Chapter 569 Two Joined The Fight
Rescuing Rachana not only allows them to avoid the wrath of Lord Raven. As the best vessel made by the Spectre so far, she would soon contain and merge with Birsha's spirit should Lord Raven's earthly body finally die.
Although most of the people thought that the 'vessels' were actually people who had a fragment of spirit within them, the real vessels were actually Lord Raven's future bodies.
All the people who were called 'vessels' had the spirit fragment with them. That is because the Spectre was trying to ascertain and condition their bodies to become the spare bodies of Lord Raven.
Some of them would completely absorb the spirit fragment, while others would just remain stagnant, at most they could only manifest stronger curse power than curse users without a spirit fragment.
Those who were successful to meld the fragment into their own spirits would become the future vessels of Lord Raven, who was the first man who had ever successfully united with the full spirit of Birsha.
Birsha is he and he is Birsha.
From the first generation until now, Lord Raven had already used ten generations of vessels.
Now that his body was nearly in its perishing state again, Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak knew that they could not afford to lose another true vessel, Rachana.
"Do you regret that you did not complete the ritual of the vessels before you sent Rachana to this place?" As they dashed, Emperor Razak asked Pope Ramir.
"Kind of… but in my mind, Rachana should have given birth to a worthy offspring with the Seirende Bloodline first before she entered the ritual." Pope Ramir replied with a serious tone.
"I should have let Ranon complete his ritual before he was sent to war. If he had, then he could not have died that easily…" Emperor Razak mumbled softly.
Pope Ramir looked at the Emperor and was sympathetic. Crown Prince Ranon's death was completely out of their expectations. It was so fast that they did not even have the time to react before knowing that he was already on the brink of death.
In the end, they could only watch him die in front of the entire Prasinos as the first person to fall from their side during the war.
"Let's not make it happen again." Pope Ramir replied. This is the only thing that he could say in response to Emperor Razak's words.
The Emperor of the Vanderford Empire did not say anything more but immediately dashed toward the holy island at full speed.
On the battlefield, rubble and dust covered the entire area and no one could see the situation between Eli and Rachana at the moment.
And so Abaddon, Gabriel, Mishael, and the rest could only do their best to take out the enemies trying to escape.
However, just as they were doing that, they sensed a strong presence coming over toward them fast.
"Someone is coming!" The dragons shouted and saw the Pope and the Emperor right away.
"It's the Pope and the Emperor!" They immediately shuddered but then they still did not forget to warn and face them in an attempt to stop them.
But Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak both had power comparable to the Chief Dragon so they could only stall them for a few seconds.
Boom! Boom!
A one-sided fight ensued as the rest of the allies also joined to stop the two from approaching.
"We cannot let them go near the island!" They shouted as they struggled to delay them.
The three temple knight captains also moved forward and helped with the stalling, while they hoped that Eli could finish the fight on her own.
"Get out of our way!" Pope Ramir only swiped his hands and saw that the soldiers were thrown into the sea violently.
"You lot! Why are you retreating cowardly?! Kill those who were thrown away!! Make sure that they do not ever come back and pester us in the fight!" On the other hand, Emperor Razak looked at his soldiers and bellowed in anger.
The soldiers heard their emperor and started to chase after the injured soldier who tried to delay the two.
Now that the tables have turned, it is now their turn to chase those who were chasing after them earlier.
With the presence of the two, the stalemate was again broken in favor of those from the Spectre.
Despair came to those soldiers who watched their captains getting easily defeated by the Pope and the Emperor.
Now the mysterious paladin was still occupied with the fight against Rachana, then another two stronger beings.
Who could go against them now?!
"We are really doomed…" They mumbled but they still clenched their swords unwilling to die without killing another enemy.
"Brothers! Let's struggle one last time! One enemy killed is one burden taken away to those who survived!" They shouted as they brandished their swords and fought to the death.
"Cough! Cough! Urgg.." As the rubble settled down, Eli saw Rachana's sorry state. Her skin was badly burned and her armor was utterly broken.
She was half kneeling on the ground while holding her left hand which was completely limp as the white bones showed how badly she was hit by the clashing of power. Her eyes looked at Eli with hatred.
If she had more strength, she would have stretched out her hand and torn away the mask covering her face so that she could see who her opponent really is.
That is her last wish before her final moments!
She could not die not seeing the face of the abominable person who stood in her way!
Eli no longer said anything but immediately looked her eyes at Rachana and dashed forward.
She knew that there was an enemy coming on their way as their presence was already detected by Baobao beforehand.
She had to kill Rachana before they reached her position and stop her completely.
Using her flash step and the strength from Baobao, she dashed to strike Rachana's heart. Her speed was really scary as she didn't even hesitate a single second the moment she found Rachana's location.
"Don't you think about it!" At a distance, Pope Ramir saw that Eli was about to deal a fatal blow to Rachana and so he immediately used his curse power on his entire body.
Then he shot an extremely fast purple light ray at Eli who was fast approaching Rachana.
Bang!
It was a direct hit!
"No!!!!!" Kayden and Mishael saw the scene and shouted in despair. They used every strength in their body to move forward but then they were too injured to even catch up.
Then Emperor Razak and Pope Ramir ignored the soldiers attempting to delay them and moved toward Eli and Rachana's location.
"You shall not go near her!" Prince Nalu and the rest used their might to stop Emperor Razak and Pope Ramir.
They were all using their strongest powers to stop them from attacking Eli and rescuing Rachana.
"Get away from me you filthy roaches!" Emperor Razak let out a large amount of aura in his body which became a sonic wave deafening everyone and pushing them far away with grave injuries on their bodies.
Seeing that no one is near them anymore, the two flashed and moved forward. Pope Ramir stretched out his hand with his nails colored dark purple. Although he would still not locate his target because of the thick rubble and dust, he could already sense her approximate location.
He signaled Emperor Razak and they both advanced in that direction.
"You shall not go near!" Baobao and Wisey, along with the hundred earth fairies materialized and blocked their way.
Thousands of vines sprung on their feet and tried to firmly lock them in place, the earth fairies used all their powers of the earth to stop the Pope and the Emperor from moving.
Baobao and Wisey also took offense and started to attack Pope Ramir and Emperor Razak aggressively.
"Such pests!" Pope Ramir was already fed up with the constant and futile attempts of the enemy to stop them and so he conjured a bright purple flame to burn all the vines around him and the Emperor.
Once they were free, they immediately targeted Wisey and Baobao with their curse power which is actually more potent than that of Rachana's.
Bang! Boom!
Simultaneous attacks were released against the two contracted beasts and were directly hit.
However, Wisey and Baobao stood their ground. Although they were injured, Baobao had a large wound on his belly, and Wisey with her body appears to have faded a lot, they were still standing on their ground unmoving.
Eli, who was utterly injured and prone on the ground, looked at Baobao and Wisey's unmoving figures with her blurry vision.
She immediately stood up and faced the enemy with Baobao and Wisey.
If it entails her facing these two people alone then so be it…
She had no plans to die on this battlefield and leave Leon and Little Han alone!
