The dueling ground collapsed. Zhao Manyan dragged Violet Ghost's dead body across the ground and tossed it into the air above the members of the Black Vatican.
Most of them were under Violet Ghost's leadership. Even though the death of their leader would not necessarily scare them away, it would still destroy their morale!
”Old Zhao, well done!” Zhang Xiaohou finally smiled in relief when he saw Zhao Manyan had taken Violet Ghost out, even though his face was covered in filth.
”Our backup is here. Our backup is here!” someone started screaming among the soldiers, and the rest of them immediately followed. They acted as if a huge troop of reinforcements had arrived. Their morale was completely different than before!
Zhao Manyan suddenly realized why it had always been so important to take out the enemy's commander first. He realized how morale could significantly influence the strength of an army.
It proved that Mo Fan's decision to kill the Cold Prince was on point. Only killing a Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican would decrease the number of people who crazily worshipped these evil maniacs!
”Send all these scum to Hell!” Zhao Manyan felt the strong morale of the defenders. As the person that had taken down Violet Ghost, he believed his words would stimulate those that had fought so hard to protect the ancient keep!
The thick armor on him fell off as he was yelling. They turned into countless pieces of armor attaching to the defenders, adding a layer of protection to them!
Feng Yufei's eyes flickered with hope when he saw Zhao Manyan's impressive spell.
As expected of the Mage that had resisted the attack of a Ruler-level creature, he was able to strengthen the defense of over a hundred people simultaneously. It was sturdy enough to protect them from some of the relatively powerful Intermediate Spells!
Most Mages could only rely on Equipment for defense. Unfortunately, that Equipment would only last for a certain period of time, so most of them would either die or suffer serious injuries if they were attacked...
As a result, even though the defense was not as effective as when Zhao Manyan was casting it on himself, it was still an extra life for many of the Mages. It meant they could go all out at the enemy!
”The Cursed Beasts can't hurt us anymore. Kill, ignore those Cursed Beasts, kill the Black Clergy and Blue Deacons, and the Cursed Beasts will die too!” Qu Kang yelled.
The Cursed Beasts could not break through the armor that Zhao Manyan had granted the defenders. They immediately launched their counterattacks at the Black Clergy, Blue Deacons, and their ghastly-looking creatures!
”Commander Zhang, there's a Blue Deacon hiding behind those Cursed Beasts. He is the one that killed Captain Fan!” a Battlemage pointed in a direction and shouted.
Zhang Xiaohou immediately looked in that direction and saw a guy hiding in the shadows. He seemed to be commanding the Black Clergy after Violet Ghost died. He kept giving orders to the members of the Black Vatican.
”I'll deal with him!” Zhang Xiaohou said.
He had already sprung ahead two hundred meters while his voice was still lingering in the air. A bunch of Dark Beasts pounced at him, but Zhang Xiaohou had already moved past them while they were lifting their claws. The Dark Beasts completely missed their attacks!
Zhang Xiaohou's speed was shocking. The Cursed Beasts did not have a chance of stopping him, despite their numbers.
The Blue Deacon quickly ran away with Fleeing Shadow when he saw Zhang Xiaohou approaching.
Zhang Xiaohou had killed at least five Blue Deacons and countless Black Clergy so far. They would have seized control of Shenmu Keep if it wasn't for him!
The Blue Deacon did not dare to stay any further, knowing the person that had killed many of his comrades was now targeting him!
”Do you think you can run away?” Zhang Xiaohou was amused.
