Death Guns In Another World

Chapter 1540 - 1371: Madelineʼs Way of Fighting

Suddenly, Madeline pointed her index finger forward.

”———!”

The incoming bone spears shattered into dust and vanished entirely. Then, three bone shields emerged out of thin air and spun around her slowly.

Whatʼs this situation?

Selena and Fred were stunned unable to believe the situation before them. Their rationality told them it should have been impossible.

”Isnʼt that…”

Selena stared in disbelief at the bone shields revolving around Madeline. The bone shields should have been from the undead spell which only Necromancers and Liches could cast. She was obviously a living creature and not an Undead and it was apparent that the holy barrier was cast by her because that there werenʼt too many spellcasters around.

Ben and the soldiers were occupied by the Nightmare Warriors, so it was even more impossible for them to cast it. Selena was a Mage, so she was out of the question. Whereas for Fred, he didnʼt have any conceptions about spiritual spells at all. But not only did Selena cast a spiritual spell, but she also released an undead spell?

Selena bit her lower lip subconsciously.

ʼCould it be that she is…ʼ

The Lich stared blankly at the bone shields. It was apparent that the Lich was fired up even though its expression was concealed by the hood. It took two steps back and scanned the young lady cautiously with its staff in hand. It felt that this situation was extremely odd.

But Madeline didnʼt have any intentions of giving it a chance to survive. She stroked her finger across the page and pointed forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deep explosions filled the sky. Everyone witnessed thick billows of smoke erupting around Madeline, which quickly transformed into ten, black human-shaped figures in a row. They stood by her left and right and were made entirely out of dark smoke. They held blades coalesced from magical powers and their eyes burned with spiritual flames as they fixed their gazes at the target before them.

”What…? This… canʼt be.”

Selena stared in disbelief and even Fred realized that something was terribly off. Oh my goodness, arenʼt those the Nightmare Warriors that the Lich summoned to deal with us?

Madeline wasnʼt in the mood to admire the amazed expressions. She pointed forward and the Nightmare Warriors raised their weapons and pounced on the Lich.

The Lich was in for a pitiful time. The Nightmare Warriors were Undead Creatures and due to the principle behind attribute immunity, the Lichʼs spells were ineffective on them. Of course, it could target Madeline who was the mastermind over the Nightmare Warriors.

However, also due to the same principle, the Lichʼs undead spells were useless on Orchid Heart as she was protected by the bone shields around her. The bone shields could still be destroyed by high-level spells, but under the enchanted field, the Lich had weakened and fallen off to the Master realm. It showed what miserable state it was in for Fred to shatter its bone shield in a single strike.

Besides, even though Fred destroyed its bone shields, it was due to the difference in elemental attributes, after all, so there wasnʼt any immunity or weakening effects. However, it was different from the Lich. It could only cast spells of the same attribute. Even though, as Mages, they had also learned other spells for emergencies, they were limited, after all.

Moreover, some elemental spells were totally the sworn enemies to the Undead Creatures, just like how some Liches couldnʼt learn the ʼTongue of Flameʼ spell.

But there were still other solutions.

The Lich raised its staff and chanted. The dull-looking bone staff in its hand instantly brightened in a glaring radiance. Then, bolts of lightning struck out like lashing whips and two to three Nightmare Warriors turned into dust, which revealed an opening in the tight row of defense. But at the next instant…

A scorching, pure fire-elemental wave of flame pounced on the Lich. The high temperature melted the snowfield and steam filled the sky. In the blink of an eye, it engulfed the Lich and three Nightmare Warriors. But shortly after, a strong gale from within the flames blasted an opening, where the Lich desperately escaped from. It clasped its staff, but it was no longer as confident as before.

”Thatʼs strange…”

Selena knitted her brows. She was sure that the Lich was incredibly weak right now. Of course, she would be asking for death if she charged forward. But the Lichʼs reactions were odd. The spells that it cast werenʼt high-level ones and they didnʼt seem stable.

But, there was something even more odd.

The Lich wasnʼt in a safe territory yet after dodging the fire wall. Madeline tapped the book in her hand and an enormous fireball emerged in the air which blasted forward. The Lich raised its staff and cast a bone shield before it. Shortly after, it released a web of lightning bolts that formed a barrier. At this moment, the enormous fireball had arrived before it and exploded completely.

Boom!

The explosion blasted in all directions. But Madelineʼs hand didnʼt stop moving. She sat upright on her warhorse like a statue and didnʼt move the slightest. She held the page down with her left hand while moving her right hand about like an orchestra conductor. Selena witnessed a streak of dazzling lightning bolt emitted from Madelineʼs fair fingertip that headed into the explosion.

Boom!

A series of contrasting white radiance flickered in the thick, black smoke. The Lich frantically flew out of it and it was apparent from the dancing electricity on its body that it was seriously injured.

But everyoneʼs jaws dropped at the next moment. Madeline swept a glance at the Lich. She lifted her right arm and brandished!

A green blade ray erupted along with her movements. The wind cheetah snarled as it leaped into the air and bit merciless onto the Lichʼs shoulder. The Lich finally couldnʼt escape. It crashed heavily into the holy barrier behind.

”What in the world?!”

Fred exclaimed at the top of his lungs. He widened his eyes and stared at Madeline in disbelief. Of course, he knew what was that move. It was his Wind Blade skill. However, even he required the wind-elemental ʼRaging Stormʼ magic sword to achieve such a perfect result and yet, this young lady cast it with bare hands!

Could it be that this young lady is a Sword expert?

Selena watched with an ashen expression. She finally realized what Madeline had done. When the Lich cast its spell, Madeline had been watching its every movement. After the Lich cast its spell, the empty page beneath Madelineʼs left hand emerged with lines of text and magical runes.

Just like how the line of words emerged above the page when the Lich released the lightning chain spell to strike off the Nightmare Warriors. Moreover, the instant the Lich was caught in the fireball explosion, Selena noticed that Madeline swiped her right hand across the line of words before pointing forward. Then, she emitted a lightning chain from her fingertips that struck the Lich.

All in one…

Selena trembled in shock. She finally understood why Madeline remained silent after the battle began. She had been analyzing the spells used in battle and only released them now. This was extremely terrifying. Just think about how terrifying it was for one in battle to face an opponent who could copy oneʼs techniques and use it as their own…

”Is it over?”

Alex said and startled Selena. She returned from her daze and looked forward with a complicated gaze. The Lich didnʼt seem to have any strength left anymore. It leaned on the holy barrier in silence.

”Itʼs your turn now, Alex… Yawn…”

Madeline tilted her head, rubbed her eyes, and moved aside. Alex nodded and stepped forward. He sized up the powerless Lich and stretched out his right arm.
