You are all my wings!

"Damn it, this longevity species has actually advanced to the fourth rank."

"It seems that the previous judgment was wrong. It was this long-lived species that took away the blood-red monster before."

"Damn long-lived species! With their racial talents, they easily crushed my years of life alchemy accumulation!"

"Why is the creation of the world by the gods so unjust?"

A surge of intense anger rose within Andrio.

This anger stemmed partly from the fact that he had been so easily and miserably defeated by two level four opponents.

Another part, and more importantly, is anger at the uniquely favorable conditions that long-lived species enjoy!

Why is it that, despite being born into a different race, she can so easily possess a huge amount of magic power and easily obtain a rare job?

why!

In a fit of anger, he became furious.

Then, he immediately regained his composure.

As a powerful figure from the Holy Blood School who has survived divine punishment for many years, anger only increases his motivation for revenge, but does not interfere with his current battle strategy.

At this moment, the power of the Holy Annihilation finally reached its limit, and Andrio landed steadily on the ground.

Just as the eighth spear of judgment was about to strike, he suddenly pressed his hand against the ground, gathered his magic power, and activated the life alchemy magic.

BOOM!!!

The eighth shot precisely struck the crack that had formed in Andrio's chest, gathering all the damage from before and piercing through in one go.

At the same time, its power remained undiminished, carrying Andrio's body backward for more than ten meters before embedding itself in the wall next to the entrance of the ninth branch road behind them.

This was clearly a successful kill, yet it made Iris and Britta frown.

"Success?"

"But why does it feel wrong?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Britta quickly began chanting, preparing to use Holy Blaze to incinerate Andrio's corpse and finish him off.

As someone who was constantly in a state of struggle, Britta was very adept at this.

However, in the next instant, Andrio's body suddenly turned into a pool of blood, seeping into the ground at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"He didn't die. He must have sensed something was wrong and sacrificed some of his magic power to escape using life alchemy. I didn't expect him to have even turned his own body into an alchemical puppet. No wonder when I fought him last time, not only Holy Annihilation Magic, but other spells had a hard time harming him."

Britta frowned as she gave her assessment.

"Is it possible that he didn't run away, but instead regrouped and is preparing to fight us in a different way?"

"Iris asked."

"Has he changed his target?"

As the two remained on guard, a chilling thought suddenly crept into their minds, and they looked toward Leon as if by telepathy.

But then, not far from where Lyon was still locked in a 'difficult' battle with Machiru, a stream of blood suddenly seeped out of the desert and lunged at Lyon.

"Damn it!"

"Watch out behind you, Lyon!"

Upon hearing the warning, the two quickly drew their fastest spells and unleashed them at Leon's back.

Iris cast the basic spell, Light Cone.

Britta casts the Basic Holy Furnace (there are three versions: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, all with the same name).

In an instant, an astonishing magical brilliance burst forth as the magic collided, the intensity of the light quickly obscuring everyone's vision for a moment.

As the blood rushed forward, it was clearly disrupted by these two sudden attacks, slowing its speed by a moment.

After all, it was only a rudimentary spell; it was already quite remarkable that it could even interfere with him.

For Leon, that brief moment of disruption was enough to trigger Shadow Leap and allow him to escape the combat zone.

call out!call out!

With two consecutive Shadow Leaps, he instantly flashed more than ten meters away.

He glanced at the lump of blood that Andrio had transformed into, and quickly recognized what it was.

Lyon knew that if he were hit by the blood, his body would instantly become nourishment for Andrio to restore his body and magic.

This blood-soaked attack is definitely not an ordinary move.

Rather, it was the means by which Andrio survived when God Astalia punished the Bloodline School more than thirty years ago.

Original blood shedding.

It is the strongest survival skill derived from "Original Blood Transformation," the core professional skill that Andrio acquired after becoming a Life Alchemist.

His combat power wasn't significantly damaged, but his defense was drastically weakened. He must have lost his sense of security, since with his skin damaged, Saint Annihilation now had the potential to instantly shatter his physical body.

So he's planning to get a kill before he leaves?

Or perhaps we could switch to a surprise attack strategy and prolong the battle?

Whether it's the former or the latter, it seems he's planning to take down Lyon, who performed well in the previous four magic systems.

While the Four Knights were quite skilled in combat, Leon, who could hold his own against Maquill for several minutes, was clearly more likely to be remembered by Andrea.

Even if Maggie Lu intentionally or unintentionally held back, she's no ordinary character.

call out!!!!

The blood froze in place for a moment, then seeped into the ground and disappeared.

It looks like they're preparing to launch another sneak attack.

Lyon cursed inwardly, "This old bastard is a fifth-level expert, doesn't he have any shame?"

"Iris, the Spear of Judgment, throw!"

