Village Head's Debauchery

Fifi immediately jumped back, widening the distance between herself and Stronghold Leader Zogar. She immediately healed, regrowing her frozen, shattered arm.

On the other side of the stage, another frozen form of Stronghold Leader Zogar split from his body, emerging from the ice. It flicked its finger against the massive lump of ice surrounding the real Stronghold Leader Zogar, instantly shattering it.

Witnessing this scene, Fifi couldn't help but audibly gulp.

The three Stronghold Leader Zogars stood side by side on the stage.

"As a Five-star Warrior, my gift no longer limits me to absorbing the characteristics of the material of anything I touch. It now allows me to absorb multiple materials, remember the ones I have previously touched, transform into them at will without needing to touch them again, and split myself into multiple forms, each made from different characteristics," Stronghold Leader Zogar stated.

He lifted his icy, frosty arm outward, showing as part of it transformed into rock. Then, his entire body shifted, transforming into molten lava. Another molten lava form of Stronghold Leader Zogar emerged from his body and stood beside him, bringing the total to four, each possessing a terrifying attribute.

"Of course, these are only my recently discovered new abilities. I still don't know their limits and haven't figured everything out yet. So, do you want to continue this battle, Warrior Fifi?" Stronghold Leader Zogar added, lightly smiling.

Stronghold Leader Zogar's voice echoed across the surroundings, ringing in the ears of everyone below the stage.

"This is the strength of a five-star warrior. It's frightening!" High King Kael muttered, gulping unconsciously after hearing the shocking revelation of Stronghold Leader Zogar's new abilities.

Orion, the other key leaders, and the Healers' Association leaders couldn't help but ponder the same thing, their hearts trembling as they watched Stronghold Leader Zogar.

They even began to feel unsure who would emerge victorious in a battle between Stronghold Leader Zogar and all the Vylkr warriors within the Village. At this point, unless they encountered a god, it was fair to say he was invincible.

Seraphina squinted her eyes at the unfolding scene with a pondering expression.

Unlike the others, she knew Stronghold Leader Zogar's weakness lay in his Vylkr Fusion Armlet. Because the Vylkr Fusion Armlet was the source of his newfound strength, it meant that if someone could precisely locate where he had hidden it during his transformation and had enough power to destroy or temporarily destabilize it, they could incapacitate him and reduce him to his former level of strength.

Thus, even though he was extremely powerful, he was not unbeatable.

She shifted her eyes towards Fifi and immediately noticed a shine in the centre of her belly, understanding that this was where she had hidden her Vylkr Fusion Armlet.

On stage, after absorbing Stronghold Leader Zogar's words briefly, Fifi snapped out of her daze. A solemn expression emerged on her face as she shook her head and uttered, "You win." She morphed back to her human form and stepped down from the stage.

Stronghold Leader Zogar's smile stretched into a grin as he stepped down from the stage.

Orion observed Fifi approaching him and asked, "Are you okay?" His eyes lingered on her now healed right arm.

"I'm fine," Fifi nodded, shifting her attention to Seraphina, who had arrived before them.

"Let's head back to the health centre so we can check on the Vylkr Fusion Armlet's condition and correct any issues," Seraphina said, her voice stern as she looked at Fifi before shifting her attention to Stronghold Leader Zogar, who had also heard her words.

"I'll visit later in the evening to check on your overall condition," Orion said, his eyes fixed on Fifi and Stronghold Leader Zogar.

They nodded and followed behind Seraphina and the Healers' Association Leaders as they stepped out of the training ground.

The key leaders bid farewell to each other and soon began to depart from the training ground one by one. They soon realized that Stronghold Leader Seth had already left once the battle ended, as he was nowhere to be found.

'I hope he doesn't do anything stupid,' Orion thought, understanding what was going through his mind right now as even he might have felt a little jealous of Stronghold Leader Zogar's sudden increase in strength had he not possessed a Six-star potential.

Orion turned his head towards Isadora, still trapped in her daze. "Isadora, we are leaving," he uttered a bit loudly.

Isadora snapped out of her daze and nodded her head anxiously before realizing that Orion was no longer in his previous position. She was nodding at empty air, so she turned towards Orion's current position.

"I'm sorry about that, Mr. Orion. We can get going," Isadora responded, slightly fumbling over her words as though she was still having trouble recovering her composure after witnessing everything that had just transpired.

Orion nodded, understanding that it would take time for her to get used to what was occurring, just as he had once done when he first arrived at this Village.

"Let's go. The Four-eared elves' gods' chosen, Captain Seig and his lieutenant, are waiting for us to meet them," Orion said, stretching his hand towards Isadora.

Isadora nodded in understanding and reached out to hold onto Orion's hand with a firm grip.

Orion immediately activated his power and transformed into his lightning-shaped form. Almost instantly, the two of them disappeared from their position, leaving behind the scorched ground and the faint crackling sound of lightning.

…....

Outside of the Orion's Cities

Seig took a deep breath as he gazed at the lush vegetation surrounding him, his eyes moist with emotion. He had never imagined that such a beautiful scene, previously only heard about in legends, would be right before him.

"Captain, are you crying?" Evadne asked, raising her brow sceptically as she observed him.

She hadn't expected her captain to become so emotional upon encountering the overgrown vegetation nurtured by the tree nymphs.

However, she wouldn't blame him for feeling moved by the serene beauty of the place; she felt tempted to lie down on the grass and let the cool breeze lull her to sleep with its gentle melodies.
