Kana Ganesha, the former vice-president of the South Island Warlock Academy, defected to the Beast Cult and fetched a handsome price!
Not only had he successfully fused with the blood of a batman, he had also pledged his faith to Charon, the "God of Death" among the Four Gods of the Apocalypse. Through his devout worship, he had earned the privilege of advancing to the "Rakshasa Demon."
Kana's terrifying form at this moment was none other than the legendary "Elephant-Headed Rakshasa"!
The Rakshasa Blood Wheel hummed, continuously emitting a terrifying aura that seemed tangible.
Alan bore the brunt of the pressure, feeling the greatest mental pressure.
The terrifying aura radiated by a fifth-level Rakshasa Demon was even more powerful than that of a fifth-level dragon.
Thankfully, it didn't exceed the protective limit of "Requiem Meditation."
Alan focused his mind and calmed his breath, quickly dispelling the palpitations.
Kana noticed his expression return to composure, and a subtle flicker of surprise crossed his eyes.
Boom!
The Rakshasa Blood Wheel suddenly erupted with magical power, propelling Kana to instantly break the sound barrier. An umbrella-shaped white cloud exploded behind him!
It was only then that Alan realized the Rakshasa Blood Wheel was more than just a decorative piece.
It's structure was surprisingly similar to a vector jet engine!
The symmetrically distributed longitudinal axis of the wheel was perforated with air holes, which ejected magical power backwards. The thrust provided by this propulsion transformed Kana into a human rocket, hurtling straight towards Alan!
The thrust provided by the Blood Wheel was proportional to the Rakshasa's rank.
Kana Ganesa's instantaneous burst of speed was at least five times the speed of sound!
Alan's agility was actually similar to Kana's.
Unfortunately, the Rakshasa Blood Wheel's thrust was simply too abnormal!
Even with the bonus of his Leopard Man bloodline, Alan could not dodge Kana's charge even with his full "Hound Step." He had no choice but to adopt a defensive stance, layering his soft bone armor with his beastly armor, gritting his teeth and withstanding the impact!
At the same time, Allen also launched a counterattack.
He placed his right hand on the back of his left palm, overlapping his palms and thrusting them forward.
Bright moonlight blossomed in his palm like a white lotus in full bloom!
Moon Shadow Bomb!
Bang!
A dull crash echoed over the mushroom garden.
Where the two collided, a shockwave erupted, sending dust flying!
At this point, both the enemy and our allies in the secret realm had ceased their fighting.
All eyes were focused on Kana and Allen.
The figure of the leopard-headed giant flew backwards through the air, flashing by.
Bang, bang, bang!
Allen's back shattered three stalagmites, each as thick as a bridge pier, finally dissipating the impact and falling into the rubble.
Crash!
The rubble crumbled, and the leopard-headed giant rose to his feet.
A bloody fist mark was clearly visible on Allen's chest.
Kana's punch pierced through his soft bone armor and beast armor, nearly causing his heart to stop!
Enduring the excruciating pain in his chest, Allen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his breathing rapid.
The elephant-headed Rakshasa across from him remained unharmed.
The moment the Moon Shadow Bomb exploded, it was repelled by the Blood Wheel.
The Rakshasa Blood Wheel possessed three functions:
Fear Aura!
Jet Boost!
And... opening the Anti-Magic Barrier!
A Level 5 Rakshasa Demon possesses a Level 4 Anti-Magic Barrier?!
Alan's "Moon Shadow Bullet," which he relied on to counter Beast Warlocks, was useless against the Rakshasa Demons who had advanced from Beast Warlocks.
As his rank rose, the enemies Alan encountered grew increasingly powerful.
It was normal that he couldn't defeat Kana Ganesar.
After all, the opponent was two levels higher than him and had even advanced to a Rakshasa Demon.
Being inferior in skill didn't matter; the key was learning from the experience!
Today's battle had served as a wake-up call for Alan.
The Level 4 "Moon Shadow Bullet" was already somewhat outdated.
It was necessary to fuse a more powerful Moonlight-based martial art to deal with the Rakshasa Demons.
This approach was sound.
But high-level martial arts don't appear out of thin air. They require similar low-level martial arts or magic as raw materials, and a certain level of proficiency is required before the system prompts for fusion.
The question is, which skill should be fused with "Moon Shadow Bullet" to achieve its enhanced version?
Alan lacks the appropriate fusion materials...
