Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 172: One vs. Five
Jessica and Cecilia's surprise attack failed, and Eleanor, who followed, was far from a match.

Now the hope of the whole village rests on the two back-row mages, Princess Lina and Evelyn. It all depends on whether they can change the situation of the battle after they take action. They don't ask for direct victory over the powerful Eli, but to cause real trouble to him and create opportunities for the front-row warriors.

"Eli, watch out!"

As Princess Lina shouted, a raging fire dragon rushed straight towards Eli's face, followed closely by a crystal clear jade bowl. Judging from its fluctuations, it was at least a treasure of the holy level.

When Princess Lina made her move, Evelyn was not to be outdone. She waved her hand and summoned a large number of undead creatures. There were no skeleton zombies among them, but only a vast number of black warriors and undead knights.

However, as the number of undead creatures increased and they gradually occupied most of the space on the arena, Princess Lina's previous attack route was also squeezed out by the undead creatures. The surging fire dragon hit several black warriors before it could pounce on Eli.

"Boom"

The fire dragon exploded wildly, and all the black warriors along the way turned into ashes, but at the same time, the blazing fire dragon was also consumed. When it finally pounced on Eli, only a few scattered sparks were left.

"Uh……"

Seeing this scene, Evelyn and Princess Lina were both stunned. Although they had never joined forces to fight an enemy before, they still couldn't bear to watch such poor cooperation.

Fortunately, Princess Lina's fire dragon was quite powerful and cleared away all obstacles along the way. At least it paved the way for the jade bowl sacred artifact and did not let such a precious treasure be wasted on teammates.

The flying jade bowl swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a giant bowl that could cover an area of ​​several square meters. Driven by Princess Lina, the huge jade bowl turned upside down and directly trapped Eli, who was standing still, in the bowl.

"Hurry up! I can control him for five seconds at most, go all out!"

Seeing that the jade bowl successfully captured Eli, Princess Lina hurriedly shouted to her teammates that her jade bowl was a controlling holy weapon. The person covered by it could not cause damage to the outside world, but the people outside could attack the people inside through the jade bowl.

If a normal Saint-level warrior were to activate this holy weapon, he could control the opponent for at least ten seconds. However, with Princess Lina's strength, she could only last for five seconds at most, and this was the result of her being extremely compatible with this holy weapon.

"Take my Meteor Fall!"

"..."

"Let Eleanor hammer you down!"

"Ah~~~"

Almost at the same time, Cecilia, Jessica, Eleanor and Evelyn all burst out with their highest output in a short period of time. They knew that it was impossible to hurt Eli with their strength, so they did not hold back at all.

First, Cecilia's Meteor Drop hit Eli's shoulder, but Eli pushed it away by lowering his shoulder. Then, Jessica's Wind Flower Slash was knocked away by Eli's punch. Then, Eleanor's Rage of the Earth Hammer was in vain and didn't touch Eli at all. Finally, Evelyn's Revenant Scream failed to shake Eli's soul at all.

Princess Lina's activation of the sacred jade bowl was indeed able to restrict Eli for five seconds after his strength was suppressed, but it only restricted his attacks and movements, and could not restrict his defense. Given the strength of the other people, five seconds was not even enough for them to wear down Eli's body-protecting fighting spirit.

"It's okay, come again!"

Seeing that her teammates' attacks were in vain, Princess Lina quickly threw out a rope and tied Eli up while the holy jade bowl had not yet dissipated. After successfully restraining Eli, she started shouting again.

Princess Lina has many treasures, so they have many opportunities. If they fail once, they don’t believe they will fail every time. No matter how strong Eli is, he is still a flesh and blood body, and there will definitely be flaws!

As the beautiful girls thought so, they did not slow down their attacks at all. One after another, sharp attacks landed on Eli with incredible precision, but they were all blocked by his body-protecting fighting spirit and failed to hurt his fur.

Is this the defense of a beginner Saint? Forget about Eleanor and Evelyn's attacks, how come even Jessica and Cecilia's attacks failed to break his body protection? You are too tough!
If the weakest Saint is so terrifying, is there anyone in the world who can cross levels and defeat a strong enemy?
In fact, Eli was not cheating, the strength of the Dou Qi he used was indeed at the level of just entering the Saint rank. The reason why this level of body-protecting Dou Qi could make two Half-Step Half-Saints sigh in despair was purely because the gap between the Saint rank and those below the Saint rank was too huge.

