Chapter 705: Death of Loren
Early September.
Valhalla Valley, late at night.
Located about 300 kilometers outside the eastern border of the Kingdom of Alolan, with crisscrossing valleys and steep terrain, it is a secret shortcut to the Kingdom of Alolan.
On both sides of the canyon stand towering cliffs thousands of meters high, with sharp peaks piercing the sky and full of hideous gullies, like countless shocking scars.
The bright moonlight sprinkled on the rock walls of the canyon, and some strange vegetation was faintly visible on the edges swaying in the night wind.
However, the tranquility that should have existed was broken by the noise of battle.
Every fight was accompanied by deafening noises of collapsing rocks and falling trees.
The surging magic power raged in the canyon. The surging stream was forced back and kept flowing backwards in mid-air, making a rumbling roar.
The earth cracked frequently, and countless bottomless cracks meandered and split the bedrock of the canyon layer by layer.
Wherever the terrifying aftermath of magic passed, everything turned into nothingness.
This is no longer a power that humans can possess.
At the center of the battle, the woman in silver armor was none other than Juliana, the Immortal Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Alolan.
Her armor was covered with crisscrossing scars, and bright red blood flowed from the cracks.
But even so, she still stood as straight as a pine tree, holding the shining snow-white sword in her hand with a sharp, cold edge that seemed to be able to cut through thousands of illusions.
Facing her was a black figure floating in the sky.
He was dressed in a jet-black robe, with his back to the night sky and the bright moon, holding a mechanical staff in his hand. His handsome face, cold and indifferent eyes were faintly visible under the drifting mist, yet they also flashed with arrogance that looked down on all living beings.
The heart-pounding magical fluctuations surrounding him were like a materialized pressure, weighing heavily on Juliana's heart.
Geyat raised his staff again.
In an instant, countless black shadows emerged from the void, covering the entire canyon.
They were glowing black, shaped like thorns, with sharp edges and corners, emitting a cold aura, and heading straight for Juliana's vital points!
Juliana gritted her teeth and her eyes were sharp.
Dozens of minutes ago, the light beast cavalry she led was still sneaking in the canyon, carrying the returning students of the Alolan Royal Academy.
Originally, at the end of August, she was leading the students of the Alolan Royal College back to the Alolan Kingdom from the easternmost Kingdom of Hutton in the far east.
As a result, a war suddenly broke out on the way, the magic rail train was damaged, and the communication was blocked and cut off, so the route had to be changed several times along the way.
Now we are finally about to arrive at the Kingdom of Alolan. We only need to pass through the hidden Valhalla Canyon and sneak for hundreds of kilometers to reach the territory of the Kingdom of Alolan.
Suddenly, a strange fog appeared, and then, that terrifying figure appeared in the sky above the canyon...
Juliana realized at the first moment that it was the third military god of the Krei Empire, the military god Geyat who was conferred the throne of sardonyx, who had found them!
Logically speaking, the last time, Geyat, the Throne of Sardonyx, should have appeared on the battlefield west of Yalolan with the main force of the Krelian Empire.
It didn't make sense that they would go around in a big circle and appear hundreds of kilometers east of the Kingdom of Alolan! Meeting the third military god Geyat here was just bad luck.
Juliana flicked her wrist, and the sword light transformed into thousands of phantoms, chopping the black shadow into pieces.
But the broken shadows regrouped in midair, turning into even denser blades that covered half the sky! Juliana repeatedly waved her sword to block, and wherever the sword pointed, the shadows shattered and turned into starlight and dissipated.
But no matter how hard she struggled, the endless stream of black shadows still came like a tide, gathering more and more, and submerged her entire body in the blink of an eye.
Countless sharp blades pierced Juliana's armor, making a harsh friction sound. Blood spurted out from the cracks in the armor, drawing enchanting blood arcs in the air.
Geyat's illusions and attack magic were so real that she couldn't tell the difference.