There are two possible solutions to this problem.
Either try your luck and wait for the relevant spells to awaken.
Or go to the Silver Moon Monastery's inheritance pavilion and, if you can find a skill suitable for fusion with "Moon Shadow Bullet," get a shot.
Just as he was pondering this, Kana hooked his finger.
A jewel pendant flew out of Alan's shorts pocket and landed in Kana's hand.
This magical pendant was Marvin's legacy.
During his lifetime, Marvin had used it to prevent Alan from reading his mind.
"Young man, you shouldn't have kept Marvin's Heart Amulet."
The elephant-headed Rakshasa's eyes were cold and his tone was contemptuous.
"You murdered Marvin and embezzled this treasure. Do you think you got away with it?"
"Alas, your greed is the path to your own death!"
Faced with Kana's scornful rebuke, Allen shook his head and smiled.
"In fact, I've long known that Marvin's relic has been marked with an anchor by you."
"I kept it with you not because I coveted the Heart Amulet, but to play the long game and catch a bigger fish."
"Excuse me, old man, you're the foolish fish that took the bait and still thinks you're smart!"
"Oh? Did you do that on purpose?"
The elephant-headed Rakshasa laughed heartily.
"That's the funniest joke I've ever heard!"
"To be so stubborn is pathetic and ridiculous!"
Alan didn't intend to waste his breath trying to convince a self-righteous old man. He held his little finger in his mouth and whistled.
Next to the Fungus Master, in a mushroom hut.
The silver-haired loli heard the whistle, dropped her bottle, and vanished.
The clear whistle still echoed in the air.
Master Shiva had teleported to Alan's side!
A tiger-headed giant, crowned with an angelic halo, descended proudly!
Kana Ganesha's laughter abruptly ceased, as if his throat were being strangled.
His pupils contracted violently.
White Tiger Martial Lord glanced at Kana calmly, then returned his gaze to Alan's face, his eyes becoming exceptionally gentle.
"Are you hurt?"
"Just a punch, nothing serious," Allen said truthfully.
However, in the eyes of the protective Master Shiva, the blood still lingering on the corner of her beloved disciple's lip was enough to indicate a serious injury, causing her heartache.
"Old man! I'll hit my student back just the way you hit me!"
The White Tiger Martial Master coldly gazed at the Elephant-Headed Rakshasa, exuding an air of arrogance that looked down upon his opponent.
"If you can survive my punch, you can leave the mushroom garden alive. Otherwise, you'll have to leave your life behind!"
Master Shiva never hesitated.
Before he finished his words, he had already pounced upon Kana Ganesha.
The Angel of Gadin of Silver Moon Island and the Demonic Rakshasa of Red Moon Island were well-known rivals.
The White Tiger Martial Master was particularly renowned!
The number of Rakshasas who have perished at her hands is too numerous to count on one hand!
Kana, having only recently advanced to the Rakshasa stage, knew he was no match for Master Shiva.
But to say he couldn't even withstand a single blow from her was truly insulting!
The elephant-headed Rakshasa's expression was solemn!
His bones and joints crackled.
His muscles and skin swelled like balls!
Kana had already perfected the fifth stage of her family's secret bloodline training technique, "Elephant Skin Kung Fu."
The pre-enhanced "Stone Skin Technique" had given the flexible elephant skin ample strength!
Finally, Kana added a layer of beastly armor, creating a perfect defensive system.
Is White Tiger Martial Lord so impressive? What a boast!
Kana Ganesha was seething with anger.
After all, he had been a renowned figure for a long time, one of the three great masters of the South Island Warlock Academy, once at the pinnacle.
In terms of seniority, Master Shiva achieved fame after him.
In terms of age, Master Shiva was merely his nephew!
Boasting publicly, claiming he could knock out an old veteran with a single punch?
On what basis?!
Kana Ganesha, I defy you a thousandfold!!
Until White Tiger Martial Master's seemingly ordinary punch landed where his arms were crossed for protection!
"Bang!"
Master Shiva spat out a single word coldly.
Crack!
The elephant-headed Rakshasa's arms snapped.
Bone and tendon ruptured, flesh and blood rotted!
Only then did the true power of that punch become apparent.
Golden energy enveloped his fist, suddenly materializing into a lifelike tiger!
The sound of the fist's force piercing the air and breaking through the wind was like a tiger's roar!
The Silver Moon School's supreme martial art—Tiger Emperor Star-Smashing Fist!
