Chapter 1061 - Below the Deity Wardens
Ashvril was in an intense battle, but Balende wasn’t in the mood to care for her well being because at this moment, he couldn’t even ensure his safety. He wielded the heavy sword in his hand, the crimson radiance glowing from his eyes under the helmet flickering all of a sudden. If he weren’t an undead without the ability to sweat, he would be drenched in panicky sweat by now!
As one of the four legendary generals, Balende had witnessed all sorts of mysterious and strange happenings. But now, he swore by his name that he had never seen such an odd battle style. It was especially so for this young lady in front of him, as he sensed an indescribable, massive pressure from her. Although she didn’t say a word, she hovered before him, leaning back slightly while a tome floated in front of her. At a single glance, she wasn’t any different from the deliberately mystifying spell casters. But Balende remembered clearly the disturbing scene from a few moments ago.
“Who are you?”
Balende asked in a deep voice, gazing at the young lady. He wasn’t surprised that Mini Bubble Gum and Canary showed up as almost everyone had heard of their big names before. It could also be said that in the Void Territory, they were seen as the top fighters under Rhode. However, he didn’t know who this young lady in front of him was and had never heard of her before. She hovered leisurely before him, separating him from Ashvril. Facing Balende’s imposing presence, she didn’t even bat an eyelid and this behavior puzzled him. Besides, he still recalled what Erin said about the three powerful beings in Grandia who were stronger than her… Could this young lady be one of them?
“Alice.”
Upon hearing Balende’s question, Alice responded plainly and didn’t go into details. Instead, she lifted her head without looking at him as though he were just a little, unworthy brat. This enraged Balende, but even so, he didn’t attack recklessly. He swept a glance to the surroundings. When this battle began, Angelina had already led away her subordinates who sought protection from her. Balende chose to be wise in his decisions as he knew that the Dark Dragon sent him and Ashvril over to give the Void Dragon a little warning. As the saying went, ‘a general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign’. No matter what, his purpose here was to besiege the traitors. Therefore, it would be enough as long as he captured the traitors and brought them back for punishment. Even if the Void Dragon was already aware and ready for their arrival, there was no meaning in dragging this battle any longer!
“Carry on with the mission; capture the traitors!”
At this thought, Balende gave a decisive order. He raised the huge sword in his hand, staring vigilantly at the young lady. Upon hearing his orders, the death knights surrounding him responded immediately, quickly dashing forward. Facing the intimidating death knights, Alice remained unfazed as she continued to float in midair, gazing down at the tome in her hands. But at this moment, something unprecedented happened before Balende.
“Ahhhhh!”
The instant the death knights were about to enter the forest, they came to a halt abruptly and let out ear-deafening screams that surprised Balende. He turned around quickly, only to witness an unimaginable scene.
