The last bit of light from the setting sun slowly disappeared, and the land darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Night soon enveloped the land. In the middle of a messy forest, there was a huge tomb-like object. It was made up of large trees and huge vines. At this moment, the intertwining vines and trees slowly turned black, like charcoal that had been burned by fire.
At this moment, a flame the size of an apple floated in front of Lilith. She stared at this behemoth with a serious expression on her face. The four of them were already prepared for battle. Demon King Oro was about to break out of his seal.
Rinchad, who was holding Mirror of Transmogrification, pointed his sword at the ground to his right. Perhaps it was an illusion, but Lilith seemed to see faint spots of light gathering on the sword. At the same time, his body seemed to be hazy, as if it was fake.
Lilith blinked. Perhaps her eyes were hazy. She pulled herself together and looked up at the sky.
Oro was a peasant born in a village. He was not like Lilith and the others. They either had status, talent, or luck. He did not have any of those. He was the only one who had climbed up from the bottom. No one knew how much effort he had put in.
Rinchad, who was kneeling on the city wall, Oro, who had a ferocious look on his face, and the demon army that was approaching the city, accompanied by countless terrifying explosions.
"You don't understand! Even if we are companions, we are not the same! Lilith, you are a noble. Just your status alone is beyond my reach! I admit that I like you, but I know that I am not worthy of you. Why? No matter how hard I work, I am only the son of a farmer! You only treat me as a servant and keep ordering me around! "
The crazy Oro pointed at Lilith. She had never thought that Oro would view her this way. She had never thought of it this way. As a captain, she thought that a captain should be impartial and be able to make full use of the talents of the team members.
However, she had ignored their feelings.
"He can devour magic. A war of attrition is not good for us. Plus, I might not be of much use …"
Lilith asked worriedly.
"No, it's all up to you. He can't defend himself while absorbing Mana. He can only absorb Mana to replenish his energy. If we keep attacking, he won't be able to absorb any more Mana," Lynchad said calmly.
"Furthermore, its regenerative ability is so strong, which means that its physical strength isn't high. It can't defend against your flames, so it can be said that your flames are very effective against it. This has already been verified. The only problem now is whether you can burn it to death before your flames run out. Otherwise, it will still escape like last time. "
To be able to make such a calm analysis in such a situation, he was indeed very scary, but also very reliable.
As the terrible magic power became more and more intense, Lilith's back became colder and colder. She could hardly think normally, and most of her energy was used to resist the fear. The effects of the previous battle were still troubling her.
"That's why we will weaken him. If you find an opportunity, use the Flames of Truth to destroy him. Don't worry about me."
"Guys, Rinchard and I will hold it down at close range."
He looked at Lilith with a rare smile. "If you don't want me to hate you for the rest of your life, then don't hesitate."
Greer, the oldest member of the team, was more than ten years older than Lilith. Ever since he was assigned to the first team, he had always been at odds with Lilith, who was the captain. Although he often said some unpleasant things, most of the time, his experience and insights could be of help to her.
"It's worth it if we can burn you to death. I've always wanted a younger member so that I don't have to deal with a stubbly uncle like you all the time."
Lilith lowered her head as she spoke. She didn't believe what she had just said.
However, Greer didn't say anything. Dodoro didn't say anything either. The fact that she was here was already surprising enough. No one expected this unreliable member to die with them. Speaking of which, Dodoro was probably the weirdest person in the team.
"Here it comes!"
Lynchard's eyes narrowed.
"Argh!"
With a terrifying roar, the ground began to tremble. With the cracking of the trees, the seal was completely broken, and the sealed Oro unleashed terrifying flames that spread out in all directions.
"Ignite!"
Lilith's staff glowed. The apple-shaped flame in front of her suddenly flew in front of everyone. When the sea of fire reached them, it absorbed the surrounding flames and saved everyone from being burned.
"I'm free! Argh! Everyone must die! "
He held the Blazing Greatsword in his hand and swung it down at everyone. Suddenly, the ground cracked, and a terrifying energy burst out from the cracks, forming surging heatwaves.
"Go!"
Rinchad shouted and split up with Greer. Dodoro instantly drew his bow and shot a few arrows at Oro's location. The arrows pierced through the layer of fire with ear-piercing sonic booms.
With a rumbling sound, a tornado suddenly appeared, and at the same time, several bolts of lightning appeared.
Lynchard rushed to the center of the tornado and cut open a gap with his sword. Oro, whose vision was blocked by the tornado, didn't have time to react before the sword pierced through his chest. He immediately tried to grab the sword, but Lynchard had already pulled it out. He circled around Oro with the help of the wind and performed a set of Imperial Wind Swordplay. No one could see his sword clearly. They couldn't even see his figure. All they could see was a few sharp leaves in the wind. Countless wounds appeared on Oro's body in the blink of an eye.
"Argh!"
Oro screamed and used his greatsword to block, but it was useless.
Suddenly, a sword flashed and landed on his neck. However, two eyes suddenly opened at the back of his head. At the same time, a terrifying black light burst out.
With a loud boom, a gust of wind spread in all directions. The surroundings calmed down.
He didn't see Lynchard, which meant that his attack didn't hit.
Oro then realized that his body was full of swords. His body was bleeding like lava.
Suddenly, a figure appeared above him.
"Bear Fall!"
The white figure of a bear emerged from Grier's body. The short sword in his hand turned into a sharp claw and slashed at Oro.
With a boom, Oro felt the world spin. His head was twisted around, but it didn't break. His entire body sank into the ground, creating a crater.
However, he used both hands to support himself with his greatsword. A black hand emerged from his body and grabbed at Grier. However, Grier used the force of that attack to jump out. Suddenly, there were two whooshing sounds as two red arrows pierced through Oro's body.
