Starting from primitive world, building the strongest divine kingdom

Tulane pondered for a moment. "This may be a treasure sealed with formidable power, inadvertently triggered by us, now temporarily confined."

Enzo sighed in relief, "Regardless, we must first subdue him, then devise a solution to the crises of the Ancestor Meat and the Magic Circle."

The group bound the leader of the Sloth Temple before turning their attention to the matters concerning the Ancestor Meat and the Magic Circle.

After considerable effort, Patricia finally uncovered the source of the dark seeds and employed her magic to eradicate them.

The Ancestor Meat and the Magic Circle gradually regained their tranquility, the radiant light no longer flickering.

"At last, this significant trouble has been resolved." Enzo wiped the sweat from his brow.

Tulane regarded the bound leader of the Sloth Temple, "Now it's time to interrogate him thoroughly and discern what else he might know."

Enzo and the others approached the leader, unsealing his mouth.

"Speak, what other plots do you have?" Enzo demanded sternly.

The Sloth Temple leader scoffed, "You'll not extract any information from me."

Matilda replied with a sneer, "Your silence is of no consequence.We have ways to make you talk."

At that moment, a subordinate rushed in to report. "My Lord, the Pride Temple and the Umbra Corps have shown new movements. They seem to be gathering forces, preparing to launch another assault against us."

The faces of Enzo and his companions fell,"These fiends are truly relentless. It appears we are once more on the brink of a great battle."

Tulane contemplated for a while. "This time, we cannot afford to be passively defensive as before. We must take the initiative and disrupt their plans."

Enzo nodded. "Brother Tulane is right. Let us first organize matters here, then seek their stronghold." Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e|m-p| y r

The group imprisoned the leader of the Sloth Temple in a cell, and then began preparations for their expedition.

They selected a cadre of elite warriors within the confines of Rage Temple, equipping themselves with ample weapons and supplies, before setting forth towards the Temple of Pride and the Umbra Corps.

Along the way, Enzo and his companions proceeded with utmost caution, ever vigilant against the threat of enemy ambush.

As they ventured into a mysterious forest, an eerie laughter echoed through the air.

"Do you truly believe you can find us? How naive." a voice emerged from the depths of the woods.

Gripping their weapons tightly, Enzo and his comrades scanned their surroundings warily. "Who goes there? Step into the light!"

From the shadows, a group of figures gradually emerged—none other than the agents of the Umbra Corps.

"Have you laid a trap for us here?" Tulane inquired.

The leader of the Umbra Corps responded with a cold chuckle, "Indeed, this shall be your final resting place."

With that, the Umbra Corps launched a fierce assault against Enzo and his allies.

Undeterred, Enzo and his companions unleashed their spells and retaliated, engaging in a fierce battle with the Umbra Corps.

During the fray, Enzo noted that the Umbra Corps exhibited a strangely elusive style of combat, seemingly able to traverse through shadows with ease, making them difficult to pin down.

"Stay alert, everyone. Their attacks emanate from the shadows." Enzo cautioned.

Matilda invoked her icy divine arts, encasing the ground in a layer of frost, attempting to halt the Umbra Corps' shadowy maneuvers.

However, the Umbra Corps deftly capitalized on the reflections from the ice, executing their attacks with even greater agility.

"This strategy won't suffice. We must uncover their weakness." Kosor declared.

Amidst the skirmish, Tulane scrutinized the Umbra Corps' movements, noting, "I've observed that when they traverse through shadows, there's a fleeting moment of pause. We can exploit that opportunity to strike."

Enzo's eyes gleamed with realization. "Excellent, everyone, remain vigilant and seize the moment."

Heeding Tulane's guidance, the group began to carefully monitor the movements of the Umbra Corps.

As an Umbra Corps member once again traversed the shadows, Enzo and his companions seized the moment, launching a coordinated attack that successfully struck the foe.

"Aha! It seems you too have your vulnerabilities." Kosor exclaimed with exuberance.

The leader of the Umbra Corps, witnessing his subordinate's fall, darkened with fury. "Do not revel in your triumph. This is merely the beginning."

With a sweeping gesture, ominous black clouds materialized in the sky, crackling with dark lightning that surged toward Enzo and his allies.

"What manner of assault is this? It's formidable!" Matilda cried out.

Tulane's expression grew somber, "This is an advanced spell of Umbra power. Everyone, be cautious and evade!"

Enzo and his companions hurriedly cast evasion spells, yet the reach of the dark lightning was vast, and several warriors were struck, sustaining grave injuries.

"We cannot allow them to continue this onslaught. We must find a way to dispel those clouds." Enzo urged anxiously.

Patricia pondered for a moment. "I shall attempt to wield light magic to disperse the clouds."

As Patricia unleashed her light magic, a brilliant beam surged towards the darkness. Upon contact, the light erupted in a dazzling display, causing the clouds to gradually dissipate.

"Well done, Patricia!" Enzo praised.

The leader of the Umbra Corps, enraged at the unraveling of his spell, roared, "You dare to unravel my magic? I shall confront you myself!"

He charged directly at Enzo and his companions, wielding a black blade that shimmered ominously, exuding an icy chill.

