Final Ash Flame Wave! (Second Update!)

Xia Lun pressed the Hammer with his thumb, but he did not fire yet.

A layer of the Light Umbrella still separated him from Elisa. He had to wait until they were on the same plane before he could shoot.

"Renee, I'm going to fire in a moment. Be ready," he said gravely. "You may need to lower the umbrella for a bit."

Renee did not ask why. She simply nodded and quietly cast Consecration on Xia Lun.

She did not know what was happening, but she trusted Xia Lun without question!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amid the relentless impacts, Flowing Fire kept bursting against the Holy Shield overhead. Xia Lun narrowed his eyes, watching Elisa weave through the wreckage.

Second by second, Elisa drew closer to the Light Spiral. Joy spread across her dark face, and the spiral reflected in her amber eyes, which shone like liquid gold.

If she could touch the Light Spiral, she could restore the Dunwodlin Tower. Then everyone would be saved!

She struggled to reach for the Light Spiral, now so close, but a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Bang!

The spinning bullet blew apart Elisa's head. Before blood and brain matter could scatter, Black Flame swept over her!

But in the next instant, more than a dozen slick tentacles burst violently from her neck like venomous snakes and snuffed out the Black Flame.

Elisa, High Priest of the Temple of Memories, had long since become an Evil Spirit. Her former appearance was nothing but a skin. Her true body was the tentacles that had hollowed out her organs and bones!

"Traitor!" Elisa cried, shocked and furious. Tentacles tore through her belly and shot toward the Light Spiral.

"Lower the umbrella!" Xia Lun shouted, firing at Elisa again and again!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
