Chapter 1631 Chapter 1450: Team Battle
Alex's team surged ahead, relentlessly pursuing the enemy. At that very moment, Scarlet engaged in a fierce battle with one of the adversaries, as the rest of the group stood as vigilant spectators.
CRASH!
The resounding echoes of explosive power reverberated through the air as the colossal white bone claw clashed head-on with the fiery column forged from molten lava. Yet, Scarlet and Lark, the esteemed vice general, remained unperturbed by the outcome of their clash. On the contrary, their focus shifted to the next phase of their spellcasting prowess. In the realm of magical duels, the trifecta of damage, speed, and precision reigned supreme.
With synchronized fluidity, the two mages traced intricate patterns in the air, their hands dancing through a symphony of arcane gestures. With a swift motion, they retracted their arms almost simultaneously, only to thrust them forward with renewed vigor.
There was no brilliance or flashes of lightning to be seen. The atmosphere was so calm, as if nothing had happened. But suddenly, the ground in front of them cracked open, releasing a powerful surge of magic that transformed into an axe, splitting the earth apart. Even the toughest mountain rocks couldn't withstand its force and disintegrated instantly. Scarlet pulled back her arms and crossed them over her chest. She then drew a circle in the air, and within moments, a solid barrier formed around her, shielding her from the debris. But just as quickly, a mysterious shadow emerged from the mass of rubble. It was Lark. He stretched out his arms and lunged towards Scarlet with great strength. In the blink of an eye, he slammed his hands against the barrier, causing it to shatter completely. Lark's eyes sparkled with delight at this sight. However, in the next moment, a blinding flash caught his attention.
Boom!
Flames scattered and Lark quickly retreated as if bitten. On the other hand, Scarlet calmly raised her right arm. Three fiery serpents slithered across the ground, chasing after the vampire. Faced with impending disaster, Lark clenched his teeth. A mist of blood sprayed from his mouth, enveloping the fire serpents and extinguishing them completely.
"Miss Scarlet's reflexes are truly remarkable," Madeline commented.
Alex couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Earlier, Lark had relied on his vampire abilities to catch Scarlet off guard. Being different from a human, he believed his speed and regeneration would allow him to effortlessly dodge debris and not require him to defend himself. On the other hand, Scarlet, being a human, had to protect herself, which was why Lark attacked decisively and tried to break through her barrier to defeat her.
"———!"
The ferocious, scorching winds struggled to withstand the assault of the blood blade. Undeterred, Lark swiftly shifted his left hand, forming intricate gestures. Suddenly, a pitch-black mist emanated from his body, gathering in his palm. With a powerful thrust, he forcefully collided with the barrier.
Bang!
This time, the defensive barrier, unable to sustain its power, finally dissipated, leaving behind a bone-chilling coldness that replaced the gust and flames. The scarlet blade whistled through the air, aiming directly for the young lady's exposed neck. Scarlet, seemingly oblivious to the imminent danger, continued to keep her palms together, her gaze lowered, as the chant reached its crucial point. However, Lark was confident that he could defeat her before she completed the incantation!
Clang!
But... Lark's anticipation shattered into fragments upon hearing a thunderous collision. Before his blood blade could stain the young lady's body, it was thwarted by a radiant barrier.
The Sacred Spell!
"Ready to meet your demise?!"
Maggie's voice echoed through the chaos as Lark stood dumbfounded. Without hesitation, he swiftly turned to face the source of the disturbance. His blood blade transformed into a spear, piercing forward with deadly intent. However, in that moment, a radiant pillar of holy light descended from above, obliterating the blood spear into fragments. Emerging from within the luminous column, Maggie clenched her fist and delivered a powerful blow to Lark's body. The vampire, caught off guard, let out a blood-curdling scream as he was sent hurtling backward by the tremendous impact. Simultaneously, the death knight, who had been following closely behind Maggie, emerged from the mist. She raised her heavy longsword and swung it towards Maggie's exposed back.
But in that crucial moment, Scarlet's spell reached its culmination. She raised her arms, lifted her head, and fixed her gaze not on Lark, but on the death knight instead. With a determined expression, she thrust her arms forward.
A dazzling display of magical and spiritual energy burst forth, enveloping the entire world. The raging flames and swirling winds transformed into chains that tightly bound the death knight. Soon after, a swirling magical vortex materialized in midair, and countless meteors rained down from the sky, mercilessly bombarding the ground.
"It is finished," Alex remarked, shrugging nonchalantly as he turned to his strategist, Madeline.
