Chapter 93: Heavy Casualties

However, the arcane bullet did not pierce his skull.

His strong survivability allowed him to maintain a considerable combat capability even when his body was pierced and severely wounded.

As a top-tier spellcaster with special life-saving measures, Ashley's survivability was quite formidable.

Severely wounded, Ashley was now greatly shocked.

"How could that enemy's energy bullet be so powerful? My shield is reinforced by my source pool; the deeper the source pool, the stronger my shield."

"Currently, my advanced shield is close to the strength of a secret-pattern-level shield. That enemy's first bullet pierced two layers, and two bullets shattered all four layers of my shield."

"That energy bullet even directly pierced my body, and I possess the Primordial Embryo."

Ashley Jamal, who had thought her shield could withstand the attack, found herself severely wounded due to a moment of negligence.

"Sizzle!"

At that moment, Ashley Jamal felt thunder and lightning sweeping toward her.

"Go!"

Without any hesitation, Ashley Jamal's body flashed with a土yellow light and vanished on the spot.

Zzzt! The lightning pierced through, striking only an afterimage.

But as Ashley Jamal instantly teleported over thirty meters and landed,

a powerful spell immediately enveloped her.

Ashley Jamal sensed it was a strong locking and牵引-type spell.

Then,

Sizzle, sizzle...

Several consecutive powerful lightning bolts pierced through.

"Arcane Shot, lightning spells, locking and牵引, extremely high single-second overlap—is this guy the legendary super-caster Captain Jack?"

"He does have some skill." Ashley Jamal's figure flickered again, quickly evading the bombardment of those several powerful thunderbolts.

At this moment, Gune also felt a stir in his heart.

All along, Gune's opponents were either too strong or too weak.

Under the burst of single-second overlap, basically few could withstand it.

But this fifth-rank female spellcaster from a foreign starry sky not only possessed extremely strong shields but also had incredible vitality. Hit by Gune's arcane bullet, her body had four fist-sized bloody holes, and even her spinal cord was broken, yet she still ran very fast. Clearly, she had some extremely powerful life-saving measure.

Her reaction speed was also astonishing, using teleportation-type spells to narrowly evade Gune's spell bombardment.

More importantly, this female spellcaster was also a spellcaster who walked the path of instant single-second overlap, and her spell power was quite formidable.

"These超凡者 who can follow those foreign experts across the stars to our world are indeed extraordinary," Gune thought to himself.

"But this time, I'm not here to kill you, but to stop you."

This female超凡者 was not weak, and with some trump cards, killing her would be somewhat difficult.

At this moment, Gune was not here to kill her, but to attack her so that she couldn't interfere with George's killing of that severely wounded sixth-rank mid-stage expert.

Including the Dragon Slayer Siegfried attacking the邪神's daughter, it was also to prevent her from rescuing that sixth-rank expert.

From start to finish, the three's target was that sixth-rank mid-stage expert, not the邪神's daughter or the female spellcaster before them.

After another series of small thunderflame spells burst out,

"Go!"

George's roar resounded.

Hearing George's words, Gune and the others immediately no longer lingered.

Taking advantage of the female spellcaster's evasive maneuver, Gune instantly unleashed four blood escape techniques, quickly pulling back two hundred meters, and at a corner, used an invisibility spell to disappear completely.

The entire retreat was completed in the blink of an eye, incredibly fast.

George also moved very quickly, retreating and disappearing rapidly.

The slower Dragon Slayer also turned his body into a flash of blade light and cold gleam, disappearing at extreme speed around the corner ahead.

Three against three, and with a surprise attack, Gune and his group had a huge advantage.

But if they waited for the other four who had gone out to return,

that advantage would instantly turn into a disadvantage.

Therefore, the single-target kill plan centered on George was the main task this time.

As long as George completed the kill on the enemy, the three would immediately withdraw, killing one at a time, never greedy for more.

The邪神's daughter and the female spellcaster with extremely strong shields were hard to kill.

So this time, they would first kill that combatant who probably had poor life-saving abilities.

And事实证明, that combatant was indeed easy to kill.

That female spellcaster had extremely strong shields; Gune's one bullet might not even be able to pierce her head.

And that邪神's daughter, even if her head was shattered, could probably still fight vigorously.

After completing the kill on the combatant, the three immediately withdrew.

Their retreat was quite decisive.

So much so that when the three quickly withdrew,

the severely wounded female spellcaster Ashley Jamal and the邪神's daughter Himer, who was in the midst of activating her power, were still on alert.

They couldn't even believe the enemy had retreated so easily.

If they had continued fighting, the two of them might not have been able to defeat the three opponents.

"They withdrew so quickly?"

A dozen seconds later.

Whoosh!

An afterimage quickly appeared beside the two.

The newcomer was the sixth-rank starry sequence shadow, Kukaron.

"What's the situation?"

Seeing traces of battle and someone lying on the ground, Kukaron asked with a dark expression.

"We were ambushed, by the Dragon Slayer and his group." Himer, alert to the surroundings, said in a deep voice, still fearing the enemy might launch a counterattack.

"Where are they?" Kukaron looked around, his face full of killing intent.

"Fled, and quickly."

The邪神's daughter Himer's expression was somewhat ugly.

Now she understood why those guys had fled so fast.

They got the benefit from a surprise attack and immediately withdrew; these guys didn't want to suffer any loss at all.

Their cunning was infuriating to the extreme.

Some of her trump cards caused her great damage and could only be used in life-or-death situations.

Otherwise, she would have killed that Dragon Slayer just now.

After looking around and confirming the enemy had left, Kukaron finally looked at the two.

"How are you two?"

"I'm fine." The邪神's daughter Himer gently shook her head.

"I'm injured, but I can recover after a few hours of rest."

At this moment, Ashley Jamal, her face somewhat pale and her breath weak, said.

The two immediately looked over.

At this time, Ashley Jamal sat cross-legged and began to recuperate, while speaking.

"You need to be careful of that spellcaster. His shooting power is very strong; even if he escapes, he might ambush us from a distance."

"That kind of bullet with annihilation and corrosive properties easily pierced my flesh. The wounds are hard to heal in a short time. Although you have powerful magic-gold-level leather armor and other超凡 equipment, I feel it probably won't stop them."

"More importantly, that guy will definitely aim for your heads."

"I possess the 'Primordial Embryo,' a starry treasure, which ensures sufficiently strong vitality. You don't have such treasures."

"Once your body is broken, or major bones are damaged, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced."

"Hmm?"

Both nodded slightly, while carefully guarding against the surroundings to prevent another ambush.

Unfortunately, she hadn't felt Gune's small thunderflame spell, or she would have added, "Also be careful of his lightning spells; their power is terrifying."

"Where is Max? He seemed to be hit by that spellcaster's shot just now, and appeared severely injured." After looking around and not finding Max's figure, Himer asked in confusion.

Earlier, both of them were in extremely intense combat and had completely missed Max's situation and whereabouts.

Now that they came back to their senses, they realized Max had disappeared.

Kukaron also looked around carefully in surprise, but didn't see a single trace of him.

When the other three quickly arrived,

they searched the area several times and, after deducing and divining based on the bloodstains on the ground, finally confirmed:

Max was dead, and even his body had been taken away.
