Danseru screamed in pain.
Next to him was Butcher. He had already taken out his ax to cut the Forerunnerâs body in half.
Alex then reminded them, âI remember now! You have to chop off a Forerunnerâs head to kill it
completely.â
Butcher lifted his ax and chopped the head off.
Shift!
Danseur took his pants off and noticed that his wound had blackened. Shocked, he exclaimed, âItâs
poison. Oh sh*t, I wonât become one of the Shuraâs death army, right?â
Everyone looked extremely gloomy. Alex then formed a talisman in his hand and jumped into the
Zharvakko formation circle he just made.
Shing!
Rays of red light glistened as a formation circle with talismans floating around formed on the ground.
Alex said, âDonât worry, just stand in here, and youâll be better in a bit.â
Danseur hopped into the circle immediately.
At the same time, Alex felt as if flows of wishing power were being inserted into his body. Not just one,
but ten.
That meant that everyone except Snow had given Alex some wishing power.
In just a few moments, a puff of black smoke came out of Danseurâs wound as it healed at an
extremely rapid pace.
Danseur slapped the dust off his behind gently. âOh man, it healed!â
He then laughed and gave Alex a thumbs up. âYouâre amazing, bro! Itâs nice to have a doctor on the
team. I ainât gonna be scared of getting hurt anymore.â
Just then, the situation in the palace escalated. That last cry that Forerunner let out seemed to be a
signal. In just a few moments, heavy and rapid footsteps emerged from the depths of the palace.
There seemed to be numerous Forerunners lunging towards them from the turning point.
Butcher stood at the front and yelled, âThe main dish is here! Everyone, prepare for battle! We will risk
our lives to protect America!â
Bunty pouted, âWeâre not part of the Flying Eagles anymore, why do we have to cheer?â
Nora said, âWe may not be in the Flying Eagles, but our spirit didnât die along with our titles! Otherwise,
we would be disappointing all our brothers and sisters who died! â
In just a few secondsâ¦
âWield your sword and protect America with your life!â
Those nine encouraging words filled the halls, as the enemy came closer and closer to themâ¦
Boom!
The gory and horrific battle had begun. Within a minute, several heads of those Forerunners fell to the
ground.
Dealing with one on their own, the group was able to overcome these beasts with ease. The only
problem was that they had no idea how many were still in the palace. One kept coming after another as
if there would still be more no matter how many theyâd killed. More importantly, the Forerunners
seemed to strengthen themselves through cannibalism.
Five minutes later, there were thousands of heads onthe ground.
However, their killing speed started slowing down, and there were different types of Forerunners with
varying strengths. The precious ones only required one attack to chop off their head. Yet, now, they
needed to swing their swords twice to do so.
âThis is bad. Weâre going to be exhausted!â Fairy Doctor moaned.
Not only were the others out of strength but Alex was getting drained out as well. Since he was the
âweakest,â he was basically⦠the one they had to protect. Moreover, the entrance wasnât big enough
for the whole team, and he didnât even get the chance to slay any of these beasts.
However, maintaining the Zharvakko talisman formation was draining him faster than everyone else. If
he didnât receive that gift from the Pindola, he wouldâve fainted by now.
It was fortunate that these people could still help increase his divine power despite fighting off the
enemies.
Nora said, âWould killing them accidentally produce extremely powerful Forerunners?â
Alex, on the other hand, noticed some energy flowing underneath the palace. Upon further inspection,
he realized that this place was just one big formation circle.
He rushed to observe it and yelled back to the team, âI have an idea! This place is a big formation circle
and the spiritual ice stones are the source of its power! This palace is a Forerunner hatchery! We can
use its power to blow up both the formation and this palace itself!â
