High in the sky, Shalltear, dressed in her red gothic lolita dress, stood poised in the air.
Suddenly, under the wary gazes of the Captain and his two companions, a dazzling light erupted from around Shalltear.
"Be careful!"
"It's starting!"
The Captain already had a psychological shadow regarding Shalltear.
Seeing that Shalltear seemed to be preparing for something, he immediately tightened his grip on his long spear.
He also called out to Time Turbulence and the Strongest Human behind him.
Hearing the Captain's words, Time Turbulence and Strongest Human also summoned their weapons and assumed fighting stances.
Soon, the dazzling light around Shalltear faded.
They saw that the red gothic lolita dress on Shalltear had completely disappeared.
In its place was a set of crimson battle armor.
In her hand, she also held a sharp Spuit Lance.
Although Shalltear had only changed her clothes, the aura surrounding her had undergone an earth-shaking transformation.
If the Shalltear in the gothic lolita dress could still be considered cute, then Shalltear in red battle armor was like a Valkyrie.
"This is..."
The Captain looked at the armored, spear-wielding Shalltear before him, his face changing dramatically.
After all, back in the Katze Plains, Shalltear had not been wearing armor.
But now, Shalltear was clad in battle armor.
The Captain could tell that the armor on Shalltear was definitely no ordinary item.
Shalltear slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing the fearful expressions on the faces of the Captain and his two companions, she said with a teasing tone:
"Are you ready?"
"It's starting now!"
As soon as Shalltear finished speaking, the burly Strongest Human immediately overcame the fear in his heart.
"I'll go first!"
He let out a low grunt, then, holding a huge battle-axe, charged explosively towards Shalltear.
Although the Strongest Human had a large build, his speed was not slow at all.
In the blink of an eye, he had charged in front of Shalltear.
"Haah...!"
The Strongest Human roared, raising the battle-axe high in his hands, then brought it down towards Shalltear with a force that seemed capable of splitting the world.
Facing this impressively powerful strike from the Strongest Human, a curve lifted the corner of Shalltear's mouth, revealing her pair of cute fangs.
However, when the Captain saw this expression on Shalltear's face, his expression changed, and he shouted loudly: "Danger!"
As soon as the Captain's warning left his mouth, Shalltear casually swung the Spuit Lance in her hand.
Whoosh-
A crimson light flashed through the air.
Immediately after, the battle-axe in the Strongest Human's hands was cleanly split in two, as if it were tofu.
And a spray of blood flew from the Strongest Human's body.
"So strong!"
Seeing that Shalltear had, in just one encounter, not only severed the Strongest Human's battle-axe but also wounded him, Time Turbulence's face paled dramatically.
Although, from the Captain's description, she knew this vampire was strong, she hadn't expected Shalltear to be powerful to such an extent.
The Strongest Human was considered a strong fighter even within the Black Scripture.
But before Shalltear, he couldn't withstand a single move.
"Oh my, was my strike too light?"
"You're still conscious?"
While Time Turbulence and the Captain were inwardly shocked, Shalltear looked at the slashed Strongest Human before her, who hadn't died, and commented indifferently.
Then, she raised her arm.
In the next second, an ethereal spear materialized in her palm.
"Not good!"
Seeing the ethereal spear materialize in Shalltear's hand, the Captain's face changed.
He recognized that ethereal spear.
Back in the Katze Plains, Shalltear had used this very move, Purifying Javelin, to take out the Eighth and Ninth Seats of the Black Scripture in one go.
Now, seeing Shalltear use this move again, how could the Captain not be terrified?
"Danger!"
Hearing the Captain's extremely urgent shout, the Strongest Human's mind also jolted.
Without any hesitation, he immediately activated his defensive mode.
But at this moment, a look of disdain appeared on Shalltear's face, and she threw the ethereal energy spear in her hand.
"Purifying Javelin!"
With a casual swing of Shalltear's hand, the energy spear shot towards the Strongest Human at an astonishing speed.
Whoosh-
Suddenly, the energy spear vanished into thin air.
A magic circle appeared right in front of the Strongest Human.
The energy spear emerged from the magic circle, almost at point-blank range, and directly pierced through the Strongest Human's burly body.
From the moment Shalltear threw the energy spear until it pierced the Strongest Human's body, only a blink of an eye had passed.
Not only did the Strongest Human himself fail to react in time, but even the Captain and Time Turbulence couldn't react either.
By the time the Captain and Time Turbulence realized what was happening, all they saw was the ethereal energy spear piercing through Strongest Human's body.
Witnessing this scene, Time Turbulence was utterly horrified.
Although the Captain had seen Shalltear use [Purifying Javelin] once before, seeing her use it again now to kill Strongest Human still sent waves of shock crashing through his heart.
This time, the Captain saw clearly: Shalltear's attack was a homing attack.
It ignored distance and defense.
It had even instantly killed Strongest Human.
If Shalltear used this move on them again, they would undoubtedly die.
The Captain didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately turned and shouted loudly to Time Turbulence, "Retreat, now!"
The Captain's voice exploded in Time Turbulence's ears like thunder.
Although Time Turbulence was still in a state of extreme shock, she was no ordinary person.
She quickly recovered from her shock and immediately fled into the distance with the Captain.
"The 30 seconds aren't up yet, and you're running away directly? That's against the rules, you know!"
After saying this, Shalltear materialized another ethereal energy spear in her hand.
"Purifying Javelin!"
Shalltear threw another spear.
Whoosh-
Just like before, the ethereal energy spear, while moving at high speed, suddenly vanished.
In the next second, a magic circle appeared behind Temporal Vortex.
The vanished energy spear instantly shot out from the magic circle, directly piercing through Time Turbulence's body.
Gush-
Time Turbulence immediately vomited a mouthful of blood.
She looked down at the ethereal spear that had pierced her body, her face filled with disbelief.
Soon, her body began to fall towards the ground below in free fall.
Seeing this, the Captain was horrified.
'Even from such a distance, she was instantly caught up with and killed.'
'It was clear that continuing to flee would be useless.'
Gritting his teeth, the Captain hardened his expression and immediately stabilized his posture.
When the Captain turned around, he saw Shalltear in the distance materializing a third ethereal energy spear in her hand.
Looking at the ethereal spear that had slain four members of the Black Scripture, a desperate expression also appeared on the Captain's face.
However, just as Shalltear was about to throw the ethereal spear in her hand, a white pillar of light suddenly descended from the sky.
Immediately after, Antilene Heran Fouche materialized from within the light pillar.
Now, looking at the appeared Antilene, a look of having narrowly escaped death appeared on the Captain's face.
