Chapter 315: Chapter315:The Cage That Trapped Enzo Hasn’t Arrived Yet
Weiss let out a hearty laugh, “This is a death cage meticulously designed for you. Here, your powers will gradually wane until you meet your demise.”

Enzo attempted to strike at the energy barrier, only to find his efforts swallowed by it, as if a drop of water had fallen into the ocean, leaving no trace behind.

“Hmph, just wait to be slowly drained of life.”

Weiss declared with smug satisfaction.

Matilda, witnessing Enzo’s plight, felt a surge of desperation. She yearned to rush to his aid, but those minions fiercely obstructed her path.

“You wretched fiends, perish!”

Matilda bellowed, recklessly unleashing her most potent ice divine arts, causing the temperature around her to plummet and her assailants’ movements to grow sluggish.

Just as Matilda prepared to break through and rescue Enzo, a deafening roar echoed through the sky as a massive airship descended toward them.

Onboard the vessel, the leader of the Pride Temple stood at the helm, surveying the scene below with a sinister smile curling at the corners of his mouth. “Weiss, well done! Eliminate them—leave none alive!”

“Yes, my lord.” Weiss responded.

His excitement was palpable as he intensified his assault.

Matilda shouted at the Pride Temple’s leader, “Jalisco, do you comprehend the gravity of your actions? You are defying the temple’s edicts! I shall report you to the God King!”

“Planning to accuse me?” The Pride Temple leader scoffed, “Survive long enough to do so, if you can!”

Just after speaking.

No sooner had he spoken than he waved his right hand, unleashing a torrent of emissaries from the Pride Temple who descended upon Matilda, Patricia, and the others.

“Slay them! Leave not a single soul alive!” commanded the leader of the Pride Temple, “Especially those from the Rage Temple. They must all perish here! Oh, and secure the Fierce Beast Pearl!”

Surrounded by the emissaries of the Pride Temple, Patricia and her companions found themselves in a perilous situation. Gripping the Fierce Beast Pearl tightly, Patricia shouted, “Stay calm, everyone! Let’s charge out together!” With that, she led the way, launching an attack in a specific direction, striving to create an opening.

Meanwhile, Matilda, entangled by Weiss’s subordinates, exerted herself to move closer to Enzo, knowing she had to devise a plan to rescue him as swiftly as possible.

Enzo, trapped within the energy cage, remained remarkably composed.

He focused his thoughts, meticulously observing the flow of energy within the cage, seeking a means of escape. Suddenly, he noticed a faint fluctuation in the energy at a particular corner, hinting at a potential weak point.

A spark of determination ignited within Enzo. He began to concentrate his strength and attacked that fragile point. Once, twice, thrice… With each strike, the fluctuation at that weak spot intensified.

Meanwhile, the battle outside had reached a fever pitch. Though Patricia and her allies fought valiantly, the sheer number of emissaries from the Temple of Pride began to overwhelm them.

In a state of urgency, Matilda unleashed a wide-ranging ice divine art, momentarily freezing the surrounding foes, and then raced towards the energy cage.

“Enzo, I’m here to rescue you!” She called out.

Weiss, noticing her attempt, sought to impede Matilda, but her speed was too swift. He could only grasp the hem of her garment. With a forceful tug, Matilda broke free from Weiss’s grasp and continued her charge towards the cage.

At that moment, Enzo’s relentless assaults finally bore fruit. With a resounding crash, a fissure appeared in the energy cage under his strikes. Overjoyed, Enzo summoned every ounce of his strength and delivered a powerful punch at the crack, which instantly widened, allowing him to burst forth from the cage.

“Enzo!” Matilda exclaimed, leaping into Enzo’s embrace with fervor.

Enzo gently patted Matilda’s back, reassuring her, “Do not fear. I am here.”

With that, he turned his gaze toward Weiss and the emissaries of the Pride Temple, his eyes ablaze with fury. “How dare you openly defy the temple’s edicts? Today, you shall all face the consequences!”

With Matilda by his side, Enzo charged toward their foes, exuding an aura reminiscent of a war deity. Under the weight of his presence, the emissaries of the Pride Temple faltered.

Enzo plunged into the ranks of the enemy as though traversing an empty realm. With each strike, foes fell before him. Matilda complemented his assault, her icy divine arts wreaking havoc among the throng. The immobilized adversaries found themselves swiftly dispatched by Enzo.

Weiss, witnessing Enzo’s valor, felt a chill of fear creep into his heart, yet mustered the courage to shout, “Everyone, attack together! Slay them!”

However, his words fell upon deaf ears. The emissaries of the Pride Temple were already cowed by the prowess of Enzo and Matilda, their fighting spirit severely diminished.

Meanwhile, Patricia and her companions, inspired by Enzo and Matilda’s gallantry, rallied to retaliate.

Under the leadership of Enzo and Matilda, the tide of battle began to turn. The leader of the Pride Temple, witnessing this shift, wore an expression of profound dismay. “Incompetents! A pack of incompetents!”

He spat, preparing to intervene personally.

