Apothecary once again shot "Devil Bee Stinger" at the golden spirit body. The moment the latter was hit, its entire body suddenly flashed, leaving behind an afterimage that had been destroyed. Its main body shifted to avoid the damage.
When Apothecary saw that his spirit needle attack was ineffective, he resolutely cast another spell. The formation diagrams on both sides of the honeycomb-shaped barrier in front of him shone with black light …
Seiji controlled his telekinesis clone to approach the enemy and thrust the White Lotus Spirit Saber at the barrier with all his might!
Screech!! The moment the white blade came into contact with the barrier, it shone brightly. In an instant, it pierced through the sturdy defense that even the lightning storm couldn't damage and approached the Apothecary's face.
Apothecary's eyes flickered, but he didn't dodge. The miniature formation on his left and right suddenly stretched out two black claws and grabbed the golden spirit body at an extremely fast speed!
Explode … Seiji wanted his telekinesis clone to explode and cause damage, but he discovered that he had lost control of it.
Poison curse "Night Corrosion Claw"!
Apothecary controlled the two black claws to pierce the golden spirit body and corrode it.
Suddenly, Seiji felt the backlash from the Telekinesis Avatar, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan as an uncomfortable expression appeared on his face.
At the same time, he changed his hand seal and put two fingers together.
Killing Curse "Shadow Stab"!
The remaining White Lotus Spirit Saber immediately broke apart, and a black spike flashed out from within, rapidly striking Apothecary's face!
This was Seiji's true attack.
However, Apothecary was safe and sound.
Fortunately, he had more than one powerful barrier around him. Otherwise, this sneak attack would have taken his life.
"Not bad." Apothecary adjusted his slightly crooked glasses.
Seiji calmed his slightly disordered breathing.
The first round was considered a draw.
In the next second, Apothecary leaped high up from the snake's head. Most of the array diagrams in the honeycomb-shaped barrier around him flickered with yellow light, revealing a dense and extremely large number of sharp spirit needles that were aimed at everyone on the other side!
Seiji formed a seal with his hands and instantly formed a defensive spiritual shield for all his companions with flowing golden light!
In the next second, all the spirit needles shot out!
Apart from Little Shi who managed to dodge in time, the others were more or less hit. Fortunately, they were able to block the attack with their [Mana Shields].
From this wave of attacks, Apothecary had a rough understanding of the opponent's dodging abilities.
Going head-on against the strongest enemy was a tactic, but finding the weakest link in the enemy's camp and attacking them first was another tactic.
Apothecary's first target was the girl in the blue dress. Four yellow wings of light instantly appeared behind his back, and he quickly zigzagged to avoid the swarm of ferocious insects, flying in the direction of his target.
There were lightning strikes, wind blades, and light arrows, but he dodged them all or blocked them with a barrier. At the same time, he was preparing to cast a powerful spell.
Killing curse, "Venomous Grudge Snake"!
Thick gray mist surged out from the formation between his hands, forming a huge gray snake. The scales on the snake's body seemed to form countless twisted human faces, letting out shrill howls that made people's hair stand on end.
The gray snake pounced at its target — Mayuzumi. It opened its black mouth, which was as dark as an abyss!
Kaori's insect swarm and Kazuko's demon swarm were instantly defeated. It would seem that nothing would be able to stop it.
Mayuzumi felt terror. She could have manipulated Leah to block the attack for her, but she realized that sacrificing Leah would be useless.
The only thing that could stop it was —
Golden light instantly appeared in front of her and condensed into a golden spiritual body.
[Telekinesis Body] reconstructed!
Reverse spell, [Dragon Counterattack]!!
Seiji controlled his telekinesis body to block in front of Mayuzumi and cast a spell to block the giant gray snake. He wanted to transform it and counterattack it.
However …
Apothecary calmly changed the direction of the formation in his hands. Gray mist surged out from it and formed a second giant gray snake. This snake pounced at an even faster speed than the first one!
