While Angus keeps shooting at the mindless bloated cardinal, the Royal Guards and other knights realize the distress of their princess.


    "Stay away from the Fourth Princess!! [Sword Art - zing sh]." shouted one of the Royal Guards.


    *BOOM* The royal guards didn''t hold back and released their full-powered attack. Receiving the sudden attack, the bloated cardinal was thrown far away from the side.


    "Idiot! Get out of here!!" shouted Jayna.


    *Bam* Before the Royal Guards react, one of them is suddenly tackled by the bloated cardinal. Despite the high-quality armor and various safety runes, the royal guard couldn''t even hold on a second before being embedded into a nearby building.


    During this time, the bloated cardinal releases ck gas and liquid. Three of the royal guards get hit by it and slump on the ground while screaming in pain. Their bodies not only turn ck but also begin to bloated.


    Then tentacles made of flesh came from the bloated cardinal towards the three royal guards and attached to their bodies. A momentter, theybine and be bigger. Seeing the gruesomebination, the nearby knights back off.


    "What is that thing?!" asked one of the knights nearby.


    "I.. I am also not sure. We didn''t have any information about such a thing." said the Karum knight.


    *Grooarr* After roaring loudly, the bloated flesh meat jumped towards Jayna again.


    ''Why does it keep targeting Jayna? Is it revenge?!'' thought Angus while shooting Snipe Shot.


    "Angus.. Angus.. It''s a meat bubble!! I want to burst it! Throw me! Throw me!" said Anna excitedly.


    "Huh?!" asked Angus confusedly.


    "Throw me!! I will pop it like a bubble." said Anna.


    Then, Angus turns silent for a moment andmunicates with Jayna.


    "Okay." said Angus while grabbing Anna''s hem.


    Without any sign and hesitation, Angus throws Anna high into the sky. *Fling*


    "WAAA!!" screamed Anna while flying high into the sky.


    "Lily, I suppose you don''t want to help us?" asked Angus.


    "Correct, Master Angus. Competing in Snipe Shot uracy and fighting the sixth-grade magician is different. Although I doubt such a thing could be called people anymore. Still, I don''t n to help master Angus any further." replied Lily.


    Lily is unlike any other homunculus created for the Heart kingdom''s weapon. She has a special privilege and position inside the kingdom. She has the freedom to do what she wants as long as it does not detriment the Heart Kingdom.


    Moreover, she has a strict order not to join any faction from Master Benjamin. Still, Master Benjamin does not restrict her choice and freedom to fight in the battle. She could fight anyone she wanted. However, it didn''t mean the other could coax and take advantage of her.


    Although Lily is still inadequate in socializing, her father will know if someone tries to take advantage of her with an underhanded tactic. In terms of cunningness, no one could match this 1000-year-old immortal bone.


    Therefore, King Leon strictly ordered not to coax or manipte Lily for their benefit. The one that vites this order will need topensate Master Benjamin and be executed on the spot.


    "Well, Since you are free, could you please keep recording that bloated lump of meat for future research?" asked Angus.


    "I already did from the start. That thing is kind of interesting. I am sure Father will be interested in it." said Lily.


    "Then, I will get going first." said Angus before flying towards Jayna''s direction.


    In the meantime, the Holy Knight and the priest leader from the four religious groups are still fighting the Gunk Baboon and the remaining rgos followers.


    Anny and Farron fight against the rgos leader while not letting Space-Belly Moth fly again. As for the rest, they fight against Gunk Baboon with the help of Adeline and her sh squad.


    "Secure the perimeter! Don''t let any Baboon escape! Keep covering your body with mana and Immediately apply potion to any wound!" shouted Adeline, the vice leader of the sh squad.


    Gunk Baboon is a huge Baboon with immense physical power and a disgusting way of attacking. They often throw their hardened feces as projectiles at the enemy. Not only is the feces stinky as hell, but it is also as hard as steel.


    Furthermore, since it has a very grubby life, their ws could cause severe infection to the wound. However, this is not the most dangerous part about Gunk Baboon. Gunk Baboon is ssified as a disastrous beast because it is a carrier of deadly ticks.


    Gunk Baboon is a very unhygienic creature and makes the tick in its body mutate. For the Gunk Baboon, this deadly tick could not cause them harm because of their body''s high resistance and immunity. But, it is a different case for other living beings.


