Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 3144 lridessa 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.

lridessa 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. They wanted every Coven of Heavenly Radiance warrior who had invaded the city to die. Iridessa turned pale with shock.

In just a few breaths, she watched the warriors of the Coven of Heavenly Radiance fall in straight lines. Soon, even more of them died, and faint signs of collapse began to appear. The sight made Iridessa's mind tremble violently. Biting her lip, she chose to step into Vance's position. At the same time, she shouted, "Everyone, hold on, you cannot retreat!" However, she had never truly led these warriors before. Moreover, her personality was reserved, and she had never revealed her true self to others. She had always acted as Vance's shadow, hidden in the ---- darkness.

Now that she had given orders, her voice sounded weak and powerless, and it had no effect at all. As panic grew, Iridessa screamed, "Vance!" Vance, who was locked in a fierce battle with Alonzo, was fully focused. He was jolted awake by Iridessa's desperate cry and looked down. With that glance, his expression changed drastically, and his heart sank straight to the abyss. "Everyone, you cannot retreat. Advance at all costs!

Anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law!" Alonzo sneered and swept his greatsword horizontally, and Vance, distracted, had his armor sliced open with a resounding crack. He was just a little away from being cut in half at the waist. Rage exploded within him, and his remaining calm shattered completely as chaos began to take over his mind. What had once been a perfect situation had now turned into this.

There was no need to guess that the Ludendorff family warriors from the south gate must have returned Since even Alonzo had appeared here, it could only mean one thing: the forces from Abyss City had given up the siege. Now all the pressure had fallen onto the Coven of Heavenly Radiance. ---- 'Andrew, I'll never forgive you!" Hatred surged in Vance's heart. He had never imagined that after breaking into the city and watching everything unfold exactly as he had predicted, the final outcome would turn out like this. In the end, he had still been outplayed by Andrew, that bastard.
