Chapter 283 Triss's Purpose
Triss wore a long dress that allowed her to move easily, her hair was neat and straight, and she had a sweet smile on her face.
She was nothing like the drunkard Raphael had seen her the last time.
The short sword she had just thrust out pierced through the "Dark Saint's" black armor and penetrated deeply into his illusory body. Although the mask covered his face, the injury made his eyes even more bloodshot.
That was a "fatal strike" at the demigod level of the "assassin" path. Although it didn't have the same attack power as "harvest," it still had enough armor-piercing ability to penetrate most extraordinary armor.
After Triss landed a successful blow, she quickly used "Mirror Jump" to retreat away from the battlefield, watching Kexma continue to fight the phantom with goat horns.
Kexma glanced at Triss with her scarlet eyes: "It's you?"
Triss smiled sweetly: "That's right, it's me. Didn't expect that, did you? I've been watching you all along."
They "met" more than a month ago. Triss was no longer so depressed because she felt that her revenge plan was almost complete, and she was trying to find a new life.
Just then, she unexpectedly obtained a clue to the "Heart of the Mirror God," one of the main ingredients in the "Immortal Witch" potion. She followed the clue and was about to succeed when she was attacked by Butis and Kesma, and nearly lost her life.
Butis was unaware that Triss had previously heard about the Aurora Society's saint from Prince Edsack.
So after recovering from her injuries, Triss disguised herself and joined this high-level gathering, looking for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
She hadn't expected the opportunity to come so quickly, and of course she wouldn't miss this chance to attack Kexma.
"Cough cough." Kesma coughed as he parried the "Magma Sword" with his black straight sword, then released the "Witch King's" soul, bathing everything around him in a crimson moonlight, as if the crimson moon had appeared on the roof of the room.
This Sequence 4 level soul was a monster that Kesma "herded" when he was in the "Wonderland". Those monsters were generally not very intelligent and did not know when to escape, so they were "herded".
After arriving in the Northern Continent, it becomes very difficult to "herd" souls of this level.
Kesma's speed in the moonlight was so fast that he left afterimages. He quickly bypassed the phantom of the "Eye of Illusion" and planned to escape the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Raphael in the "Dark Lodge" was still hesitating: should he join forces with Triss to kill Kexma, or let Kexma go?
However, he soon realized that he wasn't very familiar with Triss, and that this collaboration was unplanned and full of uncertainty.
Moreover, even if he killed Kexma, he would only gain a few extraordinary traits. Raphael already possessed several demigod-level traits, including the "Black Knight" trait. To him, traits obtained through this method were of little use.
Since there aren't enough benefits, let's just let Kesma go.
At least if this "Shadow Saint" were alive, he could still be of some use.
The thought occurred in an instant. The Lord of Evil raised his hand and casually marked Kexma's spirit, while ordering the phantom not to make a move.
But at that moment, Triss suddenly clenched her fist, and Kexma, whose movement was so fast that it left afterimages, lost her balance and almost fell to the ground.
At some point, Kexma's entire body was wrapped in fine spider silk, which was as thin as a hair but stronger than steel bars!
While Kexma and the phantom were exchanging blows, Triss was not only spreading the extraordinary virus, but also secretly laying spider webs.
Triss raised her other hand, clenched her fist, and sent joy, curse, and black flames toward the spider silk.
For a moment, Triss seemed even more beautiful, and then she exuded the mysterious and evil aura of a witch, giving her a very unique charm.
Almost simultaneously, the straight sword in Kexma's hand disappeared, and his palm suddenly transformed into a bone knife. He slashed downwards at himself, severing all the spider silk.
But in that instant, Kexma trembled all over, first letting out a sound of relief. His eyes were just beginning to glaze over when his spirit was severely injured by the curse, and then black flames burst into flames all over his body.
The expression beneath the mask of Ksma was one of intense pain, a mixture of spiritual and physical torment, yet also a sense of pleasure.
"Cough cough cough~"
At the same time, Kesma felt as if his lungs were being scorched by flames, unbearably hot, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.
The next instant, Ksma suddenly turned into a black shadow, and the crimson moonlight in the room suddenly dimmed.
The black flames on his body, along with the pleasure and the curse, most of it appeared in the shadows outside the room.
The black shadows ignited deadly black flames, and the creatures of the shadow world howled in agony, beating their bodies to stay afloat. Meanwhile, rats, cockroaches, and even microorganisms hiding in the dark corners of the real world were burned to death.
Although most of the black flames and curses were transferred out, the extraordinary virus could not be transferred out, and Kexma's condition was more serious than before.
However, Kesma had just broken free of the spider silk's restraints, and now that he was in slightly better condition, he immediately transformed into a shadow and fled. His movements were agile, and without the help of the spider silk, Triss found it difficult to attack him.
He can escape this place as long as he "meets" the shadow outside.
It was nighttime, the streetlights were dim, and the whole city was shrouded in shadows; no one could find him.
Click~
Just then, a bolt of lightning, flashing silver and appearing incredibly powerful, struck in front of Kexma, forcing him to abandon his attempt to jump into the shadows.
wow~
Just now, a magnificent bolt of lightning ripped a large hole in the roof, through which a robust and imposing middle-aged man could be seen flying in mid-air.
His eyes seemed to hold lightning and storms at all times, and he wore a Storm Church bishop's robe with exquisite embroidery.
It was Archbishop Radar Valentine from the outskirts of Backlund!
He glanced with a dignified look at the illusory image of the "Eye of Illusion," then at Triss, and finally his gaze settled on...
At the place of "Dark Saint" Kesma.
For him, dealing with this "Black Knight" is definitely the priority!
Triss smiled slightly, then went into "invisibility" mode again.
Raphael, inside the "Dark Lodge," realized that Triss's purpose was to buy more time so that the official Extraordinary Ones could arrive.
The first demigod to arrive, unless they are from the military or the royal family, will definitely prioritize dealing with the saints of the Aurora Society.
Raphael then withdrew the power of the "Eye of Illusion" phantom, preparing to observe the demigod-level battle before him as an observer.
The "Black Knight" is quite resilient and has plenty of escape skills. Raphael estimated that the "Dark Saint" could escape, but he would still be skinned alive by the Archbishop of the Church of Storms.
