Chapter 278: Chapter 117: Moon Priestess! Elune’s Song: Seren Hill

"ROAR~"

Seeing its prey about to escape, the savage aura in the Abyssal Demon Grom’s crimson eyes flared even brighter.

It let out a deafening roar, desperately swinging its massive claws. It smashed apart several Black Corpses that had charged forward fearlessly once more, then backhanded the relentlessly pestering Esther, sending her flying again.

Seizing the opening, it lunged forward, ignoring all other attacks as it rapidly pursued Lynch.

Showers of arrows and flying spears rained down from the sky, and the glow of Magic flashed continuously, causing the dark red Energy Shield around its body to fluctuate violently. Yet, it seemed completely oblivious, its attention fixated solely on Lynch, hell-bent on a fight to the death.

The distance between them closed rapidly.

Eighty meters... fifty meters... thirty meters...

As the distance shrank, Lynch could even smell the thick stench of the Abyssal Demon from behind him.

’Now.’ Lynch, who had been maintaining intense focus, suddenly looked back. A faint light flashed from the Raven Low Speech Staff in his hand as a ghastly white beam shot out, striking Grom directly.

Weakness Curse (LV4 29999/30000)!

This was the current limit of Lynch’s skill, infinitesimally close to Level 5. Its effect naturally far exceeded the level of a Tier Two Necromancer.

Mutated Grom’s forward momentum suddenly stalled, its movements becoming noticeably more sluggish and stiff.

"AWOOOO~~~"

Red Rabbit’s three heads simultaneously spewed forth eerie green Nether Flame, washing over Grom’s body repeatedly.

Because Red Rabbit was a being close to a Tier Five bronze-armored corpse, the power of its Nether Flame was considerable. Under the continuous burning, even Grom’s soul was ignited.

However, the sluggishness of its body and the intense agony from its soul, far from making Grom fearful, only served to further incite its madness.

"For... Yenogu!!!"

It let out a savage, fanatical roar, then forcibly accelerated once more, pushing through the Weakness Curse and the searing Nether Flame. It raised its massive claw high and swiped viciously down at Lynch.

In its mind, filled with brutality, all it would take was a single graze from its claw to obliterate the fragile human Necromancer, turning him into a puddle of gore.

However.

Just as its claw was about to touch Lynch.

Suddenly.

The space around Lynch abruptly rippled like water, enveloping both him and Red Rabbit beneath him!

Short-Range Phase Teleport.

The life-saving divine skill attached to the Raven Low Speech Staff activated at the critical moment.

Grom’s sure-hit strike slammed viciously into empty air!

And Lynch, along with his mount, had vanished into thin air.

"Huh?" A trace of astonishment flashed through Grom’s crimson eyes.

In the instant it was stunned.

At Lynch’s original position, a pendant inlaid with a crimson crystal suddenly erupted with brilliant light.

The pale sealing patterns on the crystal’s surface flared, and a terrifying energy filled with destruction and the stench of sulfur exploded outward.

Scorching and violent, it was as terrifying as a volcanic eruption.

"BOOM~!!!!!"

A terrifying ball of Hellfire erupted, instantly engulfing Grom completely.

This Hellfire was formed from a portion of the Demon Refining Lord Ragnarash’s Origin Power. Its might was equivalent to a Tier Seven spell, but the energy was purer and even harder to resist!

"ROOOOAAAARRRR~~~!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream instantly echoed across the field.

Under the searing heat of this High Tier fire from the origin of Hell, the thick keratinous layer on Grom’s body and its pair of enormous, black-red bat wings were ignited in less than half a second.

In extreme agony, it plummeted from the sky to the ground, frantically beating its wings, rolling, and thrashing about in an attempt to extinguish the scorching flames.

At that moment, Lynch, riding Red Rabbit, had already reappeared seventy to eighty meters away, amidst a group of Skeleton Guards.

In his haste, he looked a bit disheveled and had even crushed several unlucky Skeletons that couldn’t dodge in time.

His face was also a little pale, and cold sweat was even beading on his temples.

It couldn’t be helped. If the timing of the teleport and the Hellfire detonation had been off by even a fraction, he and Red Rabbit would have been turned to charcoal by now. It was only natural to be nervous.

Fortunately, he had succeeded. He raised his Magic Staff once again as his Spiritual Power surged wildly!

A bone spear rapidly coalesced before him.

Bone Spear Skill (LV4)!

"Go!"

With a low shout from Lynch, the pale bone spear shot out like an arrow loosed from a bow, striking Grom directly as it struggled within the Hellfire.

By now, its keratinous layer of defense had been mostly burned through by the Hellfire. The bone spear instantly pierced the weakened layer and sank viciously into the right side of its chest, embedding itself more than half a foot deep.

A chilling death energy quickly spread from the bone spear, beginning to corrode its insides through the wound.

"Kick it while it’s down!" Lynch roared, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "All units, charge! Cover it with ranged fire! Don’t stop!"

As his voice fell, the experts from all sides, who had been stunned by the sudden reversal of the situation, snapped out of their daze as if waking from a dream, their fighting spirit erupting with astonishing intensity!

The Holy Light around the two Tier Four Holy Knight Inquisitors surged as they roared, raised their Holy Light Warhammers, and charged fearlessly at Grom from the left and right.

The Holy Priest was quick to act. The two buffs, Blessing of Strength and Prayer of Tenacity, as well as a continuous Holy Light Healing, enveloped the two knights almost simultaneously, briefly elevating their power.
