Chapter 229: The Flame Archangel Appears, Brain's Blood Boils
The faint green glow faded.
The Green Leaf Witch dispelled the [Plant Growth] magic, preventing the flames from spreading along the plants and causing secondary damage.
Without the plants as fuel, the flames were completely extinguished by a blast of cold wind, revealing the three figures on the carriage.
"They blocked it?"
On the hill to the left, a magic chanter's expression changed when he saw that the [Fireball] he had cast didn't cause the destruction he had imagined.
"Is it the effect of a magic item?"
"Fireball!"
A burning, orange-red ball of flame was cast once more, while at the same time, blue lightning burst forth from the hillside on the right.
[Lightning Strike]!
The two third-tier attribute magic spells once again attacked the positions of the Evil Spirit Hound and the carriage respectively. Although the magic was simple, the clearly targeted attacks instantly suppressed Tang Zheng's side.
[Lightning Strike] was an extremely fast piercing magic, capable of suppressing the Evil Spirit Hound, while [Fireball] would explode upon contact with its target.
With an ordinary person like Enri on the carriage, an area-of-effect explosion could also restrict the movements of Tang Zheng's group of three.
"Kill them!"
"Slaughter these guys."
"We'll be rich!"
"Hahahaha!"
At the same time, a full forty members of the mercenary group, under the suppressive magic of two magic chanters from the Death Spreading Sword Corps, had already charged down from the hillsides.
Faced with such a scene, even Enri snapped out of her daze, her knuckles white as she tightly gripped her short sword, warily watching the charging mercenaries.
"Roar!"
The Evil Spirit Hound roared and leaped away, its fierce beastly pupils fixed on the incoming blue lightning as it violently shook its head.
*Swoosh—*
The bone chain coiled around its body shot out like a slithering snake.
*Boom!*
The bone chain collided with the lightning strike in mid-air, creating a deafening roar. The blue lightning exploded, momentarily dimming the surroundings.
The "bone chain" looked like a black metal chain, but it was actually made of an extremely lightweight, hard bone, so it was not conductive.
*Pfft—*
Wisps of white steam rose from the red-hot tip of the bone chain!
The Evil Spirit Hound's four limbs landed, sliding for about two meters. It retracted the bone chain and re-coiled it around its body.
The magic chanter who had cast [Lightning Strike] stared wide-eyed. "How can this be!"
That was third-tier magic.
It was just a mere Evil Spirit Hound! It would have been one thing if it had dodged, but to think it could take it head-on!
"[Corrosive Destruction]!"
*Rumble!*
A corrosive glob of liquid collided with the fireball and exploded, the two forces canceling each other out.
On the other side, Brain and Captain Fikampa, who had been watching the battle intently, both fixed their gazes on the Evil Spirit Hound.
It was not surprising that the green-haired girl, a magic chanter, could easily block the [Fireball] attack.
But the fact that the Evil Spirit Hound could block third-tier magic left them both astonished.
"I remember the difficulty level of a monster like the Evil Spirit Hound is only between '40-45', right?"
Captain Fikampa was first astonished, then his expression turned ugly. "Third-tier magic should have been enough to kill it, yet it blocked it!"
The plan had gone wrong again and again.
This made Captain Fikampa's expression even more ferocious, his body radiating a malevolent aura.
First, the trap they had set failed. Then, the plan to kill the Evil Spirit Hound pulling the carriage to prevent Tang Zheng's group from leaving easily had also failed.
"Heh."
"In the face of true power, so-called plans and setups are nothing but trash."
Brain rested one hand on the sword hilt at his waist and spoke lazily. His brown eyes lingered briefly on the Evil Spirit Hound and the Green Leaf Witch before shifting to his real target.
Even from a distance, he couldn't make out the expression on Tang Zheng's face, but Brain could still sense an air of composure from his figure.
"Haha, your words are as harsh as ever," Captain Fikampa grinned and laughed, not the least bit angry.
Because the true trump card of the Death Spreading Sword Corps was Brain himself.
On the road below, screams and agonized wails began to rise.
The magic chanters on the small hills on either side managed to temporarily suppress the Evil Spirit Hound and the Green Leaf Witch by continuously casting magic.
But the extent of their suppression was clearly limited!
Faced with the armed members of the mercenary group closing in from all directions, the Evil Spirit Hound and the Green Leaf Witch were still able to mount a certain degree of counterattack.
However, with the advantage in numbers, a portion of the numerous mercenaries soon broke through the defenses of the Evil Spirit Hound and the Green Leaf Witch, gradually approaching the carriage.
"Lord." The Green Leaf Witch's gaze was ice-cold, her green hair shifting slightly.
She could no longer resist the urge to slaughter all the humans before her, but her repertoire of magic didn't include any area-of-effect attack spells.
"There are quite a few of them. The advantage of numbers does have its uses," Tang Zheng said, glancing around and holding up a hand toward the Green Leaf Witch.
He knew the Green Leaf Witch wanted to let the Dense Fog Witch hidden within her take action, but Tang Zheng waved his hand to stop her.
"The real protagonist hasn't shown up yet. Are they trying to test me? Fine by me."
Tang Zheng mused, his eyelids lifting slightly.
"Second-Tier Magic: [Shockwave]!"
"Quick Stab!"
Among the approaching mercenaries, there was clearly no shortage of skilled fighters. A magic chanter, deliberately dressed in black leather armor to look like a warrior, came around to Tang Zheng's flank under the protection of several mercenaries and raised a hand to cast a spell.
At the same time, a rogue also leaped out from behind, a dagger in hand, and stabbed forward.
The two of them launched a pincer attack from front and back. No matter which one he dealt with, he would inevitably be hit by the other.
Enri's pupils contracted. She charged forward without hesitation, shielding Tang Zheng. "Lord Captain!"
*Bang! Bang!*
Suddenly, two dazzling beams of white light appeared on the field, coalescing in mid-air into two holy figures.
Flame Archangel!
One Flame Archangel swung its flame sword, slashing down at the [Shockwave] and blocking the attack.
*Crack!*
The other Flame Archangel easily blocked the rogue. The dagger struck the Flame Archangel's silver-white armor, not even leaving a white mark.
The rogue stared in terror at the Flame Archangel that had appeared out of thin air.
*Psh!*
The flame sword thrust out, piercing through the rogue's chest.
"Ahhh!!" The rogue let out a bloodcurdling scream that was abruptly cut short.
The Flame Archangel lifted its arm, and the flame-covered sword blade sliced the rogue in two as easily as cutting tofu.
Two Flame Archangels, each glowing with a faint white light, hovered beside Tang Zheng, causing the previously excited mercenaries to freeze.
