Valkyrie found herself surrounded by long, thick vines ablaze with fiery energy, all converging on her position on the ground, just a short distance away from Thornbark. With every ounce of his strength, Thornbark focused on a single strike, determined to eliminate Valkyrie once and for all.The vines intertwined and merged into a colossal hand, forming a massive appendage that extended from Thornbark's octopus-like limb, all aimed directly at Valkyrie. Despite her remarkable agility and nimbleness, she attempted to evade the onslaught of attacks, but it became increasingly apparent that she was unable to escape the grip of the vine hand.Performing a graceful backflip, Valkyrie wielded her Chilled Ghost sword, attempting to sever the relentless vines. However, to her dismay, with each cut she made, the vines seemed to regenerate. Finally, Thornbark utilized the vine hand to ensnare Valkyrie entirely, lifting her off the ground using the tendrils. "Aaaaah!" A horrifying scream escape
Immediately, Valkyrie tightened her grip on her Blade and spun through the air, closing in on Thornbark with incredible speed. She had gained the upper hand, swiftly cutting through the vines that threatened to encroach upon her. Her movements were so swift that they blurred, making her appear like a phantom in the frozen environment. Thornbark's every action seemed sluggish in comparison, hindered by Valkyrie's dominating presence."I would say you're in my domain, but that would imply I'm merely a demigod," Valkyrie chuckled, observing how Thornbark stood no chance against her now.The fact that Valkyrie, a Sanctifier, possessed an elemental ability typically reserved for Holy Druids, shocked the onlookers. The once-expected defeat of the mighty Valkyrie had now turned the tables on Thornbark, placing them in a precarious position."Thornbark, it appears you underestimated me," Valkyrie asserted, with confidence. "The almighty Valkyrie, whom everyone believed would be defeated, no
"Don't worry, darling. I'll go easy on you for now, but later we can unleash our naughtiness," Valkyrie playfully teased, blowing a kiss to Talon from a distance.Talon, unaware of the implications behind his words, responded confidently, "No need to hold back. I prefer my battles to be strong and fierce."The crowd reacted with surprise, their collective gasp echoing through the arena. However, no one was more infuriated by Talon's reply than Gwen."Argh! Does he truly understand what he's saying?" Gwen muttered under her breath, crossing her legs as she turned her attention towards the audience."Well, since you insist, I'll give you the intensity you desire," Valkyrie declared, her hands still wrapped in her blade-like moves. With effortless speed, she darted towards Talon, her movements becoming a blur."It seems you're quite strong. I adore men with strength, so I hope you can meet my standards," Valkyrie commented, her motions becoming even more rapid as she closed in on Talon.
The frozen ice block hurtled towards her, leaving her astonished at Talon's ability to control it with such precision. As a Heavenly Artificer, she had doubted his capability in this icy environment, expecting his momentum to be hindered.Reacting swiftly, she raised her hands to block the incoming ice block. With a swift motion of her elbow, she deflected the block, causing it to shatter into countless pieces. However, there was no time to rest, as Talon had already conjured four more ice blocks in the air. He showed no signs of slowing down or taking a break. Valkyrie marveled to herself, "How does he manage to do it?" She couldn't contain her surprise at Talon's extraordinary abilities.Meanwhile, Gwen found herself lost in deep thought. She whispered to herself, "I'm starting to believe what Nate told me. How is he able to execute his kicks with such ease? Does he truly possess the Six Professions?" Her brother had described Talon as an extraordinary Divine Sentinel. At first,
Valkyrie retracted her gauntlet, securing it back onto her enormous sword. Talon, wielding his dual swords, chuckled confidently at Valkyrie's choice of weapon."What do you take me for? A sluggish fool who can't counter your slow movements? You must be joking if you think that sword can stand up to me," Talon declared, his voice brimming with certainty as he maintained his poised stance."Now, you'll learn who the sluggish one truly is," Valkyrie retorted, determination etched across her face. She blurred into a blur of motion, vanishing from sight for a split second. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, she materialized right in front of Talon, her intent clear. This time, there would be no playful fighting.With a swift and powerful swing, Valkyrie aimed to sever Talon's neck. However, Talon swiftly spun both of his swords, meeting her strike with a precise parry.*Kaaaay!*Talon felt the tremendous force emanating from Valkyrie's sword, pushing him back slightly. Despite the impact, h
They were both exited the Martial Center's fighting arena, their footsteps echoing in the corridor. A few minutes later, they arrived at the main exit, ready to enter their car and drive away. However, their plans abruptly shifted when a group of masked individuals landed in front of them, surrounding Talon and Gwen.[Level A-Class Rankers Detected!][New Quest- fight and defeat all the Six Black mashed men][Save Gwen from being harmed] Gwen's eyes widened in surprise, mirroring Talon's bewildered expression. "Who are you guys?" Talon demanded, turning around to face the masked intruders whose identities were concealed.One of the masked men stepped forward, his voice laced with an air of authority. "Leave Princess Gwen alone, and we promise you won't be harmed." He advanced toward Talon and Gwen, his companions forming a tight circle around them.Talon instinctively placed a protective hand on Gwen's shoulder, ushering her slightly backward. He positioned himself at the forefront,
Talon and Gwen were taken aback when they found themselves surrounded by demons instead of facing humans as they had expected.The leader, who had removed his mask, stared directly at Talon. Gwen watched in horror as they both realized they needed to fight back. While they had heard stories about demons, they had never actually seen one before."Why do you want us?" Talon asked, leaping into action and raising both swords in mid-air, preparing to strike. As Talon's sword descended, he stood firm without shifting his stance. The blade landed on the anchor embedded in the leader's face, causing it to emit a bright, dark hue. Suddenly, a dark aura spread through the area as Talon swiftly retreated, landing against the trunk of a nearby tree.He couldn't reach the man due to the impenetrable barrier surrounding his target."Oh! I forgot to mention something..." The man pointed at his head, a sly grin on his face. "You see, taking me down won't be so simple. You'll be wasting your time at
"Do you truly believe that you can bring me down with that mere beast of yours? Oh, how amusing!" The man scoffed as he delivered a forceful punch, causing Talon to crumble to the ground. In that moment, he was propelled upward, suspended in midair as a colossal dragon approached, its jaws gaping wide, ready to consume him.*Screeech!*"I, Danta, hereby summon the unrivaled beast from the Netherworld. I beckon your presence forth.""From realms unseen and shadows deep,I summon forth a creature steepedIn power ancient, fierce, and wild,A force that cannot be defiled.By the name of Danta, I do decree,Bring forth the beast that dwells with thee.Unleash its might, let darkness reign,"With every step, let chaos and fear remain," Danta's voice resonated with commanding authority as he began his incantation. As the jaws of the beast lunged forward, eager to devour Danta, an invisible force repelled it with such incredible power that it was sent hurtling backward. The gigantic dragon
