Sacrifice's Rise: I Became Invincible After Entering Godslayer Temple

Chapter 495 495-The Arrival of the Mystery Saint

Shatras, witnessing the three silent figures before her, grew increasingly anxious. 

She was eager for them to quickly devise a defense strategy for the Naga Tribe.

"Her Majesty the Queen has made the situation quite clear. Given this, have any of you thought of a way to help the Naga Tribe successfully defend against this threat?"

Shatras's words snapped the Naga Queen, Mystery Protector, and Duke Arsena back to the present. 

They had been preoccupied with pondering the recent events, but Shatras reminded them that their immediate priority was to prevent the Naga Tribe from being annihilated by the Mystery Power, which would potentially lead to the resurrection of the Mystery Saint.

"I believe that conventional methods will not suffice for our defense! Let's utilize all the divine scrolls we have. With their help, we can construct a barrier. This barrier should be able to withstand the onslaught of the Mystery creatures for a while. During this time, we can seek help from others. There are still some powerful individuals in the Northern Myst Empire. If I can leave the Naga Tribe, I can request these experts from the Northern Myst Empire for support."

Mystery Protector quickly formulated a plan. 

In his view, relying solely on their own strength for defense was no longer feasible.

This suggestion to use divine scrolls to create a protective barrier, while seeking external assistance, appeared to be a practical approach under the dire circumstances. 

The challenge now was to implement this strategy swiftly and effectively, as the threat from the Mystery Saint and the creatures grew more imminent.

Recognizing the need for more powerful assistance to ensure a successful defense, Mystery Protector decided to leave the Naga Tribe and return to the Northern Myst Empire. 

He believed that if he could clearly convey the situation to the other experts there, they would undoubtedly come to their aid immediately.

The Naga Queen did not object; in fact, she hoped that Mystery Protector would quickly inform others in the Northern Myst Empire about their predicament. 

After receiving the Queen's consent, Mystery Protector attempted to leave using a Teleport Spell, but it failed to activate.

Upon witnessing this, Duke Arsena stated directly, "It seems that Mystery Power has sealed off the Naga Tribe area! None of us can leave successfully now! We must rely on our own strength for defense!"

This revelation alarmed Shatras, but the Naga Queen and Mystery Protector remained calm, as if they had already prepared themselves for such a situation.

"In that case, let's not ponder over it any further. The four of us are among the strongest, so we should defend the four walls of the Naga Tribe. If no more Mystery creatures arrive, I believe we can hold out for a while longer."

The Naga Queen seemed somewhat relieved compared to before. 

Initially, she alone was aware of the immense crisis facing the Naga Tribe. 

After sharing this crisis with the others, the burden of pressure she felt had somewhat lessened.

With the situation growing increasingly dire, the four strongest defenders of the Naga Tribe prepared to face whatever came next, standing firm in the face of overwhelming odds. 

Their unity and resolve would be crucial in the battle against the encroaching Mystery Power.

Mystery Protector and Duke Arsena promptly followed the Naga Queen's orders. 

Shatras initially intended to leave immediately, but the Naga Queen stopped her.

"I know you are very dissatisfied with my previous orders, and you probably harbor many complaints against me, as I did not reveal the true situation we were facing. However, I hope you can set aside these thoughts in the upcoming battle. Above all, ensuring the safety of the Naga Tribe is our utmost priority."

The Naga Queen could see that Shatras was in a troubled state of mind and didn't want her preoccupation with other matters to hinder her performance in battle.

Shatras nodded, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will give my all for the defense of the Naga Tribe!"

After saying this, Shatras teleported away. 

She didn't plan to stay in a safe location; as a Legend Magus, she felt compelled to fight where the danger was greatest.

After the Naga Queen had organized the defense tactics, she too began to repel the Mystery creatures' attack at the entrance of the Naga Tribe. 

Her plan was somewhat successful, holding off the Mystery creatures' onslaught for about fifteen minutes. 

However, after that time, the Naga Queen suddenly felt the power of Mystery intensifying dramatically. 

A vast shadow appeared at the entrance of the Naga Tribe, signaling a new and formidable challenge.

The name that struck fear into the Naga Queen's heart was none other than Mystery Saint.

"Mystery Saint can project his power directly to the Naga Tribe! It seems certain now that our tribe will be destroyed by the Mystery faction!"

The moment the Naga Queen saw the projection of Mystery Saint, she lost all hope. 

In her eyes, the strength of Mystery Saint, a god-like entity, was overwhelmingly powerful. 

As soon as Mystery Saint's projection appeared, the power of all Mystery creatures surged dramatically. 

Even the dominant creatures, previously gravely wounded by the Naga Tribe's members, regained their optimal condition.

With the aid of Mystery Saint, the Mystery creatures broke through the defenses at the entrance of the Naga Tribe and flooded in. 

The defense efforts led by the Naga Queen collapsed completely, as did those at other locations. 

Sensing the emergence of Mystery Saint, Duke Arsena chose to join forces with the Naga Queen, realizing that none of them could defeat the projection of Mystery Saint alone. 

They had to unite to stand a chance against this formidable foe.

By the time Duke Arsena arrived, the Naga Queen was already severely injured. 

Despite her utmost efforts, she was no match for the projection of Mystery Saint. 

The situation had become dire, with the Naga Tribe facing an unprecedented threat that seemed to spell their inevitable defeat.

Upon seeing the Naga Queen severely wounded, Duke Arsena immediately launched his sword towards the direction of Mystery Saint while casting the Holy Light spell, Sacred Guard. 

As the Sacred Guard took effect, a shield composed of Holy Light enveloped the Naga Queen. 

Although this shield couldn't fully withstand the attacks of Mystery Saint's power, it at least ensured that the Naga Queen wouldn't be directly annihilated by Mystery Saint.

With Duke Arsena's help, the Naga Queen narrowly escaped Mystery Saint's attack. 

However, even as a mere projection, Mystery Saint, embodying Mystery Power, possessed immense combat strength. 

Without hesitation, Mystery Saint's projection hurled two Mystery spells towards the Naga Queen and Duke Arsena, which transformed into Mystery Vanguards mid-air. 

The appearance of two additional Mystery Vanguards, on top of the already overwhelming assault, rendered the Naga Tribe's defenses unsustainable.

The Naga Queen and Duke Arsena had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the Queen's palace, knowing that additional defensive arrays were in place there.

"We must retreat to the palace! Only there can we continue our defense! You must inform Mystery Protector and Shatras about this. They might still be unaware that we are under attack by Mystery Saint. If they aren't prepared, they could be easily annihilated by him."

The Naga Queen, in her moment of crisis, did not just think of herself. 

She was also concerned about the safety of those who had come to her aid, fearing they might fall into great danger.

However, Duke Arsena did not act on the Naga Queen's instructions. 

He believed that both Mystery Protector and Shatras would likely have already sensed the arrival of Mystery Saint. 

Indeed, Duke Arsena's judgment proved to be more accurate. 

At the same time the Naga Queen was grievously injured, both Shatras and Mystery Protector felt the overwhelming presence of Mystery Power. 

Although they hadn't immediately confirmed the arrival of Mystery Saint, they knew they had to quickly ascertain the situation.

Eventually, Mystery Protector and Shatras joined the Naga Queen and Duke Arsena at the Queen's palace. 

All four of them were unsure of what to do next. 

As they began to feel a sense of despair, they simultaneously sensed an immensely powerful force – the power of the Sea God. 

In the end, it appeared that the Sea God had chosen to intervene directly!
