The Paladin in the Abyss

Chapter 756: Chapter 686: The Devotee

“You sound like a true commander of Demons right now,” Alamir said somewhat speechlessly as he looked around the ring of flames surrounding them, “Seriously, I’ve always thought there was something wrong with your obsession with the Fireball Technique…”

Despite the jesting, the Scholar’s fire truly had an excellent effect. They were in an open area among the woods, so there was no need to worry about the flames spreading toward them, and the firelight not only scattered the shadows but also left the Undead hounds with nowhere to hide. Moreover, it dissuaded those creatures accustomed to the dark from turning back and escaping into the sea of fire, driving them all into a panic.

Seeing that the enemy was fully revealed, Lancelot let out a roar like an enraged lion and charged fiercely into the crowd of enemies. Three hand-and-a-half swords, two feints and one real, spun around him in a whirl, while his opponents shattered like pottery upon impact. Utilizing the Human Knight’s astounding momentum, his allies also erupted into action, cooperating seamlessly. It took less than a minute to slay the remaining twenty or so shadow hounds.

In the end, Kalalin summoned a ghostly hand that glowed faintly and gathered all the chunks of corpses together, then threw another fireball to ignite the still twitching chunks of flesh.