“Break it for me!!”
Juliana held a long sword shining with silver light in her hand, and with the sword's energy running wild, she swung out bolts of lightning to strike at Geyat. She was agile, and wherever the sword pointed, rocks shattered and the ground collapsed. The terrifying gust of air swept across the entire canyon within a radius of several kilometers.
Geyat dodged calmly. His figure was like a wisp of black smoke, weaving in and out of Juliana's sword moves. Whenever Juliana's sword was about to touch the corner of his clothes, he would lightly tap the mechanical staff, and phantoms would emerge from all directions, disrupting Juliana's judgment.
Juliana gritted her teeth, eyes gleaming with anger, and attacked the God of War again.
Geyat, the Throne of Sardonyx who is good at illusions and seals, not only has magic power beyond the limits of human beings, but his characteristics also make it almost impossible for the enemy to escape from him. Juliana can only choose to fight with Geyat, hoping that some students can rush back to the Kingdom of Alolan for help.
But even if she had extremely strong vitality, it was uncertain whether she could survive long enough under Geyat's hands.
The [Seal] attribute really restrains [Regeneration], and her spiritual attribute is not that high, and her patience with [Illusion] is not enough. Geyat's many illusions can not only control and interfere with her, but can even cause real damage to her!
No matter what, we have to fight.
A surge of powerful aura burst out from her body, sweeping across heaven and earth, like a god descending!
That is a power that is enough to sever cause and effect and reverse life and death. What blooms from [Original Slate-Regeneration] is the light of the soul that was once on par with the gods!
In just a short while, her injuries healed along with the mist.
"Are you the only one who has the original slate?"
Geyat raised his hands above his head and muttered something.
The entire canyon under the night sky changed color, and countless purple-black magic circles took shape between heaven and earth, devouring everything around them.
An invisible divine light is rapidly eroding the foundation of the canyon. An endless stream of magic power collides in the turbulence, making a deafening roar. This is precisely the blessing of [Original Slate-Illusion].
Juliana gripped the sword tightly in her hand, ready to engage the enemy.
Behind Geyat, a huge shadow emerged.
The shadow was several thousand meters tall, pitch black, wearing heavy armor, and a ghost mask on its head, like a demon. The monstrous magic power washed over it in its roars and rages, black thunder rolled in the sky, the earth was falling apart, and the mountains and rivers were wailing.
The space was distorted and time almost froze at this moment.
The boundary between life and death seems so blurred at this moment.
Juliana roared, and the long sword in her hand drew an arc of light, and the sword energy swept away like a raging wave.
This is her signature skill, a fatal sword move that can cut off the soul!
Geyat's expression remained unmoved. He waved his mechanical staff, a black light flashed, and Juliana's sword energy was actually blocked in mid-air for the most part!
She only felt a huge force coming at her, and the whole person who was facing the giant fist of the phantom demon was thrown away and smashed against the rock wall of the canyon.
The rocks and trees within a radius of several miles were turned into flying powder, and the dust filled the air, covering the sky and the sun.
Juliana spat out a mouthful of blood and stood up while enduring the severe pain.
It is not a good idea to confront the opponent head-on, as the recovery speed will not be able to keep up.
Without considering attribute restraint, the opponent's hard power is far superior to hers.
Mid-air.
"Your sword skills...are very similar to a middle-aged man I met a few days ago."
The suspended Geyat suddenly spoke, looking down at Juliana on the ground from high above, his tone so calm as if he was talking about the weather.
"What are you talking about..."
Juliana wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and raised her sword stubbornly.
If the other party was willing to stop attacking and give her precious time to reply, she would naturally be happy to do so, and would even delay for as long as possible.
"I think his name is Leonard? A seventh-rank general of the Alolan Kingdom."
Geyat seemed to find it amusing.
Juliana's pupils suddenly shrank.
"A few days ago I was in Zelder Heights and encountered a group called the Urn Star Table."