You should know that the entire mortal world and even the demon world call entering the saint level "transcendence into sainthood". The word "sainthood" needs no explanation, and the word "transcendent" naturally represents transcending mortals (demons) and becoming a powerful existence in another dimension.

As long as one has not become a saint, even if one has reached the semi-saint level, he is still a mortal body and no matter how strong he is, there is a limit. Once he becomes a saint, the whole person or the whole demon who has entered the saint level will undergo a sublimation. Not only will the strength improve by leaps and bounds, but even the life form will change to a certain extent.

Of course, entering the Saint level does not mean that you will be invincible. It is just a sublimation of life. What becomes stronger is strength and what increases is lifespan, but it will not change the entire species. A Saint-level strong man will die if his head is chopped off, and he will also die if his head is chopped into pieces.

Saints come after mortals but before gods. Only gods can live as long as the heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon. As long as their souls are immortal, they can be eternally immortal.

Eli is now playing the role of a beginner in the Saint rank. He naturally cannot be compared with gods, but a true Saint is as invincible as a god in front of those who have not yet entered the Saint rank.

Since the historical records of the mortal world began, there have been quite a few peerless geniuses who can challenge Saint-level powerhouses with non-saint bodies, but there are only a handful of peerless geniuses who can defeat Saint-level powerhouses with non-saint bodies. All of these people are peerless geniuses who have dominated one or even multiple eras, and each of them is a terrifying existence that can leave a name in history and be passed down to this day.

Jessica and Cecilia are undoubtedly geniuses among geniuses. They are two of the pillars of the future of the human race. They can be said to be extremely gifted and cannot be compared with ordinary geniuses.

But even if the two of them want to reach the level of rare peerless geniuses in history, they still lack some luck and strength. They both have the ability to challenge the Saint-level strongmen across levels, but it is still a bit difficult to win the battle.

Of course, what is compared here is hard power, and does not include those who rely on soft power like Princess Lina. If any semi-saint can have as many holy artifacts or even semi-artifacts as Princess Lina, then let alone defeating a saint-level strongman across levels, then one person plus a bunch of holy artifacts and semi-artifacts are more than enough to beat two or three saints.

After all, weapons are also part of strength. If you insist on asking a Saint-level warrior holding an ebony sword and a Semi-Saint holding a dragon-slaying sword to win, it would be a bit too much. The current beautiful girl phalanx relies on Princess Lina's control of the holy weapon to launch slightly weak attacks on Eli again and again. If there was no control from Princess Lina, with Eli's fighting style, he would have been killed in the beautiful girl phalanx long ago.

"I still have some stock! Go ahead!"

Princess Lina was still not convinced. After the jade bowl and the rope-like holy artifact, she activated a book of golden pages. Under the golden light emitted by the pages, Eli could not move at all. It was another restraining holy artifact. Princess Lina was really a clingy (physical) little goblin.

As soon as Princess Lina finished speaking, the others continued their violent attacks without even taking a breath. In desperation, Evelyn even raised her staff and hit Eli on the head in between chanting spells, but naturally failed.

Cecilia's knight's lance left afterimages, Jessica's sword energy was everywhere in the arena, and the undead creatures under Evelyn were completely tireless and kept repeating the maximum slashing.

The most powerless one was Eleanor, who was born with supernatural powers. She was obviously very strong and held a powerful hammer of semi-artifact level in her hand, but every blow of her hammer would be easily bounced off by Eli. It felt like she was not hitting Eli, but a huge ball of cotton.

"What should I do? If I can't break his body protection, it's useless to fight him!"

Eleanor, who had a quick temper, became more and more angry as the fight went on. The repeated useless efforts had already made her lose her patience. If it weren't for the other sisters who continued to fight, she would have wanted to throw away the hammer and give up. After all, it wasn't a real fight, and it wasn't shameful to lose to Eli...

"Hold on a little longer, I feel like there's something interesting going on..."

