At this critical time, they decided that it was the right time to use these chaotic magic treasures and
powerful runes. They needed to fight back with all their might to protect Austin.
They knew that their foes were extremely powerful, so no one dared to avert their focus even for a split
second.
"Are you sure that's what you want to do? Don't be too arrogant and bite off more than you can chew!
Get out of the way or you're the ones to die first!" Ace yelled with a devilish grin on his face.
The Demonic Flag which was rolling towards Austin suddenly turned and darted towards Quinn.
She was just a preliminary-grade divine god, but she still took courage and gave it her all to protect
Austin.
From what Austin noticed about her, she was a lively and sincere woman who was not afraid to take
heavy responsibilities.
Crash! Boom!
Seeing that Austin was under attack, Quinn quickly activated her chaotic magic treasure. It was a clear
green bracelet that gave off brilliant lights, like the shining stars in the sky. From it, a cosmic star power
came pouring out.
Crash!
However, this was where experience in battle showed the difference in power.
On the clash between Ace and Quinn, the green bracelet was blown violently by the Demonic Flag.
A mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, making her face turn pale in an instant.
Even with the chaotic magic treasure, she was still far from being a match for Ace.
Quinn understood that too. Ace's strength was several levels above hers.
Furthermore, the Demonic Flag held by Ace was also much more advanced than her chaotic magic
treasure.
Thus, there really wasn't much that she could do if she was to face him in a head-on battle.
"Don't say I didn't warn you! Now, die!"
Ace didn't even give her a moment to recover. He dashed towards her again pointing the Demonic Flag
in her direction. Quinn froze in fear as she felt that death was actually wrapping her.
In the face of Ace's monstrous power, she had no chance of surviving.
Even if she ran away now, it would be too late for her.
Even if the other gods of light turned and tried to save her, they also wouldn't make it in time.
'Am I going to die like this?'
At this very moment, Quinn had already abandoned all hope. Tears welled up from her eyes and
trickled down her delicate face as she smiled bitterly.
"Quinn!"
another female god of light by the name of Petty cried out in fear.
She knew that there was nothing she could do to save her friend, so she just helplessly called out to
her out of desperation and frustration.
They were pretty close that her heart was crushed when she saw Quinn suffering from so much pain.
But in the end, she had no way to save her from her miserable death.
Just as when everyone already gave up and accepted the inevitable result, a figure suddenly appeared
out of nowhere and stood in front of Quinn.
It was Austin.
Crash!
In the nick of time, Austin's body blocked the approaching Demonic Flag. He was the one hit, and the
huge impact sent his body flying backward with great momentum.
Quinn, who was directly behind Austin, didn't see it coming and didn't have enough time to react to
everything that was happening.
Boom!
As a result, Austin's body collided with her, and the two of them were thrown off.
However, most of the impact from the Demonic Flag's power was blocked by Austin's body. Thus,
Quinn only received the residual waves of energy and wasn't hurt at all.
Austin managed to stand up after and coughed out a lot of blood.
That was when they noticed that several huge holes were created from the impact, making his blood
gush out terribly.
"Austin! Why?"
Quinn couldn't believe what just happened. Tears started pouring on her face as she felt incredibly
grateful and worried for him at the same time. Austin's body was on the verge of breaking down as he
took a direct hit from the Demonic Flag. He did it all just to save her.
"Austin, are you alright?"
The other gods of light rushed towards Austin to check his condition.
"Humph! I must admit that you are indeed courageous,"
Ace remarked with a sullen face. His voice was obviously full of hatred despite the words of praise.
Ace and the other warriors stopped attacking Austin for a while because they were afraid of the
consequences if they hurt the evil baby inside him.
"What are you waiting for? I told you to run…
Just escape now! Aaargh!"
Austin shouted at Ingram and the others with all his remaining strength. After that, he let out a painful
scream. It was as if something was happening inside of him that he could not suppress anymore.
"W-wait.
What's happening with him?"
All of a sudden, everyone's eyes widened as they noticed that something wrong was going on in
Austin's body.
It was visible to all that his body was constantly undergoing a dramatic change. One moment, his body
was shining with golden light, the next moment, it was as dark as ink.
There was also a time when half of his body was golden and the other half was pitch black.
Everyone was confused as to what was really happening. Their eyes widened and their jaws dropped
as they tried to comprehend what was going on.
Then, two colossal and destructive auras came out of Austin's body.
At the same time, it could be noticed that cracks began appearing on the surface of his body. These
cracks immediately spread out and covered his entire body. Each moment was grueling and
unpredictable.
It seemed like there was a great pressure built up inside his body that was crushing him little by little.
"Aaargh!"
Austin was still screaming in pain. His face twisted and his entire body felt like it was going to explode
any minute.
The agony was so horrifying that he felt like his body and spiritual soul were being torn apart every
passing second.
