You are all my wings...

"Damn it, this longevity seed has already advanced to level four."

"It seems that my previous judgment was wrong. It was this long-lived creature that took away the crimson monster before."

"Damn long-lived creatures! With their racial advantages, they easily crushed my years of accumulated life alchemy!"

"Why is the creation of the world by the gods so unjust?"

A surge of intense anger rose within Andrio.

This anger was partly due to the fact that he had been so easily and miserably beaten by two level four opponents.

Another part, and more importantly, is anger at the unique advantages that long-lived species have!

Why is it that just because she's born a different race, she can so easily possess a huge amount of magic power and easily get a rare job?

Why!

In a fit of anger, he snapped.

Then, he immediately regained his composure.

As a powerful figure from the Holy Blood School who has survived divine punishment for many years, anger only increases his motivation for revenge, but does not interfere with his current battle strategy.

At this moment, the power of the Holy Annihilation finally reached its limit, and Andrio landed steadily on the ground.

As the eighth lance of judgment was about to strike, he suddenly pressed his hand against the ground, gathered his magic, and activated the life alchemy spell.

BOOM!!!

The eighth shot precisely struck the crack in Andrio's chest, gathering all the damage inflicted before it passed through in one breath.

At the same time, its power remained undiminished, carrying Andrio backward for more than ten meters before embedding itself in the wall next to the entrance of the ninth branch road behind them.

This was clearly a successful kill, yet it made Iris and Berylita frown.

"Success?"

"But why does it feel wrong?"

The two exchanged a glance, and Burelita quickly began chanting, preparing to burn Andrio's body with Holy Blaze to finish him off.

As someone who is constantly in a fighting environment, Britta is very adept at this.

However, in the next instant, Andrio's body suddenly turned into a pool of blood, seeping into the ground at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye, and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye.

"He didn't die. He must have sensed something was wrong and sacrificed some of his magic power to escape using life alchemy. I didn't expect him to have even turned his own body into an alchemical puppet. No wonder when I fought him last time, not only Holy Annihilation Magic, but other spells had a hard time harming him."

Brillita frowned as she gave her judgment.

"Is it possible that he didn't run away, but instead regrouped and is preparing to fight us using a different method?"

"Iris asked."

"Has he changed his target?"

As the two remained on guard, a sudden sense of dread crept into their minds, and they instinctively looked in Leon's direction.

But then, not far from where Leon was struggling with Machiru, a stream of blood suddenly seeped out of the desert and lunged at Leon.

"Damn it!"

"Watch out behind you, Leon!"

As they spoke up to remind him, the two quickly drew out the fastest spells they could cast and blasted them at Leon's back.

Iris cast the basic spell, Light Cone.

Berylita casts the Basic Holy Furnace (there are three versions: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced, all with the same name).

In an instant, an astonishing magical brilliance burst forth as the magic collided, the intensity of the light quickly obscuring everyone's vision for a moment.

As the blood rushed forward, it was clearly disrupted by these two sudden attacks, slowing its speed by a moment.

After all, it was only a basic spell; it was already quite remarkable that it could even interfere with him.

This brief moment of interference was enough for Lyon to use Shadow Leap and escape the combat zone.

call out!call out!

With two consecutive shadow leaps, he instantly flashed more than ten meters away.

After glancing at the pool of blood that Andrio had transformed into, he quickly recognized what it was.

Lyon knew that if he were splashed with this blood, his body would instantly become nourishment for Andrio to restore his body and magic.

This blood-soaked liquid is definitely not an ordinary technique.

Rather, it was the means by which Andrio survived when Astalia punished the Blood School more than thirty years ago.

Original blood desquamation.

It is the strongest survival skill derived from "Blood Transformation," the core professional skill that Andrio acquired after becoming a Life Alchemist.

His combat strength wasn't greatly diminished, but his defense was significantly weakened, which must have made him feel insecure. After all, with his skin damaged, Saint Annihilation now had the potential to instantly shatter his inner body.

So he was planning to finish someone off before leaving?

Or perhaps we could switch to a surprise attack tactic and prolong the battle?

Whether it's the former or the latter, it seems he's planning to take down Leon, who performed well in the previous four magic systems.

While the four knights were quite skilled in combat, Leon, who was able to hold his own against Machiru for several minutes, would clearly be more memorable to Andrio.

Even if Macchiato intentionally or unintentionally held back, she's no ordinary character.

call out!!!!

The blood froze in place for a moment, then burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

It looks like they're planning another sneak attack.

Lyon cursed inwardly, "This old bastard is a fifth-level expert, doesn't he have any shame?"

"Elise, throw the lance of judgment!"

Lyon shouted, calling for his teammates.

"But which direction should we bet?"

