Mark picked up Eric and ran out of the square with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Eric's armor was cold and hard, which hurt Mark, but he didn't dare to stop. He just wanted to escape from this Shura field as soon as possible. In the square, chaotic shouts, the collision of weapons, and the roar of the ice beasts were intertwined, deafening. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people want to nauseate.

Selina waved the staff again, and the gem on the top of the staff flashed, and a golden light accurately hit a sphinx statue on the edge of the square. The statue made a loud noise and collapsed, and the rubble scattered, raising dust all over the sky. The collapsed statue just blocked the way of some ice beasts, buying precious time for Mark to escape. The buildings on the edge of the square were shaky in the impact, and obvious cracks appeared on the walls, as if they would collapse at any time. The terrified crowd fled everywhere, crying and cursing one after another, and the scene was in chaos.

Seeing this, Elvira's scarlet eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. Her slender fingers danced flexibly in the air, controlling the black silk thread. One part continued to attack Selina like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and the other part spread out like a spirit snake, controlling more ice beasts to chase Mark. Above the square, dark clouds rolled, covering the sky and the sun, as if foreshadowing a greater disaster was about to come. Several lightning bolts streaked across the sky, illuminating the square as bright as day, and also reflecting Elvira's hideous face.

Selina gritted her teeth and persisted, waving her staff like a residual image. She recited the spell quickly, and complex runes appeared in front of her, and then turned into golden light, laying layers of defensive magic on the square, like a copper wall, resisting the crazy attacks of black silk and ice beasts. Beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, her face was as pale as paper, her lips were cracked, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were still firm, without the slightest fear. The altar in the center of the square made a buzzing sound under the impact of the spell, as if responding to her prayers.

Mark stumbled to the edge of the square, his heart beating violently in his chest, as if it was about to break out of his body. He looked back and saw Selina surrounded by black silk and ice beasts, in danger. His heart tightened, and a strong sense of guilt surged in his heart. But he knew that now was not the time to hesitate, he had to take Eric away from here as soon as possible.

At this moment, a huge ice beast, covered with thick ice armor, blocked Mark's way like a hill. It let out a deafening roar, opened its bloody mouth, revealed its sharp fangs, and pounced on Mark. The buildings on the edge of the square trembled in its roar, as if they would collapse at any time.

Mark put Eric down, bent down to pick up a piece of gravel from the ground, and smashed it hard at the Ice Abyss Beast. The gravel hit the ice armor of the Ice Abyss Beast, making a dull sound. It did not cause much damage, but successfully attracted its attention. The Ice Abyss Beast was enraged and gave up attacking Eric, and rushed in the direction where Mark was running. Its huge body rushed around, smashing the buildings along the way, with gravel flying and dust flying.

Selina's magic power was almost exhausted at this time. She was pale and her body was shaky, but she still held on, trying to resist the attack of the Ice Abyss Beast. But she was no longer able to cast any defensive magic, and could only watch the Ice Abyss Beasts rushing towards her one by one.

At this critical moment, a black silk shot like lightning and hit Selina. Selina groaned, and her body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the altar in the center of the square heavily, making a loud noise. The holy stone on the altar flickered a few times, then gradually dimmed.

"Ahem..." Selina spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the holy stone on the altar red. She opened her eyes with difficulty, her eyes full of pain and unwillingness.

"Do you think... you can win?" Selina asked weakly, her voice thin as a thread.

Elvira smiled contemptuously and increased the strength of her feet. "The winner has been decided, what else do you have to say?"

Selina gritted her teeth and said nothing. She felt that her breathing was getting more and more difficult, and her consciousness began to blur.

The soldiers outside the square saw this scene, and they all drew their weapons and prepared to rush to rescue Selina. A soldier who looked like a captain raised his long sword and shouted loudly: "Protect the high priest! Charge!"

The soldiers shouted and rushed to the square, fighting fiercely with the Ice Abyss Beast. The sound of swords colliding, the roar of soldiers, and the roar of Ice Abyss Beast intertwined and resounded throughout the square.

However, there were too many Ice Abyss Beasts, and before they went crazy, they had a very good relationship with the soldiers. The soldiers couldn't bear to hurt the Ice Abyss Beasts, so they couldn't attack them freely, and it was difficult to break through their defenses.

Avella looked at the soldiers rushing up, and a trace of impatience flashed in her eyes. She controlled the black silk, one part continued to attack the soldiers, and the other part wrapped around Selina, slowly lifting her up.

"It's over." Avella whispered, with a trace of murderous intent in her eyes.
