“It’s working, but it’s not enough.”
Looking at the results of this move, Elizabeth made her evaluation.
As the beam of light dissipated, the size of the giant black mud tree shrank significantly. The leaves and crowns on it had all disappeared, leaving only a lonely trunk standing there, truly becoming a pillar.
"..."
Her eyebrows frowned slightly. The durability of this thing called the Abyss was a little beyond Melchis's expectations. According to her memory, Eve could always defeat it quickly.
With her strength, she could indeed damage the giant black mud tree, but the effect was not very good, and she would need to do it a few more times.
But the embarrassing part is that she cannot use her strength wantonly, otherwise the time she can sustain after forced awakening will be shortened.
The result is that we can only remain in a stalemate until Eve returns from Wonderland.
I hope Eve can come back soon so that the child can say his final goodbyes before this short life ends...
§238 Prelude to the War
Just as Melchis was debating whether to continue the attack or delay and wait for Eve's return, the mud pillar that was hit by the "Skylight" began to change.
Crack - crackle -
Accompanied by a series of explosions, huge cracks appeared on the mud pillar, and then spread rapidly, covering the entire mud pillar.
boom--
Along with the loud noise of the mud pillar falling to the ground and the smoke and dust it stirred up, a figure appeared in the air. But before everyone could see his appearance clearly, several people were hit hard by a sudden blow at the same time, and were caught off guard and were blown backwards.
After knocking several people away, the figure did not intend to continue chasing. Instead, he began to move his limbs, as if he was using this body for the first time.
The figure was quite handsome, different from the previous will-possessed entities. His slender, featureless body made it even more difficult to tell his gender. For some reason, his ears slightly showed the characteristics of an elf, but compared to the elves' slender ears, his ears were more like a regular triangle.
There was a layer of black mud wrapped around his body, which served as a guest function of clothes.
But this black mud may also be a part of his body.
"Tsk."
After stabilizing her body that was flying backwards, Elizabeth looked down at the defensive magic on her chest that was being eroded by black energy. That was the place where she had just been hit. She then raised her hand and cut off that part of the area, and then injected magic power to repair the bloody film.
Now the situation becomes a bit troublesome.
When she was attacked just now, a warning sign arose in her heart, but before her body could react, the opponent's attack had already landed on her. As for the power, although it failed to directly break through her defense, it should not be underestimated, and it also came with very troublesome corrosiveness.
After all, the attack just now did not look like a thunderbolt that had been accumulated for a long time, but rather seemed to be done casually.
The worst thing is that the opponent's current strength is greater than that of each of them.
Although it went from four against five to one against four, and it seemed that they had the upper hand in terms of numbers, at their level, sometimes individual level was more important.
Apart from anything else, if the other party is really willing to sacrifice their own life in exchange for the death of one of them, it will definitely be a huge trouble.
Moreover, before they merged, the opponent's defense was already no less powerful than theirs. Now it was hard to say whether their attacks could still have any effect on the opponent.
Now things are getting more complicated...
Compared to Elizabeth who was full of worries, Beast King Bestia's reaction was much more direct.
After being suddenly blown away, he first repaired his defensive magic like Elizabeth, and then rushed towards the figure with his iron fists accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.
boom--
Accompanied by a visible shock wave, a black barrier firmly blocked his fist, stopping his attack.
Only then did the Demon God finally stop adapting his body, glanced at the Beast King with disdain, then raised his arm and waved it casually as if to drive away insects.
But the consequences of such a casual wave of the hand were quite terrifying. Bestia's sturdy body flew backwards again as if in rewind, and finally stopped after falling into the distant Elf Forest and creating a crater.
"Ok?"
But when the demon wanted to continue chasing, the sudden crack on the barrier attracted his attention. He didn't expect that the punch could actually leave some marks on his defense?
What surprised him even more was that the crack not only did not recover with the injection of his power, but instead spread little by little. Finally, with a crisp sound, the black barrier exploded, and the demon god also received an unexpected surprise.
"Ku—"
On the originally neutral face, a fist mark that was larger than his head suddenly appeared. Although the damage was not high, it was definitely extremely insulting.
Slowly raising his hand, the demon god gently touched his neutral face in disbelief, as if he hadn't recovered from the punch. He had just created such a suitable body, and he was attacked?!
The next moment, the demon god came to his senses and roared in extreme anger.
"You bunch of despicable—"
But before he could finish his roar, a torrent of magic power coming from three directions directly engulfed his figure.
Needless to say, this was an attack from Elizabeth, Melchis, and Merceris.
The three of them had already guessed that the Beast King's fists would likely break the opponent's defense, so this attack could be said to have been planned for a long time.
To be honest, this was because the Demon God was a little too arrogant and underestimated his opponent, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a mess.
boom--
From the center of the collision of the three magical torrents, a black energy ball was seen expanding continuously, and it even began to push back the magical torrents little by little, but in the end it was still defeated by the overwhelming numbers, and exploded into countless black fragments that flew in all directions.
However, the demon in the middle had taken the opportunity to escape. Although the fist mark on his face had disappeared, his expression became more ferocious, making his handsome and neutral face look even more terrifying.
If he were still in his prime, these four ants could be killed in a snap of a finger, but due to his incomplete strength, these insects could still fight him off.
"call……"
Taking a deep breath, the Demon God forced himself to straighten his mind and face the opponents in front of him.
He had learned the same lesson once before, and as a result of underestimating his opponent, he was literally shattered into pieces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to find ways to repair his body now, and he wouldn't have spent so much time and used so many unnecessary tricks to invade this world.
If he falls into the same pit again, this devil will have to pack up and retire early.