Enzo met him head-on, engaging in a fierce melee with the Umbra Corps leader.

Their strikes were swift and blinding, a whirlwind of combat.

In a crucial moment, Tulane cast a spatial binding spell, momentarily ensnaring the Umbra Corps leader.

"Quick, strike him now!" Tulane shouted.

Seizing the opportunity, Enzo and his allies launched their assault, succeeding in severely wounding the leader, who collapsed to the ground.

"You…" The leader of the Umbra Corps gaped in disbelief, unable to fathom his impending defeat.

Enzo regarded the gravely wounded leader of the Umbra Corps and declared, "Your plot shall not prevail. From this moment forth, we shall dismantle your Corps one by one."

Just then, the distant sound of galloping hooves echoed through the air.

"This is troubling. It may be the forces of the Pride Temple." Kosor remarked.

Instantly, Enzo and his companions steeled themselves, preparing for the inevitable confrontation. The Pride Temple's contingent advanced, their leader astride a magnificent steed, a look of haughty pride etched upon his face as he glared at Enzo and his comrades.

"Enzo, do you truly believe you can escape our reckoning? Today marks your end!" the leader of the Pride Temple bellowed.

Enzo responded with a scornful smirk, "Your repeated incursions have yielded naught but misfortune. Today shall be no exception!"

Words exchanged in stark opposition ignited an immediate clash. The mages of the Pride Temple began chanting incantations, unleashing a dazzling display of magical assaults upon Enzo and his allies, including fireballs, ice arrows, and chains of lightning.

Matilda swiftly formed hand seals, conjuring an ice wall before her. "Witness the fortitude of my ice barrier. Let us see if it withstands your onslaught!" As the ice wall rose, magical assaults collided against it, sending shards of ice cascading through the air.

Kosor brandished his great sword, charging towards the foe like a whirlwind. "I shall shatter their Magic Circle!" he roared, cleaving through spells aimed at him while shouting, "Bring forth as many as you will. I shall break them all!"

Patricia, positioned at the rear, anxiously cast supportive spells to enhance her companions' defenses and strength. "Everyone, give your all. I shall stand unwaveringly by your side!" Beads of sweat adorned her forehead, her hands trembled slightly, yet her gaze remained resolute.

Meanwhile, Tulane employed spatial magic to disrupt the casting of the Pride Temple's mages. "Observe as I unravel your rhythm!"Only then did he begin to dance with both hands, causing the surrounding space to warp. Some spells cast by the mages of the Pride Temple were deflected into unforeseen directions, igniting a wave of chaos.

Enzo summoned elemental energy, launching bursts of powerful waves into the throng of the Pride Temple. "Let me show you my true power!" Wherever the waves struck, enemies were sent sprawling to the ground.

However, the Pride Temple would not yield easily. Their warriors formed a tight formation, advancing steadily toward Enzo and his companions. Meanwhile, their priests stood at the rear, healing the wounded fighters and restoring their combat effectiveness.

Amidst the fierce battle, Enzo noticed that several guards were closely protecting the Pride Temple leader, and they appeared to be enveloped in a unique magical shield.

"First, let's eliminate the guards surrounding their leader!" Enzo commanded.

Upon hearing this, Matilda cast an ice piercing spell, unleashing a flurry of ice shards toward the guards. "Let's see if my icicles can pierce their shields!"

Kosor charged at the guards, his great sword clashing against their weapons, sending sparks flying. "I'll engage them in close combat!"

Meanwhile, Tulane searched for an opportunity, preparing to use spatial magic to temporarily ensnare the guards. "Once I trap them, unleash all your attacks!"

Patricia amplified her supportive spells, enhancing the potency of Matilda and Kosor's strikes."Go for it, I'm boosting your power!"

After a fierce struggle, Enzo and his allies finally breached the guards' defenses, standing face to face with the leader of the Pride Temple.

"Your schemes will not prevail!" Enzo glared fiercely at the Pride Temple leader.

"Hmph, let's see who is truly superior!" As the Pride Temple leader spoke, he unleashed a powerful sacred magic, radiating blinding light.

Enzo summoned all of his elemental energy to counter it, the two forces clashing violently, creating a surge of energy that sent everyone around them staggering.

Just as both sides were at an impasse, a peculiar beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky, accompanied by a commanding voice,"Cease this at once!"

Everyone was momentarily taken aback, lifting their gazes toward the heavens. Descending slowly was an elderly figure, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Who are you?" Enzo inquired warily.

The elder surveyed Enzo, then turned his gaze to the Pride Temple and Umbra Corps representatives. "I am the envoy of the Temple of the Seven Gods from the planet Alfa. Your conflict has disrupted the peace and order of this world. Accompany me back to Alfa, where you shall face judgment!"

The leader of the Pride Temple retorted defiantly, "Why should we heed your call? We have our own grievances to settle!"

The elder responded sternly, "Your actions have transgressed the laws of the planet. Should you refuse compliance, you will face even harsher consequences!"

After a moment of contemplation, Enzo addressed the elder, "Very well, we are willing to return to Alfa, but we demand to bring forth charges against the Pride Temple and the Sloth Temple!"

The elder nodded, "Agreed. Everything will be addressed justly during the trial."
