Baron Cullen

"Captain, watch out!"

Seeing this, Jack shoved Tyrone aside and took the hit himself with his shield!

"puff!"

All the crimson orbs slammed into the shield, the force of which caused him to cough up a mouthful of blood!

He was thrown back by the impact and crashed heavily to the ground several meters away, his shield and short-handled axe lying to the side.

"Jack!"

Maria rushed to Jack's side and, without saying a word, cast her healing spell again.

"You annoying trash!" Ella's eyes turned cold, and she immediately prepared to attack Maria.

Suddenly, a figure darted out from the shadows not far away, and two gleaming daggers pierced straight at Ella's back!

Kelly, who had been lurking all along, finally made her move!

She had been waiting for this opportunity!

At the same time, Karen and Allen each launched an attack from one direction.

The three of them almost blocked all of Ella's escape routes, each using their most proficient abilities to mercilessly attack her vital points!

"ridiculous!"

However, Ella seemed to have anticipated this, and her body became strangely ethereal!

Then, all three of their attacks missed!

Before they could react, Ella conjured dozens more magical arrows in mid-air and rained them down like a storm!

The three quickly dodged, simultaneously swinging their weapons to parry.

However, due to the arrow's high speed, Kelly and Allen were still cut in several places, and an indescribable pain immediately came from the wounds!

The two fell heavily to the ground nearby, their faces showing signs of pain.

Only Karen managed to deflect most of the magic arrows thanks to her agile footwork and combat skills, before quickly hiding behind a large tree.

In an instant, four members of the squad were injured and collapsed, leaving only Karen and Maria, who was unable to fight, still able to move.

The situation took an instant turn for the worse!

Ella licked her sharp teeth, her bloodthirsty gaze passing over Karen and locking onto Maria, who was treating the four.

"A second-tier juice healer?" She sneered. "Although your healing power is pitifully weak compared to our blood..."

But to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, let's deal with you first!

As she spoke, the dense extraordinary elements around her surged once more, rapidly condensing into a blood-red spear that exuded a dense, chilling aura!

This is her most powerful killing move.

Third-tier blood magic, Soul-Devouring Blood Spear!

The next moment, the blood-red spear, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, stabbed straight toward Maria's heart!

This attack contained far more power than any of her previous attacks, clearly intended to kill in one blow.

"Maria, get out of the way!"

Kelly, who was receiving treatment, tried to push Maria away, but her weakness prevented her from using any strength at all.

Maria, of course, also noticed the blood-red spear that was hurtling towards her.

But given her reaction time and speed, there was no way she could dodge it.

Not far away, Jack and Allen, who were lying on the ground, were also trying desperately to get up, but the stinging pain from their wounds became more and more intense.

They could only watch helplessly as the blood-red spear drew ever closer to Maria!

Despair instantly filled the eyes of the three.

At this critical moment, Karen suddenly appeared in front of Maria!

His eyes narrowed, and the extraordinary elements within his body began to circulate wildly at an unprecedented speed, before being rapidly channeled into the greatsword in his hand.

Just as the crimson spear charged forward, he suddenly swung his greatsword, drawing a crescent moon arc.

Immediately afterwards, the extraordinary elements on the blade, along with the howling wind, formed an invisible barrier in front of him.

Tier 3 Combat Skill: Severance!

boom!

The blood-red spear slammed into the barrier, producing a deafening explosion!

The violent dark red energy collided violently with the solidified extraordinary elements and then annihilated. The shockwave that escaped directly kicked up all the surrounding dust and gravel, forming a visible ring of air!

Karen groaned, and a mouthful of blood gushed from her mouth.

Moreover, his arms holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, his tiger's mouth split open, and blood instantly stained the sword hilt.

The barrier in front of them was thinning at an alarming rate, which was enough to prove how terrifying the power of the opponent's attack was!

However, Karen had already made plans before casting "Severance".

He didn't expect this move to completely block the blood-red spear...

Simply deviate from it.

hum!

Just as the power unleashed by the blood-red spear was about to completely destroy the barrier, Karen suddenly swung the blade diagonally upwards, while simultaneously spinning his entire body to the side!

scoff!

