Chapter 1124 - Desperate Shani
Chapter 1124 Desperate Shani
Greem lifted an eyebrow when he saw Adept Holly suddenly break into the room. There was no sense of desperation on his face. On the contrary, there was a genuine, heartfelt joy.
Adept Holly roared as his massive astral construct lunged at Greem with lightning speed, propelled by several beams of starlight. Meanwhile, Witch Shani stepped back and started making gestures in the air as she prepared large-scale dark magic.
However, as Adept Holly lunged forward, he suddenly turned in mid-air. His steel fist punched towards Shani’s chest, engulfed in blinding starlight.
This sudden and unexpected twist caught Shani entirely by surprise!
The sinister smile on her face had yet to fade and was instantly replaced by a look of horror and shock.
Usually, Dark Witches like herself specialized in Agility and Spirit. There was almost no chance they would ever be caught in an ambush by the enemy. Even a strike at close range could not be faster or more subtle than a single thought of hers to teleport away.
However, at this moment, she had been fully committed to her spell and could not break her concentration. Moreover, all the shadow substance in the hall had been sucked away by the Orb of Shadows. Trying to dodge this attack with Shadow Teleportation was impossible under such circumstances.
Greem alone was difficult enough to deal with, now that he had the Orb of Shadows. With Holly joining the fray with a burning hatred for her, Shani immediately knew that her assassination was doomed. She prepared to escape once more without any hesitation.
Since she couldn’t use Shadow Teleportation, Shani’s entire body instead erupted into black mist and shot towards the only exit of the library.
As Shani escaped, she also used all the shadow power within her body to form black, solid shadow arrows and fired them at the other two adepts. She was hoping the barrage of arrows could delay them.
Adept Holly panicked at the sight of this. He endured the barrage of arrows and charged at the exit, attempting to intercept Shani before she could escape. Meanwhile, the legendary fire adept remained rooted in place without moving a single inch. There was only mockery on his face as he looked at the fleeing Shani.
Shani’s heart trembled when she picked up on the fire adept’s behavior. An ominous feeling arose in her heart.
Dammit, the fire adept must have prepared something for this scenario. What could it be?
Just then, Shani abruptly stopped in front of the wooden doors. The black mist gathered, and she materialized once more, but she did not take a single step forward.
There, with the light shining behind them, stood a towering and ferocious figure.
Shani’s heart sank into the abyss when she saw that unusually familiar figure and the aura she was all so acquainted with. It seemed so difficult for her frozen heart to beat even once.
“Mangus…Cherisha.”
Shani spat out these two names with difficulty. She finally knew what the legendary fire adept’s last trick was.
The cowardly two-headed siblings!
Even though Shani regarded the siblings with disdain, they were a proper Fourth Grade adept after their transformation. In an actual fight in her peak condition, Shani had confidence in defeating and killing these barely-Fourth Grade siblings in just five minutes.
But now…
Shani despaired, sensing the nearly empty supply of blood and shadow power within herself, and sensing Adept Holly, who was quickly approaching with all his might and power.
Unless the God of Adepts himself descended at this very moment, she could not possibly make it past Mangus and Cherisha before Adept Holly reached her.
A violent surge of power exploded before the wooden door once again!
Caught in a pincer attack between Holly and the siblings, Shani was finally crushed into black mist once again. However, this time, Greem waved the Orb of Shadows before she could escape elsewhere and rematerialize. A giant shadow hand wrapped around the mist and trapped it firmly.
