Chapter 416 - Volume 3
Chapter 194 – The final moment (12)
Faena directed Sifrid to a spot on the battlefield that was not particularly well-hidden. When the cloak’s invisibility finally ran out, she soon felt someone pulling her away and discovered it was Scarlett. The latter looked solemnly at her and said:
“This area is too dangerous, you need to move elsewhere.”
And before Faena could say anything, she was dragged away.
“Hey!?”
“Sister Scarlett.”
It was not an easy task as Andesha kept trying to disrupt his efforts. She continued to try and directly confront him the first few times, but Veronica and Mephisto hindered her by working together. The more blood Brendel spilled onto the ground, the slower Andesha’s spellcasting got. The battle was becoming easier and easier. Eventually, the two Sword Saints even had time to attack her.
After another few exchanges, Mephisto decided to simply stay behind Andesha’s back like a stalker and she had to stop chasing Brendel. The latter then targeted the plants that Brendel grew. Her Element Power started to make them grow even faster, but they soon withered and shrank.
“Ser Mephisto, cover the plants with your Element Power!” Brendel shouted.
The World of Ashes stopped Andesha’s attempt to ruin the plants, causing her to bellow and scream in fury, but there was nothing she could do. The long black wall was built up bit by bit.
While Brendel was starting to feel dizzy from the loss of blood, Andesha’s powers were diminishing as well. There was even once when her spell backfired and exploded in front of her face, engulfing one of her eyes. It was fortunate that she was able to shut it in time.
Both Mephisto and Veronica thought that it was unthinkable that a nameless noble from Aouine was able to drag one of the Tree Shepherds’ leaders into an abyss. Andesha’s anger had reached her peak long ago, and she finally felt a sliver of unrest. If this situation continued, there were no other paths but defeat. The gigantic dragon turned around and prepared to flee.
“Don’t let her escape!” Brendel was highly experienced in dealing with mythical monsters and immediately realized Andesha’s intention. In truth, it was actually a little too late for Andesha to flee as the corrupted plants had grown enough to fill the valley.
“My lord, watch out!” Scarlett suddenly screamed in shock, causing Brendel’s heart to squeeze with trepidation as he sensed danger.
