Ivan's target is Alice.

At this moment, Alice was chanting spells, and the strange syllables that came out of his delicate little mouth, some strange magic, attracted the elemental energy between heaven and earth to continue to surge, like boiling water.

Illumination is a spell often used by mages, and it has been thoroughly studied. Up to now, a total of four levels have been invented, namely the fourth order, the eighth order, the twelfth order, and the sixteenth order. As the rank increases, so does the power.

Faced with the current situation, Alice immediately chose the sixteenth-order illumination technique. Ivan's strength, she sees it, if she chooses a low-level one, it is very likely that it will not be of great help to the mercenaries.

However, although the sixteenth-order spell is more powerful, the corresponding chanting time will also be longer, which means that Alice will also face greater danger.

In the darkness, there was no sound except wheezing and chanting. Even the screams that rang out every five prayer seconds didn't ring as scheduled.

An anomaly means something out of the ordinary is bound to happen.

Athena's heart was beating wildly, the pressure Ivan caused to her was too great, and if she was not careful, the mercenary group would be wiped out today.

Suddenly, a thought crossed Athena's mind.

"Alice, be careful!", Athena almost screamed.

But it was too late.

In the darkness, Alice's chanting was in its final stages, and bits of fluorescent light began to shine on her staff, revealing her position even more obviously.

In the faint fluorescence, a serpentine dagger appeared in front of Alice's eyes, and the cold light that flashed out caused large goosebumps on the skin of her whole body.

That dagger represents the killing intent to the bone, and it also represents the imminent death.

Of course, now that she has seen the danger approaching, Alice, as a powerful nineteenth-order magic sage, still has some life-saving means.

For example, at this moment, she has two scrolls in her hand, one is a seventeenth-order Tianshui shield, and the other is a nineteenth-order teleportation.

If she chooses to teleport, she will definitely be able to avoid Ivan's attack, but once she teleports out, the sixteenth-order illumination technique she is chanting now will definitely be directly disconnected, and the Divine Envoy Mercenary Group will once again be shrouded in Ivan's dark realm.

Therefore, Alice's eyes shone with a resolute gaze, and she decisively pinched the scroll of the Tianshui Shield Array.

A transparent circular film instantly appeared around Alice, rippling in the water, isolating Alice in a confined space.

In the faint light, Athena also saw Alice's choice, "Don't, Alice!"

The corners of Ivan's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and the dagger in his hand stabbed directly into the Tianshui shield blocking in front of him.

The sixteenth-order Tianshui shield may be an impregnable defense for assassins below the eighteenth order, but at this moment, it is indeed a demon god in front of Alice.

With a pop, the Tianshui shield broke in response.

After the serpentine dagger pierced the membrane formed by the elemental energy, it continued to stab forward without slowing down, and the target was Alice's unusually fair, delicate neck that could be broken by blowing.

As the serpentine dagger pressed close to the skin around Alice's neck, a piercing chill came from Alice's mouth, and Alice spat out the last note.

The staff in his hand suddenly erupted with a dazzling white light, like a blazing sun, and the eyes of everyone present were stinging as if they were about to crack.

Once a person's eyes stay in the dark for too long, and then suddenly illuminated by strong light, they will definitely experience a short period of blindness, even a god-level powerhouse like Ivan, can not avoid it.

But despite being blind, the tip of the dagger in Ivan's hand was already attached to the skin of Alice's neck, so he could kill Alice with just a swipe.

Alice already held the teleportation circle scroll in her hand, but she knew that she didn't have time to pinch and activate the circle anymore.

So, Alice's eyes were full of despair but not regret, and she said the last words of her life in the direction of Athena.

"I love you, Athens ......"

Ivan's right hand was forced, and the energy of force exploded, and the serpentine dagger cut through the delicate skin without the slightest mercy, burst into the flesh, and finally cut the throat, blocking Alice's next "Na" in her throat.

As if the water bag filled with red water had been cut, blood gushed out, instantly staining the white robe in front of Alice completely red from head to toe.

The white sun on the staff suddenly erupted, completely illuminating the dark land shrouded in Ivan's dark realm.

The eyes of all the people in the Divine Order Mercenary Group finally regained their sight at this moment, but the first thing they saw was Alice's fragrance.

Then Alice's body slowly slid to the ground, knowing that it had hit the ground, splashing large clouds of mud and sewage.

"Alice"

Athena was grief-stricken, her heart pounding as if it had been torn apart, and her temples pounding violently.

Then, Athena turned her resentful gaze to Ivan.

The duration of the Sixteenth-Order Illumination Technique was very long, so Ivan could no longer hide himself, so he put away the Dark Realm.

Because what Ivan is facing next will be a bloody battle that will never die, and the energy consumed by the domain is too large, since it is no longer effective, there is no need to continue to open it, and then consume the energy of the force in the sea of qi.

"Courage will always remain in my heart, courage will become my yardstick, forge ahead bravely, and have no regrets in my life!"

Athena slowly closed the iron mask, completely hiding her beautiful and miserable face.