Bang!
Master Shiva's fist pierced through his opponent's defenses, charging forward and striking him squarely in the chest!
The tiger's energy pierced through his chest, suddenly bursting forth!
With a roar, it shattered the Rakshasa Blood Wheel behind Kana!
With the Blood Wheel's destruction, Kana lost his fear aura, his anti-magic barrier, and his ability to fly.
Originally, he had a pair of bat wings behind him, allowing him to fly.
However, the magically materialized Rakshasa Blood Wheel couldn't withstand Master Shiva's earth-shattering punch, let alone two fragile membranous wings. The bat's black wings were ripped apart by the aftermath of the punch.
The elephant-headed rakshasa plummeted from the sky, landing among a pile of rocks.
Kana Ganesha's arms were shattered, and a large hole was punched through his chest, rupturing his internal organs.
Even his elephant ears were deafened by the thundering tiger roar.
Blood gushed from his ears, and he sank into a daze.
He said a punch, and it was a punch!
White Tiger Martial Master lived up to his promise.
With a single Tiger Emperor Star-Smashing Fist, he knocked the invincible elephant-headed rakshasa, Kanana Ganesha, to the ground, nearly dead.
"Who else?"
White Tiger Martial Master glanced around.
Akbar, Beiting, and the others' faces had lost all color.
Everyone was silent, timid, not even daring to breathe.
Young Master Aslan, the Blue Dragon, furrowed his brows as he attempted to save the dying Kana, but was held back by his girlfriend, Spenza.
Spanna, hiding in a corner, quietly sent out a "Wind Signal"!
"If you can't block a punch, you die! I said that, who has any objections?"
Master Shiva asked again in public.
No one responded.
Master Shiva snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on the furtive Spenza.
Spanna froze for a moment, then quickly put on a forced smile and waved her paw at her, pretending to be a harmless lucky cat.
"Girl, you don't look very bright," Master Shiva remarked sharply. "You're nothing like your mother!"
Spanna froze, a look of exasperation washing over her face, but she forced it back, continuing to feign a silly and cute expression.
Spenza's heart trembled, and she quickly shielded her sister behind her.
Alan watched, amusement in his own eyes.
Master Shiva withdrew his gaze and strode towards Kana.
The Beast Cult watched helplessly as this ferocious deity advanced on the dying Kana, no one daring to intervene.
Until a beam of teleportation light appeared before Kana.
"You cannot kill this man."
A gentle voice echoed from the teleportation array.
It sounded like a gentle woman.
"Caroline, you're finally here."
Master Shiva didn't seem surprised.
The teleportation light faded, revealing a slender figure dressed in a slim black dress with the Red Moon Spider emblem embroidered on her back.
The current Beast Cult leader, the infamous "Spider Queen" Caroline, is surprisingly an intellectual beauty wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
Her raven hair is pulled into a low side ponytail, flowing from the back of her neck to rest casually across her chest.
The more Alan looked at this hairstyle, the more familiar it looked...
Yes, it was the "Madam's hairstyle is dangerous" look, giving her the air of a devoted wife and mother.
"I told you, Kana must die today, and you can't stop her."
Master Shiva stared at the Spider Queen, his emerald tiger eyes ablaze with fighting spirit.
"Kana is a guest of our Beast Cult. I want to protect him, and I will. No one can touch him, not even you!"
Caroline took off her glasses.
Unprotected by the lenses, her narrow, phoenix eyes took on a fierce aura, like a blade unsheathed.
Master Shiva ignored her warning and strode forward.
Caroline's face darkened, and a terrifying aura erupted.
Boom!
The onlookers, as if swept by a typhoon, stumbled back in unison.
Composing herself with difficulty, she looked up again.
The beautiful and dignified Caroline had transformed.
Sixth-level Atavism, Spider Mother Rakshasa!
Eight claws, eight eyes, two palms turning!
Behind the atavistic Caroline, the Rakshasa Blood Wheel slowly rotated, like the wheel of an ancient clock.
Bang!
Master Shiva suddenly clenched his fist, his palm pulverizing the air.
A tiger's roar, like thunder, was breathtaking!
Caroline extended her index finger, pointing at Master Shiva, a blood-red glow surging from her fingertips.
The Red Moon School's supreme secret technique, "Red Moon Finger," is ready to unleash!
Spider Queen Caroline and White Tiger Martial Master Shiva.
