At present, seeing that the maiden could potentially locate the Ancient Battlefield, Benjamin's anxiety began to dissipate. The Connor family, for all their prominence, didn't truly know its location. All he had were inklings from their speculations. With the sudden emergence of the demon clan, Benjamin felt a pressing urgency. Hence, he considered entering the Ancient Battlefield, hoping to break through his current limits. Perhaps even gathering resources to nurture more experts. Only then could he ensure the safety of those around him. “Indeed, time is of the essence. I believe we should hasten our quest for the Ancient Battlefield. Lest the demon clan approaches, with only your present strength, self-preservation remains dubious.” Hearing the maiden's urgency, a frown creased Benjamin's brow. Yet, after a brief contemplation, he found her words sensible and nodded in agreement. “Very well, please wait for a moment. I shall make preparations, and then we can head to the Ancient B
Hearing the name of the creature assailing their convoy, Sophie felt a chill run down her spine. Yet, in front of her subordinates, she remained calm and composed: "Continue onward. If we cannot vanquish it directly, find ways to repel it. We are nearing the Ancient Battlefield, there's no turning back!”Hearing her command, the man hesitated briefly before nodding in acknowledgment: "Yes, Miss.” And with that, he hurriedly departed. Sophie turned her gaze towards Benjamin, her face revealing traces of regret: "I sincerely apologize. Our oversight has disrupted your meditation.”Benjamin shook his head with a gentle smile: "It's alright. After all, I rely on your ship to reach this destination. A slight interruption in my practice isn't a huge concern.” He then retreated to his chamber, not mentioning the recent commotion on deck.However, the less Benjamin alluded to it, the more awkward Sophie felt. Yet, her immediate concern was the maritime monster's attack. She had to return to h
"It's coming!"From the deep abyss, a mammoth shadow began to emerge, its grandeur dwarfing their ship which now appeared as nothing more than a child's plaything. The enormous creature lifted the vessel high into the air, almost a hundred meters off the water's surface."We're doomed!"This singular thought resonated within every soul on board.With a deafening roar, a colossal tail whipped out from the depths, smashing the ship to smithereens. Even the fearless Uncle Leon couldn't suppress a cry: "God of War, please protect the young miss!"Silence reigned, and calm slowly returned to the once turbulent sea. Only Benjamin and Sophie remained, wide-eyed and stupefied, witnessing the aftermath."What on earth was that?" Sophie's voice quivered."How would I know?" replied Benjamin, his voice noticeably weak.Had he not acted swiftly, pulling Sophie into the air, both would've undoubtedly shared the fate of the sailors."What do we do now?" After an unknown span of time, Sophie finally
"Benjamin! Benjamin! Where are you? Are you alright?"Just then, Sophie's voice pierced through the fog, reaching his ears. His face momentarily registered shock, then with a fleeting glance, he found himself surrounded by a dense mist, rendering directions indiscernible."What on earth happened?"For the first time, the gravity of the situation dawned upon Benjamin. Enveloped in fog, he couldn't see anything beyond a few meters."Senior, senior! Are you there?"The heavy ambiance weighed him down. Desperate, he yelled out, hoping for a response. But silence reigned, leaving Benjamin no choice but to proceed in search of a way out.Whizz!Just as he covered a few hundred meters, a sharp sound grazed his ear. Almost immediately, an arrow hurtled toward him. Drawing upon his swiftness, he deflected the projectile. But as soon as one threat was averted, a barrage of arrows filled the air.Whizz!Whizz!Whizz!From all directions, arrows zoomed towards him.Witnessing the onslaught, Benja
"Argh!"The adversary's agonizing scream tore through the silence as Benjamin zipped forward, aiming a powerful punch at the brute's chest.Crunch!The giant's sternum gave way to Benjamin's might. The towering frame was sent hurtling, crashing into a tree a good nine or ten meters away.This spectacle made all eyes of the unfamiliar crowd fixate on Benjamin. Yet, a voice from their leader soon thundered."Human, you shouldn't be here. This is sacred land, not meant for the likes of your feeble kind!"As he spoke, his body radiated an eerie green glow. Immediately following, a stream of light emerged, rushing towards the once downed giant.To Benjamin's astonishment, the behemoth stirred and effortlessly rose, eyes brimming with wild intent, fixated on him. Not a scar or blemish remained, his wrist as intact as if nothing had ever transpired."How can this be?!"For a moment, Benjamin's eyes widened in disbelief, his features contorted in sheer bewilderment."Fool, don't engage these
Benjamin, of course, remained oblivious to the sorcerer's machinations. As the distance to the altar rapidly decreased, a growing tension pervaded his heart.Then, as he was a mere few meters from the altar, a formidable roar erupted from within it."Roar!"Hearing this, terror was evident in Alan's eyes. The bird swiftly descended. Even Benjamin, who ordinarily could command the creature through their bond, found himself powerless. His own psyche was tinged with panic."What manner of beast emits such a terrifying roar?"As he pondered this, a burst of light emanated from the altar. Taken aback, Benjamin's eyes widened in horror."What in the heavens?!"Slowly emerging from the altar was a gargantuan figure, a bizarre fusion of human and serpent, boasting a pair of skeletal wings. Recognition flashed across Benjamin's face.For he was all too familiar with this monster. Its terrifying visage towered over ten meters high, its serpentine tail extending another ten or twenty meters. Its
The sound of the wind tearing past alerted Benjamin, his eyes widening in disbelief. He had not imagined the Raccoon to be adept in using such weaponry, and such a colossal log at that!Yet, time was not on Benjamin's side. As the massive trunk approached, he dodged with alacrity.Crash!But even as Benjamin evaded the Raccoon's blow and struggled to regain his stance, the Raccoon, with lightning agility, leaped forth, closing the distance in a mere few bounds.Thud!The Raccoon's gargantuan fist slammed the earth, sending Benjamin spiraling away, tumbling across the ground.Yet, an overwhelming force, akin to a tornado, then engulfed him, giving him the sensation of being swept away. Reacting instantly, Benjamin raised his arms in defense.Boom!The impact caused the ground beneath him to sink, his arms numbing with pain, the bones seemingly shattered.Benjamin's heart raced with fear. Without wasting a moment, he tried to leap to his feet.However, this Raccoon, in terms of reaction
Although not paralyzed by fear, Benjamin had no intentions of lingering. The saintly maiden's spirit had hinted that the peripheries of the Ancient Battlefield held no treasures. Only by venturing to its heart could one procure valuable artifacts. Judging by his current location, surrounded by these skeletons, he was still on the outskirts.Hence, after a brief pause, Benjamin decided to head towards the center of the Ancient Battlefield.Yet, unbeknownst to him, as he left, the skeletons began to animate, standing up, their gaze following his departing figure. And atop each, the blood-red flowers swayed eerily in the wind.Benjamin's path had been anything but smooth. Just moments after he was mysteriously teleported and found himself on this strange terrain, he'd journeyed several kilometers forward. Yet, there, dauntingly stretching out in front of him, was a vast river. Its waters ran fiercely, suggesting that crossing it would not be a task for the faint-hearted."What am I to do
