However Amera knew now she cracked their hearts. Only that stubborn leader and his small group of loyalists were all that remained between her and victory.
Killing them would secure victory for her, and she was right to think so.
However seeing their leader and their superior commanders getting butchered in front of their eyes made many angry.
So it wasn't a surprise for a few hundreds to start retaliating. Yet Amera didn't care at all. The portals were ready to meet those poor ones.
The attacks that came out of these portals made it clear that no matter what others felt, they couldn't change the outcome.
This was their defeat, and they had to accept such bitter facts without objection. Or else they would end up rotting in these lands a few days from now.
"Keep fighting!'' The leader was really something. In front of this terrifying monster he managed to last for ten whole minutes. He kept shouting and encouraging the fantasy army he thought he had, and in the end he fell to the ground while the monster issued the last roar of victory in this fight.
"This war... It's our win!" Amera couldn't believe herself while saying these words. That leader was really strong and she suddenly felt blessed and lucky not to directly fight him one on one.
If so then things wouldn't end up the way they did just now. Or perhaps this would be their victory but she wouldn't be alive to witness it.
"Go inside the portals now," Amera shouted as she knew this was still not over, "if you resisted then don't blame me for killing you."
The remaining lycans seemed truly shocked by the scene of their brave leader getting killed this way. Many watched how brazely that leader fought against such a terrifying monster.
And that puts some regret inside their souls, but nothing more.
No one was foolish enough to try and take that monster alone, or even in a group, or even in an army.
That monster was something no one here could stand a chance against.
"Roar!"
The monster roared and that was enough to jolt everyone awake. Their bodies involuntarily trembled before they dragged their legs to enter the portals.
Amera stood beside Arthur who was standing there motionless. His body was shining for a long time already and seemed to be united with the tower itself.
"I never thought we could do it," she slowly muttered, "or you can do it..."
She had conflicted emotions right now inside herself. She knew better than anyone else that today's victory wouldn't come if not for Arthur.
An entire mighty clan trapped inside their homeland couldn't do a thing, and one outsider who came from a lowly world did all the difference.
She was inwardly shocked, but also grateful and happy of such a result.
"My decision wasn't wrong," she felt warm tears running down her cheeks. She hurriedly wiped them out before Doaf came from far towards her.
"Did we...?" he paused and gave her a deep glance.
"What do you see?" she smiled before pointing towards Arthur, "all thanks to your young master."
Doaf glanced at the bright body of Arthur before sighing. "I don't know how my grandmaster found such a monster in a lower realm, but I'm glad he did."
"Me too," Amera nodded and the two started to supervise over the last step in their victory. They ordered the remaining forces to seal the area and start to rest.
And she didn't forget to write back to her grandmaster, telling her the great news of this victory.
As for what actually happened, it was a mere stroke of luck for all these events to coincide together at the perfect timing.
When Amera was already losing all hope, Gege had experienced a marvellous opportunity.
The tower provided a pure form of high power, yet what she didn't count for was the fact that she already had a large amount of the golden power from her dealing with Arthur.
She even used the golden energy countless times when Arthur used his technique. She got many benefits from this, and this one topped them all.
The moment her soul got in touch with the tower energy, an interaction occured. It was like two complementing forms of energies met together, led into a reaction that gave birth to a superior form of energy.
That was what exactly happened to Gege's soul. Her soul got a huge boost that she never expected, and in the middle of this she got an ascension.
That gave birth for that bright silver white pulse of light and energy. To those watching from outside, they mistook this all happening from the tower.
However the true source of such a phenomenon came from Arthur's body himself. As he was standing a few inches away from the tower, people mistook this as if it came from the tower and not from Arthur.
The first and most valuable thing that Gege gained from this was the ability she once lost... to summon as many portals as she wanted.
In addition to that the ability itself got upgraded. She could now summon portals on a much widers scale than before. And the number increased exponentially as well.
The first thing she did after getting such a fortuitous encounter was to scan the surroundings. The first thing she noticed was how bad the situation was.
So she didn't hesitate to deliver a message to Amera. Amera seemed stupefied for a moment before she started acting weird.
Gege asked her to stall for time and make them come at her in large numbers. Gege didn't want to spoil the new weapon Arthur had before she arranged everything.
So as Amera started to annoy the lycans, Gege started to connect with the monster. She only said one thing, Arthur was about to lose and die and with it she also would die.
However the monster was far stubborn than what Gege initially thought!
