The short combat caused considerable damage. The Sacred Flames and plasma spear had melted the solid alloy floor, while the Frostfire Claws left many crisscrossing deep cuts in the wall. The place, as clean as a new pin a while ago, looked like it had suffered a round of saturated bombing. A burnt smell pervaded the chamber, and on high alert, everyone watched their surrounding s.p.a.ce for the slightest distortion of s.p.a.ce.

Lily calmed down again. She arched her body, and her muscles were tense. Her claws seemed frozen in the air just as her body. Her ears flicked slightly, catching any sound that may come from any direction.

Lily concealed her body scent like a predator hunting for its prey. Even Master Hymer was terrified when he gazed at her. For a moment, the archmage even thought that the werewolf maiden had vanished into thin air. He was looking at her, but he had an illusion that Lily was not there anymore.

Only apex predators could pull off this scent-masking skill.

Vivian floated silently in the air. The entire scene of the chamber was reflected in her scarlet eyes. Her vision was completely different from everyone: in the vampire’s vision, everything was in vivid colors, which detailed various environmental readings such as temperature, magnetic field, gravity, and the brightest color represented living things.

Vivian blinked. She could even see the blood rus.h.i.+ng in the network of veins in everyone’s body. The heart was a bright b.l.o.o.d.y glow, pumping in the chest of everyone. For ordinary vampires, such a sight was a prelude to the feast of hunting, an irresistible “food paradise.” But Vivian only used this vision as a mean of reconnaissance, much like a handy radar.

There was a brief silence in the chamber, and nervousness spread. Suddenly, Vivian saw in her peripheral vision a slightly warm spot appeared near the exit, and the gravity and magnetic fields began to distort.

Before she could give out a warning, Lily had made a move. The husky maiden growled in a low voice and then faded into a white shadow as she lunged toward the door.

The Flamejoy pierced through the air with a trail of fire, the extreme temperature and pressure had produced several sharp plasma air blades of a dozen meters in width. And then, sporadic white flames began to appear in the air. As soon as the fire formed into a humanoid, it ran into the plasma air blades. It was as if Lily had foreseen that the Sacred Flame Incarnate would slam into it.

The monster was trying to launch a surprise attack in her stealth mode after the near-field teleportation. But this little trick had given Lily the opportunity to use her predator instinct in her favor.

Had the enemy continuously moved around the chamber with near-field teleportation, Lily would have found it hard to react.

The plasma air blades collided with the Sacred Flame and broke the latter into several smaller flames. The next moment, Vivian rained down her Lightning Storm. The bright lightning struck down like a group of golden snakes, shrouding one-third of the chamber in it. Amid a series of thundering sound, the lightning plowed through the walls and the ground over and over again until the out-of-this-world super alloy turned into molten metal.

But a cl.u.s.ter of silver flames was still dancing on the molten metal, and quickly swelled and formed into the figure of a woman.

This “creature” formed by Sacred Flames roared at Lily and Vivian as if she was in great pain.

“She’s not f*cking dying?” Becky was a little surprised. The mercenary lady could not help but burst out in foul language.

“I have seen more stubborn guys.” Hao Ren said casually. His relaxed tone of voice could ease the nervous atmosphere. But he still kept it serious. The stubborn creature, which he had no idea how to categorize, was beyond his expectation. Vivian’s Lightning Storm move, which was powerful enough to destroy any living things except for the First Born, was supposed to have eliminated the Sacred Flame Incarnate. But the “flame” took the attack and remained unharmed.

Probably not. Hao Ren soon discovered that the Sacred Flame Incarnate was slightly dimmer than before, and the human figure was jittering as if it could not maintain its shape.

“Exhaust her energy!” Hao Ren’s eyes brightened up. He waved his swords and lunged out again while hinted Vivian. “Focus your attack! Ranged magic doesn’t work well on this thing!”

The battle started again. Magical bolts and energy shocks rained down. The knights and apprentice mages had regrouped to join the combat.

