Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3144

Iridessa clenched her teeth and charged forward again, intercepting Alonzo to ease the pressure on Vance. However, compared to Alonzo, her strength was far inferior.

If she had been harassing from the shadows, competing in speed, and striking with ambush assassinations, her exceptional covert arts would have allowed her to gain the upper hand for a while and avoid quick defeat.

But now, Alonzo had seized the initiative and launched a ferocious counteroffensive against the warriors of the Coven of Heavenly Radiance.

Iridessa had no choice but to face him head-on.

With a single swing, the heavy greatsword slammed against her weapon. She let out a painful gasp, and the spikes in her hands flew out of her grip.

A bloodthirsty glint flashed in Alonzo's eyes. His greatsword did not slow down and cut straight toward Iridessa's head.

Iridessa was terrified and lowered her head as her covert arts activated.

The greatsword cut through a wisp of smoke as Iridessa managed to escape. However, the moment she reappeared in another location, Alonzo's greatsword was already there ahead of her.

Iridessa steeled herself, pushing out with her small hands while bending her upper body backward to the extreme, practically sliding past Alonzo's blade. Though she had avoided the life-or-death crisis, Alonzo's sword energy completely shattered her disguise.

In an instant, Iridessa's true appearance was revealed, delicate and pale, with a calm yet cold expression. Her small hands were covered in blood.

Vance roared and suddenly shot into the sky, charging toward Alonzo. Only then did Iridessa's trembling heart finally ease. If the fight had continued, Alonzo's next strike might have killed her.

But down below, without Vance holding the front line, the situation deteriorated instantly.

Attacks erupted from every direction.

Slaves resisted desperately from the front, while the Ludendorff family warriors who had rushed in from both sides launched brutal encirclement attacks.

The only remaining escape route of the Coven of Heavenly Radiance warriors turned chaotic. For the first time since their siege, they began to hesitate between advancing and retreating.

However, that retreat marked the beginning of disaster.

As formations collapsed and fear spread, the Ludendorff family warriors seized the chance to unleash their pent-up hatred and fury. One by one, they launched all-out assaults, drenched in blood and reckless of their own lives.
