I have a Synthesizer
#172 - Lilith
On the other side of the battlefield, Jason's undead summons had already reached the front of the group. Although there were only five, they began to form a pentagonal formation, encircling everyone.
Lilith and the others looked at the skeletal knight and skeletal mage not far away, their expressions grave. They understood what Klein meant by danger before he left.
“Fourth-order creatures!”
Not only her, but even Lance frowned. The gap in ranks was not something that could be compensated for with pure strength. Moreover, rank itself was the hardest strength.
It was difficult for everyone to clearly define how strong a second-order expert was; Klein was just an outlier. But fourth-order summons, even the weakest, were stronger than the strongest second-order.
Joe, standing to the side, looked at the fourth-order skeletal mage, hesitated for a moment, and said,
“I can try to hold one back, but I estimate I’m not its match.”
Lilith looked at Shadow Three, who, after killing several bone-eating beasts, said in a hoarse voice,
“It’s not just these five fourth-order creatures; we can’t deal with the bone-eating beast swarm either. Haven't you noticed there are more and more of them?
Even if we can handle these undead creatures, we can’t deal with these bone-eating beasts.
Therefore, I don’t recommend engaging them. We should conserve our strength and break through. That’s the only chance.”
Lilith didn't say anything because what Shadow Three said wasn't the answer she wanted.
“If we run away at this time, few will survive.”
Shadow Three looked at Lilith and finally could only say:
“Alright, I can hold one back too, but only hold it back.”
Lilith nodded and looked at Lance again.
“Mr. Allen, what about you?”
Lance looked at Lilith, understanding her meaning. Lilith was asking how many he could handle without revealing his full strength.
He had cultivated a good identity and image in this battle, or at least what some people considered good. Therefore, Lilith didn’t want him to expose himself.
“I should be able to deal with one! And by deal with, I mean kill.”
What Lance meant by dealing with one was without revealing too much. If he went all out in his demon form, he should be able to kill more than three fourth-order creatures.
After speaking, Lance winked at Lilith, indicating his willingness to fight with all his strength, but Lilith automatically ignored it.
Finding a way to get Lance into the Jessup Society was something Klein had repeatedly instructed, and it had to be accomplished no matter what, so Lance couldn't be exposed.
Although she had shown her Chaos Blood very few times, it was no longer a secret in the Jessup Society.
“Three is enough. You guys try to hold them back as much as possible. Leave the rest to me.”
While the others were talking, the leading dread knight had silently charged toward them. They were undead summons, without emotion or thought, only Jason's will.
Lilith took out the bottle of Chaos Blood she had obtained from Esmond and drank it without hesitation, absorbing its power.
As before, her bright green hair began to turn dark green, fangs protruded from her mouth, and her originally fair skin turned black, covered in magical纹路.
Black scales could faintly be seen from her neck to her back. Claws gripped the great scythe, and two streams of white gas spewed from her nostrils.
At this time, Lilith's appearance was stronger, taller, and more ferocious than the last time. Moreover, even after transforming, she could still maintain her sanity.
Only her voice had become like grinding metal, extremely grating.
“I will kill two of them as quickly as possible. Do your best with the others!”
The others rushed toward their respective opponents. Lance and Joe each dealt with a skeletal mage, and Shadow Three held back another dread knight.
Gripping the great scythe, Lilith's figure turned into a black shadow, rapidly approaching the dread knight. Shadow Ambush was indeed effective.
This dread knight hadn't noticed Lilith's arrival. A black light flashed, and the scythe sliced upward like flowing water. As it passed through the dread knight's torso, Lilith felt the resistance of its hard bones.
But the impact of the black scythe was even greater. Lilith landed a successful blow, instantly cutting off half of the dread knight's body.
However, as undead creatures, as long as their soul fires weren't extinguished, they could never truly die.
The dread knight thrust its sword at Lilith with one hand, the tip imbued with dark fighting energy of the same origin as black Lilith. Lilith raised her hand to block it.