Geyat continued to recall.
Originally, the army of the Kingdom of Alolan could be said to be quite powerful. With the fortress military defense set up, it was not so easy for the Imperial Army's vanguard troops alone to win the Battle of Zelder Heights.
Unfortunately, the vanguard of the Imperial Army had successfully exhausted the energy of the barrier, and the appearance of He Geyat instantly broke the balance and wiped out the entire legion.
"If you were there at that time, the outcome of the battle at Zelder Heights might be uncertain."
Geyat reviewed the situation absentmindedly.
As long as there is an eighth-level strongman in the fortress at the beginning, it will be difficult for the vanguard troops to consume the barrier. Or as long as the barrier exists, it will be suppressed by the barrier and supported by the rear troops. Even he will find it difficult to suppress Juliana against the city defense army. At worst, as long as it can hold out for an energy cycle and wait until the energy center has finished dissipating heat and the barrier is activated again, the fortress can continue to counterattack.
Unfortunately, the eighth-level strongmen of the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance cannot take care of every strategic location, and there are very few top eighth-level strongmen who can compete with their twelve military gods.
"Teacher Leonard... did you fight him?"
Juliana's voice trembled. Although she thought of a fact that she could hardly accept, she was still desperately denying this possibility.
"Yeah, it was easy to kill him. He was very weak."
As if he was stating a fact, Geyat finished the review and looked at Juliana.
"You're talking nonsense! He is the strongest!"
Juliana shouted hoarsely, tears welling up uncontrollably in her eyes.
General Leonard, who taught her sword skills since she was a child, was almost like a father to her. The reason why she was able to transform from a little border thief to a soldier respected by the kingdom was all due to General Leonard's kindness in re-inventing her.
But Geyat just looked at Juliana with a bit of pity and confusion.
It's like asking her, why are you angry?
"The rotten bishop Farmer even commissioned the Cremorne Empire to bring Leonard's body back."
Geyat seemed to have suddenly thought of something.
In the past two years, Bishop Xiufu and Juliana have had a deep hatred. Bishop Xiufu has specifically named all people related to Juliana, and once he can catch them, he will use his forbidden magic and biochemical experiments to study and transform them.
"Gayat!!"
Juliana let out a sad and angry roar, and her whole body was covered by a layer of dazzling silver light.
Her power reached its peak in extreme anger. Each of her swords carried the momentum to tear apart space. The terrifying sword pressure made the entire canyon tremble.
She moved her sword vigorously, and at this moment, she just wanted to cut Geyat into pieces!
Facing Juliana's attack, Geyat was not at all panicked.
Sometimes he set up layers of illusions to make her lose her way in the interweaving of reality and illusion, sometimes he countered with seals to make her moves come to nothing, and sometimes he used teleportation to make her attacks all fail, just like a cat teasing a mouse.
"An amateur in mind will never be my opponent."
Geyat smiled easily, and a strange light flashed across the mechanical staff in his hand.
The next moment, a huge black vortex appeared under Juliana's feet, like a devil's mouth, swallowing her in an instant!
Juliana let out a sharp scream, feeling the strength in her body rapidly draining away.
She couldn't really tell the difference between the real and the fake, which were feints and which were real spell attacks, and sometimes she could only rely on luck.
That was a real spell, a triggered seal cast by Geyat, which could absorb the opponent's magic power! Juliana half-knelt on the ground, her whole body shaking violently.
She tried her best to stand up, but her limbs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
Juliana screamed to the sky, her voice shaking the sky.
She raised her sword high, the silver light was dazzling, illuminating the entire canyon, the blood vessels on the back of her hand bulged, and brilliant golden lines appeared on her skin. That was the strongest fighting form hidden in her body. In an instant, a majestic momentum erupted in the canyon, and the sword energy turned into an immortal dragon, swooping down at Geyate, and the tyrannical power swept across a radius of 100 miles! Geyate's eyes became a little more serious.
