Chapter 898 Raven
Chapter 898 Raven
At this time, Lina stood among the crowd, raised her hands, and chanted a more complicated spell. Her whole body radiated a strong light, as if she had become a beacon, illuminating the entire battlefield.
"God of Light, please give us strength!" Her voice was clear and firm. Instantly, a bright light descended from the sky, turning the surrounding skeletons into ashes.
While Jack was killing the skeletons, he gasped and shouted to Raven, "This won't work. We need to find a chance to get close to the altar and see if we can destroy the demon directly!"
When Lena heard this, she immediately responded: "I'll attract their attention, and you two take the opportunity to get closer! Mei'er, you must hold on to your protective shield!"
Mei'er nodded, gritted her teeth and strengthened the defensive barrier. A faint blue light emanated from her body, providing protection for her companions.
As the battle progressed, the trees around them became thinner and thinner, and everyone finally saw the huge altar that exuded an evil aura. Jack and Raven exchanged glances and ran towards it in tacit understanding.
However, just as the two were about to reach the target, a sudden gust of wind blew, followed by a black mist that quickly spread and enveloped the entire battlefield.
"What is this?!" Raven frowned and stopped.
"Oh no, this seems to be dark magic." Lina's voice came, but she herself was trapped in the fog.
At the same time, the old hunter hiding in the dark watched all this and thought to himself, "It seems that the outcome of this battle will not only affect these brave men, but also our future." He said to the young man beside him.
"Senior, what should we do now?" the young man asked anxiously.
The old hunter slowly stood up, his eyes determined: "Notify everyone in the village and be prepared. No matter what the end result is, we must protect our homeland."
At this time, the demon's figure gradually became clearer, it spread its wings, and laughed mockingly. "Well, are you ready to die?" Its words echoed throughout the battlefield.
Lina took a deep breath and said loudly: "No matter what kind of danger we face, we will not retreat. Because justice will always win in the end!"
"Then let me see how strong your so-called justice is!" The devil grinned, raised the flaming sword in his hand, and launched a fierce attack on everyone.
Raven and Jack reacted quickly and rushed forward to meet the demon's attack. The tacit understanding between the two was fully demonstrated at this moment. They tried to attack the demon from both sides, one on the left and one on the right.
"Raven, to your left!" Jack shouted, and nimbly avoided the demon's first wave of fire sword attacks. Then he slid to the opponent's side and slashed the demon's thigh with the long sword in his hand.
Almost at the same time, Raven also approached, and the long sword in his hand slashed at the demon's wings with a sound of breaking wind. His eyes were firm, and he was not afraid of the blazing flames. But just when he thought that this attack was enough to cause damage, it was bounced away by the black flames that suddenly erupted from the demon.
The demon didn't seem to care about the attacks from the two men. It easily blocked all the attacks and grabbed the tip of Jack's sword with one hand. "Ants, your so-called skills and strength are not worth mentioning in my eyes."
"Damn it!" Jack cursed, and immediately let go of his weapon, using his agility to dodge. He knew that if he was caught by this demon, his fate would definitely not be good. However, at this moment, a painful sound came from Mei'er.
"Ah... the protective barrier can't hold up any longer!"
It turned out that during this brief confrontation, the skeletons that kept pouring in had taken the opportunity to increase their offensive. Although they could not penetrate the barrier cast by Mei'er, it was a huge burden for her to maintain such a high-density energy defense circle for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Lina was extremely anxious: "Hold on! We must end this battle as soon as possible." As she spoke, she began to mobilize the energy in her body again to prepare for a more powerful attack. At this time, Lena also joined in to support, and two magics of different attributes intertwined with each other, outlining a beautiful picture in the air.
At the same time, the old hunter and his accompanying villagers on the outskirts of the battlefield finally couldn't help but want to help. "Children, get ready, let's go!" With the order of the experienced old man, ordinary people who were originally just watching picked up any available tools around them and joined the ranks of fighting against the army of undead.
Although the power of a single person was insignificant, the solidarity and mutual assistance unexpectedly produced good results. In particular, an old soldier who was good at archery, with his excellent accuracy, successfully shot down many enemies who were about to attack the weak points in the rear.
Just when everyone thought they could take a breath, the demon suddenly attacked, and a dark light suddenly burst out around its body. "Since you are so stubborn, let me send you off!" Before he finished speaking, an unprecedented hurricane blew across the battlefield, stirring up even the air, making it difficult for everyone to stand steadily.
The four people who sensed the crisis quickly gathered together and stood firm side by side. As the main spellcaster in the team, Lina took a deep breath and said, "Everyone concentrate and listen to my instructions. Now only by attacking with all our strength can we turn defeat into victory."
"I know what to do," Lena responded, her eyes determined, "Let's fight this together!"
"That's right!" Raven agreed, gripping his sword tightly. Jack and Mei'er beside him also expressed their agreement.
Just like that, when the hurricane reached its peak, the group gathered their strength in the center for the last fight. Lina waved her wand towards the sky and chanted an ancient and complex spell; then the others launched their strongest moves...
“With light and hope, evil will surely vanish—the ultimate divine glory!”
Instantly, countless dazzling points of light gathered into a huge beam of light that shot up into the sky and hit the core of the storm. Just as everyone was holding their breath waiting for the result, the devil's rampant laughter sounded again, "Stupid behavior, this is of no use at all."
Its words came to an abrupt halt, as an incomparable pressure directly hit it. Its huge body gradually lost its balance, and it slowly fell down in front of everyone's shocked eyes...
"Is it really over?" Jack asked, looking at the huge shadow lying on the ground.
