"Zain! We have to buy more time for Odin," Layla strongly urged upon seeing that Rocky was not yet ready to engage the demoness.
"Are you kidding me? Are you too blind to see that this woman is on a different level? If we continue going against her, we are just courting death!" Zain could not help but shake his head and refuse. After experiencing the demoness's might first hand, he feared for his life. After all, even Anya and Rubygon were not able to stop or slow the demoness down, let alone them.
"Weren't you the one who proposed to help Odin earlier?" Layla could not believe what she just heard. She could just glare at Zain in frustration.
"I know! But what do you want me to do? I did not expect that she would be this strong!" Zain argued, revealing a disdainful expression on his face. At first, when he saw that Anya and Rubygon could somehow suppress the demoness, he thought that he could fish in troubled waters. After all, once the demoness was defeated, he could immediately take the chance to enter the Demon Sealing Palace.
However, things did not turn out the way he expected. Later on, they were completely overwhelmed by the demoness that even Anya and Rubygon were not able to do anything. Hence, he knew that if he continued struggling against her, he was just digging his own grave.
After seeing that Zain had been fully void of the will to fight, Layla cursed inwardly and clenched her fists. She mustered her courage and told the powerful masters under her command, "Make sure to protect Odin! I will try to confront that woman and buy as much time as possible."
Upon saying that, she instantly flew towards the demoness and faced her.
Seeing that the princess was recklessly coming for her, the demoness sneered, "I can't tell if you're really brave or just plain stupid. Oh well, it doesn't matter. You are willingly presenting yourself before me, so I'll absorb your spiritual energy first!"
Of course, Layla knew who she was dealing with, and she would not just stand still and wait for her death. Thus, she immediately employed her best enchanted barrier technique and attempted to seal the demoness. Unfortunately, the gap between their strengths was so huge. Even before she could create the barrier, the demoness had already made her move, turned into black fog, and enveloped the princess. In an instant, Layla was restrained, and even though she tried her hardest to free herself, she was totally incapacitated.
"Your Royal Highness!" Immediately after seeing Layla's condition, Valeria rushed forth without hesitation and tried to release the princess from the demoness's grasp.
"Ha! Another stupid girl is about to die!" Not taking Valeria seriously, the demoness just saw her as an annoying sacrifice that could be crushed easily. Then, the demoness separated a part of the black fog and quickly trapped Valeria in it.
Therefore, the two girls were now imprisoned in the black fog. Moreover, their spiritual power was rapidly losing from being extracted.
At this moment, when Rocky saw that both Valeria and Layla were in great danger, he deemed that he had to take action right away. It did not matter even if he had not accumulated enough spiritual power to wield the God-killing Sword. He immediately soared into the air and rushed towards the demoness. In a flash, he waved the sword with all his strength and slashed it towards her.
The divine power of the God-killing Sword was unleashed, bursting out an ultimate power that turned into a huge golden shadow as if it was the God of War that descended from the skies.
At the same time, the God of War held the God-killing Sword that thrust towards the ground. The impact of this strike covered a radius of a thousand meters, and it shook both heaven and earth until they almost collapsed.
Boom!
As soon as the God-killing Sword fell to the ground, it produced an astonishing force, sweeping away everything, like a vicious tidal wave.
Then, an enormous crescent-shaped sword radiance emerged from the ground and bolted directly towards the demoness.
"What the hell? Is this sword a holy treasure of the divine race? But how could he possibly possess and use it?!" She never thought that Rocky was in possession of this holy treasure of the divine race. After all, it would be impossible for any ordinary member of the Shura Race to wield and control it. Therefore, she realized that Rocky must have been someone extraordinary.
Now that she knew that her opponents carried the terrifying holy treasure of the divine race, she did not dare to act rashly. She immediately let go of Valeria and Layla, and hurriedly retreated to avoid the power of the God-killing Sword.
However, it was a bit too late for her. The power of the God-killing Sword could cover a massive range, so the demoness could not completely avoid it. Left with no choice, she withdrew the power of her Spiritual Domain and used it to form a barrier around her so that she could protect herself from the impact.
