Chapter 453: Chapter 392: Action and Capture (Part 2)
Anya’s figure appeared like a ghost, without any pause, she spread her hands, and a rich spiritual light of nature erupted from her!
"Answer my summoning, my companions!"
With her clear chanting, countless Spirits of Nature of various shapes surged from her body—swift lightning elves, sturdy rock defenders, lively vine spirits, and fiery, explosive fire elementals...
They rushed like soldiers receiving orders, roaring towards the turbulent cluster below, preparing to focus fire on Jem’s Light Cluster Army.
A large number of elemental spirits instantly collided with the outermost light clusters, triggering a series of energy explosions and light splashes.
Successfully disrupting the formation of the light cluster legion, alleviating the pressure that Jem was about to endure.
And it was at the moment when the Lord of Light Beings, due to pain and anger, locked the majority of energy and spirit on Jem, preparing to launch a thunderous counterattack.
Two slender, pitch-black figures, seemingly condensed from the deepest shadow, silently appeared on either side of the Lord of Light Beings.
Their height was only about two meters, tiny compared to the enormous Lord of Light Beings, enveloped entirely by flowing black metallic liquid, devouring all surrounding light, with only their eye sockets flashing cold rational spirit light.
Black Giant Priests, arrived.
No roar, no external pressure.
But their mere presence caused the angry spiritual fluctuations of the Lord of Light Beings to suddenly pause, as if doused with ice-cold water.
A fear stemming from life’s instinctive dread towards higher-level predators or enemies, mixed with that peculiar "suction" transmitted from the opponent (the Black Giant’s hunger for energy).
The Lord of Light Beings instantly understood—the true fatal threat was here!
No room for communication, the battle erupted in an instant!
The Lord of Light Beings abandoned the pursuit of Jem, light surged, and countless concentrated high-temperature rays and shock waves bombarded the two Black Giant Priests.
Meanwhile, the two Black Giant Priests displayed terrifying speed and tactical coordination that contradicted their size.
One confronted head-on, the black liquid on its surface surged, devouring the incoming energy attacks like a bottomless abyss.
The other bizarrely melded into the surrounding shadow where light and dark intertwined, acted opportunistically, each appearance left a peculiar attack with energy absorption effects on the Lord of Light Beings, accelerating its energy drain.
In a blink, the core battlefield was cleared by the aftershock of the sixth-level creatures’ confrontation.
Jem seized the opportunity to phase shift a short distance, escaping from the most dangerous area, appearing beside Anya.
"Nice coordination," Anya commented briefly, her hands never stopping.
She directed the army of Spirits of Nature to fight in a melee with the Light Cluster Army, but she didn’t employ that signature "life energy attraction" witchcraft.
"That move is ineffective in crowd battles?" Jem noticed the detail.
"Yes," Anya nodded, punching a fourth-level light cluster attempting to sneak attack, causing its light to scatter and fly away, "too much life energy gathering interferences and stacks, forming a ’torrent’, my ’suction’ is easily dispersed or diluted, making it hard to precisely target individuals, which instead consumes more."
While speaking, she kicked out twice like lightning, sending a few light clusters pouncing from the side bursting.
Only then did Jem get a chance to closely observe Anya’s fighting style: hand-to-hand combat.
This seemingly delicate and fragile silver-haired girl was now like a humanoid beast!
Her movements were straightforward, swift, precise, with each punch and kick carrying explosive power.
What was more terrifying was her attacks seemed to directly shake the target’s energy core and life structure.
The light clusters hit were not simply energy disperses but their life aura sharply declined, as if some force internally "shattered" the cohesion of spirit and energy.
Her body’s strength clearly went through some implausible tempering, even direct energy shock from the light cluster only made a faint natural spiritual light shield on her body surface.
Jem quickly realized the reasoning.
A wizard naturally possessing extreme affinity and control over life energy and natural spirit bodies, how could their flesh be fragile?
Abundant life energy itself is the best tempering agent and energy source, their bodies often being the deepest and most unfathomable part of their power system, the ultimate fortress carrying all talents and witchcraft.
"Seems I don’t have to hold back either." Jem grinned, looking at the light cluster army surging like a tide trying to breach the Spirit of Nature defensive line to attack them.
He took a deep breath and traced his hands in the air, spatial energy began to fluctuate intensely.
"Just right, test the practical impact of this move."
He suddenly spread his hands to the sides!
[Space Distortion]small area release!
Buzz!
A region with a radius of a hundred meters in front of Jem seemed to be violently twisted by an invisible giant hand!
Light twisted, scenery distorted, the light cluster creatures within that area let out a piercing spiritual wail.
The core area with a several-meters radius of light clusters was instantly torn apart by the violent power of space as if thrown into an invisible meat grinder.
The light completely extinguished, spirituality annihilated.
The light clusters on the perimeter suffered varying degrees of distortion damage, some had one side of their bodies torn apart, some had their energy circuits severed.
Most lost their combat ability, their dim light falling to the ground, leaving only weak life fluctuations.
With one strike, thousands of light clusters were either dead or injured, the clearing efficiency was astonishing.
"Your spatial knowledge research is impressive," Anya glanced and remarked.
"Still adapting," Jem did not boast, continued locking onto other dense regions of light clusters, repeatedly using [Space Distortion].
He intentionally controlled the range and intensity, not pursuing maximum damage but aiming to render the enemy unable to fight.
At the same time, he continuously adjusted the witchcraft model through actual combat, enhancing resistance to spatial disturbance in this complex energy environment, making [Space Distortion] more stable and controllable.
Anya likewise, her army of Spirits of Nature and own hand-to-hand attacks were largely focused on defeating, wounding, and separating the enemy’s combat ability, truly obliterating only a few.
The cave inside was a tumultuous flash with light and energy surges, the Spirit of Nature’s howls, and the light cluster’s spiritual shrieks interwoven.
But the balance of the battle quickly tipped towards the wizards with the light cluster legion efficiently "disarmed" by Jem and Anya and the comprehensive suppression of the core battlefield by the two Black Giant priests against the Lord of Light Beings.
Although the Lord of Light Beings fiercely resisted, even attempting to detonate its core to perish together, the two Black Giant priests were exceedingly intelligent in their combat.
Just when the Lord of Light Beings’ energy started to compress inward to detonate, the two priests as if premeditatedly suddenly moved close by, four palms covered in black liquid metal simultaneously pressed onto its brightest core area!
[Full-Power Energy Absorption]!
Terrifying suction erupted!
The energy of the Lord of Light Beings, initially about to lose control and rampage, surged uncontrollably towards the two Black Giant priests like a breached flood.
Its self-destruct process was forcibly interrupted, turning into a "feast" charging the enemy.
The light rapidly dimmed, and the size shrunk drastically, finally leaving just a body the size of an average human fist.
Looking at the dim, flickering spirit weak core, a Black Giant priest cautiously held it with a stable force field.
With the Lord of Light Beings losing consciousness and captured, the remaining light clusters’ morale completely collapsed.
Some tried to escape, some stood dumbfounded, some emitted despair-radiating fluctuations.
Jem and Anya accelerated the clearing speed, soon vanquishing or capturing all remaining light clusters with any action ability.
The noisy, tumultuous underground cave gradually returned to tranquility.
Leaving only the buzzing of energy remnants and dimming prisoners like fallen stars filling the ground.
Mission, accomplished.
