The Herb King-Chapter 343 Necklace of Heaven’s Powerful Healing

Because of Gilbert's injury, his movements were a lot slower than in his peak state. His presence didn't make a big difference in the battle and the groups were still in a stalemate. Furthermore, the remaining Level 5 Underworlders seemed to have inexhaustible stamina. They have been continuously swinging their weapons without rest, but their strength didn't decrease at all!

Soon, another Esper perished under the hands of a tall and muscular Underworlder. The guy was smashed into a meat paste by the other party's giant mace!

When they saw their comrade's gruesome death, General Trevor and the others were enraged. They increased the intensity of their attacks, making the Underworlders feel more pressured.

Suddenly, Einar's eyes flashed coldly as he erupted with overwhelmed strength. He merged his dual gigantic swords into a much bigger sword that looked like a giant lump of metal. Intense power radiated from his Divine-Rated artifact.

Einar poured more world essence into his sword. His muscles bulged and the veins on his arms and neck protruded as he lifted his humongous sword above his head. "Earth Rendering Sword Strike..." He muttered the mantra of the sword technique while slashing down his sword with everything he had.

The air trembled violently as his sword struck the enemies.

"Retreat! Don't forcefully block it!" One of the Underworlders shouted when he felt the enormous power behind the sword. Five of them retreated immediately, while the muscular Underworlder merely snorted as if he was looking down on Einar's attack. He even swung his battle mace to meet his sword in midair!

When the two weapons clashed, an ear-splitting explosion echoed, followed by a fearsome shockwave that threw away everyone in the surroundings!

General Trevor and the others were also thrown by the intense force and they only stabilized their bodies after they retreated by more than a mile away.

"How powerful! Sir Einar's strength is already on par with those in the top four of the Heavenly Might Rankings. I'm afraid that his strength is already on the same level as Sir Victor's." General Trevor exclaimed in shock. The others nodded their heads in agreement. They stared into the distance with narrowed eyes. With their keen eyesight, they saw that a deep crater formed in the epicenter of the shockwave! It was so wide that it could even fit a whole city in it!

At this moment, Einar was staring at the muscular Underworlder beneath the crater. The guy was still alive, but he was already on his last breath. He didn't intend to let him survive so he fired a sword beam that accurately struck the muscular Underworlder's head.

Bang!

His head exploded like a smashed watermelon! Blood and brain juices flew in all directions!

"There are still five of them! Don't let them escape!" Einar suddenly shouted as he stared at General Trevor and the others.

"Yes, Sir Einar!" They quickly answered when they heard his words. They then raised their weapons and charged towards the remaining Underworlders with high morale. With the presence of Einar, they were no longer afraid to fight the Underworlders. Heck! He killed a late stage Level 5 warrior as if he was nothing!

Meanwhile, the four Holy Generals and Lark Whitmond were also dominating their enemies. They ganged up on the three Underworlders and forced them to retreat, but just as they were about to kill them, the lion-headed Underworlder suddenly intercepted them.

"This guy has finally made a move! We were waiting for you!" Lark Whitmond grinned before he spun like a whirlwind, the blade of his Claymore produced strong sword winds that shot towards the lion-headed Underworlder.

"Hmph! You are so weak!" The lion-headed Underworlder slowly spoke in the human language as he blocked Lark's sword winds. He also managed to stop his Claymore!

"What?!" Lark's eyes widened.

"Quick! Retreat!" Victor shouted urgently.

Lark immediately retracted his Claymore as he retreated, but the lion-headed Underworlder sneered when he saw this. He lunged his body towards Lark and threw a thick metal chain at him.

"No!" Lark's eyes were filled with despair when he saw this. He tried to deflect the chain, but it suddenly wrapped around his Claymore and into his body! He was then pulled by the lion-headed Underworlder.

"Die!" The lion-headed Underworlder raised his shield and smacked Lark's body, sending him falling to the ground like a meteorite.

Bang!

