At this mont, the three Thorn Saint Warriors blocked by the Tree-n revealed their twisted true forms amid roars.
The one Bai Pu detected had a twisted true form of a creature with a hunched neck, covered in blood-red tumors. The sword and shield, and armor he once wore had mysteriously vanished.
Such a Level 7 Enhanced Elite Template Thorn Saint Warrior, after revealing his true form, had a Life Value as high as 4820!
He roared and struck a Tree-man with a claw, sending wood chips flying and causing it to stumble back!
The other two Thorn Saint Warriors also completed their transformations, one becoming a creature on all fours with a blood-red long tongue, the other resembling a monster with its back full of blades, like a standing porcupine.
In a re ten seconds, the four Tree-n were torn apart by three Thorn Saint Warriors leading the fanatics!
It's worth ntioning that even the Elite Level fanatics had additional Life Value boosts—according to Bai Pu's detection, the Elite Level Life boost was 700 points, and those Thorn Fanatics without Endurance Specialization had total Life Value over 2000 points.
The Border Town Wanderer's initial strike targeted the lower-level fanatics. With a blow imbued with Wind Blade Mystical Arts, he aid for a quick kill before dealing with other fanatics.
His assigned task was to swiftly clear the lower-level fanatics.
His single attack indeed dealt terrifying damage; despite being under Level 1 suppression, it could still inflict more than 500 points of actual damage. With an average Level 6 Elite, he could truly have been a one-hit kill.
But he faced an Advanced Elite, who had more than 700 points of Life boost, raising total Life Value over 2000!
It would take at least 700 points of vital attack damage to possibly trigger an instant kill!
So the Border Town Wanderer's damage was still insufficient. The downside quickly beca apparent, as injured and fallen Thorn Fanatics swiftly got up, forming a pincer attack with other fanatics!
The surprise attack did not achieve the desired results, and the adverse outco quickly manifested.
The Overlord, lunging at Father Arius, was blocked by several Thorn Fanatics before he could get close!
"Get lost!" The Overlord's black-red long halberd suddenly cleaved down, releasing a black-red lightning Qi Force that knocked several Thorn Fanatics back, piercing through the abdon of one and lifting it high before slamming it down hard.
But even with this swing, he couldn't shake it off!
"Praise the Holy Mother, praise the suffering!"
The Thorn Fanatic gripped the tip of the black-red halberd's long handle tightly, preventing it from being withdrawn from his abdon. This action was akin to having the cold, sharp blade of the halberd stirring within his intestines, subjecting him to constant sharp damage, from an internal attack that ignored armor!
The Thorn Fanatic held on for a full three seconds.
But in those three seconds, the Overlord paid a painful price. The blood-red long tongue of the twisted Saint Warrior coiled around and bound him tightly! Several fanatics nearby thrust their war spears, splattering blood.
"Aaah!" The Overlord roared, as a large amount of lightning Qi Force exploded in rings from his body!
The blood-red long tongue was shaken off, while the Overlord gave a jolt to the halberd, as the black-red Qi Force spread out, finally shattering the Thorn Fanatic desperately clinging to his beloved weapon, falling dead on the spot.
However, the Overlord's face was slightly pale. He hadn't expected that rely dealing with a few elites and an Enhanced Elite's encirclent would consu so much Professional Energy, making him inclined to retreat.
"Retreat." The Border Town Wanderer whistled and retreated quickly. He also managed to kill a fanatic in this brief ti, but then two twisted Saint Warriors entangled him. The Life Value exceeding 4000, damage reflection ability, and increasing power of these adversaries were indeed troubleso.
Bai Pu squinted his eyes. If he and the Blood Spider were to act in the missionary village directly, they would likely be more embarrassed than the group of the Border Town Wanderer. The difficulty of the Advanced Spirit Realm was completely beyond these Interdiate Awakened geniuses' expectations.
The Border Town Wanderer and Lan Feng surely knew the difficulty of the Advanced Spirit Realm, but only from Advanced Awakeners' word of mouth!
They hadn't recklessly initiated an attack at first until they happened upon Chen Ge and the Overlord and thought that with the combined power of four, they should be able to challenge a missionary team, thus taking action boldly.
However, as the saying goes, "He who drinks water knows how warm or cold it is."
The four had never experienced venturing into the Advanced Spirit Realm. It wasn't until they actually engaged with Advanced Natives that they realized they underestimated these opponents!
Retreating didn't an it was impossible to fight. After all, the four were geniuses, with Chen Ge and the Border Town Wanderer being particularly formidable.
But any further confrontation might result in casualties, forcing them to use forced departure items to leave.
It was better to withdraw from combat first, then plan again slowly!
"Take heed, this is the power granted by the gods, this is the divine grace received by embracing pain!"
Father Arius raised his hands high, shouting to the sky, "Repent now, you blasphers, I will use your blood to please the great Our Lady of Thorns!"
With Father Arius's proclamation, his body underwent a horrifying mutation, rapidly swelling into a monster with seven tentacles and seven eyes, resembling the "Hundred-eyed Demon" from the Heart Demon World, but in size and aura, vastly exceeding it.
The seven tentacles suddenly converged, and the seven eyes gathered together, simultaneously bursting out with a strong light.
Sizzle!
A dark beam shot out.
The Border Town Wanderer shifted position thrice, but the dark beam adjusted its trajectory each ti, curving to strike him in the back!
In an instant, the Border Town Wanderer's body stiffened.
This was Arius's powerful control skill—Suffering Confession!
The Border Town Wanderer imdiately used a decoupling skill, successfully breaking free from the Confession state with priority cancellation. But he then shook all over, staggering as if drunk, with his Movent Speed reduced by at least 40 points!
[Suffering Confession] Additional Effect: Residual Sin!
"If you do not sincerely repent for your sins, you will remain entangled in sin!" The monster that Father Arius beca bood with a thunderous voice.
