Chapter 45 - Stealing the Kill

Sixteen Fire Elemental simultaneously spewed out scorching flames! The blazing fire shot up, temporarily blocking the Faceless Ones minions and Shadow Creatures tentacles surging from the side, burning them with a sizzling sound and a smell of char.

Four Holy Light Elemental, they transformed into four brilliant golden streams of light, rushing towards the Faceless General! The Holy Light on them erupted like substantial flames, and those Shadow Creatures tentacles instantly burned and disintegrated upon touching the golden light!

The Faceless Ones' body was pierced by their golden light spears, letting out a mournful shriek, and its body rapidly carbonized and disintegrated in the Holy Light!

Holy Light is always the bane of Shadow Creatures.

Meanwhile, Uther wielded his warhammer, his entire body burning with Holy Light, like a golden-armored War God, his silver hand warhammer emitting a pure white radiance.

"Insignificant insects, how dare you disturb my slumber, how dare you attack me." The Faceless Ones' words were not human language or Common Tongue, but a mental fluctuation. Those present could not understand his words, but they could grasp his meaning. This was the terror of the old gods.

"You disgusting monster, today is your day of death. Accept the judgment of the Holy Light!" Uther roared.

"Dogs of the Holy Light, I will kill you all and devour your souls." Zakaz roared, swinging his thickest tentacle to attack Uther.

But several Fire Elemental immediately surrounded him, blocking the Faceless Ones' attack, while the Holy Light Elemental also launched a Holy Light strike.

Uther seized the opportunity to raise his warhammer high and smash it heavily onto the opponent's body. The powerful Holy Light caused the huge Faceless Ones to fall into a brief state of stiffness.

"Take this, monster, Magic Divine Arrow!" Rhodes, seeing the moment of stiffness after the tentacle attack, unhesitatingly launched his strongest single-target attack!

Strike while the iron is hot. A blue lightning bolt tore through the darkness, carrying destructive energy, accurately striking the connection point of the carapace at the base of a tentacle!

Boom—!!!

Blinding blue light accompanied a deafening explosion! Under the terrifying power of the Magic Divine Arrow, the carapace and flesh at the connection point of that thick tentacle were instantly shattered!

Purple-black viscous blood and minced meat splattered like a fountain! The tentacle let out an earth-shattering soul shriek (though silent, everyone felt the intense pain on a soul level).

Rhodes dared not be careless in the slightest, immediately casting Divine Shield and Arcane Shield on himself. A layer of golden light and a layer of blue magic shield instantly enveloped him.

The surrounding Silver Hand paladins and Tyr's Guards also successively cast Divine Shield, protecting themselves and the mortal soldiers.

Jaina stood above the deep pit, continuously releasing Frost Spells: Blizzard, Cone of Cold, Frostbolt, Ice Lance, Arcane Missiles, attacking the Faceless Ones below.

However, compared to Holy Light, Arcane Magic had extremely limited lethality against Shadow Creatures, which made Jaina a little frustrated. Perhaps she should save some mana and summon a few more powerful Fire Elemental later.

The Elemental Creatures below had taken a lot of pressure off Uther and caused a lot of trouble for the Faceless Ones. Although a few Fire Elemental had already been eliminated, the death of these cannon fodder creatures didn't matter.

Seeing this, Rhodes also handed the magic scroll to Jaina, signaling Jaina to summon Fire Elemental again at a critical moment.

"Everyone, don't panic. All who can use Holy Light, together cast Holy Light Flash to attack this creature." Rhodes stood in the front row, and a Holy Light spell shone on Zakaz.

Dear! Come and receive the healing of Holy Light!

This healing spell would make ordinary people feel comfortable, but when it shone on Shadow Creatures, the sensation was simply too 'refreshing'.

The other paladins also followed suit, immediately casting Holy Light Spells and throwing them at the Faceless Ones below. Some paladins even cast Hammer of Justice.

Rhodes unhurriedly cast Shield of Protection and Stone Skin on Uther again.

Uther below, after receiving support, fought with increasing ferocity, swinging the warhammer in his hand and forcing the Faceless Ones to retreat steadily.

Damn it! These filthy, tiny creatures actually attacked him while he was weak, and they even used the most restraining Holy Light.

And the negative magic cast by that fellow above actually affected him. What a joke? He was the expert in negative magic!

After another fierce battle, the Elemental Creatures below were basically wiped out by the Faceless Ones, even the four Holy Light Elemental were eliminated.

Even though he had just resurrected and was in a weakened state, and was also afflicted by two weakening spells, the Faceless General still displayed terrifying power.

However, at this point, the Faceless General himself was not in a good state. More than half of his body had been scorched by Holy Light, and the Shadow Power on him was incredibly dim. He was now extremely weak.

In contrast, Uther was basically unharmed; all the damage had been absorbed by the Elemental Creatures.

Rhodes, seeing this from above the pit, nodded to Jaina. Jaina immediately understood and once again used her remaining mana to summon ten Fire Elemental.

Zakaz, who had just eliminated the elemental minions, fell into a moment of silence, then looked up at the pit's edge with anger.

Damn it, have the Elemental Plane of Fire also betrayed the great old gods? Ragnaros actually dared to send Fire Elemental to deal with him, creating a wonderful misunderstanding.

After Jaina finished summoning, Rhodes also took the magic scroll and, using his last bit of mana, summoned Holy Light, mimicking Uther by summoning three Holy Light Elemental with beautiful female appearances.

Unlike Fire Elemental, Rhodes could only summon three Holy Light Elemental at a time.

"Lord Rhodes, perhaps we can also try summoning Holy Light Elemental." A Silver Hand paladin said.

Rhodes' eyes lit up. Oh right! These paladins could also try. He nodded and immediately handed over the magic scroll.

But unfortunately, among all the paladins present, including the Tyr's Guards, only two successfully summoned Holy Light Elemental, and each only summoned one.

The others had no reaction after taking it. Clearly, their mana value was completely insufficient for 25 points, or rather, their Holy Light was insufficient.

However, it was already enough. With this new batch of Elemental Creatures joining, especially the five Holy Light Elemental, the tide of battle had been completely turned.

Faceless One Zakaz let out a desperate roar. After eliminating a few more Elemental Creatures, the Faceless Ones finally fell.

Zakaz looked unwilling. Uther came before him, raising the warhammer in his hand, intending to deliver the final blow.

"Wait! Lord Uther, the Guardian wants me to finish him personally." Rhodes said from above the pit.

Don't steal my kill, old man, let me do it!
