In the formation, phrases like "Damn it all" began to echo one after another. Seeing their plummeting morale, Amelia turned vexed.

"Hey, you guys… If you don't want to fight, just go home. No one is forcing you to stay here."

Amelia unsheathed her divine sword, the Light of Adurin, at her waist and made a phantom slash in front of her.

In an instant, the icy air vibrated. The freezing frontline warriors started to feel warmth returning to their bodies, their spirits uplifted.

"This is... Lady Amelia's divine blessing!"

Amelia's position as the imperial chief was not won over through her charming looks and ample bust, but through honour earned from countless battles.

The crowd remembered that their formation's core was the continent's strongest team. With them present, victory was guaranteed.

"God bless Bran! Victory belongs to the continent!" The soldiers encouraged themselves.

"Enough chatter, let's move." Frade, a man of few words, said sternly, "Victory or annihilation rests upon this moment. Gentlemen, let’s encourage each other.”

Following his speech, Frade picked up the Hammer of Light and stepped forward. His rugged voice roared, "I will lead the charge! For Bran continent!"

Serving as the party's lead tank, Frade strived with all his power. Visionary divine magic such as the 'King's Guard' and 'Angel's Resistance' were cast upon him, forming an indestructible human fortress.

At the same time, the archers in the formation released thousands of arrows, all heading towards the swooping Lord of Eternal Winter.

"Hmph, petty tricks." The Ice Phoenix swung its wings fiercely; countless icicles clashed with the attack from the Continental Alliance. Amid the dazzling glow and explosion, less than half of the icicles remained to pierce many brave warriors.

There was a slight disturbance in the crowd, but seeing Frade fighting bravely, they started to ignite the conviction of victory.

"Everyone keep attacking, create opportunities for our elites! God bless Bran!" A priest shouted, even as his legs had been severed by icicles, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit.

Other elites started their actions as well. Holding the divine sword, Amelia stomped heavily on the ground, jumped into the air, ready for a pincer attack from above.

This sword had slayed invading hell demons, repelled retaliating angels, and now, Amelia channeled all her power into it. Instantly, divine light illuminated the universe, humming loudly, displaying the full might of the imperial chief.

As Amelia leapt above the Lord of Eternal Winter's head, preparing to unleash her famed skill ‘Sky’s Lament’, the Lord of Eternal Winter made his move. Space distorted with a fierce inhalation, shattering nearby elites to dust. Only those on the outskirts were fortunate enough to escape.

The warped space disrupted Amelia’s sword skill. The slash landed on the Ice Phoenix, only managed to snap a few feathers off. The divine sword, Light of Adurin, was shattered by the spatial turbulence, turning into stardust.

The next moment, a terrifying and despairing hiss swept across the entire formation of the Continental Alliance.

Boom!

With just a single blow, the Alliance's elites were nearly all decimated. Frade, who led the charge, was turned into a pile of stiff corpse by the chaotic spatial disturbance.

"Master Ulsen!"

Amelia, who fell to the ground, crawled towards Frade's body despite her intense pain and stared incredulously.

How could this…

"Heh, not bad." The Ice Phoenix manipulated the storm to lift Amelia into the air, eyeing her with interest, "This is the first time I've been hurt by a human… Even if it's just a few feathers, I find you very interesting.”

“Let me taste the flavour of an interesting human being. Hahahahaha…”

The Ice Phoenix cackled chillingly, tossed Amelia into the air and opened its mouth widely.

Am I going to meet my end, too?

Amelia’s life flashed through her mind...

There are still so many pornographic novels... No, divine scriptures that I haven't studied. There are so many puppies... No, so many poor people waiting for me to save them. I won't concede to death just like this!

Amelia closed her eyes, about to become food for the Lord of Eternal Winter. However, no attack came.

A fireball hit the Ice Phoenix's beak. A melodious, magnetic male voice sounded from afar.

"Beast! Show some mercy!"
