"What is that...?"
"It's something that was going to devour the city, but we stopped it, no, them." Felix said calmly and folded his arms in front of him.
His aura intensified, and his eyes began to bleed. Hundreds of small lotuses appeared on the walls of the funnel, all the way to the top. They opened up, creating a single barrier that was supposed to protect other areas from attack.
"Agh!" Felix spat out a clot of blood and breathed heavily. Even for him to do something like that was very difficult.
"Huh, he made good on his promise. Now the city will be all right, and we can fight without holding back." Wain muttered.
"Yeah, but that creature looks scary."
Arms kept appearing from the abyss, and two massive monsters climbed up. They looked like wild beasts, covered in blood and spiky vines with creepy jaws. They were one of the Blood Twins.
The monsters looked the same, and even their auras were no different.
"Rooooaaarrr!"
The Blood Twins roared and attacked. They simultaneously brought their massive paws down from top to bottom, crushing and killing some of the Plants. They turned them into bloody blobs, and it horrified everyone.

Then the other Blood Twins came out on top, their numbers growing steadily.
"Felix, can you protect us?" Carlos exclaimed.
"No, I've spent too much energy defending the city, it's impossible now." Felix shook his head and took off on a lotus petal. He didn't even have the strength left to defend himself in case of danger, he had fulfilled his role.
Felix's task was to protect the city, it was up to the other leader of the great families to destroy his enemies.
Whooooooosh.
Leon threw the trident sharply at one of the Blood Twins. The trident flew through the monster and made it burn in scarlet flames. However, the other Blood Twin did not do anything. He touched the wounded monster, and some blood went to its wounded mate.
The fire quickly extinguished, and the monster regenerated.
"Damn, not only are they strong, but they can help each other, but they seem to have weak defenses." Leon muttered.
He generated a new trident and raised it high above his head, "Don't you dare back down! They are nothing more than mindless clots of blood! Use your strongest skills and keep a safe distance!"
Leon knew how to act in such situations. He understood that people were afraid, their friends and mates had died before their eyes, but it was an illusion that they couldn't win. The Bloody Twins took them by surprise and nothing more.
"Yes!!!"
The Plants responded to his call, and their fighting spirit was awakened in them. They stopped being afraid, and the Bloody Twins began to lose and had to retreat. The four monsters were thrown back, but then four more Blood Twins crawled out of the abyss.
They merged with their brothers and became much stronger. The injured Blood Twins fully recovered, grew much larger, and had blood plate armor on their bodies.
"What?! They can unite?!" Carlos exclaimed and attacked. He swung his sword and created a pink energy blade, but it couldn't scratch the Blood Twin.
The monster looked at him and ran like a wild beast. The ground trembled, and rocks flew apart.
Carlos decided not to retreat. He teamed up with the other elders of the Fallen Lotus Family. They created a magical circle from which a massive beam of energy flew out. It pierced Blood Twin, but the wound instantly healed, and the monster brought two paws down on them.
The elders were seriously wounded, and only Carlos managed to retreat in time.
"Damn, how can we beat them?!"
"Hey, even the elders of the Fallen Lotus Family failed. What chance do we have then?"
"We need to run! They'll kill us all!"
Because of the elders' defeat, the fighters began to panic again. They were ready to fight to defend their home, but most didn't have enough courage to die for it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"They don't even see a chance to win, so their reaction isn't surprising." Felix watching the fight from above, muttered, "But, Leon is considered the strongest for a reason."
Leon understood that the situation was critical, and he decided to use one of his strongest skills.
His hair glowed, and a massive fire circle appeared above one of the four monsters in the sky. A spear appeared in the circle's center whose flames could burn anything. It swiftly descended upon the Blood Twin, a deafening explosion.
The flames engulfed everything around it, the remaining blood lotuses were incinerated, and the fire rose to the top. Only the main flower and root managed to survive, as three Blood Twins protected it.
Many Plants could have suffered from the flames, but Felix's armor protected them. However, the energy armor shattered into tiny pieces after this attack, and the Plants were left unprotected. This showed how strong Leon's attack was.
Leon didn't stop there. He was determined to end the Bloody Twins right now, and he didn't care about the consequences. Even if many nobles had to die for it, he was fine with that.
He stretched his arm forward and created a seal in the air from which a large sphere slowly emerged. It was covered in flames and looked like a small sun.
"Roooaarrr!"
The Blood Twins roared in pain and tried to attack the sun, but their paws burned as fast as dry twigs.
Leon breathed heavily, it was his most powerful skill, but despite this, the sun continued to descend and incinerate the Blood Twins.
The Plants retreated from the epicenter as quickly and as far away as possible, as this attack was also deadly for them. They felt the heat, and some had already managed to get wounds and burns.
The sun was getting closer, and the main root began to burn. The Blood Twins didn't know what to do, they were strong but stupid, all they could do was try to withstand this flame.
When the flames almost reached the main blood lotus, the flower glowed brightly, and the Blood Twins' bodies trembled.
