Chapter 721 - A Scholar’s Battle Style (2/2)

But everyone’s jaws dropped at the next moment. Orchid Heart swept a glance at the Lich. She lifted her right arm and brandished!

A green blade ray erupted along with her movements. The wind cheetah snarled as it leaped into the air and bit merciless onto the Lich’s shoulder. The Lich finally couldn’t escape. It crashed heavily into the holy barrier behind.

“What in the world?!”

Frederick exclaimed at the top of his lungs. He widened his eyes and stared at Orchid Heart in disbelief. Of course, he knew what was that move. It was his Wind Hunter Blade technique. However, even he required the wind-elemental ‘Raging Storm’ magic sword to achieve such a perfect result and yet, this young lady cast it with bare hands!

Could it be that this young lady is a Sword Saint?

Serena watched with an ashen expression. She finally realized what Orchid Heart had done. When the Lich cast its spell, Orchid Heart had been watching its every movement. After the Lich cast its spell, the empty page beneath Orchid Heart’s left hand emerged with lines of text and magical runes. Just like how the line of words emerged above the page when the Lich released the lightning chain spell to strike off the Nightmare Warriors. Moreover, the instant the Lich was caught in the fireball explosion, Serena noticed that Orchid Heart lithely swiped her right hand across the line of words before pointing forward. Then, she emitted a lightning chain from her fingertips that struck the Lich.

All in one…

Serena trembled in shock. She finally understood why Orchid Heart remained silent after the battle began. She had been analyzing the spells used in battle and only released them now. This was extremely terrifying. Just think about how terrifying it was for one in battle to face an opponent who could copy one’s techniques and use it as their own…

“Is it over?”

Rhode said and startled Serena. She returned from her daze and looked forward with a complicated gaze. The Lich didn’t seem to have any strength left anymore. It leaned on the holy barrier in silence.

“It’s your turn now, Rhode… Yawn…”

Orchid Heart tilted her head, rubbed her eyes, and moved aside. Rhode nodded and stepped forward. He sized up the powerless Lich and stretched out his right arm.

[Activate Spirit’s Prisoner — Spirit extraction activate. Choose your target]

Rhode pointed forward.

But the next scene stunned him.

“Argh!”

Logically speaking, Rhode should have extracted the Lich’s spirit right after activating this skill. However, the Lich stood up abruptly, clutched his chest, and let out a blood-curdling screech before falling on its head lifelessly. Then, Rhode saw a spiritual radiance streaking across the sky like a meteor and it entered the necklace hanging on his chest.

[Imprisoned Spirit — Undead Spirit (Dark Attribute Resistance +10 / Spiritual Capacity Expansion 100 / Overall +9)]

“Huh?”

Rhode gazed in astonishment at the Lich before him.

Isn’t this a Lich? Why has it become an Undead Spirit? Both should be presences on entirely different levels.

Rhode stepped forth, drew his sword, and flipped the Lich around. He slashed the cloak open and witnessed its true identity.

“What’s going on?”
