"After all, he is such a disgusting creature. I know how repulsive his blood is without tasting it..."

Shirley's body appeared next to Karina.

Then, the others' bodies gradually began to condense around Shirley, forming a single entity.

This magical evasion method was something Shirley had previously learned from Lamina, one of the five guardians, and she was only now able to use it with her mastered abilities.

Darkness began to emanate again from the bottom of Shirley's skirt, spreading through the surrounding space.

"Now, it’s our turn! Let's go together!"

With Shirley's command, everyone attacked the God of Light from different angles in the darkness.

Alice, Karina, and Rosamund attacked from the front, at high, middle, and low angles.

The combination of Sylvia, Zola, and Zoe attacked from above.

Nicole and Norma blocked the God of Light's escape route below.

From behind, Luna and Tiffany prepared to respond.

Shirley still controlled the situation from a distance, without engaging in direct combat herself.

The fierce attacks and coordination between the companions quickly managed to suppress the God of Light.

The black substance adhering to their bodies was the main reason they could do this.

"You indigenous folk, don’t overstep!"

The God of Light, attacked by a series of blows, couldn't lift his head and roared in anger.

An immense divine force erupted like a tsunami, condensing into a beam of light the size of an index finger, but the color of this beam was deeper than any previous attack.

The bright, almost blue light quickly passed through his body.

This quick and sudden attack caught everyone off guard, the beam pierced their bodies, splitting them into two unequal parts...

"Hum..."

The God of Light let out a sigh.

Using such power forcibly had already caused him great strain, but eliminating these people all at once was definitely worth it.

Now, only...

The God of Light turned his gaze towards Shirley.

Through the black mist, he couldn’t see clearly, but...

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

There were clearly eleven shadows there!

How could this be possible!

He looked back at the bodies of those he had cut in two.

The "bodies" that had been split in half didn’t fall to the ground but remained floating in the air.

From their wounds, black slime was oozing, and their bodies began to melt, turning into pools of black pus.

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, how could the God of Light not realize that the enemies he thought he had killed with such effort were actually just clones?

Due to the confusion after the ambush and the obstruction of his perception by the black particles, he hadn't been able to identify their true identities in time.

"Hehe..."

Shirley's sarcastic laughter seemed to echo in his ears.

"So, how do you intend to avoid the next attack?"

Just as he had said before, Shirley repeated the same words.

At the same time, the black mist in front of the God of Light revealed a circular space, allowing him to see clearly what was happening on Shirley's side.

At this moment, Sheryl and the leaders of other races formed a circle, placing their hands on a strange vessel.

This vessel, with unknown patterns engraved on its surface, was the "sacred artifact" that Shirley and the others had used when swearing together as children.

Now that the sacred artifact appeared here, it meant that its function wasn’t just to bear witness to an oath.

"The sworn gather here—"

The group's voices sounded together at that moment.

"In the name of the sworn, we summon the ancient sacred artifact—"

"With our devoted blood, the soul of our belief, and the words of our oath, we ask the sacred artifact to grant us aid and punish our enemies..."

This feeling...

When he heard their chant, the God of Light felt nothing special.

But, as the "sacred artifact" they referred to began to respond to their call, trembling slightly and emitting an aura,

his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

This feeling...

He had felt it before...

And more recently, it was what had forced him to flee here...

Impossible!

The God of Light felt as if the world was making a grand joke at his expense.

He had been desperately fleeing, only to collide with the tip of death's spear in the end?

After a brief tremor of fear, madness overtook his mind.

The source of that power was only the "sacred artifact" in their hands; he just needed to interrupt their invocation to stop everything!

This thought drove him to act.

During the invocation of the sacred artifact, Shirley and the others couldn’t move, but there were still two people who could act.

Luna held the decapitation saw and positioned herself in the God of Light's path.

Even if it meant facing true death, she was determined to block the God of Light's attack.

"Get out of the way!"

The God of Light didn’t want to engage with Luna and fired a beam of light with divine power, intending to destroy her body.

Comparing their powers, he indeed had the ability to do so.

However, another figure blocked Luna's path.

It was Alice!

Alice crossed her palms and pushed, directly taking the beam head-on.

Though she too was pushed back a few steps due to the force of the impact, her body suffered no damage.

Another nuisance!

The God of Light cursed in his thoughts.

This strange girl had never shown a powerful attack, but her body seemed unbreakable.

No matter how he attacked, her body never showed wounds.

Seeing that Shirley and the others' invocation was nearly complete, the God of Light gathered his divine power again, unconcerned about the cost.

His eyes shone intensely, and from his open mouth, a splendid and swift beam of light was released, instantly hitting Alice's abdomen.

Alice took the attack head-on, while Luna tried to help her bear the brunt.

However, this stalemate lasted only a second or two.

Alice extended her hand and pushed Luna, while slightly deflecting the angle of the beam.

In an instant, Alice's body, along with the beam of light, disappeared into the horizon.

And the time she managed to buy completed the invocation of Shirley and the others.

"Concentrated darkness!"

The black particles that spread around concentrated furiously in the direction of the God of Light, binding his body firmly in place.

At the same time, in the center of the sacred artifact, a black dot appeared.

This black dot quickly expanded, emitting a terrifying aura, slicing through the air and space, and violently colliding with the God of Light...
