Chapter 655 ???

Arabel laughed, realizing how easily she had fallen into the trap.

Looking at the destruction that the Dark Dragon had caused in such a short time, Arabel had no regrets about intervening and stopping it.

"If my guess is correct, then the Dragon was just a decoy. If I hadn't been in the capital before me or Dan found out about it, how much destruction would he have caused, considering that those who could have stopped him were with him?" mused Arabel, looking at everyone from the side. "How far are they willing to go to catch me and Den?"

Of course, no one heard her words.

The barrier completely isolated her and the others from the outside world, and hence the rank suppression disappeared. Like the other outsiders, Arabel's Valkyrie rank was no longer suppressed by the Golden Rank, becoming Platinum.

There were five beings of Light and five beings of Darkness against her, and all of them were Platinum-ranked.

Arabel didn't find any Diamond-ranked creatures among them based on the fluctuations in power. Knowing that the Will of the Earth did not like the interference of Diamond-ranked outsiders, Arabel was sure that this time, beings of that rank were not involved.

This realization gave her a small hope that she would be able to get out of here alive.

Arabel wasn't going to give up, especially when her wedding was only seven days away.

In just seven days, she would become Idan's wife.

Therefore, Arabel was determined to survive at all costs.

"I'm only worried about these dark creatures," she thought, looking at the many dark figures whose powers she couldn't assess and didn't even know who they were.

The opponents were not going to negotiate. They immediately went into action.

Glowing wings appeared behind the backs of the five beings of light, and white armor shone on their bodies. They held delicate spears in their hands. There were two men and three women among them.

"Lumenarians," - Arabel easily identified, recognizing them as representatives of the same race.

As for the creatures of Darkness, one of them transformed into a huge dark wolf, and the other into a dark eagle.

Among the remaining three, two were women with dark lettering and moving dark hair, which gave them away as belonging to the Womskinner race. The latter wore a dark robe, from under which a white skeleton holding a staff could be seen.

"Representatives of the Territory of the Dark Beasts, the Womskinner, and the representative of the Territory of the Dead," - Arabel easily identified.

Knowing that her Dark Valkyrie form was not always effective in combat, Arabel transformed into her first and most powerful form, the Ice Valkyrie.

Her hair turned white, as did her four wings.

At the same time, she awakened a symbiotic creature of darkness, and dark inscriptions appeared on her snow-white skin, like those of the Womskinner race. Next, her newly bleached hair turned black, as did her two lower wings.

Arabel didn't stop there and used all her strength. She activated an ability related to the element of Madness [Boosted by Madness - Level 3] and was filled with the Energy of Madness.

In her most powerful form, Arabel came face to face with ten Platinum-ranked creatures.

Under the influence of [Emotion Suppression - Level 4], Arabel felt

calm and focused like never before.

She activated [Ice Field - Level 4], freezing everything around her,

slowing down and hindering her opponents' movements.

"Damn," - Arabel cursed, to her disappointment, when she

discovered that her flying abilities were limited.

"What kind of restriction is this?" Even using her wings, Arabel couldn't rise above two meters.

These restrictions also affected her opponents, who hadn't expected this turn of events and were caught off guard, especially dark eagle. Arabel, defending herself from the attacks, instantly erected ice walls in front of her using her [Ice Creation - Level 4] ability. She also created an [Armor - Level 4] on her body, which allowed her to easily resist her opponents.

All her abilities, enhanced by the Energy of Madness, helped her not only to defend herself, but also to suppress her enemies.

"It seems like they teamed up just to deal with me and Dan.", - Arabel thought as she watched her opponents. Their actions were uncoordinated, and they attacked her chaotically, sometimes interfering with each other.

"I can handle it," Arabel told herself, seeing that she had the initiative

on her side.

But then the dark figures joined the battle, one after the other, like a wave, fell on Arabel.

Arabel was determined to survive and had no doubts about her

actions. She attacked the dark figures without hesitation using the [Ice Creation - Level 4] spell. With every move she made, she created spears, spikes, chains, and swords out of ice, easily killing opponents. "What kind of creatures are these?" wondered Arabel, easily dealing with the dark figures. It seemed very strange to her. Dark figures, falling under her attacks, fell and disappeared, disintegrating into

dark particles.

The other platinum-ranked creatures even moved away from her

when they saw what was happening, making room for the dark figures. They, in turn, began to advance, but one by one they fell under Arabel's onslaught.

"It's time," said the dark figure who had been watching Arabel all this time. She disappeared from her place and appeared among the dark figures, merging with them. Then, the figure rushed towards Arabel

on its own.

Focused on destroying the dark figures, Arabel did not notice the appearance of this mysterious figure.

It was only when she suddenly accelerated in front of her that Arabel, without hesitation, slashed with her sword, cutting the dark figure in

half.

Unlike other similar creatures, this dark figure did not disappear, but spat out black blood and fell into Arabel.

Her black hood flew open, revealing the creature beneath it.

It was a young girl with black hair and completely black eyes, who, smiling, continued to spit out black blood.

"Gotcha," she said in a monotone voice, grabbing Arabel's hands. Suddenly, something detached itself from the girl and, passing through Arabel's hands, penetrated her body. The girl's body, as if its threads had been cut off, fell down and stopped moving, but there

was still a big smile on her face.

Arabel, caught off guard, couldn't understand what had happened.

Her vision began to blur.

"No, no, no," she finally panicked, not realizing what was happening.

At the last moment, before her consciousness was consumed by darkness, she created a [Prison - Level 4] around herself, imprisoning herself in an ice prison.

The dark figures that were attacking Arabel stopped and slowly turned towards the ten Platinum-ranked creatures, as if protecting

her.

At the same time, Idan, who left his Guild's Branch in the Capital in a

hurry, was stunned by a System notification that hit him like a bolt out of the blue.

[Ding! The Supreme Wife System is deactivated.]
