Chapter 511 Lasting Night Caracal Cat <TOC> Chapter 513 The Shepherd God Family

The fire blazed fiercely, but the surrounding seawater remained calm. This otherworldly flame, which defied all obstacles, rushed towards the two people facing it.
Boom!
A massive explosion, the water dragon shattered, and the white waves splashed. As the foam and mist gradually dissipated, the situation behind them became clearer.
A long-handled scythe had blocked the flames. Carvelyn and Sunisha, standing behind the scythe, were unharmed.
The long-handled scythe seemed to appear out of nowhere, standing right in front of them.
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. Behind the scythe that stood out of thin air, a figure slowly emerged.
A bony hand holding a scythe, tattered gray robes, and a hood filled with murky water as the current swept through it, revealing a face beneath the hood… It was a skeleton adorned with golden patterns.
This suddenly appearing skeleton wielding a scythe was like a harvester from hell, easily neutralizing all the Netherfire with a simple swing.
“Combine a wisp of Burning Bone and Rhino Smoke, and invite the Grim Reaper to the feast,” Sunisha said solemnly, spreading her hands. At the same time, wisps of smoke that did not dissolve in water emanated from her palms. Fragments of several unique ingredients fell from her fingers, carried away by the tide to unknown places.
As Sunisha recited her incantation, the smoke drifted into the nostrils of the Reaper Skeleton.
Amidst the swirling smoke, the skeleton underwent a transformation!
In the pitch-black eye sockets, two deep green flames ignited. Then, a voice that seemed to come from the depths of the soul said with an echoing tone: “I came to the feast, thank you for the hospitality.”
“Attend my feast, and naturally, I must provide for you,” Sunisha paused, a cold light flashing in her eyes as she pointed: “I want you to kill them!”
“As you wish.” The green fire in the eyes of the Reaper Skeleton blazed fiercely as it swung its scythe and attacked the others.
Cherie stepped forward without hesitation and engaged in battle with the skeleton. After several exchanges, neither side gained the upper hand.
Cherie sneered: “A mere skeleton from the Netherworld dares to call itself the Grim Reaper? As if you could turn the world upside down with mere words!”
Despite her saying so, Cherie’s expression was tinged with seriousness. The Source Fire of the Netherworld had been consumed, making it difficult to rely on the remaining Netherfire to fight against a Death spirit of the Netherworld. Even if, as she said, it was only a skeleton from the Netherworld, it could still come into contact with Netherfire every day and had a natural resistance to it. The fact that it could wield the scythe of a Death God showed that it was not far from becoming one.
A Death God from the Netherworld had at least the combat power of a wizard. A Reaper Skeleton was definitely comparable to a third level apprentice. Cherie would not fear an ordinary third level apprentice, but the enemy’s attributes naturally countered her.
“An Apprentice Reaper is still a Reaper,” Sunisha laughed gently, speaking to Cherie but keeping a watchful eye on Angel.
Angel and Coral did not join the battle; at the same time, Carvelyn merely stood in front of Sunisha. However, her longsword was casually pointed across, locking onto Angel with an imposing presence.
For both Carvelyn and Sunisha, their main concern was Angel’s movements. Recalling Angel’s heroic actions in the lava zone, they were unsure if they could fully withstand it.
Cherie continued to battle the Reaper Skeleton, and after several clashes, the outcome remained undecided. Although the Reaper Skeleton didn’t possess many long-range attacks, its resistance to Netherfire directly nullified Cherie’s Netherfire tricks.
Unable to defeat it after a long time, Coral entered the fray, leading a massive creature to charge at the Reaper Skeleton.
At Coral’s entrance, Sunisha merely lowered her eyebrows, taking a wisp of smoke into her hand and slowly dispersing it into the Reaper Skeleton’s nostrils.
In an instant, the Reaper Skeleton grew larger.
