Chapter 412: Chapter 229: How Can This Guy Fight So Unfairly? (Part 2)

The next instant!

"Boom!!"

Gelkuk suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Immediately, his entire body was hurled backward as if struck by a cannonball, flying five to six meters away, knocking down seven or eight elite Black Fist Army soldiers who had come to his aid like bowling pins.

But Raine’s attack was not yet over!

As his war boots hit the ground, dirt flew in all directions, and Raine’s speed suddenly increased dramatically.

But at that moment!

Suddenly, Raine’s movement halted abruptly, his pupils narrowing.

The next instant!

A dazzling white light shot into the ground two meters ahead, creating a deep hole the size of a fist.

Quickly glancing over.

He saw, not far away, Siegfried, the ’Light and Shadow Envoy,’ seemingly still maintaining the pose of casting a magical attack with his raised hand.

And as he turned his head, his gaze quickly captured the figures of Quasi-General Gregory and Meredith.

Both had varying degrees of scorch marks on their bodies, which, though not life-threatening, somewhat hampered their movement speed.

’Injured?’

’No wonder they couldn’t interrupt.’

Raine immediately understood.

This prevented them from completely interrupting Siegfried’s magic attack.

Especially those spells below the sixth level, which for someone like Siegfried, an extraordinary mage, required very short casting time.

In fact, such a spell level did not pose a great threat to Raine, but with the amplified power of the Realm of Light and Shadow, it did pose a significant threat to him.

Siegfried’s interference gave Black Fist Commander Gelkuk a rare moment of respite.

"Roar!!"

Gelkuk, who suddenly got up from the ground, wiped the bright red blood spilling from his mouth and let out a wild roar, grabbing his double-bladed giant axe tightly and charging toward him again at high speed.

And at this moment.

Raine’s ears twitched slightly as he heard Lilith’s incantation, rising sharply in pitch from a short distance away:

"With the bloodline of Grazte as a medium, I summon..."

And he could clearly see with his peripheral vision that around Lilith, a dense black fog of energy was forming, almost covering her vivid red magic robe.

Especially her eyes, shrouded in black mist, fixated on him, as if there was an irreconcilable hatred between them.

’It seems the summoning spell is nearing its end.’

’In that case...’

Raine looked again at the charging Black Fist Commander Gelkuk, a sharp glint in his eyes.

Now is the moment.

’Then I’ll go all out!’

Because if he couldn’t resolve Black Fist Commander Gelkuk and allowed the high-level demon Lilith summoned to join the battle,

even if he managed to turn the tide in the end, the losses on the kingdom’s side would likely be extremely severe.

In an instant!

Raine felt a large amount of spiritual power being drawn from his mind.

In exchange.

was the rapid gathering of frost energy in his hands!

Opposite him.

"Axe Blade Storm!"

Gelkuk, with his bloodthirsty, sharp fangs exposed, let out a loud roar, swinging his double-bladed giant axe swiftly from left to right!

The air was sliced into visible transparent streams, shooting out in all directions.

As they cut into the scattered corpses on the ground, they instantly emitted a sizzling, slicing sound, akin to a blade cutting through flesh, demonstrating their power.

In fact, this was Black Fist Commander Gelkuk’s killing skill—’Axe Blade Storm!’

Combining two or more advanced combat skills in a clever way that synergizes, they can unleash power far greater than the sum of their parts.

Only then can it be called a killing skill!

But the next second, it seemed Gelkuk saw a burst of light appear ahead.

It wasn’t the kind of dazzling light from Siegfried’s light magic.

Instead...

How to describe it?

A bit of a blue, soft hue, yet extremely intense.

When his pupils shrank slightly, attempting to see through the turbulent air stirred by the Axe Blade Storm to discern what that light was.

Suddenly!

The light rapidly expanded from small to large in the blink of an eye, appearing right before his eyes.

There was no time to dodge.

Gelkuk only felt a piercingly cold chill spreading from his hands, quickly reaching his forearms, shoulders, and throughout his body.

Even compared to the time he jumped into frozen seawater during the naval battle at Howling Fjord, it felt far colder.

It feels as if not only the flesh is frozen.

Even the thoughts have suddenly become stagnant!

’Am I unable to move?’

’Is this magic?’

’How can this person be so dishonorable? He actually used a Magic Scroll!’

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Black Fist Commander Gelkuk’s mind in an instant!

And just as Gelkuk raised the Giant Axe, standing motionless like an ice sculpture, his still-seeing eyes noticed a small black dot coming closer to him.

The target seemed to aim directly at his forehead!

’The hammer?’

As this thought crossed his mind.

Suddenly!

A sharp pain came over, Gelkuk only felt his vision go dark, and he fell into eternal darkness!

The first to notice this scene was Henry, commanding the battle under the protection of the Royal Guard.

Unlike Quasi-General Gregory and Meredith, who were fully focused, tenaciously engaging Siegfried, Henry had a more global perspective.

At this moment, his eyes widened, unable to hide his excitement, surprise, and thrill!

"He actually killed Black Fist Commander Gelkuk!"

"This Epic Level Shield was worth it!"

...

And in the eyes of the enemy.

Especially Lilith’s eyes, the reflection at this moment was also of Raine hammering and shattering Black Fist Commander Gelkuk’s forehead, her delicate face showing an indescribable mix of emotions.

Because just seconds before.

Lilith was still thinking that once she completed her summoning, she could avenge her past defeat, completely vanquishing this young man named Raine!

But unexpectedly, just seconds before the summoning finished, her side’s Transcendent, Black Fist Commander Gelkuk, was executed by that guy.

And moreover.

Not with Combat Skills!

Not with a Killing Skill!

It was High Tier Ice Spell!

Perhaps others didn’t notice, but Lilith saw it clearly because her eyes had been locked on the opponent, that young man named Raine, who didn’t pull out a Magic Scroll or touch any Magic Equipment, but directly executed it.

’Damn it!’

’How is this possible?!’

’A sixth-level spell only Extraordinary Tier Mages can master, he just cast it out?’

The violent fluctuations in her emotions nearly disrupted the spell’s cadence.

Thankfully!

Her spell completed its last word at this moment.

"Boom!"

A black pillar of light soared into the sky within the inverted pentagram array, large clouds of black mist roiling and expanding.

Vaguely, a demon with straight twin horns and a massive physique was crawling out from the array.

"Bang!!"

Dirt splattered.

The first thing to emerge was a pair of terrifying claws resembling giant crabs, over three meters long.

Additionally.

Beneath the claws, beneath the side of its ribs, seemed to grow a pair of strong human arms that were now bracing against the array’s ground, attempting to pull its massive body from the abyss.

"This is...."

"It’s actually an elite seduction demon!"

"Haha! I actually managed to summon an elite seduction demon with at least a Level 11 challenge!"

Lilith’s face immediately showed a look of relief, gratitude, and excitement.

And on the other side.

Having just executed the White Dragon Monster Skill ’Polar Ray’ and slain Gelkuk, Raine flicked off a small amount of red and white residue stuck on his silver Warhammer, scanning his surroundings.

Glancing past a crowd of frightened expressions, the elite troops of the Black Fist Army retreating without pause.

He quickly fixed upon the huge and peculiar silhouette at the center of the black array.

Only to see a grotesque demon with a pair of giant, bizarre claws, and a pair of human arms, crawling out from the array.

’Seems the timing was just right.’

’Elite seduction demon?’

Upon hearing Lilith’s exclamation filled with surprise and delight, Raine couldn’t help but ponder the origins of the demon before him.

’Never heard of it...’

’Then...how about giving it a swing of the hammer first?’

....
