#381 - Chapter 380 Desperate Situation
“Dark Demon Star Cluster.”
In just half a minute, the Skeleton Staff lit up again. The Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple actually unleashed two powerful attacks in such a short period of time.
Boom!
【Ninefold Sigh】 shook violently, and two more layers of barriers were broken.
So far, a full four layers of barriers have been shattered, almost half.
“Is this human a little too ridiculously strong?”
Sol's expression changed drastically. With so many magicians guarding the city, even forbidden spells could hardly break through a single barrier.
But facing the Palace Master of this Dark Demon Temple, it was no different from paper.
Even if a god came, it would probably be nothing more than this, right?
“No, that's not right.”
Alesia frantically repaired 【Ninefold Sigh】 while gritting her teeth, "He is very strong, but not to this extent. It's just that the staff in his hand is very special and restrains our Elven power."
“If it weren't for this, the strength of these two attacks would be slightly inferior to high-level forbidden spells.”
“Restraint? How do we solve it?” Sol looked bewildered.
“The best way is naturally to stall him and not let him continue attacking 【Ninefold Sigh】,” Alesia said, “Otherwise, we can only withstand it head-on.”
“Then it seems we can only go out and stall him.”
Sol pondered for a moment, then made a judgment. If the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple continued to attack 【Ninefold Sigh】, the entire barrier would probably shatter in a few minutes.
At that time, Wind Leaf City would truly be doomed.
Buzz!
Just as they were discussing, a golden light flashed outside the city, and Melz made his move.
He gently tossed the golden cross in his hand into the sky. The golden cross quickly enlarged, and golden light surged, enveloping the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple.
“Heh, you think you can stop me with this little trick? Naive.”
The Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple sneered. A magic circle rose beneath his feet, and mysterious runes rotated and arranged themselves, eventually forming a giant vulture.
Gray mist surrounded it, and the vulture flapped its wings, diving towards the golden cross.
Boom!
Gold and gray collided violently, and powerful forces erupted, with shockwaves sweeping in all directions.
“That’s a bit interesting.”
The Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that this attack would be enough to deal with it, but he didn't expect to gain no advantage.
“The interesting part is yet to come.”
Whoosh!
A strong wind suddenly rose, making people's faces ache. In the next instant, a huge fist appeared before the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple.
Melz arrived, his momentum raised to its peak, wanting to kill the Palace Master of the temple who posed a great threat to 【Ninefold Sigh】 with one punch.
Bang!
But as the fist landed, the sound of metal breaking rang out.
The Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple was indeed a leader among god-level powerhouses, able to react to such a sudden offensive, using an instant shift and barrier to defuse it.
Buzz!
Not only that, the Skeleton Staff lit up, and he even launched a counterattack.
“So fast!”
Melz's pupils shrank. He tapped his feet and retreated rapidly.
Sure enough, a bolt of lightning struck down in the next moment, with terrifying power.
“This person's strength is definitely above mine.”
Melz's eyes were solemn. The Palace Master of this Dark Demon Temple, although his burst was not as good as his peak, every spell was instantaneous, and the offensives came one after another, extremely terrifying.
“Kill him.”
What was even more deadly was that the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple was obviously not one to talk about martial ethics. Seeing that one strike didn't solve Melz, he directly issued an expressionless order.
Rumble!
Immediately, the members of the Dark Demon Temple attacked Melz, and magic circles rose up one after another.
Among those who attacked, there were even god-level powerhouses!
“Come!”
Melz roared angrily, but he didn't dare to be careless. With a flip of his hand, a purple crystal appeared in his hand.
He threw it out, and the purple crystal exploded in the air, the tyrannical power blowing away the surrounding people.
Taking advantage of this gap, Melz turned around and ran, still not choosing to resist head-on.
“Attack the barrier first.”
However, his retreat freed the eight mysterious black-robed men.
Without Melz's interference, they could finally attack 【Ninefold Sigh】 without restraint.
And Melz's goal was also very clear, which was the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple.
As for the others, he was too lazy to care.
Because even if several god-level individuals joined forces, the damage to 【Ninefold Sigh】 would not be as great as the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple alone.
“You're really annoying.”
“Since you're so eager to die, then I will grant your wish.”
The Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple's face was gloomy. Provoked by Melz time and time again, he was also filled with anger, wanting to kill this old man who didn't know what was good for him.
Melz didn't say a word, just retreated on his own.
Because the goal of everyone in the Dark Demon Temple was him at this moment.
Even if he had many props brought by the Supreme Temple, even if he had extremely strong life-saving abilities.
But facing an entire cult, it was still too difficult.
A slight carelessness could lead to his fall.
“Kill!”
“Kill this old man, and I will reward you handsomely.”
Under the command of the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple, Dark Demon Temple members surged out like a tide, attacking Melz desperately.
These people's power was too weak, and it was difficult to break through Melz's defenses.
But…
Each of them did not have the slightest fear of death, and launched suicide attacks.
Under this kind of attack, even if Melz had many methods, he was still held back, deeply trapped.
Rumble!
What was equally dangerous was not just Melz.
Not only could the eight god-level powerhouses let go and attack the barrier, but also cultists joined the battle.
Even though the people in Wind Leaf City tried their best to repair it, the speed at which 【Ninefold Sigh】 was damaged was still astonishingly fast.
The flames of war were raging.
“Elder, we have no magic power left… Can’t… Can’t hold on anymore.”
In just half an hour, many elves' faces were pale, their magic power drained, all used to repair 【Ninefold Sigh】, and now they couldn't even stand.
“You have to hold on even if you can’t!”
“Once Ninefold Sigh is broken, we will surely die.”
Alesia was also too weak to stand, but he was still holding on, sending all his power without reservation.
“But… I really have no magic power left.”
Others were also persisting, but their strength was too far from Alesia's, and they were unable to support at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
People kept falling, extremely weak, unable to move even a finger.
They had tried their best, but some things were useless even if they tried their best.
The cult's support made the already unequal sides even more disparate.
Wind Leaf City was already amazing to have lasted until now.
But this still couldn't change the fact that it was running out of steam.
Even in the distance, Melz was in a life-or-death crisis, the Palace Master of the Dark Demon Temple leading a group of followers, completely pushing him into a desperate situation.

There is another chapter, a little later.
