Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 280 Kha'Zix Fights Three Against One, the Path of Symbiosis Continues

When Brook led the Void Mage Corps to the outskirts of the Alps.

What came into their view was a scorched earth that had been completely torn apart and trampled!

The fortified pass, meticulously constructed by the Holy City and reinforced by Norsi, has now been completely breached.

The shattered magical barrier was filled with the pungent stench of blood and the remnants of void energy.

As far as the eye could see, there were almost no living Holy Judgment Mages to be seen! Only the mutilated corpses scattered everywhere, their faces distorted beyond recognition by frost and purple energy, silently telling the story of the massacre that had just taken place.

Worse still, there were countless distorted demons with eerie purple light flashing in their eyes—snow wolves, ice lizards, frost vultures, and even some mutated species that had been completely transformed by the void and had grown extra limbs or shells.

It was pouring out continuously from the gaps in the broken defenses, sweeping towards the plains and towns inhabited by humans beyond the mountains!

"The defenses... have completely collapsed!"

Brooke's cold gaze swept over the out-of-control scene of calamity.

When preparing to intercept the beast tide—

A cold, sharp, and murderous gaze suddenly locked onto him from above, as well as the other two Archangels beside him—Rafael and Midaren!

Brooke suddenly looked up!
Above the group, beneath a leaden cloud that appeared exceptionally dark due to the turbulent energy flow, a figure covered in a dark purple biological carapace floated silently!

Kha'Zix, the Voidreaver!

It did not leave with the beast tide, but stayed here to wait for new and more powerful prey!
"Watch out!" They could clearly sense Kha'Zix's threat!
However, before the warning had even faded, Kha'Zix made his move!
It vanished instantly, leaving only a tiny ripple in the air!

"Up there!" Midalon reacted extremely quickly, unleashing a dense barrage of holy light arrows towards the top of Brook's head!

But Kha'Zix's target isn't Brook!

"laugh--!"

A ghostly, dark purple streak of light flashed past Lafayette's side!
With a "pop," it shattered!
He only felt a cool touch on the side of his neck!

A smooth, mirror-like purplish-black line rapidly expanded, and warm blood gushed out like a fountain!

Kha'Zix severely injured one of the Druids of the Claw in a single exchange!

"Lafayette!!" Midalen's eyes widened in horror!

Kha'Zix appeared hundreds of meters away as if by teleportation, the golden blood on his scythe-like forelimbs being rapidly absorbed by his carapace.

The compound eyes were cold and expressionless!

They quickly turned towards Midalen, who was momentarily stunned by the tragic death of his companion and whose attack had paused!
"Midalon! Defense!!" Brook roared, thrusting his hands forward with tremendous force, unleashing a golden energy shockwave towards Kha'Zix!

Kha'Zix's figure blurred again!

Brook's attack only hit the afterimage it left behind!

The next moment!
Midalen felt a chilling tearing sensation coming from the space behind him!

He tried to turn around and defend, but Kha'Zix's speed exceeded the limits of his reflexes!
He only had time to gather the holy light on his back—

“Pfft——!!!”

The cold, sharp blade pierced through the hastily gathered holy light, then easily pierced the angelic armor on his back, emerging from his chest!

On the tip of the knife, there was also a heart belonging to the Angel of Virtue, which had been rapidly eroded by purplish-black energy and stopped beating!
The light in Midalen's eyes quickly dimmed.

Kha'Zix coldly withdrew his scythe, letting the heartless body fall from the sky.

In the blink of an eye! One of the two powerful Archangels was killed and the other wounded.

However, these two attacks also consumed most of Kha'Zix's power, as he was originally a shadow assassin.

Only Brook remained, confronting him.
-
The battlefield below.

"Intercept the beast tide! Stop them from spreading!"

"Yes!"

Dozens of Void Mages, dressed in dark purple circuit combat suits, scattered like arrows released from a bow!

Twisted void rays and energy chains roared out, precisely striking the berserk demons that were trying to break through the defenses!
"Roar!"

"His!"

The struck demon let out a painful roar; the void energy was also highly lethal to its own kind!

The arrival of the Void Mage Corps temporarily halted the most ferocious momentum of the beast tide.

However, just as the Void Mages were doing their best to intercept them, a sudden change occurred!

A Void Mage is aiming an energy emitter at a Frost Vulture whose eyes are flashing with a violent purple light as it tries to break through the blockade.

The Void Symbiote within him instinctively channeled its power, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

suddenly!

He felt the symbiotic void worms within his body becoming restless!
It wasn't resistance to his orders, but rather a strange, indescribable...excitement and longing?!
At the same time, the frost vulture he had locked onto had its eyes flash with a violent purple light that complemented his!

Immediately, a faint mental signal carrying a specific frequency emanated from Frost Vulture's body and actively transmitted to the Void Mage!

This signal isn't an attack; it's more like a... greeting?
"What's going on?!" Alarm bells rang in the mind of the Void Mage!
He tried to suppress the restlessness of the symbiote within him, but the instinctive sense of resonance grew stronger and stronger!

The frost vulture, instead of charging the defensive line, flapped its wings and slowly landed not far from him.

The enormous purple eyes stared at him intently, their gaze filled with...anticipation?!

This bizarre scene is not an isolated case!
On the battlefield, more and more Void Mages were horrified to discover that when they approached those demons that had been modified or parasitized by Void power, the symbiotic Void Worms within their bodies would resonate and become excited to varying degrees!
The savagery they once saw has faded, replaced by curiosity and a sense of closeness?!

They approached actively, emitting low hisses, as if expressing some kind of desire—they also wanted to...integrate!
"Lord Brook! Something's wrong! They...they didn't attack us! Instead..." a squad leader hissed as he reported to Brook, who was engaged in fierce combat in the air, his voice filled with panic.

But he hadn't finished speaking!

A mind-blowing scene has unfolded!

A snow leopard, the closest to a Void Mage and deeply corrupted by Void power, suddenly shone with a brilliant purple light in its eyes!

Its entire body resembled a burning purple torch!
Then, the snow leopard's body began to...dissolve?!

No, it's not dissolving! It's transforming!

Its flesh, bones, and fur rapidly decomposed and collapsed in the purple light, transforming into a pure void energy.

He suddenly lunged at the stunned Void Mage!

"what--!!!"

The monk let out a piercing scream!
He tried to resist, but the purple fluid ignored his defensive magic and instantly entered his body!

"Uh...uhhh!!!"
