Rowan raised his arms and the golden bell blocked Souta's slash.
Boom!
Souta gritted his teeth as he put more force in his slash. His ears had regenerated along with his eyes. Also, some part of his skin had recovered.
His [Draw Blood] trait made his attacks stronger but he couldn't risk himself not regenerating some of his wounds caused there's a chance that Rowan would be able to one hit him if his health was too low.
"Souta!! Leave him!!"
Eilish shouted as she finished her preparation.
Rowan turned his head and opened his eyes in shock. The energy that gathered around the wooden staff was too dense and enormous. The fluctuations were producing violent torrents of energy in the form of sparks. It was distorting the area around her.
"This is..."
With just a glance, he knew exactly what will happen to him if Eilish launched that spell.
Bang!
"What?!"
He lost his focus when he saw Eilish and he ignored one of the problems around him. Souta, who was pushing his soul weapon, managed to break through his defenses.
"Eilish, don't worry about me!! Just cast the spell!"
Souta roared as he slashed the vajra sword in his hand once again.
Swoosh!
"Ugh!"
Rowan groaned as a huge cut appeared on his chest and the torrent of energy from the slash swallowed his body.
"Fine."
Eilish pressed her hand together and her attention was on the two. Since she heard Souta's approval, she wasn't going to hesitate anymore.
[Heaven and Earth Annihilating Cannon]!!
She pushed her hand forward and the wooden staff stopped spinning. The energy inside it suddenly exploded and an enormous beam engulfed everything in front of her.
The black and white energy twisted together like a snake as it moved in a straight line. The height and width of the beam covered everything and the walls of water were instantly shattered by its power.
A low-grade tier 3 spell was casted by a shackled realm expert using a vast amount of mana was horrific.
BOOOOM!!!
Eztein was holding both Yenxa and Gragas on his shoulder when an enormous explosion burst behind him.
"Fucking shit!!!"
They were already far from the riverside yet the shockwaves caused by the beam still blow them away. The beam illuminated the sky and the forest which was covered in darkness.
The witches and Eilish's subordinates had already distanced themselves. Everyone knew that when two Extinction Realm masters were fighting, everything below it would get caught up in the aftershocks of the battle.
So everyone within three kilometers of the beam felt the most powerful shockwave. And it even injured most of the B-rank experts around.
Swoosh!!
The two elders who were fighting above the clouds suddenly stopped and both of them looked down only to find an enormous white and black beam engulfing the whole Mist River.
"They are fighting below... An Extinction Realm..." Elder Guan muttered in disbelief.
Elder Hanmi narrowed his eyes and didn't say anything.
The black and white beam traveled three hundred and fifty kilometers in a straight line destroying a total of four three thousand meter tall mountains. It didn't explode as it simply faded away after traveling so far.
The geographical structure of the entire land had changed just like that. People of this land needed to redraw the map once again.
A large part of Mist River was gone just like that.
There was a reason why they were called Extinction Realm. Just like the war decades ago, it entirely changed the land formation of the whole central continent.
"Oh shit, I thought I was a goner."
Souta said beside Eilish as he watched the spectacle caused by her attack spell. He recognized the spell that she had used and was quite surprised to see its power in this high world.
Eilish glanced at him and said, "I never expected you to know short-distance teleportation spell."
"It's nothing compared to your spell." Souta shrugged his shoulders. He canceled his [Monster Orb Release], [Soul Blood Mode], and [Possession] skills as it was too taxing using these three at the same time.
"Be careful, that guy wouldn't go down easily," Eilish warned when she saw him turn back to his normal form.
"I know." Souta nodded with a serious expression. He knew that a shackled realm wouldn't die from an attack like that but Rowan wouldn't also escape it unscathed even if he used his soul weapon.
That's the most important thing. To injure Rowan and lower his combat prowess.
Swoosh!
They saw a silhouette inside a smoke.
Boom!
The smoke was dispersed as the figure released an energy wave. The figure was Rowan and his body was covered in his own blood. He directly took Eilish's attack and he survived with heavy injuries.
He was angry. The rage in his body was about to explode. It's been a long time since someone managed to push him to this extent.
"He's coming."
Eilish said and Rowan disappeared in their vision.
Swoosh!
Souta quickly activated his [Possession] and [Monster Orb Release] form. His body had inflated and he immediately swung the vajra sword in his hand.
Hmph!
Rowan snorted and threw a punch. His fist and the sword collided causing a shockwave.
Bang!
"Tsk! This is bad!!"
Eilish clicked her tongue as she flew backward to create some distance while erecting barriers around her. The distance between her and Rowan was just a few several dozens of meters.
[Spiral Dominant Sphere]!!
She waved her hand a more than twenty fist-size white energy balls formed around her. The white energy balls flew towards Rowan and shoots energy rays.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
[Great Molina Bell]!
The golden bell rang and it produced a sound. The sound caused the white rays to explode before it even reached Rowan.
Souta knitted his brows and he slashed his sword repeatedly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rowan looked at Souta in the eyes as he blocked all the slash using his left hand alone. He clenched his fist and deflected Souta's sword.
Bang!
"Argh!"
Souta gritted his teeth and he looked down. He saw Rowan's other hand move so fast before it pierced his stomach.
Ugh!
The four spider limbs on his back charged [Bestrou]s. He quickly fired it after gathering enough power.
Boom!
"Not enough!"
Rowan roared as he pulled back his hand and threw a punch that contained a vast amount of energy.
Boom!
The [Bestrou]s were blasted away and Souta opened his eyes as a blinding light burst.
Rowan gives him one more glance before he flew away. He rushed towards Eilish who was preparing various spells.
Swoosh!
The white energy balls were dispersed by the sound waves from the golden bell. It also shattered a layer of the barrier around Eilish.
Bang!
Eilish gritted her teeth and she raised her hand above her head. A giant block of ice materialized above her. The block of ice had a diameter of two kilometers. It was so huge that it almost blocked everything that was above her.
"Petty tricks."
Rowan snorted and he gathered his energy on his soul weapon.
[Thousand Destruction Sound]!
The majestic golden bell rang several times and it sent ripples in the air like a wave of water.
Of course, it wasn't easy destroying this giant block of ice. If it was an ordinary giant ice then it would be easy to shatter it but this block of ice wasn't ordinary at all. It contained Eilish's vast energy that toughened the ice several times.
But Rowan was a shackled realm expert. He was a witch and his soul weapon directly boosted his firepower and it was compatible with his battle style.
Destroying this ice was only a little harder for him.
Rowan flew towards the ice and in the next moment, the ice was shattered into tiny fragments.
Bang!
[Heightened Flame Ray]!
Eilish pointed her staff forward and flames gushed out like a tsunami.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared beside him and she opened her eyes in shock. Rowan had gotten close to her and it will be bad for her. It's not that she didn't know how to fight in close range but her opponent was clearly a master in melee battle compared to her. It would be a disadvantageous position to her so the chances that she will suffer defeat were higher.
"Leave me no choice!"
Eilish gritted her teeth as she grabbed her staff which was floating beside her and swung it at Rowan.
Rowan smirked and threw a punch at her.
Boom!
Both of their attacks collided and it sent shockwaves in the surrounding area. Both of them continued to fight head-on and Rowan didn't give Eilish a chance to get away from him. Every time Eilish tried to run away, he was always blocking her path and forced her into a melee battle.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Souta coughed a mouthful of blood and he turned his head. He saw that the two were fighting and he could clearly see who was winning the battle.
"Ah fuck!"
He cursed in annoyance. This was not the only problem right now. Yenxa and the others were also fighting the other witches.
"Just one more minute..."
