"Miss Vivian's in danger! Godly Genius, aren't we going to save her?" The men surrounding Rocky immediately grew frantic and uneasy when they saw this. They knew they had to follow the plan and stay back, letting Vivian lure the enemy alone.
Their whole scheme depended on Vivian's success!
But things were starting to grow dire for them. Everyone was deathly pale and was in a cold sweat as the Spiritual Power Absorbing Stone sucked up all of their spiritual power.
She knew she had to play her part well since everyone was counting on her.
She mustered every drop of remaining strength she had and let out a defiant scream. Her body radiated a cold blue light and a gigantic ice phoenix shot out of her body.
"The spirit of the ice phoenix? She actually fused with the spirit of a legendary beast's descendant..." Tobias uttered to himself in awe.
A violent and icy whirlwind suddenly blew around Vivian, instantly freezing the mud and stone whirlpool, which saved her and her comrades from getting sucked into the crack where the flames spouted out.
"Hurry up and run away..." Vivian struggled to utter her order.
Without any second thoughts, they immediately broke free from their shackles and ran away as far as they could.
In only a few moments, Vivian was the only one left inside the whirlpool.
It took all her might to summon the spirit of the holy beast, leaving no energy for her to try and escape. The icy whirlwind surrounding her slowly grew weaker and weaker until it dissipated, causing the mud and stone whirlpool to defrost and churn violently once again.
"Well, that's the end of that," Tobias said with a sigh of relief. He expected a violent fight would break out when Vivian summoned the spirit of the holy beast, but he never saw her using her power to let her comrades flee to safety. Realizing her strength has probably been depleted, he let out a sly smile.
Eager to finish her off, Tobias immediately released the furious demon shadow which rushed down the mud and stone whirlpool.
Weak and frail, Vivian managed to put up a spiritual power barrier to try and block the oncoming attack.
But as expected, the barrier was easily broken. With the shadows quickly gaining on her, she saw no other choice and lunged towards the crack where the flames spouted out.
Her body was instantly engulfed in flames, killing her in a matter of seconds.
"Miss Vivian..." Every member of the united guard team cried in shock. Only a handful of people knew that this was actually part of the plan.
"Ha-ha!" Seeing Vivian being devoured in flames, Tobias couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh. The guard team of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief had lost their only leader and only high-level Spiritual Emperor. They surely didn't stand a chance against him now.
Panic and fear struck at the guards' hearts when they saw her die.
"Who will fight me now?" Tobias gloated in front of them with his arms wide open.
Everyone glanced over each other, looking at Rocky.
"We still have to follow the plan," Rocky ordered with a blank stare.
Several middle-level Spiritual Emperors looked at each other. Although they wanted to immediately check on Vivian, they knew that Rocky was next in command.
Without any questions, they quickly dispersed and did as they were told.
"Miss Vivian is dead. What are we waiting for? Let's run!"
"Let's escape! If we get captured, we'll experience something far worse than death!"
