Chapter 121: Dullahan [3]

Chapter 121: Dullahan [3]

"What…."

Adrienne found herself taken aback. Trees had been uprooted, and those still standing had lost most of their leaves. 

Moreover, the professor was nowhere to be seen.

"...."

The Dullahan had been thrown far from the battlefield, separating it from Margaret, who had suffered the worst damage here.

 It was expected. Knights were meant to tank, to endure as much as they could while mages struck from a distance. After all, magic was a demon's natural enemy.

But that momentary opening was all Adrienne needed.

She finished her incantation. As she raised it toward the distant silhouette of the Dullahan, she muttered the final word.

"Fulgur!"

Crackle——!

Bolts of lightning tore through the air, roaring as it struck its target. The ground trembled from the impact. Flames erupted where the bolts struck, leaving craters smoldering in their wake. 

The once-dense forest was now a chaotic landscape of burning trees and splintered earth.

The knights instinctively shielded their eyes, momentarily stunned by the overwhelming surge of mana. Johanna flinched at the sheer force of the spell, while Clevius tightened his grip on his weapon.

"Now!" Adrienne's voice cut through. "Before it recovers!"

Without hesitation, Johanna and Clevius sprang into action, their figures blurring as they closed the distance.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"...."

Adrienne momentarily turned her head, looking at her fellow Grimreaper's lifeless body, Leon, before joining the fight, unleashing spells forward.

Steel clashed against rusted armor in rapid succession. The force of their strikes sent sparks flying, but the Dullahan barely staggered.

….Or rather, the Dullahan's figure slowly shifted.

…..

"Switch!" Johanna roared, clashing blades with the Dullahan.
