Chapter 484 What Happened In The Past
Villain Ch 484. What Happened In The Past
With the assassin now under Allen's command, he immediately joined the battle, his poison-coated blades ready to strike at the other boss monsters. The deadly ghostly warrior leaped into the fray, unleashing his deadly skills and vicious attacks with uncanny precision. His presence and fighting prowess added a formidable edge to their assault.
Allen, too, reentered the battle, using his abilities to assist his companions. Together, they focused their attacks on the remaining enemy boss monsters. The fight raged on as the group continued their relentless assault on the spectral foes.
The battlefield was a whirlwind of chaos and combat that seemed to stretch on endlessly. The thirty minutes of the intense battle were fraught with unyielding concentration and constant vigilance. Spells and abilities were unleashed in an unending torrent, each one trying to gain the upper hand in this relentless dance of life and death.
The clashing of weapons and blades created a mesmerizing symphony of steel, ringing out as a relentless chorus. Thunderous spells shattered the air with booming echoes, while flames crackled and roared, devouring everything in their path. Arrows whizzed through the tumultuous battlefield, finding their marks or harmlessly embedding themselves in the crumbling ruins.
The healers, their voices filled with a haunting and solemn melody, continued to channel their healing lights, bathing their comrades in radiant energy to mend their wounds and keep them in the fight. It was a never-ending cycle of damage and recovery, of chaos and order, as they fought to reclaim control of the battlefield.
Exhaustion and frustration welled up within Allen and his comrades as they pushed forward, each moment seemingly more grueling than the last.
In the midst of the relentless combat, Allen had to resort to using his Soul Siphon repeatedly, drawing energy from the fallen foes to replenish their vitality. He also employed his Energy Transfer skill on his companions, a move typically unsuitable for use in the heat of battle. However, desperate times called for desperate measures, and they had no other choice but to ensure their comrades remained in fighting condition.
Allen's trusty Barrier proved to be a lifesaver during this exhausting ordeal. It not only protected them from the enemy's onslaught but also provided a crucial advantage by granting them the opportunity to regain their strength and continue the fight.
After the intense battle, Allen managed to bring the second boss monster, the Magic Scholar, under his command. With the third boss monster, the Priestess, now also bound to him through his pact, the tide of the battle began to shift. The Priestess's healing abilities provided much-needed respite to Allen and his comrades, allowing them to recover and endure the relentless onslaught of their remaining foes. With newfound strength and determination, they coordinated their efforts and systematically defeated the remaining boss monsters with relative ease.
With each boss monster that fell, the intensity of the battle began to wane, offering Allen and his comrades some much-needed respite. Yet, the toll of this arduous fight was apparent on their faces and bodies.
The last of the boss monsters, the Knight, finally fell to their combined efforts, Allen wasted no time in using his pact to bind and subjugate the foe. The once-mighty Knight now knelt before Allen, his loyalty forced upon him by the pact. The battle had been long and exhausting, but with all five boss monsters now under his control, Allen and his companions had not only survived but also emerged victorious, marking a significant achievement in their challenging journey through the dungeon.
"You know the coins are kinda good, but the loot is so ew!" Alice chimed in, her tone slightly annoyed. The Priestess used her Healing Light to mend her wounds, and Alice felt the soothing warmth of the spell.
"Well, at least we got more servants," Vivian remarked with an enthusiastic grin, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
Jane joined in, her eyes twinkling. "And the most important thing is..." She turned her gaze to The Priestess Ghost. "Her!" Jane said, her voice filled with enthusiasm, and her grin widened.
"True," Shea admitted, nodding in agreement. "She will be very useful in battle and war, an invaluable addition to our team." The prospects of having a powerful ally were certainly a cause for celebration.
"And restoring our HP will no longer be a problem," Zoe added, acknowledging the benefit of having The Priestess Ghost on their side.
However, Jane's initial excitement seemed to wane as she contemplated their new ally. "Uh... I mean, that means we get a priestess, so this could be a Stockholm syndrome love story where the devil emperor kidnaps a priestess and enslaves her, but in the end, she falls in love with the emperor," she explained with an awkward grin, her eyes reflecting a peculiar mix of fascination and embarrassment.
The others couldn't help but cringe at Jane's vivid imagination and tendency to dive into unconventional narratives.
Jane, undeterred by their reactions, placed her hands on her cheeks, her face flushed. "And then, they do this and that. She begs him, but he doesn't want to stop, and even though he's rough, he's willing to burn the world for her," she said, her head shaking from side to side in enthusiasm. Her penchant for crafting elaborate and slightly questionable stories was known to all.
Larissa let out a long exhale, her curiosity getting the best of her. "Okay, tell us, what story did you just read this time?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as her gaze fell on Jane.
Jane, with a hint of mischief in her eyes, admitted with an innocent grin, "Uh… A demon king and a priestess."
The rest of the group couldn't help but shake their heads at Jane's penchant for weaving strange and creative tales.
Meanwhile, Allen remained focused on putting together the five parts of the Commander's Order items in his inventory.
[Congratulations! You got Commander's Order!]
As he retrieved the Commander's Order from his inventory, he discovered it was a letter. A clue, rather—a hint at what challenges lay ahead for him and his companions.