On the other side, the second dread knight had already jumped down, its heavy sword breaking through the wind, wanting to cleave Lilith in two.
Lilith suddenly opened her mouth and began to roar wildly.
“Ah!”
Her left hand gripped the scythe to parry, and her right hand began to swell, twisted muscles and blood vessels intertwined with dark fighting energy, forming a huge arm that gripped the first dread knight she had slashed.
This was Lilith's exclusive secret technique, Hand of the Exile.
The arm tightly gripped the opponent's body. Even though the bones of a fourth-order undead creature were very hard, they gradually shattered under Lilith's grip.
The gap between the third and fourth order was even greater, not to mention that Lilith was only second order. She wasn't Klein.
In the previous exchange, she had already figured out some of her opponent's details.
......
After losing the combat power of the Jessup Society members, the Red and White Society immediately felt tremendous pressure, with only Becky and Eric struggling to hold on.
The few of them were like a small fishing boat in a stormy sea, seemingly about to capsize and sink at any moment.
Perona said anxiously to herself:
“Candlewick-sama, how do I tap? I don’t know how?”
【Tap a creature, do you understand creatures? Alchemy isn't for tapping stones. Have you been reading too many xuanhuan novels?】
“But Candlewick-sama, I don’t have any creatures? You don’t want me to kill my teammates, do you?”
【Holy crap, I'm convinced. Aren't bone-eating beasts creatures?】
“Oh? That works too?”
【Tell me why it wouldn't work?】
“Oh! Then I’ll give it a try.”
On the other side, Lilith had already arrived at the side of the dread knight using Shadow Cloak.
The Reaper Scythe suddenly emerged from the shadows, slashing towards one of the dread knights. Shadow Ambush was indeed effective.
This dread knight hadn't noticed Lilith's arrival. A black light flashed, and the scythe slashed upwards like flowing water. As it passed through the dread knight's torso, Lilith felt the resistance of its hard bones.
But the impact of the black scythe was even greater. Lilith landed a successful blow, instantly cutting off half of the dread knight's body.
Even in her Chaos Beast form, Lilith's power was slightly weaker than the Fear Knights in normal combat, with only a slight edge in speed.
With such strength, it was impossible for her to kill two Fear Knights within 3 minutes.
Klein's quick kill of a Fear Knight earlier relied on an information advantage, pre-planned strategies, and overwhelming magical suppression.
Lilith lacked these conditions; her only reliance was her combat skills and desperate fighting.
"Two minutes left. Fighting two at once is too troublesome; I can only deal with one first!"
Gripping one of the Fear Knights tightly with the Hand of the Banished, Lilith poured all her strength and battle aura into it, even abandoning her defense against the other Fear Knight behind her.
Staring at the Fear Knight whose lower body had been cut off, Lilith re-grasped the Reaper's Scythe, its blade gradually lengthening in her hand.
"Sixth Style - Phantom."
It wasn't just the scythe in her hand that lengthened; Lilith's body also began to become slender.
The other Fear Knight behind her raised his war sword high, cleaving down with a powerful strike, the intense sword energy rushing towards her.
Lilith didn't dodge or evade, swinging the Phantom Strike towards the Fear Knight trapped by the Hand of the Banished, determined to endure the sword energy and kill one of them.
Just as the sword energy was about to hit Lilith, a layer of golden shield appeared on her body—a priest's Holy Shield.
Before Lilith could react, a second layer, a third layer, all the way up to the tenth layer of shields, enveloped her one after another.
Moreover, the shape of these shields began to change, gradually shifting from an eggshell-shaped all-around defense to a shield-shaped directional defense.
Not far away, Eric wiped away sweat, muttering to himself.
"Hey, are young people these days so reckless? I just took my eyes off you for a second, and you charged in? I just bragged to Klein, and you're screwing me over like this. How much mana does ten layers of shields take? This insurance sale is a loss, a loss."
