The Magic Attack of an Electromancer was unquestionably the mightiest among all Elementalists. This was evidently depicted by Homme Fatales formidable spell.

The Grand Reapers Tier 7 Barrier was without a doubt better than any Tier 4 Defense in terms of damage absorption. Thus, the successful removal of one Demigod Champions soul despite the extremely resilient defense had no doubt greatly encouraged the human challengers.

The positive outcome of the attack was best received by the Elementalists.

The moment Judge confronted the Grand Reaper from a close range, all Elementalists in the combat party had already moved into their predetermined position and expanded their respective Elemental Perception to observe the Divine Specter.

The close inspection through the Perception ability had provided them a better view of the result. Other than the destructed skull, they had also gotten a glimpse that the spell had also cracked the other skull nearby.

This indicated that Homme Fatales attack had taken away far more than one hundred Endurance points from the Grand Reapers Barrier.

Nevertheless, Qin Ruo and the others were not too surprised. Fatale would not be a household name if he, a Level 56 Veteran Electromancer, couldnt inflict damage of this degree. His Magic Attack was highly effective against the Underworld creatures since it had been partially converted to Light Type Damage using Purification Potion (obtained through exchange with Yaeger).

***

But Homme Fatale bold move came with a huge consequencehe now got full attention from the Grand Reaper.

The Divine Specter would show no mercy to any enemy that might threaten its existence. Besides, it had never taken these insignificant Tier 5 human Champions seriously from the beginning.

Thus, having one of its Demigod Souls destroyed by a timid Tier 5 Electromancer was an unacceptable disgrace. The Grand Reaper was infuriated for losing a total of one hundred and seventy Endurance in a single attack.

Behind the giant skull, the dense fog of Death Aura suddenly spun insanely like a turbine. It generated a familiar wailing sound and the momentum created by the motion soon pushed the Skull Barrier rapidly toward Homme Fatale.

Once the Barrier was within thirty meters of the Electromancer, three sword-shaped silhouettes extended abruptly from underneath the Grand Reaper. They were like shadows of three flying arrows and caught up to the retreating Homme Fatales shadow speedily.

The projectile attack did not go unnoticed. Violet Orchid, Slayers Heart, and Qin Ruo exclaimed almost simultaneously, Be careful!; Block the attack under you!; Retaliate!.

But it was all too late. The three swords were simply too quick. They broke out from the soil right under Homme Fatale and penetrated his protective barrier like three giant venomous snakes.

Homme Fatale, who had brought new hope to everyone just a moment ago, did not even groan. The Purple Thundershield wrapping him collapsed instantaneously following the attack as if it was made by a thin layer of paper.

A single attack from the Divine Specter was sufficient to dim the Angelic Wings of Homme Fatale. His dead body plummeted straight from mid-air down to the ground.

Boom!

At the exact moment Homme Fatale body began to plunge, three thick purple lightning split the sky and fell directly on the giant skull. Sparkles flew and the attack ruthlessly sent the entire Skull Barrier into a tremor.

Yowl!

The lightning struck on the barrier instantly destroyed the fractured skull damaged by Homme Fatales previous attack. A dark black spirit rose in the form of smoke and rapidly dissipated into the air.

Right after that, another soul had risen as well! The third Demigod soul on the Barrier was liberated.

Majestic Hero well-timed attack fittingly soothed the low spirit inside the party due to Homme Fatale passing.

***

The consecutive losses in the hand of some petty flies finally evoked the Grand Reapers temper.

The giant skull twisted hideously and the green light inside its sockets suddenly sparkled glaringly. The whistling skull turned and opened its ferocious mouth in Majestic Heros direction.

Judge, meanwhile, had landed safely on the ground and was restored to his prime condition with the help from Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite.

He slid in front of Majestic Hero in time to meet the wailing Grand Reaper.

With a growl, the Steel Berserker lunged himself at the Grand Reaper like an emotionless robot.

He missed his target the first time because the Grand Reaper had teleported. This time

He was not going to make the same mistake again.

You will need to step over my dead body to get to my comrades.

Howl!!!

***

The fall of Homme Fatale had allowed Qin Ruo to recognize a very important fact.

The spell cast by the Grand Reaper was equipped with Magic Penetration effect.

Normal Tier 4 Defensive Barrier would hence not be able to protect them in front of such a monster, who must have studied the art of Magic Element thoroughly.

The only player that could sustain the Grand Reaper attack head-on at the moment was Judge with HP as high as 4700 plus. Fortunately, he still did not need to apply the Great Tree Sap thus far.

Though Qin Ruo could certainly yield some damage on the Death Barrier if he wanted to, judging by his inferior Attack Speed as an Aquamancer, his attack might not be as effective as Majestic Hero or Homme Fatale.

