Edward gritted his teeth and persevered, but the anchor mark was getting farther and farther away from him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He tried many things, but to no avail. His current mana is on par with that of Corifias, but the other party has the support of the red Lirim Crystal and the Elven Orb, and his strength has taken a step further, and the spell has no advantage against Edward.

Moreover, in this kind of all-out mana confrontation, the slightest distraction has the consequence of mana backlash, and he can't be distracted to do anything else at all, even if it is difficult to bless a magic barrier for the unprotected Selene.

"Hurry, Lightning! Hurry!" Edward called out in his heart, doing everything in his power to prevent the Anchor Mark from being snatched away by Corifias.

He knew very well in his heart that if the anchor seal was taken away by the other party, then the strength of the demon army would go further, and Corifia would also be able to open the door to the shadow world with the anchor seal.

Just as the anchor seal was about to enter the elf orb, another dragon roar came, and the figure of lightning finally appeared in the air.

As if sensing Edward's crisis at this time, the dragon's lightning slammed into the black dragon of Corifias, and before the figure arrived, a strong lightning breath squirted at the black dragon!

"How is that possible!you really tamed a dragon!" Korifiath was surprised, and the anchor seal moved a little in Edward's direction because of his doppelganger.

The sky above the banquet hall resounded with the sound of a continuous dragon groan, and the two dragons engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat in the air as they watched as many terrified people below.

"Your plan has failed, Fusion Monster. Edward gritted his teeth and cast a spell as he looked at the panicked Corefias and taunted, "The guards of the Winter Palace are coming, and our Inquisitors will return, and you will be surrounded by a siege and never to be found!"

As soon as Edward's words fell, several palace guards rushed in, and when they saw the scene in the banquet hall, they immediately froze.

"What are you waiting for, a bunch of idiots, kill that monster!" Céline screamed.

Seeing the empress's order, the guards immediately rushed towards Corifias, armed with spears.

"Fools are fools, thank you for your help. Coryfias smiled strangely. The red Lirim Crystal in his hand had been absorbed by him, and with one hand, he swept one of the guards into the air and flung it towards the mana line that connected him to Edward's anchor seal.

"Not good!" Edward had already discovered Corefias's intentions, but it was too late to stop it.

The guard was directly blown to pieces by the mana connection wire, and Edward's connection with the anchor seal was also lost due to the guard's blocking, and he could only watch as the anchor seal was absorbed by the elven orb of Kaurifias.

At the same time, due to the forcible severance of the spell confrontation, a huge spell backlash directly threw him out and slammed into the wall of the banquet hall.

Corifiath didn't feel comfortable either, but he only staggered a few steps back—the Anchor Mark and the Orb of the Elves blocked most of the backlash for him.

"This time I won, and you, Edward Lee, will continue to lose. With one hand, Corifiath burned the onrushing guards into flames with a burst of fire. And his black dragon also forced away the lightning with a few ferocious breaths, and after a few fierce breaths, he descended rapidly, and after his strong claws widened the hole in the roof of the banquet hall, he grabbed Kaurifias and flew into the distance.

"Damn, we must not let him run!" Edward cursed, ignoring his injuries, and as he ran, he hurriedly cast a few flashes of holy light on himself, and he was caught by lightning in one leap and chased after the black dragon of Corifias.

Selene looked at Edward who disappeared into the air in a daze, and half-knelt down weakly. After this battle, she suddenly realized that the heavily guarded palace was not completely safe, and the threat of Corrifias was far beyond her imagination. If it weren't for Edward's sacrifice this time, she would definitely die in the palace she had always thought was safe.

Thinking of this, she looked at Flarian and Gaspar who were slumped on the ground, her eyes were sharp and full of anger, and she was now going to take revenge for the suffering he and Edward had suffered!

By the time the noise and shouts of slaughter in the Winter Palace had subsided, the capital of the powerful southern empire of Cedas was in shambles. Corifias paid a great price to seize the Anchor Seal from Edward's hands.

Almost everywhere in the Winter Palace is the remains of the Darkspawn, as well as the corpses of demonized Red Knights, rebel mages, and Venatori. The houses in the northern part of the Hermitage were even more in flames. A large number of soldiers were running there to extinguish the fire, and the scene did not subside long after the fierce battle.

"Where's the Inquisitor!" said a panting Reliana as she withdrew her longbow and asked a terrified Josephine beside her.

"Corrifias had raided the banquet hall just now, and the Inquisitor rode in pursuit of it. Josephine wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "According to Empress Selene, it seems that the Inquisitor was in hot pursuit of Corifias because of the seizure of the Anchor Seal. ”

"Damn!" Blackwall said as he sat down on the ground and looked at the corpses of the demon army all over the ground, "We underestimated the ability of Corifias, he had planned it for a long time. ”

"It's not a good situation, if the anchor seal is taken away, we will be passive. Varik sat down tired, caressing his Beonka and said, "Kassandra didn't go to the Inquisitor in time?"

"It's not much better on his side than we are here. Reliana sighed, "In order to capture the Anchor Seal, Corifia not only made a plan, but also sent a large number of troops. Hopefully, the inquisitors will succeed. ”

"I don't think you need to worry. The Iron Bull, who had just joined, gasped with his two-handed axe, "The Inquisitor was able to defeat Corifia before the lightning, and now that the lightning has joined, there should be no problem in dealing with him." ”

"But the problem is that Corifia has flown north, and that's his territory!" said Reliana angrily, "If you can't catch up with Corifias between the Hermitage and the border, the Inquisitor won't be able to recapture the Anchor Seal." ”

"And as you can see, the lightning and the black dragon are not much different in terms of flight speed, and wanting to catch up with Kaurifia in the air has nothing to do with the strength of the two of them. ”

"But there's nothing we can do here in a hurry. Josephine said bitterly, "Let's go and see how the Empress is doing, and if you can, I want the Empress to hand over those two culprits to us for trial." ”

Everyone sighed in unison, reluctantly stood up, and walked to the banquet hall.
