The smell of sulfur filled the air.
Sophina didn't transform back into her dragon form. But even so, her battle style was no different from when she was in her dragon form. Rough, simple, straightforward, and without any hesitation.
The young lady charged into the crowd and thrust the scarlet spear in her hand at the holy knight in front of her.
Upon detecting Sophina's attack, the holy knight hurriedly withdrew his sword and tried to resist the attack. As a matter of fact, he succeeded.
The tip of the scarlet spear struck the holy knight's two-handed sword, bursting into bright, scarlet sparks. But at the next moment, the unlucky holy knight flew backward in a loud bang. In an instant, a huge hole appeared in the wall behind the temple. Dust and debris rained down like rain. Not only that, but the ground also shook slightly from this violent impact.
What kind of monster is this!
Looking at this scene, the other holy knights were bewildered. Even though undead creatures were indeed extraordinary in terms of strength, this young lady's performance was far more terrifying than ordinary undead creatures. They couldn't imagine what kind of power was hidden in that petite body of hers to be able to do this!
But Sophina had no intention of explaining to them. After striking the enemy in front of her, she gripped the spear with both hands and slashed forward abruptly. In an instant, a red whirlwind crashed into the encirclement of the holy knights mercilessly.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere. The spinning red spear flew forward like a flying compass. All the holy knights who tried to stop Sophina were sent flying as soon as they collided with the red whirlwind. On the other hand, those who were unfortunate enough to be caught in the whirlwind were sliced into pieces like pieces of meat.
The razor-sharp spear sliced through the thick armor of the holy knights, pierced their flesh, and severed their bones.
Along with the opening that Sophina blasted open, the Chaos Creatures and undead army swarmed in and launched another round of deadly attacks on the holy knights who were on the verge of collapsing.
At that moment, Elise finally launched her attack.
Unlike the wild Sophia, this Vampire lady was an orthodox Mage, and naturally would not choose to engage in close combat with such a dangerous method.
In fact, she didn't even use the negative energy flames. She just stretched out her hands and drew a series of runes in the air. At the next moment, the blood that had piled up on the ground and was flowing congealed under the attraction of an invisible force. Not long after, it turned into two huge blood beasts that charged forward under Elyse's control.
It seemed that in terms of recycling waste, Elyse had also learned quite well.
At that moment, the bishop finally made his move.
He also saw that the Paladins' defense line was in shambles. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the Paladins fell.
At this moment, the bishop couldn't help but make a move. Previously, he had conserved his strength just in case. But now, it seemed that if he didn't make a move now, he wouldn't have to be on guard anymore.
Soon, the bishop raised the scepter in his hand and pointed it forward.
"Spear of Judgement!!"
Along with the bishop's snarl, spears of light emerged from the void one after another and blasted forward like a violent storm.
In the face of such an attack, the ordinary Chaos Creatures couldn't resist at all. Before they reacted, the spears of light penetrated their bodies.
Shortly after, the spears of light stabbed into the ground and shone brightly as though resonating with each other. At the same time, the bishop raised the scepter in his hand again and chanted a word.
"— — — —!"
Countless spears of light erupted in an instant. The dazzling brilliance merged into one, dazzling and eye-catching like the sun.
So much so that Elyse could not help but scream and hurriedly hid behind Zayen. Although as a perfect body, she was not afraid of real sunlight, there was a limit to everything.
The brilliance that was filled with holy energy had clearly exceeded the limits of what ordinary people could endure. Not to mention vampires, even an ordinary person wouldn't be able to get away with such a strong brilliance.
The brilliance dissipated.
The Chaos Creatures that filled the entire temple had turned into ashes. Even the undead army that Jenn summoned vanished in the blast of brilliance that was comparable to the explosion of the sun.
Not only that, but the holy knight and the elderly bishop who were in charge of stopping the Chaos Creatures were also nowhere to be seen. It seemed like they had also used the explosion of holy light to escort the bishop out of the temple.
In an instant, the entire temple was in complete silence. Apart from the shattered rubble and corpses that littered the ground, there was nothing but dead silence.
Swish!