As a result, instead of charging into the battle mindlessly, Qin Ruo reckoned it was best for him to stay back for now and govern the overall situation from a safe distance.

***

After he made up his mind, Qin Ruo stopped at about thirty meters away from the Grand Reaper. He dared not slacken and observed every movement on the battlefield closely.

When he saw Judge had jumped onto the Grand Reaper, he waved his hand without delay.

Rescue the fallen! We need two by Majestic Hero side as well.

After he gave out the simple instruction, four-winged Radiant Priests immediately flew out from his back. Two of them dived toward Homme Fatale corpse while two others rushed in the direction Majestic Hero was retreating to.

Watching Qin Ruos unparalleled composure in handling the tight situation and his outstanding leadership, the hundreds of restless Champions behind him suddenly quiet down.

The uniform silence was a reflection of the commanders unmoved calmness. The anxiety among the party disappeared on its own as the situation seemed to be well under control.

***

Bam! Bam!

Judge finally felt his sword solidly hit the Death Barrier. The two thuds signified that Judge had successfully caught the Death Barrier this time and the stoppage bought some breathing interval for Majestic Hero.

Most of the party members were delighted to see the fourth soul depart the Skull Barrier. They were also encouraged after sighting two Radiant Priests gliding fast toward the site where Homme Fatale had crashed.

Once Fatale was resurrected, he, Judge, and Majestic Hero would then line up vertically against the giant skull.

If Judge, Violet Orchid, and Violetmoon Devilite were able to hold down the Grand Reaper, it would not be long before the Divine Barrier was torn down under the bombardments by the two Electromancers.

However, despite the great initiation, the problem was, could they sustain it?

Is the Divine Specter going to crumble so easily in the hands of a few Tier 5 Champions?

Qin Ruo frowned and remained concentrated on the battlefield, but his mind was clouded by the numerous unknowns and uncertainties ahead of them.

***

Howl!!!

The giant skull vividly projected the wrath of the Grand Reaper. Now, every skull was beaming in green, which made the giant skull eerier than ever.

If the previous appearance of the skull was already daunting enough, then now

It could not be any more frightening when more than a hundred green eyes were peering at you at the same time.

The Grand Reaper was totally provoked after it was harmed by the few Tier 5 Champions continuously.

Following a series of popping sound, concentrated Death Aura started to spew out from within the Barrier.

Judge was the first to be immersed into the thick, black-colored Death Aura.

Thats bad! The healing spell from Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite suddenly lost its target. Another surge of magical fluctuation inside the dark cloud further concerned the two Radiant Priests.

This was when Judges voice was heard coming from within, I am still able to endure it. Quick, use Elemental Wave.

Hearing that, the two ladies looked at each other without a word. The two who shared a firm bonding as friends, or as master and student, immediately understood the intent behind each other eye.

***

Damn! As the Death Aura engulfed Judges figure entirely, Qin Ruo immediately realized his Perception Ability had been forcefully terminated by an unknown force hidden inside the aura.

The shrouded area was like a black hole to the Elemental Perception. It forbade anyone from peeking into it.

Nevertheless, he was relieved after he heard Judges immediate feedback and the two ladies hasty response.

He turned his gaze onto Majestic Hero, who was retreating fast to avoid being locked down by the Grand Reaper.

There was at least another ten more seconds to go before Homme Fatale could be fully resurrected. In case Judge was gone, then Majestic Hero would be the next one up to delay the Grand Reaper.

***

After three suffering seconds, Violet Orchids Elemental Wave was finally ready.

The golden yellow radiance was like the sun in early spring. The spell promptly dispersed the Death Aura in front of her and revealed Judge, who was now half crouching on the ground with a shield in his hand.

Bam! Bam!

In the midst of the continuous thumping sounds, more than ten flying skulls embedded in Death Aura had leased from the Barrier and relentlessly attacked Judge, who had covered himself with a layer of shimmering silver light, from different angles.

Nonetheless, the attack by the Grand Reaper had shown little effect.

Judge was like a silver statue. He maintained the same position throughout.

The Steel Berserker withstood the attack right until the Elemental Wave was cast. Knowing the power of Radiant Priest Holy Cleansing ability, the Grand Reaper hurriedly retracted the skulls. But the Divine Specters reaction came a little too late.

Two skulls evaporated instantly after it was contaminated by the purifying aura.

The short encounter had ended with the Divine Specter at the losing end. It had lost six consecutive Demigods souls on its Barrier due to the despicable human adventurers.

The Grand Reaper decided to cease its attack against the tanky Steel Berserker. The giant skull shifted its vision slightly ahead of Judge and the greenish eyes turned into two beams of laser, which were aimed at Violet Orchid and Violetmoon Devilite.

This sudden change startled everyone at the scene.

The Grand Reaper had started to get down to business.
