Three hours later.
Deris found himself in a tough battle, with Thorne's Shadowless Sword and Nether Flame Knife leaving wounds on Deris's body after several bouts of combat.
The armor that the Annihilation Legion took pride in was utterly ineffective against Thorne's masterful and lethal swordsmanship; every swing of Thorne's sword pierced the gaps in the armor, directly damaging Deris's flesh.
If it hadn't been for the supreme strength bestowed upon him by the Lord of Annihilation, he most likely would have already died by Thorne's sword.
But what truly troubled Deris was not his mentor Thorne, but the holy spirits who noticed the battle here and gathered around.
Deris still harbored the thought of recruiting these holy spirits, so he tried his best not to harm them in battle, and took this opportunity to assess their combat talents.
