<h4>Chapter 697 - Rose Vs Selena</h4>


    Selena stood bravely in the sky. She stared at Rose calmly, unafraid of the power the hero had shown before.


    Selena was strong. But realistically, she was far from being able to face Rose.


    However, right now, her power was not limited to her own.


    At this moment, the power of over one hundred irregrs had been gathered on her.


    I frowned while observing the situation. As expected, Emilia had resorted to this.


    It was nothing more than an array. A formation that gathered the mana of multiple individuals into one person.


    I could do something like that too. And in fact, Eternity''s Fangs used a simr formation.


    But unlike the men of Eternity''s Fangs, every one of the men in this formation was an Irregr.


    That was not something easy to achieve.


    To be an Irregr, you must find your own path. It meant that every Irregr wielded a different set of abilities. Combining these abilities in a formation was very hard, and sometimes, close to impossible.


    In the case of my women, their abilities are so varied that I would need years to create an array able to gather and enhance their powers.


    But Emilia does not have that trouble.


    The abilities of her Irregrse from the same source, herself. She forced a part of her path onto them.


    The disadvantages of using such a method were that she blocked off their route of advancement and over-drafted their lives. They were destined to die soon and be unable to be stronger in their remaining short lives.


    But her method also had a big plus.


    As their powers were very simr, it was much easier tobine them through a formation.


    I knew it, and I expected her to use this method, but even so, I could not help but frown when I saw it.


    Because knowing about it did not mean it was easy to counter.


    "Prepare yourself to die." Selena stared at Rose coldly. Right now, she was no longer afraid of the hero.


    The power she could wield now was enough to tear down any obstacle in her path.


    Rose frowned. She clenched her sword firmly and focused her gaze on the wolfkin girl.


    In the next instant, she moved.


    Her figure disappeared suddenly, only to appear behind the wolfkin girl with her sword raised.


    She was so fast that few people on this battlefield managed to follow her movements.


    But when her sword was about to cut through the wolfkin girl''s neck, the wolfkin girl''s gaze fell on her.


    "Slow."


    Then, she extended her right hand towards the sword.


    *ng!*


    "!!!" Rose opened her eyes wide. She knew how strong her sword was. She could not believe it was stopped barehanded.


    But before she could process this result, she saw the wolfkin raising her leg.


    *Swish!*


    The leg of the wolfkin girl cut through the ce where Rose was, forcing the hero to jump back and leave her sword in the hands of her opponent.


    But the wolfkin girl was not done. She threw the sword away and followed Rose closely, gathering mana on her palm as she attacked Rose''s chest.


    *BOOM!!!*


    A powerful explosion resounded on the battlefield as the shockwaves of the attack hit the ground. The power of the wolfkin girl''s palm was so strong that it could have destroyed several cities instantly!


    "Where are you running!?" She shouted and looked at her right. There, Rose had appearedpletely unscathed.


    But even so, her expression was ugly. She had been forced to use a lot of her mana to escape from thest attack.


    At that moment, Rose saw that the wolfkin girl was attacking her again.


    "… It''s bad." She furrowed her brows and tried to create distance between herself and the wolfkin girl. But suddenly, a huge sensation of danger filled her.


    Without bothering to identify the source of the danger, she moved away as fast as she could!


    Almost immediately, the ce where she was just now was struck by dozens of deadly attacks!


    Moreover, more attacks wereing towards her even at that moment.


    The other Irregrs in the formation were attacking her as well!


    The wolfkin girl, Selena, was not the only one that was strengthened by the formation. The other members had be a bit stronger as well. They used their strengthened abilities to attack Rose from afar, harassing her and blocking her routes of escape as Selena pressured her.


    "Then what about this!?" Rose narrowed her eyes and kicked the air. Charging forward.


    If she could not avoid the enemies, she would go to them.


    Moving at her greatest speed, she appeared in front of one of the beastmen Irregrs and kicked his head.


    But the beastmen crossed his arms and received the attack fearlessly. Even though he was blown away by Rose''s kick, he was mostly uninjured.


    And before Rose could chase him to finish him, Selena had already caught up to her.


    "Where are you going!?" Selena formed a w and attacked Rose''s chest!


    It was a deadly attack that would injure Rose greatly if she received it.


    But suddenly, a curtain of colorful wind appeared around Rose.


    "[Cosmic Wind]!"


    Selena frowned. Her w hit the wind, but to her surprise, the wind dissipated her attackpletely, giving Rose enough time to retreat!


    Frowning, she looked behind Rose, only to see a green-haired girl staring at her coldly.


    "It looks like you forgot about us," Katherine said as cosmic winds surrounded her.


    Selena wrinkled her brows before rxing them.


    "One more will not make a difference."


    "But it''s not just one more." Katherine''s lips curved up slightly.


    All of sudden, Selena''s eyes shrunk.


    "[Sun Descent]!" A childish voice appeared in the air. Then, a second sun appeared in the sky.


    Selene''s face changed. She hurriedly retreated as the second sun quickly increased in size, almost swallowing all the beastmen Irregrs beforepressing in a point and disappearing.


    It was Lina! My little cousin had shown the power of her path, [Sun Core], for the first time on the battlefield!


    Unfortunately, most of the beastmen managed to escape her attack. But even then, two of them were swallowed by the sun.


    But before Selene could locate the source of the sudden attack, another voice sounded.


    "[Lonely Night]."


    Darkness descended, swallowing all the light. At the same time, the bodies of the beastmen became rigid, unable to continue moving.


    This time, it had been Doctor Elene who had acted.


    Right then, a fire sword appeared in front of Rose. She then heard a familiar voice behind her.


    "Take it. You are the most suitable to wield my [Emperor''s Sword]."


    Rose grinned and grabbed the sword before looking in Dina''s direction.


    "Yes, Your Majesty."


    Power filled Rose''s body. She held the sword of fire with both hands and raised it high.


    "Hah!"


    With a shout, the sword was swung down.


    And hell descended on her enemies.
