Chapter 1000: Witch Hunt: Powerful Elder Uiny
Poisonous Vine crashed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Her body was wracked with intense pain.
"Oh, shit... This bullshit elder is too strong," she said in annoyance.
Elder Uiny looked down at Poisonous Vine before turning her gaze to Captain Sarguan. She pointed her saber at him and fired dozens of light rays.
Swoosh!!
Captain Sarguan moved as fast as he could. All the light rays that entered a certain range around him slowed down.
"Hmm... A rare time attribute," Elder Uiny murmured, furrowing her brows.
Captain Sarguan possessed a rare time element affinity. It was one of the reasons he had risen to his position and become a Captain of the Royal Guard of the Palleo Kingdom.
Elder Uiny suddenly appeared before him. Captain Sarguan was taken aback and took a step back, slowing down the time around him severalfold. The pieces of rock that had been shot into the air moved at a very slow pace.
"Time affinity is good. Unfortunately, you're too weak," Elder Uiny said before she swung her saber down.
The saber emitted a strong heat wave that shattered the time barrier around Captain Sarguan. He had expected this, knowing she was stronger than Poisonous Vine, but experiencing the disparity in power firsthand was unpleasant.
Captain Sarguan crashed onto the molten rocks on the ground.
Elder Uiny chased after her target, but then two rays of light flashed toward her. She reacted quickly, slashing the rays of light and firing energy blades in return.
Boom! Boom!
At the same time, the volcanoes on the ground erupted once again, shooting molten rocks at her targets.
Zhang Ren, the bald monk, stepped forward and punched the molten rocks.
Bang!!
Edeya observed Elder Uiny and said, "This is kind of dejecting... The pressure is stronger than I expected. So this is the might of an elder. The chances of us winning this battle are getting lower."
"This is just an elder of today's time. Imagine the might of an elder in Walpurgis Night's glory days," Zhang Ren commented.
Elder Uiny narrowed her eyes as she observed the two new faces. "Wandering Monk and Autumn Snow," she said.
"Oh, you know us? It seems that our influence has even reached my hometown," Edeya remarked, raising her eyebrows.
"I know everyone who could pose a threat to my plan. It seems you defeated the witches I sent after you," Elder Uiny replied.
Suddenly, a figure appeared behind her: it was Poisonous Vine. A whip flashed through the air, but Elder Uiny blocked it with her saber.
"Now!" Edeya shouted, and she and Zhang Ren immediately dashed forward.
Elder Uiny glanced back and kicked Poisonous Vine in the stomach, then sent a powerful gust of wind that blew her away once again. Turning around, she faced Edeya and Zhang Ren.
Edeya opened her palm and summoned her soul weapon, a small silver sickle.
She didn't hold back, activating several combat arts to boost her strength and [Elemental Drive]. She knew she had to use this much power to keep up with Elder Uiny.
Edeya swung her soul weapon, but Elder Uiny blocked it effortlessly. Stepping aside, Elder Uiny used her other hand to punch Edeya in the stomach, hurling her several meters away. Elder Uiny looked up and saw a huge golden palm descending at high speed.
"Amithaba, [Buddha's Lotus Palm]!" a voice echoed.
She wanted to move, but then she felt her movements slow down.
"What?!" Elder Uiny turned her head and saw Captain Sarguan looking at her. She had been caught off guard by his time attribute attack.
In the next moment, the giant golden palm slammed into her body, sending her to the ground with tremendous force.
Bang!!
Elder Uiny crashed into the sea of molten rocks.
Zhang Ren flew beside Edeya and asked, "Are you okay?"
Edeya spat out blood before answering, "I'm fine. She's strong, and our attacks barely damage her. We need to work with the others."
Zhang Ren glanced at Captain Sarguan and Poisonous Vine. He then said, "I doubt that woman would work with us."
Edeya sighed. "You're right. She'll attack on her own, so we have no choice but to adjust to her movements."
"Yeah, I'll stay at the back and provide support. You'll fight the elder head-on," Zhang Ren
said.
"I know." Edeya nodded, her expression turning serious as her mana began to rise.
Bang!!
Elder Uiny emerged from the sea of molten rocks, and Edeya immediately rushed ahead.
