Chapter 1481: Chapter 947: Unveiling (Part 3)

At this moment, the rift was securely suppressed within a radius of one hundred meters by a temporary energy barrier.

Around it, soldiers in standard workwear were tensely constructing a wall with enchanted stones — a "Rift Siege" standard tactic advocated by the Night Watchers, and once completed, only a rotation of soldiers for clearing is needed.

In the distance, the town’s silhouette loomed in the bloody sunset, sparse smoke rising stubbornly to show that life still continued.

On the hillside, Lord Count Alfred rode on a tall warhorse.

His mottled armor was covered with cracks, and a Void erosion wound deep enough to see bone on his left shoulder was slowly healing under the careful attention of the accompanying Priest.

Beside him, his assistant — the seemingly immature young Knight Edmund — was rapidly reporting the battle situation.

"Sir, the progress of the fence project has reached seventy percent, expected to be completed by tomorrow morning. The Night Watchers’ support troops have fully taken control of the core defense line."

Alfred nodded wearily, his gaze fixed unblinkingly in the direction of the rift, recalling with lingering fear the dramatic battle just now.

"Edmund, are you sure that two Legendary-tier creatures really emerged from that rift?"

Alfred’s voice was dry and hoarse, his fingers unconsciously rubbing a deep dent on his armor repeatedly.

"When the energy readings soared wildly, I thought this territory was doomed — the last time two Legendary Void Creatures appeared, they flattened Havenfort in the Northern Territory."

The assistant quickly pulled up records from the tactical terminal:

"Yes, Count. The datafication system clearly captured two exceptionally strong high-energy signals, but the Night Watchers’ reaction... was astonishingly quick. The two Legendary heroes they sent suppressed the crisis decisively in just over half an hour."

At that moment, a muffled rumbling echoed from the far end of the battlefield.

Alfred suddenly looked up and saw a swift silver radiance — Vane, Captain of the Soul Guardian "Stardust Watcher," calmly displaying power as a newly ascended Legendary.

The ear-splitting roar of the Void Creature "Split Claw Giant Beast" resounded, its massive sharp claw, imbued with corrosive energy, viciously struck towards the line of defense, but Vane stood like a rock.

A fluid motion of liquid metal-like silver glow instantly appeared around him, this was the rule he comprehended.

The attack fell hard on the shield he condensed instantly, emitting an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, the shield surface was riddled with dents but incredibly stood firm, absorbing all the frenzied impact.

Vane let out a low roar and the shield suddenly counter-pushed, a burst of abundant power exploded, astonishingly pushing the giant beast’s massive body back several steps.

The powerful counter from passive defense perfectly matched the essence of his rule.

Almost simultaneously, another figure ghosted out of the shadows.

Legolas, Vane’s teammate, smoothly drew and aimed his longbow from the shadow.

The rule he chose was at this moment vividly showcased.

The arrow was not directly aimed, but precisely predicted the giant beast’s movement trajectory, nailing into an inconspicuous rune trap on the ground.

The trap was triggered, the ground eerily sank into quicksand, and just as the giant beast was caught off guard losing balance, Legolas’s second arrow arrived shadow following form.

The arrow split mid-air, morphing into several hunting ribbons that coiled like snakes around the giant beast’s joints.

He agilely leveraged into the air.

The third arrow, carrying a screeching whistle, precisely pierced into the giant beast’s eye socket, accurately detonating the internal energy core.

The entire process was fluid, full of rhythm, akin to a meticulously orchestrated hunting artistry — this was the "hunting" essence he gained from the rule’s dome trial.

Alfred watched in stunned amazement, almost forgetting to breathe.

The collaboration of two young Legendaries was seamless perfection.

Vane with his absolute resilience in confrontation, Legolas with his lethal ingenuity in termination.

In mere moments, the two fiercely blazing Legendary Void Creatures were transformed into dispersing black mist, leaving the defense line miraculously unharmed.
