.The demon student in the corner of the classroom stood up, staring at Professor Mokgut's painting in his hand. He just wouldn't budge.He was skilled at identifying magic, but he wasn't very confident...Chapter 137: Ranchi's Mysterious Combat Prowess

The lofty ceilings, pillars, stained glass, and murals within the church trembled incessantly.

Accompanied by earth-shattering booms, even with the executioner and paladin working together desperately to impede her, they could only slow the Destroyer's advance.

On the flanks of the battlefield, male guards from the Chamber of Commerce lurked in the shifting light and shadow, their eyes calm yet sharp as they surveyed the scene.

From the Destroyer Saintess's fighting style, it can already be seen that she can maintain a high level of self-healing even without a priest, always keeping her physical condition at a balanced state.

The Destroyer Saintess not only possesses absolute power and magic that surpasses everyone else, but she also chooses to exchange injuries for injuries when necessary, becoming even stronger as a result, making it even more difficult for the executioners and holy knights to contend with her.

At a glance, she has at least three pieces of equipment with the quality "Pink Sacred."

And because many key utility cards are level six, such as [Forced Dispersion] which can remove all status ailments from oneself and [Designated Purification] which grants immunity to the same type of abnormal status for a period of time, their control cannot significantly limit the Destroyer Saintess. They can only rely on numbers and cooldown differences to briefly hinder her.

Charging head-on would be impossible, but right now his sister and the young master of the merchant guild, along with the priest, lawyer, and his companions were lined up behind him. He couldn't allow the Destructive Saintess to advance any further.

The male guard's short dagger gleamed with a cold light, his figure blending into the silent air with barely perceptible steps, ready to deliver a fatal blow.

At the same time, a towering pillar of fire shot up from the ground. It was a trap triggered by the guards of the Merchant Guild, laid by Saint Hall on the surface. The Holy Maiden gracefully leaped over it, and a figure clad in black armor descended from mid-air to the other side.

Where did you go

The Ruinous Saintess seemed to be speaking to herself as she raised her sword and swung it backward without looking.

As she drew her sword, the air around her suddenly boiled. A wave of intense energy spread out at an unimaginable speed. In that instant, it seemed as if anything could be set ablaze.

At the same time, male guards also appeared, daggers fiercely stabbing into the back of the Destroyer Saintess.

However, the combat awareness of the Destroyer Saint was already anticipated.

The blazing longsword and the frigid shortsword clashed in the air, producing a deafening clang of metal. The air instantly filled with the acrid tang of a blacksmith's forge!

……

The Ictere Academy, Gerald Memorial Square.

The flickering images and thunderous roars of the battle engulfing the students on the stairs, placing them amidst a battlefield like a meat grinder.

Such a scene usually only appears at the end of the shadow world.

When all the challengers have solved the puzzles and reached the final enemy, the ultimate team battle begins.

But at this moment, the Destruction Saintess, with her own power alone, had already surpassed the oppressive feeling of a normal fifth-tier shadow world final boss.

Even though it looks like she's barely holding on, on the surface, she's clearly still in control.

"This apocalyptic Saintess...finding her out was even worse than I imagined."

"If she dragged us to nightfall, activating the blood race abilities would probably lead to our annihilation. This time point is crucial."

If it's daytime, there's still enough time to fight the Holy Destroyer.

But now, the countdown seems to be on the heads of all challengers.

There's less than an hour left until sunset, and the vampire count, who dwells in some unknown location, will awaken. Then, the Destroyer of Saints will be able to activate unknown vampire powers!

No matter what type of bloodline ability, it's as powerful as a very strong orange epic spell card.

Under these circumstances, it will directly tip the scales of victory.

The true identity of the Saintess who was destroyed by the Revival Church has been confirmed as Adelice, a silver-ranked challenger from the Kryss Empire. Her danger level is SS. All residents of the Southern Continent, please be aware of her characteristics.

A notice from the Southern Continent Shadow World Management Association appeared quickly on the screen, along with the effect of the key magic card used by the Destroyer Saintess.

Blood Oath Pendant

Category: Equipment Card

Grade: Pink Sacred

Class: 1

Effect: Continuously consumes health upon equipping, granting full attribute enhancement and bestowing a slight life drain ability.

Note: In the silent darkness, the crimson contract shall never be broken.

