Chapter 256: A Just Beating of the Cultist

If only the weapon had been easier to use, Isabella felt she could have chopped off Chyzh Winchester’s entire arm directly.

But unfortunately, there are no "ifs" in battle.

After landing two hits, Isabella stepped back in front of Tina again.

After using the mystical technique, Tina clearly had no fighting strength left for a while. The remaining magic was all used to keep her life force active and her soul stable with healing mystical techniques, so it was impossible for her to protect Lolth from the two cultists.

Therefore, Isabella could not just stand there holding Lolth, like a target, without doing anything.

Ranster and Chyzh Winchester, who had regained their senses, showed expressions of shock and anger.

"Damn it, it’s you again—I will kill you!"

Chyzh Winchester looked at Isabella, her eyes wide with pain as she pressed her hand over her shoulder where cold frost was rising, her right hand hanging limply down, speaking in a hoarse voice.

Ranster also slightly narrowed his eyes.

"What a lively young girl. Is this the power of ‘Ryman Ice’…?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a stick that looked like a sharpened tree branch from the tattered sleeve of his burlap robe, his tone showing a hint of anger.

"But strength and power cannot be gained merely by increasing magic and intensity!"

As he spoke, the cheap and ordinary wooden staff in his hand turned, its end pointing towards Isabella.

"You see, those big shots in Seychelles, that old man, and you all… none of you have taken me seriously, and that’s not a good habit!"

As Ranster said this, a layer of dark Ultimate Power covered the entire wooden staff.

Then, the geometric patterns that appeared earlier showed up in front of him.

It was the shape of the seventh-level magic that had hit Isabella before, but it was slightly different now.

Seeing this scene, Isabella hadn’t yet realized the magic’s uniqueness, but Tina, as the spellcaster and elven priest, sensed something was wrong.

"No… Isabella, quickly dodge! This is not seventh-level magic!"

As soon as the words were spoken, it was already a little too late.

The seemingly same magic struck the now stronger Isabella, but the effect was completely different.

The complex magic structure made up of intricate geometric patterns collided with Isabella again, and the power that burst forth was not ordinary magic, but the dark Ultimate Power.

"What?"

Even though Isabella had encountered this evil god’s power before, after being hit with such a large amount of Ultimate Power, she still found it hard to react correctly at first.

Even Chyzh Winchester, who stood behind Ranster, showed a look of surprise at this scene.

"Ranster… this is not the Lord’s divine spell… using the Lord’s power like this is pure blasphemy!"

She even forgot about her shoulder injury and started mumbling as if she were in a trance.

"Shut up, Chyzhpriest, this is what the Lord has allowed," Ranster said firmly, pointing at Isabella, "And look closely—this is the effect of my spell! I’m giving you a taste of your own medicine!"

Applying Ultimate Power to ordinary magic is not as simple as just replacing all the energy.

After all, different magical properties are completely different, and the difficulty is like trying to make a teacup from a roll of toilet paper!

This challenge is indeed very difficult; whether as a priest of The Final Church or as the vice president of the Truth Society, this can be called Ranster’s masterpiece.

It’s a pity that because of his undercover identity, he cannot use this move casually in normal situations or battles.

Only when he is deep in the demon race’s territory, surrounded by companions from The Final Church and enemies who are destined to fight to the death, will Ranster use this trump card.

This proud move indeed caused a lot of trouble for Isabella; the left side of her chest and her entire left shoulder were covered by Ultimate Power, blocking the flow of magic.

"This move can only work once."

The advantage that Isabella had just gained was now completely lost again because of Ranster’s move.

But she knew that next time, she would definitely be able to defend against such a move.

Hearing Isabella’s words, a relaxed and playful smile reappeared on Ranster’s face.

"There won’t be a next time, little girl."

As he spoke, the branch he held lightly drew a half-arc, and a more terrifying and ultimate power began to gather before the staff, forming a pure area of darkness.

This time, it was a "pure divine spell of endings."

If converted into magical terms, the current magical energy wave intensity has already surpassed level eight, nearly reaching level nine.

If it continues to gather, it could very likely reach the level of a forbidden spell.

But neither Tina nor Isabella could interrupt him!

Tina needed to protect Lolth and had not yet regained her magic; Isabella had just taken a hit from the Ultimate Power and also temporarily could not move.

Ranster realized this, which is why he dared to carelessly start gathering Ultimate Power right in front of them.

"Damn it…"

Isabella noticed that the other person was not fooled by her presence and realized she couldn’t attack right now, so she gritted her teeth and hurriedly used her magic to consume the Ultimate Power.

But no matter how she looked at it, there was no time left!

Just as she began to think about a "strategy," a neutral voice and a sharp sound of a sword echoed behind Ranster.

"Purity—"

A pure white light from the sword flashed and struck towards Ranster!

"Slash!"

Along with it came a quick and sharp sound, as if a deadly arrow was flying towards him.

Beneath the sword light, an even faster shadow arrow was also heading toward him!

Realizing that someone was attacking Ranster, she couldn’t help but give up gathering Ultimate Power and turned to defend herself!

However, even so, he was still wounded on his back by the sword light and shadow arrow, a tear appeared in his linen robe, revealing a long and deep blood mark that crossed his shoulder.

"Who is that guy attacking from behind?"

He felt the pain in his back and turned around to see a young man stepping out from the shadows of the torture tower, carrying a long box and holding a white metal sword. Next to him was a scruffy-looking uncle in a green tight suit wearing a hunter’s scarf, with a longbow slung over his shoulder, looking quite funny.

This duo was, of course, the former tavern pair from Hillenbrand Town, An and Maider!

Although these two came because they heard Tina’s shout, Tina couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

"Maider’s profession turns out to be… a ranger?"
