Chapter 71

Amavre's attack failed, and she had no more chances. She watched helplessly as Gao Dun threw the Harmonious Dragon Scale into the mana pool with pinpoint accuracy.

"No!"

Accompanied by Amavre's desperate scream, the evil energy in the mana pool first emitted an unstable fluctuation, then suddenly spread. The entire demon altar was overturned by the energy wind. The Sinful Pearl, which was almost fully charged with energy, quickly lost its luster and its ability to float, falling to the ground.

Amavre's eyes were bloodshot, like a bloodthirsty female beast. She looked at Gao Dun, who was staggering away, gripped the whip in her hand, and pursued him: "I will kill you! I will kill you in a cruel way that even my master would tremble!"

"You already have a hundred reasons to kill me; this is just one more." Gao Dun's face was pale from blood loss, but he still had the leisure to mock her despite facing a frenzied Amavre.

"Light of Mercury!" Gao Dun raised his hands, and two beams of positive energy golden light shot from his palms, heading straight for Amavre.

Unexpectedly, Amavre did not dodge, but instead endured the full damage of the Light of Mercury. Gao Dun saw a layer of dim magical aura appear on her body when she was hit by the spell, which offset part of the damage from the Light of Mercury. He remembered that this was probably a class ability of the Blessed, which granted resistance to a specific energy type every five levels.

Obviously, Amavre, who was in the evil faction, chose to resist radiant energy.

"Do you think this pain will make me back down? Ha ha, I will kill you, and tear your flesh off piece by piece!" Although she had resistance to energy, the leather armor on Amavre's body was still burned through by the Light of Mercury, and even the skin underneath was charred black.

Despite this, Amavre's movements remained agile, and she was not affected by the pain.

Gao Dun's expression was grim, and he moved swiftly, trying to keep his distance from Amavre. Her close combat abilities were no less than those of an elite warrior, and if he were caught, he would not even have the chance to cast a spell.

The energy whip swung wildly, lashing out at Gao Dun. The mage dodged left and right, narrowly avoiding the frenzied attacks. However, he knew that the buffs on his body were about to expire, and if he didn't quickly find a way to defeat Amavre, he would surely die.

After all, he was just a level 5 mage, while the frenzied follower of Lovita was a level 11 Blessed.

Snap!

The energy whip struck the ground again, leaving a deep mark on the hard, cold stone floor. Flying stone fragments grazed Gao Dun's cheek, leaving a wound that bled.

"Damn it!" Gao Dun felt a pain on his face and cursed. If he were in "Ancient Era," facing such a powerful enemy that was almost impossible to defeat head-on, he would either run away or call for help on the world channel, hoping that a nearby high-level player would come to his aid. Or he would simply give up resistance, as being killed would only cost him some experience points and a half-hour of black-and-white TV before he could come back.

Unfortunately, he was now in the real world, with only one life, and the current battle situation did not allow him to run away. So Gao Dun naturally shifted his battle strategy to seeking reinforcements.

Lady Daina's group of Lielia goddess priests were currently fighting against the priests of the evil god. The priests, all wearing heavy armor and wielding blunt weapons and shields, were buffed with various divine spells, engaging in a lively battle. Although the priests, who focused on defense and healing, were not inferior to warriors in close combat, they were clearly more suited to prolonged battles. Therefore, it was unrealistic to expect them to quickly resolve the battle and come to his aid.

Dorn and Shelaya were dealing with the sub-human warriors. Due to the previous large-scale expenditure, Mr. Lannister had used up too many magic scrolls and potions and now had to abandon his lavish fighting style, wielding a noble's rapier and maneuvering among the sub-humans.

The half-elf girl, although skilled in archery, found her shortbow less handy than her usual longbow. She dodged left and right, engaging in a fierce archery battle with the sub-humans and could not spare the time to help.

It seemed that the only one who could be relied upon, or the only one present who could fight Amavre alone, was the Holy Warrior. She was wielding the sword Dawn, charging through the crowd. The sword's strikes created a dazzling light and lines in the dark hall, and with each breath, a Whip Warrior was slain by her.

After using several instant spells in succession, even with his ample mana, Gao Dun found it difficult to bear such intense consumption. Three seconds before the three acceleration effects on his body expired, he pulled a deep blue potion from his dimensional bag and drank it in a few gulps.

