With his words, he executed another batch of spiritual attacks which flew fast and directly on Eli's position.
Eli immediately moved, injecting spiritual powers into her flash steps enabling her to dodge fast.
However, this time the spiritual attacks did not explode upon the impact on her initial position.
Instead, their trajectories changed and followed where Eli escaped!
Eli was surprised that it happened, even so, she still moved with her instincts and escaped once more.
While she was escaping, she did not notice the wide vicious smile on Birsha's face, looking at her as if she had just fallen into a trap.
She just focused on running away from the homing trajectories and was unable to see that Birsha also released another batch that is aiming directly at where she was going!
When she noticed that three more trajectories are coming to her face, Eli panicked but she did her best to immediately conjure spiritual attacks to try to stop the trajectories from both sides.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions were heard once more, and the purple and black explosions immediately covered Eli's figure.
This sight made the onlookers become anxious about Eli's condition.
"Soldiers, keep fighting! We cannot help her if we do not finish what we have on hand!" Grand Master Reuben, who was now visibly exhausted in helping the army finish of the undying behemoths reminded those who were out of focus.
On Eli's side, she was about to heave a sigh of relief as she was sure that she was able to fight off the two batches of trajectory that were released by Birsha.
However, she was unable to see that just behind one of the trajectories, Birsha was able to place a hidden trajectory that hit Eli's left shoulder directly!
Tssssss!
The spiritual attack immediately permeated Eli's skin, blackening the portion of her flesh.
Eli immediately felt the pain of her soul being injured as the power of decay moved directly to affect her soul and spirit.
This time, another window disappeared and only six windows of heaven remained. Eli could feel that the spiritual powers coming to her through the windows weakened once more and that something in her memories seemed to have been wiped away.
On the first three windows destroyed, the memory of her past life from the time she tried to pick up the violin and piano was erased.
This time, it was on her life here in Prasinos, the memory of her during the time she was recovering in the Riverfort hospital seemed to disappear.
Eli became anxious, it seems like the first memories to disappear to her were those whom she deemed as happy and good memories and not those when she suffered tremendously in both lives!
She feared that if this continued, she would forget Leon and Little Ha. She would forget her mum, Kayden, and all the people who treated her dearly!
Eli clenched her fist and strengthen her heart's desire to immediately deal with Birsha who was looking at her right now with an extremely pleased expression.
"The expression on your face looks pleasing to me! How is it? How does it feel to slowly lose a part of yourself?" Birsha flew fast at her and immediately hovered to observe her expression.
Eli took this time to release a few spiritual attacks to his position but Birsha simply dodged it all.
"Hahaha! Stop struggling and just accept your fate! You are bound to lose to me! You and your army will lose and submit to me!" Birsha declared as he released another wave of spiritual attack.
Learning from her previous mistake, Eli became more proactive. She directly used her spiritual attack to counter the trajectories coming at her and also released more to attack Birsha.
She did not stop there and learned to multiply the aggression showed by Birsha by releasing to many spiritual attacks at once, surprising Birsha while he was able to sustain injuries in the process!
Birsha looked at his spiritual body and saw the small dents created by Eli's recent attacks.
Disdain flashed in her eyes as he looked displeased that a random child dared to come up with him and act like she could fight him head-on.
So far, aside from using the power of the book, the person in front of him did not seem to have any more tactics in her hand other than making scratches on her body.
This made Birsha already bored and impatient. Eli's attacks no longer pose any threat to him because he had already repeatedly provoked her, but it seems like she no longer has anything on her sleeve.
And so he decided to finish this at once, after all, he had lost a lot of his people and would have to rebuild his army once more.
He retrieved another batch of behemoths outside the barrier and their powers immediately returned to him, strengthening him by a few folds.
"It's time to end this, naive woman!" He exclaimed as a thick mist of purple powers covered his body.
Eli felt a strong force trying to pull her away from her position. There was also the overwhelming sinister pressure attacking her entire being causing her to lose focus and almost collapse.
She immediately used her spiritual powers to wrap herself and protect her from the influence of Birsha's sinister aura. Only then did she manage to return to her calm disposition and brace herself for whatever kind of attack Birsha wanted to do.
Knowing that she also must not wait idly on this kind of battlefield, she also tried to stop Birsha from doing what he planned by attacking him relentlessly.
However, her attacks seemed to have been hitting a sturdy wall making her heart sink!
'What to do?' She asked herself as she knew that her attacks were now less effective because she only have six windows as a source of power.
"I think I really have to use the book…" She thought as she knew that if she would be defeated before she could find an opportunity to get close to Birsha, then the power of the book she refused from using the entire battle would be wasted.
Before she could move to execute her decision, Birsha already waved his hand and suddenly dispersed the thick aura of curse in the entire barrier
Swooosh!!!
The aura reached Eli like a wave of a strong breeze that immediately tried to invade her body through the power of decay.
"Urggh!!!" Eli gritted her teeth and immediately circulated her mana to continuously thicken the protection she placed on her body.
She could see visibly in her eyes how the power of decay destroyed every layer of her defenses like it was cutting several layers of paper!
"How long can you resist?! You cannot run either!" Birsha continued to release the dense curse power to overwhelm Eli.
To deal with her once and for all, he rushed to her side and grabbed her neck.
"Acckk!!!" Eli felt Birsha's cold hand and tried to catch her breath. However, Birsha's hand did not show any mercy and strangled her tightly.
Eli squirmed and moved to resist him, her eyes were already watery and her defenses were slowly becoming thin.
"Aaaaackk!" In just a few seconds, the power of decay finally seeped through her body, directly destroying three of her windows.
Seeing her suffer and slowly succumb to the power of decay, Birsha smiled triumphantly as he could already see the victory in front of him.
Oblivious to him, Eli has already summoned the Book of Knowledge behind him!
"R-relea..se!" Eli uttered in great difficulty while looking at the book in great hope.
Birsha did not immediately understand what Eli initially said, but only when he felt a heavy pressure and burning sensation did he realize what Eli just did.
Shiiiing!!!!
Out of the book, a holy sword immediately flew and slashed Birsha's ethereal body directly in half.
This move shocked him so much that he did not even think of catching up to Eli who had already fallen back at a distance to attempt to recover herself.
Birsha stared at Eli wide-eyed as he saw his body getting burned by the blade of the sword.
"You! I'll kill you!!! I'll kill you in such a way that you would beg to be killed immediately rather than slowly suffer at my hand!" Birsha looked at the struggling Eli and rushed once more.
With his ethereal body split in two, he moved toward's Eli's position and attempted to capture her. He ignored the pain of his ethereal body in flames as all he wanted at the moment was to make Eli suffer.
Eli's heart sank when she saw that the remaining power of the book was not enough to finish Birsha at once.
Now she is really out of options, besides, with only three remaining windows, her body soul, and spirit had already been damaged to such an extent that she was no longer aware which of her memories were taken away.
'I guess I still failed…' She mumbled as her vision dimmed while staring at Birsha's approaching figure.
"You have not, my dear. Actually, you did a great job." Suddenly a voice rang in her ears
"Who…" She looked at who the owner of the voice was and realized…
There were five figures standing in front of her, shielding her against the approaching Birsha!
Then the man with green hair and emerald eyes among them had an understanding look in his eyes and said,
