Thaas was, without a doubt, a powerhouse. With his rich combat experience, he could tell that Baiyi was a spellcaster at first glance. That was why he did not choose to compete with Baiyi in terms of sorcery. Instead, he chose to strike first, using his superior speed and strength to suppress Baiyi. He did not use any fancy tricks, nor did he give Baiyi the chance to cast any powerful spells. Thaas had the upper hand in the battle.
Although this tactic was crude and crude, it was the most effective way to defeat a sorcerer. There was no better tactic than preventing a sorcerer from casting spells.
However, Thaas had miscalculated. Baiyi was not a pure sorcerer. His special physique allowed him to match Thaas's speed and strength. The only problem was that he was limited by his output, which made him look like he was on the losing end.
Actually, Thaas's disadvantage was only on the surface. After a few more exchanges, he heard the faint sound of bones cracking. Thaas's body was not as good as it used to be. After all, it was still a human's body. Even if it had been enhanced, its quality and strength could not keep up with this kind of high-intensity battle.
How could a mortal's body compete with a body made of Void Energy?
Thaas knew this very well. After another round of exchanges, he took the initiative to put some distance between himself and Baiyi. He looked down at the black flames burning on his shield and said to Baiyi, "This power is interesting. It's as powerful as my Abyssal Energy, maybe even more powerful. It's a shame that your power is too weak. Most of it was wasted on this strange body of yours."
It sounded like he was talking nonsense, but in reality, he was using his Abyssal Energy to repair the damaged parts of his body. The damage he had sustained was more serious than Baiyi had expected.
"I'm very interested in this power. That's why I'm going to destroy your body and interrogate your soul!" Thaas said sternly. He wisely chose not to engage in a melee with Baiyi. Instead, a few demonic runes appeared behind him. He was planning to engage Baiyi in a long-range battle. He wanted to suppress Baiyi with his superior physical strength.
"Die!" Thaas bellowed, and a green torrent of energy shot out from his mouth, heading straight for Baiyi.
This was a breath that most demons could use. However, the effect of using Abyssal power was far stronger than Evil Power. The ground that was swept by this breath instantly turned a rotten grayish-black color.
Tsk, this guy is quite a cunning one … Baiyi cursed inwardly as he used the Spatial Teleportation Technique to evade the attack. At the same time, a few black formations appeared behind him and shot out a few black rays at high speed towards Thaas.
This was Void Ray. Unlike ordinary ray spells, which simply shot out rays of light, Void Power was continuously compressed together until it condensed into an extremely thin ray. This was equivalent to concentrating an attack on a tiny spot, giving up on killing area in exchange for unparalleled penetrative power.
At first, Baiyi had thought that this move was useless. Void Energy was already strong enough, and regular attacks were enough to deal with most situations. Why would there be a need for enhanced penetration? It was just that he didn't expect this move to come in handy.
"Argh! Argh! Argh! "Thaas let out a heart-wrenching scream when he was hit by the ray. The extremely penetrative Void Ray was like a needle poking through a piece of paper. It easily pierced through Thaas's shield, and it even pierced through his body. Then, it pierced through the shield behind him and sank into the ground, leaving behind a small hole the size of a pinky finger.
"You shameless insect repellent! Pathetic mortals! How dare you hurt my body! I want you to pay the heaviest price! I want your soul to be burned by the evil flames of the abyss! I want you to experience the cruelest pain for all eternity! "Thaas covered one of his eyes and screamed in anger and pain.
It turned out that one of the rays had accurately pierced through his eye.
The Abyss Lord's voice was so loud that even the students could hear it. Many of them shuddered involuntarily when they heard the roar.
Only Mia remained calm. To be exact, she was no longer in the mood to listen to what the others were saying. Although the Void Ray had caused significant damage to Thaas, it was still a huge burden on her. It was not a simple, low-energy move. She was sweating profusely, and blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth. She was barely holding on by sheer willpower.
The hammerhead shark plushie floating beside her was also anxious, but even with the presence of the Sage-Emperor of the Magi, what could he do? He could not directly replenish Mia's Psychic Energy, so the only thing he could do was wipe the sweat off her forehead with his fins.