At that moment, the pile of rubble was flipped over. Then, Sophina jumped out. She was in the center of the holy light earlier, so she was naturally implicated.
However, the Royal Highness Princess didn't seem to be injured. She shook her head, raised her spear, and pointed it forward.
This wasn't surprising. Even though the holy light was extremely effective against darkness and evil creatures, Sophina was the Red Dragon Princess. Dragons were highly resistant to magic and weren't evil creatures that could be purified. Therefore, the bishop's holy light spear naturally couldn't deal fatal damage to her.
But even if she wasn't severely injured, she would still feel dizzy from the attack just now.
As for Elyse, her expression was naturally not good either. She did not expect the other party to still have such a powerful force. Before the blood fiends she created could do anything, they were completely purified into nothing. This made Elyse rather depressed.
But since Jenn didn't say a word, she couldn't do anything else.
This is interesting. Jenn narrowed his eyes at this scene. Even though this attack had cost him a lot of strength, it was just as Jenn had said.
But as Zayen said, these Chaos monsters were not his subordinates. In the game's terminology, they were just derivatives created by the [Eternal Night Canopy]. Zayen would not feel the pinch no matter how many sacrifices were made.
Moreover, there were tens of thousands of Chaos creatures in the city. The bishop had only destroyed one-tenth of them. With just a thought, an equal number of Chaos creatures, or even more, would gather around Zayen.
"Those guys escaped. Should we chase after them?
Sir Jenn? "
After glancing at Sophina, Elyse turned to look at Zayen and asked. But in the face of Elyse's question, Zayen nodded.
"Of course, Elise. You and Sophina continue forward. Make sure to eliminate the remaining enemies.
Remember, don't be rash.
Even though the holy spear can only be used once a day, you should be aware of the potential that humans can unleash in the face of life and death. I don't want anything to happen to you, understand? "
"Yes, Sir Jenn."
Upon hearing Jenn's command, Elise nodded hurriedly. At the same time, she felt a tinge of sweetness in her heart.
As a young lady, of course, Elise heard the warning in Jenn's words. This was obviously his concern for them.
Elyse was naturally overjoyed. She lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed to Zayen, and quickly gestured to Sophia, who was watching from a distance. Then, the two of them floated into the temple like ghosts and disappeared into the dark corridor in no time.
Watching the two of them leave, Zayen nodded in satisfaction. Then, he closed his eyes and opened them again — soon, the [Eye of Evil] was activated again.
In Jenn's field of vision, he clearly saw the radiance that represented souls.
It was apparent that the bishop had consumed a lot of his strength after casting the holy spear. In Jenn's eyes, his soul flame was like a candle in the wind and it wouldn't take long for it to extinguish completely.
Beside him were dozens of surviving Holy Knights. At this moment, they were escorting the bishop towards the secret passage of the temple. Zayen only glanced at them and did not pay any more attention to them.
Instead, he ordered the surrounding Chaos Creatures to gather and cooperate with Elise and Sophina to eliminate the disobedient nobles.
As for Rhode, he lifted his head and gazed ahead.
Shortly after, Jenn found the nobles who escaped in a secret passage. Judging from their movement speed, they seemed to be sprinting at full speed. But what puzzled Jenn was that they didn't choose to escape out of the city (even though escaping out of the city would only lead to death). Instead, they ran toward the city lord's palace in the heart of Gale City.
Who exactly are they?
Looking at this scene, Jenn couldn't help but stare blankly. He thought that these people were the ruling class of Gale City.
But now that he thought about it, it didn't seem right.
[Eternal Canopy of Night] required a certain amount of time to activate.
Nobles like them should have turned around and fled back home as soon as they discovered that something was amiss.
Instead, this group of people hid in the temple until they realized that they couldn't hold on any longer. Then, they ran toward the city lord's palace through the secret passage, apparently intending to use the teleportation ritual to leave.
This proved that they weren't the ruling class of this city and should be related to the Church of Holy …
But no matter what, now that Rhode knew their destination, the next step would be much easier.
At this thought, Jenn sneered and snapped his fingers.
In the next moment, hundreds of Xenomorphs quietly scuttled out of the darkness like ghosts in the night sky, flying toward the center of Gale City.
