Chapter 626 Scheme
It was Glitter!
Many people might’ve thought that it was a low-level spell when they heard that name.
But they were wrong.
The real low-level spell was Illumination, a level-zero trick.
The light summoned by Glitter was powerful enough to blind someone.
So, it was actually a level-three spell.
Also, in order to deal with vampires, Roland even specifically modified it.
After he cast Glitter, Lilith covered her eyes and face with both hands and retreated while screaming crazily.
At this moment, black smoke was rising from her face like steam.
While Glitter could only summon such powerful light for a brief moment, it was essentially based on the holy light skills.
Roland opened his eyes and chuckled.
So did all his companions.
In the battle meeting earlier, Roland had already told them that if Lilith was to attack him, his first counterattack would most likely be Glitter, and everybody should close their eyes.
That was exactly what they did.
They closed their eyes and opened them again after sensing a flash.
They were all delighted to see that the True Ancestor of vampires were stepping back in panic.
Raffel couldn’t perform the Charge skill anymore, but he was still a good runner as a Warrior. He simply rushed forward behind his shield and slashed his longsword at Lilith’s head.
Lilith was still holding her head and screaming.
As a pretty girl, she sounded rather pleasant even though she was screaming.
In such a situation, Lilith should’ve been beheaded.
However, the gray Magic Shield appeared again, and Raffel’s longsword hit the Magic Shield heavily and broke into two pieces.
He was too strong, and Lilith’s Magic Shield was too hard.
Raffel narrowed his eyes, which weren’t big in the first place. He looked like a vicious villain.
He pushed his shield forward with his right hand into Lilith’s Magic Shield, forcing her to lean back and retreat.
Then he took out a one-handed sword from his system Backpack and slashed at the enemy again.
However, after the slash, Lilith suddenly turned into a bunch of little white bats that flew upward quickly.
The sharp longsword only killed two little bats.
The swarm of bats congregated in midair and seemed to be regathering.
Exactly at this moment, a golden ball of light rose to the sky and emitted warm radiance.
A lot of black smoke rose from the white bats. At least one third of them turned into ashes and fell to the ground.
Then, from a further distance, multiple arrows flew over, each penetrating at least three bats.
However, the surviving white bats still regathered into human form.
Lilith looked even younger at this moment. She seemed to be around fourteen earlier.
However, she couldn’t have looked older than twelve now. Roland had hidden a vampire at home. He knew that the age of a vampire would drop if they were gravely hurt and turned back into human form.
The little girl that the bat colony turned into immediately created a new shield with dark magic power to block the Sunlight.
Roland began to condense the blue fireball in his right hand behind his back. Resuming the human form, Lilith roared at Roland, “You despicable Mage, I’m going to tear you apart, make you into meatloaf, and then eat you!”
Lilith’s wrath was fully understandable.
The vampires were scared of light in the first place, and Roland had essentially cast Glitter right in her face.
She covered her face just now not because she was in pain but because she was ugly!
The strengthened Glitter was so powerful that Roland felt his face was burning as if he had been scorched by the summer sun at noon for hours, even though his Magic Shield was on.
One could only imagine what a vampire, who was susceptible to light, had felt.
Back then, Lilith’s skin was already carbonized. She intuitively knew that her face was no different from a monster’s.
As a woman who loved being beautiful, she would rather not show her ugly face to anyone, not even to her enemies.
That was why she turned into the bats and then resumed human form.
In such a case, all the damages she took would disappear. The vampires’ greatest ability was to distribute damage evenly to their whole body, so that their safety and health could be ensured at the cost of temporary weakness.
Depending on the amount of damage, their strength would decline and their age would drop. Lilith might have hated Schuck the Saint Samurai earlier, but Roland had become her sworn enemy.
Looking at the tiny skeleton that was supported by four Hands of Magic, she laughed miserably. “Good for you. In order to kill me, you collected my bones and then teleported to this place. Church of Light, you are truly persistent.”
Schuck chuckled and said, “There’s nothing I’d like to talk about with such an evil creature. Let’s keep attacking.” Hardly had he finished when Lilith glanced at him with a daunting vibe bursting out of her.
Then, her body grew at an extremely high speed.
Powerful turbulences of magic power surged out of her body and enveloped her like a tornado.
The arrows that Brazil shot out were easily deflected by the tornado.
