Chapter 215: Radiant Blitz

Drazhul, the Bone Reaper, possessed the role of Executioner among Varkhaz’s Emberbound Ten.

Drazhul resembled a towering skeletal warrior.

His exposed bones were dark gray rather than white, with crimson mana flowing through the gaps between them.

He wore armor constructed from the bones of powerful monsters he had slain.

His shoulders were protected by the skulls of massive beasts.

A huge two-handed executioner’s weapon hung from his back, which he used to attack Kragoth.

Unlike normal undead creatures, Drazhul’s skeletal body possessed a faint layer of demonic flesh beneath his bones.

Facing another terrifying demon, Helena could not help but smile bitterly.

She turned toward her greatsword and immediately charged toward it.

When Kragoth was finally safe, Drazhul sharply turned his head toward Helena but didn’t chase after her.

He was Drazhul, the Greater Demon Executioner.

He grew stronger by killing others.

His signature ability was called Bone Harvest.

Whenever he killed a sufficiently powerful creature, he could absorb a portion of its remaining vitality.

The more powerful his victims were, the greater the enhancement.

However, Drazhul was a cautious individual.

He understood that he could not kill Helena due to the presence of the other Radiant Knights.

Hence, he had to settle for killing the demon hunters, some of whom were at B-rank.

Once killed, they could trigger his signature ability.

Without hesitation, he entered the main battlefield, killing several demon hunters along the way until he finally set his sights on a demon hunter who was busy fighting against three Abyss Knights at once.

He was a Blade Saint.

Drazhul had finally found a worthy opponent.

He immediately rushed toward him, but he was intercepted by a stray arrow that struck him.

He turned toward a Radiant Knight who was skirmishing against five Abyss Knights at once.

He was startled.

The Radiant Knight’s shortbows were running wild.

He was not fighting the Abyss Knights head-on. Instead, he was retreating and harassing them.

At the same time, many demons were caught by his stray arrows.

Although they were not as lethal as the arrows of the Radiant Knight wielding a longbow, they still pierced through the tough physiques of the demons, gravely injuring them.

Drazhul was stunned.

Without hesitation, he chased after Damon.

Damon perceived the presence of a powerful Greater Demon and understood why it was chasing him.

He was deep within the enemy’s formation, with no other Radiant Knights able to aid him.

Except Theodore, who didn’t hesitate to enchant him with enhanced agility.

Damon immediately became serious—his agility and speed soared.

The Abyss Knights could no longer keep up with him.

Only Drazhul could.

As Drazhul chased after him, he released a massive crescent-shaped slash capable of cutting through multiple targets.

However, how could it possibly capture Damon?

It was merely a futile attempt, ending up killing and injuring some demons instead.

However, Drazhul didn’t care.

He desired to kill Damon at all costs, especially when the latter was moving farther away from his allies.

As Damon entered deeper into the enemy’s formation, surrounded on all sides, he didn’t hesitate to execute his newly learned skill.

Radiant Blitz.

Damon rapidly moved between multiple targets, striking each one before repositioning.

Each successful hit increased his movement speed temporarily.

He completely ignored Drazhul.

As he successfully attacked several targets without being stopped, the accumulated momentum was converted into his powerful finishing strike.

That was why he ignored Drazhul—he had been aiming to kill him from the start.

As he continued to injure and even kill some C-rank demons who tried to attack him, his powerful finishing strike was soon ready to be executed.

It was evident from his shortbows, which radiated an intense light—far denser and stronger than before.

Drazhul paused, threatened by Damon’s shortbows.

But it was already too late.

After deceiving Drazhul into believing that his shortbows had been aimed at every demon except him from the start, Damon sharply aimed them at Drazhul while gliding through the air.

The two shortbows aimed directly at him, causing Drazhul to feel a chill run down his spine.

The two shortbows released six arrows at once.

They traveled at extreme speed, carrying a potent aura as they flew toward him.

Damon executed his skill—Rapid Volley, a quick succession of attacks.

Drazhul naturally could not react.

In the end, six arrows pierced through his vital organs.

Precisely and accurately!

Even Damon couldn’t help but whistle through his helmet as he rolled across the ground after landing before continuing his hit-and-run tactics.

At the same time, he inwardly thanked Theodore, who had timely cast his new skill—Radiant Empowerment.

Theodore temporarily synchronized his enchantment with the radiant mana of Damon’s Rapid Volley, enhancing the speed and penetration of Damon’s arrows.

As a result, Damon slew Drazhul.

A great casualty had appeared on Varkhaz’s side.

A demon belonging to the Emberbound Ten had been killed!

Drazhul’s body fell backward to the ground.

His body remained lifeless.

The demons surrounding him barely glanced at him before continuing their pursuit of Damon, while others rushed toward the demon hunters after perceiving that they were gaining the upper hand because of Damon’s skirmishes.

At this point, the tide was fully in Max’s favor.

He couldn’t help but smile when he saw how Damon had killed Drazhul.

He didn’t expect Damon to be the first Radiant Knight to kill his opponent either—he had thought it would be Fiora.

Fiora was the strongest Radiant Knight—undoubtedly.

Max could not help but smile helplessly when he noticed how Fiora was toying with her opponent.

When he glanced at Scylla, he noticed the frustration on her face as her attacks became increasingly desperate.

Even when she released a cloud of demonic ash—perhaps a demonic ability that reduced visibility and perception while causing gradual respiratory irritation—it appeared futile against Fiora.

Fiora would simply walk out and wait for the cloud to dissipate, leaving Scylla helpless.

At the same time, every one of Fiora’s attacks was deadly and precise.

If Scylla could not keep up with her speed and reflexes, she believed she would have already been heavily wounded.

Max watched their battle before focusing on his other Radiant Knights’ battles.

To his surprise, Darius was executing his new skill!
