After locating a ballista that was still intact, Gogris cast Arcane Mechanism Overload on it before aiming directly at Ava’s position and opening fire.

The rebel archers instantly descended into chaos.

"The enemy still has another Divine Chosen?"

Larson was completely stunned.

"Could this have been a trap all along?"

As one Divine Artifact after another was devoured, the progress of Incarnate Synergy Battle rose rapidly before finally stopping at sixty two percent.

At the same time, enormous corrupted dragon wings slowly unfolded.

A long skeletal tail whipped out from the void.

Behind Rosalia, the phantom of the Corrupted Dragon became increasingly solid.

Only its body and head remained incomplete.

Even so, the Corrupted Dragon already resembled an ancient monster from the dawn of time.

The additional divine power gained from devouring the Divine Artifacts finally allowed Rosalia to suppress the injuries within her body, pulling her life force back above the critical threshold and giving her the strength for one final desperate gamble.

"Dissolve... Greatsword of Gluttony."

With a solemn expression upon her noble face, Rosalia dissolved her Divine Artifact.

Cracks spread rapidly across the blade of the Greatsword of Gluttony.

In the next instant, it shattered into countless starlike fragments that flowed into the phantom of the Corrupted Dragon.

The once rotten dragon rapidly solidified, transforming into a gigantic dragon beast adorned with countless stars.

Originally, Rosalia’s Dissolution Skill transformed her directly into the Corrupted Dragon.

After changing classes, however, that ability had been replaced and dramatically enhanced.

The Corrupted Dragon slowly raised its head.

Its jaws gradually opened.

Endless divine power surged together like an ocean.

Space itself began to twist and distort.

A black sphere of energy resembling a miniature black hole suddenly appeared high above the battlefield.

The already gloomy sky now looked as terrifying as the deepest abyss beneath the sea.

"The enemy dissolved her Divine Artifact... but this pressure..."

Veronica’s pupils shrank violently.

"Is this for real?"

Without hesitation, she turned and fled.

"Damn it! Run!"

Mushai reacted at almost the exact same moment.

"Have we misunderstood everything this whole time?"

Larson nearly fell off his horse in terror.

"Could she actually be the Divine Chosen of Destruction? Then what was that light over the fortress?"

Ava stood frozen in complete shock.

She suddenly realized...

She had stirred up an absolute monster.

The two women had barely managed a few steps before the black sphere plunged downward, continuously expanding and distorting as it fell.

Buzz...

The entire world suddenly fell silent.

Then came an earth shattering explosion.

Endless annihilation currents swept across everything nearby.

The surrounding soldiers didn’t even have time to scream before they were swallowed by the destructive tide and erased from existence.

The nearby undead legion suffered especially catastrophic losses, vanishing almost instantly.

Under Rosalia’s deliberate control, the three rebel Divine Chosen were also caught within the explosion.

Ava was by far the unluckiest.

She received the full focus of the attack.

She never even had the chance to dissolve her Divine Artifact.

Terror froze upon her beautiful face before the explosion instantly annihilated her.

Mushai and Veronica almost simultaneously dissolved their own Divine Artifacts, pushing their combat power to its absolute peak as they desperately struggled against the raging torrent of destructive energy.

Even before the explosion had completely subsided, Ashina smashed through the rubble blocking the fortress gate and led a cavalry squad of thirty riders forward.

Using the rebels’ desperate struggle against the explosion as cover, they avoided the remaining shockwaves before circling around to the enemy’s left rear flank.

It was as though a tightly stretched string had suddenly snapped.

Ashina had not even begun her charge before countless rebel soldiers started running.

One fleeing soldier inspired another.

Then another.

The entire battlefield collapsed in an instant.

Both Phield and Ashina had vastly overestimated the rebels’ fighting spirit.

Aside from the fanatics, most of the Shadow World Sect’s soldiers were little more than a disorganized mob.

While they had held the advantage earlier, they had managed to keep fighting.

Now, after suffering such devastating losses, their morale shattered completely.

"Don’t run!"

Even though the execution squads slaughtered fleeing soldiers without mercy, they could no longer stop the collapse.

Eventually, even the execution squads themselves joined the rout.

"Huh?"

Ashina blinked in surprise.

"Why are they running? They haven’t even lost yet."

Without wasting the opportunity, she immediately launched her assault against the chaotic rear lines.

"Look! Enemy cavalry!"

Someone shouted from within the confusion.

Only then did Dame recover from the shock of the explosion.

He looked up to see a squad of light cavalry already racing toward their vulnerable flank like ghosts.

Leading them was a young wolf beastkin girl.

Larson’s eyelids twitched violently.

Her extraordinary beauty left no doubt.

She was undoubtedly a Divine Chosen.

Those crimson eyes alone sent chills down his spine.

The terrifying mobility of a light cavalry Divine Chosen...

If she reached them...

Larson didn’t even dare imagine the outcome.

It would be absolute destruction.

"Hah! Sending so few cavalry to ambush us is practically an insult."

One of the priests beside him gritted his teeth.

"Baron Larson, send the Fifth Light Cavalry Squadron to intercept them."

The priest turned his head.

Larson was already gone.

He had fled.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Ashina let out an excited wolf howl.

Lowering her lance, she crashed directly into the rebel cavalry sent to stop her.

She charged left and right through their formation.

The exhausted rebel horsemen were no match for her.

Every thrust of her lance claimed another life.

The flashing lance shone like brilliant starlight.

Within moments, the entire enemy cavalry force had been scattered.

Taking full advantage of the confusion, Ashina plunged straight into the rebels’ rear ranks, smashing repeatedly through their formations of mages and archers.

The charging Drakewolf resembled a speeding train.

Anyone struck by it died instantly.

After tearing through three fragile formations in succession, Ashina charged directly toward the hill where the rebel command headquarters stood.

"Damn it! Another Divine Chosen! No wonder Baron Larson ran!"

"Sh She’s coming straight for us!"

"Go intercept her! Wait... where did everyone go?"

"Damn it! If you’re running, at least take me with you!"

The priests and military advisers within the command camp stared around in disbelief.

Only then did they realize...

Every senior commander had already escaped.

Without another word, they immediately fled as well.

Ashina crashed straight into the command tent, reducing it to shredded pieces with a single sweep of her lance.

Only a dozen or so fanatical bodyguards rushed out, roaring as they charged toward her.

"Dragonfire!"

Drakewolf unleashed a torrent of deep blue flames, instantly reducing them to piles of charred flesh.

"Continue pursuing their commanders."

Watching the fleeing priests in the distance, Ashina calmly issued another order.

"You don’t need to secure kills. Withdraw immediately if you encounter resistance."

With the command headquarters destroyed, the collapse of the Shadow World Sect accelerated even further.

Everywhere, panicked soldiers fled alongside rampaging, uncontrolled undead.

Ashina glanced once toward the chaotic front lines before decisively turning to reinforce Rosalia.

Veronica coughed up another mouthful of blood as she struggled to stand.

Disbelief filled her mind.

"Damn it... We have to retreat."

"The enemy keeps receiving reinforcements."

"This was a trap from the very beginning."

Suddenly, her heart tightened violently.

She sensed overwhelming killing intent.

Veronica instinctively snapped her head to the side.

Whoosh!

An arrow infused with divine power barely grazed her hair before blasting the unfortunate soldier standing behind her into pieces.