A huge crater was formed where Lark's body fell. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

The arrival of the lion-headed Underworlder changed the tide of the battle. He managed to push back the four Holy Generals all by himself!

Injuries started appearing on the bodies of the four Holy Generals.

The five Underworlders who were fighting against Einar's team regrouped with the lion-headed Underworlder and three more Level 5 warriors. There were only nine of them, but their strength was superior compared to them. The only ones who were able to fight evenly with the Underworlders were Victor, Einar, and Eliazar. The others could barely keep up with them and they had to gather closely together just to ensure their safety.

After another hour of intense fighting, a few more Espers on their side have perished. At this moment, there were only nine of them left and they could barely protect themselves from the ferocious attacks of the Underworlders.

"I'll hold two of them! You guys must hold on! I've already called for reinforcements!" Einar shouted when he saw the dispirited looks of his comrades.

"Who did you call, Sir Einar?" General Trevor asked. The only ones who could help them now were experts in the top ten of the Heavenly Might Rankings. The others would only be sending themselves to death if they came to support them.

Einar didn't look back as he answered. "Sir Aethelwolf and the others are on their way!"

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Aethelwolf's group was the strongest among them!

"Great! Use your full strength! We can rest once Sir Aethelwolf and the rest are here!" General Trevor laughed heartily as he wielded his weapon without fear. The others were also invigorated when they heard Einar's words.

***

After Aethelwolf received Einar's distress signal. He immediately headed back to the battlefield. He left the surveying of the Underworlder's gathering point to Argus. "Sir Argus, I'll leave this place to you guys."

"Alright." Argus knew that the situation was critical in the battlefield so he nodded his head.

"I'll come with you." Empress Shiphra muttered.

Aethelwolf didn't reject her and just nodded his head. He then glanced at Nocturna and said. "Miss Nocturna, I hope that you can also come with me. You are the only one who can use the Necklace of Heaven to its fullest potential. The allied army needs your help."

Hearing this, Nocturna stared at her father.

"You can go with Sir Aethelwolf." Estes smiled at her daughter. He was a bit worried about her safety, but since she was going with Aethelwolf, he felt more relieved.

Nocturna nodded at her father. She then turned her gaze to Aethelwolf and said. "Let's go, Sir Aethelwolf!"

"Good! Follow me!" Aethelwolf grabbed the shoulders of both women and used a teleportation skill. This skill consumed a lot of his world essence so it was impractical to use it in combat. However, it was very useful in situations like this.

Eighty percent of his world essence was depleted, but they managed to arrive quickly on the battlefield. Aethelwolf grabbed a recovery pill as he said. "Miss Nocturna, please use the Necklace of Heaven."

"Alright." Nocturna nodded as she took out the Necklace of Heaven. It was the Holy Artifact of the Ancient Fairies and only someone of their bloodline could effectively use it. After she injected her world essence into the necklace, a holy and imposing aura enveloped the field. A dense aura of life descended from the sky which quickly healed the injuries of the wounded soldiers of the allied army.

Nocturna's face paled as she injected more of her world essence into the necklace. It was a Holy Artifact so its consumption of energy was high. Even though she was a Level 5 Esper, the world essence inside her Hegel was still being depleted rapidly. She grabbed the pills given by Aethelwolf and consumed them one by one.

"Miss Shiphra, let's go and help them." Aethelwolf muttered. He then descended to the battlefield without hesitation. The empress followed closely behind him.

As soon as Nocturna activated the healing effects of the Necklace of Heaven, the soldiers of the allied army recovered swiftly. Even those who had broken bones and severed limbs were recovering at a visible speed!

"My wounds are recovering! Hahaha!"

"It is Miss Nocturna from the Mystic Island! She is here to support us!"

"Look! Sir Aethelwolf and Empress Shiphra are also here!"

"We are saved! I'm alive! Hahaha!"

The soldiers of the allied army were in high spirits when they saw the three figures above the sky.𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥．𝗰𝐨𝗺