In the corner of the chamber, Lily shook her hand. She felt numb on one of her arms; the attack move she made just now seemed to have overstressed her muscles. She swung her wrist while staring at the Sacred Flame Incarnate; the combat scene was reflected in her golden eyes.

Her mind was racing.

The husky maiden had never lacked wisdom in combat. Even if she was deficient in intelligence occasionally, she made that up with intuition and instinct. Just like now, she had thought of the best strategy.

Lily quickly ran up to the nearest knight and patted his shoulder. “Do you have water?”

While the knight was about to lunge at a group of flames that had split from the monster, Lily almost nailed him into the ground with the pat of her hand. The knight looked at Lily with a blank expression. “What?”

“Water!” Lily shouted. “Do you have water?”

The knight was struck dumb.

The guy heard her but had no clue of what she meant.

Lily looked at this dumbstruck fellow before quickly moved on to another, asking for water. Hao Ren was tied up with a ring of Sacred Flame and unable to help.

However, it seemed that no one in the right mind could understand what was in the husky’s mind. The knights and the apprentice mages were all struck dumb as Lily asked them for water. That had never seen anyone like that in battle.

Becky had noticed Lily. The mercenary had no idea what the husky was doing, but she knew how power Lily would become when she ate the spicy sticks. Becky figured that Lily might need water for some purpose. The mercenary girl waved her double swords and warded off a bunch of Sacred Flames. She then thrust one of the swords in the ground, freeing one hand so that she reached to grab the water tumbler hanging on her waist. Becky shouted as she threw the water tumbler to Lily, “Here you go!”

The husky maiden took the water tumbler, pulled the plug, and then gulped down the content. Before Lily did that, she shouted, “Watch out! I’m going to spit!”

While struggling to fight the Sacred Flame Incarnate, Hao Ren heard Lily’s shout and was stunned. He quickly grabbed the senior knight beside him and fell back. “Everyone, be—”

Before Hao Ren finished, he heard Lily coughing her lungs out. “Koff… Koff, koff, khakk…”

Hao Ren looked back at Lily, whose face was flushed as she waved the water tumbler in her hand. The air was filled with the aroma of wine.

It seemed like a bite-back because Lily had used an inferior spellcasting prop.

Lily never thought that she would screw up at a critical moment. Hao Ren’s eyes were out on stalks. Vivian, who was throwing b.a.l.l.s of lightning in the air, began to wonder if she should smash the enemy or the husky.

Due to Lily’s screwup, a weak spot appeared in their encirclement.

The Sacred Flame Incarnate may have just been a blurry figure, but it seemed to have emotion. It was as if Hao Ren saw an illusion, he felt that the figure sneered at them before its flaming body shrank and turned into a fusiform, sacred-flame sword. The sword immediately thrust forward in the direction of Lily. The husky, who was choked by the alcohol, was still coughing uncontrollably.

She was apparently the most prominent weak spot and vulnerability.

“Watch out!” Hao Ren quickly warned while lunging out to help.

Lily looked up, her mind was blank, but the cough had not stopped. This time she even coughed up wine mist. “Cough cough, boom!”

A bright light shrouded the entire area in front of her.

The ground twisted and cracked and the walls melted. The light beam had penetrated the wall on the side of the chamber, through the lab, warehouse, protective barrier, and outer wall—the solid materials created by the magic empire were punctured like a piece of paper, and then followed by the solid body of mountains.

It was the same attack that took down Lockmarton’s defenses. In human form, Lily’s power was significantly less damaging, but in terms of absolute value, it was still unparalleled.

People from as far as outside the mountains could see the light. A kingdom sentinel had witnessed the moment: a beam of light rose from the Gloom Mountains and burst out along an upwardly inclined angle. It left a deep scar in the Lorissian Wall and punctured a hole in the sky.

Lily felt like she even threw up last year’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

It had to be the most violent throw-up: she almost punctured the stratosphere.
