791 Nice sho (2/2)

She was currently busy with battling the snake head and didn't notice the gray snake attacking her until it was too late to dodge it. Neither was anyone else able to help her.

Yukari felt like she saw death itself when the gray snake's pitch-black maw approached her.

Dodge spell, ”Paper Substitution”!

Seiji used one hand to activate the lifesaving magic spell he had prepared for everyone.

Right before the gray snake bit into Yukari, the purple-robed girl suddenly vanished, replaced by a small paper person that was devoured by the gray snake in her stead.

Yukari magically appeared next to Seiji's side.

Yakushi's expression didn't even flicker as he turned his gray snake towards another target.

At this moment, the Seiji clone successfully transformed the first gray snake into a golden divine dragon which pounced on the second snake!

*Boom!* The golden dragon and gray snake exploded together in a blinding explosion.

Yakushi remained calm and created yet another gray mist snake from his spell formation. Then, a second, third, fourth, fifth… he created a total of ten giant gray snakes!

All the snakes simultaneously pounced on different targets, causing everyone to feel danger.

Seiji narrowed his eyes as he created a hand seal.

The [Tremendous Light] spell formation lit up and shot out numerous golden beams of light which cleansed every single gray snake!

Yet, at this moment, Yakushi suddenly vanished.

He then reappeared close behind Seiji, and sent out countless smaller gray mist snakes which aimed straight for Seiji's back!

These were the true ”Venom Grudge Snakes”. Even if only a single tiny gray snake harmed the target, that would cause the target to be poisoned with a slow-acting poison which would be highly difficult to cure!

It was already too late by the time that Seiji noticed. It was too difficult for him to respond as he had just cast an ultimate spell… just kidding. Such a thing didn't happen at all.

Seiji had been on guard!

His telekinesis clone appeared behind him in the nick of time and released a large golden shield that blocked and cleansed all the tiny snakes!

Yakushi immediately had his snakes spread out for a fierce attack from all directions. He wanted to find a weak spot in Seiji's defenses.

However, Yakushi suddenly sensed danger.

*Bang!*

A white spiritual bullet arced in the air as it ambushed him from behind. This bullet pierced his barrier and accurately struck him in the back of the head!

Then a second, third, and fourth bullet all struck him… this succession of powerful bullet attacks sent Yakushi's body flying and distorting in midair from the impact. Then, his entire body shattered in midair!

”Cough…” Right before his body shattered, Yakushi appeared behind his snake monster. He coughed in obvious pain.

Just now, rather than his true body, his own telekinesis clone had been defeated.

Telekinesis was a common spiritual ability by which most users could create a clone of themselves by sending out a portion of their Mana. Seiji was only capable of forming a basic clone. However, Yakushi's telekinesis clone was far more exact and exquisite, allowing the clone to wield much greater power almost equivalent to his.

But, there was a price to be paid for this. If Yakushi's clone was defeated, his real body would receive a far more severe backlash compared to Seiji's backlash from losing a clone.

Yakushi had suspected from the very beginning that the enemy group might have some members in hiding, and now he had proven his theory correct. This succeeded in helping him learn that the enemy had a powerful sniper, so it wasn't a waste.

Yakushi created a new telekinesis clone!

He cast a hand seal which caused a yellow glow to appear right in front of him, swiftly forming another clone which was identical to himself.

The next moment, Yakushi's true body went invisible.

At this same time...

”Nice shot,” Seiji said this in a mental communication spell to the sniper Mai.

”Thank you for your praise,” Mai responded. ”Unfortunately, I didn't manage to hit his real body.”

”That's to be expected. He's one of the higher-ups in the Messengers, so of course he'd be powerful… You need to be careful. He'll probably try to locate you.”

”I will act as proper bait.”

”Hey, you…”

”I was just casually joking around. You'll protect me well, won't you, Young Master?”
