Chapter 664
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I was trying to live by that saying, but the real challenge was that both enemies were closing in on me from opposite directions. If I faltered even slightly on this precarious tightrope, I risked being overwhelmed by both sides at once.
It felt like I was somehow running backward into the fray, yet ironically, I wasn’t even in the heart of the battle.
The heavy rain made it hard to see, but I could make out the flickering void in the distance and the bodies of monsters, sliced through cleanly in one stroke, scattered everywhere.
Ellen had thrown herself onto the battlefield from the start and was far ahead of me. She had already plunged into the heart of Diane, cutting through waves of monsters with her Void Sword and scorching them with Lapelt.
She had recklessly charged in without any escort, but she had Lapelt and Lament to support her. Meanwhile, I had the Immortals on my heels, which made my situation even more perilous.
The deeper I ventured into Diane, the more monsters I encountered, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to choose whether to keep ploughing through the monsters ahead, or turn around and try to break through the Immortals behind me.
Ironically, the only reason I had made it this far was because of the relentless magical barrage being aimed at me. Thousands of archmages were still unleashing large-scale spells on the area around me, determined to end my life.
Boom! Crash!
Since they lacked proper visibility, though, their attacks were blind, and so the destructive spells cast by the Immortal mages did not touch me; instead, they obliterated the monsters blocking my path.
Kururung...
Shhhhh!
