Chapter 1652: Chapter 197 Fire Sprite Sneak Attack_3
Di Ya’s whole body trembled violently, and Olivia’s deep affection made her eyes moist. The Fire Whip was less than two meters away from Olivia’s back, and the scorching energy had already dispersed all of Olivia’s wind element energy. Just as he was about to die under this fierce whip, a golden light suddenly flashed, and the Fire Whip in the air was shattered into pieces. A shrill scream sounded, and the Fire Sprite was pierced abruptly by the golden greatsword filled with immense energy, following the fate of its companion amidst a loud bang. The owner of this golden greatsword was Ah Dai. He finally returned in time, saving the lives of Olivia and Di Ya. With the Sumeru Sword back in his hand, Ah Dai landed beside Olivia and Di Ya, anxiously asking, "How are you two?"
Two lines of tears flowed from Di Ya’s eyes, and she wrapped her arms around Olivia’s body, chokingly saying, "We, we’re fine."
Olivia had originally resigned himself to death, but after a while, he did not feel any pain come, and hearing Ah Dai’s voice, he couldn’t help but lift his head. Di Ya’s tear-streaked but beautiful face appeared before him, and at this moment, he seemed to forget everything and softly said, "Di Ya, why are you crying?"
Di Ya suddenly hugged Olivia’s neck tightly, murmuring, "Thank you, Vila. I, I love you too."
Although Ah Dai didn’t know what was going on, he was still happy for the two of them. After urging the surrounding warriors to protect them well, he sprang into the air, flying towards a nearby Fire Sprite. Perhaps the Sumeru Sword naturally had the effect of restraining Fire Sprites. Although Ah Dai attacked with all his might with each strike, under his unique skills of using qi to control the sword, six Fire Sprites died at his hands in succession. At this time, the Pope and others also rushed back. Prophet Pu Lin was the first to lead the Tilu fighters to charge towards the Fire Sprites, while more than ninety remaining Fire Sprites engaged in a chaotic battle with the Tilu fighters. A large number of support magic spells were scattered on all the warriors of the Allied Forces, making them no longer as vulnerable as before. Under the command of the Pope and four Red Robe Priests, the chaotic situation was somewhat brought under control. Xi Wen and Feng Wen led people from the Tian Gang Sword Sect to assist the Tilu fighters in temporarily resisting the Fire Sprites’ attacks. The strength of the Tilu fighters amazed everyone; even if they were hit by the Fire Sprites’ Fire Whips, they seemed unaffected and heavily axed their opponent. Once a Tilu fighter died, their body would turn into a cloud of black smoke, entangling the Fire Sprite and rendering its body temporarily immobile, allowing human masters to slaughter them at will. The previous advantage of the Fire Sprites was gradually lost, as they kept dying under the siege of masters from the Allied Forces. Although the Undead Fire Demons were cunning, they made a mistake, which was entering the barriers set up by the priests of the Church. Here, without the support of Evil Aura, they couldn’t revive after death, even if they weren’t shattered into pieces like by Ah Dai, and could be killed. The Tilu fighters also suffered great losses, their bodies absorbing the force of the Fire Sprites’ Fire Whips. When there were only about thirty Fire Sprites left, they too dwindled to around sixty fighters, with an average of two Tilu fighter deaths helping everyone eliminate one Fire Sprite. Prophet Pu Lin continuously chanted spells that the crowd couldn’t understand from the perimeter, with black light emitting from his body and shooting into the Tilu fighters’ bodies. Those struck by the black light would experience a tremendous boost in spirit.
The light of the Sumeru Sword in Ah Dai’s hand had dimmed considerably, with at least a third of these over a hundred Undead Fire Demons having died at his hands. Overexertion of True Qi made it hard for him to hold on. After retrieving some Allied Forces experts that originally went to attack the Fire Demon’s Territory again, Little Bone and Sheng Xie also joined the battle. Their fierce attacks gave Ah Dai a chance to catch his breath, landing lightly on the ground and breathing in the scorched-smelling air rapidly. The Golden Body within him was operating swiftly, continuously restoring his strength.
Finally, after the last bitter struggle, all the Fire Sprites were completely eradicated. Under the Pope’s command, their dead bodies were entirely purified by Light Magic, so evil aura or not, they wouldn’t be able to resurrect. At this moment, only a little over a dozen Tilu fighters from the Pu Yan tribe remained. The losses were incredibly heavy.
With a "wow," Pu Lin spat out a mouthful of blood, his body going limp as he collapsed onto the ground, looking as though he aged ten years in an instant, with a sorrowful expression in his vacant eyes. Seeing Prophet Pu Lin’s condition, Ah Dai was shocked and hurriedly flew to his side, transferring his pure, life-giving True Qi into Pu Lin’s body. As the True Qi circulated, he could clearly feel that Pu Lin’s life force had diminished greatly, appearing extraordinarily weak. Anxiously, he asked, "Prophet, what’s happened to you?"
Pu Lin said sorrowfully, "It’s nothing, temporarily boosting the strength of the Tilu fighters requires a price, that’s the harm of witchcraft. The Pu Yan tribe has almost completely lost its Tilu fighters after this battle, we’ve done our best." The leaders of various clans gathered around, and the Pope looked solemn, though they had successfully destroyed the Fire Sprites, the Allied Forces had also paid a heavy price.
"Xuan Ye, Mang Siu, go count the casualties. Prophet, thank you. If not for the courage and strength of the noble Tilu fighters, our losses might have doubled. Rest assured, I will fulfill my promise."