This immortal swordsman can still unleash such terrifying power when he is forced into a corner.
A cold light flashed in Geyat's eyes, and he gently moved the mechanical staff forward.
The eighth-level sealing technique [Thousands of Seals].
The next moment, countless chains suddenly appeared, locking Juliana and her sword energy from all directions.
She raised her hand almost frantically, and slashed down with the long sword in her hand. The sword energy was crisscrossed, cutting off thousands of black shadows! At the same time, she flashed and approached Ge Yat in an instant, with the sword pointing directly at the other's throat!
"snort."
Ge Yat snorted coldly. He didn't like others getting close to him.
He was surrounded by mist, which suddenly spread outward in a wide area, flowing unsteadily, following him like a shadow. No matter how close Juliana's sword got, it could not touch Geyat at all.
On the other hand, Geyat acted swiftly. With a wave of his hand, a purple-black light burst out from his palm and went straight into Juliana's eyebrows!
Juliana let out a shrill scream and fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Her internal organs seemed to be grasped by someone, and even breathing became extremely difficult.
This was Geyate's eighth-level illusion [Refine the Heart and Seize the Soul], which could only be released at a certain distance. It could greatly interfere with the opponent's actions and torture the opponent. The process of enduring magic was as painful as being tortured by a thousand cuts! At a long distance, he would kite and restrict the range of action, and at a close distance, he would attack the opponent with a more troublesome mind.
Boom! Dust billowed up into the air, covering the sky and the moon.
When the smoke and dust cleared, a deep pit appeared where Juliana fell. It was so deep that it almost split the entire canyon in half! Juliana half-knelt on the ground like a rag doll.
And Geyat was still floating in the sky, looking down at her expressionlessly.
Although they may still have to fight for a few more rounds before the winner is determined.
But the final result is obvious.
Even the Undead Sword Master will eventually be crushed unilaterally.
Geyat didn't speak any more to Juliana.
He just quietly gathered his magic power and watched his enemy die.
The magic array between heaven and earth moved rapidly, converging into a huge black hole. Countless purple-black beams of light gushed out from the black hole, sweeping across heaven and earth like a plague. Wherever they passed, everything turned to dust.
“…”
Juliana looked at the silver moon that was occasionally covered by dark clouds, and felt that she would not be able to hold on until reinforcements appeared.
Judging from the speed of the students of the Royal Academy of Alolan, even if they reached a place without communication interference as quickly as possible, they might not be able to contact the reinforcements from other Alolan forces.
In her life, she was lucky enough to transform from a small thief in the slums into a strong defender of the country.
If there was any regret, it was that she couldn't be with that person until the end. As expected, for someone like her with a poor background, even the goddess of fate would not approve of her being with the high priest.
Things have come to this, even if she would die here, she must inflict the greatest damage to Geyat, the third military god, the Throne of Sardonyx.
Just as Juliana clenched the hilt of the sword and was about to be swallowed by Geyat's magic, a sharp air current suddenly cut through the sky, like an invisible heavy sword, and hit Geyat hard.
"Gayat, go back to your Kreihe Empire!"
An angry voice echoed in the canyon, like a thunderous pardon.
In the hurricane rising from the sky above the distant canyon, runes of the Age of Gods densely covered the air. The figure of a black-robed priest seemed to have the air currents around him transformed into pure electric light, which continuously caused the electric cocoon to explode. He raised his finger, pointing in a direction that pierced the sky and the earth, and blasted Geyat away with his airflow heavy sword.
The void exploded, and a deafening roar accompanied by a dazzling light echoed in the canyon.
Geyat's figure was wrapped in black mist and was blown away like a fallen leaf, hitting the distant mountain wall and stirring up dust all over the sky.
Juliana stared at the horizon in disbelief.
According to recent rumors, as long as you call Loren's name in your heart, he will appear - he always appears in any place where he shouldn't be, like a joke of the goddess of fate.
