Chapter 1889. Fighting Mammon

Mammon swung his darkness-coated monk's spade. His swing conjured a darkness-filled hurricane that assailed everyone around him. Nearby Devotee of Passion's members were swept by this dark turbulence. Leda cast a spell that created a pyramid of light that protected her. The Soul Swan covered itself using its wings.

"Haha! Are you two the only worthy opponents left?" Mammoth mocked. "If you are, then I have grown bored of this. Maybe it's time to end this pathetic game."

Mammon increased his attacking pace. Leda and the Soul Swan had difficulty keeping up. The others could no longer approach with Mammon's dark energy growing more violent. Many demons also kept them occupied, leaving only Leda and the Soul Swan to deal with the devil. The two's HP continued to drop at a worrying rate.

Suddenly, a soothing wind blew past, and a refreshing rain fell from the sky.

"Hm...?" Mammon stopped his offense. He could sense this was no normal wind and rain.

Nearby defenders touched by the wind and rain had their HP, MP, and Stamina restored. They also felt refreshed. Their fatigue was gone. Most of all, they felt hope inside their hearts again. This wind and rain had somehow washed away the despair gripping their hearts.

This wind and rain were a spell cast by Freddie. The spell was called World's Blessing. He gained this spell when his World Warden class reached level 80. Its recovery effect was much more powerful than Druid's healing wind and healing rain combined. The spell also covered an extremely large area. One-fifth of the battlefield received the healing. World's Blessing lasted half an hour at max level. As long as this enchanted rain fell, the defenders were unlikely to die.

Mammon's keen mana sense quickly guided him to the source of the spell. He laid eyes on four outworlders heading toward him. The Soul Swan and Leda took the chance when Mammon was preoccupied with the outworlders to retreat and recover themselves.

"Outworlders?! Good! I will enjoy tearing you to shreds!" He exclaimed. He shoved one of his arms forward. A thick dark-elemental beam shot at the four.

Jeanny and the others went in different directions when the beam came. The beam split into four smaller beams after passing them. These beams then made a U-turn and came at them from behind.

"Look out!" Freddie warned.

Jeanny had mana sense, so she was aware of the incoming beam. David and Spring Crown looked back after hearing Freddie's warning. Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com

Freddie used his curved stick to perform Reversing Heaven and Earth, which he had learned from Domon. The martial art deflected the dark beam and sent it careening in another direction.

Because of the frustration, Mammon was late to sense an attack from a different source. A meteor-like energy that moved at an incredible speed and left sonic boom trails slammed into one of Mammon's eyes.

This meteor-like energy came from David. He was holding two guns. His fallen apostle's gun was the same as the fallen apostle's longsword and dagger. Its original form was a long rifle, but it could split into two smaller handguns, allowing David to use dual guns.

The skill David used to hit Mammon was Meteor Shot. It was a non-standard skill. The same skill used by Fast Hand Triggerman, an outlaw Jack defeated in the past.

David's shot bought Jeanny the opportunity she needed. The pain from having his eye assaulted caused Mammon to stop swinging. Jeanny finally stabbed her spear into Mammon. She disappeared after the stab, reappearing above Mammon, and landing another stab again.

The process repeated, drawing multiple damage numbers from Mammon. The fallen apostle's weapons had the highest damage stat for a weapon. The damage was further amplified by Jeanny's skills. Shift Jump's dished out better damage compared to Dragoon's Jump Attack. Dragonflight also increased the damage as long as the attack was performed during movement. The farther Jeanny moved before her spear stabbed, the higher the inflicted damage.

Even though the damage numbers were high, they were minuscule compared to Mammon's total HP. Rather than physical pain, the devil was hurt more by the shame of getting hit by these outworlders.

"You, worthless bugs...!!!" He screamed in anger.

Turbulent winds of darkness burst out of his body. Jeanny, who was the closest, was hit point-blank by the surge. She tumbled within the dark hurricane while suffering damage numbers. While she was helpless, Mammon drew his weapon, ready to strike.

"Jeanny!!" David called with worry. He used Rapid Shot, intending to draw the devil's attention.

His bullets hit, but they didn't bother Mammon. However, another person managed to draw the devil's attention. This person was Spring Crown. His flight speed was slower than Jeanny's Dragonflight speed, but he had used the chance when Jeanny was tussling with Mammon to sneak behind the devil. His inhuman perception let him perceive the weakest part among the turbulent winds blowing around Mammon. He coursed through this part to get close to the devil.

Sneaking was, of course, useless against Mammon who could sense mana. Mammon even intentionally ignored Spring Crown. He was determined to take down Jeanny first, who had been so audacious to lay a hand on him. He didn't put Spring Crown in his eyes. Even if that outworlder hit him, he wouldn't stop his strike.

When he felt an impact on his arm that was swinging the weapon, it was a critical hit. However, that was not the surprising part. The surprising thing was the impact caused his swing to swerve. Because of that, his monk's spade went off course and missed Jeanny.

"What...?!" He looked back in surprise. Spring Crown had hit him using Power Strike, but he had a natural constitution that resisted most knockback effects. He had used mana manipulation to make sure his swinging arm was protected. How did that seemingly weak strike cause his swing to swerve?

The outworlder who had done so was grinning at him with mockery. This pissed Mammon even more than what the outworlder woman had done.

"Diee...!!!" Mammon roared. His arm shot back at Spring Crown. His monk's spade gleamed with a dark purple aura.
