"I will deal with you later if you can win against Mercer. If not, I don’t want to bother with a loser anyway." Verham said coldly.
Kamalon didn’t reply to him. His eyes were focused on Mercer. "Mercer, you shouldn’t have helped my brother plot against me. Today, you will pay for what you have done."
Mercer morphed into his bucentaur form again. The Dark Blood appeared in his hand instantly. "A greedy, worthless beast like you doesn’t deserve the throne of Primordial Golden Apes. Your brother is better suited for that. I didn’t plot against you. I helped him in whatever I felt was right."
"Dieeeeeee." Kamalon roared, enraged by Mercer’s words. He stomped his foot on the ground. A tsunami-like wave erupted and shot toward Mercer.
The five Celestial Soul realm cultivators instantly took Princess Lilith and Spade and then retreated far back. This wasn’t something they could withstand, much less fight.
The earth caved in, boulders shattered. Anything that came before the wave was destroyed instantly.
Mercer raised his hand and waved downward.
Instantly, the wave of pressure slowed down, its height reducing a bit as well.
"Hmmm." Kamalon sneered. "Gravity magic? You think you are Yami?" Kamalon raised his right leg high and stomped again. This time the stomp was so powerful that the ground beneath Kamalon cracked. Another wave of pressure shot forward. This time, it was more violent and rampant. The second wave struck the first wave, and both moved forward like a cluster.
Mercer still didn’t use the Dark Blood. Dark energy swirled around him. They condensed into multiple eerie spheres.
Mercer snapped his fingers. One of those eerie spheres shot forward and struck the wave.
Booooooooooom!
With a loud explosion, the wave was slowed down.
He snapped again. Two more spheres shot forward.
Boooom!
Booooom!
The wave was destroyed completely.
Mercer snapped again. The remaining spheres shot forward. There were five.
Kamalon’s expression darkened as he waved his hand.
Grhhhhhhhh!
The ground rumbled as four jagged spikes of earth erupted from the ground and struck those spheres.
Boooom!
Booom!
Boooom!
Boooom!
The impact was so powerful that shockwaves erupted.
The dragons hovering in the distance were pushed back.
The orcs standing in the front were sent flying and slammed into the orcs behind.
Spade was about to be thrown away, but Lilith caught him. But she too was sent flying by the force. One of the five Celestial Soul realm cultivators grabbed her and landed at a distance.
Smoke settled. Everyone gasped at the scene ahead. A huge crater had appeared. The radius was at least two hundred meters. Nothing remained within that area. And it was just collateral damage.
Mercer took the initiative this time. He raised his hand with the Dark Blood high. The scythe started spinning in his palm.
The air howled. The space distorted. Dark smoke started emitting from the spinning scythe.
And then...
Mercer hurled it forward.
The scythe shot forward like a shooting star. The air hissed.
Kamalon leaned forward. The gauntlets in his hands glowed brightly. The ground beneath his left foot cracked as he threw himself forward. He moved like a golden streak and appeared before the scythe.
Whoooooosh!
His right fist shot forward, thick air brushing against the gauntlet.
Clangggggggggg!
The golden ape was sent flying, but so was the scythe. The Dark Blood whistled through the air and stormed toward Mercer. Mercer grabbed it, but the moment the Dark Blood’s handle slammed in his palm, he felt his whole arm go numb. He tried to stop, but his feet left the ground, and he was flung through the air, too.
"Hahahahah." Verham burst into laughter. He was watching from a distance, hovering in the air. "Amusing. Entertain me more."
While Mercer and Kamalon were busy fighting, Merrick circled from a great distance, staying well outside the destructive radius of battle. He had brought multiple knights along.
Lilith and the knights with her noticed it a bit too late. When Lilith turned sharply, one of Merrick’s hands wrapped around her neck.
The knights tried to act, but all of them were pinned down by the people Merrick had brought.
"You bad uncle. Let her go." Spade was infuriated and lunged forward, only to be kicked away ruthlessly by Merrick.
"Get lost, kid. I don’t want to dirty my hands by killing a pest like you."
Spade tried to stand, but another knight from Merrick’s side walked over and slammed his leg on Spade’s head.
"Hahahahaha. That’s better." Merrick laughed.
"Merrick, you filthy scum. Let Spade go." Lilith tried to jerk herself free from Merrick’s grasp but failed. His hand only tightened around her neck, pulling her even closer. He sniffed her neck as he pressed his body against hers. "Don’t act so feisty, Lilith. Or I might lose control right here." He grinned shamelessly.
Lilith spat in disgust. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pull herself free.
Suddenly, Spade’s eyes turned bloodshot as he forcefully stood up. The knight pinning him down lost balance and fell to the ground.
"Let aunty go." Spade roared as his body began to morph. He too was turning into a bucentaur. But before he could finish, a sword pierced his chest. Spade’s pupils froze. A burly knight raised the sword, Spade’s body lifting along with it. Blood gushed out from his chest.
"Noooooooooooo," Lilith screamed, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Mercer noticed something wrong and snapped toward that direction. "S-Spade!" His voice shook. He tried to react, but Kamalon took advantage of that split second and punched Mercer’s head brutally.
He was sent flying like a ragdoll.
Spade, meanwhile, gritted his teeth and kicked the knight. His body was yanked free of the sword, blood spraying. Without caring about his wound, he shot toward Merrick again.
The burly knight stood up furiously and lunged at Spade.
"N-no." Lilith closed her eyes in despair.
The knight’s sword whistled through the air, ready to slice Spade’s throat.
But suddenly...
Clangggggggggggg!
The sword was tossed away. The knight skidded back as well.
A strong gust of wind billowed as a figure landed before Merrick and Lilith. Before Merrick could even react, the figure’s hand shot out, lightning crackling along his whole body.
Bammmmmm!
Blood sprayed as Merrick was sent flying.
Verham snapped toward the figure. Kamalon also turned his head sharply. Because that sudden surge of power just now was too overwhelming. It felt like a calamity, capable of swallowing them whole. But it disappeared instantly, just like it had appeared suddenly.
Spade looked at the figure in a daze. "U-uncle?"
Lilith also opened her eyes. "Logan!"
