"We have no choice but to go for it! We can't stay this passive!" Nadjeshda said through gritted teeth. She could only hope to find the right opportunity for Susanoo to suddenly unleash his ultimate move and take down Esdeath. Until then, they had to endure. There was no point without a surprise attack. Even if they could not defeat Esdeath, they had to kill Belic. Even if she died here, they could not let all their efforts go to waste.
Nadjeshda and Susanoo charged toward Esdeath. A smile appeared on Esdeath's face as she pressed one hand to the ground. "Pierce through!" An ice spike suddenly erupted from the ground, piercing through Susanoo's abdomen and suspending him in midair.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nadjeshda's mechanical right fist suddenly extended and struck at Esdeath. Esdeath shifted her feet and easily dodged Nadjeshda's attack. Then she grabbed the cable attached to Nadjeshda's mechanical arm and yanked her over, kicking Nadjeshda in the abdomen. Nadjeshda was sent flying backward. The two of them had not even lasted a single exchange against Esdeath.

Chen Fan hurried toward the cathedral. Several guards stood ahead, stationed there to prevent enemies from advancing.
A man in a suit sat among them, with a massive scythe standing beside him. The scythe was also an Imperial Arms. This man was one of Belic's subordinates, specifically responsible for eliminating Belic's competitors and anyone who opposed him. He was one of Belic's private soldiers.
When they saw Chen Fan approaching, cruel smiles appeared on their faces.
"Looks like an uninvited guest has arrived. We don't need to concern ourselves with what's happening inside, but stopping anyone else is our job. I don't know who you are, but please die here! Use the Black Tortoise Formation
