Chapter 748 The Specter

"This..."

The Demon Saint, sensing the impending doom, let out a guttural roar. But it was too late. The Hand of the Death God reached out, its grasp was inevitable.

Bam!

The terrifying hand summoned by Lesley and her team caught the Demon Saint in its clutches while it emitted an immense and almost solid pressure.

"We got him... Haha! I enjoyed hunting you, Mr. Demon Saint."

Lesley stepped forward, her eyes seemed to be filled with amusement now that the Demon Saint's life was on the verge of being extinguished...

"This is for all the Dark Alchemists you killed in the special laboratory..." She whispered, and with a flick of her wrist, the huge hand they summoned clenched tightly.

Splat~

There was a sound like thunder, a scream that echoed through the valley, and then silence. The Demon Saint was no more, crushed by the might of the Dark Arts Practitioners' summon.

The energy from the Demon Saint had also gathered to the huge hand as if it was taking its soul as payment for the summon...

After a few moments, the Hand of the Death God dissipated, leaving behind only the remnant energy and the memory of its power.

"Haha! This is our second Demon Saint, Miss Lesley. You're really amazing!"

"To think that we're capable of killing Demon Saints that were rumored to be equal to Immortals... We're incredible!"

"Hahaha... Not even a Demon Saint can handle the Death God's Hand!"

Lesley smiled after hearing their words.

"Yes... But we can't be too complacent. This is just the beginning." Lesley said while looking at her excited team. Although she was also quite proud of their achievement, she didn't get caught by the flow of emotions as they might get too arrogant and try fighting strong Demon Saints...

She believed that if they met a Demon Saint that was at least ranked 20, they would be in big trouble.

"It's time to leave this place.

Lesley reminded her team as their mission was finally complete. They had proven once again that even the demons of the Abyss were not beyond their reach.

'Let's leave the strong ones to those strong groups...' Lesley thought as she prepared to leave.

She was referring to the Bureau with the most number of Half-Immortals in their organization. There was also the Overseer of the Human Realm, Sage Merlin. She believed that the Overseer would never let this Realm become infested with Demons.

As for the Arcane Arts Factions, she believed that they were also capable of fending off the Demon Saints. However, that would only be the case if the Demon Saints would only come one by one.

Anyway, the biggest variable in her mind that could change the tide of this war against the Abyss Realm was the mysterious Shadow Immortal at the border of the Milton and Ruri Kingdom.

Through the reports of the Spy Squads of the Vessels, the Shadow Immortal seemed to be using some sort of dimensional gate to move to various places and fight some of the Demons Saints and help various critical regions of the continent.

"I hope he continues working hard..." Lesley muttered to herself.

The moon hung high in the sky, a silver orb casting its ethereal glow over the besieged city.

It was under this ethereal light that Lisa chose to reveal herself.

She emerged from the darkness, her figure silhouetted against the moon's luminescence, her long dark hair flowing like a banner of war.

The Arcanists, entrenched in their battle against the demon horde, turned at the sound of her approach.

"W-what's that?"

"That's not a demon!"

"Ignore her! Just focus on the demons in front! Those Shamans will handle any demons in the sky!"

"Yes, Captain!"

However, despite hearing the orders, many of them still looked at the figure above them.

Then, their eyes, filled with the fatigue of endless combat, widened as they beheld the vampiric majesty before them.

They felt it... The woman was not an Arcanist but a Vampire!

Lisa's skin was pale, a stark contrast to the night around her, and her eyes glowed with a fierce, ruby-red light that mirrored the bloodlust of the battle.

Lisa then gracefully raised her arms towards the sky...

The surrounding air around her stirred, and from the shadows, her familiars leaped! They were creatures of the night bound to her will.

Wolves with coats as black as pitch and eyes like burning coals snarled at her side, while bats, their wings spread wide, filled the sky with their terrifying presence.

The Arcanists watched a mix of awe and fear etching their faces, as Lisa's familiars joined the fray.

All of them immediately heaved a sigh of relief as soon as the familiars attacked the Demons!

'She's helping us!'

Indeed, the wolves lunged with supernatural speed, tearing into the demon ranks!

The bats also swooped down, their screeches piercing and disorienting the Demons with their sonic assaults.

It didn't end there... Lisa had also made her move like a specter of the night...

Then, the people of the city finally realized the blessing that had arrived.

"It's her! The Sage's prophecy! Our Savior has arrived!"

"Sage Merlin is right! Our city will win against the demons!"