Two sixth-level powerhouses confronted each other!
The aura they emanated suffocated everyone.
Of all the people, the most nervous was Kana Ganesa.
He was severely injured, barely hanging on.
Utilizing his "Rapid Healing" physique, he raced against time to heal himself.
Even if his body fully recovered, the confidence shattered by Master Shiva's punch could never be repaired.
A deep psychological scar had been left on him, and he never wanted to see that terrifying tiger-headed witch again!
The stalemate seemed to stretch on for a century, so long.
Just when the onlookers were about to burst under the pressure, Master Shiva finally lowered his fist.
He turned, his back to the Spider Queen, seemingly agreeing.
Caroline's tense expression relaxed, her fingertips drooping.
Not far away, Kana Ganesha breathed a sigh of relief.
Striving to stand, he reshaped his Rakshasa Blood Wheel and planned to fly to the Spider Queen to thank her.
However, at that moment...
Master Shiva suddenly vanished!
Instantly, he appeared before Kana and, with lightning speed, unleashed the "Tiger King Star-Smashing Fist"!
"How dare you!"
The Spider Queen, shocked and furious, raised her hand and unleashed a crimson beam!
If Master Shiva persisted in his pursuit of Kana, she, too, would be vulnerable to the "Red Moon Finger" sniper attack!
Swish!
The crimson finger force pierced through the right side of Master Shiva's spine, piercing his lungs and exiting his chest with a stream of blood.
At the same time, Master Shiva's fist slammed directly into Karna Ganesha's terrified face.
Bang!
With a resounding roar, his head exploded on the spot!
Caroline's narrow eyes suddenly widened.
They were filled with disbelief.
She couldn't understand why Shiva harbored such deep hatred for Karna.
He was determined to kill Karna Ganesha, even at the risk of taking a blow and sustaining serious injuries!
So reckless, so stubborn, so completely disregarding the consequences...
He was simply mad! !
"Shiva! Are you crazy?"
Ka Rowling's voice was sharp and trembling slightly.
"Why would you do such a foolish thing?!"
Shiva coughed violently, blood-tinged foam oozing from the corners of his mouth.
Even a sixth-level warlock like her could not withstand the blow from the Spider Queen's finger. Half of her lung was ruptured and congested.
After calming her breath, Shiva's face turned pale and she calmly answered the Spider Queen's question.
"Kana Ganesa and my student have a sworn grudge for murdering their son. We are sworn enemies."
"If I don't kill him, he will surely seek revenge on Allen's entire family."
"For peace of mind, Kanana Ganesa must die today!"
Hearing Master Shiva's words, Allen felt a mixture of gratitude and a touch of sadness.
Caroline turned her head and gave Allen a long, peculiar look.
She seemed to be examining the young man's extraordinary talent.
Shiva valued him so much that he risked his life to help him slay Kana Ganesha and put an end to his future troubles.
Caroline raised her index finger and pushed up the nonexistent rim of her glasses.
Her gaze toward Shiva was thick with murderous intent.
She had reached the Sixth Stage earlier than Shiva, and her confidence was even greater.
But defeating Shiva wasn't so easy.
Killing him in single combat was even more difficult!
Shiva, determined to kill Kana right in front of her, paid the price with a serious injury.
For Caroline, this was a godsend!
Eliminate Shiva, and the Silver Moon Monastery would be no more of a threat!
"Strike her while she's ill!"
This thought grew in the Spider Queen's mind!
Just as she was about to strike, a surge of magical energy suddenly erupted in the air.
A massive golden cross sword, tearing through the dimensional barrier, plummeted down like a meteor.
Puff!
The greatsword plunged into the earth, its blade buried ten feet in the soil, a small portion still sticking out, humming and vibrating, as if beckoning.
The sword's broad black guards flared to either side.
The exaggerated shape resembled a pair of upraised black wings.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the greatsword falling from the sky, their eyes a mixture of horror and curiosity.
Caroline and Shiva sensed the sword's call.
They exchanged a glance and simultaneously approached the sword.
Each of them reached out and touched the hilt, which resembled a pair of black wings, to read the message conveyed to them by the sword's master.
After a moment, Caroline and Shiva simultaneously withdrew their hands, a look of realization crossing their faces.
"Let's go!"
The Spider Queen waved her hand and led the retreat.
The Beast Cult members didn't dare ask further questions, and followed the Pope, hastily leaving the mushroom garden.