"Titans, protect us. ”

Two lines of tears slowly flowed.

Athena roared, her voice hoarse.

"Kill!"

The gods made everyone in the mercenary group roar together.

"Kill!"

The knight's spears were like a forest, and Ivan was completely surrounded.

Ivan flicked his right hand and shook the blood stains on the serpentine dagger out, without any expression on his face.

"A bunch of fools. ”

Charge, forward, kill!

Athena took the lead, and the knight's spear in her hand was like a black python, and went straight to Ivan's chest.

Athena also attacked with more than twenty knight spears, completely sealing all the angles that Ivan could dodge.

Ivan's eyes froze, the dagger swept, and the Grim Reaper's scythe fantasy reappeared.

The blade of the scythe slammed into the five knight spears on the right side, and with a loud bang, the five mercenaries were directly knocked back. Ivan's blow directly broke the encirclement of the Divine Envoy Mercenary Group and opened up a space for himself to retreat.

Ivan stomped heavily on his right foot, his body moved instantly, and he directly chased after the five mercenaries who were retreating. He was extremely fast, and soon approached the five men.

The serpentine dagger swung, and two blades flew out of the dagger with the swing of Ivan's right hand, striking the bodies of the two mercenaries.

Blood flashed, and Ivan actually killed two people at the same time as breaking through the encirclement.

Although Ivan escaped from the encirclement, the people of the Divine Mercenary Group did not panic, and it would be strange if a god-level powerhouse was so easy to kill.

The purpose of their encirclement of Ivan was not to surround him on the spot, but only to limit the space in which Ivan could move and prevent him from getting out of the range of the illumination.

So even though Ivan killed the two, the other three mercenaries beside him also stood up at the same time, and then swung their knights' spears together and surrounded Ivan again. They didn't expect to hurt Ivan, they were just using their lives to win the opportunity for others to attack.

While the three mercenaries were besieging Ivan, Athena had already rushed to the vicinity, and the knight's spear in her hand burst out with a strong energy light, piercing Ivan with an unrivaled momentum, through the gap between the two mercenaries, and stabbing straight at Ivan.

Ivan only had time to sweep the dagger and kill two mercenaries, but Athena's attack was also close in front of him.

In a hurry, Ivan pulled the serpentine dagger back to his chest in an incredible arc, and then moved his fingers slightly, and actually changed the dagger from a reverse grip to a straight grip. The energy of the force in the sea of qi exploded, and Ivan directly pressed the tip of the dagger against the tip of the knight's spear stabbed by Athena.

The twenty-first order paladin faced the twenty-second order evil god, and both of them broke out with all their might.

Assassins excelled at assassination and concealment, while knights excelled at battlefield battles and powerful confrontational combat.

Under the advantages of the other, the two were evenly matched, and in the loud bang, the shock wave generated by the energy collision directly shook the two of them away.

As Athena retreated, she didn't forget to shout to the others, "Don't let him run." ”

In fact, there is no need for Athena to remind that the Divine Envoy Mercenary Group is one of the top mercenary groups on the Epic Continent, and the mercenaries in it have extremely high combat quality, and their intuition to capture combat opportunities is also extremely keen.

So while Athena and Ivan retreated, more than a dozen mercenaries who were not affected by the shock wave were all holding knight guns flat and began to charge at Ivan.

I have to say that compared to other countries, the reason why the Titan Empire can be called the country of knights is precisely because these knights are adhering to the spirit of not fearing death, even in the face of enemies who are several ranks higher than themselves, they dare to charge.

After Athena stabilized her figure, she spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then, without waiting for breathing, she once again took the knight's spear and attacked Ivan again at great speed.

Athena was slightly injured in this attack, but Ivan used his weakness to fight against her strengths, and he was also slightly injured, but he was strong and forcibly suppressed his own injuries so that he would not vomit blood on the spot.

In fact, in this battle, the focus is on the duel between Athena and Ivan, and the role of the rest of the mercenaries is to delay Ivan's pace, and at the same time use their precious lives to fill the gap between Athena and Ivan.

So this battle is destined to be bloody and tragic.

With the successive deaths of the mercenaries, Ivan finally couldn't suppress his injuries after the fifth confrontation with Athena, and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the battlefield at this moment also shifted more than 100 meters from the original battlefield, and finally reached the edge of the illumination technique.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ivan was finally moved, he realized that if he continued like this, the number of people who survived the mercenary group would never exceed three, but he would definitely die in such continuous attrition and entanglement.

So, after once again carrying Athena's blow, Ivan took advantage of retreating and finally withdrew from the range of illumination, and then he used his last remaining energy to open the dark realm again.

A god-level powerhouse, besieged by more than thirty knights, finally left a corpse in one place, and then fled.

Looking at Ivan's distant figure, everyone in the Divine Envoy Mercenary Group was also at the end of the crossbow, and they had no strength left to continue chasing.

Athena also insisted on the last trace of thought, and after Ivan fled, she also collapsed on the ground and passed out.
