It was more like a tactical battle between the dwarves and fairies against an army of monsters. However, the defensive troops were disadvantaged because they were vastly outnumbered by the enemies.
The dwarves and fairies only numbered one regiment which was sent to the front line in several troops. However, the number of accursed creatures they faced was more than fifty times more.
“Hey, you want me to jump into the battlefield and fight over a hundred thousand cursed monsters? You see that, the monsters even know battle tactics and are only toying with the dwarves and fairies!” Fortuna voiced her complaint. She would die of exhaustion if she had to face such a large number of troublesome monsters.
“This is not right. We are only two hundred kilometers from the most vital city for fairies, and this accursed army shouldn’t exist.” Rhea felt that something was wrong. She never remembered there being accursed creatures in this number sealed near important cities on every continent.
“Mm, the situation is not like what Dwarven Emperor Nuraddir said.” Elysia nodded in agreement.

“They can multiply? If they move with a battle of tactics and strategy, there must be their leader somewhere.” Elena drew a conclusion, then gave her command. “Xentia, Fortuna, you go to the battlefield and test your skills especially against the accursed with your Earth’s magic and everything you have. We will jump into the battlefield too when needed. Save everyone.”
“Hero Xentia is leaving!” Xentia flew down.
“Alright then.” Fortuna glanced at Elysia briefly, then immediately flew down to the battlefield. She believed she would not be abandoned if she got into a disadvantaged situation. In addition, she was also curious about her capabilities against the real accursed creatures.
“Prince Reizzouck, troop three is just being toyed with by the enemy. At this rate, we’re just sending our soldiers to their death like troops one and two!” A Dwarf General reported the situation to the battle leader.
“Things went really wrong. Those monsters originally numbered less than five thousand, but why did they suddenly multiply to over one hundred thousand powerful monsters? We lack the anti-curse mechanism. It’s a suicide battle for us.” Reizzouck put his hand to his chin. He frowned with a grim expression.
The Fairy Empress glanced back. She could sense Celestial Tree was feeling worried and anxious. After that, she looked at the dwarves next to her. “We appreciate your help in the last few battles, Prince Reizzouck. However, it’s fine if you want to turn around and leave this place. We fairies will fight to the end and protect our Capital City.”
“Nonsense. Even though we won’t be fighting to the death like you, it’s a disgrace to escape from battle just because we see our troops are at a disadvantage and the enemy numbers continue to grow. It’s still too early to retreat, Fairy EMpress Yralissa Quifiel.” Reizzouck responded in a neutral tone. He then used his binoculars to analyze the situation deep in the enemy area.
*Boom!* *Bang*
Several explosions broke out on the frontline battlefield, and the troop of three was almost completely massacred.
“Tch.” Reizzouck felt his heart bleed when he saw his comrades fall on the battlefield and be devoured by those monsters. However, he could not immediately send all troops to an all-out battle.
This battle had already lasted for a day and a night. Still, the situation had become extremely out of control since midnight. When the sun rose, they had already become the desperate party. They were almost done eradicating the accursed creatures from the sealed area that collapsed a few hours ago. Still, the situation had changed a hundred and eighty degrees.
Reinforcements also were impossible to arrive on time. They were stalling for fruitless results. All troops would be slaughtered entirely soon, and Zhadphis Woodland would be destroyed today.
Reizzouck could predict the worst that would happen. His conscience screamed to pull his troops back and let the fairies fight to the death. This place was not their homeland to protect, after all. However, his knight spirit refused to do that before the worst situation arrived before his eyes. Everyone had to try their best.
“Troop four to eight. Come to the frontline with me.” Yralissa gave her orders. She would go with her strongest troops even though she knew they wouldn’t be able to come back alive.
“Empress, let us go ahead. You are too valuable to fall on the battlefield!” A Fairy General exclaimed sternly. He didn’t want their Empress to die, no matter what.
“That may sound good, but I can no longer see the fairies fighting a pointless battle. We could all retreat, but I can’t leave the Celestial Tree no matter what. I’m sorry for this selfish order, but I will fight until die for Celes. Are you going with me?” Yralissa took a breath and raised her war staff. She is ready to fly to the frontline.
“If only the divine didn’t go after the Ruvoid God who fled to another dimension...” One of the Fairy Generals muttered under his breath, but it was a meaningless complaint.
“Allow us to fight with you!”
“All for our homeland!”
“For our Empress!”
All the fairies shouted in high spirits. They would also fight to the last drop of blood with their Empress.
