He lifted his head to take a look, only to see his thick shield bristling with arrows - arrows from the Arrow Captain, with even traces of the Spear Cavalry’s charge left on the shield.
So it was my teammates attacking just now!
The captains, coming back to their senses, all displayed shocked expressions. They didn’t even have ti to clearly see how the Shalivan Phantom dashed out. In the blink of an eye, no, they didn’t even blink, and the Shalivan Phantom appeared instantly in front of Eliphas!
What incredible speed!
Everyone was planning to turn back and rush to aid their captain, but Shalivan Phantom casually launched a Slashing attack, raising a fire wall of Sin Fire before them.
The terrifying high temperature was secondary; staring at the twisted flas for so reason stirred a restlessness in the crowd’s hearts, as if their inner desires were being provoked, making their minds irrational.
The closer they got to the Sin Fire, the more pronounced this feeling beca, because Sin Fire is such a thing, warping the mind, inciting ambition, even leading to more depraved acts.
Though Gong Qiying didn’t unleash the original Sin Fire to ntally corrupt the adventurers, its characteristics could still be utilized to temporarily affect the adventurers’ minds, with the effect of the Sin Fire completely disappearing after the boss fight.
"Sothing’s wrong, stay away from the fire wall! Captain, we can’t get through right now!"
The main force was cut to the other side, and the few hands around Eliphas stood no chance against Shalivan Phantom.
In the end, Eliphas had to bear everything alone.
"Bring it on."
Eliphas assud a thrusting sword stance, with this thrusting sword equipped with precious War Ash gifted by the rcenaries, enhancing his attack with [Determination].
The fire shockwave released by the Sin Blade was barely neutralized by the power of his armant, and before the flas extinguished, he unleashed [Determination], charging at the weakest spot of Shalivan Phantom.
"Bang—"
Just like he had rushed over monts ago, Shalivan Phantom displayed incredibly high speed in combat, with Sanction Greatsword precisely sweeping aside Eliphas’s weapon, followed closely by Sin Blade’s precise and ruthless vertical slash.
Eliphas dodged sideways; each evasion was a gamble with his life, as one hit would an he likely couldn’t escape the next strike.
Attack now while there’s a chance... Just as he thought of this, the two great swords simultaneously struck toward him, forcing him to retreat swiftly, then advance again, betting that the opponent couldn’t react in ti after this strike.
But that wasn’t the end; wings made of branches suddenly unfolded behind Shalivan Phantom, just enough to let him soar into the air to avoid Eliphas’s attack.
Could he be about to unleash magic?
Eliphas preemptively erected a Magic Shield, but Shalivan Phantom dived from above again, still opting for close combat!
He was caught off guard, an "X" shaped wound was slashed across his chest, blood gushing like a fountain. Fortunately, in a mont of panic, he rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the follow-up impaling move.
"Damn!"
The second misjudgnt, White Eagle decided to completely abandon the idea that Shalivan was once a magician and to treat him as a warrior with exceptional swordsmanship.
With this shift in perception, he imdiately felt an openness to the situation.
The moves Shalivan Phantom used were broad and clean, yet compared to the thodical Curse Binders, this enemy’s attacks were more ferocious, often swinging ten consecutive strikes without stopping, with countless unprecedented move changes; this was no mage, but a thorough warrior!
After all, Shalivan had been a Dark Moon Sword before, so his martial arts skills naturally excelled.
Not even three minutes into the battle, Eliphas was drenched in sweat. How many injuries had he sustained just now? He couldn’t recall; without the continual healing magic from the rcenaries beside him, he would probably have turned into a blood-soaked figure by now.
The first ti fighting Shalivan Phantom, it was truly difficult to respond to those moves, needing multiple challenges to beco sowhat familiar with this opponent.
Fast and Slow Blade, a technique frequently used in battles of this world, seed particularly effortless for Shalivan Phantom, counterintuitive to such a degree that even rcenaries accustod to fighting reacted too late.
"I can definitely respond, I can definitely do it."
Eliphas keenly observed all the opponent’s actions, sidestepping the Sin Blade at the mont it ca down, finally dodging a slow blade! This move had already injured him multiple tis before!
If it weren’t for his restrained personality, he would have raised his hands in celebration!
This sense of accomplishnt is truly...
Unexpectedly, right at this mont, though he narrowly dodged the sword’s edge, it was a weapon imbued with magic and fire.
The Sin Blade’s fla erupted, instantly roasting Eliphas half-done, extinguishing his small sense of achievent in its cradle.
Almost out of nowhere, Shalivan picked up speed with Sanction Greatsword in hand, piercing through Eliphas’s chest at unprecedented speed.
It wasn’t over because this was a throw move.
The blow dealt at the mont of success was the heaviest; Eliphas hadn’t regained his composure from the burning pain inflicted by the Sin Fire when his chest was opened like a scene from the Death God, hoisted high into the air, while Dark Moon Magic Power conducted from the sword blade crazily devoured his body.