Suddenly, a sound like cloth being torn apart rang out all around!

The blood-red spear, which contained almost all of Ella's extraordinary elements, was forcibly deflected by this ingenious gesture!

The crimson spear whistled past Karen's cheek and then struck the dense forest a dozen meters behind him!

The terrifying force rippled outwards, not only destroying all the trees within a few meters radius, but also blasting a crater nearly a meter deep at the point of impact!

"What?!"

Upon seeing this, Ella's sinister smile froze instantly.

She watched in disbelief as her sure-fire strike was neutralized in such a way by the young man.

That was a powerful killing move she unleashed by activating almost all of her extraordinary elements!

"No! It's that kid's combat technique!"

She realized the problem almost instantly.

When Karen cast "Severance", she did not stop him, but simply stood there and watched quietly.

The reason lies in her unwavering confidence in her own killer move.

After all, even her master had praised her killing move as extremely powerful, and even a fourth-tier warrior had to take it seriously.

Not to mention a mere second-tier warrior.

But she never expected that this boy she looked down on would actually use that combat technique to deflect her killing move and successfully neutralize what should have been a fatal blow!

Just as Ella was still furious that her killing move had missed, Karen had already charged forward with her greatsword in hand!

The extraordinary elements within him flowed like a rushing river, continuously through the ever-widening pathways.

He held a sword in his right hand, and a scorching and dazzling fireball suddenly condensed in the palm of his left hand!

He suddenly exerted force with his feet, and his figure quickly approached Ella like a fleeting, unpredictable dragon shadow!

"What?!" Ella exclaimed in surprise again, her gaze towards Karen filled with disbelief. "That's...magic?!"

How is that possible?

Isn't that kid a second-tier warrior?

How could they possibly use magic?

Just as a series of questions filled her mind, Karen appeared behind her.

boom!

The blazing fireball struck Ella's back without any doubt.

However, after realizing it was just the most basic first-tier magic, she didn't even bother to pay attention to it.

However, the first-tier magic that she looked down upon unleashed an astonishing power after hitting her!

Ella winced in pain and staggered forward a few steps.

"What did you do?"

She turned around abruptly, but the anger on her face was replaced by astonishment at that moment.

Karen, who had been holding a fireball in his hand, was now wielding several whistling vortexes that were difficult to see with the naked eye!

Without the slightest hesitation, Karen immediately unleashed another first-tier spell, Wind Blade!

The instant the whirlwind was thrown out, he simultaneously gripped his sword and unleashed two waves of energy belonging to the "Violent Triple Slash". Then, using the momentum and power he had accumulated during the movement, he unleashed the second sword strike, the "Spinning Slash"!

In just a few breaths, he had achieved a perfect combination of combat skills and magic!

"That's impossible!"

At this moment, Ella felt a dazzling array of moves coming at her!

It was as if she wasn't attacked by one person, but by several warriors and mages!

She hurriedly raised her hands, trying to activate her extraordinary elements to defend herself, but her expression suddenly changed at that moment!

"Damn it! My power... is exhausted!"

Ella's face turned extremely pale.

Just now, in order to kill Maria directly, and because she didn't take Karen seriously at all, she directly consumed a large amount of extraordinary elements to unleash that move.

But now her extraordinary elements are almost depleted, and she has no way to resist the massive attacks that are about to rush towards her!

puff!

The next moment, Ella's body was instantly enveloped by a barrage of attacks, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust!

The surrounding ground was shaken open with cracks, and the air was filled with ear-piercing explosions!

Even so, you still can't kill me!

She emerged from the smoke and dust in a disheveled state, her body covered in gruesome wounds, her face contorted with rage.

But before she could finish speaking, an even sharper whistling sound came rapidly!

Ella turned her head and saw an incredibly sharp red energy wave suddenly flash in her vision!

After that, she lost all feeling in her lower body.

Karen unleashed the final strike of her "Brutal Triple Slash".

Having gathered all the power from the previous two sword strikes, this one strike directly cut Ella in half at the waist!