Cherie’s eyes turned cold as she summoned countless Netherfires once more, but this time, she didn’t target the Reaper Skeleton. Instead, she aimed all her flames at Sunisha. If she couldn’t kill the Reaper Skeleton, she would kill its summoner!
Cherie’s Netherfire dispersed in all directions. The Reaper Skeleton saw this and immediately tried to escape and rush over.
Coral’s eyes narrowed slightly, not allowing it to succeed. She stood on a large creature’s shoulder, dancing an unknown ritual dance, and the creature danced along, slapping the water’s surface vigorously.
The barbarian talent, Stomp, was utilized by Coral in the water. With a special spell, the endless waters surrounding them began to rotate rapidly around the creature.
“Barbarian Stomp modification, Deepwater Vortex,” Coral muttered incantations.
Spells were never limited to fixed usage. By granting the power of Stomp to her hands and slightly changing the movements, Coral created the “Deepwater Vortex.” The versatility of spells was at her fingertips.
The coverage of the Deepwater Vortex was extensive, and even Angel and Cherie had to retreat a step to avoid being accidentally caught in the whirlpool and hurting their allies.
However, the Reaper Skeleton was from the Netherworld, and in addition to its resistance to Netherfire, it could also transform into a spirit form. As it entered the Deepwater Vortex, it ignored the physical attacks, turning its body semi-transparent and charging fiercely at Sunisha, trying to block the Netherfire.
The Reaper Skeleton broke through Coral’s defensive line, but Cherie was no pushover.
Suddenly, Cherie’s figure enlarged, her delicate girl’s body transformed into a half-beast form. Her muscles bulged, and her originally fair legs under her skirt turned into furry beast legs. The red dancing shoes became red claws.
“Redclaw Harvester.” Carvelyn looked at Cherie’s half-beast state, her eyes filled with seriousness.
The Redclaw Harvester bloodline is a bloodline that comprehensively enhances speed, and its bloodline talents are almost all related to reaction speed.
This time, Cherie not only activated her bloodline but also directly used her maximum half-beast state. Apparently, she felt that it was difficult to block the Reaper Skeleton with agility alone. When she transformed into a half-beast, her overall abilities were amplified, allowing her to withstand the Reaper Skeleton.
As she predicted, when she transformed into a half-beast, she managed to block the Reaper Skeleton halfway.
The Reaper Skeleton swung its scythe, unable to hit the faster Cherie while being pushed back by Cherie’s energy-infused attacks.
With no Reaper Skeleton to block them, the endless Netherfire surrounded Sunisha and Carvelyn’s escape routes. The dark flames completely engulfed them under Sunisha’s worried gaze.
“Is it over?” Coral asked nervously.
Whoosh
Suddenly, an attack with great force burst out of the raging flames, heading towards Cherie.
With her full bloodline activated, Cherie’s reaction speed was incredibly fast. She dodged the attack before it even came close to her.
At this moment, the flames gradually extinguished, revealing the scene inside.
Sparks flew, and the waves rolled. The first thing Cherie saw was a giant scythe and tattered black robe…
“Another Reaper Skeleton?” Cherie frowned: “No, it’s actually… Carvelyn?”
Wearing a black robe and holding a scythe, Carvelyn stood in front of Sunisha. With a wave of her hand, the Netherfire was completely dispersed.
“Robe of the Grim Reaper,” Carvelyn said indifferently: “there is no need to struggle, none of your methods will work against me.”
Seeing Carvelyn transform from her blue armor dress to a Grim Reaper robe, Cherie was taken aback: “Shepherd God Outer Garb? You’re the owner of the Shepherd God Divine Outfit?”
Carvelyn did not answer, but her attitude seemed to confirm it.
The Shepherd God Outer Garb could change its appearance at will, and after changing, it would inherit the abilities of the attire based on the wearer’s power.
That is to say, now that Carvelyn has transformed into the Robe of the Grim Reaper, all her strength has turned into the power of the Grim Reaper!