All the fairies finally decided to follow their Empress to the frontline, but something suddenly came from above.
“The accursed shall perish under the mighty light! Anti-matter cannon, fire!” Xentia unleashed an opening attack with high-level magic to strengthen her anti-matter cannon.
*Swoosh!* *Rumble!* *Boom!*

A golden light beam shrouded in golden thunder shot out like a stream of destruction, obliterating the accursed creatures.
Some monsters had high resistance to magic, but Xentia’s attacks had an anti-matter effect. It disintegrated the monsters into dust particles in just a few seconds.
An explosion wiped out more than a thousand accursed creatures. Still, there were a few survivors of Xentia’s anti-matter cannon, although they received a direct hit.
“One of Xentia’s strongest attacks is less effective for high-rank accursed creatures, huh... Let it be.” Xentia shrugged her shoulders and put her anti-matter cannon into her dimension pocket.
A flash of black mist came toward her. Seeing that, she immediately summoned her lightsabers to cut down several monsters in the anti-curse field.
Fortuna was stunned in another part of the battlefield as her high-rank magic could only eliminate a few low-tier accursed creatures. She didn’t expect her magic to have such a minimal impact on those monsters. The anti-magic was authentic.
“Ely said I need to use elemental reaction or physical attack magic to make it effective. I don’t have much magic for that.
However, what if I take their lives directly by severing their spirit destiny? Uh? They don’t even have a spirit or soul!” Fortuna was extremely shocked when her ultimate technique was useless against the real accursed.
“Grr! Virgin woman meat!” An Emperor-level accursed creature flew upwards like a rocket to attack the half-baked divine entity.
“Why do you need to say that? Virgin means pure and holy!” Fortuna unleashed several golden spears, but they exploded before touching the giant monster. Hundreds of golden threads entangled that monster, rendering it immobile.
“Roar!” The Emperor-level accursed creatures roared into the sky and tore those golden threads effortlessly.
“Hey!” Fortuna tried to dodge and evade the attacks. Her most vital points were destiny and magic, but she was useless against the accursed.
She finally knew why this world’s inhabitants had so much trouble and ended up with the extinction of several races in the past.
“Fortuna is useless on the battlefield against the accursed, but she can dodge very well. No attacks hit her.” Elena sighed at that sight.
“However, Xentia is very efficient there. She’s really clever to take advantage of the anti-curse fields, her anti-matter cannon, then her great physical attack truly add the sweet on the top.” Rhea nodded in satisfaction.
“Reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!” A fairy cheered gratefully. They were saved!
“Thank goodness...” Yralissa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who was watching the entire battlefield from the sky.
She could see Elysia came with two Goddesses and some other powerful aids. The divine group was back! Their Capital City would be saved, and they could win this battle.
“Everyone, we enter the battlefield and eradicate the accursed! We have Goddesses in our backs! For our homeland!” Yralissa raised her magic staff and flew to the frontline.
“O-oh!” The fairies cheered and immediately flew after their Empress. Their morale now exploded, and their battle power seemed to increase drastically because there was no longer any fear. After all, they knew that divine protection had arrived.
Reizzouck was soon also sending his troops to the battlefield. He would also enter the battle.
Due to the arrival of the divine group, the entire defensive battle turned into an all-out assault.
Elysia still used her sacred sight to inspect the accursed army at that moment. She sensed something was wrong with this number of cursed monsters, and a mighty entity might be behind the situation.
‘Ely, I feel like things have gone wrong since we first came to this world. It’s gotten worse since we arrived in this region. That’s why I didn’t come out of your shadow. It’s like we’re being monitored from the unknown dimension. This feeling is similar to when we arrived at that damned star in the Boundless Realm. That terrifying, humongous monster... That’s so similar. This malicious omen is no joke. I believe my feeling and hunch well.’ Ai shared her opinion via telepathy.
‘Then this is getting worse, Ai. We need to handle that kind of monster ASAP.’ Elysia felt a bit cold from the inside because she also felt the same suspicion. She had been very vigilant since arriving here.
‘Please be more careful. I will help you and protect you. Goddess Lina knows about this, right?’ Ai heaved a subtle and tried to search around the battlefield.
‘Yes, she and Aria know everything about this.’ Elysia gave her confirmation.
At that moment, she noticed a human-like individual standing under a tree, looking her right in the eye. It was the moment when she felt the same sensation as back then.
*Pang!*
A mental attack suddenly struck, and Elysia flinched backward. She somehow forgot how to fly or stay in mid-air. Thus she fell straight down.
