Village Head's Debauchery

Chapter 1182: Guardians Of The Sanctuary, Fearsome Battle Techniques



Kasryn took a small cylindrical bottle from a bag hanging at her waist and popped a pill into her mouth. Immediately, Orion sensed a surge of Vylkr energy within her as her aura grew fiercer. She put the bottle back and handed another bottle to Orion.

"Whatever you do, don't take another until after an hour. Do you understand?" Kasryn said, her voice clear as they pierced through the harsh, snowy winds.

It would be bad if Orion became too weakened to fight while occupied with an enemy, so she returned the bottle to him.

Orion took the box and placed it on his armour. The elixir bottle sank into a pouch he had created within the armour.

"I understand," Orion responded, his tone firm.

Soon, they could see the creatures hidden within the snowy dust clouds in the sky.

At the forefront were countless flying beasts-Qurodactyls, long-necked feathered beasts with two legs and sharp claws, four-winged grey hawk-like beasts with long spiky tails, scaly two-winged creatures with the body of a bear, elongated necks, eagle-like beaks, and long sharp claws on their paws-and many more.

All of them were covered in writhing Vylkr vines that snaked in and out of their bodies. Their hollow eyes revealed that they were controlled by the four-star Vylkr vines.

Behind them were floating four-star Vylkr vines, supported high by countless more enormous flying magical beasts. Each four-star Vylkr vine stood fifty to sixty meters tall. With the known intelligence of the four-star Vylkr vines, Orion wasn't surprised they could fly, eliminating another one of their weaknesses.

As they approached, the towering height of these creatures could make any warrior's heart shiver in despair. But Orion and the other soldiers remained unfazed.

They continued to charge forward, with countless others emerging from the Sanctuary walls to follow behind. As they drew closer to the monstrosities, Kasryn drew her long sword.

"PREPARE YOURSELVES!" she commanded.

Within seconds, they clashed with the creatures.

BANG!!

SWISH!!

Kasryn skillfully swung her long sword from side to side, tearing through wings and beheading the flying beasts. The monstrosities plummeted toward the snowy ground, unable to withstand her fierce strikes.

Blood splattered in the air, and the sounds of soldiers screaming at the top of their lungs and beasts roaring echoed, accompanied by the force of each blow.

ROARRR!!

Observing the battle, Orion was impressed. His gaze shifted to the flying four-star Vylkr vines at the back, understanding that they would pose a greater challenge. Despite the progress in the skies, the soldiers on the ground were being pushed back.

Orion observed as the Arch-Knights on the ground slammed their large war shields into the earth, causing it to tear open with a crack that stretched outward toward the approaching creatures, making them sink into the ground.

Moments later, the cracked earth began to heal with a green hue, burying many advancing beasts.

However, the creatures continued their relentless advance due to their sheer numbers.

"I'll be giving you the reins and heading down. Whatever you do, stay far from behind until I return!" Kasryn said, with a commanding tone, turning her head to look at Orion with a sharp

gaze.

Orion nodded firmly.

Kasryn handed him the reins and walked behind him. The turbulence of the wind didn't hinder her, as her movements were agile. She gave Orion instructions on how to ride the Sky- Shattering Empress in the middle of battle, all while taking the opportunity to cut down nearby enemies.

Fortunately, Orion had experience from flying solo, which he utilized to quickly grasp how to steer the beast.

"Your handling might be rough, but it'll do. Remember our agreement-stay in the skies!" Kasryn said with a nod. She unstrapped her large war shield, buckled it to her right arm, and with her left hand gripping her long sword tightly, she leapt down from the beast.

Orion watched her descent from above.

Kasryn landed amidst the approaching creatures, her impact crushing the beasts beneath her feet without sustaining any injury, sending them tumbling backwards. With a loud shout, she raised her large shield and slammed it into the ground.

BOOM!!

An earthquake, far greater than any Orion had witnessed from the other Arch-Knights, erupted from Kasryn's position. The ground cracked open, swallowing the beasts along with

it.

The rupture expanded to over eight kilometres, plunging thousands of meters deep.

Orion was once again impressed. While the other Arch-Knights could create pits over a thousand meters wide-already a remarkable feat-Kasryn could generate one eight to nine times that size. At this moment, Orion was unsure of their technique, as the amount of energy required to unleash such power had to be tremendous.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Orion's mind.

