Chapter 46 Burned Out
"Do you want to take me on alone?"
The envoy looked at Xia Tong, who was approaching step by step, and sneered:
"Don't you need your ashes to help?"
Xia Tong sneered and didn't reply to his nonsense.
The next second, he bent his right knee and shot forward like an arrow!
The envoy's eyes narrowed, and the holy mark on his finger once again shone brightly.
An invisible black mist suddenly appeared and instantly filled the space between the two.
Xia Tong stood in the thick black fog, closing her eyes and concentrating.
"No sound?"
As expected of the church's secret envoy, he's skilled at underhanded tactics.
The demi-human queen's staff in his right hand slowly emitted a light, accumulating magical power.
"Crystallization scattering!"
Suddenly, dozens of fragments of brilliance shot forward.
At the same time, relying on her intuition, Xia Tong turned around again and fired a shot to the right.
Two consecutive crystal scattering attacks created a fan-shaped attack range that almost completely covered every blind spot around Xia Tong.
Finally, during the second magical explosion, Xia Tong heard the sound of tiny crystal fragments colliding with metal.
To the left rear!
Xia Tong turned sharply and rushed towards that direction.
With Xia Tong's current strength of 18 points, using the Monarch Army Straight Sword, this weapon seems too light and too agile!
With a "whoosh" sound.
The longsword danced in the air, stirring up the black mist, and pierced straight towards the location of the secret envoy.
"So fast!"
The envoy cried out in alarm and hastily parried.
The king's straight sword slashed fiercely at the envoy's broadsword.
Sparks flew everywhere in the black mist.
Right now, combat technique—Stepping Upward Slash!
Xia Tong gripped the sword with both hands, using all his strength in this strike, channeling his spiritual power into the blade.
He took a sudden step forward, and the King's Army straight sword whistled through the air as he thrust it upwards.
Using the agility of a straight sword to execute uppercuts as heavy as a greatsword, the speed and power are simply too great.
"Bang!"
The envoy was sent flying by the immense force.
He was about to struggle to his feet again when Xia Tong, who had somehow switched to the Sinner's Shield, lunged at him.
Shield Charge!
Just as the envoy was about to gain his footing, Xia Tong, shield in hand, rammed him straight away.
The sharp thorns and iron spikes on the Sinner's Shield pierced mercilessly through his cloak and leather armor.
Instantly, blood stained the shield.
Above the shield, the witch's eye, which had been closed, seemed to be shrouded in a bloodthirsty red light.
Immediately afterwards, the king's straight sword pierced the envoy's body from top to bottom.
The latter cried out in agony.
Then he crossed his arms, and a golden wave of light suddenly rose up, exploding outwards from him.
Prayer—Rejected!
Xia Tong suddenly felt an irresistible force strike her, and the shockwave sent her flying backward.
The envoy stood up shakily, pulled out the royal army's straight sword stuck in his body, and blood gushed out.
He looked at Xia Tong and the group of menacing ashes around him, and suddenly let out a loud howl.
The sound didn't seem to come from a human throat; it was more like the agonizing scream of a soul being burned by flames.
With this roar, a visible, murky yellow vapor rose up around the envoy.
The roar of Chapolili!
As he howled, Xia Tong suddenly felt himself become manic, his mind filled with chaotic whispers, and he felt like he was going crazy!
Fortunately, the Sinner's Shield in his left hand occasionally sent a cool sensation through him, which slightly suppressed his agitation and allowed him to barely maintain his rationality.
But Irena, who was in the distance, couldn't take it anymore.
She already had a keen hearing, and this soul-piercing scream caused her immense pain.
Melina reacted quickly and covered her ears.
Melina then emitted a soft golden light from her hands, causing Irena to fall into a deep coma, thus protecting her sanity.
Xia Tong waved her hand and gave the order for a general offensive.
Instantly, all the ashes rushed forward.
The lone wolf was the fastest, tearing viciously at the crazed envoy.
Xia Tong rushed over as well.
He knew that although "Shapolili's Roar" had huge side effects, it could greatly increase the caster's damage.
This guy is about to unleash his deadly move.
Just as Xia Tong had predicted, after the roar, the envoy seemed to have lost the ability to feel pain.
Or perhaps, pain became the fuel for his strength.
The fanged imp's forked axe slammed into him, the blows reaching the bone, but he seemed oblivious.
The envoy's pupils emitted a frenzied fire far more turbulent and intense than before.
"Go to hell!!"
The flames, like a raging fire dragon, burned straight towards Xia Tong.
A fiery blast that pierces the sky!
Xia Tong had no way out, but he had teammates.
On the other side, the Grek soldiers wielding large shields and the headless knight Ruthel stood side by side atop the tower, using their shields to firmly block the path of the Mad Fire.
But this yellow, manic fire seems to have a direct effect on the mind.
Even with my eyes closed and a shield in place, the burning sensation in my soul was still of no use.
It felt as if the cries of pain from millions of people were ringing in Xia Tong's ears at the same time.
Fortunately, Xia Tong is a mage-type warrior who mainly focuses on "concentration".
His concentration level of 25 points gave him extremely high mental resistance.
At the same time, the Sinner's Shield itself can also significantly increase focus and raise the sanity cap.
The frenzy that was trying to devour Xia Tong's reason seemed to be struggling quite a bit.
Just as the envoy was frantically spewing out insane fire.
Ruthel moved.
She suddenly hurled the knight's lance in her right hand.
The spear carried the deathly aura and yellow sparks characteristic of the Temple Knights.
"drink!"
The spear pierced through the envoy's body in an instant, pinning him to the ground.
He convulsed violently, his manic episode abruptly ended, and he collapsed to the ground.
The two fanged little devils continued to relentlessly stab and bleed him.
The three stray wolves were still tearing at him relentlessly.
The excessive release of high-level prayers had already exhausted his spirit, and with this fatal blow, he could no longer stand up.
"Do you see that girl behind you?"
"The smell of ashes on her... she was destined to burn too... just like me! Hahahaha!"
The envoy laughed maniacally, cursing with his last breath.
Immediately afterwards, flames of self-immolation began to erupt from his body.
At the same time, the manic fire went out of control, bursting forth from his eyes like a volcano, shooting out in all directions.
"Back off!"
Xia Tong roared.
All the ashes were moved back in unison.
However, one lone wolf was hit by the burst of flames, and its entire body instantly burst into flames.
Fortunately, Xia Tong reacted quickly and recalled its ashes in time, preventing further damage to its spirit.
It only takes a few breaths.
This powerful ecclesiastical envoy was reduced to a charred corpse.
A charred body, completely carbonized inside and out.
A stream of runes flowed into Xia Tong's body, adding 1757 points.
Xia Tong gently tapped his charred body with her staff.
With a "whoosh," the entire corpse disintegrated, turning into ashes that danced in the wind.
Bright moonlight streamed down from above, shining through the broken dome into the pilgrimage church.
Xia Tong looked at the envoy's ashes, which had been scattered by the wind, and cursed fiercely:
"Damn it, I was hoping to capture him alive to get information from him."
"It's no use. He's a madman whose mind has been bewitched by the Mad Fire. We won't get anything out of him."
Melina appeared behind Xia Tong, her tone still cold, but clearly weak.
