But when Mephisto displayed his strength, Andesha immediately wanted to use her strength to suppress him. Both of them were prideful people. However, Giant Plant was an eighth-circle Druid spell, and also the highest-circle Druid spell that Tree Herders could cast. Its effect was to increase the strength of the plants by more than ten times due to their size.
In other words, the power of the vines under Andesha's command was not inferior to a true Elemental Awakened warrior.
The dragon-like vines weaved a net in the air, and under Andesha's command, they sealed off all of Mephisto's escape routes. The Ash Sword Saint had no choice but to face them head-on.
But Mephisto did not panic. He slowly came to a stop and raised his head to look at the giant tentacles that were waving in the air.
The tentacles pounced towards him.
He raised his sword and activated 'Gray World'. Then, he swung the sword upwards with both hands. Even though they were about a hundred meters away, Brando and Vahina suddenly felt the world turn dark.
It was as if the only thing left in the world was the grey sword in Mephisto's hand. The grey line extended diagonally upwards and divided the world into two.
Then, time stopped.
With the sound of something breaking apart, the tentacles in the air were all cut off at the same time from their roots. Green liquid gushed out from the severed parts. One could imagine the scene of countless dragons being severed in the air and falling to the ground.
It was a spectacular sight.
Then, the broken plants fell backward one after another. From mid-air, it looked like a chrysanthemum had bloomed in the forest, but this chrysanthemum was green. The vines fell to the ground with a loud crash and swept through a patch of ancient trees in the forest. Smoke and dust filled the air.
Mephisto had expended a lot of energy after using the sword. He propped his sword on the ground and gasped for breath.
But Andesha was not in a good state either. Her spell was completely destroyed in an instant, and the backlash from the spell almost caused her to explode. In the end, the woman clenched her teeth and sacrificed herself to save the king. Her left hand exploded into a pile of green paste, releasing all the magic power from her left hand. Only then did she manage to save her life.
Andesha snorted and glared at Mephisto. She had never suffered such a loss when she fought against the Great Mages of the Silver Union. The Mages were cautious, and their attacks were predictable, unlike Mephisto, who attacked as if he didn't care about his own life. A moment of carelessness would put her in a passive position.
"Hamill, how long are you going to wait, you bastard?" She finally couldn't help but roar, "Do you want to be a bystander so that you can reap the greatest benefits?!"
Hearing this, Mephisto was shocked. He didn't expect this woman to have helpers. Although he had gained a lot of benefits from the previous attack, that attack had gathered almost the entire power of the Grey Realm. Now, he was also unable to continue the attack and could not even gather the scattered elements.
He took a deep breath and looked around. He saw a man wearing a golden-red priest robe walk out from behind the smoke.
"Are you a cleric from the Holy Cathedral of Fire?" Mephisto frowned when he saw the man's attire.
At this time, Brando also saw the man's appearance. Cleric Amman had almost passed by them. Of course, even if he had passed through them, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. However, after Brando confirmed that this man was indeed the dead Amman, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Although this man did indeed look like Amman, his face was as pale as a sheet of wax, and his body was covered with black livor mortis. This was not what a living person should look like, but more like an undead.
In Brando's view, this was somewhat similar to an Undead Resurrection spell. This spell was one of Wohnde's famous witchcraft. It could turn a person into an undead at the moment of death, but to cast it, a part of the person's soul had to be separated and placed in a container.
Of course, this container could not be a jar or a box, but a living person without a soul. As for how a living person could become an empty container without a soul, this went without saying.
This forbidden spell was strictly forbidden by the Holy Cathedral, and only the necromancers of Madara and some cultists would study it.
Thus, Brando confirmed that Amman was definitely a spy the moment he saw him. However, his relationship with Andesha did not seem to be that of the Tree Herders. In fact, there were countless cultists in Wohnde, and the All for One and Tree Herders were just two of the more powerful ones.
Similar to the Silver Heavenly Snake and the Sheep-Head Cult, there were terrifying legends about them everywhere.
However, Brando could not help but squint when he saw the black ring on Amman's finger. It seemed that this guy did not intend to return to the Holy Cathedral after his death, so there was no need to hide his identity. The ring was the symbol of the All for One.
"It's really him, Cleric Amman!" Vahina whispered.
Brando nodded: "The All for One has really infiltrated the human world thoroughly."
