Chapter 952: Professor Shylph’s Test and Response (4k)
The spear left behind a vacuum in its wake.
Two of the [Elemental Wind Spears] were aimed at the elephant’s eyes, while the middle one was directed straight at its forehead.
In an instant, the [Elemental Wind Spears] hit their target. However, the elephant’s ears suddenly slapped against a giant drum, and two drumbeats echoed as an invisible force field burst forth, scattering all three [Elemental Wind Spears]!
Immediately afterward, the elephant raised its trunk, resembling a boiling kettle, releasing clouds of gas from within.
This gas spread rapidly through the space, enveloping the elephant once more in a mist.
After this test, Professor Shylph had a general understanding of the strength of this elephant.
Her lips moved, and her voice reached the ears of everyone present. At that moment, the elephant’s trunk, now transformed into a massive python, lunged towards Professors Kazel and Dark. But in the blink of an eye, it was decapitated by the [Black Steel Puppet], from the snake head down to the neck, nearly splitting it in half.
However, as it straightened its upper body, the severed snake head reconnected seamlessly, showing no signs of injury.
Professor Kazel frowned and prepared to summon a new magic card. Seeing this, Dark immediately said, “Professor, I’ll handle it.”
As soon as he spoke, the [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] beside him pointed its hand, declaring the destruction of the python: “Time of death, thirty seconds later.”
Professor Kazel’s heart stirred, and he immediately instructed the [Black Steel Puppet] to continue attacking.
The python, deprived of the support of the elephant’s main body, lost much of its strength and defense.
The [Black Steel Puppet] brandished its pitch-black sword and charged forward. Its movements were lightning-fast; the longsword turned into a blur, piercing through the python’s defenses and slicing through its body—such injuries would have been ineffective on the python before, but its regenerative abilities seemed to vanish, leaving countless wounds inside it.
Thirty seconds passed swiftly, and the [Black Steel Puppet] calmly sheathed its sword, leaving the python dismembered.
The [Magical Beast: Destroyer God] extended its hand again, and a black shadow emerged from the python’s corpse—it was the python’s “wraith,” a special spirit born under the effect of the ultimate skill.
Professor Kazel’s eyes flickered with surprise: “How long can this wraith last?”
Dark replied, “Three minutes.”
Professor Kazel immediately said, “Then let it cover our retreat!” Dark responded, “Understood.”
Earlier, Professor Shylph had concluded from her use of the [Elemental Wind Spears] that they should withdraw!
Neither Dark nor Professor Kazel doubted Professor Shylph’s judgment, so they promptly began preparations for withdrawal.
However, the trio from the Church of the Saints felt puzzled.
Their confrontation with the elephant earlier clearly showed an advantage, despite not causing any clear damage. The elephant’s attack methods were extremely limited, and its attacks using its trunk did not cause significant harm. In fact, it was even less dangerous than the [Demeter’s Flower].
The only notable aspect was the force field deployed to defend against the [Elemental Wind Spears].
But deploying the force field also meant that its main body could not withstand the attack of the [Elemental Wind Spears]…
Why withdraw under these circumstances?
Normally, shouldn’t they combine their efforts to defeat the elephant?
Moreover, they needed to extract information about Professors Steven Harvey and others from the elephant.
Of course, the primary reason was to learn about the whereabouts of those three professors. This hesitation led the trio from the Church of the Saints to pause.
However, after transmitting her message, Professor Shylph unhesitatingly began to withdraw.
Under her command, [Bride of the Storm City] charged out, creating two hurricanes that struck the elephant.
The hurricanes swept away the mist, revealing the elephant’s face.
The elephant suddenly lifted its head, and its tusks collided with the two hurricanes, shattering them effortlessly.
But the next second, Bishop Sabrina Melville’s [Black Prison Angel] sped toward the elephant’s forehead and slammed down with a palm!
A black mark from her palm struck the elephant’s forehead. However, the same technique had already been used once.
The elephant, being intelligent, would not fall for it again. “Boom! Boom!”
Two drumbeats echoed, and another force field unfolded from within the elephant, pushing back the [Black Prison Angel].
Then, the newly regenerated trunk of the elephant coiled around the [Black Prison Angel].
Its eyes narrowed, and the trunk tightened, attempting to strangle the [Black Prison Angel]!
“Black Prison Angel, teleport back!”
Bishop Sabrina Melville ordered immediately.
The [Black Prison Angel]’s form vanished instantly, reappearing beside Sabrina Melville.
Sabrina Melville no longer hesitated, waving her hand and saying, “Withdraw!”
Of course, there were proper ways to withdraw.
She would try to lure the elephant in another direction to prevent it from charging eastward.
The [Twin Sacred Knights] acted swiftly upon receiving the order. Albert’s [Sword Guardian Angel] transformed into shield mode, summoning the [Light Divine Shield] to block in front of everyone.
Emily’s [Dull Angel] flew directly into the mist, using the [Dull Aura] to slow down the elephant.
Then, the trio from the Church of the Saints followed Professor Shylph to withdraw northward.
Professor Kazel slowed down slightly, waiting until Professor Shylph landed on the steel golem before accelerating again.
As soon as Professor Shylph landed, her expression quickly darkened, lowering her voice to say, “Hurry up!”
Professor Kazel’s face changed, and he immediately summoned a magic card named [Power Device], equipping it on the steel golem’s back.
With the flames spewing from the [Power Device], the steel golem accelerated instantly! Although the trio from the Church of the Saints did not know why, they did not hesitate to burst into speed. Their movements were incredibly fast, so much so that by the time the elephant reacted, they had already fled the camp to the north.
Under the influence of Emily’s [Dull Angel]’s aura, the elephant’s subsequent actions were delayed.
It lifted its front leg in anger and stomped forcefully.
An earth-shattering explosion erupted instantly, with the ground exploding at an incredibly terrifying speed.
The hill where the camp was located vanished amidst the thunderous roar. The raging shockwave even reached the feet of the steel golem.
Albert and Emily sensed in that instant that the [Sword Guardian Angel] and [Dull Angel] had returned to their magic cards.
Those two powerful angelic beings had been instantly annihilated!
[Good evening, (°一°)]
