Chapter 577 - 311: Sacrificial Prayer
The inherently high resistance of the ’Multi-colored Giant Dragon Bloodline,’ when combined with the Multi-Colored Dragon Scale Defense, caused Raine’s forehead veins to pop and his muscles to swell, as he was forcibly pushed back more than ten meters by the massive shock wave after the explosion!
As the dust slightly dissipated, Raine’s body, emitting black smoke, appeared before everyone.
Although the top-tier Fire Resistance set ’Flame Guardian’ that he had just donned and the ’Dragon Scale Defense’ he cast were completely obliterated by the shock wave, Raine still managed to withstand the ’Incendiary Explosion’!
Leonore, Meredith, and other allies naturally were overjoyed.
However, for the enemy led by ’Plague Bearer’ White Mann and Red Dragon Mage Faermer, this was absolutely not a good thing!
Incendiary Explosion, this was the Balrog Flame Demon’s self-destruction before its demise, and also Faermer’s biggest trump card and ace in the hole.
In his past battles, he rarely used this move, but once unleashed, it often decided the direction of the battle, even directly sealing the victory!
But this time, it failed.
Faermer’s gaze towards Raine was extremely complex at this moment.
However, upon seeing Raine still holding his hammers crossed in front of his chest, appearing quite wounded, he and the nearby Plague Bearer White Mann shared a tacit understanding glance, and then, synchronously raised their staffs toward Raine.
A young talent this powerful and promising can absolutely not be allowed to exist!
Identical thoughts surfaced simultaneously in both minds.
"Cluster Burst Fireball!"
"Flame Storm!"
"Solar Ray!"
In just a fleeting moment!
Not surprisingly, Faermer, as a top-tier powerhouse, consecutively deployed two sixth-level or higher flame spells.
While Plague Bearer White Mann, after using magic items to fend off Leonore’s water vortex, also coordinated to cast a Solar Ray to attack Raine on the field.
"Water Element Shield!"
The fastest to react among the allies was Leonore, who only managed to cast a Water Element Shield for Raine.
As soon as the azure blue defense shield formed by the water rose on Raine, it was hit by the Burst Fireball; the fierce explosion directly shattered the Water Element Shield, creating a vast cloud of white steam!
Following immediately, the Flame Storm and Solar Ray also shot into the white steam.
With two thunderous booms, the piercing shock wave and red-glowing heat wave swept the area.
"Raine!"
Just as Faermer and White Mann relaxed slightly, secretly thinking this time he must have been severely injured!
Suddenly!
What?
Faermer’s pupils suddenly contracted!
He saw a blurry figure darting out from the explosion’s center, creating white sound barriers around due to high-speed movement, with a near vacuum-like passage trailing behind, directly rushing towards him.
Not dead???
Due to the explosion’s concealment, even with Faermer’s abilities, when he clearly saw Raine, they were less than ten meters apart.
Seeing Raine’s tattered clothes but unscathed skin, Faermer felt fear and confusion while being momentarily at a loss.
Because at this moment, he had no idea which type of spell would be effective against Raine!
White Mann’s previous claim that the opponent’s weakness was flame resistance proved completely unreliable!
Ten meters distance.
Probably only zero point one second before Raine’s hammer hits him.
Recollecting the scene where the hammer struck the Balrog Flame Demon, Faermer’s face showed a rare hint of retreat.
So, just when Raine’s Warhammer was about to strike, Faermer suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, his entire body appeared behind Raine’s left side, evading Raine’s sudden attack!
This was precisely the instant teleportation spell that every high-tier mage learns and masters.
But just as Faermer’s figure appeared, a curved sword abruptly slashed towards him, grazing his unguarded cheek, leaving a streak of fresh blood in mid-air!
Immediately afterward, the owner of the curved sword launched consecutive thrust attacks.
A graceful figure moved quickly, the sword blade shimmered like a flowing light, seemingly dancing in the night.
Meredith, upon Raine initiating a counter-attack, immediately followed up and rapidly concealed herself to ambush.
And when she saw Faermer’s teleportation location unexpectedly close to her, she instantaneously decided to attack.
Because even a quasi-legendary caster cannot continuously perform subspace traversal.
In fact, even a legendary mage would have at least several seconds of interval after casting an instant teleportation-type spell.
"Damn!"
Facing the silver arcs of light and feeling the slight sting on his cheek, Faermer was overwhelmed more by humiliation—being wounded by an opponent much weaker than him, even slightly, but to him, it was intolerable.
Just as he intended to show this female Drow a lesson, inwardly alarms sounded, and it felt like a giant dragon was eyeing him from behind.
And from Meredith’s perspective.
She could see with a thunderous stride, Raine leapt, making it seem as though he grew wings, crossing more than twenty meters instantly and arriving behind Faermer.
Accompanying this was the immense, thunderous sound of breaking the sound barrier!
And where Raine originally stepped, the solid stone slabs seemed as soft as clay, forming a meter-deep bowl-shaped crater.
