He has used a lot of his blood while fighting against the monsters and a bit of it to shield himself while butchering seeds of evil, and now his previous actions left him with a measly amount of ten units of blood; so low that he could only use three of his special moves before he runs out of blood.
'I need to be careful from now on. I don't know what will happen once my blood count drops to zero, but I am confident it won't be good. As long as everything goes according to his plan, we will slay it in a single strike. Then I can go to the subspace to refill my blood count.' Vincent thought in his mind as the crimson spear cut through the air with a sharp sound.
"Hmph! Petty tricks," the tree voice sounded as numerous vines with budding pink flowers grow rose from the floor of the lair of evil, suddenly creating three walls of defense.
The spear penetrated through the first two walls of vines without slowing down.
However, as it was branching out of the third wall of vines, many wooden branches stretched forth from the body of the Tree of Evil and wrapped around the crimson spear of death, forcefully stopping it in its track.
With a little bit of force, the crimson spear shattered into several dozens of pieces, falling to the ground.
"It is a lot more powerful than you expected," John said as he looked at Varth.
"Well, I thought that since it had only managed to enslave a monster below the demonic realm, it should also be below the demonic realm. I guess I was wrong. It's at least a step into the demonic realm. Nothing to worry about because we will win as long as we play our cards right." He replied in a low voice so that only his teammate will hear his words.
At that very moment, a coarse and agitated voice sounded in their ears.
"My lair is not a place for the living. The very fact that you four are still alive has enraged me enough to sacrifice a portion of my powers to slay all of you."
At the same time, as they heard those words, the crown on top of the head of the Tree of Evil began to glow golden. As the golden glow reached out to the surrounding areas, the leaves started to detach from the crown one at a time. This attack was the ultimate offensive demonic ability of the Tree of Evil. The power of this demonic ability was another story from what a being at the magical rea could ever wield.
More than 600 leaves with sharp pointed ends floated below the ceiling of the lair of evil, ready to strike them down at a moment's notice.
"Now, give up your life!"
Out of the six hundred leaves floating above them, a few hundred cut through the air, launch towards them as the most potent arrows.
Vincent immediately raised his hands from where blood burst forth and ended up in a dome of blood protecting the group from the approaching dagger.
‹ Blood Count: 5/50 ›
Clink!
Clink!
Clink!
The very next second, clattering sounds sounded in their ears, as leaves fell like raindrops and crashed on his dome of blood several at a time, showing no signs of stopping anytime soon.
"I got your back!" Layla thought as she raised her hand to touch the ceiling of the crimson dome before using her ice powers to the limit to conjure an ice wall just behind it when in that very moment, Vincent crimson dome shattered into pieces, and the very next instant, the leaves started to crash on top of her ice shield.
"I can't hold on much longer," Leilani said through gritted teeth as she fortified her shattering shield with another layer of ice.
"Am on it," While saying that, the last bit of the crystal with a golden radiance he had inserted into the triangular slot of his battle gear successfully dissolve into golden energy.
"Varth, how long will it take?" John asked in a hurried tone after a moment as the massive cracks appearing on the ice shield created by his sister.
The ice shield, although being fortified with Leilani powers continuously, wasn't going to hold for long as the speed of fortifications couldn't keep up with the rate at which the leaves damaged it.
The very next second, Varth smiled behind his mask, and he said, "Good job, guys. Move back."
As soon as he said those words, Vincent wrapped his hands around his girlfriend's petite waist and stepped back to stand beside John.
At that very moment, a confident voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"It's my turn now!"
‹ The battle gear has generated the Barrier of the Celestial ›
A vast amount of golden radiance burst forth from the shield of ice, and if one looks carefully enough, one will see numerous golden lines representing a figure of a cross-legged man with a crown on top of his head manifesting around them in an instant.
These lines intertwined into a semi-transparent spherical shield with invincible defense!
After Leilani's ice shield shattered under its frontal assault, a few hundred leaves as sharp as metallic daggers crashed on the golden protection in a few moments.
However, it didn't show any signs of even cracking.
The golden shield happened to be so powerful that it caused the eyes of the tree of evil to open wide as sauces and its teeth-filled mouth to open wide enough for its horrific jaw to drop to the ground.
"I don't believe it," said the tree of evil as it launched a wave of attack by picking up the leaves that have fallen to the ground with its outstretched wooden branches and lashing them out at them.
Yet, all of its attacks proved futile!
The golden shield radiance dimmed slightly, but not a single crack appeared on its surface.
On the other hand, the group of four has been preparing an ultimate move of their own.
"Are you done?" Vincent asked as he looked at Leilani.
"Yes, I am ready!" Leilani said as sweat slip from her forehead down to her cheeks and onto the floor of the lair of evil.
