Several nature spirits summoned the heavenly thunder and many more elemental attacks to disrupt the curse gathering in the clouds. Since their opponent only cursed, they were not afraid of anything. As a result, the wandering curse lost its command and laws.
Therefore, the divine curses of various kinds directly hunted the nature spirits.
“Run, run!”
“Escape to the almighty Goddesses.”
*Swoosh!*
The nature spirits flew as fast as they could towards a spot on the outermost layer of the planet. The calamity cloud from the Human Continent’s sky cleared gradually, but the sight astonished everyone.
“Poor, little ones. You were almost completely contaminated by the curse.” Ely caught some pitiful nature spirits and purified them from the curses.

“The moon is in place, but the world continues to rotate. Yuuki and Lixue have almost concluded their battle on the Beastkin Continent.” Elena’s attention is drawn to a supermassive ice explosion in the north. She felt the need to assist there before they got further apart.
“Then let’s move.” Elysia released the nature spirits, then switched the void dimension with a blink.
She and the Goddesses teleported to a spot in the sky where they could get a good look at the Beastkin Continent and its surroundings. However, they could still keep an eye on the situation on the moon perfectly.
*Crackle* *Crackle* *Rumble*
The enormous sky serpent of curse shattered into chunks of ice. Yuuki, Lixue, and several Beastkin Emperors succeeded in eliminating the monster overlord. The dragonkin also helped a lot, but all the participants who fought the sky serpent were exhausted.
“The battle isn’t over yet. Hey, Dragon Emperor brat… do you still have the energy to step into the battlefield and handle those endless swarms of accursed creatures?” Lixue was exhausted. He didn’t expect fighting the accursed creature almost on the same level as him to be this difficult.
He had teamed up with several Emperors, but they barely won the battle. Several Emperors were seriously injured, and some poor souls died because they were caught in the wild Emperor-class battle.
“Sadly, no. But, the beastkin defensive forces can still hold off those accursed creatures well. They won’t lose their ground. The battle may be long, but the overlord has been eliminated. We can win this war.” Kazuma clutched his ribs. His bones were broken, and his energy was already depleted. He would not survive if he fought in his current state.
“…” Yuuki looked up at the sky. The curses of the slain accursed creatures seemed to have minds of their own and went to evaporate into the sky and gather into black clouds.
The anti-curse mechanisms were still there, but those curses seemed to already know the old method would no longer be effective.
Regardless, she and the brave warriors fighting alongside her had given their best but were still battered. She was also injured and exhausted just fighting one overlord monster.
The most troublesome thing was still the enemy’s anti-magic abilities. Coupled with various deadly and disturbing skills, it was no wonder the experts in the ancient era encountered disastrous difficulties when facing the large-scale invasion at that time.
“The death toll has reached four digits. This is just the first day, and our opponent is an Emperor-level accursed creature…” One of the Beastkin Emperors muttered with a sense of loss.
“Most of the casualties came from the relentless stampede down there.”
“There are several lich-like creatures that are summoning their kin continuously. We have to stop them first.”
“Let’s slaughter those troublemakers first. That way, our defensive force can go all-out assault without going through the increasing number of opponents.”
“Let’s do that. But who would go for this? I don’t have sufficient magic energy, and my physical force is greatly reduced due to the wounds inflicted. They have anti-magic treats also…”
“We can ask Yanagi and katsura for that. Some Saint-level warriors can too.”
“No, we assign them to be the backbone of the battlefield. They can’t advance too far into the enemy’s lair.”
The Beastkin Emperors discussed with each other as they were not in good condition to jump into another battlefield.
“Lixue, let’s do it. We can rain them down with ice meteors. You can slay them as easily as you swat flies, right?” Yuuki sighed.
She had to act immediately before the situation became even more unfavorable. Her master watched everything from the sky, but she didn’t want the divine to involve themselves in this trivial matter.
“Well then.” Lixue couldn’t disappoint the praise and expectations, or the junior dragons would look down upon him.
*Swoosh*
The massive ice dragon and the eight-tailed snow fox descended on the battlefield straight into the lair, where the sealed area collapsed.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Swiish*
It was relatively easy for them to obliterate the summoner monsters in seconds. The rest could be handed over to the beastkin armies. Lixue was relieved that he could finally take a break and recuperate.