Zhang Ren stood at the back, activating several skills to boost the strength of Edeya, Poisonous Vine, and Captain Sarguan. He had no choice but to buff Poisonous Vine since she was also fighting Elder Uiny. Her strength was essential if they wanted to take down an elder of the Walpurgis Night.
This was just the might of an elder of the Walpurgis Night. The only reason the two Supreme Elders had perished was that they were poisoned by Elder Uiny and Elder Cermine, who had backstabbed them.
Elder Uiny exchanged blows with Edeya and Poisonous Vine, who were attacking her from both sides, while Zhang Ren supported them with his skills, buffs, and debuff spells. From time to time, Captain Sarguan would launch an attack whenever he saw an opportunity.
It was
against one.
Amanda and Princess Iris stood at a distance, watching the fierce battle unfold before their
eyes.
"We have to support them," Princess Iris said firmly.
"How?" Amanda asked.
"I have a few support skills. We'll advance forward and maintain a distance behind the monk, and you will focus your energy on creating a barrier to protect us from the violent energy
sparks while I use my skills," Princess Iris explained.
"I understand." Amanda nodded.
The two looked at each other before advancing forward. They maintained a distance behind Zhang Ren, and Amanda used her mana to protect them from the energy fluctuations of the
battle.
Princess Iris began to chant as she cast a buff spell for everyone, and she also cast a debuff on Elder Uiny. Her debuff spells didn't have much of an effect against the elder, but it was better
than nothing.
Elder Uiny's strength gradually diminished as she received several buffs from Zhang Ren and Princess Iris, while the strength of Edeya, Captain Sarguan, and Poisonous Vine increased.
Bang! Bang!
The battle raged on as Elder Uiny fought against them.
Elder Uiny attempted to retreat, but she stopped in midair when she felt a whip wrap around
her ankle. She then saw Edeya flash in front of her and grab her face.
In the next moment, Elder Uiny felt her defenses crumble as Edeya swung the sickle in her hand. Blood splattered as a huge cut appeared on her chest.
"Good, but this isn't enough if you want to stop me..." Elder Uiny said calmly as a raging tide
of energy burst out, pushing Poisonous Vine and Edeya away.
Boom!! "What is it this time?" Edeya narrowed her eyes. Her instincts told her it was dangerous.
"Oh? She's using the full might of her dream power," Poisonous Vine said, raising her
eyebrows with interest.
Zhang Ren and Captain Sarguan wore grim expressions. The aura emanating from Elder Uiny
was entirely different from before.
[Dream Power III]!
Elder Uiny had been toying with her dream power before, but now she was utilizing it to its full potential, the power that set the elders apart from the rest of them.
"This is bad... An expert at her level using that level of dream power," Amanda said in a low
voice.
She had heard from her comrades that Souta had fought someone with the same level of dream power. That dream beast was weak, and Souta had only played with it. The dream beast was nothing compared to the experts that had fought in the Selnes Country.
The only difference was that the dream beast Souta fought had weaker physical and energy levels compared to Elder Uiny. The only thing a dream beast could offer was its dream power. But if an expert like Elder Uiny were to utilize [Dream Power III], the result would be
devastating.
"It's fine for you to feel the power of an elder," Elder Uiny said, tightly closing her palm as her
dream power flared up.
In the next second, the entire scenery changed. An upside-down land formed in the sky, with countless volcanoes spewing molten rocks on its surface. Pillars of lava connected the ground and the land above. The temperature reached several million degrees Celsius.
"It's time," Elder Uiny declared, and a powerful wind swept out. Edeya, Zhang Ren, Captain Sarguan, and Poisonous Vine ignored it, but Princess Iris and Amanda were blown away. The barrier Amanda created was shattered in an instant. "This is something else... It seems we have to put more effort into this fight. This is the reason
why I left Walpurgis Night back then," Edeya said, forcing a smile as she looked at the elder. "Come, struggle with all of your might! Walpurgis Night will be destroyed tonight!" Elder Uiny proclaimed, facing the four experts who sought to stop her. She bent her knees and
charged forward with great momentum.
Swoosh!!
Edeya and the others didn't back down. They faced the mighty elder of the Walpurgis Night.
