I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Xiao, standing to the side, also assumed a fist stance, a bead of cold sweat dripping from his forehead. Xiao himself was well aware of Yuhaka's strength; that foul-breaking strength was simply unbelievable.

As she spoke, Sarah brandished the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword and charged towards Claire and the others. Seeing Sarah, who was dressed as Yuhaka and had a ferocious expression, charging towards them made Claire and the others very nervous. Even so, Xiao rushed up and punched Sarah, while Sarah swung her sword at Xiao.

After the two sides collided, both Xiao and Sarah looked completely bewildered. Xiao was bewildered because she was actually able to block Yhaka's attack, even though the Yhaka in front of her was an imposter.

Sarah was bewildered that Xiao was able to block her attack. She had seen Yuhaka being completely overwhelmed by Xiao before, so why was it different for her?

Could it be that the stronghold's barrier was rewritten?

Wait a minute? During the duel between the Four Gods and Scarlett's team, she knew very well that even when weakened, Yuhaka could easily send Xiao flying. Could it be a problem with that gauntlet?

Soon, Xiao noticed that the imposter Yhaka in front of him was strangely weak, so he increased his attack speed and pressed down on Yhaka. Sarah, who had transformed into Yhaka, was caught off guard and looked a bit flustered.

Yes, although Sarah transformed into Ehaka, she didn't gain Ehaka's power to lift Heracles high in the air, nor did she gain the ability to only get a bump on her head after being punched by Heracles. Uh... I mean, her defensive capabilities.

Sarah believed that it was the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword that bestowed Eohaka with great power, rather than Eohaka's own strength, which was an important reason why Sarah misjudged Eohaka's strength.

Even so, Sarah still managed to learn some of the sword techniques from Yuhaka, preventing her from being completely overwhelmed by Xiao. Claire and the others joined Xiao in attacking Sarah, who was impersonating Yuhaka, clearly not intending to talk about chivalry with the Purgatory Apostle.

In just a few minutes, Claire and her team defeated Sarah. When Sarah lost, she looked like she was questioning her life, as if she couldn't understand why she had lost.

After Sarah was defeated, she returned to her original form. Xiao then took back the magic stones of Baiya, Lao, and Rinne from Sarah. They didn't need the other magic stones and gave them to Claire and the others, since the operation wouldn't have succeeded without their help.

Claire and the others naturally accepted Xiao's choice, since they were also quite short of magic stones, and they also had to share some magic stones with Mira of the Broken Legion. Mira had made a great sacrifice in this operation, using that one-time sealing spirit. Mira might face condemnation from her superiors when she returned to her country.

Chapter 760 [Even Youyou Wants to Fire Off Her Light Cannon]

After Sarah was defeated, Claire and the others headed to the underground dungeon. Soon they found Fiana locked to the wall, motionless. Seeing this, Claire and the others rushed over and freed Fiana from the chains.

Fiana was quite surprised to see Claire and the others come to rescue her, since she thought it would take them some time to save her.

However, to Fiana's surprise, Claire and the others rescued her right after she was captured.

Fiana looked at Claire and the others, as well as Xiaoye, with surprised expressions and asked:

"Why are the spirit messengers of the Four Gods traveling with you?"

Regarding Fiana's question, Claire scratched her head and said:

"Hmm... explaining these things is a bit too complicated. Let's discuss them after we're safely back at base."

Upon hearing Claire's words, Fiana nodded in understanding, since they were still in the enemy's stronghold.

Before leaving for the surface, Fiana asked Claire and the others about the whereabouts of the others. Claire told Fiana about Yuhaka and the others, and Fiana was quite surprised after hearing it.

After everyone landed on the ground, Claire launched a fireball into the sky.

Meanwhile, Alice and the others, who were some distance away, noticed the signal sent by Claire and prepared to head to the meeting point they had agreed upon earlier.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka noticed a flash of fire in the sky.

However, just as Ehaka was slightly distracted, Hercules, who had just been under pressure from Ehaka, swung his stone weapon. Ehaka noticed the attack and jumped back to dodge Hercules's slash.

Ehaka was holding a huge musket. Just moments before, Ehaka had fired a full-scale shot at Hercules' head with this musket, blowing His head apart.

