The shield was pulsating with power. The crystal was gone, and the life force of Yanin was no longer. Everyone who was still fighting on the battlefield had no idea that one of the pillars had been defeated and not only defeated but was used as an ingredient when creating a weapon.
However, there was one of the small circle objects that was still observing everything, that had witnessed everything. Bubble was in the safety of his own tower, covered in sweat.
'This whole situation, it's unexplainable to the people of Pagna. One of the pillars of the Demonic Faction turned into a weapon. People will never believe this… and what about the weapon itself? If a life force like Yanin was used in it, just how strong will it be?'
Looking at the shield itself and approaching it, Raze had a large smile on his face. He had used some of his final bits of magic to reveal what effects and state the shield was in, and he could safely say the whole thing was a success.
'This is a much better result,' Raze thought. 'I could have extracted the energy of Yanin and added it to my own, but I know that a small percentage of power from warriors is actually absorbed into my dantian.
'It takes a lot to increase each of the stages. Not only that, but great enchanted items can be a sure way to win a fight.'
Raze was thinking about the Lux Sword along with the blazer. These two items alone had increased his power several-fold, and there was one more reason for creating powerful items.
'Items can be handed to anyone to increase one's power. It can fill the gap and the difference between people's strength. With this, if I give it to those I can trust, then only more power will grow.'
Grabbing onto the shield, Raze could feel in that moment he was quite weak. He had been fighting a tough fight, had used the Qi pills and expanded next to all of his mana.
"This shield, is it for… the Crimson Crane?" Rayna asked.
"Yes, you remember the man, dressed in black, the bulky square-shaped man. This is for him," Raze answered.
"We need to deliver it to him as soon as possible, right?" Anna said. "Right now, there is still another one of the two Pillars that they are fighting against. I can tell that you no longer have the strength to fight against him."

"Deliver this to him," Raze said. "This should be enough to get them to victory, but we are still in a war; there is more that we need to do."
Just as Raze said that, a group of Behemoth Clan warriors were running through the street with weapons in hand.
They were yelling at the top of their lungs. When they came close, Rayna was able to tighten her grip on her spear and swung it, whacking one in the face.
Anna charged forward and flipped them over her, sending them into the air and crashing back down onto the ground.
"Right," Anna said. "There is more than just the Pillars to worry about… is there a solution to this?"
"Let's head to the main battlefield and make sure they get their shield first," Raze answered.
On the battlefield itself, the Crimson Crane had grouped up with the citizens that had been willing to fight. They were fighting together in groups of around thirty against the Behemoth Clan.
They found this was the best way for them to instruct who to go for, and the Crimson Crane could just injure rather than defeat members themselves and leave the rest for the others to pick off.
It was the best strategy they could come up with; however, it also meant that they were unable to help Alba and Tilon.
Tilon had been hit into the air, his shield that he was using completely shattered. When landing on the floor, he didn't get much time to rest either as Behemoth Clan members had jumped on him.
With his large fists, he grabbed them by the head, smashing them into one another and continued to fight, but how could he help Alba now?
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Without him, surely she would be struggling, and he was right. Polter was wildly swinging his arms, hitting Alba, with each hit and block, it almost felt like it was getting faster.
Polter was using Alba's great swordsmanship against her. Her blocking the attacks, his sword felt like it was rebounding, and the momentum of the swing was building up until Polter had reached an incredible speed.
Alba was already covered in cuts from head to toe, on the floor a trail of her own blood left behind from the marks on her body.
Her arms were incredibly numb and heavy, ready to drop down at any moment, but the second she dropped them, her body would be sliced in half.
"I can't… I can't hold on anymore!"
Through the crowd of people, Tilon could see Alba suffering from a bombardment of hits.
"I am the shield of the Crimson Crane, I need to help her, I need to!" Tilon pushed one of the Behemoth Clan members to the floor, and right in front of him, Rayna had dropped down.
"If you're going to help her, then it's best you take this!" Rayna said.
A large black shield shaped like a giant V. On the outer edge, it was glowing oddly white, as if there was a power source on the shield itself.
Then, on the outer marking of the shield itself largely engraved there was the marking of DM.
"This is… is this it… is this finally it, is this the shield made by the Dark Magus!" Tilon said.
"Just take the shield already," Rayna threw it in the air, and Tilon grabbed it on the other end. It was light, incredibly light to him.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})"Save your leader, do it now!" Rayna shouted. "And make the Behemoth Clan regret they ever came here!"
