Chapter 290: The Emergence of Cardinal

Sabrina looked at Izola like she was facing a dangerous enemy and said with a creepy tone, “Are you going to give up resisting or do you want me to make you give up?”

“Sabrina! What an evil plan!” Izola clenched her teeth and shouted, “I never thought you would sacrifice your daughter and the entire Mystic Valley to deal with me!”

At that point, Izola finally “understood” that she had always underestimated her opponent’s sinister and vicious means!

Sabrina’s face was even gloomier. Since it had reached this point, it could no longer be explained and discussed. She must take down her opponent first!

After Izola knew the “truth”, she obviously refused to admit defeat. If I really fall into her hands, even if I eventually meet Azgalor, I’ll probably only have half my life left. She might even use some means to make me admit that I did all those things. Therefore, I cannot let Sabrina succeed!

“Mom, be sure to avenge me!” Fatilu screamed exasperatedly to worsen the situation.

“Fatilu, leave with master first!” Sabrina’s body was covered with blue mist, blocking the space between Izola and herself, lest Izola holds Fatilu or Chen Rui as hostage.

“Understood. Madam, please rest assured. I’ll definitely protect Ms. Fatilu. Lafar!”

Chen Rui righteously ordered the mad beast to protect the both of them. Then, he used the puppet’s heart to command the crystal men to attack Izola and others before he left quickly.

Izola regretted the previous decision of letting Fatilu go. She indeed had the thought of holding Fatilu as hostage, but Sabrina saw it through unfortunately. However, even though Sabrina’s strength was better than hers, judging from the information provided by Fatilu’s assassination and the spies at the Blue House, Sabrina was badly injured. She used up a lot of strength from the battle with a Demon Emperor level demonic beast. Therefore, Izola should be able to last until the crystal dragon, Jacob, wakes up.

I believe with such a huge incident, Jacob wouldn’t sit still. Besides, Azgalor is already secretly returning to the Crystal Valley. Sabrina doesn’t even know this piece of information. As long as I can hold up until he returns, the truth will definitely be revealed. This insidious woman will finally be crushed entirely!

Chen Rui led Fatilu all the way out of the Mystic Valley and quickly came to the Nightmare Valley. Then, he saw Freya standing at the door worriedly. The noises from the Mystic Valley scared her just now, and she was worried about Chen Rui’s safety. Then, she saw Chen Rui running over with Fatilu and a scary monster.

Fatilu had tortured Freya many times, so Freya bowed at her with fear. Chen Rui couldn’t care so much and said, “Freya, immediately follow Fatilu to leave the Crystal Valley and wait for me at the Bloody Vine City. If you want to see Kia and remove the [Soul Shackles] on both of you, do as I said and don’t ask why!”

His last sentence made Freya’s eyes lit up. She nodded.

As the mad beast was too conspicuous, Chen Rui didn’t let it leave with the two women. He entered the lab for a while and then came out. He made Lafar guard the entrance of the hillside where the lab was located, prohibiting anyone from entering while he walked out of the Nightmare Valley.

At that time, the battle between Sabrina and Izola had inevitably started. Izola’s men were besieged and killed by the crystal men commanded by Chen Rui before he left. She was furious seeing that. However, the most important thing now was to deal with Sabrina, her strongest enemy.

Izola was a Mammon Royal Family. The muscular man next to her was her strongest subordinate, Dotun, a Samuel Royal Family. Both of them were at the peak of Great Demon King. In terms of strength, they had both reached Demon Emperor, but they hadn’t realized the power of territory.

Sabrina’s injuries hadn’t healed, so she couldn’t defeat them at once.

The battle between the three was very fierce. There were traces of terror and destruction along the way, and many innocent people were involved and killed. It was chaotic everywhere. No one dared to come close. Those remaining buildings in the Mystic Valley that survived from the explosion were also destroyed.

Sabrina wanted to kill Dotun and capture Izola, but Izola saw through her plan, so Dotun and her were doing a hit-and-run tactic. Sabrina definitely wouldn’t let that happen. Therefore, she couldn’t bother her injuries and fully activated her territory. She divided into four figures and surrounded the two in a large area of blue mist. The blue mist spread and lowered the temperature at the Mystic Valley to an extremely low level.