Raven clenched the sword in his hand and looked at the demon lying on the ground with vigilance. Although its body seemed to have lost its vitality, everyone knew that such an enemy would not give up easily.
"Don't let your guard down, it may have a backup plan." Raven said in a deep voice, signaling everyone not to get close easily.
Lina nodded, still maintaining her defensive magic. Sweat beads slightly oozed from her forehead, and it was obvious that the ultimate attack just now had consumed a lot of her magic power. "We must solve this problem once and for all."
Mei'er's protective barrier gradually returned to calm. Her face was slightly pale, but she was still firm: "I will continue to hold on. You guys try to move as quickly as possible."
Lena stood in front, quickly forming seals with her hands in front of her chest: "I will try to detect its status. If possible, maybe I can find a way to completely destroy it."
Suddenly, a black aura surged out from the fallen demon and quickly gathered into a small ball. Jack stepped back vigilantly: "It seems it's not over yet."
The black gas spread rapidly, forming a dark vortex that attracted the surrounding energy. Then, a deep voice came: "Humph, foolish mortals, do you think you can defeat me like this?"
The demon's figure solidified again, this time even taller and more ferocious, with black flames burning all over its body. Its wings spread out, as if to devour all light.
Raven leaped up and swung his sword at the demon: "Even if we have to fight again, we will never lose!"
The demon sneered and rushed forward, and the two fought together. Raven's strength and skills were combined to be impeccable, but he still felt exhausted, and every attack was easily defused by the opponent.
Seeing this, Jack immediately rushed forward and cooperated with Raven. He nimbly dodged the demon's flaming sword, trying to find a breakthrough. "Raven, aim at its right leg, I'll distract its attention!"
Raven nodded in response, and struck back fiercely when the time was right. The demon seemed to notice this, and turned around suddenly, swinging his sword to force Jack back, and then grabbed Raven's hilt. The two forces collided, and the ground was shattered.
At this moment, Mei'er suddenly shouted loudly: "Be careful behind you!" A black shadow was approaching rapidly. It was another skeleton general rushing out of the woods, trying to attack their backs.
Lina quickly chanted a spell and lightly tapped her fingers, and a force of light instantly hit the Skeleton General. However, this Skeleton General was stronger than the previous one, and continued to charge after being slightly blocked.
Seeing this, Lena took decisive action and summoned a frost field. The cold air instantly enveloped part of the battlefield, slowing down the skeleton general's movements. But she knew that this was far from enough and she had to solve these troubles as soon as possible.
The old hunters and villagers saw the critical situation and rushed to support. Although they did not have much fighting power, they played an unexpected role in the chaos. Some threw stones, and some used homemade weapons to kill the undead creatures that kept pouring in.
The old hunter shouted loudly: "Everyone, be careful and cover each other! We must hold on so that those heroes can have a chance to catch their breath."
Jack responded with a gasp: "Thank you, senior! Just give us a little more time..." As he said that, he rushed towards the demon again and fought fiercely with it.
Lena and Lina were also trying their best, they worked together to cast a spell, hoping to weaken the power of the devil. The air was filled with the collision of various magical elements, light and shadow intertwined, forming a strange scene.
Just when everyone thought the battle was about to reach its climax, the demon suddenly stopped. It howled to the sky, making a deafening sound that shook the entire battlefield. "What a trouble... In that case, let me show you the true power of darkness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thick dark clouds gathered in the sky, strong winds blew up dust all over the sky, and countless evil forces gathered between lightning and thunder.
Raven, Jack, Lina, Lena and all the villagers were shocked by the sudden change.
“Are you ready?” Raven turned around and shouted to his companions, his eyes full of determination, “No matter what happens next, we will face it together!”
Jack gritted his teeth, his eyes firm and unwavering: "That's right, I will never retreat!"
Lena took a deep breath and nodded: "We must trust each other and fight together until the last moment!" A gleam of light flashed in Lena's eyes. Although her magic power had been consumed a lot, she knew that now was not the time to retreat. "No matter what, we can't give up! We still have hope!"
At this moment, the demon's body began to swell, as if gathering unprecedented strength. The air around him became more oppressive, and everyone could feel a terrifying aura approaching.
"Everyone get ready, this may be the last chance." Raven whispered, he gripped the sword tightly, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
The demon's voice echoed in the storm: "Let me show you the true meaning of the power of darkness!"
Suddenly, a huge black beam shot out from the demon's hand and came straight towards them. Jack and Raven reacted quickly and swung their swords at the black light at the same time, but the black light twisted and dodged as if it had life, bypassing the two's attacks and hitting the protective barrier behind them.
Mei'er gritted her teeth and tried her best to maintain the barrier: "Everyone, get out of here quickly, the barrier won't hold for much longer!"
The old hunter led the villagers to evacuate quickly. They shuttled across the battlefield, trying their best to find cover. Although their hearts were filled with fear, their eyes were still full of determination.
"Lena, is there any way to weaken this force?" Lina asked anxiously.
Lena thought quickly and replied, "I can try to channel this energy, but it's too strong. We need a stable output point to help me complete this operation."
"Then let me do it!" Jack volunteered, his voice full of determination, "As long as you can find a way, I will do it at any cost."
Lena nodded, and she began to cast a spell. With a gentle wave of her hands, a breath of frost wrapped around Jack, protecting him. Then, she chanted a spell, directing the energy of the black light to gradually gather towards Jack.
At the same time, Lina was also doing her best to release magic and work together with Lena. The two formed a powerful force and gradually guided the dark force to Jack's location.
"Are you ready, Jack?" Lena asked.
Jack clenched his fists tightly, without a trace of fear on his face: "Everything is ready." (End of this chapter)
