On the other side, the battlefield did not stop for a moment because of the departure of others.
Captain Remington let out an angry roar, and the momentum around him rose like a raging wave. He avoided Joseph's claws that were swinging like crazy. His strong body approached with an agility that was inconsistent with his size, and his fist containing a huge force hit Joseph's chest hard.
The muffled sound of broken bones was clearly audible, and Joseph's chest collapsed. The whole person flew out like a kite with a broken string, and hit the ruins in the distance heavily. However, before Remington could pursue him, the ruined body stood up again amid a heart-wrenching sound of flesh and blood. The collapsed chest recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wounds healed quickly, as if the heavy blow just now was just an illusion.
"It's useless." Joseph's voice was hoarse and distorted, with a crazy expression on his face, "You can't kill me... you can't kill me!"
His vitality is incredibly tenacious. Every seemingly fatal injury will quickly recover, making him more and more difficult to deal with.
Moria's face was solemn, and he knew he couldn't delay it any longer. Although Joseph is exhausted, he is still the extraordinary person of Stage Five. The captain is brave and brave, but his power is limited after all. Facing this nearly immortal madman in front of him, defeat is only a matter of time.
He no longer hesitated and took out a delicate silver vial from his arms, which contained half a bottle of pale golden liquid. Without a moment's hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and drank the liquid in one gulp.
The moment the liquid entered his throat, Moria let out a suppressed groan. The looming dark spells on his body seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and quickly dimmed and disappeared after a violent flash. The young priest's originally slightly pale face regained some color, and in his light-colored eyes, the pure Radiance was no longer hindered, as bright as stars.
He clenched the sword in his hand and joined the battle in a flash.
Without the constraints of the curse, Moria's sword power became extremely fast and fierce. Each sword was wrapped with pure Radiance. When it was struck on Joseph's body, it would leave a sizzling wound with white smoke coming out. Radiance's power greatly curbed Joseph's terrifying recovery ability, causing his injuries to begin to accumulate.
The situation of the battle reversed instantly.
"Ahhh!" Joseph roared in pain. He felt the burning pain of Radiance in his body, and the madness in his eyes became more intense. He completely gave up on defense and allowed Remington's heavy punches and Moria's sword to leave hideous wounds on his body. He just used all his strength to pour all attacks on Remington.
Captain Remington was caught off guard and was forced to retreat continuously by Joseph's injury-for-injury style, which was full of dangers. When Moria saw this, he turned the sword in his hand and slashed out a condensed arc of light, accurately cutting off Joseph's right arm.
However, the severe pain of the broken arm did not seem to have any impact on Joseph. Instead, he let out a nervous and crazy laugh.
"Haha... hahahaha! It's useless! I told you, you can't kill me!" His scarlet single eye showed a kind of madness that was almost pity, "My death, my end, was taken away by Lord Kourt a long time ago! In exchange, I will bear this soul-rending curse forever until the day the world ends!"
His laughter was filled with endless pain and relief-like joy, as if death was a luxury for him.
"This curse tortures me all the time, but it also allows me to gain eternity!" Joseph opened his remaining left arm, as if embracing his own pain, "Every injury, every near death, will only bring me closer to the essence of power! And you will eventually die of exhaustion!"
His words revealed a harsh truth. He has long since run out of gas, and what supports his actions now is not his vitality, but the never-ending curse and pain.
Selwyn, who was watching the battle from a distance, frowned slightly. He could see that every time Joseph recovered, it was burning his cursed and twisted soul and spirituality to a deeper level. Moria and Remington just need to keep killing it, and victory is almost inevitable.
He withdrew his gaze and returned all his attention to the center of the storm in the distance. Intervening now would only waste the strength he had accumulated to deal with the real threat. He chose to believe in that Firstborn of the Temple.

In the opposite direction to the evacuation team, a petite figure was going up against the torrent of destruction.
Li Wen dexterously shuttled between the collapsing ruins under Witch State. The escaping energy turbulence and falling boulders whizzed past her, but they could not even touch the corners of her clothes.
Her amber pupils calmly stared at the earth-shattering battle in the distance, without the slightest fear in her heart, only a cold, almost indifferent calculation.
It is absolutely impossible to return empty-handed like this.
She spent so much time and energy coming to this Sunken City in order to find clues related to the corrupted original book. Now that the clues have not been found, she has been involved in a so-called fight between gods. If she cannot get enough rewards from it, then for her and Strategy Group's efforts, it will be the biggest failure and an unforgivable sin.
Poe Drian and Kourt are undoubtedly powerful, but Li Wen also sees through their true nature at this moment.
The end of the strong crossbow.
They are like two meteors that are about to burn out, burning for the last and most brilliant time. Their seemingly destructive power is just the last madness that comes back to light. The only thing that maintains their existence is their obsession with "Undying Flower".
And the "Undying Flower" floating in the center of the storm is the real protagonist.
Li Wen can feel that it is waiting patiently. It is like the most skilled hunter, watching with cold eyes as two male lions fight for it. It is absorbing the energy lost in their battle, analyzing the essence of their souls, and accumulating the last nutrients for its final transformation.
Once Poe Drian and Kourt completely burn themselves out, their power and Remnant Soul will become the last feast of this flower.
At that time, a terrifying existence that truly feeds on life, uses soul as nourishment, and transcends ordinary understanding will be born. The disaster that would result would be far more terrifying than two crazy Stage Seven Transcendents.
But crises are often accompanied by opportunities.
Li Wen's mouth curved slightly under the shadow of the hood.
The most dangerous moments often mean the biggest gains. The moment when the flower swallows the two strong men Remnant Soul and completes its final transformation, it may also be its most vulnerable and defenseless moment.
That was her chance.
She continued to move forward, her figure looking extremely small against the background of destruction, but as determined as a moth dying. Her target is the miraculous flower at the center of the storm, which is about to bring endless disasters and also contains infinite possibilities.
