The clash between the Human-God Captain and Shalltear had only lasted ten seconds. Due to his obstruction, the attacking forces in the passage were no longer hindered and rushed out of the cave entrance.
A Seraphim of Radiance flew overhead of the Human-God Captain, heading towards the arrayed Undead nearby, while other members of the Black Scripture immediately assisted the Human-God Captain in attacking Shalltear.
Seventh Tier: [Elemental Torrent]!
Eighth Tier: [Domain of Light]!
Waves of energy mixed with the power of the Four Great Elements impacted Shalltear like a beam cannon, and at the same time, a holy magic circle appeared beneath her feet, and the light power that restrained the Undead continuously spread upwards along her legs.
Feeling a slight pain, Shalltear couldn't help but be enraged, and with a sweep of her gaze, she locked onto the spellcasters.
An old Magic Caster holding a magic staff, and a languid woman sitting on a floating magic orb—the Four Elemental Grand Magic and Infinite Magic.
The Great Tomb Guardians all acquired a certain degree of magic cancellation ability through the effects of their items. Although spells above Sixth Tier could cause them damage, if they weren't of Ninth or Tenth Tier, the amount of damage they could inflict was actually not much.
Therefore, Shalltear immediately decided not to defend against the Four Elemental Grand Magic and Infinite Magic attacks, but instead to prioritize eliminating these two flies by trading injury for injury!
Not good!
Although Shalltear's actions were decisive, the Human-God Captain, who had been guarding against her, realized her intent the moment she raised her hand and immediately rushed forward.
Not only him, but other members of the Black Scripture also made their move.
Strongest Human held his battle-axe with both hands, blocking in front of the two Infinite Magic like a giant shield, acting as their guard.
God-Realm Shackles swung controlling magic chains, which wrapped around Shalltear like two venomous snakes.
Just then, Aura, standing behind Shalltear, made her move!
She took out the magic greatbow that had been equipped by the Supreme Beings and instantly shot a dense rain of arrows, covering the Black Scripture members like a rain curtain.
La la la~
A ethereal song resonated in everyone's ears, and Sacred Chant, slowly walking out of the passage, came beside the two Infinite Magic, and a magical light circle enveloped all the Black Scripture members, forming a protective barrier.
Magic arrows clanged as they landed on the Black Scripture members, but they were all blocked by the protective barrier, failing to halt their actions.
The Human-God Captain's rapid assault came directly, and Shalltear had to temporarily abandon her spellcasting on the Infinite Magic, using her spear to engage in close combat with the Human-God Captain.
Aura, who was on the side, prepared to continue her support, but as she drew her greatbow, she felt danger erupting from her side.
A summoned magic circle suddenly expanded, and a gigantic petrified lizard king leaped out from it, opening its huge mouth to bite Aura!
"Oh, that was dangerous."
Aura lightly leaped backward, avoiding the petrified lizard king's attack, still having some energy left.
However, the opponent's attack wasn't just that.
As if her evasion had been anticipated, while Aura was airborne, a shadow wolf king pounced from the shadows behind her, and simultaneously, a red owl king swiftly swept from not far away.
The one capable of simultaneously commanding multiple magical beasts to attack was naturally the One-Man Army of the Black Scripture.
Feeling a slight pressure, Aura quickly put away the greatbow in her hand and took out her other weapon—the [Queen's Whip].
With a quick flick of her arm, the [Queen's Whip] coiled around the shadow wolf king's open mouth like a nimble snake, binding it tightly, and using pulling force to move her body, she dodged the red owl king's sharp claws.
After landing on her feet, she pulled the long whip with all her might, throwing the shadow wolf king, which was bound by the whip, towards the pouncing petrified lizard king.
In a flash, Aura skillfully resolved her crisis and escaped the combined pincer attack of the three magical beasts.
Truly not to be underestimated.
The One-Man Army's eyes narrowed, and he continued to summon magical beasts to attack Aura. He wasn't trying to inflict much damage on the enemy; his sole purpose was to restrict her movements, allowing the Human-God Captain to focus on dealing with the powerful vampire.
On the other side, Shalltear held her spear to parry the Human-God Captain's thrusts, surprised to find that his strength was even greater than before.
It turned out that Infinite Magic, Four Elemental Grand Magic, and Sacred Chant had found that their magical attacks weren't very effective against her, and instead used various buffing spells to enhance the Human-God Captain's attributes.
At this point, the advantage of group combat became clear. There was no need for him to cast various enhancement spells on himself; he could rely on his teammates' assistance for appropriate buffs, and also receive defensive support when the battle was at an unfavorable position.
The spear in the Human-God Captain's hand once again shone, indicating that he had used some kind of attacking skill, and he thrust towards Shalltear.
Shalltear was about to cast a defensive spell when two chains, one above and one below, shot from behind her, binding one of her hands and one of her legs.
And for some unknown reason, Shalltear felt that her internal magical power seemed to be disturbed, and the defensive spell she was about to cast completely failed!
Pfft!
Accompanied by the sound of metal being pierced, the spear's light penetrated Shalltear's back, spraying specks of blood into the air.
Seeing the spear piercing her chest, Shalltear was furious and forced the Human-God Captain back with a full-force attack.
"[Cleanse Lance]!"
A gigantic war god's spear, over three meters long, quickly materialized and shot forth like lightning under the guidance of her will, targeting God-Realm Shackles!
This special skill, which consumed MP to grant a 'guaranteed hit' effect, could not be dodged. [Cleanse Lance] was incredibly fast, too fast for anyone to react.
With a 'pffft' sound, God-Realm Shackles, who was controlling the chains to restrain Shalltear, was instantly pierced through the body, spitting out a large amount of blood.
[Cleanse Lance] automatically disappeared after completing its attack, and God-Realm Shackles fell to the ground with a thud, his aura like a flickering candle in the wind, threatening to extinguish at any moment.
"Edgar!"
The sudden turn of events shocked the Black Scripture members; the Human-God Captain quickly attacked Shalltear to prevent her from pursuing God-Realm Shackles, and Sacred Chant rapidly approached, using healing magic and potions to stabilize God-Realm Shackles' wounds.
It was only because God-Realm Shackles' level had increased that he wasn't instantly killed by Shalltear's attack, without even a chance to be saved. Nevertheless, even with Sacred Chant's support, he only temporarily stabilized his injuries; no members specializing in healing magic were present, so it was impossible for him to continue fighting.
"Take Edgar and retreat first!"
The Human-God Captain used a full-force attack to suppress Shalltear, taking the opportunity to issue a retreat order to his teammates behind him.
"Yes!"
The Black Scripture members reacted extremely quickly; Strongest Human, who wasn't participating in the battle, stepped forward to carry the injured God-Realm Shackles on his back and ran towards the passage behind.
Infinite Magic, Four Elemental Grand Magic, and One-Man Army fully unleashed their magic or commanded their magical beasts to block Shalltear and Aura's actions, while also slowly retreating themselves.
Seeing their movements, Aura, who was surrounded by numerous magical beasts, showed a look of annoyance, "Nazarick isn't a place you can come and go as you please!"
The giant scroll on her back suddenly unfurled, and an illusory power swept the surroundings, instantly plunging the area into an ink-wash landscape painting-like atmosphere.
This was precisely the effect of the World Item [Sheji Diagram of Mountains and Rivers].