“Lixue, when did your tail get cursed?” Yuuki pointed at the ice dragon’s black tail.
“What!?” Lixue was shocked. His cool tail was half contaminated by the curse of darkness. He instantly went panicky. “Give me the anti-curse mechanism right away. I need two, not three!”
“At least make your body size smaller! The anti-curse mechanism zone isn’t big enough to work effectively at your current body size.” Yuuki slapped the panicked ice dragon’s head.
“Hurry, hurry!” Lixue transformed his body much smaller right away.
“Please bear the pain.” Yuuki activated one anti-curse mechanism and stabbed Lixue’s tail with another for immediate direct effect.
“Gyaa! That hurts. What are you doing, stupid vixen!? Did your brain fluids all go to your bust!?” Lixue screamed in pain because the pain was too much for him to bear.
“You are an ancient dragon, so don’t whine like a baby. I’m helping you. I have warned you beforehand. Or can we cut your tail off and be done with it?” Yuuki froze Lixue’s tail, then let the anti-curse mechanism do the rest to absorb the curse energy. She then took a big sabre, ready to cut off Lixue’s tail.
“No, no, the anti-curse mechanism is good. I can heal the injury later, but not cut my tail. Good girl, please keep that knife away from your hands.” Lixue broke into a cold sweat. He had a hard day working with this snow fox.
Yuuki spoke no more and assisted Lixue. Once the curse was absorbed by the anti-curse mechanism, she dragged the deadweight away to the defensive force backline to meet the dragon queen.
*Rumble!* *Rumble!*
Rumbling thunder and golden lightning flashed across the sky. The dark calamity clouds were stirred up by dozens of nature spirits as if they were trying their best to prevent harmful phenomena from happening.
However, they were not there to sacrifice themselves. Once the curse cloud targeted them, they fled to the higher altitude as fast as they could. Ely and Elena were already waiting there to gradually handle the gathering curse.
Yuuki smiled as she could tell the situation through her spiritual connection to her master.
“Mama, this Emperor dragon is not cool. Lord Gio is by far the coolest, but Lord Cherub is the strongest.” The particular dragon baby princess voiced her opinion innocently.
“Ghak! How dare you insult me?” Lixue received a critical hit, which was super effective at hurting his pride. But the offender was just an innocent baby!?
“Sshh, it’s rude, Nara. Please forgive my baby girl, lord ice dragon.” The pinkish mama dragon covered her daughter’s mouth in panic.
“Forgive.” Nora also apologized.
“Nah, never mind. I’m the youngest one compared to my bros. Don’t compare it like that even though you’ve met us once.” Lixue snorted, then focused on healing his injured tail.
“Lord Cherub spoke nothing and was rather cold, but he was immune to curses.” Nara raised her hands high.
“Speak one more word, and I will freeze you, baby dragon.” Lixue squinted his eyes.
“Ice dragons are always unfriendly, mmgh!” Nara blinked her eyes, but her mama immediately shut her mouth again.
The mama dragon apologized once more, then excused herself. Her daughter was a bit naughty and enthusiastic about unique dragons. Still, this time, the other party’s temperament could jeopardize her daughter’s safety.
“Wait, Queen Azumi, I want to talk to you a little. The combined armies have handled the battlefield, but this battle won’t be finished in one or two days. Please make sure the preparation is perfect.” Yuuki chased after the mama dragon.
“Yes, the number of enemies is still too many, and our top experts are not ready to enter the battle.” Azumi stopped in her tracks.
She stared at the battlefield with a sad expression but could only help out at the back.
“Lady Yuuki, you are injured. Allow me to tend to your wound.” Azumi offered herself to help.
“It’s okay. I can take care of it myself. You better take care of your battered husband.” Yuuki pointed her finger toward a direction.
The Beastkin Emperors landed near the clinic to request emergency assistance.
Everyone thought the other Emperors were in pretty good condition seeing the eight-tailed snow fox only received relatively light injuries. However, that assumption was wrong.
“Hu, husband!?” Upon closer look, Azumi didn’t expect her husband’s condition to be worse than it appeared. She rushed to tend to her husband’s wound without delay.
“Heal. You did well, Yuuki.” Elysia’s whisper came to Yuuki’s ears.
Yuuki’s fox ears twitched slightly, and she looked up with a satisfied smile. “I am flattered, master.”