Leon shouted, calling for his teammates.

"But which direction should we bet?"

Although the Spear of Judgment has a guaranteed hit, its power will be reduced if the direction of the force is off.

The inability to see the enemy prevents the Judgment Spear from unleashing its ferocity through speed.

"Throw it into the sky!"

Lyon said firmly.

Chapter 97 Cursed Serpent

Iris was taken aback, but then she understood what Leon meant.

"As expected of you, my calm and wise commander."

Without hesitation, she hurled the newly formed Spear of Judgment toward the dome.

Instead of throwing in a straight line, she made a slight arc and tossed it towards the sky above Lyon.

call out!!!!

The spear of light shot out rapidly and began to fall in a parabolic trajectory near the hundred-meter-high dome.

As it fell, the spear of light was attracted by some kind of 'link', deflected, and its speed suddenly soared to its limit under the influence of gravitational potential energy.

laugh!!!!

The shot pierced the ground instantly, creating a deep hole.

It is precisely by utilizing the fact that the Spear of Light, once materialized, possesses weight and can be accelerated and its direction adjusted by gravity that this strike does not lose too much speed.

While using the properties of light to accelerate at the beginning would have been the best option in essence, for the moment, this shot has clearly achieved the result Lyon wanted.

That is to accurately mark Andrio's location!

If it were any other throwing method, Andrio would have quickly moved away.

In preparation for this follow-up attack, Lyon had already initiated a Shadow Leap to move around on the ground before the shot hit the ground, avoiding being locked on by Andrea.

The moment the spear tip rapidly locked onto the new direction, Leon leaped out of Shadow Leap and jumped toward the direction the Spear of Judgment was anchoring.

Then he touched the ground with his hands, gathering magic power.

Pseudo-intermediate water and earth elemental magic, Frozen Tide!

Magic -12.

This is a new ultimate move he created by maximizing the Cold Wave Magic and combining it with a portion of the basic earth magic, Earth Solidification.

It is the ground-based version of the magic of cold waves.

The development concept is similar to that of the small swamp, which can freeze the ground on a large scale, freezing enemies who are good at hiding on the ground.

This is one of his many pseudo-intermediate spell reserves, but he has rarely used it in actual combat because he has never found a suitable use for it.

If you don't change your class to an elemental mage, you can't use it immediately.

Clap la la!

As the magic was activated, the surrounding desert, within a 20-meter diameter area and a 6-meter underground zone, was completely frozen!

A chilling aura suddenly emanated from the sand, and the golden gravel under the light appeared a dark color.

In the air, a large amount of water vapor condenses and adheres to the sand surface, forming rough, impurity-laden black frost.

At this moment, Iris's second Judgment Spear arrived, striking the spot three meters away from the first Judgment Spear.

puff!

A few drops of blood splattered.

Clearly, at the last moment, Andrio moved beneath the sand, successfully using it to block the previous Judgment Spear.

However, this time Lyon's ambush and the freezing cold wave successfully trapped Andrio, leaving his body covered in blood in a semi-frozen state, preventing him from moving quickly.

Then came the third and fourth shots.

Blood splattered on the ground, causing damage to Andrio.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to get yourself killed by getting distracted at a time like this?"

BOOM!!!

Lyon was struck from behind, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and his body was swept forward by the force, flying seven or eight meters before tumbling on the ground.

He nimbly leaped up, dodging another vine that continued to pursue him.

A burning sensation ran down his back, causing a slight ache in his shoulder muscles. He dared not swing his sword recklessly, and while dodging, he activated a water healing spell to speed up the repair of his shoulder injury.

Although she had just successfully created difficulties for Andrio, she was indeed distracted and Machiru seized the opportunity.

And seeing that Andrio was losing the battle, wouldn't she also want to change her fighting style and switch to more powerful magic?

As Leon was rolling around thinking this, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Machiru suddenly waved her wand, and a dark, ethereal magical light flashed once more.

He knew something was wrong; his opponent had indeed sped up the pace, so he immediately launched Shadow Leap without hesitation.

call out!!!!

His body turned into a shadow and flashed into the distance.

With a sizzle, jet-black venomous snakes sprang up from where he had landed and chased after Leon.

These jet-black venomous snakes, no more than five or six centimeters thick and one or two meters long, instantly transformed the sand into a bubbling, black swamp wherever they went, and the sand itself melted into a translucent, multicolored liquid.

"Is this Machiru's cursed serpent?"

Leon caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, and his scalp tingled.

I was just wondering if Machiru was influenced by the halo of trust, so she was holding back against me.

So why did they suddenly resort to such ruthless tactics?

So, it really couldn't withstand the influence of the battle winds?

What he didn't know was that Machiavelle didn't decide to attack so fiercely just because she saw Andrio at a disadvantage.
