Before Ethan could fully exhaust his energy and stamina, Elfin the Fifth and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild finally arrived. In front of them, as if enraged of what Ethan had just done to the carcass of the Beast Lord Red Hood Viper, the Beast Lord Nature Hercules turned even more insane and wild.

The Beast Lord Nature Hercules was no longer content with merely using its head to smash the barriers created by Elaine, rather it suddenly began acting like a minotaur as it moved a bit farther away from the barriers and later kicked one of its legs, sending dirt flying behind, with its head at the very front, and charged straight towards the barriers.

While that was happening, Elfin the Fifth and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild quickly cast Defensive Magic spells one after another to assist Elaine. Needless to say, the barriers she had cast alone would definitely not be enough to hold the Beast Lord Nature Hercules down, especially considering the fact that it had already been worn down by it after all of its relentless attacks.

In the following moment, close to ten barriers appeared before Elaine's Defensive Magic spells, further strengthening their defense.

Whoooosh! Whoooosh! Whoooosh!

Not long after, the charging Beast Lord Nature Hercules smashed into the barriers.

BOOOOOOOM!

It didn't take a long time for a few cracks to begin appearing on some of the barriers. As if the cracks were something contagious, they started slowly spreading from one barrier to another barrier, creating a cobweb-like shape on their surfaces. Later on, the cracks lead to numerous barriers getting destroyed seemingly like broken glass.

Every time a barrier was destroyed, the person who had cast it couldn't help but gasp for breathing, or spurt a mouthful of blood. This was the repercussion after not being able to swiftly pull back one's own Mana from their Defensive Magic spell the moment it got destroyed, similar to what had happened earlier back on top of the wall during the first round of attacks from the Magical Beasts affected with Savage Fox Potion.

"Can't... hold... on... anymore..." Elfin the Fifth mumbled as he started sweating profusely on his head, "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

BOOOOM!

Elfin the Fifth coughed out a mouthful of blood, "It is all up to you now..."

With Elfin the Fifth's barrier being destroyed, it was soon followed after by the remaining barriers of some of the Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, specifically Dan, Old-man Torre, Iasiah, Nightingale, and Elvis.

It was now up to Elaine's barriers to hold on against the Beast Lord Nature Hercules. And based on how things look, it would only take some time for all of them to be destroyed as well.

Fortunately, Ethan had finally completed his task. The entire carcass of the Beast Lord Red Hood Viper had now been successfully turned into nothing but tiny, tinny pieces of ashes.

"Let's get out of here," Charlotte, who had just arrived beside Ethan and Elaine, said while grabbing both of their waists.

Whoooosh!

As soon as Charlotte disappeared along with Ethan and Elaine, the barriers, also timely got destroyed by the Beast Lord Nature Hercules. If it took them even a second longer to teleport, then there's no doubt that they would receive the powerful attack of the Beast Lord Nature Hercules. They are really lucky that it did not happen.

"That was close," Ethan remarked while wiping the sweat that covered his forehead.

"Close?! No, we were basically just a few inches away from a life-threatening situation!" Elaine exclaimed tearfully as she started pounding Ethan's chest.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I am sorry! I am really sorry! You know that I didn't mean it, right?" Ethan defended himself while trying to shield his body from Elaine's punches. Even though her attack was soft, it still caused a lot of pain to him since his body is extremely weak right now.

In Ethan's opinion, there was seriously nothing wrong with what he had just done. He only tried to conserve some energy and stamina so that he could still help them after dealing with this mess that they have caused. It was just that things suddenly and quickly got out of hand, thus almost endangering their lives.

"Ethan, promise me that you will never ever do something as crazy as that again, okay?" Elaine asked with a pout on her gorgeous face.

Earlier ago, Elaine was unconscious after they got devoured by the Beast Lord Red Hood Viper. It was only after a bit of time passed that Ethan woke her up, thus she was still able to buy him some time through her Defensive Magic spells. But if things didn't go that way, like for example, he failed to wake her up from her unconscious state, then Elfin the Fifth and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild alone would undoubtedly be unable to buy him enough time for him to completely burn the carcass of the Beast Lord Red Hood before the Beast Lord Nature Hercules' attack arrives, especially based on how things looked like just a few moments ago.

"I can't promise you that..." Ethan shook his head in response.

Regardless of how much Ethan doesn't want to experience doing something as dangerous and life-threatening as that, again, it is impossible for them to completely avoid it. The place that he and Edward need to go in order for them to save their mother and things that the Mischievous Lion Guild is planning to achieve after that are the kind of situations that are not short of any sort of dangers. If they really want to avoid that, then their only choice is to go back to the Lionheart Kingdom and live a peaceful life.

However, by doing that, it is the same as watching their mother continue escaping from reality through her dreams, and even worst, standing by the sidelines while the Gods of the Celestial World repeatedly destroy Kingdoms and Empires one after another. Once they choose to do that, they would definitely have a lot of regrets in their entire life, hence giving them the total contrary to their desire to live a peaceful life.

"Enough talk! We still have two problems to deal with," Charlotte quickly interrupted Ethan and Elaine from their own world.

"Yes, ma'am!" Ethan and Elaine replied in unison.

At this moment, both the Beast Lord Mountain Mammoth and Beast Lord Nature Hercules are now surrounding them in two different directions, specifically to their south side and north side. Currently, all of them are in the center.

Noticing the danger of their current situation, Elfin the Fifth and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild quickly gathered together with Charlotte and the others.

It isn't the time yet to show how courageous they are, especially now that they only have half of their remaining energy and stamina left after this short fight. The most important thing right now is to work together to deal with this situation.

They might have saved themselves from really big trouble, but unfortunately, there is still another big trouble waiting in front of them right now.

Considering that they don't have their full strength anymore, there's a much bigger chance for things to go wary if they aren't careful enough. They really can't afford to do that.

"So, what's your plan?" Charlotte asked Elfin the Fifth.

"None," Elfin the Fifth shook his head in response. He then turned to, look at Elvis and asked, "How about you? Do you have any?"

"Is fighting until death counted as a plan?" Elvis said with a wry smile on his face.

"You can do it yourself if you want to die," Ethan sarcastically stated.

"Shut up! You can't even do anything right now!" Elaine quickly smacked the head of her husband, Ethan.

As everyone was thinking of what to do, the Beast Lord Mountain Mammoth and Beast Lord Nature Hercules were slowly moving closer towards Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion, evidently intending to squash this bunch of ants.

Unbeknownst to the Beast Lord Mountain Mammoth and Beast Lord Nature Hercules, behind them, numerous Flyingboats were hovering closer and closer.

Seeing this, Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte, and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild really wanted to jump in celebration. With this, their number one trouble is solved. 

"Hah! I thought that they wouldn't arrive yet," Iasiah said in delight as he watched their reinforcement arriving.

"Now that they are finally here, there is no need for us to worry anymore," Nightingale heaved a sigh of relief.

"Finally, this damn nightmare is going to stop!" Elvis can't help holding Elaine's hand tightly.

Just when the Beast Lord Mountain Mammoth and Beast Lord Nature Hercules arrived a few tens of meters away from Elfin the Fifth, and Charlotte and the other Executives of the Mischievous Lion Guild, dozens of loud explosions coming from war weapons sounded. In the next moment, everyone heard a loud wail of pain from both of the Galaxy-level Magical Beasts as their bodies received the full onslaught of the attacks.

ROOOAAAAAR!

ROAAAAAAAR!
