Guild Wars

Chapter 1165: The Battle - End Prev

"Utter rubbish! Look at yourself, Dante Morningstar, you can barely stand after being stabbed in the back by your own brother! How can you protect anyone like this?" Lingtian ridiculed with an arrogant look.

Fyre and Lilith gritted their teeth in hatred. Looking at Lingtian, who was happily running his mouth while having something actually dangerous enough to back it up. This was not how things usually went, with them being the ones stepping on Lingtian's head all the time.

Dante sighed and patted the shoulders of Fyre and Lilith gently. To their surprise, he managed to stand upright on his own, though one could see him grimace in pain. Even more shocking was the fact that the wound on his chest was recovering quite fast.

He glanced at Lingtian then at the Primogenitor Giant beneath him and shook his head. "If this is your trump card, Lingtian, I must say it's a powerful one. However, it won't last, given that its costs must be hard to bear."

Lingtian's wild smile changed as he glanced behind him to a certain spot. What he saw made his expression harden as his eyes gleamed and he roared brutally.

"I will kill you all in no time!"

The Primogenitor Giant began to move wildly, swinging its arms left and right while targeting the Lucifer Lineage members still on the battlefields. These members glanced at the incoming attacks with fear and despair, not knowing how they would avoid it this time.

"Get back, everyone!" Dominic bellowed as he appeared in his Horned Demon form, roaring as he swung his fist to meet the one that was nearly three times larger than his.

KRAKOOM!

The ensuing shockwave was immense and the gigantic fist was forced to stop for a split second before continuing forward unabated. In the end, Dominic was once again sent flying, digging a deep trench in the ground as he spat out mouthfuls of boiling blood.

There was no pain on his face, only deep shock and confusion. "How can it be so strong?"

In terms of physical strength, Dominic did not dare to say that he was number 1, but at least for the past few decades, he had been able to smash anyone in front of him into paste. Only resilient ones like Lingtian could withstand his blows, and that was not for long.

"Don't waste your strength, brother, it is not something we can handle on our own. We need to work together to take this behemoth down!" Dante said as he walked over shakily towards Dominic.

Dominic tensed when he saw his brother walk over, ready to fight back even though he was severely wounded. However, he was left dumbfounded when Dante offered him a hand with a smile.

"I need your help, Dom. I need you to have my back again as you always did."

Looking up at his brother like this, Dominic felt like nothing in this world was brighter than Dante at this moment. His eyes watered as he suddenly remembered why, from a young age, he had always idolized his brother.

Dominic took the hand and was pulled up by Dante who patted him on the shoulder. Even though he was smiling, his brother nodded at him seriously.

"After this, we will work together to make things right. I owe you, Isabella, and Gremory so much, but I can only begin to make amends after we solve this threat."

Dominic hesitated and nodded. In truth, things had escalated to a point where he didn't have control over the situation anymore, so once again, he fell into the bad habit of listening to his brother first and thinking later.

Dante nodded and turned to the remaining members of the Lucifer Lineage, his majestic demeanor returning. "Everyone, retreat! Hold the fort in the clan territory and leave this to me!"

The warriors of the Lucifer Lineage heard this and felt relief in their hearts, obeying immediately. Naturally, Lingtian was most unwilling to see this, seeing as the Pangu lineage had suffered such huge losses compared to the Lucifer Lineage and achieved nothing.

"Where do you think you're going?!" he bellowed as he launched another blow towards the group, aiming to turn them into meatpaste.

However, his blow was blocked by Dante who appeared in its path and activated his bloodline power, transforming into a Horned Demon with its chest gaping. One could see his slowly beating heart that was leaking power every second, but Dante only spat out a mouthful of blood as he held the blow back.

The shockwave alone sent the Lucifer Lineage members flying, which at least had the effect of making them evacuate faster. Lingtian's eyes narrowed with shock as he saw this, not believing that this fellow who had been so critically wounded could manage this.

"Impossible! How can you still transform?!" Lingtian asked with shock.

Dante grinned and showed his bloody teeth. "At the end of the day, my brother is my brother. He only lightly struck my heart enough to disable me, not cripple me completely."

Lingtian heard this and felt hatred, glancing at Dominic who was recovering after his severe injury. "Dominic Morningstar, no wonder your daughter was used as a scapegoat by our own brother, you are incompetent at everything you do!"

His words made the faces of Fyre and Lilith, who were treating Dominic and helping the others evacuate, change greatly. Meanwhile, Dante was immediately made furious as he roared with anger.

"How dare you, dog Lingtian?!" Dante bellowed as he pushed the primogenitor giant back using all his force, causing him to spit even more blood.

Lingtian was surprised by this feat and turned back to glance at something. His face became even grimmer as he decided to stop wasting time, raising the arm of the primogenitor giant and unleashing a heavy blow towards Dante.

BANG!

The clan leader was sent flying just like Dominic had, severely injured as he dug his own groove in the ground just like his brother. When Dante stopped, his body began to smoke as his horned demon form was forcibly dispelled and his orifices began to leak blood.

"Dante!" Lilith cried out with worry, rushing over after securing the other Lineage members.

"Watch out!" Fyre cried out as she sent her Blue Water Adder towards Lilith.

Lilith turned to see a giant fist coming towards her, and only had time to establish a psychic barrier around her body. Before she could fortify it, she was struck down to the ground, causing the barrier to crack slightly and shrink.

Immediately, Lilith screamed in agony as blood leaked from her eyes, nose, and ears, part of her brain matter mixed within. The primogenitor giant didn't stop there and raised its fist to smash her barrier open and crush her, but was met with the Blue Water Adder's shield.

BOOM!

The fist and water shield met, sizzling and causing vapor to appear. The water shield was not able to block the fist for long, only giving Fyre enough time to grab Lilith away from the target zone before it crashed through.

The Blue Water Adder's lower torso was smashed into meat paste, causing it to hiss in agony while Fyre herself flustered and coughed out black blood, sharing the pain with her summon.

Before the Primogenitor Giant could smash it completely, Dominic appeared in his Horned Demon form and warded off its blow, causing his barely healed injuries to become terrible. At this point, whether it was Dante, Dominic, Fyre, or Lilith, they were all severely injured due to this one Primogenitor Giant.

However, Lingtian was no better as his face changed greatly. The Primogenitor Giant beneath him began to crumble into pieces, turning into dust and ash that disappeared within the wind.

This allowed one to see behind it, realizing that a heap of shriveled bodies appeared which were the members of the Primogenitor Inheritance who stayed behind to control the golems during the earlier fight.

Lingtian himself rose from the ground and pointed at the group opposite him. "Ha, I at least achieved my goal and injured each of you before the duration elapsed! Now hand over your brat for slaughtering or don't blame me for being cruel!"

Dante, who was panting, his eyes barely clear and his mind waning, forcibly sat up even as his body continued to smoke and shrink with each second. He glanced at the seemingly victorious Lingtian and spoke slowly.

"What a fool… even if we are injured… we haven't lost yet…"

Dominic also pushed himself to his feet while Fyre held up the severely wounded Lilith whose eyes were glazed over due to the mental damage she suffered. Even though they were like this, Lingtian was also severely injured from the earlier beatdown, only able to keep his life thanks to some slight recovery from the fusion with the Primogenitor Giant.

Yet despite this, he smiled strangely. "Really, you think? Hahaha, Dominic Morningstar, you didn't think you were my only fallback plan, did you?"

The faces of the four changed as they suddenly heard a baby's cry, Lilith reacting the strongest as her eyes widened crazily.
