518: Don't Let Them Get To The Temple

Don't Let Them Get To The Temple

"Stay away from my people!" A woman's incensed cry echoed in the air as a dark purple light struck the space in front of Blight, whose eyes widened, and he quickly jumped back to dodge it.0

When the dark purple light died down, Blight and the others were shocked to see a large, heavy hammer half dug into the spot where Blight was standing just a second ago.

The handle of the hammer was made of shiny metal and was three feet long, while the head of the hammer seemed similar to a sledgehammer but quite big and heavy. Despite being a blunt weapon, nobody had any doubt that if anybody got hit by such a weapon, their bones would be turned into paste.

Even the impact it made on the earth left a sizable crater, making Blight feel angry since he could have been badly hurt.

Viktor, Taya, and Umilia were also shocked, but even more so because they identified the woman who jumped down to stand beside Chief Tamo.

"Aelita?..." They were baffled, but Viktor was more stupefied upon noticing the dark purple light he had seen before. It made him remember something he had experienced recently.

Chief Tamo's face lit up seeing his daughter, but then it immediately turned into one of worry and anxiety since he didn't want her to get harmed.

"Aelita, get out of the way! Or you will suffer the same fate as the others," Yavet said with a menacing look.

"So she is your sister? Quite pretty to reach the top of my list, hehe. Now, this is a pleasant surprise that I never saw coming," Blight said with a sinister smile as his eyes became glued to her captivating figure.

"Forget it. She is mine. Her flesh would be quite useful to me," Hawk Demoness said with a chilling smile.

Yavet subtly frowned, but he didn't dare say anything. To get what he needed the most, he needed the help of these two champions, even if it meant turning a blind eye to some things.

"Aelita, leave this to us. Didn't I tell you to stay inside?" Chief Tamo asked in a low voice.

"How can I hide like a coward and let you all face my traitorous brother and the wicked friends he brought along? Our ancestors have always told us that being united is the only way to survive through any trials and tribulations that comes our way," Aelita said with unshakeable confidence, making Chief Tamo feel like he couldn't refute her.

"Pfft, you are just young and naive to think that our people can survive within this prison for long. We do not have to fear the mages once I become the Chief. Then we can leave this place once and for all and live however we like. Come to us, sister, or be doomed forever on this island," Yavet said with a hard gaze.

Aelita coldly snorted as she stepped forward and picked up her heavy hammer with just one hand and let it rest on her shoulder, "I am disappointed in you, brother. You have not only betrayed us, but you betrayed yourself by letting outsiders poison your mind with their words. Whatever promises they offered you are just lies to get you to do their bidding."

That heavy silver hammer surely weighed at least a few hundred kilos, and Viktor felt it a bit astonishing to see such a slender figure holding a hammer that looked so gigantic.

But now he was very interested in her, especially after seeing the secret art she had just used.

"You are just blinded by our archaic traditions and rules to open your eyes and realize our true potential. Just because father and the others consider you as the chosen one doesn't mean I will accept it. I am done trying to convince you and father. Now we will let our fists speak, and I will also be taking the Void Hammer that should have rightfully belonged to me," Yavet said as he eyed the heavy silver hammer before taking out two crescent-shaped knives that began to gleam with dark purple light.

Chief Tamo's wooden stick began to gleam with the same light as the ones behind him took out their weapons as well, prepared to fight.

"We will join if necessary. It wouldn't be so hard to take care of fifty people, right?" Hawk Demoness said with a certain glint in her eyes as Blight also nodded, "Right, right. Go ahead, Yavet. You will have our support when necessary."

"But…fine. It shouldn't be that hard," Yavet said as he saw the hundred vampires standing behind him, though what unsettled him was that these hundred vampires weren't true vampires but artificially transformed.

"My people…The day has come when we have to defend our land with our own lives. Don't let any one of these ingrates get near the temple!" Chief Tamo said in a loud, stern voice as he struck his wooden staff against the ground, creating a wave of dark purple light that rippled outward.

*Clennnnggg!*

Hawk Demoness and Blight quickly moved to the side while Yavet and fifty of his people moved their hands in the air to construct a sheet of dark purple light that blocked the powerful wave his father released, successfully blocking it.

"Aaargh!"

"Ungh!"

…

But Yavet clicked his tongue when he saw dozens of vampires being sent flying from his father's attack. Those who were standing at the front had their limbs destroyed. This made him realize that he had never seen his father's true strength before.

"The forbidden Void Arts…How fascinating yet an abominable power…" Hawk Demoness mumbled from up in the sky and then gestured at Blight to follow her.

Still, he knew he couldn't feel faltered by this and shouted at the top of his voice, "Charge!"

"Void arts? How…" Viktor mumbled as he looked at the exchange of dark purple attacks from both sides. This was the very same arts his past self knew, and seeing it in action stirred something inside him.

"Aelita, they are going to the temple! Stop them!" Chief Tamo cried out as he saw Hawk Demoness and Blight taking advantage of this fight to fly straight to the largest mountain on the island, where the temple of the Nameless Knight was located.

"How dare you!" Aelita was enraged as she spun her body and threw the heavy hammer into the air, aiming for Hawk Demoness, who was carrying Blight.
