Chapter 1648 Chapter 1466: Checkmate! The End!

Scarlet's strategy had an immediate effect. Though some attacks were occasionally reflected, they were weak and easily stopped. Meanwhile, the attacks that the Chaos Lord couldn't defend against struck with full force. While these attacks weren't particularly strong, Scarlet's goal wasn't to defeat the Chaos Lord but to keep it contained in this place. From her earlier observations, Scarlet deduced that the Chaos Lord had no offensive abilities other than reflecting attacks. In this scenario, Scarlet still had a chance to keep it under control!

One couldn't deny that Scarlet's strategy proved to be a major annoyance for the Chaos Lord. It seemed to possess no proactive offensive skills. Faced with weak magical and spiritual spells, arrows, and daggers thrown by the thieves, the Chaos Lord found itself in a dire predicament. This further confirmed Scarlet's belief that it couldn't defend against all attacks simultaneously!

Unfortunately, the good times came to an abrupt end.

Just as Scarlet was starting to believe that things were finally falling into place, a deep, raspy voice echoed throughout the air, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

"You... will never be forgiven!"

Startled, Scarlet's breath caught in her throat as she watched a dark, mysterious presence materialize on the ground. Within moments, a sinister energy emanated from the presence, ensnaring the three holy knights in its grip. Astonishingly, the knights remained motionless, unable to retaliate against this unexpected assault.

To Scarlet's horror, the inky black pool began to expand, engulfing everything in its path. It surged towards a specific target with an unstoppable force.

"No!" Scarlet cried out in desperation.

In the blink of an eye, the shadowy wave crashed before her, swallowing her whole in an instant.

And in that very moment...

Kaboom!

The sturdy ground beneath her feet shattered into pieces, sending gravel flying in every direction. Amid the chaos, a brilliant ray of scarlet light pierced through the dark and mysterious torrent.

Simultaneously, a woman's voice reverberated through the air.

"Here I come!"

"Scarlet, how are things looking?" he asked, assessing the situation.

"It's not too bad, Alex. This Chaos Lord is a little troublesome. But thanks to that woman backing up the front, we should be fine..."

"Okay, leave it to me then. Everyone, go for it!"

Upon hearing Scarlet's reassurance, Alex nodded and turned around to issue commands to the spell casters and clerics. In no time, Rhode's group joined the battle, and the air was filled with blinding magical brilliance. The elements of wind, water, fire, and thunder converged, forming various creatures that lunged at the Chaos Lord. The clerics raised their arms high, channeling holy energy from the heavens to unleash powerful attacks upon the hall.

This time, Alex didn't stay hidden in the back, as he had done when his group faced Julia.

At last, evading yet another assault from the swordswoman, the Chaos Lord triumphantly lifted its arms and let out a thunderous roar.

"Death is what you seek! Embrace the chaotic will and perish!"

With a menacing growl, the tattered robe that concealed the Chaos Lord was torn asunder, unveiling its true form. To everyone's astonishment, the Chaos Lord appeared as an enigmatic figure, taking on the shape of a human formed by intricate circles of ancient runes. Within its core, a radiant sphere of luminosity emitted an unparalleled brilliance, steadily intensifying its glow!

A sly grin crept across Alex's face, slowly stretching from ear to ear.

"I've been eagerly anticipating this moment just like last time," he whispered. As if on cue, the sleek ebony firearm, known as Nyx, materialized in his grip, causing the world to come to a sudden standstill. Time itself seemed to freeze, trapping the Chaos Lord in a silent tableau of impending dread.

With a resounding declaration, Alex proclaimed,

"Checkmate! The End!" his voice reverberating through the eerie silence.

In an instant, the tranquility shattered as a thunderous crack pierced the air. The jet-black bullet, propelled by the force of Nyx, tore through the folded dimensions, appearing before the Chaos Lord in the blink of an eye.

A guttural scream escaped the Chaos Lord's lips, only to be abruptly silenced.

"Nooo!" It was the final plea, the last sound uttered before the Chaos Lord dissolved into oblivion, leaving nothing behind but a fading memory.
