Chapter 563 Confrontation
?Villain Ch 563. Confrontation
Bella shrugged off the unfruitful attempt at diplomacy. "Disappointing, but not unexpected," she remarked, her nonchalant demeanor a testament to her practical outlook on the challenges they faced.
Jane, undeterred by the shadowy rejection, maintained her easygoing attitude. "Well, at least I've tried," she quipped, a touch of wry humor underlying her words. Dive into Stories, Embrace Enchantment: N♡vεlB¡n.
Zoe voiced her impatience. "Let's end this battle as soon as possible. Their wail is getting on my nerves," she declared, her grimace reflecting the irritation permeating the group.
The shadows' dissonant wail ceased abruptly, replaced by an eerie silence that heralded the imminent clash. In perfect synchronization, the shadows surged forward, their eyes aflame with an unsettling anger that echoed in their ghostly forms.
As the shadows closed in from all directions, the group instinctively huddled together, forming a protective circle. Backs pressed against each other, they braced for the impending onslaught, a united front against the encroaching shadows.
In the midst of the tense silence, Vivian and Zoe took positions facing the sections of the wall where the shadows emerged. Their strategic placement allowed them to engage the enemy at a middle range, poised to counter the spectral assailants as they materialized.
The discontentment in Bella's tone was palpable as she elaborated on the multifaceted challenges they faced. "Three of them," she lamented.
The battle raged on in the confined passages of the emperor's tomb, and the onslaught of shadows intensified. The nimble ones managed to dodge or parry the ethereal attackers, but the sheer number of shadows made it impossible to fend off every encroaching threat. The specters pressed forward, their phantom limbs reaching out with malicious intent.
The shadows' hands, adorned with razor-sharp claws, were poised for attack. Despite the valiant efforts of the adventurers, the relentless advance of the spectral horde began to take its toll. Allen and the girls found themselves facing a relentless tide that seemed to emerge from the very walls surrounding them.
Jane's wraiths, normally a formidable force on the battlefield, struggled to hold back the overwhelming numbers. As the shadows materialized from within the walls, they disrupted the cohesion of the wraiths' defenses.
Allen deftly raised his hand, pointing at them. 'Telekinesis Blast!'
In an attempt to regain control of the situation, Allen unleashed the full force of his Telekinesis Blast. The invisible wave of energy surged forth, creating a shockwave that sent the shadows hurtling ten meters away. It was a brief respite, a momentary reprieve from the relentless advance of the spectral horde.
Seizing the opportunity presented by the scattering shadows, Allen swiftly followed up with a barrage of Demonic Orbs. The orbs, infused with dark energy, sailed through the air with deadly precision. Each orb found its mark, dissipating the shadows upon impact. However, the victory was short-lived as the remnants of the shadows began to reform, their ethereal essence coalescing once again.
The others, not to be outdone, joined the fray with a synchronized onslaught of area-of-effect skills. Bella's thunderstorm crackled with electrical fury, striking down the shadows in its radius. Larissa's Blood Manipulation skills danced through the air, slicing through the lingering specters. Zoe's tentacles thrashed and writhed, creating a barrier against the encroaching darkness.
Despite the collective effort, the relentless nature of the shadows proved challenging to overcome. The close confines of the tomb exacerbated the difficulty, limiting the effectiveness of their area attacks. The echoes of the shadows' haunting wails continued to reverberate, adding an eerie backdrop to the chaotic battle.
After an arduous struggle that felt like an eternity, the battle against the shadows finally subsided. Five minutes of relentless combat left the once-confined chamber feeling both emptied and silenced. The panting echoes resonated within the stone walls as they caught their breath, exchanging exhausted glances to ensure the absence of any lingering threats.
