Chapter 405 - Thwarted Strategy

After the dust from the explosion settled and only an open ground filled with fire, shredded trees and uprooted grass remained in this mountain range. And finally… the ginormous figure of the Caladrius was revealed to all the four assailants.

A fountain-like burst brown blood that created a stream like a small river ran on the ground as the legendary rank Caladrius now had a massive 50 meter radius hole in its frontal section of the right wing.

Under the sudden assault from the suppression formation, the massive iceberg and Kahn's Dragon Strike, the trapped monster finally received a fatal injury.

Thanks to Kassandra's suppression magic formation that reduced its physical strength and agility by 60% and Kahn's marauder skill which bypassed 80% of physical defense… the bird-like monster who killed so many of their soldiers at the military headquarters was finally wounded to the point it could barely even retaliate or try to escape.

KRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!

Caladrius wailed in agony and tried to push off the gigantic iceberg on its back as it flapped its left wing.

Each side contained three different lenghted sets that were interconnected so the entirety of it was already very wide. And soon, wrong winds gathered around the injured monster.

Crackle! Crackle!

But before it could even take flight, a bright and blinding yellow light suddenly brightened the whole forested region as a 100 meter long yellow colored archaic spear that was surrounded by moving lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

For Kahn, who had faced this spear in a battle, albeit for a brief moment… knew the origin of this terrifying attack skill.

And 50 meters below this archaic spear full of runes and ancient patterns that hovered in the air… stood a young woman whose eyes were filled with nothing but vengeance.

Kassandra Mikealson revealed herself at this decisive moment and used her biggest one shot spell called Spear of Dominion. And without even giving Caladrius to chance to react…

Swoosh!!

STAB!!

The widespread left wing of the legendary monster was pierced through by the spear of dominion.

Stab!

But Kassandra's revenge against the legendary bird monster who killed her cousin Issac wasn't going to be short-lived.

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

Her summoned spear didn't just stop at one point but it moved in the air while stabbing and piercing through many places on the 400 meters long left wing.

The monster whose body was already weak and burdened by the iceberg released an agonizing wail and its ear deafening screech filled the whole surrounding forest range.

After taking away its only advantage and suppressing it using the magic formation, even the legendary rank monster wasn't the match of their team.

Kahn knew that if not for Kassandra, his plan would've never succeeded and even with the best of his skills, the monster would've either destroyed cities and borders of this region and millions of people would've died.

Just from the span and the effect from her magic formations alone, he was certain that even other semi-saint mages of the Rakos Empire weren't as talented as the Raven Sorceress who helped them bring down this legendary rank monster without suffering unnecessary problems.

Because as things stood, even Blackwall wouldn't be of any help as all he could do was taunt the enemy and defend against it while his attacks didn't even land on the body of the enemy.

At this moment… Caladrius was completely on Kassandra's mercy.

Kahn on the other end, spoke nothing or tried to interfere. This was Kassandra's revenge and he simply needed the dead body to display to the soldiers and normal people of Verlassen fiefdom. So he chose to keep his mouth shut.

Oliver who suddenly dropped on the ground close to Kahn and Blackwall was having goosebumps all over his body as if it was him whose wings were tortured at this point.

Kahn now stood few hundred meters behind Kassandra who had a teary yet vengeful face as she was taking out all of her anger on this legendary rank enemy.

The whole torture sequence carried for 5 more minutes. But suddenly..

[Warning!! The host is under immense danger!!

The host must flee quickly!!] alarmed the system out of nowhere.

But before Kahn could even react… an immeasurably oppressive force was released from the Caladrius's body.

And right before its massive beak, a golden and ethereal orb that was comprised of an energy Kahn had never sensed and felt before came to be.

Kassandra, the closest person, had her eyes wide awake and she finally got out of her angered state.

Just then, the golden orb filled with some sort of incorporeal energy burst out.

Before Kahn, who couldn't even move at this moment was hit with this energy wave… a red protection barrier suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

His eyes were wide open as he saw the one to cast the spell instead of caring about themselves.

BOOM!!

A massive shockwave that spread across 1 kilometer radius shook the ground and everyone present in this battlefield was thrown off for quite some distance.

Under the now crumbling protection barrier… Kahn got up and regained his senses but he was quickly surprised after noticing his surroundings.

Thud!!

Right before his… Kassandra dropped on the ground.

Thud!!

Thud!!

And from behind him, both Blackwall and Oliver who previously stood 300 meters away also fainted.

Kahn got up from the ground and tried to adjust his footing as he saw the aftermath of that ethereal attack.

At this moment, only Kahn is somehow able to maintain his consciousness after surviving against that wave of energy.

Yet his eyes were focused on the Raven Sorceress who lay on the ground with lifeless eyes. She chose to use that spell on Kahn instead of herself in that very last moment when Caladrius suddenly released that skill.

And as his memory recalled that moment again… he concluded one thing.

That Kassandra was already closest to the attack but in the final moment, she realized that there wasn't enough time and instinctively cast protection barrier on Kahn.

In the moment of peril… For reasons he couldn't understand… instead of trying to save her own life…

Kassandra chose to sacrifice herself.
