Chapter 95 - crush down
But the destruction caused by the unknown figure did not last long. Suddenly, from the heavens above, countless lights—like radiant stars—descended toward the earth.
"Those... those are the Protectors!" Marian exclaimed, recognizing the figures gleaming in the sky.
The Protectors dove toward the inhuman giant, striking him with a powerful blow that sent the monstrous figure hurtling upward into the clouds. Without hesitation, the protectors leaped back from the shattered ground, and soon, an aerial battle erupted high in the sky, the clash of their powers echoing across the ruined kingdom.
"The Protectors should be able to handle this," Auran said, his tone calm but wary. "We need to leave and find a safe place."
But before his words could fully settle, Henry had already sprinted toward the devastated kingdom, his face hard with resolve. He couldn’t turn his back on the cries for help echoing from the rubble.
"Damn it... typical," Auran cursed under his breath. After a moment of tense hesitation, he followed.
"Count yourself lucky I can’t return to the Academy alone... and that we’re friends," he muttered quietly as he dashed after Henry.
Seeing the three rushing forward, the rest of their group had no choice but to follow tightly behind, their feet pounding against the trembling ground.

"Wait... I know that woman," one of the nobles muttered. "Isn’t she the Bloody Queen?"
