Chapter 571: Lilith’s Masterful Spiritual Manipulation
Jian Wang, Asmodeus, and Elena were all surprised when they saw Hecate in a pitiful situation after receiving Jiu Shen's attacks. They couldn't believe that a man of such caliber actually ended up injured to such a degree.
In particular, Asmodeus watched Jiu Shen with an incredulous expression on his face. He had seen for himself the power of Hecate and with the Impenetrable Crimson God Armor, he was practically an unkillable existence! However, this very man was now in a dire situation!
Suddenly, Asmodeus and Jian Wang clutched their heads as a wave of intense pain struck them abruptly.
'Spiritual attack?!' They both screamed in their hearts as they summoned their protective spells to prevent themselves from being killed.
Elena immediately noticed their situation and she hurriedly helped them by providing a supporting spell that alleviated the pain they were feeling. "Someone is using spiritual attacks! The two of you should be careful. I think Lilith has finally made her move!" She said in a solemn voice as she searched for the graceful figure of the Hall of Creation's Hall Master. However, she seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth as she didn't even see her shadow.
"Elyssier, help me protect these two from spiritual attacks!" Elena sent a mental message to Elyssier.
She couldn't find her position right away since she was using some of her power by protecting Jian Wang and Asmodeus.
"Yes, Sister Elena." She heard a gentle voice inside her head and a rumbling sound echoed beneath the sand as Elyssier came out from her hiding spot.
After showing herself, Elyssier summoned a spiritual barrier to herself and the two men before nodding at Elena.
Seeing this, Elena focused her spiritual power on searching for the traces of Lilith.
A wave of spiritual energy scanned the Desert Region, but Elena still couldn't find Lilith. 'Where is she?!'
Suu! Suu!
Hm?
Elena felt a chill above her.
When she raised her head, she saw hundreds of flaming arrows raining down upon her! She almost screamed in panic. Luckily, she saw Jian Wang appearing in front of her, casually destroying the congealed flaming arrows.
"We will protect you so go and search for that damnable woman!" Jian Wang's voice was filled with anger. The spiritual attack earlier was so painful that he thought his head would explode. If not for Elena's timely support, his soul might have been severely injured.
Elena nodded her head gravely when she heard his words. "I'll leave them to you guys."
Jian Wang and Asmodeus stared at Troy and Sebastian who were looking at them with gazes filled with wariness.
Sebastian summoned thousands of incorporeal fire birds that flashed towards Jian Wang and Asmodeus at breakneck speed.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Seeing this, Asmodeus threw a few dozen Protective Array Formations and Attack Array Formations.
The Protective Array Formations lit up and trapped the flaming birds, while the Attack Array Formations released powerful spells toward Sebastian.
Meanwhile, Jian Wang disappeared in his spot and lunged toward the archer, Troy. He could sense that this guy was more dangerous than the Fire Mage so he thought that he should kill him first.
Jian Wang released a series of sword strikes, summoning dozens of hundred-meter sword waves that flashed towards Troy. "Hundred Sword Wave." He muttered.
The archer felt all the hair on his body rising when he saw Jian Wang's sword strikes. He gritted his teeth as he evaded the sword waves, but he was still struck twice, leaving two deep cuts on his chest and his right thigh. He groaned in pain as he distanced himself from Jian Wang. "Dammit! How annoying!"
Elyssier was still protecting Asmodeus and Jian Wang from spiritual attacks, but she didn't remain idle. She was also providing support to the Heaven Sword Army and their allied troops.
Elena closed her eyes and focused her spiritual perception throughout the war zone. She could see everyone's movements and she could even detect the most minute details. Although doing this drained a lot of spiritual power, this was her only option to quickly find Lilith.
She was using a unique skill that only spiritual practitioners know. It is called Clairvoyance. A skill that enhances spiritual perception at the expense of spiritual energy.
"Found you!" Elena opened her eyes and she quickly congealed an invisible arrow, firing it towards her left side.
Suuu!
Lilith who was hiding sensed the invisible arrow and immediately put up a defensive barrier around herself. However, her position was also compromised when she summoned the barrier. "This woman has some skills." She muttered as she looked at Elena who appeared to be exhausted.
Swoosh!
The arrow congealed by Elena bounced off from the barrier erected by Lilith.
Elena didn't rest and summoned more invisible arrows towards Lilith's position.
Suu! Suu! Suu!
However, Lilith's barrier effortlessly deflected all the attacks thrown her way.
"What?!" Elena yelped in surprise. Each arrow she sent was filled with dreadful power comparable to the full strength of a peak stage Celestial! However, her attack didn't even manage to break the barrier erected by Lilith!
"Your spiritual power is strong, but the way you manipulate it is beneath my level." Lilith shook her head with a voice filled with regret. Her spiritual power was similar to Elena's, but her ability to control spiritual energy exceeded her level!
Elena was a bit angered by her words. She could also feel the difference in how they manipulate spiritual energy. Lilith had already reached a masterful level whereas she was still below that. "Hmph! You've been training for billions of years while I have started later than you! Your words can't affect my heart!" She shouted furiously.
Lilith smiled underneath her veil. "So you noticed? I thought that you would fail to see it." She was using a hypnotizing spell to confuse her, but it seems like Elena noticed it.
Elena stared at her cautiously. This woman might look gentle on the surface, but her every action was filled with cunningness!