* Boom! *
The arrows exploded, and half of Oro's body was blown up.
"Damn it!"
Oro roared. He clearly had the strength to kill them, but he was being suppressed by them. This made him very angry.
The scattered pieces of flesh suddenly turned into red blood clots and returned to his damaged body. He instantly recovered and tried to stand up.
However, he realized that the joints of his legs were stuck by Lynchard's sword. Just as his attention was focused on his legs, two shadows flashed past him, one on the left and one on the right. Then, he saw his own blood splattering in the air.
"Ah!"
Oro roared, and the power in his body erupted, creating a circular spiral of explosion. The black magic power continued to revolve, and everything it touched was reduced to dust.
Dodoro's arrow hit the ball and disappeared without a trace.
With a loud rumble, the ground under everyone's feet suddenly flew up. Countless stones were controlled by a strange force and started to spin in the air, creating a deadly flow of rocks.
Dodoro disappeared in a flash. Lilith used a magic barrier to protect herself. Grier put his hands in front of him. White smoke rose from his body and blocked the attack. Lynchard stepped on the stones in the air and kept jumping to avoid all the rocks. He quickly approached the black ball.
"Snow Sweeping!"
He swung his sword, and Place of the Transmogrification turned into countless snowflakes. The world turned white for a moment. In the next moment, the black ball was like a candle that was blown out by a gust of wind. Oro's inhuman body appeared in front of Lynchard. He was in the midst of transforming, wanting to fight in his true form.
However, Lynchard stopped him. His body was now swollen. His lower body was that of a dragon, but his upper body was still that of a human. However, his body was filled with disgusting chunks of flesh. It was very ugly. He looked neither human nor ghost.
He did not expect to be interrupted. Lynchard did not hesitate to stab his sword into his throat. However, this time, Oro already had a countermeasure. The black tumor on his body suddenly exploded. A large amount of magic was concentrated inside, and it turned into a black shockwave that struck Lynchard.
* Boom! *
A black line streaked across the pitch-black forest, instantly cutting the forest into two halves.
"Lynchard!"
Lilith's eyes widened. The staff in her hand was glowing red.
"I'm fine. Be careful of the black tumor on his body!"
A sword flew out, and Lynchad suddenly appeared behind the fallen sword. Lilith didn't know how he managed to escape.
"Dodoro!"
"Got it, mister."
At this moment, Dodoro pressed his hands on the ground. The ground suddenly trembled. Huge roots were uprooted from the cracks in the ground. The roots rushed toward Oro from all directions as if they were trying to surround him.
"You want to catch me with this?"
Oro snorted. He waved his hand and burned the roots to ashes. However, a figure suddenly appeared in the flames.
"Wake up!"
Grier's voice rang out as he suddenly punched out with his left hand. In the flames, his glove was reduced to ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye. What was underneath the glove wasn't human skin, but red-hot iron.
"Bang!"
He punched Oro's face. Of course, Oro would not be knocked down.
However, the moment he hit Oro, ancient runes appeared on his iron hand. Just like Lilith's magic, the flames around him were quickly absorbed by his hand.
"Don't tell me!"
Lilith and Rinchad thought of something. When Greer was making a prosthetic limb, he had made a request to engrave magic runes that could absorb magic power and energy on it.
However, the runes did not differentiate between friend and foe. In other words, once activated, the runes would absorb all the mana around them. Without mana to protect his body, Greer would be instantly injured by the high temperature. He might even die.
Lynchard raised his sword and was about to charge forward when Greer suddenly shouted, "Don't come here! This is between me and him! "
At this moment, Greer stabbed his sword into Oro's forehead. In an instant, the gravity around them changed, and the two fell to the ground like kites.
Greer kept his left hand on Oro's throat and his right hand on the hilt as they fell.
Bang!
Oro, whose mana was being sucked away, tried to use a stronger suction force to pull back his mana. However, the sudden gravity made him unable to move.
"Now!"
Greer roared just as a layer of black faded from Oro's body.
At that moment, Lilith held her breath. She had already prepared her strongest magic, but now she was unable to move. Time became extremely slow. In the midst of countless rocks and dust, she looked at the two people who had fallen to the ground.
Thinking back, it seemed that they were the only ones in the world who could stand her temper. Before meeting them, Lilith had formed several teams, but in the end, they all parted on bad terms. On the contrary, he had followed these annoying fellows all the way to the present.
And now, she had to leave?
Lilith's heart ached. Lynchard calmly turned his head. He showed an understanding expression but did not say anything.
Don't make me hate you forever!
Suddenly, Greer's voice sounded in Lilith's mind.
Lilith's hair suddenly glowed. Her mana burst out. The staff in her hand seemed to sense her emotions. A red light flashed and instantly pierced through the sky.
The air froze for a moment. There seemed to be no moisture in the surroundings. The next moment, flames suddenly appeared on Greer's body. His figure disappeared in the terrifying light in the blink of an eye.
"Ah!"
A distorted shadow appeared. Oro was struggling in the Flames of Truth. The magic he had absorbed had turned into fuel for the flames, constantly burning. He wanted to grow wings and fly away from this place, but his wings were instantly incinerated. He wanted to burrow underground, but the flames followed him underground and burned through the surroundings. He wanted to split himself up in an attempt to escape.
However, the pieces of flesh he had split out were all burned by the flames. The only way was to constantly heal himself and resist the burning of the flames. However, when he tried to absorb Greer's mana, the flames burned through his wounds and into his body.
The raging flames made a whistling sound and rushed to the sky.
The flames burned both inside and outside his body. The three of them watched as the moving flames slowly burned into ashes.
Oro's screams were especially tragic.
Lilith slumped to the ground. Amidst the flames, she saw Greer turn his head, smile, and say two words to her.
Goodbye …
