Chapter 311 Light in Desperation

The formidable magic power was ceaselessly amassing atop the fine steel war spear held by the Goblin Ruler, the "War God Face".

Although Viviana lacked the ability to perceive the flow of magic, the spatial distortion caused by the terrifying energy was visible to all.

What truly terrified Viviana was not the force that was currently gathering and compressing, but the Goblin Ruler's hand that was poised but yet to strike.

When will this fine steel war spear be hurled? And can she evade it?

Facing this war spear as massive as a ship, Viviana knew that her frail body, drifting in the wind, would perish instantly even if merely grazed. But she had no choice but to give it her all, right?

Viviana spurred her warhorse, and after it started moving, she suddenly leapt off its back, standing alone against the impending disaster.

—"Crimson Sword Array: Guardian Style!"

As Viviana thrusted her crimson silver longsword into the ground, seven beams of crimson silver light shoot out from beneath her feet, forming a circular light ring that protects her.

This protective light ring would move with her, and this was all the preparation she could make in advance.

What remained was to concentrate all her attention, striving to avoid the attack trajectory to the greatest extent possible when the Goblin Ruler threw the war spear.

That's all there is to it.

In Viviana's field of vision, these few seconds seemed as long as minutes, but in reality, all this happened in the blink of an eye.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the Goblin Ruler's War God Face suddenly hurled the fine steel war spear with tremendous force. Although Viviana reacted in advance, her movement speed was insignificant in the face of the enemy's wide attack range.

As the war spear was about to hit her, Viviana is even prepared to die.

But at this moment, two things happened simultaneously.

First, two black figures suddenly sprang out, leaping into the air, blocking the flight path of the fine steel war spear for Viviana!

Second, the Cardinal Elder, disregarding his safety, activated the "Burst Mode" of the Flame Wings. He dived down from the air, hoisting Viviana onto his shoulder, trying to take her out of the attack range of the fine steel war spear!

In a daze, Viviana saw the two black figures instantly turn into ashes. She saw blood spurting out from somewhere, splattering the sky... noVe-lb-1n

Then, the fine steel war spear hit the ground, causing a huge depression in the originally flat terrain with a loud "boom"! The dust on the ground was swept up by the delayed gust of wind, shrouding this piece of land in dust.

But alas, the "No Smoke, No Harm Law" of the Earth world did not apply here. When Viviana could see the scene in front of her again, her heart skipped a beat.

.

Viviana, who was saved, was lying on the ground, and the Cardinal Elder who saved her was also lying nearby.

Viviana sat up and looked at the Cardinal Elder. What she saw is the Cardinal Elder cauterizing his lower leg with a glowing crimson demon sword.

The Cardinal Elder was not self-harming, but self-saving. He was cauterizing his lower leg to stop the bleeding from the wound. Otherwise, he, who had lost half of his lower leg, would soon die from excessive blood loss.

Yes, the lower half of the Cardinal Elder's legs and both feet were all severed in the dive to save Viviana just now.

"C-Cardinal... Elder... I..."

The cruel scene brought Viviana to the brink of mental breakdown, and she stammered, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the Cardinal Elder, as a teacher, did not forget to lead by example and teach Viviana how to face such situations on the battlefield.

"Stop talking nonsense, stand up, the battle is not over yet!"

The Cardinal Elder didn't even furrowed his brows. After treating his wound, he immediately unfolded his Flame Wings and flew out of the area covered by dust.

His tough act immediately injected Viviana with a shot of adrenaline.

Viviana, whose lips were still trembling just now, suppressed the panic in her heart and slapped herself hard to pull herself together!

At this time, the neighing of a warhorse came from the side.

The warhorse that Viviana deliberately let go of earlier had actually turned back to find her. —(Banning's warhorse? )

—(Sigh... why did you come back?)

—(Wait, where is Banning?)

Viviana belatedly realized that Banning had disappeared at some point.

But at this moment, the dust was quickly blown away by a gust of wind that seemed to be caused by magic, exposing her once again to the enemy's line of sight.

"Please, just start running!"

Viviana didn't want to make the same mistake again. Since Banning's warhorse was willing to live and die with her, she would use this power to the fullest.

However, after the warhorse started running, another scene she couldn't bear to witness appears in Viviana's field of vision.

The Obsidian Elder, left with only one hand, was being beaten back by the chain-wielding old man. The metal chains that emerge from the old man's body slithered like snakes, twisting in the air to form bizarre attack trajectories, and constantly launching attacks from various angles with the skull-headed scythe at the end of the chains.

The Obsidian Elder barely defended himself with the Lightbane Spellblade in one hand, and the enemy's all-around multiple attacks forced him to protect only the vital parts, leaving the rest of his body covered in wounds.

It's more accurate to say that the chain-wielding old man was enjoying the pleasure of tormenting the Obsidian Elder rather than fighting.

Viviana knew that the true strength of the Obsidian Elder is not limited to this, but now that he had been beaten to this extent, it can only mean that he had exhausted all his trump cards.

—(What should I do...?!)

Both elders are in deep crisis, and Viviana was anxious. She subconsciously clenched her fists, unaware that her nails had pierced the flesh of her palms, and that the blood flowing out had dyed her hands red.

All Viviana could think of now was how to lure the Goblin Ruler away from the entrance of the labyrinth, even if it's just for a minute. But the Goblin Ruler is obviously a creature with wisdom, deliberately guarding this place, refusing to let Viviana and her companions leave!

Viviana, a veteran of countless battles, had never felt such deep-rooted despair on the battlefield.

All along, no matter how difficult the situation, as long as the Cardinal and Obsidian Elders were by her side, they could always turn peril into safety.

But now, even the hope represented by the two elders was in danger!

The Obsidian Elder was on the verge of death at the hands of the enemy. As the Cardinal Elder faced life-threatening attacks from the Goblin King, Viviana couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

Desperate, she sits on the horse's back, not even knowing where to go.

However, at this moment, the other "light" that she had forgotten reappeared in a way that no one expected!

"Goblin King! Look over here!" (In evilkind language)

On a tree branch near the Goblin Ruler, a young man's loud voice attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Goblin King! Look! What am I holding in my hand?!"

The young man held a necklace high in his hand, flaunting it to the Goblin Ruler.

"Look carefully, this is your cherished treasure, the Dragon Pupil Crystal Necklace · Goblin Greed! If you want it back, come and take it yourself!"
