A hope.

At the same time as Virgo is forcing the dimensions of space and time to open up, some powerful figures feel it.

Especially in a palace that looks scary with thunderstorms and lightning constantly striking, the shadow of a black figure that has two horns on its head sitting leisurely on its throne puts on a serious face when it senses something.

He plucked his finger as if to send a signal, then 4 palaces began to appear one by one.

The first palace was in a volcano filled with magma and smoldering fire, the place looked barren without life.

A shadowy figure with two forked horns and having a huge body roared at the peak of a volcano with magma all around.

The second palace was at the bottom of the sea, the blue shadow of the Goddess looking up at the surface as if receiving a signal.

The third palace is in the middle of the forest, the palace looks simple and a little shabby but so big and spacious, the shadow of a figure who has a giant body with a large weapon on his back, he is sitting on his throne with bulging eyes while snorting coldly.

And the last palace is also in the forest, the palace looks more majestic than the palace of a giant shadow figure, and is not far from a big river in the forest.

The shadow figure that had a horn on its forehead stared at the 10 shadow figures in front of it and seemed to be saying something to all of them.

After the four palaces came into view, a crooked smile appeared on the face of the shadowy horned figure who plucked the finger earlier, it smiled lopsidedly and looked full of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, in the rain village, Ken and the other witches sat weakly with wounds all over their bodies, of the dozens of witches who came out to distract the wild animals, now they only have 8 people left, almost half of them have been killed by wild animals.

Meanwhile, the white-bearded Elder who had gone to face the Jug monster had yet to send a signal to them.

"Chief, we have no other choice, the purple light shield won't be able to last much longer, the damage inflicted by the attacks of the beasts is starting to increase.

We can only last for 3-4 hours at most if help from the city hasn't arrived yet until everything will end" Said Jero reporting the situation that made their situation worse.

Hearing that all the remaining mages became more and more frightened, they thought the light shield should still last another 2-3 days.

"How is that possible, the escape boat is only 60% complete," Said one of the wizards quickly.

"I know, we can't save all the villagers, the only way is, some of them have to escape to the forest, there is no other choice" Jero replied desperately.

"That's impossible, running into the forest is tantamount to suicide, the wild animals will immediately hunt them," Said a magician who also didn't believe Jero's suggestion.

"Then what do you think we should do, we can't force everything, our situation is in a slump, I don't want that either, but..." Jero could only look down weakly.

"Chairman, what do you think?" Jero asked while looking at Ken who looked still pale and desperate, Ken gritted his teeth, he really couldn't believe he would be in that situation.

"Jero is right, we have no other choice, some of the residents must run to the forest, and we as the remaining magicians must protect them" Ken answered firmly.

"But chief, how do we do it, just protecting ourselves is very difficult how can we protect the residents, especially in the forest there are also many other wild animals, that are tantamount to suicide," Said one of the magicians who disagreed.

"We have to do it, even if we have to die to protect them, help from the city won't come and the only ones who can protect them are we," Ken said confidently, hearing that the magicians could only helplessly look down.

"Boom".

The ground suddenly shook as an explosive sound that bore a one-meter deep hole formed beyond the purple protective light, redpointed eyes faintly visible within the dust pool.

Ken and the others were immediately stunned to see the figure in front of them, especially the aura that the figure gave off was very scary.

"That... It's a jug monster!"

"How could he be here, was the Elder defeated so quickly,"

"No… There is no way the most powerful and experienced Elder could be defeated so quickly."

The magicians were completely dumbfounded by what they saw, a collection of dust began to fade and the figure of a jug monster was clearly visible.

The big mouth with saw-like teeth was filled with fresh blood as if it had just been devoured.

Ken's eyes immediately reddened when he saw the figure of the jug monster in front of him, "Fuck, what did you do to our elders". Ken shouted loudly and angrily at the jug monster.

An eerie slanted smile immediately appeared on the jug monster's mouth, and the sound of thunderous laughter was heard making them all immediately shudder in horror.

The jug monster didn't answer, but it immediately attacked with its sharp claws, 3-2 meter wide lights shot straight at them.

"Boom...Kraack...Kraack".

A loud explosion immediately sounded along with a crack in the purple protective light, the magicians who witnessed it immediately glared in horror, they all knew, the attack could instantly tear their bodies into dice.

"Chairman, this is not good, the protective light can't take it anymore, if we get 2-3 of the same attack, the protective light will completely disappear" Jero's voice sounded very panicked.

"Hearing that, Ken was very surprised, you all quickly evacuate all residents, there is no time left, prioritize children, women, and the elderly to escape to the sea". Ken said quickly.

"How about you, chief?" Asked one of the wizards who saw Ken remained unmoved staring at the jug monster.

"Jero and I will stay here holding off this disgusting monster," Ken answered quickly.

"What are you waiting for, did you not listen to the chairman's orders?" Jero said quickly, he agreed with Ken's decision, at least with the combined strength of the two of them, the other mages had less time to evacuate the residents.

Hearing that the remaining mages immediately rushed off, with teary eyes and helplessness, there was no other choice.

Now that they were alone, the second attack of the jug monster further increased the damage of the purple protective light, "Jero are you ready?" Ken asked lightly.

"What do you mean ready to die?" Jero asked with a bitter smile.

"We've been through a lot together, Asuka is dead, I can't protect her, but I'm not sad anymore because soon I'll catch up with her" Ken replied with a bitter smile.

"You think I'll also just keep quiet seeing you two go, we'll go together," Said Jero with a faint smile.

"Boom".

The third attack of the jug monster instantly shattered the purple light barrier, and at the same time, a rumbling sound started to sound and a black cloud with lightning flashing continuously suddenly appeared in the sea.

A black hole formed in the midst of the dark clouds and blacklight suddenly shot down, the immeasurably terrifying aura made all living beings within a radius of hundreds of kilometers instantly find it hard to breathe and feel extremely depressed.

The jug monster took a few steps back and looked very frightened, while Ken and Jero had collapsed on their knees unable to withstand the pressure of the aura that was so powerful.
