Now that both parties' hostile intentions were confirmed, there was no point in talking to each other. After all, the old man, who seemed like the high priest of the Ti Xiaer Church, would certainly not let go of Punk, a heretic who committed blasphemy against their goddess. On the other hand, Punk came here to obtain the notes of Elenka's grandfather, in other words, the high priest in front of him. Now that he also found the incomparably precious master-level robe, he would not back down easily.
Although Punk now had some doubts about why the enemy, as a devout high priest, did not have any priest levels and only had mage levels, but in the face of an upcoming battle, this doubt was temporarily pushed to the back of his mind.
It seemed that the first person who lost his patience was the high priest who was still standing on the rock wall vertically. Punk saw that the high priest's eyes suddenly exploded with a violent flame, and in less than a second, he cast a spell.
"Die…"
With the high priest's roar, a compressed fireball was shot towards Punk. It was a standard Official-level elemental energy spell - Fireball, creating a fireball that would explode upon hitting the enemy.
"It looks like the other guy is an Elemental mage!"
Facing the fireball attack from the enemy, Punk calmly analyzed the information of the high priest, then used a kinetic energy burst and hit the fireball in midair.
"Boom!!!"
Two explosive spells collided in midair, and the violent shock wave and sound reverberated through the entire cave. The blasted flames splashed everywhere, and the remaining residues of the kinetic burst explosion created cracks on the ground.
"Hēaaaaaa!"
Just as the two spells collided in the air, No. 1 roared loudly and rushed toward the enemy. The lingering abyssal aura on its claws created a blood-red glowing afterimage in the air.
The high priest's face became even more twisted as he noticed No. 1 rushing towards him, and he began to swear loudly. But at the same time, he also quickly cast the spell that he had just completed.
"Take this!"
A red light lit up beside the high priest, and a magic formation made with burning runes emerged from the empty air. Just as No. 1 approached the high priest, a fast, slender elemental creature came out of the magic formation and stood in front of No. 1, completely blocking the way.
This was one of the Official-level summoning Spell which could summon a fire elemental for five minutes.
Although the Flesh Golem had fire resistance, and Punk was not afraid of it facing the fire elemental, still, under the control of the high priest, the fire element was like a lover embracing No. 1 after a long separation. Because of this, the high-temperature flame immediately spread to the Flesh Golem's whole body.
"Do you think I can't do the same because I already have a golem?"
Punk mumbled to himself, and then a summoning formation also appeared on the ground in front of him. It was another official-level summoning spell that summoned three powerful evil tigers for three minutes, and these tigers could perform combination attacks.
"Roar!!"
Accompanied by a few terrifying roars, three black tigers jumped out of the summoning formation and rushed toward the high priest.
At the same time, Punk also used three rounds of "kinetic energy burst" to completely block the retreat of the high priest. Now, if the high priest chose not to move, he had to face the combination attack of the three evil tigers. And once he was entangled by the evil tigers, he would be completely suppressed by Punk's barrage of spells. But if he chose to retreat, then he had to deal with the three "kinetic energy bursts" first, which would obviously delay him. By then, the three tigers would have already begun their harassment.
A dilemma was placed before the high priest, and this choice could not be delayed!
"Huu…Huu…"
Punk breathed heavily. It was still too hard for him to cast four spells in less than two seconds. If it weren't for the help of the system, the last kinetic energy burst almost failed.
However, such an all-out attack was worth it, as now he successfully gained a slight edge in this battle.
"Son of a bitch, I will sacrifice your meat piece by piece to the great goddess. "
Facing the attack of the three evil tigers, the high priest did not show any fear. He still screamed loudly and then tore open a shell on the back of his lower spider body.
"Hehe...haha... hahaha."
After the shell was torn apart from his body, green runes came together and formed a formation that started to shine on the lower half of the high priest's withered spider body. From inside the dozens of circular runes, manically smiling faces emerged. These hazy ghost faces rushed out of the high priest and formed a slender chain exuding strange dark green energy while dancing wildly in midair.
The crazy laughter of these ghost faces sounded terrifying in this gloomy cave.
"The loyal believers of Goddess Ti Xiaer, it is time to prove your loyalty and give your everything to purify the evil heretic who disrespected our great goddess."
The chains floating in the air flew towards the three evil tigers without hesitation after the high priest's speech.
"Don't even think about it."
Seeing these weird faces forming a chain, Punk immediately thought of the dark green spider that he had fought outside the iron gate. At that time, the souls of those crazy believers also sprang from the dark green spiders and formed a dark green chain and even managed to forcefully drag No.1, who was at its peak strength.
So knowing that if these chains were allowed to entangle the three evil tigers, then his summons would be in vain, Punk immediately took action.
"You want to use the same twice against the same enemy?"
Punk didn't hesitate to use one of the countermeasures he had prepared long before he broke into the inner room.
After hastily completing a spell chant, a translucent Purple-colored ball appeared in the air and flew toward the ghost chain. It was an official-level Incantation spell - Kinetic Energy Stagnation, which could create a domain that makes all kinetic energy pause for ten seconds.
As soon as the high priest released these dozens of weird ghosts, Punk knew that these ghosts would not be easy to deal with. After all, he had already seen them in action once, where an official-level creature was forcefully restrained. So Punk planned to temporarily delay their action so that the three tigers could deal some damage to the high priest.
"Don't even think about it!"
The high priest's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he growled loudly. Although he was crazy, he was not stupid. With his abundant battle experience, he easily saw through Punk's intention.
"Loyal servants of the goddess Ti Xiaer, quickly stop that spell."
With the order of the high priest, a section of dark green chain immediately changed back to more than ten ghost faces. Then these ghosts begun to burn like dry woods and turned into a burning green fireball and rushed toward the purple ball.
"Kinetic Energy Stagnation" was an auxiliary spell, so it could not withstand such a powerful attack and was successfully intercepted midway and burst out in a spherical domain covering an area of about ten cubic meters in midair. All the moving things in the purple field suddenly stopped as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"Haha, too naïve. Now pray to the great Goddess Ti Xiaer for redemption."
Seeing the "Kinetic energy stagnation" bursting out in the air, the high priest began to laugh strangely. The dark green chain had already tied up the three tigers tightly. And at the same time, the high priest, who was laughing wildly, released dozens of blazing fireballs from his hand. These fireballs, which were not very powerful individually, didn't fly toward Punk; instead, these fireballs went to the area affected by the Kinetic energy stagnation in the air.
One by one, all of the fireballs entered the domain of "kinetic energy stagnation" and became halted in midair.
Now, dozens of fireballs exuding high temperature were hanging in the air.
Seeing this situation and imagining the result after the effect of the"kinetic energy stagnation" was ended, Punk sucked a breath of cold air.
He was now in an extremely tricky situation…
"Damn it"
Seeing that he was tricked by the enemy, Punk cursed secretly in his heart.
After all, when he appeared here, the enemy immediately knew that he had defeated the dark green spider outside. So the enemy should have also figured out that he had the means to deal with the soul chain. But seeing the High priest acting all crazy, he thought that the enemy must have released the soul chain impulsively and let his guard down; as a result, now he had to counter his own spell...
"Too inexperienced. I was actually deceived by this guy's madness!"
"But now"
Punk looked at the fireballs in the midair and began to think of an effective response. Otherwise, as soon as the "kinetic energy stagnation's" effect ended, there was a high chance he would be seriously injured.
