Chapter 382 -382-Kate, Driven into Desperation
Countless streams of energy poured over the battlefield like a cascading waterfall.
The next moment, the hellish army that had originally died at Karsus’s hands actually rose from the ground once again!
Some had lost their arms. Some had even lost their heads and half of their bodies.
Yet even so, they still answered Kate’s summons and crawled back up from the ground!
The violent surge of energy washed over them, causing their bodies to seem as if they had transformed into Hellfire. Then, these flames rapidly gathered together at a visible speed.
A powerful aura began to spread across the battlefield.
Its intensity was so great that even Yorick and Karsus could not ignore it.
"Roar!!"
With a furious roar that echoed throughout the entire Abyss, Vengeflame’s massive figure appeared before everyone.
Vengeflame’s entire body was formed from green Hellfire.
The flames did not burn all that violently. Instead, they carried an indescribable, viscous quality.
On Vengeflame’s head, an expression of pain was constantly displayed, as though he was suffering the scorching torment of Hellfire every single moment.
"Kill them!"
Kate waved her hand and pointed toward Yorick and Karsus.
The next moment, Vengeflame immediately moved.
"Flames of Hell’s Wrath!"
Rumble!!
At some point, countless cracks had appeared across the pitch-black ground.
In the blink of an eye, thick streams of green lava erupted from beneath Yorick and Karsus’s feet!
"Vengeflame Torrent!"
Countless streams of lava, controlled by Vengeflame, surged like flowing water and instantly covered the entire area where Yorick and Karsus could move.
But in the next moment, Yorick raised the shovel in his hand high and stabbed it fiercely into the ground.
The cold power of rules once again began to spread in all directions. Wherever it passed, even the scorching Hellfire instantly lost its heat and reverted to stone.
When Kate saw this from afar, a wave of despair immediately rose in her heart.
She had already used her strongest trump card, yet in the face of the power of rules, she was still utterly helpless.
And in the very instant she lost focus, Karsus, on the other side, had already used the Requiem of Death to draw a gigantic magic circle, trapping Kate completely within it.
Dancing musical notes formed the smallest units of the array.
The next moment, the song of death began to linger ceaselessly beside Kate’s ears.
Kate’s eyes were gradually filled with confusion and despair. She slowly lifted the long whip in her hand, then wrapped it around her own neck, coil after coil.
When Yorick saw this from afar, he did not lower his guard. Instead, he picked up his shovel and dug a trench around the outer edge of the musical-note array.
These trenches had been reinforced by the power of rules and could not be crossed easily.
Compared to Yorick’s caution, Karsus looked utterly disdainful.
"Yorick, why are you so nervous? Within my Requiem of Death array, no one can come out alive!"
"Enjoy it properly. Look at the expression on her face as she strangles herself to death. Isn’t it intoxicating?"
"Or should I lend her a hand?"
As he spoke, the Requiem of Death that Karsus was playing suddenly changed its melody.
The next moment, countless musical notes gathered together and transformed into two demonic claws, which fiercely clamped around Kate’s throat.
A hoarse "hkk, hkk" sound came from Kate’s mouth. She was clearly in extreme pain, yet an expression of enjoyment appeared on her face.
It was as if she was savoring a beautiful piece of music...
The long whip tightened more and more around her neck. Kate’s face flushed red from suffocation, and she could barely breathe.
However, just as the critical point was about to arrive, Kate’s body suddenly melted on the spot like a puddle of water.
The long whip in her hand fell to the ground along with it.
The next moment, Kate’s figure vanished directly from where she stood!
This scene caused both Yorick and Karsus to reveal expressions of utter disbelief.
What was going on?
Why could that young girl turn into a puddle of water?
At this moment, Yorick suddenly seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead heavily.
"I remember now. I once saw a similar skill on a human awakener."
"He could cellularize his own body and then reconstruct it..."
Elsewhere, Kate had finally escaped the threat of death for the time being. However, she did not relax, because with every escape, the trump cards in her hand had already become pitifully few.
Meanwhile, Yorick and Karsus quickly locked onto Kate’s position once again.
"I admit, you really are difficult to kill. But... do you think that means we have no way to deal with you?"
As Yorick spoke, he suddenly swung the shovel in his hand with tremendous force.
"Grave-Digging Burial! Rule of Death, descend!"
In the blink of an eye, with Yorick at the center, a deathly aura rapidly spread outward.
This was not simple energy.
It was the true Rule of Death.
Every demon invaded by this aura began to age at a visible speed, rapidly withering until they died.
This time, Yorick had truly brought out his most powerful hidden card.
Because Kate had given him a shock unlike anything he had ever experienced before.
If she was allowed to keep growing, Yorick knew that even if the Lord of Abyss spared him, he would still be unable to escape death.
So this time, he had to kill Kate in the cradle before she truly matured.
Naturally, Kate had no intention of waiting helplessly for death.
She immediately used [Flashstep], fleeing the battlefield at high speed.
But the moment her [Flashstep] was activated, it was interrupted by Karsus’s song.
That requiem of death made it completely impossible for her to focus her mind and release her skill!
At the same time, Kate could clearly feel the effect that the deathly aura was having on her.
No. I can’t stay here any longer.
Just as Kate thought this, Yorick, on the other side, gripped his shovel and charged toward her!
Kate once again mobilized the little energy remaining inside her body, lifted her long whip, and released [Infinite Lightblade].
However, this time, before the miniature sun could even rise, it was smashed apart by the shovel.
A look of despair immediately appeared on Kate’s face.
She knew very well that this time, she was probably doomed.
Just as Yorick believed that victory was already in his grasp—
The next moment, countless sword beams in the sky instantly surrounded him from every direction!
The razor-sharp sword beams, carrying a tearing effect, transformed into thousands upon thousands of rays of light, continuously washing over Yorick’s body.
Yorick frowned.
He could feel his HP decreasing by percentage!
Before he could react, the blazing miniature sun erupted once again!