"I feel so hot..."

Ester, standing to the side, looked extremely hot and fanned herself with her small hands. Then, Ehaka transformed the gunpowder in her hand back into a two-handed sword. Just moments before, Ehaka had already annihilated half of Heracles' life.

At the same time, Zelus in the system space also said to Yuhaka:

"Alright, Youyou, you can use the Emblem Cannon to deliver a powerful blow to the opponent."

Upon hearing Zelus's words, Yuhaka's eyes lit up immediately, clearly showing that he was eager to be able to unleash the Emblem Cannon.

Then, Yuhaka's two-handed sword suddenly made a cracking sound, splitting in two in the middle, and the blade opened up like wings. Immediately afterwards, crimson and black lightning emerged from the two-handed sword.

Then, a powerful crimson-black lightning bolt rose up on the earth like a tower, and Claire and the others, who were evacuating, also saw the spectacular sight on Yhaka's side.

"My God?! What is that?!"

Linslet stared in disbelief at the scene in the distance, clearly terrified by what she saw. And it wasn't just Linslet; Claire and the others were also shocked by the sight.

Anna, who was standing to the side, seemed unconcerned about the scene in the distance and explained to the others:

"Hmm... This power is Master's power. It seems Master is getting serious."

After hearing Anna's words, everyone looked at her in shock and asked:

"Was that terrifying power Youyou's just now?!"

"horrible?"

Anna tilted her head and looked at Claire and the others with some doubt. She obviously couldn't figure out how terrifying this power was. After all, Anna had seen Yhaka's ability to control the wind and rain. The Emblem Cannon was not as terrifying as the ability to control nature, right?

"Master's power hasn't been fully unleashed yet."

"You haven't even used it all yet?!"

Hearing Anna's words, Xiao's jaw almost dropped in shock.

Meanwhile, other spirit-wielding groups in the distance also saw crimson-black lightning rising on the ground. Even though it was night, the intense crimson-black lightning turned the pitch-black night sky into an ominous dark red.

While hunting spirits elsewhere, Ren, who was part of the spirit-hunting team, narrowed her eyes as she looked at the ominous lightning in the distance. Clearly, Ren had discovered that the location of the lightning was precisely where her base was.

The scene shifts back to Ehaka, who is holding aloft a two-handed greatsword that resembles a demonic sword. Hercules, facing the immense pressure emanating from Ehaka, shows no fear but instead roars and charges towards him.

Facing the aggressive Hercules charging towards him, Ehaka felt no tension. Instead, he heightened his composure, and the ominous light emanating from the two-handed greatsword in his hand shone even brighter.

As a giant emblem appeared behind Ehaka, Ehaka swung it at Hercules, and a massive, ominous bolt of lightning struck Hercules.

"【Emblem Cannon - Dragon Strike】!"

boom------! !

With a huge explosion, terrifying and ominous crimson-black lightning instantly split the earth in two in the forest. The impact of the bombardment swept through the entire forest of the Purgatory Apostle's stronghold, making the whole forest look like it had been hit by a storm.

Claire and her companions could also feel the tremors throughout the forest, and they instinctively ducked to avoid the flying branches and stones.

"This is way too reckless!?"

Xiao looked at the dark red lightning in the distance with a panicked expression and said this. Claire, who was standing beside him, then answered:

"Well... you'll get used to it..."

"There's no way you'll get used to it!?"

The scene shifts back to Yhaka's side. As the dark red lightning gradually dissipates, Yhaka swings his two-handed greatsword, its surface crackling with dark red lightning, and looks at the earth before him, which he has cleaved into a huge trench.

Hercules had also vanished without a trace. Yuhaka scratched her head, looking at the scene with a puzzled expression. To be honest, she wondered if the big guy might suddenly disappear again like last time.

At that moment, Yuhaka found something that looked like a card in the huge ravine. When Yuhaka picked up the card, he realized that it was exactly the same as the card he had stolen from the strange man before.

Chapter 761 [The Big Shot is Actually Right Beside Me?]

After the fierce battle last night, the Four Gods Squad separated from Yhaka and the others. After all, the agreement between Yhaka and the Four Gods Squad was that after defeating Sarah, the Apostle of Purgatory, and distributing the spoils, the Four Gods Squad would separate from Yhaka and the others.

