NOVPUBThe air in the sanctuary seemed to shudder at the terrifying aura emanating from the Goddess of Destruction.
"Die, all of you!!!"
The Goddess of Destruction was swinging her sword with full force, transforming hot flames into countless deep red serpents, sweeping over the Executioner and Paladin blocking her path.
Even if the Executioner and the Paladin clung tightly to their weapons for protection, they could not withstand the deadly assault of the Goddess of Destruction, who had fired up her combat power. Their armor began to gradually crumble, and their faces were marked with scorched bloody traces from the sporadic flying sparks.
The Priest’s strongest Divine Arts of Healing were already deployed behind the Executioner and the Paladin, pouring down the glory of divine favor, rapidly healing their wounds.
Under the relentless agony and rage, the attack of Goddess of Destruction, Adelis, became even more ferocious and powerful. But her sanity was noticeably reduced, no matter how she swung her magic sword, it was as if it could be resisted or even evaded by the combined efforts of the Executioner and Paladin.
The rhythm being somewhat disrupted, she was instead continuously counterattacked by the male guards.
At this moment, the male guard once again took the opportunity to slip into the shadows, attempting to circle around to the back of the Goddess of Destruction.
Under the erosion of pain, the Goddess of Destruction, Adelis, acts like a wounded wild beast.
She understood that the only way to free herself from the pain was to kill the nauseating White Magician at the back.
"Lanci—!!"
From afar.
"!"
Seeing the rage filled expression on the Goddess of Destruction, Adelis, Lanci knew she was about to curse, he didn’t hesitate and put a [Friendly Communication] on her.
Suddenly, Adelis’ voice seemed to choke.
She incredulously stared at Lanci, only feeling like her throat was being scraped by a knife, she couldn’t even express her anger through words.
"Even if you are a heretic, you shouldn’t use foul language. It’s not right."
Lanci explained with clear logic.
"..."
At this moment.
The air in the entire sanctuary seemed to have become particularly quiet.
Only the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard.
The Goddess of Destruction, Adelis, was the source of this eerie silence, like a black hole sucking up all the sounds.
The sense of danger bursting from her made all the Executioners and Paladins involuntarily shiver. They were on high alert.
They all knew.
Lanci has upgraded her fury state again!!
In the back row, in front of Lanci, the priest who was maintaining the Boundary Shield with his tin cane instinctively started trembling sensing the horrifying pressure from the Goddess of Destruction from afar.
"Bro, that’s enough, don’t stack her status anymore... "
The priest was already scared.
He discovered while Lanci’s Magic Cards didn’t possess "taunt," "rage," or "berserk" effects, every card he played seemed to have these effects!
Even though Lanci’s operation could drastically accelerate the pace of the battle, providing hope to clinch a victory before sundown.
The most likely outcome now would be the enraged Goddess of Destruction charging at them recklessly and killing everyone in the back row!
At the moment when everyone was on highest alert.
The now somewhat indescribable Goddess of Destruction turned into a black arrow with a piercing sound and charged straight at Lanci!
The male guard who saw this immediately reacted. He tried his best to slit the throat of the Goddess of Destruction.
However, what he didn’t expect was that the Goddess of Destruction didn’t evade or dodge. Leveraging the fact that killing the traitor would attract the Count of the Blood Clan, she gambled that the male guard would not dare to kill her. Ignoring the existence of the male guard, a ring of igneous flame burst around her, flipping the male guard over and leaving a deep wound on her back.
The Executioner, wearing heavy armor and a tattered red cape, charged forward like a frenzied bull, his axe fiercely smashing towards the Goddess of Destruction, Adelis. Following close behind was the Paladin, his Sword of Sacred Light drawing an arc in the air, bringing up a gust of wind, smashing towards the Goddess of Destruction like thunder, the air was filled with a tranquil electricity!
But now, the Goddess of Destruction, without any defense, bore the brunt of this onslaught. As if a primitive beast, she continued to brawl without a break, savagely swinging her sword and gravely injuring the Executioner and Paladin, then without rest, she advanced again.
"Has she gone mad?!"
The Executioner heaved tiredly, panic and refusal flashing in his eyes. His body burnt by the scorching flames, each breath brought intense pain.
The shield of the Paladin had been knocked away, the armor on his chest cut open by the sword’s power, spilling out fresh blood.
Even though they had urgently pursued the Goddess of Destruction from the first moment, catching up to her terror-stricken, successful escape was simply impossible!
Even the Priest had to turn and urgently launch a spell to block her, his orb of light transforming into a scorching sun aimed directly at the Goddess of Destruction, Adelis.
But Adelis was too fast, like a black hawk in a dive, her sword like the Death God’s scythe, pointing straight at Lanci, determined to kill him no matter what!
"Who can make her stop!!!"
Male guards chased after her, creating a gust of wind, but no matter what, they couldn’t catch up with Adelis’s flickering figure. They shouted anxiously.
At this moment.
The whole sanctum was shrouded in tension close to the point of collapse.
Both sound and time seemed to slow down tremendously.
Each Challenger’s expression could not hide their panic, all they could do was watch as the uncontrollable Adelis was about to reach the rear lines.
The decisive moment was probably the next one.
The defensive line was broken.
If no one could stop the sudden onslaught of the Goddess of Destruction, allowing the three close-combatants to catch up and intercept her, the backlines would be massacred. The Challengers, who lost the critical support of the backlines, would be defenseless against Adelis!
If they could just delay her, then they still had a chance to battle once more.
Even if a few of them would be killed by Adelis, they still had a chance to win!
There was only a few more meters left to the protective light shield.
The face of the heavily wounded Goddess of Destruction was full of raging madness, as though she had used up all the strength in her body, wanting to deliver death to Lanci.
Still, the Priest resolutely stood at the front line of the backlines, gritting his teeth, facing the approaching Goddess of Destruction.
The light shield he was maintaining could perhaps block one attack from Adelis.
"Come at me! You damn heretic!"
Even if he had to give up his life just to buy them one more second, their chances of victory would increase!
But.
Nobody noticed that there was one person who remained calm.
From beginning to end, unchanged.
Lanci walked past the Priest’s shoulder, his steps silent, his posture steady and calm, as though completely detached from the raucous battlefield.
He didn’t show any fear, lightly holding a Magic Card that was encircled by a purple glow in his hand.
The next moment.
Accompanied by a loud crash, metal struck against the floor tiles, causing sparks to fly.
The whole sanctum fell into a grave-like silence.
Because everyone saw—
A look of shock and disbelief on the Goddess of Destruction’s face, as she heavily knelt before Lanci!!
The heavy impact from suddenly kneeling during the dive caused such intense knee pain that she couldn’t stand up for a moment.
Under the colored-rose window, Lanci seemed to be bathed in the light of the sun, his majestic figure akin to a deity overlooking a humble petitioner.
Lanci stood unmoving, his gaze calm as he looked at the Goddess of Destruction.
"You see the Headmaster, why don’t you worship?"
