Huff...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunos lay sprawled on the ground, covered in dirt and grime, gasping for breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I got away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CLAP. CLAP. CLAP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of slow applause echoed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations on your narrow escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunos’s expression darkened instantly, a vein throbbing on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slammed a fist into the ground, forcing his battered body to its feet before spinning around, his face contorted with rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You damned vixen——!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ball of flame flickered to life in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t think you’ll get to die easily! Your little crutch is gone now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia rested her chin in one hand, tilting her head as she thought for a moment, then said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That may be true—but do you even have any mana left to fight with?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunos froze, his body going rigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flame in his hand sputtered and vanished into a wisp of smoke, gone without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......Looks like you really are completely spent~.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smirk tugged at the corner of Sylvia’s lips as a vast, overwhelming aura of mana began to radiate from her body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunos stared at her in terror, feeling as if he were standing before a terrifying, primordial beast rather than a human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, let’s put you out of your misery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! Hold on a second! AAAAAH——!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunos’s scream of terror was cut short as a brilliant burst of magical light engulfed his body completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seconds later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a massive chasm split the ground where he had stood. Hunos was nowhere to be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew——.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having disposed of her opponent, Sylvia let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Finally done. Those top brass from the Great Demon Mercenary Corps are such a hassle. If that idiot hadn’t walked right into my trap, this fight would’ve been way closer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief rest, her gaze drifted to the nearest crimson pillar of light piercing the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though dozens of pillars had already been destroyed, as long as the blood-red sky lingered, the World Tree would never be truly safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At any moment, it could collapse right before her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I need to hurry......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia’s figure vanished in a blur of motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, she reappeared at the base of the nearest pillar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful of monsters remained guarding it—not a single A-Rank warrior in sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dispatched the monsters with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, turning her attention to the red cylinder at the heart of the magic circle, she began to chant an incantation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, a Fifth-Tier spell blazed to life, hurtling toward the cylinder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cylinder shattered into dust, and the crimson pillar of light above slowly faded away, dissolving into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasted no time lingering. Locking onto her next target, she darted off once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>RUMBLE......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst a raging sandstorm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>three figures clashed violently, their attacks shaking the very earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earthen Flame Eruption——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charkin gripped his warhammer with both hands, slamming it down onto the ground with all his might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of searing flames erupted from the point of impact, incinerating every grain of sand in its path and melting the surrounding rock into glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai summoned every last ounce of strength to raise a towering barrier of solid rock, barely managing to block the devastating attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the assault was far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earthbreaker Hammer!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A colossal hammer forged from bedrock erupted from the ground beside him, hurtling toward him like a meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai raised a hand to block it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but his vision swam suddenly, his mind clouded by exhaustion. His spellcasting slowed by a split second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That split second was all it took.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earthbreaker Hammer slammed into his body, sending him flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crashed through dozens of sand barriers before finally grinding to a halt, his body battered and broken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai lay on the ground, coughing weakly as he struggled to prop himself up into a sitting position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough! Cough! Gasp——!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he lifted his upper body, a mouthful of blood sprayed from his lips, staining the sand red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai stared at the blood on his palm, a bitter smile tugging at his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Taking on two opponents at once really is too much to ask. This trap was never meant to handle more than one to begin with.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, he forced himself to stand once more, his legs trembling beneath him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, what now...... I wonder how many of the others are still alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BAM! BAM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two loud crashes echoed from the distance, growing closer by the second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai tightened his grip on his wand, his eyes hardening with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll die fighting right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than ten minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earthshatter!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molbai unleashed his final, most powerful spell, pouring every last drop of mana into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great Funeral Pyre!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rockshard Barrage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charkin and Eugene, both equally battered and exhausted, unleashed their own ultimate attacks in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM——!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive mushroom cloud billowed into the sky, the force of the explosion shaking the entire battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandstorm that had raged for so long was blown away instantly, dissipating into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fire and earth collided in a cataclysmic blast, completely engulfing Molbai. He vanished without a trace, leaving not even a word behind—only a shattered wand, which was soon buried beneath the shifting sands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Charkin and Eugene, the force of the shockwave sent them flying backward, tumbling across the ground like ragdolls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took them several minutes to catch their breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, they crawled out of the dirt, spitting out mouthfuls of sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pah! Pah! Pah!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charkin spat out the grit in his mouth, grumbling loudly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew it! Fighting alongside you is nothing but trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oi, Charkin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eugene came running over from the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skidding to a halt beside him, he sized Charkin up and down, then shrugged his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still alive, huh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charkin’s face turned beet-red with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You ran all the way over here just to check if I was dead, didn’t you?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah——”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eugene immediately looked up at the sky, avoiding his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right! Since we’re both still breathing, we should get back to the mission! See ya!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned on his heel and sprinted off without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oi! Get back here, you bastard! Explain yourself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eugene ignored him completely, vanishing into the distance in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those damn idiots! I’ll settle this with you later!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charkin cursed loudly, kicking a rock in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he lifted his head, his gaze falling on the remaining crimson pillars of light scattered across the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sigh. Guess I’ll have to hold off on resting until this is all over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muttering complaints under his breath, he trudged toward one of the pillars, his warhammer slung over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hope I don’t drop dead from exhaustion before this is over......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>......\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bitter wind that had howled for hours grew weaker and weaker, dying down to a gentle breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The frost covering the ground began to melt away, revealing the muddy earth beneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huff... That chick...... Huff... Was way tougher than I thought!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aznov gasped for breath, his lungs burning as he leaned heavily on his cannon barrel for support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That goes... Without saying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sandor panted nearby, his breath pluming in the cold air as he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That woman’s strong, no doubt about it! But......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wide grin spread across his face, revealing his sharp, white teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, we won!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a short distance away,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kina the Ice General sat slumped against an ice wall, her back pressed against the cold surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her aura was faint and weak—barely a shadow of its former glory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly lifted her head, her gaze falling on her two opponents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“!?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she looked at them, Aznov and Sandor tensed up instantly, their bodies going rigid as they raised their weapons, staring at her with wary eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“......”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they could both tell that Kina had no strength left to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the sheer brutality of the battle they’d just endured had left them shaken. Neither Aznov nor Sandor dared to lower their guard, not even for a second. They couldn’t risk betting their lives on the off chance that her weakness was just an act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly sensing their lingering wariness, Kina relaxed her posture completely, dropping all pretense of defense. But far from reassuring them, the unexpected gesture only made Aznov and Sandor take a cautious step backward, their suspicions deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Kina knew the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really did have no strength left to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting her guard down wasn’t a trick—it was simply that she didn’t want to waste her final moments on these two.\u003C\u002Fp>",1492,"2026-06-10T06:36:37.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b4ef7cb5c3149b2be870d9afda930c0683c72612f14f00eb08bd845071c0991","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-438","the-adventures-of-hulim-chapter-436",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-adventures-of-hulim-cover.jpg"]
