Elderlight was a tough nut to crack, and that one Staff he was holding was also kind of the cause of it, alongside all the equipment he had. His entire set was named [Holy Priest Saint Set], and it was all at least B+ Rank in Grade of quality. It also had special effects, which, if they were all used together, enhanced his damage dealt using Holy Light while increasing defense against Dark and Death elements too. This was how he was a living tank of my strongest attacks!

Even more, the stat boosts he got were through the roof, and I felt completely ridiculed with my humble set of equipment. I really needed something better, but where can I find it?

To boot, his Staff was the complete opposite of mine, and it had extra damage dealt using a holy light element and a lot of Mana and Magic too, granting him a vast Mana Pool that regenerated fast thanks to the equipment.

Humans might be overall rather weak, but by abusing their equipment and more, they get overpowered quickly. And well, they can also level up and acquire all sorts of skills. For example, this guy had been training all of his life, and that was clear when based on his skills, stats, and more.

He was rather weak physically, and his HP wasn't the highest either, but the amount of magical power he had was insane. His Mana Stat was at around 20k with every bonus from his equipment, and his Magic stat was over 15k. Even when my stats had increased a lot thanks to leveling up in the battle yesterday, I was barely just below his own stats, but that didn't mean this was any easier.

I knew he had a greater advantage in battle experience. Although he raged like a fool, he had most likely fought and purified countless Undead in the past. I had to go all out and do a lot of crazy stuff to get out of this situation and kill him…

Can I even win?

Even with everything calculated, the chances were dim. I wasn't sure. There was a big risk here, even bigger than when I fought the giant chimera last night.

But it was worth giving it a try!

"You're confronting me head-on?! How foolish of you! HOLY BLAST!"

He gathered a large amount of Mana into the tip of his staff and pointed it at me, unleashing a massive beam of bright yellowish-gold holy light. If this were to hit me head-on, I would completely dissipate and end up purified.

BOOOOMMM!!!

The blast quickly reached me, but I easily hid beneath the ground using my nature as a ghost! Now that there weren't any more runes around, I could easily sneak into the ground and…!

"[Holy Light Domain]!"

FLASH!

What?

Elderlight had so many Skills it was hard to keep up with all of them in my mind. He surprised me once more by conjuring something I had not even noticed—an enormous, almost 30-meter-big domain of holy light expanding across the battlefield at an incredible speed, filling the soil and anything around him with holy light runes which emanated a strong and bright halo into the sky, burning through me at a brisk pace!

Fuck! It hurts like hell!

I felt my entire body dissipating into nothingness!

"Aggghhh…!"

"Hahaha! Suffer and die! I've dealt with ghosts before, foolish woman! Go back to your grave where you belong to, Witch!" He laughed.

FLASH!

BOOOM!!!

"Uagh?!"

However, Elderlight's attack was quickly interrupted as his Domain continued to act but less intense, giving me the time to slip off his grasp.

What greeted his sight was an explosive spirit energy-filled arrow, which pierced his shoulder when he least expected it and exploded, blasting away his left arm in the process!

And that was done by no one else than my favorite elf!

"Aggghh…! By the Gods…!"

Elderlight fell to the ground as he saw the arrow that blasted away his arm begin to grow roots around his shoulder! This was the power of Emeraldine's abilities!

"I-It is growing a tree?!" He muttered in disbelief as he moved back in horror and used his magic to destroy the roots from infecting his wound while closing it in the process, stopping the bleeding instantly.

Emeraldine was right in front of him as he moved back to see the culprit behind the attack. Emeraldine looked down at the priest with an angered look as her entire body exuded the power of light and nature.

"A-A High Spiritual Light Elf?!" He shouted in shock.

It seems that these elves are rare or something as the man was very shocked.

Emeraldine pointed her arrow as she charged it with mana.

"Wait! How can you dare attack me?! You're a holy race made to slay the evil fiends and monsters of this world that the God of Chaos has sent to us! Yet… yet you're allying with them?!" Roared Elderlight, quickly standing up.

"I won't miss this time," She said ruthlessly, as another powerful arrow filled with the power of her spirits was fired towards him!

FLASH!

"[Holy Wall]!"

BOOOM!!!

This time, the arrow was caught by a defensive spell, and it exploded, breaking apart his Holy Wall in the process!

It turns out that the guy is not so resistant to the fusion of Spirit Energy and Nature Element, with a hint of Light Element. Being a priest doesn't mean being immune to his own element, I guess.

I weakly moved away as I constantly conjured Undead Healing on myself the moment, I was able to move by myself. And the next moment after that, I conjured my Death and Darkness Domain to counter his Holy light Domain, of course!

FLASH!

"W-What is this power?!" He shouted in shock once again, looking at my glorious darkness emerge in all its abyssal splendor.

"I am not dead yet, old man!" I shouted as I smiled and conjured Shadow Manipulation, shaping countless shadow tentacles out of my domain and chasing him down with them!
