Chapter 624

Chapter 624

Alright, alright, alright, lets clash!

Whats with this lunatic!

Leeha was taken aback. Was he completely unaware of how formidable that attack was? Regardless, the thought alone was enough to make Leeha forget his own terror for a moment.

Leeha quietly pulled the trigger. At the same moment, Larks sword, as loud as thunder, charged towards Toon as well. When the two attacks collided, the shockwave sent Leeha tumbling backwards. The smell of gunpowder wafted from Black Basss barrel.

[Ahhh-]

When dust settled and he reopened his eyes, what the users found was a brilliant light. Countless ice shards glittered as they reflected the sunlight. It was Toons arm that had shattered. Kijung had blocked and Ram Hwajung had frozen it, and now Leeha had finally broken it!

However, there was no time to be shocked that Toons arm had shattered. The real astonishment lay elsewhere.

Whew, whew- impressive indeed.

Had losing an arm slowed down his attacking speed?

Toons other arm, which he swung, couldnt inflict any damage. It was blocked by Lark, the Rainbow Knight.

Alone?

It cant be- he blocked Toons attack all by himself?

Even Alexander couldnt do it, how could this man

Ah, wait, wait. Well ask what you mean by this man later. It certainly sounds like the treasure voice of a rare jewel.

Lark answered, giggling without even looking around. It meant he still had the luxury to laugh. Toon, having lost an arm and his attack blocked, staggered backwards.

[Where did this guy come from-]

Phew, the hero always appears later, you know. In the same sense, it means you, Toon, are not the hero. Isnt it about time you disappeared?

Leeha didnt know whether to admire or be infuriated. Clearly, the skill was remarkable, but the way of speaking, somehow logical yet infuriating, was something he just couldnt get used to.

Luckily, Larks constant babbling was effective. It was enough to completely distract Toon, already shocked by the loss of his arm and his attack being blocked, without a moments rest.

During the remaining time, there was no way to focus on [Divine Staff].

[Saint Power Charged: 100%]

[Cardinal Romeros prayer has reached the heavens.]

[Divine Staff has been activated.]

[In 21 days, the Holy Spirit will condense on Divine Staff.]

The notification only briefly caught the users eyes. A beam of light shot up to the sky from Divine Staff, and in response, a cascade of light showered down on them.

Wow All debuffs removed, and health and mana fully restored?

Open character windows to check HP and MP status, users clicked their tongues. God indeed knew how to love his creations who rely on him.

[Khua, kueeeee]

Hah-ha! Trying to run away? But you know we cant just let you go easily, right?

With his spirits lifted, Lark charged at Toon. If the power used to block Toons arm swing was converted to attack, Toon would undoubtedly be in trouble. Especially since one of his arms had been completely smashed by Leehas attack.

Users watched Lark with eager eyes, but Lark couldnt continue his next attack. The form of the dragon began to blur and fade away. [Divine Staff must ] As if a hologram was disappearing, Toons form simply vanished. All that remained was an illusion in Toons shape.

What?

When had he started preparing it? Until the attack on Lark, he was definitely the real body. Then, when had he prepared his illusion? Right after the attack failed? Or when Divine Staff was activated?

Hey, over there!

Toons true form was already running away in the distance.

What? It can use illusions too?

Wow! And so secretly?

Thats ridiculous! Its unfair for something with such a big size to use illusion magic without anyone noticing!

If that thing can use illusion skills too, its going to be a problem during the real raids.

Users clicked their tongues in disbelief when Leeha was able to grasp the gist of the situation.

Elizabeth had clearly said it. Theres no need for mana evaporation bullets. That guy doesnt have any skills. Magic doesnt make sense either. Then, theres only one person who could be behind this.

Secure the Divine Staff within the New Continent of Erika in 15 days.Protect the Divine Staff for 21 days after securing it.

Standing slightly away from such NPCs, feeling awkward, was Prea.

