Chapter 339 Holy Flame Judgment, Purification
Taking advantage of the situation, Karl used Charge followed by Shield Slam to knock and smash a Hellfire imp that was trying to pounce on Helena.
Helena tapped her staff lightly, and a [Frost Nova] bloomed from her center, freezing the other imps that surrounded her.
The battle proceeded smoothly, with the BOSS's health steadily decreasing under the burning of holy light and the corrosive effects of frost.
Emily's tactics were clear: she would tank, deal the main damage, and interrupt key attacks; Carl would fill in any gaps and protect Helena; and Helena would control the battlefield and provide additional damage.
The three of them worked together like a perfectly coordinated machine of holy light, extremely efficient.
Just as Malzahar's health dropped to 40% and he was about to enter the second phase, summoning more undead to aid him in battle—
The chilling voice of the "[System Announcement Across the Continent]" was like a cold wind from the depths of hell, blowing into this sanctuary shrouded in evil, and also into the resolute and focused hearts of Emily and her two companions.
[…Level 50…Ultimate Advancement…Preliminary Rounds of the Battle of the Multiverse…Starting in 7 days…]
Emily's warhammer lingered in mid-air for an extremely slight pause, a fraction of a second. The holy light flickered in response.
Karl raised the tower shield, but the angle was off by an inch.
Helena was chanting the [Blizzard] spell when the last syllable trembled almost imperceptibly.
A storm raged in the hearts of all three.
Level 50? Someone's reached that level? Final Advancement? What level is that? Preliminary Rounds... mandatory participation? Seven days later?
The impact of the information was enormous, especially for a small team like theirs with a firm will and clear goals. This announcement not only meant unknown challenges, but could also completely disrupt their original pace and plans.
"roar--!!!"
The demon lord Malzak would not let his opponent's momentary lapse in concentration slip by!
A cunning glint flashed in its crimson eyes. Taking advantage of the moment when Emily attacked Weyton, Karl's defenses were weak, and Helena's spells were unstable, it suddenly opened its massive maw full of fangs. Instead of spewing flames or shadows, it let out an extremely sharp, soul-piercing [Screaming of Fear]!
The invisible sound waves, mixed with the terrifying will of the abyss, instantly swept across the entire area!
Emily, who was the first to be affected, felt as if countless vengeful spirits were wailing in her mind, and her connection with the Holy Light seemed to be briefly disrupted. A chilling sense of fear grew from the bottom of her heart.
She groaned, her body swaying, the holy light shield flickering.
Karl was a bit further away, and his [Unwavering Barrier] talent provided some resistance to mental effects, but his movements were noticeably slower, and he was a half-beat slower in raising his shield to defend.
Helena, who was mainly responsible for controlling the situation and had relatively high concentration, was the most affected!
Her delicate body trembled violently, her face drained of color, and the [Blizzard] spell she was channeling was abruptly interrupted. The backlash caused a trickle of blood to spill from the corner of her mouth, and she fell into a brief state of [Fear], standing frozen in place!
"Helena!" Karl's eyes widened in horror.
Malzac grinned maliciously, abandoning Emily, and his greatsword, burning with evil flames, drew a deadly arc, slashing straight at Helena, who was temporarily unable to defend herself!
At the same time, black energy surged from its body, and more skeleton warriors and wailing banshees crawled out from the ground, rushing towards Emily and Carl to entangle them.
A crisis struck in an instant!
At this critical moment—
"Holy Light, never yield!"
A clear, firm shout, seemingly capable of dispelling all gloom and fear, rang out! It was Emily!
The slight surprise that had just appeared in her eyes was instantly replaced by an even more dazzling and ardent holy light!
The light did not come from her weapon or armor, but from within her body, as if her soul itself was burning with a pure flame!
SSS-level talent [Holy Flame Judgment], fully activated!
Om-!
Centered on Emily, a pure halo with a faint golden flame suddenly spread out, instantly sweeping past Karl and Helena, as well as the approaching undead!
【Holy Halo - Purification】!
Wherever the halo passed, the [Fear] status on Helena vanished instantly, as if ice and snow were melting away!
Her bewildered eyes cleared, and when she saw the giant sword coming at her, she gasped and instinctively tried to dodge, but her body was still stiff from the backlash.
The undead that lunged at Emily and Carl, upon touching the halo, hissed as if doused with concentrated sulfuric acid, their movements slowed considerably, and purifying white smoke billowed from their bodies.
The demon lord Malzak, who was the first to be hit, was struck head-on by the spreading golden aura halfway through his greatsword strike!
The evil flames on the sword dimmed rapidly as if it had encountered its nemesis. It let out a painful roar, and its slashing motion was abruptly stopped and twisted. The sword edge narrowly missed Helena's side, only severing a few strands of her flowing hair before embedding itself deeply into the ground.
"Karl!" Emily didn't even have time to catch her breath as she pointed her warhammer at Malzak.
"Understood!" Karl roared, taking advantage of the moment when the undead were weakened by the aura, he activated [Support], his body smashing through the two skeletons like a cannonball, instantly appearing to Malzak's side. With all his strength, he slammed the tower shield into the demon's exposed ribs where the attack had missed!
Bang! Crack!
The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible! Marzak's massive body was slammed to the side several steps by this long-awaited blow, losing his balance once again.
"Helena, use Frost Nova to restrict the undead! Then unleash a barrage of Frostbolts on the boss!"
Emily gave rapid instructions while raising her warhammer high. Dense, almost tangible holy light gathered above her head, transforming into a massive, golden, fiery phantom of a light hammer.
"Holy Flame - Judgment Hammer!"
The light hammer, imbued with the majesty and heat to purify everything, crashed down upon Malzak, who was dazed and disoriented by Karl's impact!
boom--!!!
Holy light and evil flames collided, unleashing a blinding light and a deafening roar!
The demon lord's dark shield shattered like paper, a charred hole was smashed into his chest, green demonic blood gushed out like a spring, and his health plummeted instantly!
Helena, enduring her discomfort, quickly unleashed [Frost Ring] to freeze the undead that had surrounded her again. Then, she fired several enhanced [Frostbolts], precisely hitting Malzak's wounds and intensifying the frost's corrosive effects.
The balance of power in the battle was regained and quickly tilted again thanks to Emily's decisive action and swift command at a crucial moment.
Five minutes later.
As Emily's final [Hammer of Wrath], infused with all of Holy Light, pierced Malzak's head, the powerful dual-elemental lord let out a wail filled with endless resentment and unwillingness. His massive body crashed to the ground, turning into ashes, leaving behind only a pile of spoils shimmering with various colors of light.
The battle is over, and the dungeon is cleared.
