270: Raine's Hunting Moment
The Evil Beastman Blood Flame General, who once proved troublesome for Renn, could now only withstand a single blow from him. When the second strike fell, the Blood Flame General was sliced in two.
The Blood Flame falling from the sky appeared terrifying, but as soon as it came within a few meters of Renn, it would dissipate and vanish.
Renn slew three Blood Flame Generals—whom the Fairy Clan's Legendaries couldn't even approach—upon their first encounter. As for the Blood-Patterned Divine Attendants, whom Renn was seeing for the first time, their strength was extraordinary, yet they only required him to swing his blade a few more times.
Under Renn's display of divine might, more than half of the Blood Flame covering the battlefield's sky disappeared.
"What is with that human? How can he be so strong?"
The Guild Master of Primal Blood watched Renn's display of power in shock, while the Evil Beastman Blood-Robed Priests were equally stunned by his strength.
The strongest among the Fel Orcs, a High Tier Legendary Blood-Robed Priest, and the Guild Master of Primal Blood were pinned down by Fabre and three War Ancient Trees. With the constant assistance of Kavadoral's roots, these two strongest combatants among the Evil God Believers were unable to escape.
Renn took in the entire battlefield at a glance. Those two High Tier Legendary Evil God Believers were powerful; even though Renn was immune to their Evil God power, he wouldn't be able to kill such High Tier Legendary experts in a short amount of time.
Thus, upon joining the fray, Renn immediately analyzed the best combat strategy: let the Fairies and War Ancient Trees stall the two leaders of the Evil God Believers while he quickly harvested the remaining cultists, before finally surrounding the remaining two High Tier Legendary experts.
This tactic was executed very successfully. Renn held an overwhelming advantage over the remaining cultists. It was the first time these Evil God Believers had encountered a special existence like Renn, who was completely unafraid of the Evil God's power, and they found his attacks impossible to defend against.
The effect of the purification power attached to the crimson slasher's blade was surprisingly effective.
During his time in the Sealed Land using purification power to cleanse the remnant body of the evil god, Renn's understanding and application of purification power had reached a new level.
Attaching purification power to his weapon to attack the Evil God Believers was a new application Renn had developed.
This method was more efficient in terms of purification power consumption than attacking them directly with the power, yet the offensive effect was not diminished at all. In fact, it was strengthened by combining it with Renn's Warrior Class combat style.
On the battlefield, all the Fairies watched with wide eyes as Renn swept through the field like a whirlwind. Those terrifying monsters who worshipped the Evil God were all turned into mangled corpses under Renn's blade.
Melissa and a Fairy Elder had teamed up just to hold back a Legendary from Primal Blood. Facing the sudden strikes of Evil God power, she and the elder fought with great difficulty and hesitation.
While the struggling Melissa was still thinking about how to break the deadlock, Renn descended from the sky. With one strike, he heavily wounded the enemy before her, followed immediately by a second strike as fast as lightning, completely killing the opponent.
Melissa looked at Renn blankly, then glanced at her former opponent, who had now become a corpse falling to the ground.
"Burn the corpses of these Evil God Believers completely. Don't let those priests use their bodies again."
Just as Melissa clearly heard what Renn said, she looked up to see that he had already gone to hunt another Legendary Evil Beastman.
"Quick, burn these corpses! Burn them all clean!"
Snapping back to her senses, Melissa immediately followed Renn's instructions and began incinerating the corpses on the ground.
By now, the battlefield was completely under Renn's control. Whether it was an Early Legendary Rank Evil Beastman Blood Flame General, a Middle Legendary Rank Blood-Robed Priest, or a member of Primal Blood, Renn could swiftly kill them and end the fight.
As for the remaining Fel Orcs below the Legendary rank, Renn could harvest a whole swath of them with a casual swing of his blade, though he didn't treat them as his primary targets.
Once Renn had dealt with most of the Legendary-level enemies, the Fairies' own Legendaries were liberated and began harvesting the low-level Evil Beastman Warriors.
It had been a long time since Renn had fought such an exhilarating battle, especially after breaking through to Legendary.
"How satisfying!"
"A hearty battle!"
Slaying the last Blood-Patterned Divine Attendant, Renn looked toward the final two enemies pinned down by the War Ancient Trees and the Fairy Clan's Great Elder, Fabre.
All five Blood Flame Generals and both Blood-Patterned Divine Attendants had been slain by Renn. Five of Primal Blood's Legendary Experts had also been killed by him, while the rest, seeing the situation turn sour, had already fled the Verdant Holy Land and vanished.
Renn had no time to hunt down those fleeing remnants; he set his sights on the High Tier Legendary Blood-Robed Priest.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"What kind of monster is this human? How can he be so strong?"
Seeing Renn look his way, the Blood-Robed High Priest panicked. He had witnessed Renn's entire battle process just now with his own eyes.
The opponent wasn't afraid of the Evil God power he took pride in at all, and that crimson longblade could ignore defenses to deal damage. The defensive barriers of the other four Blood-Robed Priests had been easily breached by that blade.
"Get away! All of you, get away!"
The Blood-Robed Priest had still been considering whether he needed to retreat, but in the blink of an eye, the battlefield had undergone a massive change. Now he had no time to think; his only thought was to escape, to run immediately.
"Only thinking of running now?"
Renn approached with his blade, heading straight for the Blood-Robed High Priest.
The Blood-Robed Priest frantically cast various fel spells behind him as his body flew toward the gap in the Verdant Barrier, but the tree branches and roots gathering around him blocked his path.
The two War Ancient Trees and Kavadoral's roots completely sealed off the Blood-Robed Priest's retreat. The crimson slasher arrived on schedule like a messenger of death.
"If you want me dead, none of you shall live!"
With no hope of escape, the Blood-Robed Priest turned back to Renn, his eyes filled with madness.
"Mutual destruction?"
"You won't get the chance!"
Kavadoral's roots coiled upward, and a flash of emerald energy suppressed the Blood-Robed Priest. Then, a sharp blade light shone in the priest's eyes, and everything ended there.
"High Tier Legendary is indeed extraordinary!"
Looking at the Blood-Robed Priest's corpse, Renn sighed. That strike just now had seemed simple, but it contained all of his power. If not for Kavadoral's assistance, the fight might not have gone so smoothly.
The gap between Middle Legendary Rank and High Tier Legendary was vast; Renn could not ignore the Evil God power released by the Blood-Robed Priest before him.
On the other side of the battlefield, after an earth-shattering explosion, half the field was covered in blood mist. By the time Renn blew the mist away, the remaining Guild Master of Primal Blood had disappeared.
"Forget it, if he's gone, he's gone!"
That last High Tier Legendary was the strongest enemy in Renn's perception and an opponent he wasn't certain of defeating. It was just as well that he had fled; the battle could end sooner.
The remaining stragglers on the battlefield were no match for the Fairy Clan. With Renn's assistance, it didn't take long to kill and clear out all the Evil God Believers.
Fabre led the Fairies and Treants to continue cleaning the battlefield, while Renn found a quiet spot to deal with the blood arrow in his hand.
This special weapon, forged from the flesh and blood of the Evil God, could only be completely destroyed by purification power. Renn could not allow this evil weapon to remain in the world.
Now free, Renn used purification power to continuously erode the Evil God's power on the arrow of dokalos.
It wasn't until half a month later that this evil weapon, which had once slaughtered countless lives, was completely destroyed by Renn and vanished from this world.
The battle ended, the Verdant Holy Land grew quiet, and the Verdant Barrier began its continuous self-repair.
