Several monsters wielding greatswords charged over at this moment, swinging their greatswords down, instantly smashing huge cracks into the ground. A few warriors, caught unaware, fell into the fissures.
Seeing this, Trianne quickly warned, "Those are Condemnation Vanguards, be extremely careful."
Castorice, guarding Derick and Trianne nearby, couldn't easily rush over.
Moreover, it was a melee over there. If Castorice went over, the deaths she caused might be even more numerous than those caused by the Condemnation Vanguards.
Fortunately, the Condemnation Gladiators had all been dealt with thanks to Derick's archery assistance. The Salthos warriors were freed up and attacked the Condemnation Vanguards together. With the advantage of numbers, these few Condemnation Vanguards were quickly eliminated by the Salthos tribe.
Seeing Mydei wasn't here, Derick called out to the Salthos people, "Have you seen my friend? He should have come over earlier."
A very old man stepped forward and answered Derick, "Your friend is currently fighting the Mad King's avatar. We've finished off the enemies here and are just about to go support him."
As he spoke, intense battle fluctuations came from the distance.
"I'll go support him too. Lady Trianne, please take the elderly and children here to a safe place."
"Derick?" Castorice looked at Derick with worried eyes.
"Isn't the purpose of coming here to coordinate in battle? Don't worry, I'll shoot arrows from a distance; I won't rush over to fight the Mad King desperately," Derick reassured Castorice.
Castorice nodded, agreeing to Derick's proposal.
The old man also knew that Derick, Castorice, and the others were the reinforcements from Okhema, so he didn't hesitate much and led them to support Mydei.
The crowd split into two groups and left. After they had all gone, a tall, pitch-black figure appeared here. Swinging the scythe in its hand, it began to dismember the corpses.
After finishing the dismemberment, its arms began to split, inserting themselves into the bodies of each Condemnation Gladiator, Condemnation Hunter, and Condemnation Vanguard.
This figure was naturally Derick's avatar. While supporting Mydei, he also quickly had the avatar come over to absorb the corpses, thereby increasing his own strength.
Soon, the corpses here were completely absorbed. Derick's avatar had already grown to a height of three meters. The energy within its body had also increased significantly.
Then, Derick controlled the avatar to look towards the intense battlefield, feeling eager.
If only he could absorb one of Nikador's avatars...
He controlled the avatar, quietly moving towards the other side of the battlefield.
He had to maintain a certain distance from his main body to ensure his immortality.
...
Derick and Castorice arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
At this moment, the rubble had been cleared to form a flat area several tens of meters wide. And in this flat area, Mydei was fiercely battling a monster several meters tall, wielding a long spear.
Derick could tell this was the same Nikador avatar the Trailblazer encountered upon first arriving in Okhema in the game. It was very strong, but not Nikador's main body.
"Nikador's avatar, I will tear you to pieces here. In the near future, I will kill your main body as well."
Mydei's gauntlet and the Nikador avatar's spear clashed violently.
Huge sparks flew, and both sides retreated more than ten meters.
Mydei pushed off the ground with both hands, leaping into the air. Spreading his arms, he smashed down fiercely towards the Nikador avatar. The Nikador avatar brought its spear horizontally to block Mydei's attack. However, the force of Mydei's attack was immense, and the Nikador avatar was slammed a meter deep into the ground.
But its reaction was also swift; its arm quickly swung around, smashing towards Mydei's body. Mydei's body was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground, but the Nikador avatar's arm was also torn open by Mydei.
Between the two, Mydei's injuries looked more severe. But due to the curse of immortality on his body, these wounds weren't a major issue.
The Salthos warriors watched this situation with wide eyes.
They never expected the battle with the Mad King's avatar to be so fierce; warriors like them couldn't interfere at all.
Mydei gasped for breath, then charged towards Nikador's avatar again.
Seeing this situation, Castorice said to Derick, "Derick, take care of yourself. I'm going to help Lord Mydei."
"Mm, you should be careful too."
Derick reminded Castorice.
"Don't worry." Castorice gave Derick a smile, then joined the battlefield.
The situation on the battlefield changed instantly.
Mydei and the Nikador avatar were locked in fierce combat. Castorice's appearance tipped the scales of war. The power derived from Thanatos fiercely attacked the Nikador avatar from behind. Caught off guard, the Nikador avatar instantly lost its balance. Mydei seized the opportunity, grabbed the avatar's spear, and slammed it hard onto the ground.
Gripping the Nikador avatar's arm, Mydei gritted his teeth and tore the arm off directly.
Mydei and Castorice raised their weapons, preparing to finish off this Nikador avatar. However, at this moment, the avatar let out a roar.
Instantly, countless Condemnation Hunters and Condemnation Vanguards descended from the sky.
Even Castorice and Mydei could only focus on defending themselves at this moment. Seizing this opportunity, Nikador's avatar quickly fled.
The Salthos tribe was also attacked. Faced with the choice between pursuing the Nikador avatar into the unknown and rescuing the Salthos warriors and Derick, both Castorice and Mydei chose the latter without hesitation.
Castorice quickly flew to Derick's side. Along the path she took, all the Condemnation Hunters fell dead.
Grabbing Derick's hand, Castorice asked with concern, "Derick, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine here." Derick shook his head, while his gaze remained fixed on the spot where the Nikador avatar was.
Not far from his avatar's location, now was the time to scavenge.
Castorice, seeing Derick's gaze, thought he was regretting the avatar's escape. Castorice quickly comforted Derick, "That was just one of Nikador's many avatars. Even if we eliminated it, we wouldn't be able to obtain Nikador's Core Flame. It wouldn't help the Flamechase Journey at all."
"Mm, I understand."
Derick nodded.
At this moment, Mydei had already dealt with the enemies alongside the Salthos people.
Mydei wiped his dirtied gauntlet and said to the crowd, "Let's go, let's rendezvous with Lady Trianne first."