Corresponding to the magical card's attributes, the close-up shown in the picture is a pendant embedded as if in the chest of the fallen holy maiden. Its shape is irregular and twisted, spreading with blood vessels like hardened blood, shimmering with a mesmerizing dark red hue under the light.

Evidently, it was this piece of equipment that caused her to gradually gain the upper hand in her fight against the executioner and paladin.

She only gets stronger the more she fights.

The Destroyed Saintess, who previously roamed the mortal world but whose true identity remained a mystery, has finally revealed her true form. And now, the core equipment attributes that were identified and recorded during her rampage in the mortal realm are beginning to display one by one.

The camera quickly cuts to the Dark Knight armor encasing the Ruin Saint.

Reversal Armor of Life and Death

Category: Equipment Card

Grade: Pink Sacred

Class: 6

Effect: The lower the life state, the higher the recovery effect obtained. Immune to fatal damage when struck, with a cooldown of 30 days. Cannot be stacked with other effects that grant immunity to fatal blows.

Note: The shadow of death dances, while the carapace of life emerges from its cocoon.

The screen synchronized to show the Destructive Saintess wielding her bloodstained long sword, and then split into multiple panels—

【Blazing Messenger】

Category: Equipment Card

Grade: Orange Epic

Class: 4

Effect: On attack, gain life steal effect. Deal burn damage and reduce healing received. Damage dealt by this weapon does not trigger enemy spell card effects.

Note: The death of burning heavens is unavoidable.

The remaining destruction saintess Adelice used in the battle, both the purple rare quality and blue precious quality, were general-use cards known to the Ectheles students. Most of them can be used to resist spells and dispel control, almost every six-ranked will carry it.

"The Destruction Saintess was invincible, it was written all over her face. Even if a sixth-rank blood clan came to fight her for a whole night, she might not even be defeated."

If we keep fighting like this, the cleric's magic will run out and we'll be finished anyway.

"Come on... priests!"

The students watching from the stairs couldn't help but break out in a sweat, and even their throats felt dry from all the constant chatter.

The captured traitor proved too terrifying, and the setting sun, like a countdown, offered only meager shelter to the valiant challengers.

"Isn't there still a breast"

They suddenly remembered.

Lan Qi's profession was actually a white mage.

Because he's too new, everyone has almost forgotten that his combat role is a healer.

Now, in the back row, Huberlian has further secured the unconscious goddess to her post, while Ranchi cast some mysterious spell on the defeated female mage whose motives remain unclear, silencing even her cries. Subsequently, Huberlian began to knock out the noble female mage as well.

With these two captives, bearing variables, processed, they were handed over to the young master of the Guild for safekeeping. Lanch and Huberlian should now be able to join the fight with peace of mind.

Even if two tanks could balance the battlefield, it's too much for the challengers to hold now!

Logically, this challenger team's battle configuration is quite balanced, with two tanks, two healers, and three damage dealers.

The challenge now is that as darkness approaches, the challengers are the ones who need to act quickly and decisively!

If this balance cannot be broken, at this moment, it is a dead end!

"Hey, have any of you ever seen Ranch fight"

Someone asked a question that left everyone speechless.

All the students around were wide-eyed and shook their heads.

"Yeah, why would this guy be a white mage"

"You said he's a demonic shaman, a bizarre sorcerer, and I think that makes sense too."

Students near the stairs suddenly realized that this team battle wasn't as simple as it seemed!

There's something terrifying about Lance—it's the fact that no one has ever seen him unleash his full power.

The most questionable point about Lance's abilities has always been his third round entrance exam, the practical combat test.

The most widely circulated account of that match, sealed by the Headmaster of the Sage's Academy himself, is that Ranch and Huberlian happened to encounter Examiner Ferrat suffering a heart and blood vessel disease, allowing them to win by sheer luck.

Now that I think about it, it's even more off.

I'm afraid that Judge Ferrat had a sudden stroke, it's a masterpiece by both Lance and the Great Poet!

Could it be that Lance not only stirs up hatred outside of combat...but also has ways to provoke enemies into exploding with blood pressure even in the heat of battle

Suddenly.

Everyone nervously looked at the painting — Lanche, with a smile on his face, had already taken out several healing magic cards.

(End of the chapter)