This was a new generation of mana potion that Gao Dun had improved over ten times, capable of restoring 50 mana points in one second.

The sweet taste slid down his throat into his stomach, and the potion's effects were quickly absorbed by his body. The mana value displayed on his retinal system rapidly increased, finally reaching full capacity.

Gao Dun gritted his teeth and, using his spell quick-casting expertise, released a Storm of Missiles from his fingertips.

The Storm of Missiles required 20 mana points, and when combined with the quick-casting expertise, the mana cost increased fivefold. In other words, with Gao Dun's current mana, even if it were full, he could only quick-cast one Storm of Missiles.

The cost was not insignificant, but in this critical moment, it was absolutely worth it.

The dense missiles rushed toward Amavre, and the powerful momentum made her expression change. She instinctively tried to dodge. As a level 11 Blessed, she could gain resistance to two types of energy from the blessings of the goddess Lovita. She chose radiant energy, which specifically countered evil creatures, and the more common fire energy. She had no good defense against force-based magic missiles.

Amavre knew that magic missiles were targeting spells and could not be dodged. So she immediately stopped, held her holy symbol, and chanted a spell.

"Energy Immunity—Force!"

A silver shield instantly enveloped Amavre. She smiled smugly, thinking that the hateful mage's magic missiles would be useless against her.

However, for Gao Dun, Amavre's use of a sixth-level divine spell to protect herself gave him more time to breathe. Moreover, his Storm of Missiles was not aimed at her.

Amavre, who was smugly thinking she had countered the mage's spell, was surprised to find that the dozen magic missiles grazed her face and then hit the last few Whip Warriors who were still fighting the Holy Warrior.

The magic missiles shot into the crowd, creating a spray of fresh red blood. Screams of agony followed, as the Whip Warriors, whose lives were ended by Reina's Dawn, struggled in their final moments.

After helping the Holy Warrior finish off the last of the Whip Warriors, Gao Dun quickly called out, "Reina, come quickly!"

Although it was a bit embarrassing to ask a woman for help, which player hadn't relied on others or asked for help to defeat a boss in a dungeon?

Amavre realized she had been tricked by Gao Dun. However, seeing Reina free from the minor enemies and charging at her with her sword, she felt a great sense of danger and had to temporarily let Gao Dun go to face the Holy Warrior.

She raised her holy symbol, called out the name of Lovita, and summoned two mummies.

Facing the two powerful undead creatures, Reina did not retreat. She raised her left hand, which was not holding the sword, pointed at the mummies, and chanted a holy command.

"Undead, Dispel!"

Reina's slender hand emitted a pure white light, enveloping the mummies. The two mummies were dispelled and disappeared from the material plane.

Reina, who had just slain all the Whip Warriors, was in high spirits. Without waiting for Amavre to react, she sprang forward like a bullet, her legs acting like coiled springs.

"Evil-Bane Slash!"

Reina shouted, gripping the sword with both hands. The sword suddenly radiated a blinding silver light, as if it were ignited by silver flames.

A clean, sharp silver line cut through Amavre's body. The light from Dawn suddenly dimmed, and everything seemed to return to its original state, restoring calm.

Amavre's face was frozen in disbelief, and her body suddenly split in two, thudding onto the cold, hard ground. A winding stream of fresh red blood seeped from the corpse, quickly staining the ground.

The high-ranking member of the Three Saints Baptist Church, the Black Messenger, the Blessed of the goddess of torture Lovita, Amavre, was slain by the Holy Warrior Reina in this dark, cold underground hall.

Receiving the system message "Gained 1000 experience points," Gao Dun breathed a sigh of relief. Amavre was indeed powerful, and even without killing her himself, he still gained a substantial amount of experience.

With the leader defeated, the other members of the Three Saints Baptist Church lost their will to fight and were quickly eliminated.

The battle finally ended, but Reina did not stop to check her injuries or treat the wounded. She quickly walked to the demon altar and picked up the Sinful Pearl.

The evil negative energy emanating from the pearl made the Holy Warrior frown slightly. The powerful evil force made her uncomfortable, but fortunately, the enemy's ritual had failed. Otherwise, the Sinful Pearl, once fully charged with energy, would have been terrifying.

Gao Dun took this opportunity to quietly bend down and search through Amavre's severed body. Although it was disgusting, for a principled veteran player, how could he not search the body for loot after defeating an enemy?
