If the difference in strength is too great, no matter how much she knows about the War Apostles, it will be useless; she will only be completely crushed.
However, if the strength difference is not significant, the apostles of war are like meat on a chopping board to her, and she can do whatever she wants with them.
The two figures vanished from the battlefield simultaneously, followed by the resounding clang of metal against metal. The battlefield where they stood was instantly cleared, with both the insect swarm and the soldiers torn to shreds by the aftershocks of their battle.
In just a brief exchange, the Apostle of War felt immense pressure. Many times, the moment he raised his hand, his opponent already knew what he was about to do and had prepared a countermeasure in advance.
He even suspected that the blonde girl in front of him might have some kind of mind-reading ability, but even if she did, how could he not notice it?
The War Apostle let out a war cry, further strengthening its mental defenses.
Seeing this, Elise was also stunned for a moment, but then quickly guessed what the other person was thinking.
Do you think this level of mental defense can withstand my mind-reading?
The apostle of war remained silent, but simply switched his weapon to a spear, preparing to adopt a different fighting style.
Seeing the apostles of war change their weapons, Elise also used the power of corruption to distort her left hand.
Iris's left hand instantly softened and then split into numerous writhing tentacles.
The tainted distortions can affect enemies, as well as oneself, and the effect on oneself is controllable.
The two quickly resumed their fight.
The apostle of war discovered that changing his weapon had not had the desired effect; his movements had been perfectly anticipated by the enemy, and the tentacles had even better countered the weapon he was now using.
Helpless, the War Apostles had no choice but to switch back to longswords.
Elise also changed her form of mutation, transforming from tentacles into a ferocious dragon. It was revealed that this head seemed to be alive, and began to roar terrifyingly at the apostles of war.
This distorted, gigantic dragon head not only effectively countered the weapons currently used by the War Apostle, but could even unleash dragon breath while blocking his weapons.
The unsuspecting war apostle was ignited by the dragon's breath. Fortunately, blood and fire are part of war, and as a war apostle, he was naturally very resistant to fire.
As the War Apostle sustained more and more wounds, his aura not only did not weaken, but even became stronger.
Pain is an integral part of war; as long as they survive, they become stronger.
Anyone who is a believer in war will possess this ability. In the game, this means that the lower your health is, the higher your attributes become. Many skilled players of war like to reduce their health to a sliver, as the combat power of a war believer in that state is terrifying.
Even so, the apostles of war still failed to break through Elise's suppression.
He glanced at the battlefield out of the corner of his eye; the swarm of insects was still endless, while his soldiers had been greatly depleted.
Soldiers in war, after they die, will give back their power to their surviving comrades. If the war is fought to the last man, the last soldier will become very powerful. But the war apostle found that the remaining soldiers did not receive any strengthening.
The war apostles soon discovered that the soldiers who were overwhelmed by the swarm had not died in battle, but had been captured by the swarm and injected with toxins, thus losing their ability to move.
"See, am I not kind? I didn't even kill many of your soldiers."
Only a fool would believe Elise's nonsense. This situation simply means that the other side knew your tactics and made arrangements in advance.
The apostle of war wanted to settle for second best by using war sacrifices, offering the flesh and souls of the dead to the great war in order to gain His divine blessing.
Although not many soldiers died, a large number of insect swarms perished, enough to serve as sacrifices... Wait! What about the insect corpses!?
The apostles of war were astonished to discover that in the midst of this fierce battle, there was a special kind of insect constantly collecting corpses from the battlefield, whether they were soldiers or insect swarms.
Of those remaining on the battlefield, none met the requirements for sacrifice.
Was this also part of their plan?
At this moment, the war apostle suddenly felt a sense of dread.
"If you can't wage war, shouldn't your next step be to transform into a war giant and fight me?" Elise's voice was full of mockery.
The apostle, who was about to transform into a war giant, suddenly froze, and at the same time became even more convinced that Elise had the ability to read minds, otherwise how could she know what he was going to do next?
So the question arises: should he transform into a war giant now?
Volume 1: Chapter 537 What's inside Elise's body?
The answer is obvious. Since the other side has already guessed that he is going to transform into a war giant, they must have also thought of how to deal with it.
If you force yourself to transform, you might fall into their trap again.
With this in mind, the apostle of war decisively abandoned the idea of transforming into a war giant and began to seek other ways to break through.
At that moment, he couldn't see the mocking smile on Elise's face, hidden beneath the mask.
If the opponent really transforms into a war giant, then she will have a real hard time dealing with it. After all, it has thick skin and flesh, and fighting it will feel like scraping the opponent's skin.