There was more than one "Resentment Snake".
The second target was the purple-robed girl who was currently fighting against one of the giant snake heads — Genji Kagura!
Kagura was busy fighting against the snake head and had no time to spare for anything else. When she suddenly sensed danger, it was already impossible for her to dodge. Nobody else could help her.
Genji felt like she could see death looming over her as the pitch-black mouth approached.
[Evasion spell, [Paper Substitute]]!
Seiji took the time to cast a life-saving spell that he had prepared for everyone.
The purple-robed girl's figure disappeared the instant that the gray snake bit down on her. She was replaced by a small paper person that was swallowed by the gray snake.
Genji reappeared next to Seiji.
Apothecary's expression didn't change at all as he directed the gray snake to another target.
At this moment, his telekinesis body transformed the first gray snake into a golden dragon that counterattacked the second gray snake!
* Boom!! * The golden dragon collided with the gray snake, causing a blinding explosion.
Apothecary remained calm. Gray mist surged out from the formation in his hands for the third time, forming one, two, three, four, five … a total of ten giant gray snakes!
They all pounced at different targets at almost the same time, causing everyone to feel threatened.
Seiji narrowed his eyes and formed a seal with his hands.
The [Great Light] spell formation suddenly glowed and formed many golden pillars of light that illuminated all the gray snakes, purifying them all!
Yet, at this moment, Apothecary suddenly vanished.
Right after that, he reappeared some distance behind Seiji. Gray mist surged out from the formation in his hands for the fourth time, forming countless tiny gray snakes that shot at Seiji's back!
This was a true "Resentment Snake". Even if only a single tiny gray snake managed to injure a target, it would cause continuous damage that was difficult to heal or slow down!!
By the time Seiji noticed this, it was already too late. Not only that, he had just used his full power to destroy the giant gray snake, so it would be difficult for him to turn around and deal with it … of course.
Seiji was already on guard against this move!
His telekinesis clone moved behind him in time and cast a large golden shield that blocked and purified the tiny snakes!
Apothecary immediately had the snakes spread out and surround Seiji in order to fiercely attack him. He wanted to find out the weak points in Seiji's defenses.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed danger.
* Bang!! *
A platinum-colored spiritual bullet shot out from behind him, piercing through his barrier and accurately hitting the back of his head!
Then, a second, third, and fourth spiritual bullet followed … The continuous powerful spiritual bullets sent Apothecary flying. Apothecary's body twisted in strange shapes before finally shattering!!
"Cough …" The second after Apothecary's body shattered, he appeared behind the snake monster. He couldn't help but cough in discomfort.
What had been destroyed was his telekinesis clone, not his main body.
Telekinesis clones were spiritual clones that could cast all sorts of spells just like the main body. Unlike Seiji's telekinesis clone, which could only form a simple human body, Apothecary's telekinesis clone was more complete and detailed. It was capable of greater power and was basically a substitute for Seiji's main body. It was incredibly similar to Seiji's main body.
However, the price for this was that Apothecary's main body received a severe backlash when his telekinesis clone was destroyed.
Still, losing a telekinesis clone to find out that the enemy had a powerful sniper lying in ambush wasn't a waste.
From the very start, Apothecary had suspected that there were more people in the enemy's camp than he saw. Now, his suspicions were confirmed.
Reconstructing his telekinesis clone!
Apothecary formed a seal with both hands and cast a spell. Yellow light appeared before him and speedily formed a clone that was identical to him.
The next second, Apothecary's main body disappeared.
At the same time.
"Nice shot." Seiji used a spell to communicate with the sniper, Mai.
"Thank you for your praise," Mai responded. "Unfortunately, that wasn't his main body."
"That's not surprising. He's a member of the Messengers, so he'll definitely have such tricks up his sleeves … You need to be careful from now on. He might try to find you."
"I will. I'll be good bait."
"Aren't you …"
"I was just saying. You'll protect me, right, Young Master?"
"Of course."