Sabrina’s [Blue Charm territory] was based on her [Water Mastery] talent. Dotun was a Samuel Royal Family, and he had [Fire Mastery]. The two elements were mutually restraining. Although Dotun’s strength wasn’t as good as Sabrina, his fire element still weakened the water element significantly.

Certainly, Dotun was more restrained under this water type territory. The damage he suffered was doubled.

Fortunately, Izola’s [Dark Mastery] talent of the Mammon Royal Family played a great role. There was a high-grade magic called [Nightmare Enchantment] in black magic, which could form a protective and lethal area. As a mage, Izola was naturally good at it. Although it couldn’t be compared to territory, it could still relieve Dotun’s pressure to a certain extent.

However, even when the both of them cooperated with their contradicting elements, they were still firmly suppressed by the wounded Sabrina as they gradually lost the ability to resist Sabrina. This was the power of territory. Even if their strength was about the same, the presence of territory made a huge difference.

Dotun knew that Sabrina was still holding back on Izola, but he definitely spared no mercy to kill him. Seeing Izola’s range of [Nightmare Enchantment] was getting increasingly smaller and weaker, it could no longer resist the countless blades in the blue mist. Therefore, he made up his mind and made an all-out decision.

At the moment when the [Nightmare Enchantment] was about to collapse, the magic that Dotun had been preparing launched. Several huge fire pillars that filled with intense heat appeared around him, and the icy power of the Blue Mist Territory was immediately weakened a lot. Yet, fire pillars soon began to shrink and extinguish. Dotun never expected the fire pillars to break the territory. He made use of the firelight to determine Sabrina’s location. He shouted loudly and spat blood to activate his talent – [Bloodfury]. His attack power increased tremendously. Then, he leapt and charged toward Sabrina. Izola was shocked when she saw him attacking. She immediately pointed with her fingers and several spears covered with black smoke shot toward Sabrina from all directions to cover Dotun.

Sabrina waved her hands, then the thousands of blades in the [Blue Charm Territory]suddenly turned into countless shields to cancel off the power of spears. At that time, Dotun had approached Sabrina and punched toward Sabrina with his fist covered in flame. Sabrina punched to defend, but she actually took two steps backward. Her face was hit, and the blue mist around her was mostly evaporated by that punch.

Sabrina frowned. The purity of that flame was amazing. It definitely wasn’t merely fire magic or his [Bloodfury] talent but the power from burning his life. It seems that this guy can tell that I’m determined to kill him, so he wants to fight desperately.

Dotun wanted to risk his life, but Sabrina surely wouldn’t do the same. So, she was just doing hit-and-run to consume his vitality. As Sabrina and Dotun were in close combat, Izola was unable to perform magic to assist at once. However, she knew that the [Blue Charm Territory] was closely related to Sabrina herself. Therefore, she immediately cast dark magic with all her strength to constantly weaken the territory’s water element power.

Sabrina felt Izola’s movement, then she frowned. If it was a real territory, it was connected with the natural forces in the surrounding. Then, Izola’s move would be in vain. Yet, Sabrina was currently casting the Demon Emperor’s pseudo-territory that mainly relied on her own water element power. Thus, there was still considerable impact. She immediately had the thought of ending the battle quickly.

Dotun took advantage of Sabrina’s distraction and hit her abdomen hard with his fist covered in flame. However, the result was unexpected. Sabrina’s body shattered. At the same time, Dotun felt a chill on his chest. Suddenly, a cold, translucent blade had pierced through him. After turning back, it turned out that Sabrina’s figure had already appeared on his back. What was broken just now was just an ice sculpture.

Dotun responded very quickly and held the blade on his chest. As he shouted, the blood from his hand started burning and the ice blade was actually torn half. He immediately turned around and stabbed the broken blade into Sabrina’s towering breasts. Unfortunately, it was still an ice sculpture that shattered again.

Dotun’s full blow actually missed. Feeling that his vitality was disappearing quickly, he spat his last mouthful of blood and activated [Bloodfury] again. His body quickly swelled and then burst. That was a mutual destruction move that Dotun developed based on his talent – [Blood Explosion]!

The burst flesh was covered in flames, splashing within the blue territory. Sabrina’s painful cries could even be heard. She didn’t expect Dotun to have such a self-destructing move, and the damage was extremely shocking. As she didn’t have time to defend, her real body hidden in the territory was severely damaged. The frightened Izola drew with her fingers quickly with blood. Then, a huge blood-red scythe appeared out of thin air and flew toward the source of the cry. When the scythe was close to the source, it suddenly turned into countless sharp qi that enveloped a figure. That horrifying power seemed to be even slicing the space. That was somewhat like Chen Rui’s AoE [Destructive Aura Blow]. Although the area wasn’t as big, it was more lethal.