There were four opponents in total, one of them was temporarily knocked aside, two of them had already reunited, and only one was left alone...
After glancing around and analyzing the current situation, the demon god slightly turned his body to face Elizabeth and Melchis. Then, like a clone, his figure turned into two black shadows and pounced forward.
And with the change in the demon's mentality, the real battle has just begun...
§239 Strange Doppelganger
Seeing the demon suddenly transform into two shadows that could not be distinguished from each other and attacked them, Elizabeth and Merceris also launched magical defenses at the same time, preparing to distinguish which side was the real one after the fight so as to warn the other, but as two roars sounded, they shouted at the same time.
"The real one is over here! / This is the real one!"
"Eh?!"
Feeling the power on the barrier that was slightly stronger than their own and the strange corrosive force, both sides agreed that they were facing the real body. After all, the ability of clones would normally lead to a decrease in strength, but the demon god's move seemed quite strange.
The next moment, the demon on Merceris's side disappeared instantly, and Elizabeth felt a chill coming from behind her.
"Tsk."
Without time to look back, Elizabeth immediately used Martina's attraction ability on herself, causing her body to fall as rapidly as a meteorite. The place where she had just stood was immediately pierced by a black blade. Under the attack from both inside and outside, the blood-colored defensive magic exploded.
"You hid very quickly."
The two figures merged into one again. The Demon God looked at Elizabeth with some surprise as she dodged the attack. As he spoke, he threw a black energy ball downwards and chased after her.
"'Dance'"
I saw that the small ball suddenly burst out with countless black whips as thick as little fingers, just like a hedgehog, and began to wave them randomly along with the rotation of the ball.
Although these black whips looked inconspicuous, after being hit once, Elizabeth's defensive magic was once again contaminated by the black energy and fell into a state of erosion.
Everything in the areas below that were drawn began to turn dark and began to evolve into black mud.
"Skylight"
As the golden beam of light burst out again, the black ball was swallowed up, and Elizabeth took the opportunity to fly to Melceris and the others. Before knowing the principle of the other party's clone, the current situation was not suitable for them to act separately.
"All of his attacks will have a corrosive effect. Be careful not to let him touch us directly."
Elizabeth said seriously as she cut off the blackened area on the defensive magic.
The opponent's attack can be blocked in terms of power alone, but the strange corrosive power is something they don't want to experience themselves.
It's a pity that the Beast King has not recovered yet after being knocked away, otherwise this situation would be suitable for him to take over. After all, he has the highest defense among the three poles of the continent, and his resistance to various things is also outrageous.
"Are we all together..."
Looking at the three people gathering in the distance, a strange smile appeared on the face of the demon god.
""appear""
As the words fell, a black shadow separated from the demon's body again, and then a black beam of light rushed straight towards the three people, while another figure followed the cover of the light beam and approached the three people.
““Ode to Life””
Like twins in perfect sync, the same magic circle appeared in front of Melceris and Melchis, and the torrent of magic power gushing out of it also merged into one, pushing back the black beam of light.
Since the defense will be eroded, just attack directly.
But Elizabeth's situation was a bit awkward. She had to face close combat and could only choose to engage the opponent.
Elizabeth used magic to create an extended blade on Martina's scythe to prevent erosion, and then she went forward with the scythe in hand.
Clang——
At the same time as Elizabeth's blade collided with the demon's, the black beam of light on the side disappeared along with the black shadow that remained in its place. Without any obstruction, the Hymn of Life directly dug a deep canyon on the ground that went straight to the horizon.
""appear""
Following the demon's whisper, two black shadows emerged from his body this time, attacking Melceris and the other person respectively, blocking their assistance to Elizabeth.
The demon god is worthy of being a demon god. Even though it is one against three, he still has the upper hand.
His unique ability to clone himself played a significant role in this, and to a great extent made up for the disadvantage of being alone.
If there is no way to quickly figure out the principle of the opponent's clone, then the battle will become extremely difficult.
"Dark Destruction Explosion"
With a low shout, a terrifying explosion erupted among the people. The shock wave directly scattered the people, and the figures of the demon god also merged into one again and chased in the direction of Elizabeth.
The black light on the blade formed by the black mud in his hand suddenly increased, and with a shake of the blade, it turned into an air blade that spanned the sky and attacked Elizabeth.
"Bloodfall"
Elizabeth cast a spell softly, and her figure turned into blood and disappeared, avoiding the sword energy. At the same time, a large number of blood balls appeared out of thin air in various places on the battlefield. With these blood balls, Elizabeth could move freely in them or avoid attacks.
When Elizabeth reappeared, she had already reunited with Merceris.
""appear""
Just like the previous scene was being repeated, two figures emerged from the demon god's body again, one far away and one close, attacking from both sides, forcing the two men to dodge.
As the two attacks failed, the demon who was carrying out long-range attacks stayed and turned to chase Melchis, who was closest to him.
At this time, Elizabeth and others were secretly discussing their speculations about the demon's abilities.
"Does anyone have any theories about the principle behind his clones? This is too passive."
"The number of clones seems to be related to our number, and they can't exist for long. Only one will remain to continue the attack."
"But the question is what exactly that connection is."
Elizabeth continued in her mind as she deflected an attack coming towards her.
"I can feel the activation of time-related abilities."
In the end, it was the awakened Elf God Melhis who gave a direction.
"I have a guess, and I need your cooperation."
After a pause, Melchis continued.
"Leave the battlefield for a while and let me fight alone."
"Sister Sis, can you let me come?"
Hearing Melchis' words, Melceris quickly stopped her.
