Late

Two days have passed and the Blood sect army came knocking on Avalon kingdom's walls. Only two thousand meters separated the army from the wall. It was surrounded from all directions. Luckily, Avalon was prepared. Thanks to Elizabeth supervising the preparations herself, they manage to finish everything in one day. However, the danger was still here. Finishing early didn't change the fact that they were being attacked.

"Why don't you guys give up already?!" A man came closer and closer to the wall, his voice sounded strong even from far away. When he was about 500 meters away, a lightning arrow hit him in the head. Oliver, who has been training for two years, didn't even give him the chance to get one step closer. He didn't even warn him.

Oliver was another surprise for the Avalon kingdom. Only two years have passed, yet he managed to become a cultivator at Earth Establishment level 6. His speed was no slower than Griffin's or any noble who cultivated from a young age.

"You should respect your elders, boy." The man who was hit by an arrow simply stood still. The lightning arrow crumbled away instead of injuring him. Oliver was not shocked at all. The man was a Heavenly Establishment cultivator, and the arrow only served as a warning.

"Respect is earned. Blood sect will never be worthy of our respect." Eric who was standing on the wall alongside the other flew, and stood right in front of the man. The man in front of him was not the one who injured Leonard, but he wasn't a pushover. Both of clashed, announcing the start of the war.

Elizabeth, Griffin, Sebas, and the seven remaining Elders of Glory sect all engaged the enemy in battle. Bella was not allowed to fight, as she only hit King Establishment level 4. Her speed was also stunning, but Oliver took the spotlight. Becky also managed to achieve Earth Establishment level 9 after cultivating hard for two years. She was tasked with the protection of Bella.

Avalon kingdom used all of the available militants. Sect disciples and army soldiers. Even the cultivators that weren't enlisted in any of those joined them in order to protect the kingdom. However, the enemy numbers were too overwhelming. The enemy had both monsters and cultivators; it wasn't going to be an easy fight.

"Focus on reducing the number of monsters first! Be careful of the ones that can hide underground!" Eric gave the orders while fighting the man. The man had a higher cultivation, but they were even. Both of them fought for a while, and Eric was gaining the upper hand. Griffin and the others were also fighting strong opponents, monsters, and humans.

"Let me in on the fun!" a man suddenly appeared behind Eric's enemy. Eric was surprised but managed to react in time.

"You bastard!" Eric recognized him as the man that took Leonard's arm. He became furious the moment he saw. Unfortunately, fighting two strong opponents was too much for Eric. Yet, before they could even fatally injure him, an old man joined the fight by flying like a white arrow. He knocked away the man using Leonard's weapon.

"I'm not going to let you bastards do whatever you want!" he spoke to them while standing next to Eric.

"My my. It's the all-seeing Edmund. It's a pleasure to meet you." Eric's first opponent recognized the old man. It was Edmund whom Ed had met on the tenth floor of the Tower of Strength. He was the one looking for Ed every day for the past eight months.

"It's not my pleasure." Edmund snorted while looking at him.

"I thought we told you not to get involved. We don't want bystanders to get hurt in our affairs." Eric scolded him for joining a war that didn't concern him.

"But it is my affair. Edward saved my life, how can I stand by and let his brother get killed." Edmund didn't forget the help he received from Ed.

"Sigh. Do what you want. Still thanks for helping me." Eric was not an ungrateful person. He knew that if he kept fighting those two, it wouldn't end in a good way for him.

"You bastard!!" Leonard's enemy appeared again. This time much angrier, as if he was crazy.

"No time for chit-chat I see." Both Eric and Edmund started fighting the two of them. Sadly, the man was using Leonard's two greatswords. Which are of a much higher quality than Edmund's weapon, a spear. Due to this, Edmund was forced to be on the defensive.

On the ground, Elizabeth and the others were doing their best to kill the monsters. But, the other cultivators were being in their way, stopping them from moving around so much. Oliver was also doing his best trying to shoot down flying monsters. His arrows were the fastest and strongest out of all the archers. He was especially adept at using Lightning magic. Yet little by little, they were being overwhelmed by the monsters. Disciples were being killed, soldiers as well. Many people were thinking of either deserting Avalon or joining Blood sect.

"Be careful, it's a Wyvern!" One of the disciples screamed. A Wyvern appeared in the sky, targeting those on the wall. Oliver jumped up in an incredible way and hit the wyvern with a bow as if he was using a club. The Wyvern spiraled to the ground, but Oliver didn't finish there. He sent a couple of elemental arrows, pinning it on the ground before killing it. He wasn't going to let anyone break through the walls. At least not those he could see.

Back on the castle grounds, Becky and Bella were struggling against a man. The man suddenly appeared and killed every one of the guards. Many butlers and maids fell on his hands as well.

"Miss Bella, please escape!" Becky knew she wasn't a match for the man. She could only hope that she can stall him enough for Bella to run away.

"She won't escape. She is my target after all." Hearing his words, Becky lunged at him in an attempt to block him. However, the left side of her chest and stomach were blown away, causing her to fall down on the ground. Her mouth opened up trying to speak to Bella, but no sounds came out.

"Nooooo!" Seeing her in that state, Bella didn't think straight. She couldn't. She raised the Katana her brother made her and slashed at the man. Yet, even with her full power, she couldn't even make him budge. The man hit Bella in the stomach, hard, causing the air to escape her lung. Her body attempted to save her from the pain, causing her to faint. The man then disappeared from the scene, taking Bella with him.

A couple of seconds later, a man came flying from far away. His speed was extremely high, yet he was completely silent. No one could feel or see him. He didn't stop even though he could see a war going on. He went straight to the castle; crashing the walls as he entered, fear slowly taking over him. 'I'm too late again!' He was cursing himself but still didn't lose focus. He quickly made his way towards Becky.