The strongest single-target dark magic attack – [Dark Blood Scythe]!

That cry sounded even more pitiful. However, almost at the same time, a ghostly figure appeared behind Izola. Before she could react, a heavy blow had already hit her neck. Izola was a mage, so close combat was her weakness. She immediately fainted to the ground.

The blue mist gradually dissipated, revealing Sabrina’s figure. Her white dress was almost entirely stained by her blood. There were countless wounds on her body. Izola’s [Dark Blood Scythe] was still fine, but Dotun’s desperate [Blood Explosion] was a big deal that made her suffer a lot. Together with injuries from the fight with the manticore yesterday, she only had less than half of her strength left now. Certainly, if she wasn’t holding back on Izola and wanted to capture Izola alive, she could kill both of them directly without much effort.

Although she paid a heavy price, she still won eventually. Sabrina, who lost her veil in the battle, smiled proudly. This time, Sabrina had full confidence to completely step Izola under her foot and made Izola never be able to fight with her again.

At that moment, Fatilu staggered over from afar, “Mom!”

Sabrina was taken aback. Didn’t she leave under the protection of Arthur and the mad beast?

“The master is dead!” Fatilu’s first sentence shocked Sabrina. “Master Arthur” is greatly valued by both the crystal dragon and Manu. Especially the crystal dragon, who has publicly expressed his protection over “Arthur” more than once. If he is dead due to the fight between Izola and I, the consequences are unimaginable!

At that moment, Sabrina suddenly had a sense of crisis in her heart. That sense of crisis was trained from countless battles. It had saved her life more than once. Without any hesitation, Sabrina leapt and flashed backward. However, she was still a little slow as a blood wound appeared on her abdomen. It didn’t feel very painful at that time, but a lot of blood flowed out. It seemed the wound was very deep.

Sabrina didn’t look at the wound. White gas came out of her body and her blood was stopped by the freezing power of the water element in time. Her eyes were set on Fatilu’s only right palm which was glowing faintly.

Although Fatilu’s strength was only displayed as the peak of Demon King, Sabrina didn’t dare to underestimate that palm. If she hadn’t responded in time just now, she would have been cut into two by that sharp power!

“You’re not Fatilu. Who are you?!”

Fatilu’s face and figure were distorted bizarrely, turning into a stranger with intact hands. He was wearing leather armor and had black hair and eyes, yellow-skinned. He wasn’t very tall, but his blade-like eyes made it easy for others to ignore his ordinary features.

Black hair and black eyes? Lust Royal Family? Sabrina was secretly surprised. When did such a person get into the Crystal Valley? No! He also transformed into Fatilu’s look. He even purposely showed the characteristic of a broken arm. Could it be…

Her opponent didn’t give her time to think. He leapt and rushed toward her. His palm was like a blade, striking from a distance. Although the blade was still far away, the sharp qi was even stronger than striking directly.

Sabrina almost suffered a huge damage previously, so she didn’t dare to be careless. An ice shield appeared instantly, blocking the qi in mid-air. She shouted and punched from a distance as well. That man didn’t dare to defend directly and avoided. The punch that missed immediately froze the ground.

Sabrina saw the crack on the ice shield and secretly thought: This opponent’s strength is definitely not the Demon King-level on the surface, but he hasn’t reached the level of Demon Emperor as well. He should be at the level of Great Demon King. Yet, that palm blade “talent” is truly amazing. Even a Demon Emperor like me can’t take it directly.

However, having said that, a Great Demon King actually dares to sneak attack a Demon Emperor like me?! Also, he even dares to attack again after failing!

Sabrina’s eyes were full of killing intention. Suddenly, she felt a dangerous breath coming from her opponent. There was a disturbing heat in the air. “Whoosh!” A black flame ignited on the man.

“Power of Nirvana?” Sabrina was well-informed after lurking in the Dark Shadow Empire for many years. She immediately felt the attribute of that flame.

This enemy is indeed an Asmodeus Royal Family!

If Chen Rui wasn’t confident in defeating Sabrina, he wouldn’t show up at all…