Although the arbiter's spear has a guaranteed hit, if the direction of the force is off, its power will be reduced.

The inability to see the enemy prevents the Executioner's Spear from unleashing its full speed and ferocity.

"Throw it into the sky!"

Lyon said firmly.

Chapter 97 Cursed Serpent

Elizabeth was startled, but then she understood what Leon meant.

"As expected of you, my calm and wise commander."

Without hesitation, she hurled the newly formed spear of judgment toward the dome.

She didn't throw it in a straight line, but rather in a slight arc, tossing it towards the sky above Lyon.

call out!!!!

The spear of light shot out rapidly and began to fall in a parabolic trajectory near the dome, which was a hundred meters high.

As it fell, the spear of light was attracted by some kind of 'connection', deflected its direction, and its speed suddenly reached its limit under the influence of gravitational potential energy.

laugh!!!!

The shot pierced the ground instantly, creating a deep hole.

It is precisely by utilizing the fact that the materialized spear of light has weight, and can be accelerated and its direction adjusted by gravity, that this spear does not lose too much speed.

Although, in essence, using the properties of light to accelerate at the beginning would have been the best option, for the time being, this shot has clearly achieved the result that Leon wanted.

That is to accurately mark Andrio's location!

If it were any other throwing method, Andrio would definitely have quickly moved away from it.

In preparation for this follow-up attack, Leon activated Shadow Leap to move around on the ground before the shot hit the ground, avoiding being targeted by Andrea.

The instant the spear tip rapidly locked onto the new direction, Leon leaped out of his shadow form and jumped toward the direction the Executioner's Spear had anchored.

Then touch the ground with your hands to gather magic power.

Pseudo-intermediate water and earth elemental magic, Ground Freezing Cold Wave!

Magic -12.

This is a new ultimate move he created by combining the maximum power of the Frost Tide Magic with a portion of the basic earth magic, Earth Solidification.

It's the ground-based version of the magic of cold waves.

The development concept is similar to that of a small swamp, which can freeze the ground on a large scale and freeze enemies that are good at using the ground to hide.

This was one of his many pseudo-intermediate spells, but he rarely used it in actual combat because he had never found a suitable use for it.

If you don't change your class to an elemental mage, you can't use it all at once.

Clap la la!

As the magic was activated, the surrounding desert, within a 20-meter radius and six meters underground, was completely frozen!

A chilling aura suddenly emanated from the sand, and the golden gravel under the light appeared a dark color.

In the air, a large amount of water vapor condenses and adheres to the sand surface, forming rough, impurity-rich, dark frost.

At this moment, Iris's second scythe arrived, striking a spot three meters away from the first scythe.

puff!

A few drops of blood splattered.

Clearly, at the last moment, Andrio moved beneath the sand, successfully using it to block the previous judgment spear.

However, this time, Lyon's ambush and the freezing cold wave successfully trapped Andrio, leaving his body covered in blood in a semi-frozen state, preventing him from moving quickly.

Then came the third and fourth shots.

Blood continued to splatter on the ground, causing injury to Andrio.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to get yourself killed by getting distracted at a time like this?"

BOOM!!!

Leon was struck from behind, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and his body was pulled forward by the immense force, flying seven or eight meters before tumbling on the ground.

He nimbly leaped up, dodging another vine that continued to pursue him.

A burning sensation ran down his back, causing a slight ache in his shoulder muscles. He dared not swing his sword recklessly, dodging while simultaneously using a water healing technique to speed up the repair of his shoulder injury.

Although she had just successfully created difficulties for Andrio, she was indeed distracted and was given an opportunity by Macchiato.

And seeing that Andrio was losing the battle, wouldn't she also want to change her fighting style and switch to more powerful magic?

As Leon was rolling around, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Macchiato suddenly waved her wand, and a dark, gloomy magical light flashed once more.

He sensed something was wrong; the opponent had indeed quickened their pace, so he immediately activated Shadow Leap without hesitation.

call out!!!!

His body transformed into a shadow and vanished into the distance.

With a sizzling sound, countless pitch-black venomous snakes sprang up from where he had landed, chasing after Leon.

These jet-black venomous snakes were only five or six centimeters thick and one or two meters long, but wherever they passed, the sand surface instantly turned into a bubbling, black swamp, and the gravel melted into a translucent, multicolored liquid.

"Is this Machiru's Cursed Serpent?"

Leon felt a chill run down his spine when he caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye.

I was just wondering if Macchiato was influenced by the halo of trust, so she was holding back against me.

So why did they suddenly resort to such ruthless tactics?

So, they really couldn't withstand the influence of the winds of war?

What he didn't know was that Macchiato didn't decide to attack so viciously just because she saw Andrio at a disadvantage.
