This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

You three Venerables have kept your information so well hidden, not letting anyone know anything, so you can have more trump cards up your sleeve. And now, you think you can extract our information just through conversation?

Why.

Abyss deliberately prevented Haynes from knowing the specifics of his move.

“Indeed, you don’t need to tell me the source of your abilities.” Haines wasn’t angry at all; instead, he seemed to deeply sympathize.

Then he raised a hand toward the Abyss.

"But now, your magic is no longer enough for you to protect your family."

He actually planned to bypass the Abyss and attack Flora directly.

"watch out!"

However, Flora showed no fear whatsoever. She stood behind the Abyss, raising her fist towards the enemy. As she opened her fist, a dazzling light tore through the darkness—it was Holy Light, the incantation she had already prepared.

Flora was no pushover; though gentle in nature, she was not one to be bullied.

“Now, it’s my turn to protect the Abyss,” Flora said softly, her voice so low it was as if she were whispering to the Abyss.

Flora usually acts too much like a support character, gentle and weak, as if she always needs protection. Even Haines made a misjudgment because he had never faced the Abyss directly.

The light from her holy light spell was so intense that it could penetrate her mask and eyelids, causing Haines to experience a momentary blindness.

Immediately afterwards, Flora drew a small mace from her waist with incredible speed!

This thing is much more useful than scriptures. Although Flora doesn't particularly like violence, she's very familiar with maces. The priests of the Papacy sometimes use them when suppressing cultists, to persuade them with reason. Not only can it be used to hit people, but it's also easier to control than throwing knives or spears, and can be used to smash people.

At this moment, Flora imbued the palm-sized mace with a divine spell called Weapon Blessing, and then hurled it at one of Haines's six bodies.

Boom!

The small mace looks like a child's toy, but after being blessed by Flora with a weapon that has been strengthened many times over, its destructive power is no less than the full-force attack of a Supreme Aura Master!

The entire cavern trembled as the blessed mace unleashed a terrifying impact, instantly reducing one of Haines' clones, along with a section of stone beneath his feet, to dust! A gust of wind swept out from the point of impact, whipping Flora's golden hair into a flutter.

"This?" Haines was taken aback.

How could this seemingly delicate little girl destroy an entire clone just by throwing a toy at it?

"Well done, Flora," Abyss praised Flora softly.

This mace was part of Flora's preparations before she arrived.

She didn't have many trump cards, and many divine spells couldn't be used here, but she still prepared this mini mace for any possible situation.

Now, the Abyss can no longer use magic or divine power, and its fighting spirit has been weakened due to the reduced connection with Leona. This is the moment for Flora to shine!

“You actually have such power… It seems I underestimated you before.” After a brief moment of shock, Haines recovered and began to move the remaining five bodies—he was already planning to use more flexible tactics in the fight.

But the Abyss also began to move at this moment.

Yes, enough time has been spent delaying. Although Haines was ruthless, he failed to kill the Abyss quickly enough. Now, the magic circle outside has begun to take effect, the trap's effectiveness is gradually being neutralized, and the magic power within the Abyss is slowly returning.

Chapter 334 I was given a chance, but you didn't use it!

The magic circle created by the insects outside has been fully formed. The magic power sent directly to the magic circle by the roots of the sacred tree allows the magic circle to operate at full capacity with astonishing efficiency.

The trap array that had just stripped the Abyss of its magic is now weakening under the influence of the outer array, until it fails.

At this moment, the magic that Abyss had just been stripped away began to recover at an astonishing speed.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't do it right." Abyss mocked, and charged towards Haines, unleashing five powerful magical shockwaves from his hands at the same time.

Haines also realized at this moment that although he had lived for more than a thousand years, he was still somewhat ignorant.

Abyss is too monstrous. This is supposed to be the Three Venerables' home ground, so how come Abyss is able to bring out so many trump cards?

After the trap's effect was neutralized, his mana recovered far too quickly. Furthermore, he released five mana shockwaves simultaneously. It should be noted that this spell cannot be released in too many forms at once; it releases the mage's mana in the form of pure shockwaves, which places a heavy burden on mana throughput.

Just how insane is this guy's mana throughput?

Haines quickly had each of his five bodies create a magical shield to protect themselves.

When the Abyss's shockwave hit the shield, it did not align and impact as it would when hitting a normal shield. Instead, it was neutralized by some kind of ingenious magic on the shield.

The five magical shockwaves vanished instantly, causing no harm to Haines.

But this is not the whole story for Abyss; those six shockwaves were just the beginning.

"I know your magical skills are extremely high, and you can neutralize my shockwaves, but what if it were my various different shockwaves? Could you block them all?"

As Abyss spoke, he unleashed a massive shockwave at Haines.

He had already observed that although Haines' clones were very strong and had strong magic resistance, they could be injured by physical attacks—for example, the shockwave released by the spiked mace that Flora had just thrown could destroy one of his clones.

Therefore, Abyss decided to fight using magic that could cause pure physical damage as much as possible, and this magic shockwave was the most direct one.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

In the blink of an eye, the Abyss released several different shockwaves. The release principles and magical structures of these shockwaves were very different, and some of them were even released by the Abyss on the spot.

Haines' shield was suddenly under pressure. He had been reducing the pressure on the shield by neutralizing incoming magic, but now the Abyss was releasing so many different magical shockwaves one after another. How could he neutralize them one by one?

