Chapter 412: Taking Action

The three of them did not rush towards the main territory building. But instead, as they continued moving towards it, they made sure to get as much information as possible.

It was true that they believed that they themselves were already strong enough to be able to deal with whoever it was that was the leader of this territory, no matter what level they were in. But then again, it was always good for them to be cautious.

This was the apocalypse at the end of the day, and anything could happen. So, other than just making sure that they did not waste a lot of time to look for the leader of the territory, it was better for them to go ahead and get information about where the leader was specifically in.

As they moved forward, they did not care much about the looks that they were receiving. After all, soldiers had already gone out, including everybody that was already in the gold rank. But for the three ladies, although they were already in the gold rank, they had actually not made any move.

This looked strange and suspicious at the same time. But even then, nobody went ahead to question them. After all, they did not know about the background of the three people, and they did not know the reason why they had not joined the rest of the soldiers to go out to attack a certain territory.

Not long after, the three ladies finally appeared in front of the barrier that surrounded the main territory building. Since the three of them did not have any stars on their chest that indicated that they were part of the gold rank soldiers of the territory that were allowed into the main territory building, they could not actually enter.

The golden stars that every member of the territory that had reached the gold rank possessed was not just there for show. But instead, it possessed the energy of the person that was wearing it, together with the energy of the one that was allowed to control the territory barrier together with the leader of the military territory.

As long as the person was wearing the star, and it belonged to them, they would actually be capable of entering the military territory main building area. As for trying to steal another person’s star, that was definitely impossible considering that the energy that was present within the star was not something that could be replaced.

And all those who had tried to do something like this had all been eliminated. Additionally, why would someone try to steal another person’s star when they themselves were strong enough to be able to defeat the other party?

If a person was actually capable of defeating another who was already in the gold rank, that implied that they themselves were already in the gold rank. Why not just go ahead and take a star of their own? Why risk being executed?

As for the three of them, after entering the territory, they were actually supposed to apply for the star. But the three of them did not bother to do something like that, because they did not have the interest of going into the main territory building.

But right now, it was completely different. Initially, they had just thought that as long as they found Sarah’s family, they would go ahead and try to look for a way to evacuate them from the territory. They were not looking forward to joining this territory after all. Then later on, they could just go ahead and use their strength and deal with the higher-ups of this territory.

But now, since Sarah had already gotten information about her sister’s presence within Trista territory, she was no longer worried. So, they could just go ahead and go straight to the point, where they were going to force their way in.

The moment that the three of them arrived in front of the invisible barrier, they did not take a step forward. Of course, they could detect the presence of the invisible barrier considering that it possessed some kind of threat towards them.

Just like the invisible barrier that was present in the territory back in Crystal City, the barrier here also possessed the counter attacking measures. And due to the power level of the three ladies, they could feel that as long as they used their own strength to attack the space in front of them, there would be something that would attack back.

"Should we force our way in by breaking this barrier, or should we look for a method that we can enter in a normal way?" Sarah asked as she looked at the space in front of her.

Olivia thought about it for a while before she responded, "The only other method that is available for us to be able to enter into the main territory building area is by getting those stars. But that is something that is going to waste a lot of time for us."

"Yes. Additionally, I have received the information from master informing me that the military has attacked Trista territory. It has been a while now, and those that had gone to attack should be coming back right now because master did not kill them." Diana stated as a hint of killing intent appeared within her eyes.

Of course the killing intent had appeared simply because the members of this territory had actually tried to attack the area where her master was currently located in. So, how could he just let them go like that? That was an impossibility.

"I guess we will have to break it through sheer strength." Olivia stated. Then in the next moment, she drew the word that she was carrying on the left side of her waist. This was the same sword that she had received from Henry back on that island.

The moment that she took the sword, the air around her suddenly became chilly. The ice element was being controlled by Olivia, as the blade of the sword was immediately covered in ice.

Olivia was a combat mage, so, she had decided to utilize her full strength in order to attack the invisible barrier. She was not sure about the power level of the one who was leading this territory, but she was not willing to take any risk at all.

If she decided to attack with half of her strength, what would happen if a counter attack was launched towards her? That was something that she was not willing to see. And as a cautious person, she had to make sure that she dealt with everything as it should.

It was a good thing that around the area where the three of them were currently at, there were no buildings in this part of the territory. As for why there were no people that were living in this part despite the fact that there was a very large number of people in the low areas of the territory, none of them knew about it, but they could simply guess that it was somehow related to those that held the highest positions within the territory.

Diana and Sarah both retreated. The two of them were not that much good at close combat, but of course, that did not imply that they were completely clueless when it came to close combat. It was just that they could not fight with a person that was already at the diamond rank in close combat, though they could deal with those that were in the gold rank and below.

The moment that the two of them retreated, they both prepared to attack as well. The light element began flickering around Sarah’s body. At this moment, she was using light element manipulation just like Olivia who was utilizing ice element manipulation.

With the manipulation that had already improved during the past few months that they had been traveling, the attacks that the two of them could launch had already reached a very high degree.

Diana on the other hand simply took the bow that was strapped on her back and held it in her hand. Then, she aimed it towards the space where they believed that the invisible barrier was located at.

In the next moment, the wind element that she possessed affinity too was controlled, and an arrow that was made out of wind immediately solidified in her fingers that were holding the string of the bow. The color of the arrow was completely green, something that she had gained along the way, during the time that they were coming to this city.

With the three of them already prepared, without even signaling each other, they all attacked at the same time. Since they had already been fighting together for several months, they already knew each other quite well.

The frost dominator sword that was being held by Olivia was already covered in ice. The next moment, the surroundings around Olivia began freezing, and snow suddenly appeared around her.

The ground beneath her feet had already frozen, and all the grass in that area had been covered in ice, as if they had grown in an ice land.

At the same time as this happened, Olivia’s eyes suddenly flickered with a blue light that disappeared in the next moment. But even then, the terrifying aura that was coming out of her body was enough to be able to alarm all those that were present within the surrounding 1 km radius.

Without caring about the attention that they were already attracting by releasing their auras that had already gone beyond the gold rank, the three of them simultaneously attacked using their most powerful attacks towards the space where the invisible barrier was located.
