Chapter 226: Battle Ends, Death
Chapter 226: Battle Ends, Death
"Over there, Xialulou!"
The intense battle had already completely destroyed the magic crystals maintaining the illusion magic array.
With the commotion on the battlefield, Wendy and Xialulou easily found them.
Xialulou said, "We're late, they are already in battle."
Wendy hesitated for a moment, "Then... we'll go help them."
"Do you have any magic left?"
"Using a few support spells should be fine."
Xialulou couldn't resist her, so she had to fly over with her.
Tonight's night sky hung with a crescent moon, and with the moonlight and the scattered firelight on the ground, the two could see the situation below.
Xialulou's pupils dilated, her pupils sharply enlarged: "What kind of battle is this?"
The three below had just gone through another round of intense fighting.
The powerful earth magic was used without restraint, small-scale mountain collapses and earthquakes were common, and rolling rocks and ground spikes frequently appeared.
Kaniber seemed to enter a rage state, charging like an enraged bull.
Even Elusa's Adamantine Armor couldn't resist its charge.
Rod's small-type wild monsters were hard to inflict effective damage, even the swamp demon didn't. Just as Mira said, the toxins were ineffective against the demon.
The Void Nest Insect couldn't resist the large-scale earth magic, and now the only Red and Blue could cause effective damage and help their companions.
The good news was that Kaniber's left front leg seemed to be losing strength, and as the battle progressed, that leg increasingly became a burden to it.
Kaniber's current state was quite poor, with white breaths and blood streaming from her mouth and nose.
And the opposite three were also heavily panting.
"Mr. Rod! Miss Elusa! Mr. Natsu!" Wendy and Xialulou landed behind the three.
"Rod, Xialulou?" Rod exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here?"
Xialulou said, "Wendy wanted to warn you to be careful and not to approach, but by the time we found you, it was already too late."
Natsu clenched his fist, "It's fine, we'll take care of it immediately."
"Ah, it's about over, let's send this demon back to hell." Elusa's body glowed with light, a heavy black armor appeared, and she held a vicious black saw-toothed large knife in both hands,
"Change·Inferno Armor!"
"Resolve... Accept·Crimson Imprint Tree Monster, Remnant Crown!"
Rod almost drained his magic, but he didn't forget to hand Hapy to Wendy, "Help me take care of it."
Natsu punched his right fist into his left palm, "Rod, fire."
Rod raised his hand, but Natsu said, "Not text magic, it's 'that' fire."
He then gave it to him, and without further ado, Rod raised his left hand, and a flame appeared in his hand.
Natsu took a deep breath, and this time he actually succeeded in swallowing it down!
"Hot! But... swallowing it down, the strength surged up." Natsu's body was engulfed in crimson flames.
"I'll help too!" Wendy handed Hapy to Xialulou, and she raised her hands, palms facing the sky:
"Swift wind that soars through the sky, turns into power! Tearing through the sky's immense force, turns into a weapon!"
Xialulou helped to explain, "It's a speed and attack enhancement spell, don't waste Wendy's intention."
"Great! Let's go!"
The three exchanged glances, and at the same time, they took steps, rushing towards the demon.
Kaniber seemed to realize something, her face grimacing, and even biting her left front leg hard, tearing it off.
"Roar!!!"
A scream, whether from pain or rage, made Wendy and Xialulou cover their ears.
Kaniber, using three legs, charged forward abruptly.
Rod rushed to Kaniber's right front, slapping the ground with both hands: "Crimson... Tripwire!"
Thick red vines quickly sprouted from the ground, twisting together into a sturdy rope that firmly tripped Kaniber's right front leg.
Kaniber lost her balance and fell forward, her heavy body dragging along the ground due to inertia.
Elusa, who was charging in the middle, leaped high into the air, her black saw-toothed large knife wielding terrifying force as she cleaved toward Kaniber's back head.
Rod's right hand formed a claw, glowing with crimson flames, and he viciously slashed at Kaniber's right neck.
Natsu, enveloped in crimson flames and with faint dragon scales appearing on his face, ran with increasing vigor, his flames growing more intense, like a roaring dragon colliding with Kaniber's body.
"Inferno Shatter!"
"Crimson Claw Slash!"
"Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Crimson Fire · Red Lotus Blaze Bullet!"
A black-red shockwave, crimson blade-like claws, and a red humanoid fire projectile struck Kaniber's body almost simultaneously.
The ground shook more violently than before, and Kaniber's head was embedded in the ground.
Wendy and Xialulou, standing nearby, struggled to keep their balance, almost falling to the ground.
Kaniber, struck by the powerful blows, let out a roar and then fell silent.
The receiving magic on Rod was canceled, and the faint dragon scales on Natsu's face disappeared. Both were exhausted, lying on the ground with their chests heaving.
Elusa returned to her regular attire and was still able to move.
She supported Rod and Natsu with one arm each and walked toward Wendy.
"Mr. Rod, Miss Elusa, Mr. Natsu! You are so strong!" Wendy greeted them with a smile.
Elusa smiled, "Thanks to you, your support magic was really impressive."
Rod complained, "I'm so tired."
Natsu, carefree, flashed a brilliant smile and gave a thumbs-up, "We won!"
After a moment of joy, Rod, feeling he could stand, suddenly said, "Right, we can't let our guard down. We should best..."
Before he could finish, Kaniber's body began to disperse like fine sand blown by the wind.
"Looks like we don't need to finish her off."
However, Rod immediately had new concerns. Although they had defeated the demon, they had leveled two small mountains.
Furthermore, they had trespassed into the seal set up by the Evaluation Institute, and the illusion magic array that cost a fortune to set up was also completely destroyed by them...
This would be hard to explain to the Council, even though it was likely that the Council's negligence was the root cause.
Now, the guild master had a headache on his hands.
The group rested on the spot for a while, slightly recovering their magic. Rod stretched out his hand, "Change."
A medical kit appeared in his hand.
Due to her lack of magic, Wendy couldn't use healing spells and had to manually bandage everyone.
Xialulou helped, and Hapy, who couldn't enjoy being cared for, 'woke' up.
The past few minutes had been the peak of Hapy's cat life.
After a simple bandaging, Rod asked, "By the way, Wendy, did you discover something earlier?"
"It... It's about Miss Liss," Wendy's mood dropped.
"Miss Liss has... already died, a long time ago."
Demons are very hard to kill without specialized magic. For example, Deliora was sealed by Ur's Absolute Ice for ten years, continuously draining its life force, but it still wasn't completely dead when it was released.
I never understood whether Deliora's final dissipation was due to Ur's magic or Natsu's punch.
