Chapter 1358 - The Sacred Flame Incarnate (2/2)

Hao Ren was holding a pair of swords and keeping up with Lily’s pace all the time. If Lily’s brute force attack were successful, he would take that advantage to end the enemy. But if Lily was in trouble, he could be of help in time.

The trio’s attacks were synchronized, but the Sacred Flame Incarnate was no slouch. When Lily thrust her Frostfire Claws, the enemy brought up its old trick again by breaking itself up and teleporting itself to the other side of the chamber.

It was the unfair and “bugged” talent of the demon hunters that gave Hao Ren a big headache.

Hao Ren wondered how the mage emperors of that time gave the mortal creation such a nature-defying ability.

The Sacred Flame Incarnate completed the near-field teleportation and reconstruction almost instantaneously. Her landing spot this time was near to a group of apprentice mages, who lacked combat skills and experience. They froze when the enemy suddenly popped out before them. When a burst of energy that appeared out of nowhere sent one of them flying and breaking his ribs, the apprentices only came to their senses and summoned various magic shields to protect themselves.

The reaction of the teacher of the apprentice mages, Master Hymer, was much quicker. He drew an unpretentious-looking wooden staff and pointed it at the Sacred Flame Incarnate while chanting in words that no humans could have pronounced.

Beams of colorful light shone from the above and trapped the Sacred Flame Incarnate like a cage. Immediately, many tiny energy sparks appeared between the beams, filling up the gaps to form a robust seal.

The Sacred Flame Incarnate roared in anger, and her body became unstable and solar prominence-like flame began to burst out and slammed on the energy barrier. The energy barrier began to emit a cracking sound that was disgusting to the ear.

Hao Ren quickly warned. “The barrier won’t hold her in! She is resistant to all types of shackle spells!”

It was yet another “bugged” talent of the demon hunters, who had an affinity for and was resistant to all types of magic. They could almost always break away from energy-based restraints.

That was why they were known as the Caster Nemesis on Earth. Even in Holletta, the Ancients homologous to the demon hunters had the same reputation.

It was not that Hymer did not know about the talents of the Ancients; he would have been more careful if he were to face one. But what happened here had caught Hymer off guard. The “fire figure” was nothing like the Ancients that he knew; the archmage did not immediately link the two together. He thought it was just an out-of-control energy creature that came out from the old lab, which was not uncommon. He had seen it a couple of times before, and the elemental barrier was indeed the most effective response to energy being.

But elemental barrier could not hold in the Sacred Flame of the demon hunters.

The energy structure of the elemental barrier began to collapse after the prominence slammed it for a few times. Almost at the moment of its collapse, the silver flames disappeared in front of everyone.

“Everyone, be careful!” Hao Ren held a pair of swords in his hands in high alert. “She is still in the chamber. Her teleporting range is confined to her field of vision! Becky, bring your knights and guard the exit. Don’t let her get away!”

Becky responded at once and brought a group of knights rushing toward the exit. Hymer had closed the first door behind him after everyone had entered earlier. But the door had now lost its magic energy and was just a regular wooden door albeit a little more robust than the normal ones. The monster would be able to break out if no one was guarding the entrance.

“I think, that guy has sneaked away,” the Godslayer began to babble. “Guys, it’s been a few seconds, and she still doesn’t show up. Maybe she could walk through the wall in stealth mode and is now laughing at your guy outside. Am I right, bro?”

The Worldbreaker sword shook a little and replied with an “Oh.”

Just when Hao Ren was also in doubt, Lily suddenly shouted, “She must still be here—I can feel it!”
