Chapter 155: 54 episodes Temple (7)

"Your idea isn’t bad!" Batana’s voice tolled like a death knell in Zarra’s ears. She instinctively stepped back, and the dagger in her hand clattered to the ground.

"Ma... Matron?" Zarra looked toward the spot where Batana had just fallen. Nothing had changed, and the old woman, with all her overwhelming power, still lay motionless on the ground.

"What on earth..."

Zarra’s words weren’t finished when her sister had already rushed to her. Zilvra seized the moment of distraction of the Drow priest and launched her attack. Full of energy, she struck Zarra with the hilt of her sword. The already scarred Drow woman finally fell, and the spell in her hand dissipated, just like her ambition to become the matron. She collapsed onto the pile of Dark Elf corpses, eyes shut tight, barely breathing.

Decades, even a century of waiting, evaporated with that single blow.

Lynch lowered his right hand, leaning against the wall, struggling to catch his breath. The Illusion Sound Technique he’d just used had pushed his stamina to its limits. Now he didn’t even have the strength to brush away the cobwebs clinging to his head. Yet, the mage felt strange; a power flowed endlessly from his left arm. This warm sensation massaged his weakened heart, soothed his sore muscles, and even began to heal his wounds.

He tried moving his left arm and discovered that the Refined Gold arm felt incredibly light, even more so than using his right arm. The once heavy prosthetic seemed weightless, obediently moving with a mere thought.

"Finder, what on earth happened?" These words slipped from Lynch’s teeth, but the red soul gave no reply.

"What? Lynch, what did you say?" Zilvra turned around and sheathed her weapon. "If it’s not important, don’t say it now. Just take a good rest first."

Lynch smiled at Zilvra, aware that now wasn’t the best time to ask Finder. At this moment, the mage was simply praying that the anomaly that just occurred hadn’t harmed the soul. What other secrets could be hidden in his left hand?

Zilvra walked over to Lynch, dusted off the cobwebs from his body, and helped him adjust his sitting position to make him more comfortable. But suddenly, she saw Lynch’s wide-open eyes, staring fearfully behind her.

She was about to turn her head when she lost consciousness.

What Lynch saw was the Witch Demon staggering to its feet. It had become utterly battered, with a cleanly severed right shoulder, the cut marked by scorch marks as if it had been burned. With every step it took, its body emitted a "crack" sound like bones knocking together, looking ready to fall apart at any moment. It was now moving purely by its formidable willpower.

Due to Lynch’s interference, the Witch Demon couldn’t fully resist Matron Batana’s spell. Though the power from the Spider Goddess was largely expended, it remained incredibly formidable. While Witch Demons were considered powerful on the Anriel Continent and legendary beings at that, there was still a significant gap compared to Divine Power.

The yellow flames in the Witch Demon’s eyes flickered continuously like dying candles in the wind, seemingly ready to extinguish at any moment. But Lynch knew that these Undead could, after some time, absorb enough strength from the Death World to restore their bodies. Even if its physical form—more accurately, its skeleton—was crushed to powder, it would rise again, fully intact, as long as its connection with the Death World remained unbroken.

The mage looked at Zilvra standing motionless in front of him, witnessing her vacant eyes and bloodless face. Lynch understood the Witch Demon’s intent; it was Spiritual Control.

The events that transpired had shaken the Witch Demon’s confidence in its spell because a human spellcaster, so young, could inflict such severe damage just by using lightning, which should have been ineffective against the Witch Demon. The Undead Mage was baffled. It no longer dared to confront this young person directly, fearing what other tricks he might have! Even if he used the lightning again, that inexplicable explosion was unpredictable. The safest strategy now was to control others to deal with this mage.