However, when it rains, it pours. Just as the Abyss Lord roared, all the demons in the city felt its rage and chaos. Before this, the demons had restrained themselves and were busy gathering to attack the city lord's mansion, the church, the teleportation node, and other important areas. They were also rushing to the academy and had no interest in the worthless commoners. However, now that they were affected by Thaas, they immediately began to attack everything around them in a frenzy.
In a flash, Arfin City had turned into a living hell. It was as if the entire city had been set ablaze, and the cries of women and children could be heard everywhere. It was as if a sea of fire had descended upon the city.
A large group of demons pounced on the students.
"Prepare for battle! Destroy them! "the Dean shouted as he led the Academy's defense forces forward to meet the demons.
Laeticia, who had been standing by Mia's side, saw the frown on Mia's face and thought that she was worried about her own safety. "Don't worry. I'll protect you and everyone else!" Laeticia said softly.
Although Laeticia's words did not hit the nail on the head, it still warmed Mia's heart. Being able to meet a like-minded person in a situation like this was quite a fortunate thing, wasn't it?
If it's possible, why don't we become friends? Mia watched as Laeticia walked towards the group of demons with her spear in hand, and a very natural thought came to her mind.
Laeticia, on the other hand, looked at the students who were fighting with the demons, and her heart was filled with sorrow. She closed her eyes and held the spear upright in front of her. In a low voice, she began to chant the prayer that Baiyi had taught her.
"I walk alone in the land where the light cannot shine, where God cannot bless, where evil spreads …"
As she chanted, a few students had already fallen under the demons' blades. One of them had his arm severed from the shoulder, and he was wailing in agony as he held his severed arm.
"Help me! Someone, help me! " The student's scream pierced Laeticia's eardrums, causing her to frown slightly. This scene was very similar to what Saint Joel had experienced in the past.
This kind of extinction gave her a deep understanding of Saint Joel's state of mind at that time. Still, she did not open her eyes and continued to chant the prayer.
"There should be light in this land, there should be sacrifice, there should be redemption …"
"Hold on! Hold on! What about the magic students? Even the juniors, get them! Get rid of the spellcasters first! "the Dean shouted.
Even the junior students were forced to participate in the battle. Even Laeticia, who had her eyes closed, could feel the urgency of the situation. However, she still kept her eyes closed, and while she was in pain, she continued to chant softly, "I walk alone in the land that God has forgotten, to witness darkness, filth, and evil, to find the one who deserves salvation …
"Sharkie, look after Mia! I'm going to help!" Tisdale's voice drifted into Laeticia's ears. She had placed Mia's safety in the hands of a plushie.
At the same time, a loud noise came from afar. On the surface, Mr. Hope was still engaged in a fierce battle with the biggest demon. He needed help, at least someone to help him.
She had finally reached the last part of her prayer.
"May I take the place of my Lord's duty, become the light of my Lord, and bring justice and redemption to this land …"
Then, she opened her eyes. Her gaze was filled with determination and unyielding, exactly the same as the Saint she had met many years ago. She raised the spear in her hand high, just like the Cleric Walker did when he raised the scripture. The two figures separated by thousands of years seemed to overlap at that moment. Laeticia chanted the last sentence of the prayer together.
"My Lord is here!"
A bright beam of light suddenly pierced through the dark clouds and dark smoke, shining on Laeticia's body, and a pair of crystal wings made entirely of light appeared on her back.
It was the symbol of an angel, the representative of God.
For a moment, almost everyone's eyes were drawn to the pillar of light. Priest Weasel, who was busy casting healing spells in the church, had to put down the wounded and look towards the pillar of light. "Is … is this the descent of an angel?" he exclaimed. "Is this the descent of an angel? My Lord has heard our call? "
His head was wrapped in bandages, and there were traces of blood seeping from the edges. It was obvious that he was too busy to care about himself, but at that moment, he clutched the scripture necklace in front of his chest and prayed softly.
The students were even more excited. They noticed the beautiful and holy Laeticia, and they knew what the pair of wings behind her meant. Suddenly, a loud cheer broke out, and the demons staggered back a few steps.
Even Baiyi and Thaas stopped fighting and stared at the pillar of light.
"It looks like the Cleric Walker has found his successor …" Baiyi sighed, his voice devoid of emotion.
On the other hand, the Abyss Lord's face darkened. He cursed under his breath, "That damned Cleric Walker … I should've crushed his soul to dust long ago …"