Even though they were close, Amman did not hear the conversation between Brando and Vahina. He only smiled at Mephistopheles: "Good eyesight, but that was just this one's past identity."
"A dignified cleric of the Holy Cathedral is actually a cultist, the people of Cruz are really depraved." Mephistopheles glanced at Amman and said with some disdain.
"Count Mephisto, I don't agree with what you're saying. Priest Amman is just one of the rare examples. Besides, Priest Amman isn't from Kirrlutz. How can you generalize?"
A voice suddenly came from the other side of the fog.
Brando raised his eyebrows when he heard this voice. Veronica, why is she here? But what surprised him even more was that this Cruz Goddess of War seemed to be on the same side as Mephistopheles. How did they get together?
He thought that the Ash Sword Saint would never compromise with anyone from Cruz even if the world fell apart.
But before Veronica's voice died away, a green light flashed from the other side of the fog. At that time, Amman was about to attack the immobile Mephisto, but the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from the fog. Following that, a flock of green birds suddenly broke out of the fog, flapping their wings as they rushed towards him.
The birds seemed to be made of light, and their blue indigo colors were beautiful enough to take one's breath away. But Amman's expression changed when he saw them. These beautiful creatures were actually dangerous, and every feather on their body was sharper than a real longsword.
This was because they were made of Veronica's sword aura.
"Sky Wall!" Vahina couldn't help but shout when she saw these green birds: "It's Lady Veronica!"
Amman immediately retreated, and eight runes appeared one after another around him. Then, a hexagonal wall of light suddenly appeared in front of the green birds. The birds crashed into the wall one by one, causing ripples, but they all disappeared in the end.
Brando recognized this spell as one of the strongest defensive spells of the Holy Cathedral of Fire, Divine Shield. The effect of this spell was to block all attacks, but Amman's spell was obviously much weaker. It seemed that his compatibility with this type of spell had decreased a lot after turning into an undead.
Perhaps in a few days, Amman would completely lose these spells, but at least for now, he could still be considered a powerful cleric.
Amman took a step back and looked warily at the lady who came out from the fog. However, Brando looked at the longsword in Veronica's hand with a strange expression. If he wasn't wrong, that sword should be the Ash Sword's backup weapon, the Runic Sword Gunis.
Since when did the two of them have such a good relationship that they could even exchange backup weapons? Could it be that the Ash Sword Saint's hatred for Cruz's people was just a lie? Or did Veronica cast some kind of spell on him?
Brando looked at Veronica and couldn't help but think with a hint of malice. The Goddess of War of the Empire was over a hundred years old, but she looked like she was in her early thirties. She was still very attractive to Mephisto.
Although the Ash Sword Saint was younger, the difference in age wasn't that big. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Could it be that the Ash Sword Saint and the Goddess of War of the Empire had really fallen for each other? It wasn't impossible for them to forget about each other with a smile.
"Hey, Vahina," Brendel couldn't help but ask: "Why are they together? Did Lady Veronica use the legendary honey trap on Mephisto?"
"Don't, don't talk nonsense, Lady Veronica wouldn't do that!" Vahina looked at the scene with her mouth agape, and said with a little lack of confidence.
But even though Brando was spouting nonsense, he was still a little worried. He looked around, hoping that Scarlet didn't follow them. Unfortunately, he was disappointed because he soon saw the girl behind Veronica.
"Sigh, aren't you just causing trouble for me, Lady Veronica?" Brando sighed when he saw Scarlet.
"Let's go out and meet up with Lady Veronica." Vahina suggested softly.
Brando immediately grabbed her arm: "Wait, let's see what happens first."
"What's there to see? Your little lover is here, are you not going to stay?" Vahina looked at him from the corner of her eyes.
"Hey, aren't you a noble's daughter? How can you say something like that?" Brando couldn't help but cough: "Besides, are you stupid? We're in the dark while the enemy is out in the open. Why do you have to go out and let them be on guard?"
Vahina was stunned. She didn't expect Brando to come up with such an idea. She blushed: "Of course not, it's just that I'm not as despicable as you, always thinking about sneak attacks. Are you a noble or not?"
"Aren't backstabbing, poisoning, and assassination your Kirrlutz nobles' specialties? It seems like what I'm doing is in line with your values, right?" Brendel replied.
Vahina was speechless. She turned around and glared at him with gritted teeth. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
