"That good-for-nothing Raven actually said you were just ordinary mercenaries!"
A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by ruthlessness: "Fine—we'll interrogate you slowly after we take you down. If all else fails—we'll just have to open the door early."
Just then, the countless faces on the Thousand-Faced Wraith simultaneously opened their mouths, letting out a silent howl that pierced the very depths of the soul.
Group Fear
An invisible mental storm swept in.
Apart from Maya, who was protected by the Titan's power after the divine descent was initiated, and Olivia, who was a dragon with an extremely powerful soul, only paused slightly.
Li Ang, Helena, Ludick, and even some of the spectators who had not yet been completely swayed felt a primal fear grip their hearts. Their movements froze instantly, their faces turned pale, and they almost wanted to turn and run away.
"Courage Stigmata, Unleash!" Sensing her teammates' predicament, Maya activated the dark gold stigmata on the back of her left hand without hesitation.
A surge of immense dark golden Titan power erupted from her center. She slammed her warhammer to the ground, and with her free left hand, a battle banner formed purely of dark golden light appeared out of thin air in her hand, fluttering in the wind.
[The Banner of Courage]!
Maya forcefully planted the banner of light into the ground beneath her feet.
"Buzz!"
A dark golden halo rapidly expanded from the battle flag, instantly enveloping the entire battle area.
The warm, steadfast, and fearless energy dispelled the chilling fear, and the suffocating sense of dread receded like the tide.
Just as the brilliance of the battle flag dispelled fear and stabilized morale, an unexpected change occurred.
The face on the Thousand-Faced Wraith's chest, twisted with extreme rage, suddenly bulged out, emitting a silent shriek.
【A Thousand Faces of Lamentation - Wrathful Face】!
A scorching mental shock, like an invisible wave of flames, surged toward Maya.
However, upon contact with the dark golden aura emanating from the Banner of Courage, this spiritual flame dissipated instantly, like waves crashing against rocks.
Annihilation.
This spiritual flame had no effect on Maya and the people under her aura. Maya did not even pause, and her warhammer, glowing with silver light, continued to smash the vengeful spirit.
"Damn Titan's Gift!" Loki cursed under his breath.
"Foolish! How could such lowly psychological tricks sway the courage of the Titans?"
Maya let out a cold shout, and her warhammer slammed heavily onto the vengeful spirit's raised arm, instantly sending black energy flying everywhere.
Loki frowned slightly, but remained calm, muttering, "Mental attacks are ineffective—then let's crush them with more direct force!"
The Thousand-Faced Wraith let out a roar mixed with countless wails, and the pitch-black resentment around it suddenly materialized, condensing into countless sharp, bone-like [Wraith Skeleton Spikes].
Bone spurs shot out indiscriminately in all directions like a torrential rain. These bone spurs not only had strong physical penetrating power, but their tips were also surrounded by corrosive negative energy. Once hit, the wound would be eroded by the negative energy and thus quickly fester.
【Radiant Shield】! Maya planted the shield of light into the ground, and instantly the silver light surged, transforming into a huge barrier that blocked most of the bone spikes that were aimed at her and her teammates behind her. The bone spikes struck the shield surface with a dense "thud" sound, and were then purified by the silver light.
Olivia, also in the front row, relied on her powerful physique and speed after transforming into a half-dragon to either smash the incoming bone spikes with her claws or sweep away the bone spikes shot at her with her dragon tail.
Even if a few bone spikes occasionally slip through and hit her scales, they are only deflected after making a metallic clanging sound.
Even bone spurs capable of splitting gold and shattering stone could only leave faint white marks on Olivia's scales.
Seeing that the bone spurs were useless, the five distorted faces on the back of the vengeful spirit suddenly rippled like water, instantly replicating the appearances of Li Ang and the others.
As soon as these five clones were formed, they separated from the Thousand-Faced Wraith's original body.
[Copy Leon] swung his wand, and a [Storm Sword] slashed fiercely at Maya's flank, who was maintaining her defense, attempting to disrupt her defense.
【Copy Helena】then used 【Water Binding】, targeting Olivia's feet which were moving nimbly.
[Copy Rudik] then began casting [Flash] to distract Leon and the others.
However, replication has its limits. Faced with the divine power of the Titans surging around Maya, the vengeful spirit's attempt to replicate her resulted in nothing more than a hollow silver shell.
This clone of Sandra Maya moved sluggishly and posed almost no threat. Maya easily smashed it into black smoke with a single hammer blow.
Faced with Olivia, whose life level was extremely high, the vengeful spirit created a ridiculous and distorted illusion, which was disdainfully swept away by the original spirit with a single tail.
While [Copy Li Ang] can skillfully use low-level spells commonly used by Li Ang, such as [Storm Sword] and [Wind Blade], and its attack patterns also carry some of Li Ang's calmness and precision, it cannot replicate Li Ang's self-created spells and the abilities brought by various equipment.
Li Ang activated the Ring of Foresight, then annihilated it with a more refined and faster [Storm Sword].
After the three clones were quickly eliminated, the remaining two clones were also dealt with by Li Ang and others.
These clones posed no threat and were quickly dealt with.
However, their presence did briefly distract everyone and disrupt the attack rhythm of Li Ang and the others.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Thousand-Faced Wraith finally completed the accumulation of its power.
All the faces on the Thousand-Faced Wraith stopped wailing at the same time, becoming deathly silent, and the black aura in the center of its body contracted inward like a vortex.
[Negative energy outburst!]
"Retreat and concentrate your defenses!" Li Ang shouted as he activated the [Gentle Breeze Barrier].
Without hesitation, Maya slammed the Shield of Light heavily into the ground, causing its silvery radiance to surge and form a massive shield in front of everyone.
"Boom!" A black, ring-shaped shockwave, mixed with countless painful roars, erupted violently from the vengeful spirit's center!
After blocking most of the damage, Li Ang's [Gentle Breeze Barrier] finally shattered under the strain.
Fortunately, Maya's [Radiant Shield] stepped in in time, and the two of them managed to block the attack together.
"Now!" Li Ang endured the chaos of his magic after the spell was broken. With the help of the Ring of Foresight, he seized the brief opening after the vengeful spirit unleashed its ultimate attack.
"Olivia, press the attack head-on! Maya, prepare for a full-scale assault!"
Olivia let out a long howl and pounced again, her dragon claws attacking with a ferocious, tearing-everything force, forcing the vengeful spirit to focus most of its attention on defending against her fierce blows.
Maya then gathered all her strength and delivered a powerful blow to the Thousand-Faced Wraith's exposed chest, which had been exposed while blocking Olivia's attack.
