Chapter 1167 - 677: Sending You to Meet Yeager!
On the battlefield,
after Holmes had his right arm severed by Lis, he hadn’t even reacted yet.
Even though he had raised his guard after witnessing Lis’s previous attacks, he did not expect the opponent’s attack to be so ferocious.
The most crucial part was that Lis did not engage in battle like a Mage casting spells, but rather like a combination of an assassin and a Warrior, directly severing his right arm.
In terms of both speed and strength, he was completely outmatched by someone who was a Shepherd Leader of the All Beast Church.
This is simply outrageous!
Holmes took several steps back, looking at Lis entangled once again with Lune and Juliana, his mood heavy.
He wasn’t a young man anymore, after all.
In fact, he was the oldest among the present Legends.
But nevermind Lune, he didn’t even have absolute confidence against the emerging Lis.
This made him a bit agitated, and his gaze towards Lis carried a tinge of hostility.
He glanced at his severed right arm, and without expression, exerted a little force, causing a brand-new arm to grow from the original wound.
And his severed arm, lying on the ground, bizarrely wriggled and expanded into a pitch-black wolf-like Magic Beast, exuding a sinister, bloodthirsty aura.
Under Holmes’s control, the Demon Wolf suddenly charged towards Lis’s lower body, baring its sharp teeth as if it wanted to tear off a piece of flesh from Lis’s body.
Lis glanced at Holmes, who was casting other Divine Arts, and the Demon Wolf rushing towards him. As he dodged Lune’s strike, he twisted his body and kicked the Demon Wolf away.
He could sense the increasingly dangerous and eerie aura emanating from Holmes, far more dangerous than before.
But among the few, the one bringing Lis the most pressure was still Lune.
Lis did not want to engage with this Divine Son now, as he had suffered significant setbacks in previous clashes. The opponent’s attacks carried a kind of sinister power, continually seeping into his body during their collisions.
Initially, Lis didn’t feel anything unusual, but noticing the system panel’s alert, he discovered it was an extremely peculiar abnormal status.
In the short term, it wouldn’t affect Lis’s combat ability, but as the battle prolonged, it would continuously accumulate and eventually accelerate his internal energy depletion.
And this depletion wasn’t disappearing into thin air but was meant to become the offering in the Hunting Ceremony to please the deity Hunting God Mara.
So, Lis was well aware that Lune wasn’t using his full power yet, but was instead continuing the battle with a leisurely, playing-with-prey mindset.
Do you think you have me cornered?
Lis anticipated this scenario, but didn’t rush to counterattack, opting instead to dodge slowly as before, trying to avoid collisions with Lune.
Among these three opponents, although Holmes and Juliana were strong, they were on the same Rank as Lis.
Lune was different; the overwhelming presence from the Path to Divinity left Lis unable to leverage many abilities against Lune.
Similarly, Lune found it easier to break through Lis’s defenses.
Lis didn’t rush; he was very clear that it should be the opponent who felt anxious.
As long as he could hold on, his allies would undoubtedly break through to join him.
The opponent not using their full strength to kill him indicated they believed they had him cornered, leaving room for other plans.
For example, Lune’s actions would perfect the Hunting Ceremony and yield more benefits, but ultimately require more time.
Moreover, facing the siege by three Legendary Strongmen, Lis endured immense pressure while continually growing.
After breaking through to become a Legend, he hadn’t faced exceptionally strong enemies, who hadn’t even forced Lis to exert his full strength.
This was because Lis had accumulated substantially before his breakthrough to become a Legend, so after the breakthrough, his power elevated to a considerably higher tier.
Far more powerful than those who barely broke into becoming Legends.
Thus, this battle truly made Lis feel the pressure between life and death.
Even though Lune was holding back, Lis could sense Holmes and Juliana were genuinely exerting themselves now.
Though Lis’s comprehensive abilities allowed him to deftly manage the attacks without obvious weaknesses for the opponents to exploit, the disparity in power gradually tilted the battle situation in their favor.
Especially given the peculiar nature of the opponents’ power, Lis had sustained considerable injuries and was starting to look a bit ragged.
However, Lis wasn’t in a rush, calmly neutralizing the enemy’s offensives one by one,
If not for mastering various Divine Arts and spells to continuously purify his negative status, his body, comparable to that of a Legendary Warrior Martial Monk, wouldn’t have allowed him to withstand the opponent’s attacks for so long.
As the battle progressed, Holmes and Juliana were increasingly astounded.
They were surprised by Lis’s earlier counterattacks but didn’t take them too seriously.
After all, it wasn’t much; many spells could achieve the same effect in a short time.
But the Lis before them had persisted for so long, and as the battle continued, his aura kept intensifying, becoming even sharper.
This astonishment was accompanied by a growing sense of urgency.