Cecilia took the time out of her busy schedule to respond to Eleanor. She was not saying this to comfort her. In fact, under their series of attacks, Eli's body-protecting Dou Qi did protect him very well, but the total amount of Dou Qi that had just entered the Saint level was limited, and it was impossible for him to endlessly defend against attacks that were close to its defense limit.

Eli's hard power is mainly reflected in his body and soul. His fighting spirit has always been a shortcoming. Even if it is not specifically restricted to the level of entering the Saint level, it itself only has the strongest Saint level stock.

Even madly killing the mutated demon soldiers could quickly consume Eli's fighting spirit, not to mention the situation where he could only passively defend.

"Really? Then I... Oops!"

After hearing Cecilia's words, Eleanor temporarily gave up the idea of ​​playing badly, and Princess Lina on the other side was also very happy after hearing it. However, at the moment when she was busy being happy, the golden page of the book became ineffective, and her next holy weapon had not yet been activated...

As soon as the word "bad" came out, Eli punched back Jessica, who was attacking the most fiercely, and then his fighting spirit burst out, and the gushing energy deflected Cecilia's attack. After temporarily eliminating the two biggest output points of the enemy, Eli quickly took a few steps forward, broke through to Eleanor, and then grabbed Eleanor's hammer.

A warhammer that has advanced to a semi-artifact has its own spirituality, and will spontaneously resist being touched by anyone other than its master, but the spirituality of the semi-artifact itself is not enough to resist the claws that are countless times stronger than its master.

So in just a second, Eli snatched away Eleanor's precious war hammer, and then hit her head with the hammer. Eleanor's big head came into close contact with her own war hammer. Eleanor, who had not yet recovered from the shock of losing her weapon, was hit so hard that her eyes were covered with circles, and then she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the war hammer was her own weapon, and it instinctively protected her. So even though Eli's hammer was powerful, it only knocked Eleanor unconscious and left a big bump on her head.

Eleanor, defeated!

With the weakest Eleanor eliminated, Eli's next target was directly placed on Evelyn. She was the second weakest on the field, and it was her turn according to the order.

Seeing Eli's eyes fall on her, Evelin subconsciously covered her chest, and then she reacted. This was on the ring, not on the bed. Eli was definitely not targeting her to bully her. At most, he was preparing to defeat her easily.

This was indeed the case. After determining his target, Eli quickly took action. With a brutal charge, he knocked away Jessica and Cecilia who were attacking him together. He also dodged another holy weapon activated by Princess Lina. Eli crossed mountains and seas, and knocked the undead creatures and their masters along the way out of the ring.

Given Evelyn's frail body as a necromancer, Eli didn't need to attack her on purpose. With just this one collision, Evelyn fell to the ground as if she had been run over by a truck, and she was unable to get up.

This was because Eli held back in order to avoid actually hurting her. Otherwise, with her body that had only been intensively trained for two days, there was no way she could withstand the impact of a Saint-level powerhouse.

Evelyn, out!

After dealing with the two weakest opponents one after another, the remaining ones on the field are more difficult to deal with. Jessica and Cecilia are of course, as they are both half-step to half-saint now. It is not difficult for him to defeat them with his suppressed strength, but it will be a bit troublesome to win quickly.

As for Princess Lina, this guy only has the apparent strength of the seventh level, but she has too many good treasures on hand, so it is a bit difficult to deal with her in a short time.

Forget it, let's deal with Jessica and Cecilia first. At least he is familiar with them and knows their fighting styles. As long as he can suppress them for a while, he will naturally find a way to get rid of them.

Thinking of this, Eli dodged the holy weapon that Princess Lina was chasing after him, and rushed towards Jessica and Cecilia who were ready to join forces to fight the enemy.

Jessica's sword, Cecilia's gun, Eli's fist, in Princess Lina's eyes, these three things seemed to be played with in a variety of ways, making her dazzled and overwhelmed. Although she has the ability to activate the holy weapons to participate in the battle, it does not mean that her true strength of the seventh level can understand the battle of the holy level.

"What should I do! I can't seem to help you."

Eli who is in action and Eli who is standing still are completely different. At the beginning, Eli did not dodge or evade just to test their true combat power. After trying, he began to fight back. With Princess Lina's strength, she naturally could not locate him.

Princess Lina became anxious after her repeated attacks failed. She saw Jessica and Cecilia getting more and more exhausted, but she could not help at all.
