"Guh!"
The demonic hand member grunted in pain, even so, he grit his teeth and stretched out his hands to grab Eliza's arm, probably with the intention of activating some skill that required physical contact.
Naturally, there was no way that Eliza was going to let him get to her so easily.
The battle priestess created a small barrier around her arm that prevented the man from touching her arm, slowly watching the expression on his face turn to shock the moment he noticed the barrier.
Before he could even make the split-second decision to still activate the skill, Eliza had already pulled back her spear and stabbed forwards multiple times, perforating a few new holes in his forehead.
She tapped her foot on the ground twice, creating two barriers on her sides to block the flame spears and wind blades that simultaneously came from both sides.
Just before she could dash towards either side, the corpse of the demonic hand member who wanted to grab her fell towards her body, with her reflexively backstepping to avoid it from touching her.
A thought flashed through her mind, with a sudden blush appearing on her cheeks right after as she suddenly felt embarrassed for thinking that.
'Why did the words 'Only Evan is allowed to touch me' come to my mind now of all times?!'
Despite her internal panic, she didn't forget the fact that she was currently in a battle, throwing her left fist towards the combatant that dashed towards her from that direction and slamming the person's face with her life aura-coated fist.
Of course, the anti-regeneration effect was currently active so whatever wounds she gave her opponents would not be healing themselves anytime soon even if her opponents were level 200 existences with powerful regenerative capabilities owing to their high health stats.
The Health Reduction effect was also active so the Health stats of anyone she damaged dropped by a whole rank, making it easier for her to send them to the afterlife.
"Okay, stop thinking about your boyfriend Eliza.
Focus on the fight."
She lightly slapped her cheeks as she spoke, picking her spear up and getting into a stance as she gazed at the various men and women who surrounded her.
They were dressed in various attires ranging from robes, to leather or metallic armours, with some even wearing skin-tight bodysuits and numbered in the dozens, possibly hundreds.
And these weren't all as Kayla and Kuro had their own share of hundreds after them, while some had jumped down the hole to chase after Greed and Faerora, with a few even deigning to interfere in Evan's battle with Lensa.
"Let's get a bit serious with this, now."
Eliza's words shocked the few demonic hand members who heard them, with one of them glancing at the corpses of high levelled members that surrounded her as she thought.
'She killed those guys when she wasn't serious?'
Sadly, those were the demonic hand member's last thoughts as within those few moments of absent-mindedness, Eliza locked onto her and kicked off the ground, dashing towards the woman with the full power behind her 'B-' agility stat.
"Hap."
Eliza swung the spear horizontally, unleashing a cutting wave that sliced off the head of the demonic hand member with ease, before ducking to avoid the blade thrust that came from behind.
She spun around and delivered a low kick that swept the sword wielder off his feet, with her spear flashing as she lopped his head off using the bladed side of the weapon's tip.
Not letting the corpse fall onto her, she quickly got up, twisting her body mid-way to avoid the throwing knives that attempted to pierce her torso whilst simultaneously activating flower cannon.
**WOONNNGG!!
**BOOOMMM!!!
The building where the person who threw those knives, along with a few other archers was instantly reduced to dust by a beam of concentrated magic power, with Eliza dashing towards the crumbling building with speed so fast she looked like a flash of green light to those below level 200.
"GAH!!"
"ARGH!!"
Two grunts of pain rang out as Eliza took advantage of their reduced visibility due to the dust of the building crumbling to reap their lives, sensing three more life signs up ahead which she shot towards as rings of green light appeared around her wrists and feet.
Her speed increased exponentially, with her instantly arriving in front of the coughing demonic hand member and kicking his head with her enhanced strength.
As his body flew to the side, she instantly targeted the two people on the floor beside him, releasing a cutting wave that reaped their lives, before manifesting a barrier to block the magic that came from behind her.
"Flower Cannon."
As the gigantic shoot emerged from the ground once more, Eliza climbed atop it and used it as a springboard to jump up into the air, landing in the middle of the fluster of demonic hand members who were racing towards her.
**BAMM!!
She released a burst of magic power with her landing, spreading out shock waves that knocked the majority of them off their feet, with those who managed to remain standing losing their balance and becoming easy targets for her flower cannon's beam of magic power.
[Level Up.]
The girl ignored the notification in front of her and thrust her spear forward, stabbing into the chest of one of the female demonic hand members, her brow twitching slightly as she felt her spear slide off something soft and miss its target, only inflicting a small cut on the side of the woman's body.
'Are you frigging kidding me?!'
Eliza screamed out internally as she spun her body around to release an omnidirectional cutting wave.
At the end of her spin, her spear collided with that same woman once more, but this time, the weapon slashed through the woman's arm, cutting it off before going on to dig into her torso.
"Just die already!"
The battle priestess screamed out as she injected pure magic power into the woman's body through the cut, detonating the magic power right after and causing her body to explode.
The barrier she manifested at the last moment prevented her from being stained by the blood splatter, as well as the rock spear that came right behind it.
"Flower Cannon."