At that moment, a distant rumble echoed through the air as a larger airship approached. Onboard, the master of the Rage Temple stood at the helm, his gaze imbued with authority. “Hmph, Pride Temple, you have audacity beyond measure!”

It became clear that the master of Rage Temple had learned of the situation and had come personally to render assistance.

The leader of the Pride Temple felt a flicker of anxiety upon the arrival of the master of the Rage Temple, yet he forced himself to maintain a facade of calm. “Hmph, this is a matter between us and them. It would be prudent for you at Rage Temple to refrain from interference.”

“Interference? You brazenly violate the temple’s regulations, setting traps during the assessment to endanger our members at Rage Temple, and yet you dare to suggest we should stay out of it?” the master of the Rage Temple retorted with ire.

“And what of it? Today, Enzo must die!” The Pride Temple leader spat through gritted teeth.

“Hmph, let us see if you possess the capability to make that happen.” The master of the Rage Temple declared, launching himself toward the leader of the Pride Temple, igniting an intense aerial duel.

Their formidable powers clashed with each strike, unleashing tremendous waves of energy that reverberated through the surrounding air.

Meanwhile, the battle below raged on.With the support of the Rage Temple master, Enzo and his allies fought with renewed vigor, causing the envoys of the Pride Temple to steadily retreat.

As Weiss sensed the tide turning unfavorably, he attempted to flee, but Enzo would not grant him such an escape.

With a swift motion, Enzo blocked Weiss’s path. “Thinking you can run? Not so easily!”

Weiss gritted his teeth, “Enzo, do not push me too far!”

“You brought this upon yourself!” Enzo declared, launching a relentless assault on Weiss. Despite Weiss’s desperate resistance, he was no match for Enzo, who swiftly overpowered him until he was utterly defenseless.

“Enzo, I concede! I beg you, spare me!” Weiss pleaded.

Enzo regarded him coldly, “Now you seek mercy? It is far too late!”

With that, Enzo delivered a powerful punch, sending Weiss hurtling through the air, crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious.

Having subdued Weiss, Enzo turned his attention to aid the others. Through their collective efforts, the envoys of the Pride Temple were ultimately repelled.

The leader of the Pride Temple, sensing the tide turning against him, contemplated fleeing, only to be intercepted by the master of the Rage Temple. “Trying to escape? Do you truly believe that’s possible?”

“Chamberlain, do not push me to the brink! I was merely jesting with your people.” The Pride Temple leader retorted as he made his escape.

“Return with me to face the judgment of the God King.” The Rage Temple master commanded fiercely.

“Since you show no mercy, I shall have no choice…” The Pride Temple leader declared, feigning an attack while secretly employing his powers to vanish from sight.

The Rage Temple master did not pursue. Instead, he turned to Enzo and the others.

At that moment, relief washed over Enzo and his companions.

Matilda gazed at Enzo, her eyes gleaming with affection. “Enzo, you were truly remarkable.”

Enzo smiled modestly. “This success was a collective effort, and we owe much to the timely arrival of the master. Otherwise, we would have faced grave danger.”

The Rage Temple master approached, surveying Enzo and the others with satisfaction. “You all performed admirably, contributing significantly to the glory of Rage Temple.”

“Master, what of this assessment…” Patricia inquired.

“For this assessment, you have all passed with flying colors, exhibiting exceptional skill. Particularly, Enzo and Matilda, your performances have brought me great pride.” The master responded.

…

Upon returning to Alfa City, Enzo presented the Fierce Beast Pearl to the master of the Rage Temple.

He then prepared to head back to his villa.

At this juncture, Matilda intercepted Enzo. “Enzo, in three days, Kosor will host a banquet to celebrate our successful passage through the assessment and our induction into the temple. I shall bring my father to meet you.”

“He wishes to meet me?” Enzo queried.

Matilda’s cheeks flushed. “I am now your woman. Is it not natural for him to meet his future son-in-law?”

“Very well!” Enzo acquiesced to Matilda’s request.

Before long, he returned to his villa.

Upon seeing Enzo, Flora, who had been solitary in the empty house, rushed over and leaped into his embrace.

Desperately eager, she engaged Enzo in a fierce battle that spanned seven rounds.

Both of them collapsed onto the ground.

Flora gazed up at Enzo and remarked, “Enzo, you have truly grown stronger. I nearly felt overwhelmed by your prowess.”

“Are you satisfied now?” Enzo glanced at Flora, “Shall we have another round?”

“No, no, if we do it again, I fear I’ll fall apart.” Flora hastily declined, “How did you become so formidable…?”

Her words trailed off abruptly .

Because she was taken aback by the remarkable transformation occurring in Enzo’s physique.

It appeared as though he was slowly evolving.

Enzo’s chest muscles, hard and glistening like steel, bore increasingly defined lines, seemingly harboring boundless strength, subtly pulsating with a visible rhythm, as if a mysterious energy coursed through them.

“Enzo, what… what is happening?” Flora’s eyes widened in astonishment and confusion, her speech faltering.