As Cherie was astonished by the Divine Outfit, the Reaper Skeleton didn’t hesitate. Its eyes ignited with ghostly flames, and the shadow of the scythe surrounded Cherie, seemingly preparing for a final kill!
“Cherie! Be careful!”
Coral’s shout brought Cherie back to her senses. However, it was too late; the Reaper Skeleton… or the Apprentice Reaper’s strongest attack, the Reaper Barrier, had surrounded Cherie!
Beneath the Reaper Barrier, Cherie’s eyes seemed lost in a daze.
She had been careless! Seeing the Shepherd God Outer Garb, she had been so surprised that she didn’t notice the approaching Reaper Skeleton entering a spirit form, silently coming close for a sneak attack. Even with her quick reflexes, she couldn’t escape from being trapped by the Reaper Barrier.
Just as Cherie was about to take the hit, a sudden current rushed over.
The sound of the current carried the nodes of an auditory illusion, flowing with the waves. In an instant, a white mist spread, obscuring everyone’s vision.
“Auditory Illusion! Damn it, Angel has made a move!” For the first time, Sunisha moved, retreating repeatedly, while Carvelyn rushed out as well.
She had been holding back to guard against Angel. But in the end, when Cherie was careless, she too let her guard down. As her attention was drawn by the Reaper Barrier, Angel finally made her move!
“Want to save her? No way!” As Carvelyn charged forward, her clothes suddenly transformed into a transparent, shimmering, multicolored butterfly wing dress – Illusionary Butterfly Garb!
As the Illusionary Butterfly appeared, its graceful wings shattered the nodes of the Auditory Illusion. The white mist had barely risen before it vanished.
However, as the illusion shattered, Carvelyn didn’t see Angel or Cherie in the illusion. Only the Reaper Skeleton stood dumbfoundedly in place!
Carvelyn turned around and saw that Angel and Cherie were already hundreds of meters away, leisurely watching her actions.
Curiosity filled Angel’s eyes as she made some guesses about Carvelyn’s new outfit.
Feeling a mix of shame and anger, Carvelyn thought that Angel’s gaze was a provocation and… disdain.
Angel was incredibly fast, even faster than a nimble Redclaw Harvester using its bloodline talent! It was almost as if he teleported. Carvelyn, who considered herself fast, had charged out as soon as the white mist covered Cherie. In just a second or two, she had transformed into the Illusionary Butterfly and dispelled the illusion.
But it was of no use.
By the time the white mist vanished – a mere two seconds – Angel had already moved hundreds of meters away. His speed couldn’t even be described as leaving others in the dust.
“You…” Carvelyn, filled with anger, was about to say some harsh words.
At that moment, she suddenly heard a few crisp sounds behind her. At the same time, Sunisha let out a miserable cry. Carvelyn quickly turned around to see Sunisha bent over, covering her mouth, as blood continuously flowed from between her fingers.
Sunisha was attacked? When did that happen? Carvelyn rushed towards Sunisha with an anxious expression on her face.
However, as she passed by the Reaper Skeleton, a surge of water she stirred up caused the dazed floating skeleton to instantly emit a crisp “crack” sound.
Accompanied by the “crack” sound, the Reaper Skeleton shattered from its cranium to its feet under the astonished gazes of Carvelyn and Sunisha.
Finally, with a loud bang, it crumbled into broken bones.
The black scythe in front of it, however, slowly vanished and returned to the Netherworld.
“The Reaper Skeleton is dead?” Carvelyn turned her head to look at Angel, who seemed to be completely unaware and smiled at her with a nod.
A chill ran down Carvelyn’s spine.
Was it him who killed it?
But when did he kill the Reaper Skeleton? Angel only made contact for a moment and then immediately retreated with Cherie.
Carvelyn couldn’t believe her own speculation. Did it really happen in that instant? Not only did he take Cherie hundreds of meters away, but even the Reaper Skeleton was shattered by him?
“It broke with just a gentle pat; it couldn’t withstand a single strike,” Angel said with a grin.
