Chapter 98 A Great Victory
Hobert intercepted the retreat of the three "mid-sequence" enemies with 2-355.
The Judge and the Corrupted Baron weren't fools either; they unleashed two extraordinary abilities at Hobert: "Corruption!" and "Imprisonment!"
Hobert used his status as a holder of the "Wood of Order" to "distort" the targets of their extraordinary abilities into the "Wood of Order".
Their attacks were like replenishing the "Wood of Order" with nutrients.
With the effects of "Wood of Order" and 2-355, Hobert is very difficult to harm.
But that's all. He doesn't have enough means to harm two Sequence 6s. To "pull" any one of the Sequence 6s to his side would be suicide.
The "Barbarian" lacks sufficient extraordinary abilities as a means of attack, while the "Judge" and the "Corrupted Baron" certainly do.
Hobert didn't dare to be careless and came behind Utravsky and Daly to assist them.
Seeing that his side had no hope of victory and could not escape, the "Corrupted Baron" shouted, "Ready!"
The "Judge" and the "Astrologer" immediately moved behind the "Wood of Order".
Hobart immediately realized something was wrong, so he moved the "Corrupted Baron" to the position in front of the "Judge," who again made an evasive move.
At this moment, the "Corrupted Baron" had put on a black glove, and suddenly his appearance became particularly tall and majestic, with his eyes seemingly burning with black flames.
He seemed to be in great pain, his dark, deep, and majestic eyes fixed on Hobart and the others.
Hobart and the others immediately froze in place, feeling that their spirituality had been damaged to varying degrees.
The two undead that Daly summoned immediately turned into a pile of bones, and the other was left with only a hood. Soon they disappeared together and returned to the underworld.
Even Hugh and Fors, who were far away, felt the weakness to varying degrees.
Fortunately, the attack did not last. After the "Corrupted Baron" struck, he returned to normal, his face pale as he leaned against the wall, panting heavily. He was clearly unable to recover his fighting strength in a short time.
No wonder the other party hasn't used the sealing artifact yet; it seems the negative effects are significant.
However, the sealed artifact's attack was enough, completely breaking the deadlock.
The "judge" immediately launched an offensive: "Death!"
He leaned forward and threw a punch. Hobert immediately froze, as if awaiting judgment or execution, standing still and waiting for the punch to hit him precisely.
At this moment, Hobert realized that he had lost control of 2-355 and the "Wood of Order"!
Utravsky struggled to condense a giant sword to block the attack for Hobert, but he couldn't manage to do so for a moment, which showed the power of the seal's attack.
Just as the fist reached Hobart, a skeleton dressed in tattered clothes suddenly appeared in front of him. "The Judge" shattered the skeleton's skull with a single punch, sending it flying back to the spirit world.
It was Daly who summoned a spirit from the spirit world to shield Hobart from that fatal blow.
But after she finished doing all this, she knelt on the ground, clearly unable to launch a new attack for the time being.
When the "judge" failed to strike, he kicked Hobart in the stomach.
Hopper was kicked away and crashed into the wall, 2-355.
The "judge" quickly stepped forward, ready to pick up 2-355. At this moment, Utravsky's greatsword finally materialized, but it was much dimmer than before.
At this point, there was no time to worry about anything else. Utravsky, wielding his greatsword, slashed at the "Judge."
The "Judge" had no choice but to evade the attack on Utravsky's base, using "exile" to block Utravsky.
If it were at the very beginning of the battle, Utravsky could have easily cut "Exile" in half with a single sword strike, but not now, as "Exile" has completely blocked his path.
However, Utravsky's attack gave Hobert an opportunity. Despite the excruciating pain, Hobert scrambled to pick up 2-355 and buried "The Judge" in the ground.
The 2-355 has an operating range of about three meters, which is enough to bury the opponent in the ground.
However, only the main avenues and streets in Backlund were paved; the ordinary streets were paved with burnt ash or compacted gravel, so they wouldn't become muddy even when it rained.
Streets of this caliber are not enough to kill a Sequence 6, but they can temporarily trap him.
This gave Hobart, Utravsky, and Daly a chance to catch their breath.
Suddenly, it was as if a fountain appeared on the road, with soil churning and bubbling up, and the "judge" underground was "exiling" the sand above his head.
Hobart quickly struggled to his feet and threw the other man's "astrologer" in front of the spirit summoned by Upton.
While the "Judge" was wreaking havoc, the opposing "Astrologers" were protecting their "Corrupted Baron" while attacking Upton.
She kept using "falling down" and "burning" on Upton, who was now bruised and battered, his clothes burned to shreds, and his hair burned off.
If it weren't for Hobart's intervention, Upton would have suffered an even worse death than those two Sequence 8s.
The spirit summoned by Upton had been weakened by the attack of the sealed object, but it still possessed some power. When the "astrologer" appeared in front of it, it reached out and grabbed the "astrologer" by the neck.
The "astrologer" lacks powerful extraordinary abilities; her commonly used attacks such as "flash," "burn," and "freeze" have little effect on this spirit.
Meanwhile, the other party's "Corrupted Baron" was still leaning against the wall, unable to even lift his arm, clearly not yet recovered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hobart buried the "Corrupted Baron" underground. At this point, the Baron was powerless to resist and could only await his fate of suffocating.
Having just finished doing this, "The Judge" jumped out from underground, and Hobart immediately moved him to the edge of the battlefield, preparing to let "The Judge" leave, leaving the other extraordinary beings behind.
Although Utravsky and Daly's spirituality has recovered somewhat, they are still no match for the "Judge".
Moreover, the "Judge" would certainly not dare to linger in battle, because 2-355 is still in Hobart's hands, and the "Judge" cannot kill any of them.
As time passed, Daly and Utravsky regained most of their spirituality within minutes, at which point the "Judge" would have no chance to escape.
The "Judge" hesitated for a moment, then rushed toward the "Astrologer," clearly hoping to take advantage of Daly and the others' weakness to rescue the "Astrologer."
At this moment, Utravsky took out something that looked like a syringe, which contained a tube of blood. He injected the blood into his body.
Hobart looked at the "judge" with the same gaze he would give a dead man.
