A torrent of bullets transformed into a curtain of rain, sweeping away layer after layer of the Fear Legion's claws.
But these minions of the Fear Legion seemed to be born without the emotion of fear; they trampled over the corpses of their comrades and flew madly toward the War Fortress.
There were simply too many of these minions; even if the Arbiter closed their eyes and pulled the trigger, every energy bullet would hit one of the Legion's minions.
Fortunately, the Crimson Firearm Weapon has a significant advantage.
As long as the Arbiter ' Mana is not exhausted, they can fire indefinitely without interruption.
Figo fired several shots at his minions, the energy grenades blasting large gaps in the swarm, but they were quickly filled in by subsequent Legion minions.
"Wow, that's insane!"
He deactivated the Grenade Launcher and shouted, "On my command, switch weapons!"
The Arbiter immediately dispersed their crimson weapons, and crimson Mana energy condensed in their hands.
The next second, the ball of light dissipated, revealing an identical new crimson weapon.
Figo raised the new crimson weapon and pointed it at his army of minions.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Sizzle! Sizzle!'
Two thin energy transmission tubes suddenly extended from the stock of the weapon and plunged directly into his chest.
"Fire!!!"
With a loud shout, nearly a hundred long, crimson flames shot out from the muzzle of the gun, instantly forming a wall of flames.
The legion's minions crashed headlong into the wall of flames, immediately screeching and turning into charred corpses that fell to the ground.
Powered by the Arbiter ' own Mana, and through numerous energy-saving, efficiency-enhancing, burst-burst, and Mana tide inscriptions on the Flamethrower, this terrifying crimson wall of flames became a permanent fixture, firmly blocking the endless Fear Legion outside.
At this moment, Kaecilius, who hadn't made a move until now, suddenly stood up.
He formed a hand seal and with a 'whoosh' drew back a long, Crimson Veil above the heads of the Arbiter.
'Tear~'
Ten terrifying claw-like beams appeared out of thin air, instantly tearing apart the Crimson Veil above Figo's head.
"You ants, taste the fear of death!"
With a snarl-like roar that exploded in Figo's ears, ten terrifying claws appeared on his head in the blink of an eye.
In that instant, Figo seemed to hear the sound of his hair being chopped off by sharp claws.
Yet his face showed no fear; he continued to frantically pull the trigger, burning the claws of the Fear Legion.
At that moment, a crystal-clear, scarlet longsword, resembling a work of art, appeared silently.
'Sizzle~'
The sharp sword light sliced through the air, aiming at the wrist connected to the ten claws.
"Snort!"
A faint angry snort echoed in the air, and the ten sharp claws vanished instantly, the sword light striking empty air.
Kaecilius, holding a crimson longsword, looked up at the sky.
Beyond the Crimson Veil, the colossal body of the Fear Lord Bethus, gradually emerged.
Looking down at the narrow sword scar on its wrist, its orange-yellow pupils flickered violently a few times.
"I never imagined that such a master as you would be hidden in this small castle!"
"The fear of the strong excites me even more!" It wrapped its arms around its body, its massive form disappearing into the air like a drop of water.
Bethus's morbid laughter echoed in Kaecilius's ears, "Guess which direction I'll attack you from..."
"Hehehe~ Feel the fear of the unknown!"
Kaecilius stood with his sword drawn, his nerves on edge, ready to face any attack that might come at any moment.
Suddenly, a scream came from not far away.
"Ah!!!"
A Arbiter was instantly cut in half at the waist by claws that appeared out of nowhere.
Looking at his standing lower body, the dying Arbiter let out a terrified wail.
"No! My body!!!"
The Arbiter around him were so startled that they instantly released their grip on the triggers.
" Harris, oh no!"
At that moment, Bethus's cunning and triumphant shriek echoed through the air.
"Hehehe~ Foolish delivery, you're so easy to fool~~"
Kaecilius's expression changed, and he flashed to the side of the Arbiter had been cut in half at the waist.
Harris, his face contorted in agony, pleaded, "Give me a quick death, sir!"
"I'm sorry...!" Kaecilius said in a deep voice, and then a dazzling crimson sword light flashed, and Harris's head rolled off.
Bethus's voice rang out again.
"Ah, the taste of fear is absolutely wonderful!"
"The fears of Earth Human seem to have an exceptionally rich flavor."
"Hehehe~ Come on, let the fear continue!"
Kaecilius observed the Arbiter around him. Because of Harris's unexpected and tragic death, a hint of fear inevitably appeared on their faces, and even their subsequent attacks began to become intermittent.
If it weren't for the help of other Arbiter, the Fear Legion's minions would likely have broken through here.
Kaecilius knew that if he didn't deal with the Fear Lord Bethus soon, the situation would only get worse.
So he quickly formed hand seals, and a series of Mind-Calming Secret Art entered the bodies of the Arbiter who were shrouded in fear.
The effects of the Secret Art were immediate, and the Arbiter were instantly invigorated.
"Thank you for your help, sir!"
They expressed their gratitude to Kaecilius, then unleashed their full power with fierce expressions.
'Boom! Boom! Boom!'
Several crimson flames instantly turned violent, wiping out the terrifying minions in front of them.
But soon, the Legion's minions were replenished.
"Huh?! That's a clever trick!"
Hidden in the Shadow Space, Bethus watched Kaecilius's decisive and effective actions and couldn't help but praise him.
"But there are nearly a hundred targets here. How many can you protect next?"
Kaecilius coldly released the crimson longsword from his hand, letting it hover in front of him.
He formed a mudra with his hands, his ten fingers blooming like lotus flowers.
"Shadow Rift Solidifies, One Transforms into a Hundred!"
" Shadow-Splitting Form-Duplicating Incantation!"
As his incantation ended, the scarlet longsword suddenly began to vibrate violently.
The next instant, the crimson longsword shattered into a hundred points of light like bubbles.
'Swish! Swish! Swish!'
These one hundred points of light instantly flew to the sky above each of the Arbiter on the city wall.
Immediately afterwards, each point of light rapidly expanded, transforming into a crimson longsword...
'Buzz~'
The crimson longsword projected a scarlet light barrier that protected each of the Arbiter.
That wasn't all. Kaecilius seemed to have sensed the Fear Lord's hidden methods. He formed another hand seal and let out a soft shout.
" Eternal Crimson Flames, Ignite!"
The Crimson Veil above their heads, which stretched like a long dragon, suddenly burst into crimson flames.
Then, the entire Crimson Veil, like a living dragon, continuously coiled and swirled above their heads.
Bethus, Invisibility in the Shadow Space, saw this and gave a cunning smile before vanishing into the Shadow Space in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, Kaecilius heard its sinister laughter.
"Hehehe~ What a brilliant move!"
"Unfortunately, you overlooked one point..."
Kaecilius was startled and immediately became more alert.
The next second, something unexpected happened!
A long crack suddenly appeared in the ground of the city wall.
The Arbiter suddenly felt their feet sink and they all fell to the ground.
"Not good!" Kaecilius's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned to look outside the city walls.
With the crimson flame wall gone, the Fear Legion's minions surged madly into the War Fortress.