    The deadly tick is called Gunk Tick. They can secrete poison and inject it through their bite. After the toxin umtes enough inside one body, it could cause brain death. The Gunk Tick''s poison also could be more deadly as the Gunk Baboon''s grade increases.


    In other words, any high-grade Baboon may be able to infect anyone, even the high-grade holy knights or sh squad. Furthermore, like any ape beast type, Gunk Baboon is very agile and always fights in groups.


    Facing this kind of creature, Adeline and her squad have a hard time even with the help of the other Holy Knights. Moreover, they couldn''t fight properly since there would be tremors and shockwaves once in a while.


    Not far from them, Farron and Anny are fighting hard against the one-horned Eucros. As a part of the demon race, One-horned Eucros has a massive amount of mana like the elf. With the Cruelty artifact in his hand, he could fight on par with Farron and Anny.


    *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* Destruction spreads around as they begin to give their all in this fight.


    "How dare you injure my precious moth!!" yelled Odiel, the One-Horned Eucros, while sending ck arc energy.


    "Huft... Huft... Is he a monster? How much mana does he have?" said Anny while drinking a mana potion and dodging the iing ck arc.


    In the meantime, Odiel also notices their cardinal Bn''s mana signature is gone. He also feels plenty of rgos'' divine energy near Bn''sst location.


    ''Tch.. Don''t tell me that old man Bn is dead?! This is seriously going out of our n.'' thought Odiel before shing with Farron.


    Meanwhile, Jayna keeps luring the bloated cardinal from everyone towards a certain location. Suddenly, she heard a voice from above.


    "I am flying!! I am flying!!" screamed Anna happily.


    *BOOMM* In the blink of an eye, Anna hit the bloated cardinal as it tried to jump at the exhausted Jayna. Using this opportunity, Jayna stopped at one of the nearby buildings and was caught by Angus, who appeared beside her.


    *Huft* *Huft* Jayna didn''t say anything as they kept using [Allegiance] tomunicate. *GROOARR* A roaring sound was heard from the cracked ground below. After the dust settles down, they find the entire area pasted with ck liquid and sttered meat.


    The bloated cardinal body mass is many times smaller than before, while Anna is bathed in ck blood liquid and meat uninjured. She keeps stomping the wriggling meat on the ground.


    "It burst! It burst!!" said Anna excitedly, ignoring her dirty appearance.


    The bloated cardinal seems angry at Anna''s sudden intrusion and charges at her. Looking at the iing lump of meat, Anna brandished her punch [Anna Punch]. *BAMM* Instantly, Anna is passing through the mindless cardinal body and holding a ck scepter.


    "Just that?!" said Angus.


    Angus and Jayna are surprised at how easily the little troublemaker handles the seemingly immortal lump of flesh that regenerates endlessly. During this moment, they find the scattered flesh is still wriggling around, moving toward Anna.


    Oblivious to this, Anna swung the ck scepter in her hand yfully. *Swing* *Swing* At this moment, the flesh stops approaching Anna and moving ording to the ck scepter''s direction.


    Noticing this, "Anna, try to gather all the scattered meat using the scepter." instructed Angus from above.


    "Hmm?? Alright." replied Anna after observing the ck scepter for a moment.


    Then Anna points to the ck scepter in front of her. Suddenly, all the surrounding flesh, ck gas, and liquid gather in front of Anna. They keep umting until they reach a four-meter-tall ck sphere.


    "Hmm.. Too big. Smaller!!" said Anna tapping the sphere with the scepter.


    Instantly, the spherepressed into the size of a rice ball. Without hesitation, Anna eats the whole ck sphere and swallows it in one gulp. Seeing this, Angus and Jayna immediatelye down and approach Anna.


    "Anna, how many times have I told you not to eat strange things? You could get a stomach ache." reprimanded Jayna with worry like a mother.


    At the same time, Angus could only facepalm for this little monster''s behavior. Then, he also notices some of the knights looking at Anna with fear. They could feel a very ominous aura from the scepter and Anna.


    "W-What is that thing?!!" said one of the religious knights.


    "We should kill that.." said another religious priest.


    *Bam* Before the priest spoke further, his head exploded, spreading its blood and brain part towards the surroundings. On the other hand, everyone could see Angus point at the priest''s head from his spot.


    "Speak more and you will be like him." said Angus coldly.
