Chapter 780 Gone

Chapter 780 Gone

Lisa, with the power of the Divine Blood coursing through her, felt a new entity altogether and just a reborn vampire!

Her vampiric aura appeared to be a tempest of vampiric fury and celestial might!

"This power felt a lot scarier than I thought..." Darius muttered as he felt the pressure coming off from the Vampire. Although Jin felt interested in this development, he was obviously not.

Nonetheless, his opinion doesn't matter at this point. He gritted his teeth and trusted that with his companions, none of them would get injured, even if the Vampire sacrificed her life.

"Haaa!"

At this time, the battle recommenced with Lisa unleashing her new abilities.

This time, she moved with a speed that blurred the lines of reality, her attacks was now imbued with the power of the divine!

Jin, Giorgi, and Darius fought back with all their temporal mastery, but Lisa's Divine Blood rendered her nearly untouchable.

Although her combat techniques and her movement techniques were still the same, she was now faster, and her strength was several times stronger!

In a moment of sheer ferocity, she landed a devastating blow upon Darius, the youngest of the Time Manipulators.

Her Divinity was actually able to cut through his Temporal Energy!

It was a huge victory for Lisa as she realized that her Divinity, although limited, was actually working well agains't them!

Furthermore, the blow she released was from her left hand with the Red Bruiser equipped!

The impact destroyed the time and space, a fatal strike that even his mastery over time could not undo.

Thud!

Darius fell, his life extinguished like a flame in the wind.

"Darius! You fool!" Jin shouted in shock as he realized why Darious failed to defend that attack! The young man was too confident in his Temporal Spell to sway the power of the Vampire's attack. Then, he actually planned to counter at that moment, making his defense to be incomplete!

Against a desperate Vampire with strange Divinity, Darius shouldn't have done that and treated the Vampire as a Celestial at this point!

However, there was no point in blaming the lifeless man.

"You're going to pay for this, Vampire!"

Giorgi and Jin, fueled by the loss of their comrade, redoubled their efforts.

They decided to go all out even if they destroy the "merchandise".

They no longer care whether they wouldn't be able to harvest her eyeballs, blood, fangs, and others.

"You'll regret doing this to our friend!" Giorgi yelled as he triggered all of Temporal Energy. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

They wove a complex web of time-based spells, seeking to contain Lisa's divine-enhanced power.

The tower shook with the force of their conflict, the very stones crying out as the tower itself seemed to buckle under the strain.

Even if they used it on Darius, he would only return to his physique without injuries, but he would no longer have his Soul since it had already been dissipated or taken by the Realm's Will.

They then waited for a moment to see if the Royal Mages of the castle would come at them, but it seemed that they realized that Lisa was defeated and were scared to climb up the tower.

Jin and Giorgi then decided not to bother them since they were just small fries in their eyes.

Currently, the weight of their loss hung heavily upon them.

They had no time for mourning, though.

Together, they fixed Darius's lifeless form so they could properly bury him later on. Then, Giorgi produced a curious artifact—a crystalline sphere etched with arcane symbols.

It was aTemporal Stasis Vessel, a relic from a forgotten age.

With solemn reverence, they placed Darius within, the sphere shimmering as it sealed him away. His body would remain preserved, untouched by time, and this was the best they could do for their friend.

Lisa's belongings were next. Her mystical artifacts, the Red Bruiser gloves, and even the remnants of her tattered cloak—all were carefully collected.

Giorgi hesitated, his gaze lingering on the Red Bruiser. Its power was immense, but it had not been enough to save Lisa... Nonetheless, he decided to wear it as he was also impressed by the Space Breaker ability of this item.

It didn't take long before the Time Manipulators exited the tower.

The barrier or the Chrono Seal they had erected would soon dissolve, and they needed to be far away when it did.

The Shadow Immortal, the guardian of this realm, would surely sense the chaotic energy they had unleashed during the battle. They couldn't risk detection as of yet.

"Let's continue with our original plan..." Jin said.

Their destination lay deep within the Forbidden Forest—the territory of the Shadow Immortal. Jin and Giorgi remained silent on their journey, but they both knew what they had to do.

They would uncover the Immortal's secrets, find the Golden Key in his possession, and steal it from him.

***

In the bustling city of Aetherholm, nestled at the northern edge of the Ruri Kingdom, Jin and Georgi sought the Arcanists' Guild as they introduced themselves as Mystic Arts Practitioners.

The guild hall stood as a beacon of esoteric knowledge, its spires was even higher than the churches they had seen...

As they entered, the air hummed with Arcane Resonance, and the scent of ancient tomes enveloped them. It seemed that they had just been inspected by a powerful Appraisal Spell, but they didn't mind it.

In the reception area, a wizened arcanist named Elowen greeted them while holding a thick book in front of her..

Her eyes even seem to hold the wisdom of many years spent deciphering the mysteries of Arcane Magic. "Welcome, travelers," she said. "What brings you to our humble guild?"

Jin stepped forward. "We seek guides—Arcanists who know the Forbidden Forest's secrets. We're bound for the Shadow Immortal's domain."

Elowen's gaze sharpened.

"A risky journey, indeed. However, this isn't a new request. There are still many people who will go there willingly to get an audience with the Immortal... Anyway, we have skilled arcanists who can lead you."
