volume 3 - Chapter c245 (2/2)

The Pendulum Golem seemed unwilling to be personally involved. He pointed his staff forwards, “Engage!” And with that, multiple layers of enemies surrounded him.

”Cover me, Andrea!” Brendel bellowed, his sword slicing apart the Marionette Swordsman before him.

The vampire girl glanced at him, speaking in an irritable tone as is she did not want to bother about the entire situation, “Got it.”

With a flick of her wrist, a Magic Array began to light up, as well as a large black net that trapped more than half of all their enemies.

It was the Abyss Web, a Dark Element spell that inflicts enemies caught in it with slow, blindness, pain, blindness, pain, deafness, weakening and other debuffs. In any case, it was an overpowered skill. But it had to be, if not, who would be willing to use a spell with such a long cast time?

Immediately, Brendel felt the overwhelmingness lessen. On the other hand, the Pendulum Golem frowned. And that was the first time Brendel had seen the machinery form any sort of emotion. He turned to look at Andrea before raising its staff, commanding two Death Sentinels to charge at the girl.

Normally, a spellcaster would activate a protection spell while slowly retreating in an attempt to counter close combatants.

But Andrea was clearly not normal. She spliced her thumb with a bite, beads of blood forming like rubies on her hand. And with a swing of her arm, the fresh blood formed a crescent arc that shrank mid-air, turning into two slender swords that fell into her hands.

She flourished them once, allowing the twin blood-red swords to reflect the light from Brendel's illuminating crystal; the blades were gla.s.s-like and could be seen through. Finally, she moved sideways and gave out the first hint of her capability as a warrior. She was weaker than the typical Gold-ranker, but stronger than the typical Silver-ranker. They were glistening like jewels, with a shade of scarlet that came signified the fresh blood.

She stepped back. Compared to her talent in Array casting, her abilities as a Warrior was between Silver and Gold-rank. But what was miraculous was her ability to still use magic while sword fighting. It was not long until a certain black mist began to shroud Death Sentinels' heads. There were multiple flashes of green light, evident that they had gotten a lot of debuffs.

Originally early-stage Gold-rankers, the two were weakened to be the same level as Andrea, if not weaker than her.

But there was a drawback to spellcasting. With each time she cast a spell, Andrea’s face gotten even paler. It may be that she was sacrificing her lifeforce each time she cast a spell.

Brendel was keeping an eye on her, and noticing that she was struggling against two Death Sentinels, she telepathically transmitted, ”Draw them nearer to me.”

Although he was currently being surrounded by layers of enemies, he could not stand looking at his female comrade getting bullied by outsiders.

But he did not expect her response, “Hmph!”

She was displeased for being slighted by Brendel.

She stopped suddenly and outstretched her right hand. Red lights glowed in her eyes while she rumbled, ”Blood evaporation!”

In a sudden, the two Death Sentinels were grunting in pain, countless beads of blood started to leak out of their bodies and spiral towards Andrea, forming a swirling ball of blood in her palms before evaporating to nothingness. Her complexion also improved, her rosy cheeks regaining its color once more.

With that attack just now, she became a lot faster and swiftly finished off the two Sentinels. It was just that, with that attack, she could not hold out anymore. She was using both of her swords to support herself on the ground, panting heavily in the meantime.

It seems that she was no longer fit for combat.
