Lory could feel the intensity of the black mana around her gradually decrease by more than a half that indicating that Lazarus' strength had weakened. Lory knows this is her chance!
Lory pointed her staff at Lazarus soon the light from the crystal from her staff cast down upon Lazarus' large body and soon after the iron scales that cover his body begin to crumble down and scattered into black smoke that permeated the air but then from the smoke comes human silhouettes and they all crying and screaming trying to get themselves out of the smokes and desperately reached for the light.
"Stop!" Lazarus screamed like thunder as he realizes the detrimental effect of Lory's action on his fate.
The moment his iron scales disappeared, he inevitably become vulnerable to Zhao Li Xin's attacks so he had no way to protect himself from the flames and lightning that were thrown his way.
