Chapter 959: Shadows of the Night (4k)
The belly of the Wind King, which surrounded the magic carpet and dispelled the mist—the Wind King Barrier.
Once the barrier was broken, invisible beasts hidden in the mist surged crazily. They lay in wait within the mist, their presence undetectable, even by the sharp senses of Professor Shylph.
The third eye of the Magical Beast, the Goddess of Heartful Eyes, could penetrate the mist and see through illusions, but it too failed to detect their existence.
They rolled with the mist, awakening in the darkness, attacking any living creature that approached the highest peak.
Dak and his group were caught in the crossfire, and countless ‘Mist Beasts’ continued to pour in from all directions.
“Albert!”
Bishop Sabrina Melville gave an order.
Albert Grantham rushed out alongside the Sword Guardian Angel. The Sword Guardian Angel had already transformed into a defensive form, holding two shields in front of him, and instantly used the Ultimate Skill called Holy Light Shield.
Sacred light illuminated from the giant shield in his hand, turning into a massive wall of light.
The invisible Mist Beasts collided with the Holy Light Shield one after another, causing continuous explosions.
The Sword Guardian Angel spread his wings as wide as possible, trying desperately to withstand the impact of the Mist Beasts, but he still fell back step by step, with numerous cracks appearing on the Holy Light Shield.
“Bang!”
Suddenly, a sound like a huge hammer striking water. The Holy Light Shield shattered.
The Sword Guardian Angel could no longer support himself and retreated backward. But Albert Grantham did not retreat; instead, he advanced.
Not only was he under the protection of Sacred Protection, but he also had a protective barrier similar to the Holy Light Shield, raising his overall defense to its limit.
He could not see the shape of the Mist Beasts, but by observing the attacks received through the Holy Light Shield, he managed to grasp some information.
He had undergone special training in fighting without sight, though it couldn’t fully apply to the current situation, it still helped.
The biggest feature of the Mist Beasts was their invisibility. They were shapeless and undetectable.
This was their natural trait, not something bestowed by magic or other abilities.
When fighting such opponents, even “crisis warning” abilities were hard to trigger.
Albert Grantham swung the Great Light Sword at high speed, attempting to cover every inch of space around him.
From Dak’s perspective, it looked like he was wildly swinging his sword.
But this approach proved effective.
Albert Grantham clearly felt the Great Light Sword touching something solid, and immediately followed up with a series of strikes to eliminate them.
However, eliminating just one was futile. More and more Mist Beasts attacked him as he moved.
He showed no fear and fought bravely.
At some point,
His sword-wielding arm suddenly flew off.
Albert Grantham’s arm was severed at the root!
“The protective shield of the Holy Light Shield wasn’t broken, and Sacred Protection didn’t even fluctuate. It was a hit that could penetrate the defense,” Dak analyzed calmly.
“The beast that made this attack in the mist must be stronger than the others.” At this moment, Emily Grantham had already flown out like the wind, and the Sluggish Angel accompanying her released its strongest Sluggish Aura.
The Mist Beasts intending to attack along the way were instead avoided death due to the Sluggish Aura.
Emily Grantham swung her staff-sword at Albert’s face, then quickly pulled his body backward in retreat when it missed.
With the perfect performance of the Sluggish Angel, she smoothly brought Albert Grantham back onto the magic carpet.
As for his flying arm, it was controlled and retrieved by Professor Shylph using wind elements the instant it flew away.
Professor Kazel immediately prepared, “If Professor Harvey were here, this minor surgery wouldn’t take more than three minutes.”
Albert Grantham’s face darkened, clearly unable to accept his sudden defeat.
“At least one of those Mist Beasts is particularly powerful, Professor Shylph,” Dak said.
Professor Shylph had already established a soul connection with the Wind Element Lord Shylph.
Under this soul link, Professor Shylph and the Wind Element Lord Shylph were almost synchronized in thought and action.
They could think and act in unison, as if they were twins who understood each other without words.
Using this connection, Professor Shylph could easily accomplish things that would be impossible for a single person.
The simplest thing was to synchronize the use of ultimate skills.
Whatever ultimate skill the Wind Element Lord Shylph could use, she could use as well.
And any wind element spells she could chant, the Wind Element Lord Shylph could cast simultaneously.
Once she had an idea, she could control the entire area’s wind elements completely.
“Wind Blade.”
She whispered softly.
The group wind blade spell, which usually required a long time to chant, was instantly cast.
In the前方区域，一道接一道的风刃接连浮现，转眼间已无法计数。
Professor Shylph reached out and grabbed, filling the entire space with countless wind blades.
There were no roars, no screams, not even the sound of landing.
It was impossible to feel the killing of the Mist Beasts, yet they were indeed dying in large numbers.
But their bodies remained invisible and undetectable, disappearing into the mist upon falling.
“Boom!”
A cluster of wind blades at Albert’s original position seemed to be smashed open instantly.
A larger Mist Beast broke through the wind blades.
Professor Shylph narrowed her eyes, and at the same time, wind element spears condensed at her fingertips.
Two wind element spears were fired simultaneously, merging instantly with greatly increased power.
That extremely strong Mist Beast was instantly destroyed! But the Mist Beasts continued to surge, endlessly.
Like whales, Mist Beasts emerged silently from behind the mountain.
