Chapter 550 - 295: Divine Projection

At this moment, a blue pillar of light burst forth from the center of the plaza below, shooting straight into the sky.

White Mann glanced at it and immediately thought of something, turning to float downward.

Unlike the ’indifferent’ attitude Raine held when he just reached the top floor—’from White Mann’s perspective at the time, he could solve this ’ant’ in a short time, then go downstairs to join forces with the ’Unclean’ Hagen to deal with Leonore, thereby securing victory.’

Not to mention that Raine, this ’ant,’ in his heart has already turned into an ’elephant.’

As time passed, the battlefield below also began to develop in a manner unfavorable to him.

Because in his absence, one-on-one, the ’Unclean’ Hagen’s strength was still a bit inferior to Leonore.

Now, his idea is—’go down and immediately join forces with Hagen, thus forming a synergy greater than its parts, to reverse the situation.’

Plaza below.

Having just finished chanting a spell and blasted out a Water Flow Impact to push back Hagen, Leonore slightly raised her head and immediately noticed the figure in a black robe drifting down from the sky.

With those deep lake-blue eyes, she only glanced at the figure, and her dignified and beautiful face instantly became solemn.

But then, when she saw the familiar figure holding a hammer also following down, her thin eyebrows twitched, and her expression instantly turned joyful.

’Oh? Is he chasing White Mann in battle?’

’Obviously, if this is truly the case, then it shows Raine has the upper hand in the battle against White Mann.’

This thought flashed through her mind.

Although Leonore still found it somewhat hard to believe, the facts were right in front of her.

Across from her.

Wielding a Two-Handed Greatsword emitting a dense black light, the ’Unclean’ Hagen shattered the whirlpool of water with a single strike and witnessed the scene above, causing a thoughtful expression to appear on his face, seemingly wanting to know what was happening.

At this moment, he heard White Mann’s voice from above:

"Hagen, pay attention to the young man."

Oh?

The ’Unclean’ Hagen’s gaze instantly focused on the young man holding a hammer chasing behind White Mann.

The young man suddenly hurled the Warhammer in his hand.

"Dark Shelter!"

Hagen immediately raised his right hand!

A spherical black shield rapidly detached from him, enveloping White Mann like a flash.

The Warhammer, like a silver comet, immediately collided with the black shield.

"Clang!"

The sound was akin to the clashing of metal!

The opponent managed to use this move ’Dark Shelter’ to directly withstand Raine’s nearly full-power Combat Skill ’Hammer of Anger.’

"Be careful, come back first."

Seeing Raine continuing to chase, Leonore communicated telepathically.

At this moment, White Mann lightly landed behind the ’Unclean’ Hagen, a slight smile on his face as he looked at Raine.

Raine, hearing the reminder, quickly abandoned the chase and similarly landed softly on the ground, standing beside Eldest Princess Leonore.

"This is the special Class Skill of the Fallen Paladin, Dark Shelter, it can nearly completely block physical attacks."

"It cannot be dispelled; it only disappears naturally after its energy exhausts in about ten seconds."

Listening to Leonore’s explanation, Raine understood why he was told not to chase, meanwhile, his heart settled slightly.

"Just now, I saw Jora seem to go up to the third floor, didn’t he ambush you?"

"I killed him."

"Killed him?"

Leonore’s lake-blue eyes widened suddenly, surprised she looked at Raine.

She knew all too well the difficulty of killing an assassin-skilled transcendent mid-level Wanderer under the threat of the ’Plaguebringer’ White Mann!

Normally, being able to withstand attacks from the ’Plaguebringer’ White Mann was already quite impressive.

But still managing to kill Jora... In Leonore’s view, there were at least two difficulty levels separating the two feats!

"But Viscount Olsen... was unfortunately sacrificed."

"Viscount he..."

Leonore was momentarily silent.

She somewhat understood why Raine, having killed Nightmare Blade Jora, showed no trace of joy on his face, but instead, like a fierce tiger, glared intently at White Mann.

Meanwhile on the opposite side, White Mann’s lips moved slightly, seemingly saying something to the ’Unclean’ Hagen.

Hagen’s gaze became interestedly fixed on Raine: "Interesting."

"Help me ward off Leonore’s Magic attacks, I need some time to cast Madness of Darkness." As White Mann spoke, he swiftly cast two evidently buff-type spells on Hagen.

The ’Unclean’ Hagen’s physique visibly grew stronger, and a black shield swirled around his body.

"Alright!"

To White Mann’s words, Hagen nodded immediately.

And just then.

Both Raine and Leonore saw and felt the dense spherical Erosion Energy rapidly gathering before White Mann, its intense fluctuations even causing the air to ripple!

"Not good! It’s the eighth-circle spell Madness of Darkness!" Leonore’s usual calm and steady tone turned urgent.

"Raine, find a way to pin down the ’Unclean’ Hagen, I need to interrupt White Mann’s spellcasting."

Although he didn’t know the exact effects of Madness of Darkness, for it to make Leonore treat it as a major threat, clearly, this spell’s effects could be extremely harmful.

Swoosh!

Raine immediately charged at Hagen with a Barbaric Charge, while telepathically communicating with Meredith.
