Chapter 402: Chapter 290 Overlord Beats Up White Eagle_2

"Action!"

The screen of light disappeared, and the Black Flame rushed in hungrily, aiming to burn the mercenaries to ashes!

Led by Eliphas, the magicians coordinated astonishingly well, casting magic in unison with him to summon numerous high-tier Water Elements to counter the Black Flame, while simultaneously calling forth a gale, instantly widening the distance between them and Vonier.

The timing of their tactic was impeccable, for in the next second, Vonier was already pulling the Abyss forward, and the place where they once stood was already consumed by darkness.

Amidst the black fog, a large number of Skeleton Warriors and Casas Warriors descended, while the assault captain, alone, wielded a hammer and shield to block at the front. His body expanded to three meters, resembling a small mountain made of muscle. Though he maintained a humanoid appearance, there was a sense that his inner being had transformed into a tyrannosaurus-like existence.

Fortunately, this change would be perceived as the result of some spell or bloodline effect, even Sali, who was closest, couldn’t detect anything amiss.

The Arrow Captain’s longbow had previously lit up with layers of magic arrays, and each arrow he shot was enveloped and amplified by different attributes of magic power as it passed through the arrays. By the time it reached Vonier, the arrow was almost the size of one of Vonier’s finger bones!

This fierce attack was swallowed by the Black Flame, but the sheer volume meant there was always a chance to hit one or two.

As for its effectiveness... it was still undetermined, but he chose to trust Eliphas, continuing to shoot incessantly.

In such circumstances, the Spear Cavalry Captain’s advantages seemed unplayable, but the Spiritual Horses he summoned all moved at incredible speeds, not lagging behind the magicians’ commonly used [Flash], forming a highly mobile "Cavalry Corps" that carried the mercenaries.

These captains were indeed rare talents.

As for Eliphas, he released two White Eagles formed of light that were no smaller than the Overlord Vonier. These giant beasts fearlessly attacked the Overlord, each time scraping bone fragments off the Overlord’s bones!

Too strong!

The current battle seemed to be going well; they had countermeasures for each of Vonier’s moves, and their attacks continued to inflict somewhat inconspicuous damage. If they could keep grinding down...

Eliphas had great patience; he didn’t mind if this hunt lasted all day. But the information Sali brought told him that the Overlord was impatient.

For their opponent would summon that gigantic...

"Hahaha!" The assault captain fought with such intensity that he inadvertently got dangerously close to Vonier, who then delivered a slap down instantly.

"That idiot!" Sali couldn’t help but curse, and then he widened his eyes.

The Overlord’s palm trembled as it descended; upon closer inspection, the assault captain was unbelievably holding it up by sheer force!

"Don’t underestimate my strength!"

The assault captain shouted loudly, and in his exertion, flames burst from his nostrils. With blood boiling, he roared:

"Watch me topple you, beast!"

"Splat--"

With slight force from Vonier, the palm pressed down immediately.

The assault captain’s body emitted a sound effect akin to a comedic animation and remained unmoving for a while, clearly laid out.

"..."

The battlefield went silent for a moment.

"He really is an idiot!" Sali now fully embraced the role of complaining, regretting his brief admiration for the assault captain!

The death of the assault captain seemed to be a sign, heralding the Overlord Vonier’s strong counterattack.

In other words, with the Light Eagle Group lacking powerful offensive means and only able to rely on modest attacks to grind away, failure had been preordained. If they could use a pseudo-Legendary level Life Ball as their flat attack, victory might have been within reach.

Eliphas’s White Eagle swiftly dodged the assaults of the Black Flame, but in the next second, massive clumps resembling dark splatters abruptly surged out from the Abyss, hitting the White Eagle that failed to evade in time, instantly killing one!

The Overlord Vonier had already accessed the Abyss; naturally, his attack methods weren’t as simplistic as in a game.

As Eliphas prepared to replenish, the next moment, Vonier’s Holy Sword rose from the ground; there was no dramatic entrance animation, appearing as if simply summoning a weapon. Yet, in an instant, the Holy Sword cleaved the last White Eagle in two!

"Boom!"

The White Eagle exploded violently before its death, and the resulting luminous flames clung to the Overlord’s skeleton, continuously inflicting damage, but were extinguished before they could boast for a few seconds.

Eliphas’s eyes widened slightly; here it was, exactly as Sali had once described — the Holy Sword of Vonier, capable of bringing Elsa to her knees!

The longer they dragged it out, the higher the chances of the Holy Sword appearing!

The Holy Sword was the most troublesome thing; beyond increasing distance, Eliphas had one other method in mind.

But right now, Vonier kept advancing, and the area behind him was entirely engulfed by the Abyss and Death Miasma, making it impossible to penetrate. The space left for the mercenaries to flee was becoming scarce, and soon they would enter the Holy Sword’s attack range.

In this dire predicament, Eliphas produced a Treasure Bead.

This Treasure Bead was a prized possession even within the wealthy Light Eagle Group, said to contain ancient magic with the simple and honest name [Anti-Slash]!

Merely carrying this Treasure Bead ensured the bearer received the ancient magic’s blessing, mitigating the damage from slashes. If its magic was unleashed, it might even achieve the legendary [Slashing Nullification]!