However, because the other party mistakenly believed that she had the ability to read minds, they gave up on this idea.
Luckily, she had this mask to cover it up, otherwise her smile would have been seen.
Elise had no intention of stalling for time, after all, if the fusion with Wendy took too long, she would really turn into an insectoid.
With that thought in mind, Elise transformed the tainted mark into chaotic musical notes, and then unleashed a chaotic prayer upon the apostle of war.
The apostle of war suddenly felt his thoughts become chaotic, and even the attack he was planning stopped.
Taking advantage of this moment, Elise once again approached her opponent at an extremely fast speed. This time, she no longer used the blade form, but switched to gauntlets, giving people the feeling that she was itching to fight.
The armor worn by the War Apostle is a gift from the God of War, possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities. It is difficult to penetrate with blades, but it is a different story when it is replaced with gauntlets.
If Elise lands a hit on the opponent, she can use the power of the Earth Goddess to unleash a powerful shockwave on War Apostle IV.
With just one strike, the War Apostle coughed up blood, feeling as if his internal organs were about to be shattered.
However, this is only the beginning.
Then Elise's punches rained down on the War Apostle, even denting his armor.
Perhaps feeling that one pair of hands was not enough, Elise used the power of filth to mutate two more pairs of hands.
This time, the War Apostles truly felt a deadly threat.
He opened his mouth, intending to unleash a war roar to repel his opponent, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Elise shoved a magical bomb into it and punched him to help him swallow.
As for the teeth she knocked out, that doesn't matter.
You can see the magical light shooting out of the War Apostle's mouth as the magical bomb explodes inside.
Although the magical bomb failed to kill the opponent, at least for a short time, this apostle will be unable to unleash War Roar.
Having seized the opportunity to slap him in the face, Elise wouldn't let it go. Her fists, encased in ferocious gauntlets, rained down on the War Apostle's face. Even when he was knocked away, Elise would keep up with the speed at which he was sent flying and continue to unleash incredibly ferocious punches on him.
In an instant, the apostle of war was like a ball, constantly being knocked away, until finally Elise kicked him into the center of the battlefield, creating a huge crater.
Although the fight was exhilarating, such a ferocious attack also put a tremendous strain on Elise's body. For example, the bones in her three hands had been broken countless times.
Fortunately, she is currently in insect form, and with the mark of life, this level of injury is nothing to her.
The apostle of war struggled to climb out of the pit. He had now come to terms with reality. His opponent was not only stronger than him, but also possessed the ability to read minds. He was simply no match for them.
If you continue to entangle yourself in this mess, you will only end up ruining yourself.
The best option at this point is undoubtedly to withdraw from the war and then seek help from one's comrades.
After the apostle of war lifted the war zone, he did not return to the previous battlefield, but appeared in an unfamiliar place, where a giant tree that blotted out the sky could be seen in the distance.
As a war apostle, he naturally knew that it was the World Tree, but he didn't know when the World Tree had appeared here.
To counter the cruel twist of fate, Elise's body contains more than just Wendy.
This World Tree is also her trump card. The reason she is revealing it now is that she doesn't want the Apostles of War to send out information. After all, if people find out that she is cooperating with the Zerg, she will become a public enemy.
A verdant branch drooped down from the sky and gently brushed against Iris.
Elise gently brushed the branch, then said, "Come, help me kill him."
Her voice wasn't deliberately lowered, and the war apostle opposite her heard it clearly. Without hesitation, he immediately left the spot.
As you can see, the spot where the War Apostle was originally standing was pierced by a sharp tree root. If he hadn't dodged it, he would probably have become nourishment for the World Tree.
It's important to know that the roots of the World Tree can take hold in the void; if you get pierced by them, even your armor might not be able to withstand it.
“I think we can still talk,” the War Apostle shouted to Iris as he dodged the World Tree’s pursuit.
"No, you can't give me what I want, so please just die here quietly."
As Elise finished speaking, her figure vanished from the spot. This was an area controlled by the World Tree, where she could teleport without restriction.
They appeared instantly on the War Apostles' retreat route.
Upon witnessing this scene, the War Apostle forcibly changed the direction of his escape, but it was nothing more than a futile struggle.
As the roots of the World Tree gradually covered the entire area, the apostles of war were like insects caught in a spider web, eventually having their bodies pierced by the roots of the World Tree.
The verdant branches brushed against Iris, then shook the roots hanging with the corpses of the War Apostles. At this moment, the World Tree seemed to have transformed into a self-satisfied little brat.
"Yes, yes, I know you're very powerful." Elise rubbed the branches of the World Tree, then put the corpse of the War Apostle into her spatial ring.