The sword energy arrived as expected, and the shield-shaped Holy Shields on Lilith's body shattered layer by layer until the impact of the sword energy, after passing through the tenth layer, was as small as a gentle breeze on her face.
And Lilith's Phantom Strike arrived as expected, beheading the Fear Knight.
Lilith seized the head, still burning with soulfire, with the Hand of the Banished, crushing the skull into powder with a tight grip.
Without the protection of the skull, the Fear Knight's soulfire finally extinguished.
Lilith smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. It seemed that Klein's teammates weren't all useless trash like Becky.
With Eric's help, Lilith turned and parried the other Fear Knight's iron sword, pushing her battle aura to the limit, and with a swing of the scythe, she knocked the opponent back.
"Finally dealt with one! One minute left."
Lilith raised the Reaper's Scythe, and the Hand of the Banished gradually returned to its normal appearance, as she looked towards the second Fear Knight.
"Next, it's the second one!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lilith charged straight towards the second Fear Knight, scythe in hand.
During the charge, Lilith glanced at Eric, noticing that his attention was indeed on her, and she chuckled inwardly.
"Eric's a reliable guy after all!"
Although she didn't know what kind of dirty deal Klein and Eric had made, Lilith now had a clear understanding: Eric would help her.
So, this time, she was even more prepared to fight recklessly, attacking with all her might, completely abandoning her defensive posture.
Eric was already speechless, and looking at Lilith's appearance, he knew what she was going to do.
Touching the Ethereal Potion Klein had given him, Eric gritted his teeth.
"The boss has already paid, so I have to be decent. If it doesn't work, I'll just ask him for more money later."
With this thought in mind, Eric began to cast one buff spell after another on Lilith as if they were free.
Holy Shield: Resists all damage.
Word of Resilience: Enhances constitution.
Word of Mending: Reduces damage taken.
Word of Touch: Enhances strength and agility.
Quick Recovery: Rapidly restores stamina.
Quick Healing: Continuously restores health.
Healing Prayer: Immediately restores some health after taking damage.
Inspiration Armor: Enhances defense.
Strong Shadow Resistance: Enhances shadow resistance.
In an instant, Lilith had nine of Eric's buffs on her.
The key was that this guy was cursing under his breath while casting buffs on Lilith.
"You dog couple, if you don't give me more money when you get back, I'll sell your insurance again, I'll be a dog! I'm losing so much. But then again, this woman is really a powerhouse. I don't know how a virgin like Klein managed to hook up with her!"
With Eric's buffs, Lilith became even more valiant, resisting the Fear Knight's greatsword head-on.
"Pfft!"
The sword cut through Lilith's body, taking away a lot of blood, but the injuries were immediately healed by the Healing Prayer and Quick Healing spells.
With the Holy Shield and damage reduction spells mitigating the damage, Lilith exchanged injuries for life, attacking the opponent's head with every move.
After taking six sword strikes, Lilith finally found an opening in the opponent's attack, urging the remaining battle aura.
"Second Style - Soul Split!"
This was one of the few moves in the Ten Dark Styles that could directly strike the soulfire.
The Fear Knight's greatsword had pierced Lilith's abdomen, and Lilith's scythe had also pierced the Fear Knight's head with a backhand hook, shattering the soulfire.
"Second one! Twenty seconds left!"
Lilith pulled out the iron sword from her abdomen and threw it on the ground. Eric's healing effects quickly restored her injuries.
The injuries, the declining stamina, the depleted battle aura, and the pain from the intense side effects of the Chaos Blood made Lilith pant slightly.
However, she didn't intend to stop. With twenty seconds left, she would make good use of these last twenty seconds, raise the scythe, and enter the battlefield again.

(Two updates today, over 10,000 words. I've revised chapter 138. The first version was very toxic, the second version wasn't toxic, and I feel the third version is okay. Those who were poisoned before can take a look.)
