The next moment, a slender, pale hand materialized from the ether, its fingers closing around the shaft of the spear with a sickening thud. As soon as her hand touched the spear, the dark aura that emanated from Samuel's blood was instantly suppressed.
"Hmm, quite decent, " She gave the spear a casual, experimental flourish, the weight of the weapon seemingly nonexistent in her grip. She completely ignored the horrified expressions of the rest of the people. Although Samuel's curse is something terrifying and could even take down a dragon in seconds, for her, this curse is just so-so.
After all, no matter how deadly Samuel's curse is, it can never be as dangerous as the death energy Roxanne cultivates. She then turned back and looked at Cao Cao and asked in a sarcastic voice,
"Tell me, Cao Cao," she began, her voice dripping with mock politeness. "You don't mind if I keep this, do you? Actually, don't answer that. If you have objections, I suggest you bury them deep."
She tilted her head, watching the colour drain from his face. "Besides, a man of your 'magnanimous' reputation surely wouldn't begrudge me a spare toothpick. You already have a spear of your own, after all."
These made Cao Cao, who was already upset, almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Shalltear!" Cao Cao's voice broke into a guttural roar as his eyes became bloodshot. He was clearly on the verge of going berserk. Earlier, he felt his world go dark when Roxanne blocked that spear strike, but after hearing her words, his world began to turn bloodred.
This is clearly throwing salt on someone's wounds. Earlier, she just stopped the spear strike and also stopped Cao Cao's plan. And now she even wants to take away the spear that is bathed in Samuel's blood.
Honestly speaking, if Cao Cao had the Uchiha bloodline, he may have already awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan from just this much stimulation.
Just then, numerous magic circles appeared around Roxanne. There were Norse, angelic, or even demonic magic circles mixed there. In an instant, all the magic circles lit up and attacked Roxanne at once.
"Hmph, mere party tricks," Roxanne sneered as she swung the spear in a full circle. The dark aura was once again released, and along with it, all the attacks and magic circles shattered.
And after shattering the magic circles, Roxanne didn't stop there; she then released her senses. Then, in less than 3 seconds, she found her target.
"Hey, how dare you call yourselves heroes when you only know how to sneak attack? "Roxanne shouted as she pointed the spear at an empty space.
Then, without any hesitation, she swung the spear at that empty space. The spear was like a dark meteor as it destroyed the space. And along with it came a scream of a boy who fell down from the sky in the next second.
The man who fell down was none other than the vice leader of the Hero faction, Georg. This guy used his sacred gear, Dimension Lost, to hide his existence and try to snipe away Roxanne when her attention was on Cao Cao.
Unfortunately, this guy chewed up more than he could afford. This result was a spear attack that nearly cost him his life.
Roxanne called the Spear back and flashed next to Amaterasu. She ultimately didn't go for the kill. After all, for the play, she needs all the actors in place.
Though even she never expected to get her hands on this bad boy so easily. 'Now I can finally craft my newest creation,' Roxanne said to herself as she clenched the spear tightly.
Just as the gunpowder in the atmosphere was about to fire up the dragon, which was just hovering in the sky, it let out a dragonic roar. With this roar alone, more than 80% of the supernatural beings on the battlefield were incapacitated. And when that tyrannical dragon descended, the other 20% of the people felt their chests tighten.
The only ones who could still act normally are Amaterasu and Roxanne. As for Cao Cao, that guy was barely holding on to his poor life. And this is only because the True Longinus is using its aura to protect him.
Otherwise, with just his power level of a half-ultimate class, Cao Cao would never be able to survive under Scarlet's aura.
But at this moment, the one who is most scared isn't Cao Cao but Amaterasu. After all, Scarlet is now in Japan. If she decided to throw a dragon roar, then Japan would most likely cease to exist.
She then turned to look at Roxanne. At this moment, she could only hope Roxanne would be able to help her and manage to keep Japan in one piece.
Roxanne gave Amaterasu a reassuring smile and nod. She knew Amaterasu must be freaking out right now. After all, for her, if Japan were to be destroyed, their Shinto pantheon would be the most affected.
Their faith power would be completely cut off, and they would no longer be able to give birth to new gods. And this would result in the pantheon gradually losing its influence and would be forced to back out of the supernatural world.
This had happened many times in the past. Old pantheons would have to back down and let the rise of the new pantheons.
But would any pantheon willingly take a step back and discard everything and let someone else take them? No, of course not; after all, not everyone is a Buddha who can ignore all the desires of mankind.
Even though the old pantheons knew this was inevitable. They still wanted to fight back and rewrite fate. But unfortunately, no one was ever able to come close to it, much less achieve that feat.
"Amaterasu, don't worry, I will make sure Japan is in one piece after the battle," Roxanne said. with a calm tone as she put the spear away. Then she took a step forward, and a scythe appeared in her hand.
As soon as this scythe appeared, an even more dreadful aura appeared on the battlefield. This aura completely neutralized Scarlet's dragon aura. Of course, Roxanne didn't forget to exclude Cao Cao and the rest of the hero faction from her aura protection. In fact, she even doubled the pressure they were facing.
This weapon is Roxanne's favorite weapon. This scythe is also her gear for this Shaltier identity. This weapon is made from catalyzing the bloodline essence of Roxanne's fallen angel blood. So, in fact, this weapon can also be called the crystallization of Roxanne's fallen angel power. And this is also why this weapon managed to block the aura of the world's strongest dragon so easily.
"Tell the Alliance to withdraw. My shadow garden has already finished purging all the cannon fodder. Now, only these cadres are left. We can deal with these guys after dealing with the big guy," Roxanne said as she opened her wings.
Since she had already taken out her weapon, her wings also transformed. A dark death aura began to condense and cover her in a protective aura. This aura shield made her look like an evil spirit crawling out of the Abyss.
"Now then, let's dance." Roxanne said as a battle-hungry smile appeared on her face. Even though most of her face is covered by a mask, one could feel the wild beauty in her.
'Oh, this is going to be fun.' Roxanne thought to herself.
