Chapter 350 Tulane Appeared In Time Again
Enzo furrowed his brow and replied, "Regardless of what it is, we must first subdue it!"
Simultaneously, the two charged at the creature. Kosor swung his great sword toward its legs, while Enzo summoned elemental energy to strike at its head. However, with a swift motion of its enormous claw, the beast sent Kosor reeling, then unleashed a cloud of inky smoke toward Enzo.
Quickly evading, Enzo marveled inwardly, "The strength of this creature is astounding. We must proceed with caution."
As they battled fiercely against the beast, Patricia and Matilda burst forth from the building. Patricia wove an enhancement spell, amplifying Enzo and Kosor\'s power and speed, while Matilda formed intricate hand seals and chanted, "Ice Puncture!" Countless shards of ice surged toward the creature, striking it and eliciting a ferocious roar.
Seizing the opportunity, Enzo launched his elemental assault, and Kosor pressed forward once more, the duo targeting the creature\'s vulnerabilities. After an intense struggle, they finally vanquished the beast.
Yet, the onlookers from the Sloth Temple did not waver in their resolve. Instead, they attacked with renewed fervor. Enzo and his companions fought valiantly, the courtyard becoming a tempest of magic and the clash of weapons igniting the air with sparks.
Just as the situation reached a critical juncture, Tulane appeared suddenly. With hands outstretched in intricate gestures, he unleashed a powerful spell that temporarily repelled the assailants from the Sloth Temple.
Enzo exclaimed in delight, "Mr. Tulane, what brings you here?"
Tulane responded, "I learned of the ambush orchestrated by the Sloth Temple\'s followers and rushed to provide assistance."
Kosor exclaimed with excitement, "Mr. Tulane, with your presence, we have every confidence in our ability to vanquish them!"
Tulane gazed at the members of the Sloth Temple, a chilling glint in his eyes. "The Sloth Temple has gone too far. Today we shall teach them a lesson they won\'t forget!"
Regaining their resolve, the group commenced their final showdown against the Sloth Temple. Under Tulane\'s leadership, Enzo, Kosor, Matilda, and Patricia harnessed their individual strengths to press the enemy back relentlessly.
Seeing the tide turn, the leader of the Sloth Temple attempted to flee, but Tulane summoned spatial magic to ensnare him.

Enzo stepped before the Sloth Temple leader, fury etched across his face. "Your plot will fail. Today marks your end!"
The Sloth Temple leader, pale and trembling, pleaded, "You... you cannot kill me. I am the leader of the Sloth Temple. Slaying me will bring you great trouble!"
Enzo scoffed, "After committing so many heinous acts, you dare to beg for mercy? It won\'t be that simple!"
Just as Enzo prepared to strike, a beam of light sliced through the sky, and a voice rang out, "Stop this at once!"
Everyone looked up to see the old blacksmith approaching slowly, addressing Enzo. "Do not take his life."
"Master, why do you intervene?" Enzo asked. "This scoundrel has committed countless atrocities. How can I find peace without exacting vengeance?"
The old blacksmith sighed, "He cannot die just yet. He still holds value. We can hand him over to the Temple of the Seven Gods for judgment. This will serve as a warning to others who harbor malicious intentions, demonstrating that wrongdoing carries consequences, and it further solidifies our stance on the side of justice."
Enzo pondered for a moment, conceding that the old blacksmith made a valid point, and sheathed his weapon. "Very well, Master Smith, I shall heed your counsel and deliver him to the Temple of the Seven Gods for judgment."
Kosor grumbled in reluctant agreement, "Hmph, he\'s getting off easy. Were it not for your words, Master Smith, I would have given him a proper lesson today."
The leader of the Sloth Temple, having narrowly escaped dire consequences, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, yet stubbornly retorted, "Don\'t think you can do anything to me like this. The Sloth Temple is not to be trifled with. When I return, you will see!"
Tulane stepped forward, casting a cold glare in his direction. "You should be more concerned about your own ability to leave here unscathed. Once you reach the Temple of the Seven Gods, all your misdeeds will be accounted for."
Matilda chimed in, "Indeed! After committing so many vile acts, how dare you still act so arrogantly? Just look at your current predicament!"
Patricia turned to Enzo, saying, "Let us hasten to escort him to the Temple of the Seven Gods for a fair trial, lest we prolong this and invite unforeseen complications."
Enzo nodded, "Yes, Patricia is correct. Let us depart at once."
With Enzo and his companions escorting the leader of the Sloth Temple, they made their way toward the Temple of the Seven Gods. Along the journey, the Sloth leader ceaselessly attempted to break free, yet Enzo and the others easily thwarted his efforts.
"You will regret treating me this way!" the Sloth leader spat venomously.
Kosor scoffed in reply, "Still so defiant? Just wait until the trial. I wonder how cocky you\'ll feel then."
Upon their arrival at the Temple of the Seven Gods, they discovered that the leader of the Pride Temple was also present. Upon seeing Enzo and the others, the Pride leader wore a smug smile. "Hmph, do you really think bringing him here will change anything? We have nothing to fear from you."
