"NOO!!" Kalypso cried out in horror as a metallic screech resounded from the Crimson Death. But she knew she could never reach in time. She had failed her previous master, but how could she fail her new master as well, especially the successor of her first master?
However, right before she was about to fall into despair, a brilliant blood-red light shone from Damien's glabella, blinding the commander who was about to behead Damien.
"GROWLL!!!*
An ear-rendering roar shook the entire battlefield as the men of the Xeton Army momentarily got paralyzed.
There was pin-drop silence as everyone looked in the direction of Damien with their jaws slacked.
Even Lily, Yuria, Reva, Elor, Irene, and Leon were shocked by the sight in front of them. Elor had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming or anything.
All of them saw a giant ethereal beast thirty meters tall in front of Damien, looking like a ferocious, fully matured tigress.
But what set her apart from a normal tigress was her mystical, otherworldly appearance and her bloody aura.

Her feral eyes were a hypnotic ruby red and what made her look even more entrancing was her large feathery wings that looked thick and strong enough to let her really fly if she wanted to. With just a subtle flap of those wings, a powerful gust of wind would follow, which could send men flying.
And on her forehead, there was a bright ruby red gem embedded on her skin which had an exquisite look.
But what shook the men of the Xeton Army was her spine-chilling aura, especially when they were under her angry, bloodthirsty gaze. The two long fangs that extended down from her upper jaw were sharp enough to even tear through a building of steel like it was nothing.
If there was a spectator watching this battle from the beginning, they would wonder where the commander who was about to cut Damien's head went. But they would surely be shocked to see a puddle of blood under one of the feet of this terrifying ethereal beast.
Nobody even heard a squeal when a cultivator at the Peak of the Profound Ethereal Realm got crushed into a bloody paste.
"V-Valentina?..." Damien was overwhelmed by happiness and relief to see her colossal figure. He was surely impatiently waiting for her to come out ever since she was wrapped in a cocoon, but he never expected her to come out at this moment.
Was it coincidence, or did she sense he was in danger? But whatever it was, all Damien cared about was that she was in very good shape. Apparently, she did seem to have gone through an evolutionary stage, especially with the increase in her size and the addition of wings.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})He had never felt so tiny before an ethereal beast. He realized that Valentina could even hold him in her paws if she wanted to.
But what astonished him was her cultivation. It was at the First Level of the Profound Ethereal Realm! Her cultivation did surely jump by a significant amount, and it seemed like Yohr's ethereal core proved to be quite beneficial for her.
Without even talking to her, he could feel the burning desire in her to devour the blood of all these men and, at the same time, her overflowing love for him, feeling exhilarated to see him again.
The men of the Xeton Army came out of their stupor as they began to fire up their best offensive formations to take down this huge ethereal beast before it could crush them to a bloody pulp while the three remaining commanders took positions to take her down.
"Valentina, be careful…" Damien mentally warned since he knew how powerful their ethereal formations were and didn't want her to be caught off guard.
"ROARRR!!* Valentina let out a wild roar, feeling enraged that these puny things dared to hurt her beloved.
Her roar rattled the spines of the men as they saw her charge toward them with a bloodthirsty look.
The three commanders who were near here quickly flew up in different directions to confuse and attack her from different sides and take her down.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})But right before they could launch their strongest ethereal attacks, a bright red light suddenly shone from the ruby red gem on her forehead.
Nobody knew what exactly happened, but the three commanders had their expressions twisted into pain and confusion as they felt their ethereal energy suddenly becoming chaotic within their bodies because of their own blood disrupting the flow of their ethereal energy.
But all Valentina needed was for them to get stunned, and she easily lifted both her powerful arms and swatted all three commanders down to the ground before crushing them into a pool of blood.
However, the men of the Xeton Army had already activated their ethereal offensive formations as dozens of powerful ethereal attacks launched into the air as they shot toward Valentina.
Valentina's eyes didn't flicker despite seeing so many attacks shooting towards her while Damien's wives and the three seniors were worried if something might happen to Valentina since it would be hard for her to dodge with such a huge body.
And to their surprise, they saw Valentina still rushing toward the army despite the ethereal attacks that were heading her way. Was she really planning to take on those ethereal attacks with her body? Even if she was physically strong, she would still get hurt, though Reva squinted her eyes, feeling that she knew what she was doing.
But to everyone's shock, Valentina's figure momentarily became invisible as if her figure got glitched while those ethereal attacks passed through her!
And before they realized it, she was already stomping over the men of the Xeton Army while swatting some away like toys.
"AARGHH!!"
"UGH!!"