With the threat gone, the World Tree gradually shrank and then fell back into Elise's palm, transforming into intricate markings.
Then Elise's carapace fell off, and the deformed parts returned to normal. A worm crawled out of Elise's hand and then transformed into Wendy's appearance.
"Thank you for your hard work," Elise whispered as she leaned against Wendy.
“It’s not hard work. I really like the feeling of being one with you.” Wendy stared straight at Elise, her desire undisguised, as if she wanted to become one with Elise once again.
Volume 1: Chapter 538 When disaster strikes, everyone flies away
"Damn it, have all these people gone mad?"
A handsome young man was constantly teleporting to different locations in order to avoid the blue-haired girl.
Although the other party looked gentle and weak in his mage robes, just a few minutes ago, he had his body smashed by the other party's punch due to a mistake. Fortunately, he had a life-saving item, otherwise he might have died on the spot.
Even though he had no desire to continue fighting, his opponent relentlessly pursued him, seemingly intent on keeping him here.
He had initially thought that his cheap companions might be able to help him, but after glancing at the situation on the battlefield, he quickly abandoned this naive idea.
Because the situation of others is not much better than his.
The worst off is the dragon knight, who was already seriously injured. In order to save his life, he had no choice but to summon his dragon, which is now carrying him as he desperately tries to escape Elena's pursuit.
The juvenile dragon already had many horrific wounds on its body, and it probably wouldn't last much longer.
And that vampire, he'd lost too much blood, his face was deathly pale, like a sheet of paper.
As for the recorder girl, she was also in a very bad situation at this time. Because it was she who summoned the phantom of the War Apostle, which caused Elise to disappear, she was immediately targeted by Nora.
Nora is now relentlessly pursuing her, wielding a giant sword.
Although the recorder documented many life-saving skills, he couldn't withstand the opponent's relentless attacks.
Her book does contain skills for escaping the battlefield, such as long-distance teleportation, but every time she prepares to use these skills to leave the battlefield, a space mage will sneak up from somewhere and disrupt the stability of the space.
She had considered taking care of him first, but he was a space-type mage and extremely cautious. Even if she finally found an opportunity, he would be intercepted by the red-haired girl wielding a giant sword immediately.
The handsome young man was also affected. Although he was a seventh-tier mage, Sally couldn't interfere with his short-range teleportation, but long-range teleportation required time to prepare, so she could still interfere with him.
After interfering with the space again, Sally did not hesitate to hide in a secluded corner and continue to observe the battlefield.
Just then, Sally suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She was startled and was about to teleport away when she heard Sera's voice in her ear: "Don't be nervous, it's me."
Upon hearing Sera's voice, Sally breathed a sigh of relief and then quickly said, "Miss Sera, Elise is missing."
“I know she was forcibly dragged into the war zone, and she probably won’t be able to get out anytime soon.”
"Aren't you worried?"
“There’s nothing to worry about. There won’t be any problems on her end.” Sera answered with complete confidence, and indeed, she didn’t show the slightest worry on her face. Although Elise hadn’t told her what backup plan she had prepared, she, who possessed Elise’s memories, could basically guess what Elise had planned.
Hearing that she had said that, Sally relaxed a little.
"Although Elise is fine, the old Titan is about to run into trouble. I'm going to provide support. Be careful." As Sera finished speaking, she disappeared from the spot.
In fact, most of the people present knew that Elise definitely had a backup plan and that there shouldn't be any problems. However, since Elise was forcibly dragged into the realm of war in front of everyone, this was a slap in the face for Nora, who had just said she would protect Elise.
And it's fortunate that Elise was prepared this time, but what if something like this happens again next time without any preparation?
Thinking of this, Nora's face grew even darker, and the greatsword in her hand transformed into a longsword, unleashing a deadly strike at the recorder.
The recorder and the space around her were instantly cut into countless pieces, and she herself was shattered along with the space.
However, just as the recorder shattered into pieces, another phantom appeared. The phantom turned the hourglass in its hand upside down, and the shattered recorder was instantly reassembled.
A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the resurrected record officer girl; she hadn't expected that her opponent would have such a deadly move hidden.
No, she couldn't stay here any longer. If the silver-haired girl's plan succeeded and that girl named Iris died in the war zone, she didn't even dare to imagine how crazy these people would become.
The best option is to take advantage of the remaining opportunity and find a way to escape from here.
A hint of heartache flashed in the recorder's eyes. He then quickly flipped through the book in his hand and saw a phantom holding a strangely shaped key. He inserted it into the void and gently turned it, and a spatial gate was opened directly.
