Chapter 787: Stathamâs Determination
Statham didnât expect that Shane still had such a powerful figure that could fight him one-on-one.
Before coming here, he had already absorbed more than a hundred Survivors at level 40 or more. Furthermore, his Vampire Knights were also high-level Survivors before.
He even found a small cult of scavengers doing some strange rituals and turned them all into vampiresâŠ
However, for some reason, Shaneâs advancement was simply too fastâŠ
One of his shelters, called New Genesis, was even filled with Mech Frames and was quite literally impossible to attack, no matter how brave he was.
Still, he believed that this Eclipse Domain would be as well protected as the New Genesis Shelter.
Unfortunately, he was very wrongâŠ
***
Ayaâs breathing was ragged as she used a lot of Talismans just nowâŠ
It uses her Spirit Points with each activation after all.
If not for the Spirit Stones, the Spirit Recovery Potions she had, including her blessing that allowed her to cut the Spirit Consumption in half, sheâd never be able to pull that off.
Still, the battle wasnât over just yet.
The Shelter Crystal Core pulsed steadily behind her, and she noticed how Statham landed a few blood knives on it.
However, it was all blocked by a Barrier Talisman.
Apparently, while fighting against her, Statham still had the time to attack the Shelter CrystalâŠ
âHmphâŠâ
Aya then absorbed another high-tier Spirit Stone to refill her Spiritual Energy.
Statham staggered forward, and this time, he no longer looked arrogantâŠ
His eyes, however, were still filled with malice.
âYou⊠little girlâŠâ Statham uttered as he slowly regenerated. âDo you really think paper and ink can kill me?â
Aya then pressed two bloodied fingers together in front of her chest. She was preparing for another powerful move.
âIt doesnât matter what you think. What matters is⊠this is where you end.â
This time, she was willing to use her life essence to end this battle!
She had no idea how much more damage Statham could take.
So she had to end this before she collapsed!
Just like that, she triggered another handful of talismans hanging within the chamberâŠ
Statham had no idea what kind of Talisman was activated this time, but he knew that it was not good for himâŠ
âThunder JudgmentâŠâ Aya muttered as she triggered dozens of Lightning Talismans at once. Soon, bolts of electricity shot through Stathamâs body again.
The entire chamber shook from the force it released.
Statham cried in pain as his flesh split open under the assault of the lightning arcs. Even his body started jerking violently with every strike.
Still, he refused to fall.
With a roar, he tore through the lightning with his charred arm, and he was still charging forward!
Aya, even after weakening due to Spiritual Energy exhaustion, used her life essence and slammed a Shield Talisman into the floor.
Whom~
A dome of blue energy activated just as his claw collided!
Bang!
It sent shockwaves across the chamber.
âDie, little shaman!â Statham was determined as he continued to use brute force!
The shield cracked under the pressure, and Ayaâs knees buckled⊠At this time, blood started dripping from her nose.
She was already reaching her limit!
âFall already!â she screamed, slapping another Fireball Talisman onto his chest.
The explosive talisman lit up instantly!
BOOM!
Just like that, a ball of blame engulfed him, throwing the Vampire Lord across the wall!
The blast created black gashes in the floor as smoke and burning embers filled the room.
From within the fire, Stathamâs laughter echoedâŠ
âI⊠am eternalâŠâ
He seemed mad⊠However, Aya wasnât finished.
Her hands moved quickly as she took out another paper talisman.
This talisman was made from the World Tree, and it was thicker compared to others.
âYou are notâŠâ Aya said in her mind.
What she had right now was a special talisman and had no other copies!
It was a talisman that was created to burn or eliminate a Zombie LordâŠ
She pressed it to the ground and activated it⊠âHeavenly Purge!â
Suddenly, every remaining talisman hanging on strings above the Core activated all at onceâŠ
The air vibrated with raw spiritual force as thousands of Talisman Papers lifted and created a vortex of mysterious energy.
âYouââ
Statham wanted to split into multiple bats or even use Blood Mist none of it worked!
He just raised his arms in desperation as he couldnât do anything else!
âNoâNO!â
The light crashed into him, piercing his entire body!
Just like that, Statham twisted and then dissolved into ash.
Not a drop of blood remained. Not even dust!
Aya collapsed to her knees as she used all her strength just nowâŠ
âShane⊠Iâm expecting a reward for this. One modified Aegis Frame should be enough for that.â Aya muttered to herself, as she already knew what reward sheâd ask.
She actually tried piloting the humanoid machine, but her height wasnât ideal as a pilot. She couldnât reach certain components she needed to make it work.
However, with Stathamâs elimination, she believed that she deserved a reward!
Her entire supply of talismans was gone⊠It was her work for more than half a year, and that was not easy to rebuild.
Still, Aya smiled as she looked at the Shelter Crystal.
It was unharmed and was still protecting the entire shelter.
In the meantime, just outside the chamber, the vampires who had been clawing at the barrier suddenly shrieked in terror.
Their masterâs presence had vanished. Their morale was shattered, and one by one, they retreated into the shadows, abandoning their siege.
Apparently, even the other Statham who had been locked in a combat with Shinja had also been defeatedâŠ
Shinja wasnât in good condition either, but thankfully, several powerful figures assisted him in timeâŠ
They were Otto, the Fire Magician, Zephyrion, the Necromancer, and Sol the GhostcallerâŠ
With their assistance, the other Statham was defeatedâŠ
âI want my own Juggernaut Mech once Lord Shane returned.â Shinja muttered to himself as he lay down on the ground.
