Chapter 362: Chapter362-A Narrow Escape!
In that moment, they were even unable to speak, only able to start wailing in agony.
The pain was unbearable; their arms had been sliced off!
The agony instantly made their voices hoarse.
This strike had drained all of John\'s strength, yet his stamina and other energies recovered quickly, leaving no openings for his enemies.
But this was only the second blade strike.
If he were to use the third, the situation might start to change dramatically.
Yet, this second Godslayer Blade had indeed played a massive role.
Since Alex and his counterparts had no protection, the blade had directly struck their flesh.
Even though Alex was at a cataclysmic level, and his defensive capabilities were formidable, he still lost an arm to this strike!
The immense attacking power was simply terrifying!
After being thrown back, Alex landed not far in front of Silver Tear.
The two exchanged glances without any hesitation and unleashed their most powerful moves directly.
They knew this was the only way they could assist John; if this couldn\'t support John, then all that awaited them was to become a liability.
The skill struck Alex directly.
Having already lost an arm, the wound now gushed with blood.
This blast rendered him a bloody, mangled mess, the sight of which was particularly horrifying.
However, John keenly observed that the vines on the ground, tempted by the bloodshed, began to stir with excitement.
They slowly started to burrow into Alex\'s wound, and the blood-stained leaves and branches grew increasingly dense.
What was happening?
Could it be that these vines also had a suppressing effect on Alex?
Logically, this power should be of the same essence; why would it backfire on Alex?
Could it be because John had previously used the Bloodthirsty Blade to restrain these negotiations, and now they desperately needed to replenish their strength, even if it was from their own entity?
John noticed that the vines, after absorbing Alex\'s blood, seemed to grow faster than before.
He could guess that the source of their power was likely human blood!
The so-called power of the dark god was not righteous; thus, whenever their power diminished, it would turn against its masters, devouring them just the same!
Panic began to spread across Alex\'s face; his current level was artificially inflated after all.
The three of them had transformed into their present state only due to divine favor.
Thus, when they combined forces, their strength increased significantly, but only temporarily.
Within this half-hour window, they might be extremely powerful, but once it passed, they would enter a half-month period of weakness.
This was their most fatal vulnerability.
But as long as they could kill John, they didn\'t care about the consequences.
They never expected a good end for themselves; having become such grotesque beings, even if they could continue living, life held little meaning.
If they were to die, they were determined to drag everyone else down to hell with them.
They were already in hell; why should others live under the sun? Why should others have a bright future?
Everyone must die; everyone!
Alex licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"No wonder the deity said you must die; only with your death can I become the strongest being in this world."
"You truly should not exist; you should die and leave everything to me!"
As Alex spoke, he eyed the orb of light in his hand.
If the previous orb had made John feel threatened, this one now exerted a powerful pressure on him, unlike anything he had experienced before.
It was outrageous; this wasn\'t ordinary energy—it must be the power of a dark god!
Rean\'s eyes were fixed on John with a gaze so venomous it seemed it could kill.
Bloodshot with traces of blood at the corners, Maximilian\'s eyes looked particularly menacing as the blood trailed down his face.
Silver Tear and the others now felt a dryness in their throats, unable to utter a single word.
Something was terribly wrong.
Why?
Why did this person\'s presence suddenly become so terrifying?
What was happening?
They hadn\'t felt this way even when his level was at cataclysmic.
Dark Fox instinctively stepped forward, but the next second he felt a sharp pain in his foot!
Looking ahead, they saw countless windblades sweeping through the air in front of them.
These windblades hung in the space like harsh knives, turning anything they touched into powder.
Even the vines were reduced to dust at this moment.
The green dust in the air slowly coalesced into a sphere, then quickly fused with Alex\'s white orb of light.
The orb emitted bursts of white mist, appearing exceedingly terrifying and instilling an inexplicable fear in everyone.
Fear often stems from the unknown, and it was the uncertainty about what the orb could do that made it even more frightening.
John gritted his teeth; he could still unleash the Godslayer Blade one last time.
But he dared not take such a risk.
If he used it now and managed to subdue the opponent, that would be ideal.
However, if the attack failed to inflict any damage, he would be left with no options but death.
He couldn\'t gamble, he couldn\'t take that risk.
As the power emanating from Alex grew stronger, Silver Tear and the others felt their hearts rising to their throats.
Such power was terrifying; they had never seen anything like it, even on their captain.
Why?
Why was this person growing so rapidly, so swiftly that they felt they couldn\'t even react?
And John, too, seemed to be changing in some subtle ways, a situation that clearly added to their pressure.
They all instinctively glanced at John\'s expression.
Realizing that he remained as calm as ever relieved them slightly.
Without knowing when, they had gradually come to see John as their core.
As long as John seemed untroubled, they wouldn\'t worry excessively.
It was as if they could always trust him—this feeling was indescribable!
The green orb in the air was slowly growing larger.
John began to wield his staff, releasing his ranged attack skills.
"Strike!"
At John\'s command, the women beside him also quickly reacted, unleashing all their ranged attack skills.
Although they did not know what the orb was, they felt certain it was nothing benign.
If they were to wait until the orb exploded, they might truly lose their lives!
All their skills hit the orb, but it was already too late!
The orb grew larger and larger, even filling the entire dome of the church.
Alex\'s expression turned increasingly ferocious.
"Die! All of you, die!"
The green orb exploded in an instant!
A cloud of green powder mixed with white mist instantly filled the entire church!
