Chapter 407: The Battle of Apostles, the Battle of Strength and Magic
After hearing what Dave said, everyone could not help but turn their heads to look at the Dark Elf who had suddenly appeared. All of them were stunned.
Previously, everyone had worked together but they still failed to kill Andre.
As another apostle had suddenly appeared, their situation became much worse than before.
Vincent was the only one who had anticipated such a situation to occur. He sized up the tall and thin figure in front of him calmly. Suddenly, a sense of alertness rose in his heart. He realized that the other apostle was a different kind of dangerous. She was different from Andre. However, as he was busy removing the demonic aura from Avril and Angelina’s bodies, he was temporarily unable to deal with the situation. Therefore, he could only wait and see!
Meanwhile, Andre, who was in a confrontation previously, shouted cautiously, “Jessica, what are you doing here?”
Jessica, whose identity had been exposed, first looked up at Dave. She then turned to look at Andre. She smiled and said, “Of course I’m here to see what you’re up to! The twelve apostles have long reached a consensus that until Elf World is destroyed, they will never be demonized! However, you broke this agreement, so I naturally have to come and understand why!”
Andre snorted coldly and said, “You don’t have to care about my affairs! Moreover, the consensus you mentioned is just a tacit agreement between everyone. It is not binding. I can evolve whenever I want. Why do I need your permission?”
Upon hearing this, Jessica turned around and faced Andre. She turned her back toward Vincent and the others. It looked as if she did not care if Vincent and his team launched an attack on her.
Jessica said calmly, “The twelve apostles are the most loyal believers of Lord Gajero. We are the ones who have been collecting resources for him. Moreover, in order to make things easy and convenient, no one has voluntarily evolved into a demon. Therefore, everyone has always been equal. However, as you have evolved into a demon, aren’t you going to be above everyone else? We are both slaves, why do you have to become the master so early?”
Andre suddenly raised his head and laughed. He then said arrogantly, “If you didn’t remind me, I would have forgotten! I am already a demon now. You are the most loyal believer of the Demon Race. Thus, you are naturally my slave. Now, I order you to kill these creatures. Don’t leave anyone alive!”
Horace and the others looked as if they were facing a great enemy. They raised their weapons and looked at Jessica’s back warily.
However, Jessica did not move. Instead, she lowered her head and let out a cold laugh.
“Andre, Andre! Do you really think that you can become superior just because you have evolved into a demon? Don’t forget that there is no one among the twelve apostles who doesn’t know your background. You are not qualified to give orders to me! Today, the ones behind me must die. But before you kill them, you must also pay the price for your transgression!”
Andre became anxious and said, “Price? What kind of price do you want me to pay?”
Jessica said calmly, “Of course, I want you to die! All the apostles are willing to work for the oracles in Imperial City, but no one wants to see you become the master of all the apostles!”
Andre suddenly let out a maniacal laugh and said arrogantly, “You want to kill me? Are you even worthy? The twelve apostles are all level 45 creatures, and I alone have evolved into a demon. How can you kill me? Do you think your jokes are funny?”
Jessica shook her head. She sighed softly and said, “Back then, I did say that you were too greedy for the strength of the demon’s body. You have neglected the real power of the demon’s spells. That is your most fatal weakness. Even if you have evolved into a demon, you can only fight others without thinking. You are completely unable to unleash the true power of the Demon Race. Dealing with you is like dealing with a bug that only knows how to run and slash blindly!”
When Ebenezer and the others heard what Jessica had said, they could not help but turn their heads to look at the Zerg that was running toward them from afar.
At that moment, everyone suddenly realized that the Zerg had been running toward them for a very long time. However, it was still unable to reach them!
The one that was most confused was Vincent. This was because he was personally chased by the Zerg all the way and had to make a huge detour before he could shake it off by a distance. However, it had been a while since he rushed back. He had even successfully saved Avril and Angelina. Why was the Zerg still far away?
Dave suddenly sighed in a low voice, “The Zerg must have been hit by a high-level spell. The distance between it to here has been increased infinitely. This way, the Zerg will only continue to run endlessly. It will only reach us once the spell is stopped or the distance it ran exceeded the limit of the spell. However, I’ve only seen this spell in the records stored in the temple. I’ve never heard of anyone who could use it, not even the previous High Priest!”
After hearing what Dave said, everyone looked at Jessica with fear in their eyes.
Based on Dave’s explanation and the conversation between Jessica and Andre, it was not difficult to see that Jessica was a Dark Elf who was proficient in high-level spells. Her level of danger was far greater than Andre, who was only good at hand-to-hand combat!
Ebenezer realized that the situation was getting out of control and quickly asked Vincent in a low voice, “Master, what should we do now?”
Vincent was also complaining because the amount of demonic aura in Avril and Angelina’s bodies was abnormally large and had begun to pollute their minds. Vincent had to remove all the demonic aura in one go. If there was a pause or interruption midway, the two women would become monsters that had completely lost their minds.
