Chapter 344: Chapter 343: The Disappearing Figure

"At this moment, please gaze into the deep valley.

The Blood River is right before your eyes.

It is boiling and stewing the criminals who inflict violence upon others.

..."

As Ronald uttered the incantation, a new black mist infused with the power of Hell’s Blood River emerged around him.

At the same time, Ronald skillfully commanded the souls that accompanied the Blood River.

These ghosts immediately burrowed into the ground.

In the soil, invisible to the naked eye, the transparent ghosts began to approach the enemy from unreachable angles, utilizing their ability to pass through matter.

Ronald was casting spells at an extremely fast pace.

But in just a few seconds, Heloise had already crossed dozens of meters and arrived in front of two Caster of the Nine Commandments.

Faced with the girl who ambushed them with murderous intent,

the original tome holder of the Nine Commandments merely frowned slightly and then waved one hand nonchalantly.

Invisibly,

a powerful dragging force immediately descended upon Heloise.

And just as Ronald had seen happen several times before, the girl’s figure was abruptly pulled away, skewing through the air, seemingly about to crash into the embankment of the Wis River!

Swish——

Suddenly, the pale-colored shawl on Heloise fiercely shot up into the sky.

Then it instantly tore into pieces.

With this action, the girl who should have hit the embankment disappeared from sight in an instant.

——Indeed, with Ronald’s warning.

——How could a professional like Heloise, who navigated through dangers, fail to be prepared?

Sacrificing the props she had prepared in advance,

Heloise’s figure vanished into the night.

And so, on the empty street, there was only the darkness of night and the sound of the water from the nearby Wis River. The ambush that had just taken place seemed as if it had never existed.

At this moment, Ronald, who had withdrawn the power of ’Fury,’ could not detect Heloise’s position.

The other two Casters from the Nine Commandments were in the same situation.

"..."

Watching such changes happening in the battle,

Ronald was somewhat surprised, but he showed no intention of stopping his hand movements.

Controlling the black mist imbued with the force of ’violence,’ this mist full of the Blood River’s power spread swiftly towards the two enemies.

At the same time, for the first time in real combat, Ronald recited the spell of the Icarus’s Wings:

"To think it’s laughable to trap someone in a labyrinth forged by the designer himself!

I have the expanses of the sky to reach any place I wish.

..."

Although it wasn’t an original spell, Ronald was fairly gifted in casting.

The pristine wings unfolded smoothly on his back.

With the aid of this spell, Ronald himself also immediately rose into the midair from his original position.

"..."

Faced with this situation, the original tome holder of the Nine Commandments looked even more somber.

In an exceedingly faint voice, he instructed the elder behind him:

"Look, a new spell."

"Its ability is not just to unravel the original ones!"

"Remember to record this, then transmit it to headquarters."

After finishing his instructions, the original tome holder also made his move.

Knowing that Ronald possessed the original tome, he spared no effort and immediately initiated his most proficient original spell:

"Starting from the relationship between the whole Earth and the sky,

let us construct our cognition.

..."

Right away, the power of the Astronomy Master began to take effect.

The two Casters from the Nine Commandments, one on the left and one on the right, immediately moved to different positions with the help of this power, also hovering at a certain height.

At the same time, the elder who had just been instructed also began to use his own spell.

Soon, wondrous changes began to appear on the elder.

As he activated his spell, the old man’s frail body suddenly swelled, the wrinkled, aging skin filled out by reinvigorated muscles, and his weak spirit also surged accordingly.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Even his stature seemed to have increased considerably!

Clang—

In that instant, the silhouette of Hailoys, who had disappeared mere seconds earlier, suddenly reappeared.

And her position was directly behind the old man!

The bright, silver edge of her blade sliced through the air, carrying a dangerously threatening sound as it chopped down toward the head on the old man’s shoulder.

Crack—

The next second, a grating screech like nails on glass filled the space between them.

If the blade had accurately cleaved the old man’s head, there would have been no doubt he would have lost his life.

But the bastard blocked it!

After his body was enhanced by the spell.

The old man’s reaction speed and perceptive abilities saw a notable improvement as well.

So, sensing the whooshing sound approaching from behind, he forcibly twisted his upper body and then crossed his hands in front of his face.

Consequently, Hailoys’s blade sank deeply into his forearms, and a stream of crimson blood immediately began to drip from the wound.

But even with the inflicted damage, the old man managed to block the attack.

Using the bones of both arms, he firmly trapped Hailoys’s dagger!

The two maintained this posture as they plummeted to the ground, followed by a deep thud upon impact.

"Only a despicable little person would resort to sneak attacks!"

"Do you think I would be harmed by such a fragile blade?"

With a roar of anger, something even more astonishing happened.

The old man’s body-enhancing spell wasn’t limited to muscle strength.

After the blade pierced through the skin and muscle of his forearm, he actually used the torn muscle tissue to forcibly grip the blade, and then rammed his head into Hailoys.

"Hmph—"

In the face of such inhuman behavior from her enemy.

There wasn’t the slightest ripple of concern on Hailoys’s face.

She promptly released her grip on the dagger and then, with a light step, retreated backward.

The moment her figure stabilized back on the ground.

The girl had already reached into her chest and pulled out a well-maintained revolver.

"If a dagger won’t do."

"Then try this."

Bang bang bang—

She pulled the trigger three consecutive times, and Hailoys’s marksmanship was as Ronald had once witnessed, not a single bullet would stray from its intended target.

The old man’s eyeballs, heart, and the arteries in his neck.

All three spots were hit precisely by the bullets, piercing right through.

"Argh—"

The kinetic energy of real bullets is quite forceful.

And the handgun and bullets Hailoys chose were the kind with significant destructive power.

Three bloody holes were blasted through the old man’s body.

Each one a severe injury that would be instantly fatal to a normal person.

—A horrifying scene unfolded.

Even with such injuries, the old man’s figure still stood firm on the ground.

Hailoys could clearly see the enemy’s condition.

As the bullets passed through his body, his flesh began to heal itself in an exceedingly rapid way, even managing to largely ignore the effects of the fatal injuries.

"Roar!"

At that moment, the old man suddenly let out a beastly roar full of rage.

The bullet that had passed through his eye socket had also damaged his brain structure.

Although the injuries were still mending, he no longer had the capacity to think.

Controlled by the terrible spell that dominated his body, the old man, with a face full of primal fury, charged at Hailoys once more.

Witnessing the enemy in front of her completely stripped of humanity.

Hailoys’s gaze subtly shifted to something behind the old man.

—It was driven by Ronald.

—Then, a billowing black mist of ’Fury’ swirled toward the enemy!