Li Lin had finally plucked himself out of the stone wall and returned to the battlefield. Seeing Lilith’s new look, he shouted, “It’s the boss’s second phase! Interrupt her, Roland!”
Roland shook his head. “We don’t need to do anything.” “What do you mean?”
While Li Lin was confused, a team of people in black suddenly appeared on the stairs behind Roland.
They were Ryan’s team who had long been prepared.
Ryan came close and, staring at the slowly expanding vampire, smiled. “Mr. Roland, you’ve done a great job forcing her to reveal her true self.”
“What about the soldiers outside?” asked Roland.
“All taken care of. Those who surrendered were knocked out, and those who didn’t were beheaded.” Ryan could hardly withdraw his gaze from the vampire who had turned into a little tornado. He said with utmost ecstasy, “We’ve been waiting for this day for too long.” Roland and the others stepped back.
Lilith had fully transformed at this moment, from a twelve-year-old girl into a sexy beauty about twenty years old. “The resistance?” Lilith gnashed her teeth in fury after seeing their clothes. “You teamed up with outsiders?”
“Isn’t that normal? We have a common enemy. Why can’t we be friends?” While talking, Ryan shook his finger at his subordinate nearby.
Several men in black walked forward and poured out what they had been carrying.
It turned out to be white skulls.
Roland was slightly surprised.
Lilith had fully transformed. Although she was still weakened, she was much stronger than before as her true self.
It was like the difference between 50% of a hundred and 50% of ten thousand. The gap was quite huge.
But Ryan was not anxious. He simply bit his finger and sprayed several drops of blood randomly. Many of the white skulls on the ground were contaminated by his blood.
“Soul summoning magic! You’ve lost your mind!”
Lilith had intended to attack, but upon seeing that, she lost her courage and tried to flash away.
But it didn’t work. She then realized that it was impossible to use spatial magic in this place, which had been locked down by Roland with Dimensional Anchor Scrolls.
She glanced at Roland coldly and flapped her wings, trying to fly.
But at this moment, a golden pillar of light appeared before her and almost brushed past her nose.
The overwhelming power of light made her feel that her mouth was dry.
“Damn it, I miscalculated her speed,” said Schuck rather angrily.
Lilith immediately turned back, hoping to flee in another direction.
However, Brazil’s arrows fell like a storm and blocked her way out.
She was about to cast a spell at Brazil.
As a Hunter, Brazil had great dynamic vision. The moment he saw that Lilith stopped, he rolled aside on the ground.
After a hum, a streak of black light hit where Brazil was standing a moment later, leaving a half-meter-deep pit. Brazil rolled back to his feet and sweated as he looked at the deep pit.
He would’ve been killed on the spot if he were hit by such a thing.
He only bought about one second for his teammates, but it was enough.
Roland’s hand that had been kept behind his back made a full-strength throw.
Then, a blue fireball about fifty centimeters in diameter was launched at Lilith like a cannonball.
After a huge explosion, Lilith was entirely enshrouded by the flowing flames.
Everybody had to step back under the strong hot wind.
They sensed that their hair or eyebrows were burning and sending out weird smells.
The flames were soon gone, and Lilith, protected by her Magic Shield, didn’t seem hurt at all.
Yet… she had been delayed for another three seconds.
The bones on the ground emanated beautiful red halos. Then, transparent figures appeared next to Ryan.
Ryan fell on one of his knees, lowered his head, and said piously, “All the chairmen before me, it’s time to realize our lifelong dream.”
“Well done.”
There were a dozen figures here, but there was only one voice.
But if one were to listen carefully, they could recognize a dozen different voices from the syllables.
“Not only did you summon the souls, but you’re even concentrating them!” Looking at the transparent figures, Lilith said, “You’re crazy! This is the Netherworld!”
“All sacrifices will be worth it as long as we can kill you.” Ryan laughed. “Besides, the Nether God doesn’t care about anything as long as the faithless aren’t involved.”
“You…”
Lilith was about to talk again.
But the dozen transparent figures took action at the same time.
She was instantly tied up by a dozen black tentacles of soul.
Also, those soul tentacles penetrated right through the Magic Shield and tied up Lilith like a cocoon, before they dragged her down from midair.
There was no telling if it was a coincidence or on purpose, but she was simply dragged to the white skeleton.
Lilith struggled to raise her head. She laughed hard at the skeleton back when she was still a human being
