Chapter 505

Three Hundred and Eighty-One: Line Thunder

Thinking deeply, Dorothy thought, and at that moment, she sensed a disturbance from the distant Spider Fang Priest.

“That guy… wants to launch an attack right here…”

…

In the distance, on the field where the Spider Fang Priest was standing, he had recovered from his heart injury and was now gazing sternly in the direction of his enemy.

The Spider Fang Priest stretched out his hand, and suddenly a large amount of bl**d mist began to rise from his body. This bl**d mist quickly dispersed and then condensed again, eventually forming a bright red spear in his hand.

Holding the bright red spear, the Spider Fang Priest took aim as if about to throw it. After a brief moment of charging, he forcefully threw it toward his distant target with incredible speed.

Under the power of “Cup” above the second tier, the crimson spear shot straight up into the sky. The “Shadow” entwined around it made the spear light and swift. Coupled with the power of “Cup,” the spear tore through the night sky at an unbelievable speed, flying directly toward the enemy three kilometers away.

‘Feel… the erosion of the crimson bl**d…’

Looking at the far-off crimson spear, the Spider Fang Priest thought to himself.

The Spider Fang Priest knew that under the spiritual thread connection, it would be difficult for him to get close to the target. An unexpected wound could destroy his body, causing him to fall.

In this situation, he chose to launch a ranged attack without getting closer!

Using his ability, the Spider Fang Priest called forth the bl**d mist to form a spear, which he then launched. With the support of “Cup” above the second tier and “Shadow” above the third tier, this spear could easily fly three kilometers.

Upon landing, the spear would immediately turn back into bl**d mist, spreading into the air. Within a very short time, it would engulf a radius of three hundred meters. Any living creature within this area that came into contact with the bl**d mist would be eroded as it seeped into their bodies. Since the bl**d mist could penetrate directly through the skin, holding one’s breath wouldn’t help defend against it.

The bl**d mist spear had a lethal radius of three hundred meters. The spear’s flight speed would quickly hit the target behind the scenes. Given the Spider Fang Priest’s knowledge of the target’s speed, even if the target started running away now, they would still be unable to escape the bl**d mist’s reach.

The Spider Fang Priest intended to defeat the enemy using such long-range attacks. Any living creature infected by his bl**d mist would have no chance of resistance.

…

On the other side, due to the Spider Fang Priest’s perception, Dorothy frowned slightly after seeing the bl**d spear being thrown. She immediately began rapidly analyzing the current situation in her mind.

‘What is that guy trying to do? Throw a spear at me? No way, three kilometers is too far. Does he really think he can pierce me with one spear? What kind of precision would that require?

‘Throwing a spear over three kilometers, even a slight error won’t hit anyone. That guy isn’t that foolish, so there must be something wrong with the spear. Either it can locate the target or it has a wide killing range. Locating a target is unlikely; in mysticism, locking onto a specific target usually requires a medium or some kind of mark. Judging from the way he formed the spear with bl**d mist… it’s probably the latter.

‘After realizing that coming closer might be severely hindered, he started a long-range attack. It’s a reasonable choice…’

In just a moment, Dorothy had judged the Spider Fang Priest’s spear throwing action and began to respond.

First, Dorothy switched to the perspective of the Spider Fang Priest to observe the trajectory of the spear. Due to the vampire lineage’s powerful night vision, Dorothy clearly saw the spear’s trajectory from the opponent’s perspective and immediately calculated its speed.

Then, Dorothy recalled the bird corpse’s aerial view when it passed through this area while heading to Barret’s manor. After mapping it out, Dorothy marked the exact locations of both herself and the Spider Fang Priest, then drew the path of the spear. After calculations, she determined the exact direction and time of the spear’s approach.

Utilizing the unparalleled information processing ability of Extraordinary Being of the White Chalk Tier “Enlightenment,” Dorothy confirmed the key information of the spear’s arrival time and direction in an instant.

Then, she turned her head toward the direction the spear was coming from, looking at the dark night sky, she extended her hand.

At that moment, an electric arc began to dance at the tip of Dorothy’s finger.

With a sharp wind sound, the bright red spear flew across three kilometers through the night sky, heading straight for Dorothy. At the same time, a dazzling electric arc flashed on Dorothy’s hand, tearing through the air, reaching out to meet the incoming spear. Accurately striking it, the bl**d mist that had condensed into the spear was instantly vaporized by the intense heat from the powerful electric shock. After the light flickered, the spear turned into black smoke and vanished.

Relying on the information provided by her powerful information processing ability, Dorothy defended against the incoming attack using the precise lightning strike of a Thunder Summoner.

Next came the moment of retaliation.

‘The damage transmission of the Thread Manipulating Spirit Mage… the larger the damage range, the more spiritual energy is consumed during transmission. After advancement, the remaining “Cup” is insufficient for transmitting large-scale severe damage. Since that’s the case… I’ll have to use this move…’

Dorothy thought to herself, then she consumed a large amount of “Enlightenment” to forcibly bind the Spider Fang Priest using the spiritual thread. She also controlled Edric nearby to sh**t and shatter her own neck, breaking her spine. Dorothy then transmitted this damage to the Spider Fang Priest.

Next, Dorothy focused her gaze on the distant sky, on the thick clouds under the winter night.

…

‘What… happened? Why didn’t the bl**d spear explode? My bl**d spear was destroyed?’

On the field, the Spider Fang Priest looked seriously at the distant darkness, frowning. He did not feel the explosion of the bl**d spear but instead felt its destruction.

Just as the Spider Fang Priest was puzzled about how his bl**d spear was destroyed, he suddenly felt a binding force applied to his body. As the Spider Fang Priest tried to break free, bl**d holes suddenly appeared in his neck.

Under the invisible attack, the Spider Fang Priest’s spine was shattered, and his entire body collapsed uncontrollably. The broken spine combined with the unknown binding force prevented the Spider Fang Priest from moving, and he couldn’t even temporarily transform into bl**d mist.

“What…”

At the same time, above the Spider Fang Priest, the heavy black clouds of winter began to roil. Lightning flashes and rumbling sounds emerged from them.

A strong pressure was brewing within the clouds.

At the same time, Dorothy looked at the thunderous black clouds and recalled the information she had gained after her advancement, muttering to herself.

“The thunderous roar in the sky is the word of the deity, and the lightning that splits the heavens is the writing of the deity. Therefore, this thunder… is the element controlled by the deity of ‘Enlightenment.'”

“Boom!!”

As soon as Dorothy finished speaking, a dazzling flash of lightning split the night sky, striking down from the black clouds to the vast fields. The robust lightning from heaven to earth resembled the most ancient divine pattern.
