The sudden eruption of movement over here even made Luke glance over involuntarily.
Seeing the illusion of Hydrath's almost one-to-one replica, the two elders of Ghost Mist couldn't help but furrow their brows slightly.
Their gazes instinctively shifted to Shannon, who stood before the demonic illusion, their expressions filled with contemplation.
Benjamin noticed from afar, his heart sinking slightly. He immediately gave a special order through a private transmission only Luke could hear. "All Ghost Mist members must be caught today."
At such a critical moment, every one of the Ghost Mist members had to stay, even if it meant leaving behind their dead bodies.
Luke's eyes subtly shifted, and deep down, he began to understand the reasoning behind Benjamin's order.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his energy, summoning a massive water dragon that shot up into the sky. As it lifted him, the water dragon transformed into ice.
The elder who had been criticized earlier, along with his subordinates, was swiftly eliminated.
"Trying to fight while distracted? You truly underestimate me, don't you?"
With Luke's killing move unleashed, the other elder barely managed to evade it. He no longer dared to be distracted, focusing all his attention on the enemy before him.
However, deep down, a lingering sense of foreboding began to rise. He had an unsettling feeling that none of them would make it out of this alive today.
…
After confirming that all nine snake heads were firmly locked, Shannon immediately released her grip on Hydrath's vital spot.
The six fox tails, now sharp and precise like claws, shifted to grip the head that had swallowed Albany, each tail curling and pulling from different directions.
Since the creature refused to open its mouth, she had no choice but to force it. With a powerful tug from the six fox tails, the stubborn serpent head was finally forced to open his mouth.
She could hardly hold on any longer.
Albany felt the light, and upon hearing Shannon's voice, the grumbling stopped for a moment. His tone was then laced with a hint of crying. "Shannon…"
Though its voice was visibly trembling, it stubbornly said, "Give me some time. Now that I'm in here, I better siphon all its black smoke once and for all!"
Shannon noticed that the black smoke surrounding Albany had become less dense than before, yet it was still clinging stubbornly to the black smoke on Hydrath's body.
She understood that Albany wasn't ready to give up, not wanting all the efforts to be in vain. As if struck by a sudden idea, she quickly freed one of her hands and took out the talisman that stored Benjamin's golden light.
Previously, during their time in Seastone, Benjamin had used his golden light to enhance the system's black smoke power. Perhaps it could work again this time.
Seeing how hard Albany was trying, Shannon couldn't let it fail. With two fingers holding the golden light talisman, she decisively launched it toward its body.
