Franklin took the lead in the charge. Since all the representatives agreed to attack together, they wouldn’t stand back at a time like this. They all jumped up and attacked.

  Auster followed Franklin, and rushed into the spell formation. Meanwhile, all kinds of magic spells and secret attacks were launched at that octopus monster in the middle of the seal from behind them.

  Krassu protected Babla as they stepped to the side so that she wouldn’t be injured by accident.

  Urien crossed his arms and stood to the side. He had no inclination to help.

  Dexter looked at Mag. The latter shook his head. He, too, stood where he was without making a move. His gaze was focused on Josh.

  “Master, we…”


  Rex had already pulled Connie out of the cave’s vicinity as soon as she spoke. He stood in front of her, and ordered, “Don’t look, don’t listen.”


  Louis and Douglas glanced at each other before tossing two magic spells symbolically.

  Smash!

  Franklin, who was leading the charge, smashed his mace into a tentacle. The gooey, serous fluid and chopped meat flew everywhere. That tentacle was almost severed by his mace.

  However, at the very next second, three tentacles smashed into his chest hard. The dragon scale armor was shattered instantly, and the black tornado was dispersed too. The thick mace was sent flying.

  Franklin spat out a mouthful of blood with fear in his eyes. There were still a few tentacles that were spiraling towards his body that was flying backwards.

  Right at that moment, Auster rushed forward with a big black saber, and dashed into the cluster of tentacles like a black tornado.

  Dozens of magic spells and secret skills landed on that octopus monster too. Dazzling lights exploded and landed on that octopus monster. However, as if they were dumped into a swamp, the attacks from the 20-odd 10th-tier powerhouses didn’t cause any ripples.

  “What a terrifying defensive power!!!”


  Everyone was shocked. This super defensive capacity that was completely unharmed after undertaking so many 10th-tier powerhouses was already beyond their imagination.

  However, the fight had already started, and Franklin and Auster were still in the spell formation. There was no way they could stop now.

  Right at that moment, Josh pointed the magic wand that he had been waving for a long time at the spell formation. An inconspicuous exploding fireball flew towards the spell formation amongst all the dazzling attacks. However, it wasn’t flying towards that octopus monster. Instead, it was flying towards that spell formation on the ground.

  The eyes of Irina, who had been paying attention to Josh, lit up. She raised her hand, and a light shield appeared in front of that exploding fireball.

  That fireball exploded, and a ripple appeared on that light shield, but the base of the spell formation wasn’t harmed.

  “Irina!” Joey looked at the light shield that suddenly appeared with shock. He instinctively looked at Irina.

  Irina looked at him coldly. Those pure blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the filth and darkness at the bottom of his heart.

  ?Josh’s heart was racing. He tried his best to remain calm, but his hand that held the magic wand couldn’t help but tremble.

  ?Mag looked at Josh and pursed his lips perplexedly. His actions had basically proved that he had already made a deal with the devil. He might not have sold his soul yet, but this was already enough.

  At the same time, Franklin and Auster, who had entered into the spell formation, were trapped in a dire condition. Numerous tentacles spiraled towards them, and they could no longer get out by themselves.

  “Our attacks cannot break through its defense! Get them out of there!!!” Michael yelled loudly as he watched the two people in danger within the seal.

  A dazzling Holy Light pierced into the seal, and that octopus monster let out a shrill roar.

  At the same time, Douglas and Urien activated the Ice Seal Domain and Frost Domain together. The tentacles that were squirming crazily slowed down, but the frost rapidly disappeared too.

  Dexter raised his crystal ball up, and chanted an ancient and mysterious spell. A monstrous wave crashed down hard, and blocked the tentacles behind the two of them. A gap that they could move was open again.

  “Let’s go!” Franklin roared angrily before turning around, and ran to get out of the seal. Just as he was about to dash out of the seal, a tentacle that got out of the frost’s restraint slammed into his back hard, and sent him flying and crashing into the stone wall.

  As for Auster, who was surrounded by the tentacles, he wasn’t that lucky. Before he could dash to the spell formation’s periphery, his left hand was entangled by a tentacle, which twirled up his arm like a snake quickly.

  “Oh no!”


  Everyone was shocked to see that. If he was dragged away by the octopus monster, the consequences would be disastrous.

  Auster was also a tough guy. Since he knew he couldn’t get away from that tentacle, and other tentacles were rushing towards him, he gritted his teeth and swung his ax at himself. He chopped off his left arm that was entangled by the tentacle, and pounced out of the spell formation.

  Novan raised his hand and tugged him out in mid air. The fresh blood that was gushing out formed a parabola. He barely got away from the tentacle that almost grabbed his foot.

  In the spell formation, that octopus monster raised Auster’s severed arm with a tentacle, and waved it arrogantly before tossing it into that big mouth which was filled with rows of sharp teeth.

  “My arm—”


  Auster was supported by people as he pressed on his severed arm and let out a screech.

  “This is a monster! A terrifying monster!”


  Franklin crawled out of the rubble himself. He stared at the octopus monster in the seal spell formation with fear as he coughed out blood.

  All the representatives had similar expressions. They all witnessed Franklin, who was known for his destructive force, fail to cut off one tentacle with all his might, and almost get slammed to death by one tentacle.

  How were they going to fight against it?

  That fellow had thousands of tentacles!

  They had an emotional breakdown.

  The octopus monster slammed against the spell formation to vent its frustration. All the representatives were fearful when they looked at that flashing seal barrier.

  At this moment, they finally realized what this thin-looking seal spell formation meant.

  Michael secretly heaved a breath of relief. Looking at the expressions of all the representatives, the intimidation effect had been achieved. Hence, he said, “Everyone, you have seen the devil with your own eyes, and witnessed its power yourselves. This matter concerns the future and safety of the Norland Continent. We need all the races to work together in order to achieve the final victory. Now, let’s return to the restaurant first.”


  The representatives didn’t object. The atmosphere here was oppressive and scary. Every second they spent here was stressful, and they couldn’t wait to leave.

  “Wait a minute. There’s no rush to leave first.” Irina stepped out, and sneered at Josh. “We have a traitor from the devil’s camp among us. I don’t want to be stabbed in the back while I’m fighting if we don’t catch him and deal with him first.”


  “Traitor?”


  All the representatives looked at Irina with shock and doubt, and instinctively stepped away from the people around them.

  “Irina, you can’t be talking about me, right?” Josh looked at Irina with shock. He didn’t look panicked. Instead, his expression had a hint of innocence and absurdity.