Therefore, Vincent could not be distracted or moved. Even if he faced a fatal attack, he could not dodge!
Vincent said softly to Ebenezer, “Don’t bother about their grudges for now. You and Dave should pay careful attention to the changes in the battle situation. If there’s any danger, immediately bring everyone into the space tunnel. Don’t hesitate!”
Ebenezer nodded and quickly asked, “Then what about you and your two lovers?”
Vincent narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “Once there’s danger, don’t worry about the three of us! If I can’t save the two of them, I won’t be going anywhere else today!”
Ebenezer looked at Vincent with hesitation, but he was unable to say anything else. He could only turn around and guard the group with Dave. They were ready to open the space tunnel at any time.
Andre and Jessica, who were in a confrontation, did not notice Ebenezer’s small actions. There was clearly an even more intense conflict going on between the two of them, and it had reached the point where it had to be resolved.
After hearing what Jessica had said, Andre felt a little guilty. He raised his hand and pointed at Ebenezer and the others. He then said to Jessica, “It’s not too late to resolve the enmity between us. We can do it later. Let us first work together to get rid of these blasphemers and aliens! Otherwise, if the two of us fight until we’re both injured, won’t we be letting them take advantage of us?”
Jessica smiled disapprovingly and said, “Among these creatures, the highest is a level 40 creature, and there are even two that have not even reached level 30. Can such a line-up pose a threat to me? You are the only weak one that could be beaten to such a state by them!”
Andre saw that Jessica was determined to go her own way and did not listen to his advice. His heart could not help but burn with anger. Suddenly, he thought of a good idea.
Since Jessica looked down on Vincent and the others, then he should slowly deal with Jessica and lure her to reveal her flaws in front of everyone. As long as Vincent made his move, he would definitely prioritize attacking Jessica who had revealed more flaws. At that time, Andre would not only be able to get rid of a powerful opponent like Jessica, but he might even find an opportunity to escape!
Andre’s heart was filled with anger as he thought about it. He could not be bothered to say another word to Jessica. He immediately charged forward with all his might. He waved his hands and slapped Jessica.
“Barbaric and vulgar boor, you actually dared to take the initiative to attack me. Today, you will die without a doubt!” shouted Jessica coldly.
She then slammed her staff heavily onto the ground. Black light waves rippled out and spread in all directions with her as the center.
Andre felt like he had hit an iron wall when he came into contact with the black light waves that looked like regular waves. Not only was he forced to stop, but he was also pushed back by the waves.
A series of heavy collision sounds could be heard in the sky. Everyone assumed that Andre must have been seriously injured.
Guru Harson saw that there were also black light waves heading toward him, and quickly shouted, “What should we do? We’re going to end up like Andre!”
Ebenezer shouted, “Dave! Let’s use our modification authority together!”
Dave, who was at the other side of the group, nodded. He raised his hand and drew a line in front of him. He then shouted in a deep voice, “Modify and open the door!”
Ebenezer, who was on the other side, also did the same thing. Under the joint efforts of the two of them, an extremely large space door soon opened in front of everyone.
However, before Ebenezer and the others could step through the space door, the black light waves had arrived in front of them.
Nevertheless, what Ebenezer and Dave did not expect was that a space power wall was erected in front of them when they were opening the space door. The black light waves crashed into the wall and instantly disappeared without a trace. It was unable to cause any harm to them.
After Ebenezer and Dave saw this, they could not help but be stunned. They even forgot to call the others to enter the space door. Everyone just stood there quietly, watching Jessica’s spell disintegrate in front of them.
At the same time, Jessica had also noticed the strange situation behind her. She turned her head to look at Ebenezer and the others with a surprised expression. She did not know how these creatures could resist her spell with their low strength.
At this moment, Jessica suddenly realized that Andre’s suggestion might be worthy of her attention. This team composed of blasphemers and outsiders seemed to have better strength than she thought.
However, just as Jessica was hesitating in her heart, she suddenly heard Andre’s voice.
“You’re looking down on me by being distracted at this time!”
The moment she heard him, she turned her head abruptly and discovered that Andre had rushed in front of her once again despite being sent flying earlier. He raised his fist and smashed it heavily towards her.
“Bang!”
Andre smashed his fist onto Jessica’s face. The huge force caught Jessica off guard. The soil under her feet instantly exploded violently and splashed in all directions. Jessica’s body was like a large nail as she was hammered into the ground by Andre.
Jessica, who only had half her body above ground, suddenly felt a hot and sticky liquid flowing from her nose to her mouth. At the same time, there was a strong smell of blood.
Her nose was broken by Andre.
Jessica looked at Andre with anger. In the heat of anger, she had long forgotten about her previous thoughts. At that moment, she only wanted to get rid of Andre and make him pay for what he had done earlier!
Jessica roared angrily, “Andre, go to hell!”
