“Be careful! It's a spatial teleportation Divine Art!”
At this moment, the undead priest below pulled himself out of the rocks, his voice filled with dread.
Although he had fallen from the Diamond Rank to the Gold Rank, his necromantic divine arts were still at the Diamond Rank level. Yet, when faced with Leon's sudden sneak attack, the rotting flesh shield he had condensed could barely withstand it!
If he hadn't quickly condensed two layers of rotting flesh shields for defense the moment he sensed danger, that single strike alone would have been enough to severely wound him!
“Watch out for his spatial teleportation Divine Art! Chester, set up a spatial interference spell to disrupt his teleportation as much as possible! Alec, slip into the shadows, and watch out for his arrows...”
The undead priest quickly barked out orders. Even though it was a three-on-one fight, he acted with absolute seriousness, refusing to let his guard down for even a second.
However, before he could finish laying out his tactics, he suddenly felt a violent, howling wind rushing toward his face!
An invisible attack slammed forward. The undead priest reacted within milliseconds, bursting with mental power to condense a necrotic tentacle.
The necrotic tentacle whipped toward the invisible attack. The two collided, producing a sharp snapping sound.
Crack!
Thunder and frost instantly enveloped the necrotic tentacle, snapping it as if it had been crushed by a massive weight, causing it to instantly go limp and shatter.
However, taking advantage of the brief delay bought by the necrotic tentacle, the undead priest managed to retreat rapidly, escaping the attack range of the invisible Hammer of Sacred Light.
The undead priest stared at the suddenly appearing blue-gold giant with his hollow eye sockets and said sharply:
“The arrows Leon fires possess summoning capabilities!”
“Using the arrow's landing point as a beacon, he can summon a slightly smaller Divine Art Colossus. The colossus wields a hammer-shaped weapon that cannot be seen with the naked eye.”
“The hammer-shaped weapon also possesses both thunder and frost attributes. Furthermore...”
Leaping backward once more, the undead priest summoned another necrotic tentacle to block the attack of the Hammer of Sacred Light as he continued, “Additionally, this Divine Art Colossus possesses tracking capabilities. You must keep an eye on it at all times!”
The intelligence gathered by the undead priest brought human-like expressions of gravity to the fleshless, skeletal faces of the other two undead generals.
Leon also overheard the undead priest's words. He clicked his tongue and said:
“You three are transcendents who fell from the Diamond Rank. Why are you sharing intel in a three-on-one fight? You're making me look like some kind of raid boss.”
With that, the blue-gold giant beside Leon unleashed its power once again.
Twang! Twang! Twang!
The sharp sound of bowstrings bursting rang out. One invisible Hammer of Sacred Light after another transformed into arrows, shooting forth under the enhancement of the Buff Inscription.
Sensing the power of the light hammer arrows of Sacred Light, the faces of the undead rogue and the necromancer changed drastically.
At this moment, they finally understood why the undead priest, the strongest among them, had been sent flying by a single arrow despite putting up three layers of shields. Because... the power of this arrow was simply too terrifying!
Bang! Bang!
The two undead generals did not dare to be careless. They unleashed all their power, roaring as they defended against the incoming hammer arrows.
But the power contained within those hammer arrows was far too horrifying! Even though they barely managed to block them, their bodies were still violently blasted back by a terrifying, immense force, flying straight backward for dozens of meters!
“Fuck!”
The undead rogue cursed angrily, stabilizing his backward-flying body. His gaze, burning with soul fire, locked dead onto Leon.
Those bastards from the Church of Sacred Light were absolute sons of bitches! What “once-in-a-century Divine Art genius”? Was this fucking once-in-a-century? From his personal combat experience as a thousand-year-old undead, the strength Leon displayed could only be described as once in a millennium. And a rarity among rarities at that!
Although the three of them had made ample preparations and tried their best to elevate their estimates before taking the mission, they only realized upon actually fighting Leon: Even though they had estimated Leon's strength as highly as possible, they had still underestimated him! A casual arrow fired by Leon required them to use every ounce of their strength just to barely block it!
At this moment, the necromancer, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly barked sharply:
“These invisible hammer arrows will only keep accumulating. We must end this quickly!”
“No more hesitating—activate the undead secret technique and burn our soul fire!”
Hearing this, the undead priest and the undead rogue fell silent for half a second. The soul fire in their eyes flickered with resolve as they finally steeled themselves.
“Soul fire, heed my command... Burn!”
The three undead generals roared in unison, each plunging a portion of their soul into the dancing soul fire within their eye sockets.
As the soul fire erupted violently, the aura and pressure surrounding their bodies surged exponentially. In an instant, they approached the very threshold of the Diamond Rank!
The undead energy within them climbed steadily, finally halting just a hair's breadth away from the Diamond Rank. Constrained by the grade of the undead seed bestowed upon them by Burns V, they ultimately could not break through the threshold of the Diamond Rank even if they burned their souls. However, this strength that was just a hair's breadth away from the Diamond Rank was more than enough—or was it?
As they burned their souls, Leon made his move as well. He slowly raised his right hand, pouring his mental power into the silver ring on his index finger.
The Silver Comet, activate!
Buzz!
In an instant, Sacred Light particles shot out from the ring like marbles, enveloping Leon's body and shrouding him in a brilliant glow. Then, as a strange ripple expanded, Leon's black eyes turned crystal clear and pure white, with a cold, indifferent divinity swirling within them.
Power of the Three Saints, activate!
The Buff Inscription had already applied the effects of the Power of the Three Saints to the Radiance Longbow. Even if Leon activated the Power of the Three Saints again, it would not further buff the Radiance Longbow. However... Leon's target was not to buff the Radiance Longbow, but himself.
In the very next second after activating the Power of the Three Saints, Leon tapped his toe, and his figure suddenly vanished. By the time he reappeared, he was already within fifty meters of the necromancer.
The reason he couldn't get any closer was because the necromancer had already set up a spatial interference spell, restricting Leon's Shatter Space attribute. Otherwise, Leon would have appeared directly beside the necromancer. But... if once wasn't enough, then do it again!
Leon took his second step, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared right in front of the necromancer. And the blue-gold giant that teleported along with him had already drawn its bowstring, locking onto the necromancer at point-blank range—
Twang!
The gold and silver longbow let out a crisp hum! The terrifying light hammer arrow of Sacred Light shot out mercilessly, giving the opponent no time to react.
“Hah!”
In a split second between life and death, the necromancer unleashed his full power, channeling all his mana into his wand and unleashing a surging beam of dark light.
Diamond Rank—Necrotic Beam!
Boom!
The Necrotic Beam and the light hammer arrow of Sacred Light collided head-on, erupting with a deafening explosion. This beam, containing an immense amount of mana, actually managed to completely block the light hammer arrow of Sacred Light!
But before the necromancer could even rejoice, Leon's figure teleported once again, appearing directly behind him. At the same time, a pair of hands burning with pure white Sacred Flame slammed shut, firmly gripping the necromancer in their palms—
“Ahhhhh!!!”
The scalding Sacred Flame scorched his skeletal body, and the blazing spiritual fire tore through the undead's mind.
Sizzle!
In just a single breath, the hands of Sacred Flame, operating at full power, completely incinerated the necromancer! As the hands of Sacred Flame slowly opened, no skeletal remains could be seen in their palms. Only a pile of burnt ashes drifted away in the wind!