Caught between action and inaction after Chiyous death, she had ended up here by inadvertently stepping(?) on Toons foot.

Huff if I had intended to kill you so easily, I wouldnt have bothered granting you such precious strength, would I?

[Thats right-]

What do you mean, thats right, you dumb dinosaur brat!

Before Toon could finish speaking, Bluebeard figure had already moved above Toons head. Swinging his staff, Bluebeard struck the back of Toons head. Though it seemed a light hit, the sound began to reverberate throughout the entire cave.

[Cough-!]

Didnt I tell you we need to awaken Ghibrid as soon as possible? At this critical moment, when we should be advancing the ambush disguised as the 4th wave, sooner rather than later- and what? You couldnt even break that cursed staff? Even though we have to gather roots, it will still take two months, you idiotic thing!

Whack! Whack! Bluebeards thrashing didnt cease. Prea, watching from the side, flinched and stealthily summoned a spirit, knowing that if even a spark flew her way, a single hit could end her due to the torment Toon was undergoing.

Whats this? I smell a disunited household.

Therefore, Prea had to prepare. She needed a way to escape unnoticed or distract Bluebeard in case of an emergency. However, that very act caught Bluebeards attention. Their eyes met.

Ah, what? Me?

It was impossible for Bluebeard not to notice the summoning of the spirit. Picking up his hat that had fallen while striking Toon and placing it back on his head, Bluebeard approached Prea.

It smells like a disunited household. The stench effused by those Ifrit lackeys. Ignis- no, no. Selena. So, youre a spiritualist.

What Prea had prepared was to summon Selena invisibly. Bluebeard had caught on through the smell alone.

Im Prea.

Chiyou I knew you were around her. Yes, I remember seeing you at the fortress.

When Bluebeard mentioned Chiyou, Prea saw his cheeks twitch slightly. Although Chiyou had contributed significantly in confirming the location of the [Divine Staff], from a consequentialist viewpoint, to Bluebeard, Chiyou was in the same position as Toon. Essentially, at this point, a clear failure.

Chiyou, having reconnected after the death penalty, how badly will she be treated by Bluebeard? If Biyemi knew this fact, lizardia would have been smiling broadly for hours. In Bluebeards view, given the system, Chiyous perception had deteriorated to this extent.

Prea, just by observing Bluebeards expression, could discern that fact.

Thats correct. Even with my modest strength, I am aiding Chiyou.

Bluebeard momentarily paused at Preas address, which lacked any honorifics.

Carefully lifting her head, it was unclear whether Bluebeards expression was one of amusement or contemplation, but Prea made a bold decision nonetheless.

Snap! With a flick of her finger, spirits appeared beside her. Bluebeard, observing their presence, couldnt help but burst into laughter.

Noeanen? Selena with Celestine, Elerestra! Puhahahat! Whats this? I see. So thats why formal titles were unnecessary.

Selena, the supreme fire spirit in a flaming skirt. Noeanen, a muscular, macho supreme earth spirit. Celestine, the supreme wind spirit lying in a slanted pose with a cheerful smile. And Elerestra, the supreme water spirit with a pure face and hands politely joined together. All were supreme spirits of the four elements.

There are a few more interesting things besides this.

Hmmmm You must have wished and hoped for Chiyous disappearance, looking forward to this day.

Not exactly. Hehe, but this kind of thing is fun, isnt it?

It was natural for a being like Bluebeard. At least, in the eyes of a Demon Kings Fragment, in terms of combat power or rarity, Preas power was regarded higher than Chiyous.

Kukuku, borrowing the power of spirits, yet not seeking to receive my power. Nor aiming to gain the power of demons, why stick around Chiyou? Ifrit and Sylphid would throw a fit if they knew.

Yet, not revealing ones true capabilities and remaining quiet until now, what did that mean? Bluebeard was an NPC capable of instantly discerning the efforts of a spiritualist trying to approach him.