Aslan, taking a hint from his girlfriend's eyes, also retreated with the Dragon Vein Warlocks.
In the end, only the Amazing Circus, a mere bystander, remained in the secret realm, led by Sonia.
They plucking the sheep's hair while watching the situation unfold.
These guys, the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam is crooked!
Including leader Sonia, each of them has no regard for the overall situation, no regard for the lives of their allies, and only cares about their own benefits!
In fact, their behavior is understandable.
Besides the mushroom garden, the Human Demon Cult also has other secret realms.
For them, the spores necessary for meditation were paramount; the mushroom garden itself was secondary.
Seeing the mushroom garden was in jeopardy, they raced against time to harvest as many spores as possible.
A man doesn't become rich without unexpected fortune, and a horse doesn't grow fat without overnight grass!
Since Captain Sonia hadn't fled yet, everyone was determined to follow suit and collect more spores!
If we miss this opportunity, we'll miss it forever!
…
The Black Winged Golden Sword, planted in the center of the earth.
The moment Caroline and the others evacuated the mushroom garden, the mysterious giant sword vanished into thin air, as if it had never existed...
Alan walked to where the giant sword had fallen and examined it carefully, but found no trace of it.
Confused, he returned to Master Shiva.
"Teacher, what's the origin of that giant sword that just fell from the sky?"
"Origin City," Master Shiva replied softly, his expression solemn.
"Origin City?"
Alan's face was filled with curiosity, and he wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Master Shiva waved him off.
"Don't ask questions now. You'll understand once this war is over."
Master Shiva sighed and cast a healing spell on himself.
The bloody holes pierced from his back to his chest by the force of his finger were slowly healing.
The injured lung, however, would not heal in a short time.
"I need to recuperate for a while, so I can't babysit you for now."
"Back on Silvermoon Island, keep quiet and don't cause any more trouble!"
Master Shiva coughed again, finally catching his breath, and then asked Allen:
"Those warlocks of the Human-Demon Cult are still hiding in the secret realm. What are you going to do with these little rats?"
"Don't worry about them. The mushroom farm is about to move anyway. Anything we can't move will be treated as feed for the rats."
Alan held her hand and checked her condition through the system.
Confirming her injuries weren't life-threatening, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Master Shiva noticed he was concerned about his injury, smiled calmly, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't die that easily."
"Teacher Shiva, I'm so grateful to you today! I really don't know how I can repay you..."
"If you really want to repay me, then be a good boy from now on and stop being so disrespectful to me!"
Master Shiva glared at his traitorous disciple with resentment.
"You wretch! You bully me because I'm short and young, and you keep asking me to be your godfather! How could I have a disciple like you?!"
"Ahem! Just thinking about this makes me so angry!"
Alan couldn't help but laugh.
Pretending to be submissive, he helped Master Shiva back to his room to rest.
After helping his teacher wash and sleep, Alan went to find Olivia and Griffin and told them about his plan to take the Fungus Master and the mushroom people and move to Silvermoon Island.
The Fungus Master was too large to be transported directly.
Alan had originally wanted to ask his friend, General Wendy Randolph, in the South Island Navy to borrow a warship to transport the Fungus Master.
However, the sea was rough and unpredictable, and with the enemy's vigilance, a long voyage presented numerous uncertainties.
To avoid further complications, Alan accepted Felin's suggestion and used a large Griffin airship to transport the Fungus Master.
With a smooth journey, the airship should reach Silvermoon Island in a week at most.
Since their promotion to fourth-level sorcerers, Julie and Felin, siblings, have become the pride and glory of the Griffin family.
As direct descendants of a sorcerer family, status is tied to strength.
A word from the siblings is more effective than that of the clan leader, Uncle Ryan!
The loan of the transport boat was quickly arranged.
The Griffin family provided three large airships free of charge. One ship was dedicated to transporting the Fungus Master, while the other two carried the Myconids.
Olivia and Griffin, siblings, also accompanied them to Silvermoon Island.
In addition to escorting the airship, the three also accepted Allen's invitation to stay on Silvermoon Island.
The Fungus Master had relocated to the Panthes Underworld, where he would deploy a temporal barrier and rebuild the Mushroom Garden.
Julie, Olivia, and Feilin would also follow Allen into the Mushroom Garden, dedicating themselves to their training in this newly constructed secret realm.
Until the war was over and the dust had settled.
