Chapter 458 Price

"Whoosh————!"

Trinity, violently thrown by the white shockwave, transformed into projectiles that heavily fell to the ground amid sharp breaking space sounds.

"Peng————!"

In muffled sounds, the ground of Seireiden suddenly trembled, raising dense dust in three corners, gradually ascending and spreading all around.

Within the thick dust, the impacted ground sank, erupting clumps of debris like stones and tiles. Cracks spread like a spider web, inch by inch, fracturing apart.

When the dust settled, three additional craters appeared on the ground, as if struck by meteorites.

"Ugh…!"

Hecate fell into one crater, emitting a distressed cry.

"Cough…!"

Bel Peol lay in another crater, pale, coughing weakly.

"Pu Chi…!"

Sydonay struggled to rise, but before he could steady himself, he knelt on one knee to the ground, and a sweet sensation appeared in his throat as he forcefully spewed a mouthful of blood.

After the fierce clash, Trinity was all severely injured and unable to rise again.

"General!"

"Great Priestess!"

"Chief Strategist!"

Around Seireiden, everyone who witnessed this scene lamented.

At the top of the castle in the center of Seireiden, two people also witnessed this.

"Impossible..."

Fecor exclaimed in bewilderment.

"Trinity... actually lost...?"

And not just lost, but they lost to a human?

This was absolutely impossible.

It was Trinity, the three pillars of the Crimson World, the most powerful and ancient Crimson Lords.

How could such beings lose to a human who appeared from nowhere?

Not to mention, Trinity each held a Leader-customized Treasure Tool, greatly enhancing their strength.

These three beings, making a move together, couldn't handle a single human.

"Tsk..."

On the side, Sabrac, dressed in black, was equally astonished, and he stared fixedly at the figure at the center of the slowly burning white phosphorescent light in the sky. He spoke in a low voice.

"He hid such power when fighting against me?"

This revelation made Sabrac extremely displeased.

In terms of strength, although Sabrac was also a Third Rank, he was absolutely not comparable to Trinity.

At least, if Trinity joined forces, Sabrac would have no chance of winning.

Moreover, not to mention Hecate and Bel Peol, just Sydonay alone would be enough to defeat Sabrac.

If Fang Li had displayed this level of power when facing him in battle, how would it have turned out?

At this thought, Sabrac involuntarily tightened the hand held in front of him.

"Is this the true definition of strength?"

Under Sabrac's low mutter, Fecor was equally anxious.

"Sabrac-Sama!" Fecor said urgently, "Trinity has been defeated, and that human will absolutely show no mercy. We must go rescue the three leaders!"

It was an extremely imprudent decision.

Even with Trinity working together, the only result was their defeat. What could Fecor and Sabrac accomplish on their own?

After all, in Seireiden, although Fecor and Sabrac were the most experts aside from Trinity, there was still a considerable gap compared to Trinity. In this situation, even if Fecor and Sabrac made a move, could they really salvage anything?

"Hmm?"

Just as Sabrac was thinking this, a sudden anomaly caught his attention.

"Sabrac-Sama!"

Unaware, Fecor was still anxiously speaking on the side.

Ignoring Fecor, Sabrac stared at the figure in mid-air, and half a second later, he finally confirmed.

"So that's how it is. Is that why he suddenly became so powerful?"

Sabrac's words made Fecor momentarily stunned.

Seeing this, Sabrac did not explain and directly said, "There's no need for us to make a move. It's already over."

Just as if confirming the truth of Sabrac's words, a voice filled with pain suddenly echoed in the air.

"Ugh..."

With the groan, the white phosphorescent light, burning like flames around Fang Li's body, visibly receded at a rapid pace, disappearing in an instant.

Simultaneously, the colossal presence that permeated the sky over Seireiden also suddenly weakened until it vanished completely.

Perceiving this change, everyone was stunned.

Including the Denizens and Rinne scattered all around Seireiden.

Also, including Trinity, each in their respective craters.

All eyes turned towards the sky.

There, around Fang Li's body, the white phosphorescent light had completely disappeared.

Fang Li himself was suspended in mid-air, swaying for a moment, then kneeling in the air with a pale complexion, continuously taking deep breaths.

The aura was extremely weak.

Seeing this scene, Trinity instantly understood.

"So that's how it is..." Bel Peol struggled to get up, gazing at Fang Li in the air, wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smiling.

"Is this the price for possessing such terrifying power?" Hecate's eyes flashed slightly as she struggled to rise.

As for Sydonay, he grinned, resembling an injured wild beast, and said, "What a boring conclusion."

Having said that, Sydonay directly raised the heavy steel spear in his hand. With a swing, he sent a turbid purple flame, Tatsumaki-like, soaring into the sky.

Fang Li witnessed this scene.

However, Fang Li was helpless.

Just as the white phosphorescent light, burning like flames, gradually receded like a tide, Fang Li felt a wave of weakness and intense pain from his soul rushing toward him. It made his head ring, his complexion pale, and he directly knelt in the air, only able to barely maintain flight.

At that moment, Fang Li understood.

"This is bad..."

This sign was obvious.

The duration of Stigma had come to an end.

As for the side effects, they rushed towards Fang Li like a gust of wind, rendering him completely incapable of movement.

Thus, Fang Li could only watch as the turbid purple flame, Tatsumaki, swept toward him. Trying to stand up, he was immobilized by the weakness and agony emanating from his soul, unable to move.

Therefore, Fang Li could only desperately lift Bo Xie in his hand, pouring the remaining majority of his Prana into it, holding it in front of himself to withstand the direct impact of the Tatsumaki flame.

"BOOM————!"

The turbid purple flame exploded in mid-air, turning into a rolling fire wave that surged violently.

Within it, a figure enveloped in turbid purple flames fell from the sky, crashing to the ground and tumbling like a spinning gourd, accompanied by a large amount of dust, rolling out before coming to a stop after a while.