After eating breakfast prepared by Yuhaka, at Yuhaka's base, Mira brought up a very unexpected topic.

"Huh? Mira, is this really okay?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind."

Mira looked at Yuhaka and the others present and nodded in agreement. Mira covered her dull, demon-sealing eye and said:

"After losing the sealed spirits [Saint King's Legion] that were sealed in the Eye of the Demon Sealing, I no longer have the power to win in the Spirit Sword Dance Festival."

Mira's attempt to summon spirits through the ley lines of the Purgatory Apostle's stronghold was already a bit too much. Now, with cracks appearing in Mira's left eye, it has become dull and lifeless. This is the decision she has made since she is no longer a spirit user: to withdraw from the Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

That's right. After releasing the sealed spirits in the Eye of the Sealing Demon, Mira no longer has the power of a spirit user, which is the main reason why Mira wants to withdraw from the Spirit Sword Dance Festival.

What are Mira's plans for the future?

Claire, standing to the side, looked at Mira with a worried expression. As a Spirit User of the Broken Legion, Mira had lost her Spirit abilities and had even used a strategic-level sealed military Spirit. If Mira returned to her original country, she would likely face punishment...

Upon hearing Claire's question, Mira clutched her chest and said:

"Hmm... I can no longer return to the duchy, because I have betrayed the expectations of my homeland... But it's alright..."

Although Mira's expression remained as stiff as ever, her tone suggested that she didn't care much about these things.

It was at this moment that Linslet, standing to the side, flicked her long golden hair, proudly puffed out her chest—something Claire lacked—and said to Mira:

"If you'd like, please come to my house. I can hire you as a maid for the Lauren Frost family!"

Upon hearing Linslet's words, Claire, standing nearby, gave a look of disdain and said:

"Don't go there. Lauren Frost is not only in the countryside, but it's also freezing cold. Instead, come to my house. If we're going to revive the Elstein family, we need help."

Linslet, who was standing nearby, was also angry when she heard Claire's words. She looked at Claire and shouted at her:

"You! What did you say?!"

Mira, seeing the two who then started arguing, broke out in a cold sweat and said to them:

"Uh... thank you both so much for the invitation, but... I plan to go to their place with Youyou later."

Upon hearing Mira's words, Claire and Linslet, who were playfully fighting, were immediately stunned. Everyone else was also stunned, except for Yuhaka, who had an "OwO?" look on his face, as if to say, "What do you need Yuhaka for?"

Fiana, standing to the side, looked at Mira with a curious expression and said:

Why go to Youyou's place?

Hearing Fiana's words, Claire and the others looked at Mira with great curiosity. After all, Claire and the others had never known about Yuhaka's background, so they were very curious as to why Mira wanted to go to Yuhaka's side.

Mira offered an explanation to everyone's questions:

"Just last night when I was sleeping, I had a dream. In the dream, I was in a forest that looked very special, and in that forest there was a girl who looked very mysterious."

A special forest? A very mysterious girl?

Hearing Mira's words, Claire and the others also looked puzzled. What did this have to do with Mira wanting to talk to Yuhaka and the others?

Anna, who was eating the mini cakes made by Yuhaka, paused for a moment, then looked at Mira and said:

"A very mysterious girl? Miss Mira, may I ask if that girl had long green hair?"

Mira was surprised when she heard Anna's question, but then she realized that Anna was on Yhaka's side, so it was only natural that she would know these things.

Mira nodded, indicating that it was exactly the same as what Anna said, and Anna also nodded and said:

"I see. Miss Mira, the one you dreamed about last night was Zelus, the will of a certain planet."

Planetary consciousness?

Hearing Anna's words, Claire and the others looked completely puzzled. Clearly, they didn't understand what planetary consciousness was. After all, their world didn't have the concept of planets, so it was understandable that they didn't know about planetary consciousness.

Anna wasn't surprised to see Claire and the others looking confused, since few people knew the concept of planetary consciousness. But... Anna couldn't help but feel embarrassed looking at Yuhaka, who was completely bewildered. Why did you, a planetary consciousness (UO), look so confused?!
