Chapter 749 Lisa's Battle
Lisa chucked after hearing the Arcanists below her. Certainly, Sage Merlin informed the City Lords that they would receive help from the gods once they followed his instructions but would be abandoned if they ignored his warnings.
Of course, with the help of the Arcane Bureau, which basically monitors the whole continent, Vale knew that the City Lords had followed their instructions and sent Lisa and Yvaine to assist them.
"Focus..." Lisa muttered to herself.
Her fangs gleamed in the moonlight, each vampiric strike was precise and lethal. Her claws, now extended and razor-sharp, sliced through demonic flesh as if it were mere parchment!
After clearing a large group of Demons in front, Lisa decided to speak.
"I am Lisa, a True Vampire, sent by the Sage to aid this city! Now, I will take the lead in front and kill the Demons! Join me!" She proclaimed, her voice echoing with newfound authority.
"We will follow you, Vampire!"
"Haha! A Vampire sent by the Sage! Of course, we'll follow!"
"Please, lead us to victory!"
The commanders, who were thinking of retreating, regained their courage to confront the enemies.
Although a single Arcanist may not heavily affect the battlefield, it was definitely different for a True Vampire!
Vampires had incredible regenerative abilities, and their tenacity was unmatched as long as they could consume blood.
As Lisa took charge, the Arcanists rallied behind her, their spells ready.
She raised her hands, and from the ground erupted a legion of crimson tendrils, the manifestation of her blood magic.
Indeed, the blood of Arcanists that was mixed with the blood of the demons was now under Lisa's control!
It was a perfect spell on a battlefield soaked with blood!
"Incredible..."
"All the blood is being controlled by the Vampire!"
"Follow her lead!"
"Hahaha! This is a lot easier now!" One of the Runecasters exclaimed as he saw the Vampire's spell in action.
These blood tendrils snaked through the battlefield, seeking demon flesh and pulling the vile creatures into the earth, leaving behind nothing but echoes of their demise.
Seeing such an effective way of eliminating the Demons, many of them couldn't help but glance at the beautiful Vampire!
"Is this really it?" Lisa muttered as she ignored the gazes cast on her.
Lisa's eyes, glowing with a preternatural luminescence, scanned the battlefield as she continued with her spells.
She chanted in the ancient tongue of vampires.
The words were a melody of darkness, each syllable a note in the symphony of war.
With the final words of the ritual, she unleashed the Vampiric Maelstrom, a whirlwind of sanguine energy that drained the demons of their vitality, transferring their life force to her body, healing her injuries, and bolstering her strength.
Thanks to Lisa's initiative, the other Arcanists had enough time to recover and used various spells, and potions to increase strength and heal their injuries.
The Magic Knights, infused with new stamina, formed the vanguard, their blades now coated in a rime of frost and flame.
Elementalists summoned torrents of elemental burst, their spells amplified by the elemental talismans they triggered.
Shamans, also gathered enough Mystical Energy and called forth a host of spectral warriors that filled up the sky!
Runecasters etched runes of power into the very stones of the city, creating a network of explosive traps that detonated with every demon step!
Lisa didn't reply as she took a deep breath.
'I knew it wouldn't be this easy.' Lisa thought with a helpless smile on her face.
Nonetheless, she was actually unafraid.
She was undaunted by the Demon Saint's fearsome visage and stepped forward.
"You shall not pass..." She declared, her voice cutting through the silence like a blade.
"Hahahaha!"
The Demon Saint laughed, a sound that was both a promise and a curse.
"Foolish Vampire, do you not know whom you face? I am the harbinger of your end, the architect of corruption, Saint Kougar! I know you've reached your limit!"
With a gesture, the Demon Saint unleashed hisCorrupted Divinity, a miasma of decay that sought to taint all it touched.
Lisa felt the corruption clawing at her, threatening to overwhelm her vampiric nature.
"Tsk..."
Lisa frowned as she wasn't sure if she could endure this...
She then called out to Yvaine, the Dark Spirit who had remained hidden until now.
"Yvaine, I need you!"
From the shadows, Yvaine emerged, her form a wisp of darkness.
"I am here, Lisa. I've never fought against a Demon Saint, so let's work together."
"Yes!"
Lisa and Yvaine fought back-to-back, their powers intertwined. Lisa's blood magic clashed with the Demon Saint's corruption, her spells weaving a protective shroud around them.
Yvaine, her spirit form flickering, struck at the Demon Saint with tendrils of pure shadow...
"Is that all?" Kougar laughed as he already knew that he could win this. Although he didn't expect a Dark Spirit's appearance, it wasn't a threatening reinforcement that he should worry about.
Indeed, Lisa and Yvaines were outmatched.
The Demon Saint's power was immense, his corruption seeping into the very stones of the city, wilting the life from them.
It was then that Lisa completed her preparation.
Shiiing~
She pulled out a weapon. It was Magic Artifact that Vale, the Shadow Immortal, had entrusted to her—a weapon he named himselfEclipse Scythe.
Its blade was a sliver of darkness, forged from the essence of Vale's own Shadow Divinity.
With a flick of her finger, numerous bats gathered around her but they didn't last long. Ass soon as the bats dispersed, there was a weapon in her hands.
With the Eclipse Scythe in hand, Lisa fought back!
The scythe hummed with the power of the Shadow Divinity, cutting through the corruption as if it were but mist.
However, it didn't end there...
Soon, Yvaine took out a glowing talisman from the shadows!
It was one of the Divine Talismans made from Vale's blood!
