Chapter 164 - Finally Ended
After the battle in Twilight Forest, Lize had a deeper understanding of her control in spiritual energy. Also with Marlene’s guidance, she could finally manipulate spirit energy to attack…
Undoubtedly, as a support type Cleric, her attack skills were quite limited. Therefore, her attack skills aren’t meant to deal much damage. This was something inevitable. After all, the cleric class isn’t known for its attacking power.
If they can’t forge a sharp blade with good steel, then what’s the point? Clerics just simply weren’t similar to mages who could conjure dozens of wind blades. If the significance of the attack didn’t matter, it would be better if they did not attempt to attack at all, lest they injure themselves in the process.
As Marlene harassed the Shadow Devil, Lize found an opportunity to finish casting her skills. Eventually, she lifted her slowly hands and held them in front of her.
The holy barrier surrounding the mercenaries started to withdraw from the mercenaries; a brilliant light congealed on her palms in front of her. Then, a bright golden beam shot out from Lize’s palm, landing directly onto the Shadow Devil. The Shadow Devil who was being harassed by Marlene couldn’t react fast enough to defend itself against Lize’s attack. It could only stare at the beam and await its fate, hoping that its defense would withstand the beam.
But it is a pity; it was a wish that meant to be broken.
The shadowy mist which was able to devour the icy swords couldn’t handle the beam. Perhaps the water element and the dark element was like using a tangible object to resist an intangible one, causing it to be ineffective. But the beam of light was the eternal natural enemy of darkness. Thus, the result was obvious.
The Shadow Devil could only watch as the beam pierced through the shadow mist, utterly shattering the mist to bits, followed by its shoulder. After the initial blast, accompanied by a burning sensation, the hole in the Shadow Devil’s right shoulder immediately melted. Since it was a creature formed by darkness, with a mixture of a corporeal body and an immaterial form, Lize’s beam of light made it suffer so severely that it howled in rage. It quickly raised its head and focused its attention on the woman that was emitting unbearable holiness from head to toe.
KILL! KILL HER!
This sudden ambush panicked the man. He retaliated by twisting his body in an attempt to free himself. However, soon enough, the man realized that it was a meaningless struggle. At the same time, Rhode appeared in front of him with a smile. A crimson colored sword in his hand shone under the flames.
“It’s over.”
Rhode stared at the man in the black robe and spoke coldly.
And at this moment, as if answering his sentence, the Shadow Devil let out a miserable howl. Under the attacks of the holy duo, it vanished into nothingness.
Hearing his Shadow Devil’s death cry, the man in black robes frantically tried to untangle himself from the tentacles’ binds. Pitch black flames exploded from his body and burned downwards along the tentacles. However, even so, those black tentacles didn’t stop their movement. They followed Rhode’s command and bound the man’s hands and legs tightly, limiting all of his movements. No matter what, the tentacles had a defense as high as level 10. On top of that, it was a creature of the dark element. Using attacks of the same element was a big mistake…
In the end, it was Rhode who caused the man to stop resisting.
In the face of the dark flames, Rhode frowned and pierced the man’s palm. This sharp and intense pain caused the man to scream miserably and also stopped his meaningless struggles. His scream sent chills down the spines of the mercenaries. However, Christie who was hiding behind Anne revealed a shocked expression after hearing the voice.
Not only her, but even Rhode slightly frowned.
“I didn’t expect that… Although I had already suspected… and that the culprit was always between us. But… this was still an unpleasant find.”
As Rhode spoke, he pointed his sword towards the man and used the tip to remove the man’s hood. Soon enough, an old, withered face appeared in their eyes.
“Am I right, Village Chief?”