Enzo retorted sharply, "Your crimes are as clear as day. Today marks the day of your reckoning."
The leaders of the Temple of the Seven Gods convened once more in the hall of judgment. The head of the Wisdom Temple spoke first, "This trial will be conducted based on the evidence previously gathered and new findings, leading to a fair judgment regarding the Pride Temple and the Sloth Temple."
At that moment, Enzo stepped forward, declaring, "Esteemed leaders, during the waiting period for judgment, the followers of the Sloth Temple audaciously attempted to seize the materials we had gathered for weapon crafting, obstructing our efforts to bring peace to Planet Alfa. Their actions are nothing short of brazen and unrestrained!"
The leader of the Sloth Temple hastily countered, "That is because you sought these materials without permission. Who can ascertain that your intentions are honorable?"
Enzo furiously retorted, "We pursued the crafting of weapons solely to protect ourselves against your vile forces. Yet you twist the narrative, displaying utmost shamelessness!"
The leader of the Pride Temple scoffed from the side, "Ha! You are merely overestimating your own capabilities, daring to challenge our authority."
Tulane interjected, "Is your so-called authority established through aggression and conspiracy? Your actions have severely disrupted the peace and order of our planet and must be met with stringent repercussions!"
The expressions of the leaders at the judgment table grew grave as they whispered amongst themselves. After a lengthy pause, the head of the Rage Temple slammed the table and proclaimed, "Enough! Cease your bickering! The actions of the Pride Temple and the Sloth Temple have pushed this temple beyond tolerance! Your continual provocation and destruction of peace cannot go unpunished .Such transgressions are intolerable!"
The leader of the Greed Temple nodded slowly, "Indeed, their actions are undeniably excessive. However, before reaching a final judgment, we must conduct a thorough evaluation. Enzo, you allege they have pilfered materials. Do you possess incontrovertible evidence?"
Enzo promptly produced a memory crystal, declaring, "Esteemed leaders, this crystal captures the entirety of the Sloth Temple\'s assault upon us, detailing both the creatures they dispatched and their spoken words—proof as solid as a rock!"
The leader of the Wisdom Temple took the crystal, examining it before furrowing his brow. "This evidence is undeniably detrimental to the Sloth Temple. Yet, Pride Temple, what is your explanation? Infiltrating Rage Temple with spies is hardly the conduct expected of a reputable temple."
The head of the Pride Temple stubbornly retorted, "As I have previously stated, that may merely be a misunderstanding. We cannot condemn us based on this alone."
At this juncture, the usually silent leader of the Lust Temple spoke up, "Regardless, their actions have plunged Alfa Planet into chaos. I propose we temporarily strip the Pride and Sloth Temples of certain powers and restrict their movements until a comprehensive investigation is concluded."
The other temple leaders nodded in agreement.
The leader of the Envy Temple then added, "Moreover, Enzo has demonstrated a commitment to peace and responsibility throughout this ordeal.He may temporarily oversee the Pride and Sloth Temples to ensure their compliance and prevent any further disturbances."
Enzo blinked in surprise, then replied, "Esteemed leaders, I shall exert every effort to uphold the peace of our planet and will not betray your trust."
The other temple leaders voiced their support for this decision.
The leader of the Wisdom Temple turned to Enzo, saying, "Enzo, you bear a significant responsibility. Act with impartiality and avoid favoritism. Should there be any transgressions, the Temple of the Seven Gods will not be lenient."
Enzo reverently responded, "I understand and shall uphold justice. Should there be any missteps, I willingly accept the consequences."
He then turned to face the assembly from the Pride Temple and the Sloth Temple, stating with grave determination, "From this moment forth, you are all to heed my command. Any defiance will be met with severe retribution!"
The leader of the Pride Temple, though visibly reluctant, dared not openly resist, muttering under his breath, "Hmph, we\'ll see about that."
Meanwhile, the leader of the Sloth Temple bowed his head, lost in contemplation.
Enzo regarded them thoughtfully, reflecting. This is merely the beginning. The road ahead is long. To truly restore peace to Alfa, much remains to be accomplished.
At that moment, Enzo\'s communication crystal flickered to life, causing his heart to race with apprehension over what new turmoil might have arisen. He hastily examined the message.
The crystal displayed a line of text: "Umbra Corps has new developments, gathering forces, seemingly preparing for a full-scale assault on the Temple of the Seven Gods!"
Enzo\'s expression shifted dramatically as he looked up at the assembled leaders, declaring, "Gentlemen, the Umbra Corps is mobilizing. We must prepare at once!"
"Enzo, what are your thoughts?" inquired the leader of the Rage Temple, his gaze fixed on Enzo.
After a moment\'s contemplation, Enzo replied, "A direct military engagement is the way forward. The Umbra Corps is not to be feared. We, the denizens of Alfa, can certainly vanquish them."
"Yet, who will lead the charge?" the leader of the Envy Temple pressed further.
