Chapter 796 - 782: Solo Kill of the Archsin
Chapter 796: Chapter 782: Solo Kill of the Archsin
Mofulei was completely unprepared for the battle to collapse in an instant; the whole process took less than ten minutes, so she didn’t even have time to calmly retreat.
But it didn’t matter, as long as she could escape back to the City of Ember, she could rely on her Lust ability to continue...
"Where do you think you’re running off to?"
The unfamiliar voice appeared in her mind without any warning. She jerked her head to find Number Ten, with a Yellow-covered Book wrapped under his arm, about to catch up to her from above the sky.
"Bretta, protect me!"
At her order, the chief of the Zafar clan, who was fleeing with her, had a flicker of fear in his eyes but still mustered the courage to raise his magic staff towards Number Ten.
Suddenly, Number Ten shot a ball of light towards her. Bretta’s pupils contracted as he quickly changed his imminent attack to a shield; it was only then that he realized that what Number Ten shot was indeed just an orange ball of Lighting Technique.
At the same time, Number Ten’s figure in the sky disappeared and reappeared behind Bretta.
"A mage who can’t stay calm isn’t much different from trash."
Bretta hurriedly turned around, but it was already too late.
The Tentacle Blade easily penetrated the magic-proof shield, severing Bretta’s tendons in his hands and feet, causing him to fall headlong into the snow, curling up in pain.
Number Ten ignored her and continued to pursue the Enchanting Demon.
"Useless guy!" Seeing the chief of the Zafar clan fail even to delay Number Ten for a moment, Mofulei cursed under her breath, realizing she had to fight with all her might!
Direct confrontation was obviously out of the question; she already knew well enough how formidable Number Ten’s combat power was by this time.
She could only rely on the enhanced Charm granted by Lust!
However, Mofulei hadn’t forgotten what happened when she tried to charm Sigmund before.
Today she knew it was due to the Mushroom Lord attached to Sigmund.
And directly using a Spiritual Attack on the Mushroom Race was even more perilous than that encounter.
But at this moment, she had no other choice.
Just as Number Ten was entangled in lightning, attempting to electrocute her, Mofulei suddenly turned back, her eyes ablaze with pink light!
In the spiritual sea, when Mofulei landed on the shallow waters representing Number Ten, she almost instantly turned the surrounding seawater pink. However, the surrounding waters quickly diluted the pink in exchange, and a distant wave rolled in...
The Charm bolstered by Lust took effect; Number Ten suddenly felt his spirit flicker, unable to maintain his magic.
The lightning vanished, the hurricane dissipated, and before Number Ten fell from the sky, he only had time to stuff the Yellow-covered Book into his mushroom body.
Mofulei didn’t fare much better. With a scream, she crashed to the ground, rolling several times.
If not for being prepared and escaping quickly, she wouldn’t even have had a chance to scream.
Having truly witnessed that "ocean," Mofulei felt a boundless fear rising within her heart.
She could barely imagine how Lord Demon King managed to escape from the consciousness of this monster back then?
And... what on earth was this creature?
"Take... take me away..." Mofulei, with all her strength, focused her mind, having several elite dwarves swiftly carry her away from the spot.
By the time Number Ten awoke, Puki had already surrounded him.
Except for the few dwarven elites who ran fast, both armies were captured by the Pukis.
Regrettably, only Bretta among the dwarven high command was captured; Bado managed to break through once Number Ten was no longer restraining him.
Luckily, three combat puppets were left behind, and most of the S-Class Demon Crystal Lin Jun previously expended had returned just like that!
Unfortunately, Lust escaped.
Lust’s appearance answered Lin Jun’s initial doubts over the dwarves’ collective insanity.
However, Lin Jun didn’t expect Lust to appear on Mofulei.
Lin Jun knew the Demon King had means to transfer Deadly Sins, but didn’t expect him to actually remove a Deadly Sin from himself to install onto his subordinates!
Wasn’t he afraid of losing it?
No matter the Demon King’s plans, since Lust had already presented itself, there was no reason not to take it!
Lin Jun might not absorb Lust, but would never let it return to the Demon King’s hands!
"Continue the pursuit; she’s injured and can’t get far!" With Lin Jun’s command, even though Pukis had left the fungal mat’s range, they continued pursuing the remnants of the routed army.
However, the pursuit didn’t last long.
...
Puki—Puki—
"Ah! No, help me, help me!!!"
Puki—Puki—
Below the cliff, Mofulei held her mouth tightly shut as the screams of that dwarf faded away.
He was discovered, but she was not.
She waited until the sound completely vanished into the mountain winds before cautiously moving, poking half of her head out from a crevice.
Once she confirmed there was no one around, then she slowly exhaled, sticking to the rockface as she moved.
Now, she was immensely thankful for her proficiency in various stealth skills.
Though these skills were useless within the fungal mat’s area for some reason, fortunately, there were no fungal mats nearby.
Not every Puki possessed comprehensive scouting skills like the scout Puki; most ordinary Pukis, once they left the fungal mat, could only conduct a carpet search, which gave Mofulei a chance to hide.
Before becoming the Empire’s chief intelligence officer, Mofulei had honestly served as a frontline spy.
Relying on this experience, she painstakingly made her way to the nearest Dwarf fortress.
Here, she found herself temporarily safe.
More fortunately, Bado had also escaped to this fortress.
Mofulei immediately found him: "Bado, Puki will soon catch up. You must escort me back to the City of Ember to regroup the army and resist Fungus Castle!"
While describing her follow-up plan, her mind remained focused on that terrifying Puki, completely unaware of the strange look Bado gave her.
[Spiritual Resistance Level 10]
Bado’s breath grew heavy, and he trembled as he gripped the axe handle, swinging it down!
"Ah—!" Mofulei’s shoulder was slashed open diagonally, blood gushing, she screamed and stumbled back, staring at Bado in disbelief, "How could you..."
Bado, after swinging the first axe, didn’t hesitate; the second axe was already in a full arc, aimed at Mofulei.
At the brink of life and death, with blood pouring from her mouth, Mofulei gritted her teeth, ignoring her injuries, desperately gathering pink light in her pupils!
"Obey me..."
Bado clenched his teeth, breaking his own teeth, mixed with half a severed tongue, as he borrowed this moment of clarity to bring down the axe blade!
"Die!"
Mofulei’s head flew off her neck diagonally, smashing into a stone pier, bouncing once, and rolling into the corner.
The pink glow faded from her eyes, her pupils gradually dilating, her face frozen in final confusion and reluctance.
She never imagined that even after narrowly escaping the Puki pursuit, having reached a supposed safe haven, she would die there, at the hands of a dwarf who previously couldn’t stir a ripple in her palm.
The axe blade deeply embedded in the ground, Bado sat weakly, covering his continuously bleeding mouth, yet he dared not pass out—he must immediately stop this needless war, cannot let more dwarves die due to the Empire’s conspiracy!