"Impressive..." Haines clearly felt that the shield he had deployed in front of him could no longer neutralize the Abyss's shockwaves, because the type of shockwaves changed too quickly and was extremely random, making it impossible to neutralize them one by one.

Abyss, however, did not stop. His body was engulfed in dazzling blue battle aura flames as he charged toward one of Haines's bodies.

Snapped!

At the same time, Haines' shield shattered.

A fist burning with fierce fighting spirit struck one of Haines's bodies in an instant, tearing it to pieces.

Whoosh whoosh!

Haines' counterattack came at this moment. He controlled the bone fragments produced by the shattered bones inside the broken body and attacked Flora.

Abyss reached out and grabbed at the bone fragments flying towards Flora, slowing them down considerably.

At that moment, Flora quickly finished chanting a prayer, and a golden, egg-shaped shield enveloped her. The slowed bone fragments struck the shield, causing it to flicker, but they did not break through it.

"You can't kill me, Abyss!" Haines's voice rang out at that moment, seemingly warning Abyss, "Give up!"

With only four bodies left, Haines seemed to have found some confidence, and Abyss showed no mercy to him, charging directly at one of his other bodies.

"I've figured out your weakness!" Haines suddenly shouted.

As he spoke, a large number of bone spikes suddenly emerged from the ground, some of which pierced Flora's protective shield, causing it to spark. Abyss, who was running on the ground using his battle aura, was also forced to jump up to dodge these bone spikes imbued with faint divine power.

All the bone spurs began to emit peculiar fluctuations without piercing the Abyss.

This fluctuation is very similar to the fluctuation that impacted the Abyss's mind before, but it clearly strengthens a certain aspect of his abilities—Haines has already guessed that the body the Abyss is using now is not his original body at all, but one that he is remotely controlling from somewhere!

This fluctuation is weakening Abyss's control over the body.

The effect was surprisingly similar to the trap formation from before.

"You are indeed an outstanding mage!" Abyss exclaimed in sincere admiration.

Haines did not answer, but instead focused all his efforts on maintaining the magic that was interfering with the Abyss's remote control of the possessed body.

Haines's strength was indeed formidable. Although the magic he unleashed was not as powerful as Abyss's, it was still comparable. In just a few seconds, Abyss already felt his limbs were not as nimble as before. The dense bone spikes on the ground forced him to use his aura to float above them, which further increased the difficulty.

After discovering that the magic was effective, Haines suddenly increased the intensity of his magic output.

He wanted to sever the connection between the Abyss and this body!

Abyss's figure in mid-air began to appear precarious.

"When did you guess that this body of mine is remotely controlled?" Abyss exclaimed again. "Not bad, there have been many surprises in our fight."

"You're still here? Are you kidding me?" Haines seemed puzzled by Abyss's nonchalant attitude.

"Of course, do you think I'd be afraid of that?"

Abyss's question made Haynes, who was about to deliver the final blow to Abyss, pause for a moment.

At that moment, he also sensed something was amiss.

His magic seems to be being consumed abnormally.

Wait, what's going on? Isn't this effect caused by the trap array they set up here? How come it's affecting our own people now?

Chapter 335 Haines's Admit of Defeat

Haines felt his magic power gradually weakening, and the bone spears he had just created on the ground were now breaking off one by one—his magic power was no longer sufficient to sustain their existence.

"What... what's going on..."

Haines was genuinely surprised this time. He looked at the bone spears breaking on the ground and the Abyss staring coldly at him from a distance, unable to believe that he was now facing the same situation as the Abyss had just been.

“Haines, I have seen through your clone’s true nature through observation,” Abyss said calmly at this moment. He had now switched from defense to offense and taken the initiative in the battle.

"You... you figured it out?" Haines stared at Abyss, pondering how to escape their current predicament.

“Yes, Haines, your current state easily leads one to think that you might have used some kind of clone magic, or that you are controlling several bodies at the same time. But I have found that it is not that simple. Haines, you have divided your soul into multiple parts and then injected them into multiple bodies at the same time. Each body has the same strength, and there is no order or hierarchy between them.”

Abis calmly replied, "Am I right?"

Haines fell silent; what Abyss said was actually true.

Haines was a master of soul studies and naturally had his own unique insights in this area. He had previously developed the ability to divide his soul into multiple parts without damaging its origin.

After dividing his soul into multiple parts, Haynes copied his body and then injected it into multiple bodies.

These bodies can cultivate magic separately, and because his souls come from the same source, they possess unparalleled coordination abilities—they can be completely synchronized and communicate without delay, so these clones gradually acquire the same strength.

The soul cannot be destroyed. No matter how many parts Haines divides his soul into, it will not be destroyed because any part is too weak.

Even if a body is destroyed, he can immediately detach the soul from that body and later find an opportunity to install it in a new body.

"So I'm not in a hurry to defeat you right now. Anyway, you can't be truly defeated by me. I can't kill you at all. I just need to wait until your magic is completely drained and you can no longer maintain your current soul transfer magic, and then I'll collect your wandering soul."

Abyss's tone was calm, but he had already declared victory in the battle.

"Absorb my magic... How did you manage to use the same methods against me?" Haines asked.

"You mean this? Of course I can't tell you the specific method, it's confidential." Abis shook his head, "But I can tell you my general idea."
