The atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone looked at the Crow Beast in astonishment. They all felt that Crow Beast did not know how to appreciate the favor the leader was giving him. The Alliance Leader had already put down his dignity, but as a disciple, Crow Beast still put on such a show.
Humans were such strange creatures. They clearly could not solve their own problems, but they still had the time to care about other people’s matters that had nothing to do with them. It was really too strange.

The Alliance Leader smiled and shook his head. “It’s okay, Crow Beast. I’m giving you a mission. Are you interested in doing it?”

The youth tumed around and asked, “What Mission?”

The Alliance Leader said, “Sneak into the barrier and open it.”

He shook his head and said, “I can’t go in.”

The Alliance Leader smiled and said, “What if I have a way to block that tree? Can you go in?”

The youth nodded and said, “Yes.”

The Alliance Master smiled and said,

“Good! As expected of my disciple! It’s decided. Tonight, I’l cast a spell to shield that tree. You take the opportunity to sneak into the barrier. We’ll work together from the inside and outside to pull out the last nail of the Otherworld!”

Crow Beast nodded and turned to leave.

Akari came to Mike’s side. She looked at Mike and said, “What did you do?”

Mike shrugged and said to her, “What do you think I’ll do? Do you think I can impersonate the Dark High Priest?”
Akari was instantly discouraged. She understood that this matter had nothing to do with Mike.

The great Dark High Priest left Akali with two words: Be yourself!

Akali smiled bitterly and said, “Teacher still understands me. I admit that ever since Teacher left, I’ve been looking at things from his point of view. However, I don’t have Teacher’s strength, which is why I’m so tired. I always want to take on everything for all the Junior Sisters by myself, but I’ve neglected
Teacher’s original intention. Teacher wanted the Junior Sisters to take care of things on their own. I… ‘m really… too stupid.”

Mike patted Akari’s shoulder and said, “Now, don’t you understand your teacher’s good intentions? It’s not too late. It just so happens that the Tree Monster King and I, two divine-tier experts, are here. We can also act as a guardian for you, giving you a higher chance of success.”
Akari smiled and said, “Then I’ll go prepare now. How about you help me in ten days?”

Mike nodded with a smile.

It was nighttime, and the gray sky became pitch-black.

The Alliance Leader stood outside the barrier, looking at the Great Snow Mountain, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He took out a bowl and chanted a spell. Soon, a puff of black smoke rose from his eyes and swept toward the Great Snow Mountain.

Bark, the Tree Monster, stood on the Mountain. He looked at the puff of black smoke and felt really irritated.

He realized that his spiritual power could not reach beyond the boundary!

The Alliance Leader sent a message to the Guardian, Crow Beast. The Guardian immediately pressed his hand on the barrier. Soon, he changed into another appearance and walked to the other side of the barrier.
Mike suddenly raised his head. He looked in the direction of the barrier and frowned.

He had the dragon head, so he had naturally noticed everything that had happened. The cloud of black smoke could hide the user from the Tree Monster King, but it could not hide from him.

Mike transmitted his voice to the Tree Monster King. “Someone is going to cross the barrier. I will chase him out. Please pay attention to other directions, Tree Monster King.”

The Tree Monster King said, “Don’t worry. If someone enters this Snowstorm City, I will definitely discover it.”

Mike was relieved and flew to the front of the barrier in an instant.

He looked at the Guardian who had just entered the barrier and asked, “Sir, is there anything special about your late-night visit? If not, please go back. Snowstorm City is in a special period, and it is not a good time for guests.”
Crow Beast looked at Mike and put on a silly expression.

Mike frowned and asked, “Sir, can you leave this place?”

Crow Beast shook his head and instantly raised his right hand. Countless crows appeared, blocking Mike’s vision and spiritual power detection.

Mike was shocked, but he reacted quickly. He immediately activated the power of the dragon head and scanned the divine power inside the barrier. Soon, he locked onto the Crow Beast’s position.

With a bang, Mike blasted Crow Beast out of the air.

Mike looked at Crow Beast and asked, “Your Excellency gives me a very familiar feeling. Have we met before?”

The Guardian still did not speak. He pulled out a short sword from his sleeve and stabbed it at Mike.

‘The Guardian’s short sword was like a sinister viper. Each and every attack was aimed at his vital points. Mike did not panic. After all, he was also good at close combat.

Mike activated the great divine power of heaven and earth and restrained the Guardian’s dagger. But soon, a black light flashed, and Mike’s great divine power of heaven and earth was instantly broken. The dagger continued to stab forward, vowing to take Mike’s life.
Mike condensed the High-level sword and attached the killing intent to the sword, stabbing fiercely at the Guardian.

Mike actually gave up on his own defense and prepared to fight the Guardian in a way that traded injuries for injuries.

Crow Beast frowned. He did not dare to compete with Mike in terms of physical fitness, so he could only take the initiative to retreat. At the same time, he used his spiritual power to protect his body, preventing Mike from breaking through successfully.
After the first round of confrontation, the battle between the two human rights could be considered a draw.

‘The Alliance Leader was waiting anxiously outside the barrier. He looked at the cloud of fog in the sky and felt increasingly frustrated.

The High Priest walked to the side of the Alliance leader and said,

“Alliance Leader, don’t panic. The Guardian has rich experience. He will definitely be able to solve the problem on his own.”

The Alliance Leader frowned and said in a low voice, “Do you know that the black fog has a time limit? If time passes, it will dissipate automatically. At that time, we can only watch helplessly as guardian ah is surrounded and attacked!”

“I’s a pity that we can not directly attack this high-level barrier. Otherwise, breaking this barrier would be a piece of cake!”

suddenly, shocking sounds of battle came from inside the barrier. When the Alliance Leader and the High Priest heard this sound, their expressions changed.

‘The Alliance Leader made a prompt decision and said, “We can’t wait any longer. We must act immediately. Otherwise, if Crow Beast stays in there for one more minute, it will be more dangerous.”

With the Alliance Leader’s order, everyone began to attack the barrier.

However, something shocking happened very quickly. Those whose strength was lower than the heaven-tier were frozen the moment they came into contact with the barrier. Cold air flowed along their bodies and soon, they were frozen into ice sculptures.
Everyone hesitated. They looked at the Alliance Leader, not sure what to do.

The Alliance Leader sighed and said,

“Those with high-tier troops and below, retreat first. Those with heaven-tier, follow me to take a look.”

suddenly, the Guardian flew out, and the Alliance master hurriedly went forward to catch him.

The Guardian’s hands were crossed in front of his chest, and his flesh was a bloody mess. The bones inside were almost reduced to powder. He spat out blood, and his breathing became weaker…