'It must be a Vylkr energy-based technique,' he reasoned. He was already aware of the existence of Vylkr energy-based techniques from Rimehelm, who had fought alongside the

goddess.

The goddess had likely created various Vylkr energy techniques for the Guardians of her Sanctuary, allowing them to protect themselves from divine mysteries. This also meant they could cast such techniques while expending only a minuscule amount of their energy reserves. Orion hoped such techniques would be included in her inheritance, as they could tremendously boost Paradise's strength.

Soon, another group of riders emerged from behind, bearing the navy-blue insignia of a lightning bolt splitting a storm cloud embroidered on the red cloth draped across their right shoulders and backs-the Stormfall Corps. They joined the battle alongside the Ironwall Corps riders.

Together, they pushed the advancing beasts back, dissecting them one by one without mercy.

As the cracked pit was about to close, Orion saw Kasryn lift her large war shield and slam it into the ground again. With a reverberating "BOOM" that eclipsed the sounds of clashing weapons in the air, the pit began to expand, doubling and tripling.

Orion couldn't gauge how large the pit had grown, as its accurate scale was beyond his ability to measure from above.

Kasryn swung her long sword, slicing through several beasts around her, cutting them in half. She leapt back toward her Ironwall Corps, distancing herself from the immense pit she had

created.

CRACKLE!! CRACKLE!!

A familiar sound resonated from above.

Orion turned his attention to Valer and several other Stormfall Arch-Knights, each wielding a spear in their left hand and, surprisingly, a lightning spear in their right.

As they descended, they hurled the lightning spears forward. The countless lightning bolts merged into a massive strike, piercing down from the skies into the enormous pit, electrocuting and incinerating the remaining beasts that had survived and were attempting to

escape their doom.

'Amazing!' Orion thought, understanding where their confidence came from.

An attack like that, which could be stacked individually or combined with others at a negligible energy cost, made the strength of each soldier-and their sheer numbers-a decisive factor, offering many solutions for dealing with enemies. It felt like facing the entire

might of the sanctuary itself!

Orion grinned, realizing he needed to align those goddesses with Paradise if they wanted to

grow stronger.

Orion stretched his hand outward and constructed a greatsword from the morphic puppet. Instantly, the armour on his right hand extended and transformed into a 1.4m(4.6ft) tall greatsword, its obsidian-like blade glistening under the radiant sun.

"I'll help out now," Orion said, patting the side of Sky Shattering Empress's feathered neck as

it tore through the neck of a smaller bat-like feathered beast, then cut through the air to

dodge the assault of approaching creatures.

Sky Shattering Empress let out a piercing screech that echoed like thunder, seemingly

annoyed by Orion's disturbance.

Orion swung his greatsword at the wing of a beast that had gotten too close, severing it before

swiftly beheading the creature.

SCREEECHH!!

The beast let out a painful shriek before plummeting toward the ground.

Orion continued cutting down beasts with his greatsword, each swing claiming a life.

Initially, Sky Shattering Empress resisted, but seeing Orion skillfully dispatch their pursuers and give them space to manoeuvre, the creature became more obedient as time passed.

Although it refused to dive deeper into the horde of monstrosities, it followed Orion's commands elsewhere.

On the ground, Kasryn and several thousands of her elite soldiers had pushed deep into the ranks of the monstrosities, getting closer to the four-star Vylkr vines.

While defending herself, Kasryn glanced back, raised her gaze skyward, and peered into the distance. Seeing Orion skillfully riding her beast and cutting down the surrounding creatures,

she nodded in approval.

"At least, he is as competent as I expected," Kasryn remarked.

Valer and several other Arch-Knights tasked with observing Orion from afar and ensuring his

safety kept a close eye on him.

Kasryn signalled to her elite group, resuming their charge toward the four-star Vylkr vines and the immense tainted creatures. She also signalled Valer and his elite group, who accompanied them from above.

They synchronized their techniques again, creating an immense pit stretching outward for

tens of kilometres. The pit sank into the ground, and a massive lightning bolt pierced from the sky. It struck the pit and instantly eliminated the enemies within, giving them more room to charge forward.
