"Boom!! Boom boom boom!!!"
As Estelle and the others hurriedly led the Queen away from the balcony, thunderous explosions rang out behind them. Even the floor trembled, dust cascaded from the ceiling, and chaos erupted all around them.
"How are they fighting that fiercely over there?!"
Still shaken, Estelle glanced back, but all she could see were intermittent flashes of blades. In the darkness, icy glints crisscrossed in a tangled clash, while pink beams shot in from every direction. It felt as if they were standing on a battlefield.
"Those three are all dangerous. We need to get out of here, now!!"
Unlike the utterly bewildered Colos and Estelle, Sherazard had a much clearer understanding of just how perilous the battle was. That man called Lieutenant Lorenz possessed unfathomable strength, likely not much weaker than Master Cassius. The two girls, Illya and Little Black, were no weaker either. If those three truly fought with everything they had, this was absolutely not something they could get involved in—if they did not leave quickly, it would be too late!
However, no sooner had Sherazard spoken than, as if to prove her point, a crimson sword aura suddenly erupted from the darkness and slashed downward. At the same time, a gleaming golden sword-light shot skyward from the other side and met it head-on. The two collided. The crimson blade-light immediately vanished, while the golden glow was knocked off course and swept fiercely across the Main Hall.
"Boom-----!!!"
The next moment, the roof of the Royal Palace's Main Hall was swept clean away as if struck by a tornado, collapsing into rubble.
"...Run!!"
At Sherazard's command, she, the Queen, Estelle, and Colos fled in panic, hurriedly escaping the battlefield that had been ravaged by disaster.
Meanwhile, aboard the Blizzard, Fang Zheng watched the scene