The magic staff in her hand lit up. She then flew out from the mud and raised the glowing magic staff to strike Andre’s head.
As Jessica waved the staff, the light on it gathered into an even larger illusory staff. She condensed a huge amount of demonic aura on it; she then drowned Andre.
When the crowd saw Jessica’s sudden attack, they could not help but sigh. At the same time, they were also curious about Andre’s life and death under the dazzling light.
However, Jessica was not focused on whether Andre was still alive or dead. Perhaps, she did not think that her attack was enough to kill him directly. When she succeeded in her attack, she did not stop fighting. Instead, she continued to chant, “Great Lord Gajero, please bestow upon us the most precious treasure in the Demon Race, the Piercing Arrow!”
After chanting piously, Jessica withdrew her staff. Following that, pitch-black vines filled with barbs grew out of her staff. She stabbed toward the spot where Andre had fallen like a sharp sword.
Jessica then raised her hand to point at the dark sky and shouted in a deep voice, “Magic Star Fall!”
Black meteorites suddenly started falling from the pitch-black sky and struck the spot where the arrow was pierced.
However, Jessica was still not satisfied. She then held her magic staff with both hands and began to chant in a low voice again.
“Great Lord Gajero, please listen to the chanting of your most devout believer and grant me the hell cage that can imprison everything!”
As soon as she finished chanting, a pair of giant black hands suddenly appeared on the ground, gently interlocking their fingers on the spot where Andre had fallen.
“Crack!”
The sound of a mechanism being pressed echoed throughout the sky and earth, as if an invisible lock had locked tightly.
Jessica then pointed her magic staff at the ground with one hand and shouted in a deep voice, “Surge of demonic flames!”
The ground beneath the hands suddenly cracked open and black flames gushed out. The fire was like a fountain. It splashed through the hands and everything that was trapped under it!
Ebenezer and the others who were watching the battle could not help but gape. After seeing Jessica’s spells and the shocking destructive power that she had displayed, they all felt powerless.
“Horace, you and the Dark Elves are enemies. Is this apostle one of your assassination targets?” sighed Ebenezer helplessly.
What he wanted to say was that Horace should give up on his assassination plan. At least with Horace’s strength, it was impossible for him to defeat this powerful apostle in front of him!
Horace opened his mouth but did not say a word. This was because he was also shocked by Jessica’s strength. At the same time, he thought to himself, if Andre had the same ability as Jessica, he might not be able to complete the assassination plan for the rest of his life.
Just as everyone was lamenting, Jessica’s spell bombardment on Andre had finally ended. The staff in her hand landed on the ground. She raised her hand and waved it slightly. The huge black hands that were interlocked together slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black body inside. Andre’s many joints had been pierced through by the black vines, and he was nailed to the ground.
The remaining black scales on Andre’s body had long fallen off, and his newly grown limbs had been burned into charcoal. Only his chest was still heaving up and down, proving that he was not dead yet. He was still alive!
Horace and the others who were in the distance could not help but suck in a breath of cold air when they saw the scene. Only then did they realize how terrifying Andre’s vitality was. To be able to survive such a cruel attack, it was truly unbelievable!
At the same time, everyone began to reflect on themselves. Based on their joint assassination earlier, the damage done to Andre was probably far from reaching a fatal degree. In fact, compared to the damage done by Jessica, it was probably not painful to him at all.
“Andre, you can rest assured and die now!” said Jessica.
She walked to Andre’s side, raised her staff high, and aimed at Andre’s beating chest. She was prepared to deal the final fatal blow to him.
However, at that moment, Andre’s charred skin shattered like an eggshell, revealing an arm made of countless black tentacles. The tentacles struck his charred body ruthlessly.
Immediately after that, all of his charred skin split into pieces and a tall black giant stood up from within!
The giant’s entire body was made of black tentacles. It had a pair of huge eyes but it did not have eyelids. Its eyes looked similar to Andre’s. It looked like a monster that had its skin peeled off.
The giant stared at Jessica.
Jessica was stunned. Although she was also one of the twelve apostles and had the ability to evolve into a demon, she had not tried evolving. She had no idea how many methods a demon could have.
Jessica sighed in surprise, “How are you still alive?”
“B*stard! As a Dark Elf, you dare to devour your master although you are just a slave. Go to hell!” said the giant who was also Andre.
The giant’s chest thumped as he let out an angry roar. He then swung his fist at Jessica.
Jessica saw this and quickly raised her staff to block the incoming fist. However, her staff that was made of Origin Divine Wood was unable to block the fist. Instead, it broke into two under the violent impact. The fist smashed into Jessica’s face without any obstruction.
“Bang!”
Jessica was immediately sent flying and landed heavily in front of Ebenezer and the others.
Andre’s gaze fell on Jessica, Ebenezer, and the others all at the same time.
He roared angrily, “Just in time, I’ll kill you altogether!”
