In the chaos, not many people noticed how many hits Y 'zaks received. Everyone's attention was focused on the Shades of Chaos that kept pouring out of the hall. The black shadows that surged on the ground like mud were endless. No matter how many Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet killed, the Shades of Chaos kept coming out of the hall. The only thing to be thankful for was that these things had no intelligence. They would only rush to their target through the shortest path. So the path from the hall entrance to the demon hunters' line of defense was the only place that needed to be blocked.
Since they were out in the open, Hao Ren no longer had to worry about accidental damage from the psionic weapons. He pulled out his gun and joined the battle. Bright blue beams of light pierced through the air and exploded in the small square in front of the family hall. The Shades of Chaos wriggling on the ground turned into crystal dust in an instant under the illumination of the psionic beams. For a moment, Hao Ren's killing efficiency even surpassed that of Y 'zaks and the little demon.
Psionic energy ignored all attributes and defensive means of the target. It could cause real damage to everything in the world, whether it was described or indescribable. It was a powerful force regarded as the power of God. Even if it was just a small-scale firepower in the hands of an inspector, this attribute would not change. Although the nature of the Shades of Chaos was strange, it seemed that their strangeness was far from enough to resist the suppression of the psionic energy itself.
The only problem was that there were too many of them, and the attack range of Hao Ren's gun was limited. The Shades of Chaos surged out of the door like disgusting mud and kept pushing forward against the bombardment of Hao Ren and Y 'lisabet. Finally, they slowly came into contact with the Sacred Flame line of defense set up by the demon hunters.
With a strange pungent smell, the barrier of Sacred Flame burned even more fiercely and began to fight directly against the Shades of Chaos.
Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet also retreated to the edge of the line of defense. Although the demon's will was exceptionally strong and could temporarily resist the mental erosion of the Shades of Chaos, the two of them did not dare to be too careless. They tried to avoid direct contact with the Shades of Chaos and retreated as they fought.
After Y 'zaks and Y' lisabet retreated to the edge of the line of defense, Vivian also joined the battle. Her eyes were gradually filled with a layer of blood, and the cold and gloomy power surrounded her like a storm. Lifted by the cyclone, Vivian slowly rose into the air, and a large swarm of dark bats emerged around her. These little bats were different from the physical creatures that she usually summoned. They looked like chaotic air masses, an energy body made of cold ashes and darkness. The inside of these translucent bats flickered with flames as they swooped into the tide of Shades of Chaos, assimilating and devouring the shadows, turning them into a part of themselves.
The dark ash bats and the sacred flame of the demon hunters intertwined, forming a weird scene of black and white. While controlling the bats, Vivian turned to Hasse and asked, "When will the ritual be over?"
"Just a few more minutes!" Hasse replied in a loud voice. He then looked at Vivian's bats flying in the Sacred Flame. The Sacred Flame was no longer the protective path that they used when they retreated. To fight against the Shades of Chaos, it was now full of violent, destructive power. "Your Shadowy power doesn't conflict with the Sacred Flame?"
"When did I have a conflict with this thing?" Vivian was baffled by the question. "I'm still carrying crosses all over my body!"
"That's not what I meant …" Hasse had a hunch that something was wrong, but a sudden exclamation interrupted him.
At the edge of the line of defense, a young-looking demon hunter suddenly screamed, "I've been —"
The scream stopped abruptly. Hao Ren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gap in front of a demon hunter who was responsible for maintaining the Sacred Flame barrier. The shadow under his feet was shaking as if it had come to life. The demon hunter's windbreaker glowed in various colors. Although White Flame immediately helped to fill the gap in the line of defense from a distance, it was clear that the Shades of Chaos had taken control of the demon hunter.
The demon hunter resisted for a while, but because he had consumed too much energy to maintain the Sacred Flame barrier, the Shades of Chaos had taken advantage of him. After a few seconds of trembling, he suddenly turned his head to look at his closest companion. There was no longer any rationality or black and white boundaries in his eyes. There was only a chaotic, swirling mass of air that resembled smoke.
The demon hunter pulled out his sacred silver dagger and pounced on his teammate like a cheetah. Chaos broke out around him.
"Hey, this is what I'm afraid of," Hesperides said. She took out a huge mace inlaid with blades and steel nails out of nowhere. Her body was burning with a burning flame as she rushed toward the demon hunter who had lost control. "The rest of you continue to maintain the line of defense. I'll deal with this guy!"
At this moment, the quiet temperament of the nymph of the evening was gone.
Hasse could not help but shiver when he saw Hesperides rushing toward the demon hunter with the mace in her hand. He looked at Vivian in shock. "Didn't you say that her personality has recovered?"
"Her personality has recovered, but her fighting style is completely different," Vivian explained a little awkwardly. "After you shot her in the head with an arrow, she transformed her Scepter of the Evening into this mace. After she recovered her personality, she couldn't find another suitable weapon, so she simply continued to practice the mace technique."
Hasse was dumbfounded as he watched Hesperides swinging a huge mace at someone not far away. He vaguely remembered the first time he met Hesperides in Olympus thousands of years ago. At that time, she was just a timid and not good at fighting, running away with others with a huge staff in her arms. But now, she had become like this. The old demon hunter could not help but shiver again. "What a sin …"
Although the demon hunter who had fallen into a frenzy was successfully ambushed by the shadow, his strength was extraordinary. Moreover, after losing his mind, he seemed to have a tendency to surge in combat power. He managed to block Hesperides's attack and even gradually became a stalemate.
Hesperides's body was as dazzling as the sun, and even the ground began to soften under her twilight. But the demon hunter who was in a stalemate with Hesperides did not feel it at all. He used short-range teleportation to keep a distance from Hesperides and continued to use crossbow bolts and rune spells to wear down Hesperides's patience and physical strength. Vivian was a little impatient. After dispatching a large group of bats to deal with the Shades of Chaos, she rushed to Hesperides's side. "I'll help!"
"Find a way to hold him back!" Hesperides shouted. "This bastard's teleportation ability is too shameless!"
Without saying a word, Vivian exploded into a large swarm of bats. Each bat's mouth was flashing with dazzling electric light. They were like dark clouds pouncing on the demon hunter who had lost control of himself. The demon hunter instinctively wanted to teleport, but Vivian had already expected it. Suddenly, the bats let out a sharp and ear-piercing screech, which interrupted the demon hunter's skill. Then, there was a burst of electric light, and the scene was shrouded in white light.
As the electric light faded, the swarm of bats regrouped, but the demon hunter was frozen in place. The electric shock had rendered him immobile for a while.
Upon seeing this, Hesperides immediately strode forward with her mace, ready to knock him out first.
But before she could do anything, she saw the demon hunter's eyes flashed and came back to life.
The berserk state had been inexplicably lifted.
At the same time, the joint exorcism ritual of the other demon hunters was finally coming to an end. With a solemn sound, all the demon hunter spellcasters burst into a bright light, and the runes above the family hall suddenly crashed down. A pillar of light shrouded the entire building. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be occupied by this white light.
As the white light gradually dissipated, Hao Ren found that the family hall was still intact, but the Shades of Chaos that kept pouring out of the door had disappeared.
It seemed that the demon hunters were quite clever. At least when it came to dealing with various negative things, these professional exorcists were better than ordinary otherworldlings.
