess in one on one. Still, it would be enough to take down anyone here.'
Everyone else was also surprised by Roy's power, they didn't expect the guy who always had an innocent smile would be capable of doing something like this.
Grelia watched with nervousness and sadness. Nervousness because she doubted Roy and was glad that she didn't do anything stupid. Sadness because she knew this was nothing compared to the power their clan possessed in their heydays.
'If only we were strong enough to believe in ourselves.' After sulking a little, Grelia joined in to help.
The other ancestors and elders dashed forward to kill anyone who would be charging toward the walls.
Brustiar and Galibar went into frenzied mode as anger was seething inside their eyes. They have lost so many of their men and young ones just in a matter of seconds, as the leader of their respectable clan and family, how could they let this happen?
Not only them, but Julie also went all out, as she was also very mad at losing so many of their clanmates. She didn't get angry at Gale, as he couldn't do anything about it and it had already been too late.
Razing a sea of IceFire at her enemies, Julie vowed silently. 'I won't spare you, you bastardly woman!'
