Chapter 87 Anya is Injured (Fifth Update, Seeking First Subscription!)

Thin arcs of electricity flew from Lorraine's fingertips, swiftly cutting through the air and catching up with the ghoul, binding it tightly.

Lorraine's Lightning Pull

"Aww—"

'

The ghoul swung its claw at Eileen unwillingly, then was dragged backwards towards Lorraine.

"boom!

'

"Take this combo!"

At the instant the lightning bolt exploded, Lorraine simultaneously released the [Thunder Wave] that had been accumulating for a long time.

The ghoul, which had just been blasted away by the lightning, let out a wail and was pulled back by an invisible force.

"boom!

""

A deafening thunderclap exploded in the reservoir, the echoing sound almost filling the entire space, and the shockwave, carrying lightning, slammed into the ghoul.

To Eileen and Anya's astonishment, it was flung into the air like a rag doll, tumbled twice, and then crashed heavily onto the stone slabs surrounding the reservoir.

Lorraine gasped for breath; the continuous casting of spells had taken a heavy toll. He shook his wrist, which was numb from the shock, and found that the ghoul was lying motionless on the spot.

"Dead? That easy?" he asked in surprise.

"Even that goblin bear, if hit by so many spells at once, probably wouldn't be able to get up."

Eileen raised an eyebrow and said.

If she wasn't mistaken, this guy actually unleashed two first-level spells in quick succession.

Although the spell's effect was somewhat strange, it was an instant cast without a staff; she hadn't even seen him chant the incantation.

Is this guy a natural talent sorcerer or a bloodline sorcerer?

Could it be that he possesses the bloodline of some kind of magical creature, a bloodline that grants the ability to cast instant spells, but at the cost of having rather strange spell effects?

Eileen was completely baffled.

"Be careful, ghouls are undead creatures, and they're not necessarily easy to eliminate."

Anya cautiously stepped forward, glanced at the ghoul lying motionless on the ground with its back to her, and said, "Divine magic is very effective against it. I'm trying to purify it to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Having said that, Anya raised the triangular shield in her hand and struck it on its back, chanting loudly, "Radiant Light!"

A burst of intense light erupted, enveloping the ghoul's entire body and emitting a pungent stench.

A sudden change occurred.

Despite being hit by so many spells and attacks, the ghoul was still alive, and the translucent crystals quickly spread across its back.

"Aww—"

It let out a painful roar, and its bone claws snapped backward at a strange angle, sweeping backward.

Although Anya was startled by the sudden attack of the ghoul, she remained calm and deliberately bumped the bone claw with her shoulder.

Suddenly, a layer of light shone from her right shoulder armor, forming a small, semi-transparent circular shield that blocked the attack.

The ghoul's bone claws were deflected by the shield and couldn't be retracted in time, making this a perfect opportunity to counterattack.

"Purify!"

She sang a chant, gripped the hammer tightly, and prepared to smash it down.

But just then...

The ghoul instantly twisted its head behind it and, with a speed that would be impossible under normal circumstances, bit Anya's right arm.

It shook its head wildly, tearing at her arm armor, before forcefully flinging her away.

"ah..."

Anya let out a sharp cry of pain and then flew towards the wall of the reservoir.

I want to be with you forever!

Fortunately, Lorraine reacted quickly and used the Oath of the Bones to shield her from the impact of the blow that slammed into the wall.

Anya slowly slid down against the wall and sat down.

Her right shoulder armor was riddled with tiny scratches, and her unprotected arm, located between the shoulder armor and the gauntlet, was bleeding profusely. The hammer had also rolled from her hand to the ground.

Anya!

"Eileen cried out in despair."

"Die!"

Looking at her friend, whose fate was unknown, an overwhelming anger surged within her. Following her instincts, she raised her staff and uttered the incantation she had been repeatedly reciting: "Agni Bāna!"

The second-circle spell model, which used to seem obscure and difficult to understand, was now constructed almost in the blink of an eye.

[Burning rays]

Three dazzling beams of fire shot out from the tip of the staff, instantly piercing the ghoul's throat, chest, and left arm like lasers.

The ghoul's howl stopped abruptly.

The scorching rays penetrated the thin crystalline shell covering its body and burst out from its back.

Its left arm was severed cleanly at the joint and fell to the ground. Its neck was also cut open, with its head hanging sideways on its shoulder, barely hanging on by a thin layer of skin.

"Heh...heh..."

Eileen stumbled unsteadily; the cost of a second-circle spell far exceeded her expectations.

The magical power used to construct this scorching ray almost exceeded the total of the previous spells combined.

Even with the staff's blessing, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out.

He should be dead by now...

She mustered her strength and looked at the ghoul.

The ghoul was clearly badly injured, but the black liquid gushing from its wounds came into contact with the spreading crystals.

The crystals were growing into the wound at a visible speed.

It twitched.

Then he took another step toward Eileen.

These things all happened in the blink of an eye.

Lorraine was about to rush to Anya's side to use [Fur Sensing] to check her life status, but Eileen was clearly unable to stop the monster now.

"Eileen! I'll hold it off. You go help Anya, get the healing potion, quick!"

Fear and tension were being drawn away from his heart, and soon only a calm as still water remained.

His companions needed him to step up at this moment.

Then let's fight.

"Your opponent is me."

Lorraine growled, and the lightning bolts once again wrapped around the ghoul's body, violently pulling it back towards him.

Eileen was jolted awake from her daze by Lorraine's shout.

She looked up and saw that the guy who always made her angry and acted so irresponsibly in front of her had somehow gotten into her position and was now standing in front of her.

He bent his knees, holding the shield firmly in his hands, completely focused on confronting the monster.

Eileen felt a sense of peace she had never experienced before.

She shook her head, bit her lip, and forcefully suppressed the feelings in her heart before turning and running to her friend's side.

Anya leaned quietly against the wall, her half-armor covered in mud and blood, her eyes, which always held a warm smile, were now half-closed.

"don't want..

"Eileen's tears flowed uncontrollably. She trembled as she pulled a bottle of healing potion from her waist, uncorked it, and poured it into Anya's mouth.

A small portion of the bright red medicine was spilled on her collar, but the rest still took effect, and the wound on Anya's arm began to heal at a visible speed.

But she remained quietly leaning against the wall, without making any response.

"No...no...no!"

Eileen quickly reviewed the knowledge she had firmly memorized, when suddenly she remembered something: "Ghoul... paralyzed... she's paralyzed!"

She jerked her head up and cried out, "Antidote! I need an antidote!"

Lorraine heard her shout. He gritted his teeth and used his shield to block the ghoul's claws, barely managing to unleash his magic power—[Lorraine's Thunder Wave]!

The ghoul was blasted away by the shockwave again, and the electric current paralyzed its muscles, making it temporarily unable to get up.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lorraine quickly retreated to their side.

He took out the antidote that the short man had asked him to prepare earlier from his pocket and poured it all into Anya's mouth.

Tom's medicine was far more reliable than he himself appeared; even after being stored for so long, its potency had not diminished in the slightest.

Anya's consciousness was still somewhat hazy, but her brows had already instinctively furrowed because of the strange smell of the medicine.

"Cough...cough..."

She coughed softly twice, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Eileen's anxious face, and Lorraine bending down to examine her injuries.

I'm sorry to have worried you.

Anya braced herself with her left hand against the ground, trying to stand up, but fell back down due to exhaustion.

She gasped weakly, unable to get up any further. Strands of hair clung to her cheeks, revealing a helplessness she had never felt before.