Even on her way back, she heard that Loren was suspected of saving the residents from the civil unrest in the Flower City of Pariel.
Juliana originally thought of this as just superstition.
He didn't expect Loren to actually come here to rescue him.
Juliana opened her eyes wide in shock and looked at the figure falling from the sky in disbelief.
Loren's profile was depicted by sharp black and white shadows, his brown hair flying in the wind, rolling like dark clouds, that was the look of an absolutely strong man looking down at the ground.
"Loren? Why are you here?"
Juliana's voice trembled with weakness and emotion.
"Juliana, take the students and run to Alolan. Don't look back."
Loren threw her aside at the first opportunity and used wind magic to escort her to the territory of the Kingdom of Alolan in the west. His voice reached her ears along the wind.
Juliana, who turned into a storm meteor in the sky, had a complicated expression, and a trace of struggle and reluctance flashed in her eyes.
But she knew that now was not the time to act on emotion, and she believed in Loren's ability.
If I stayed here while injured, I would probably fall into Geyat's illusion and become a negative combat force that would restrict Loren from taking action.
Besides, she knew what Loren meant. As a powerful defender of the Kingdom of Yalolan, she had to return to the Yalolan barrier as soon as possible to play the greatest strategic value. The royal capital could not do without her, otherwise the Kingdom of Yalolan would become the most easily breached gap among the three major countries in the eastern region!
"Loren! Don't be in trouble!"
Juliana mustered up her resolve, turned her head, accelerated her flight, and soon disappeared at the other end of the canyon.
“…”
Although Loren didn't know why he was here, this unreasonable thing was quickly accepted by Julianna.
But the next opponent he has to deal with, the third military god, Geyat, the Throne of Sardonyx, will put him under tremendous pressure.
Loren didn't know whether he could win against this top military god who was good at illusions and seals.
All I can say is that there is no problem in holding him back for now.
Before Loren finished his words, Geyat had risen from the ruins. He did not look injured and there was not even any dust on his clothes. Loren's attack was completely blocked by him.
"As expected, High Priest Loren and the Empire's intelligence come and go like the wind. He could appear anywhere. I really didn't expect to have an unexpected gain today."
Geyat looked at Loren, as if he had finally met an interesting opponent.
“…”
Loren was not willing to communicate much with the third military god, Geyat, the Throne of Sardonyx.
It is easy to fall into his trap when talking to an opponent who is good at illusion.
But the opponent's words were also very confusing.
He has not left the Kingdom of Hutton in all these years. How come even his opponents easily accepted the fact that he appeared here?
This time he came, and initially he wanted to go to the Kingdom of Person to pick up Lanqi and bring him back to the country.
He knew that Lanqi had unique command and leadership abilities, and that his role in the war must not be underestimated.
Fortunately, there are now Florence, the chief paladin of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, and the chosen saint, the Ice Witch, in the heart of Hutton. Even if Loren leaves temporarily, the safety of the capital Ikerit is still guaranteed, so Loren set off secretly.
Then he arrived at the Person Kingdom and found out through Person's intelligence that Juliana had not successfully returned to the Alolan Kingdom for too long. He knew that she must have had a difficult time on the road. Considering that the Imperial Military God would block her, Loren tried his half-baked astrology, but the goddess frequently gave him bad omens.
He was really uneasy, so he rushed to the Kingdom of Alolan alone.
Anyway, Lanqi is very safe in Pariah, the flower city in the heart of Bosen. It doesn't matter whether we go to pick Lanqi up earlier or later. But for Juliana, we must ensure that she can return to Alolan smoothly. This is related to the safety of countless people in the Kingdom of Alolan.
The sky gradually became gloomy, and large patches of dark clouds took on an eerie crimson color under the gradually reddening moonlight.
Lightning and thunder, carrying sand and gravel, made terrifying roars.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Loren and Geyat faced each other from a distance, the magic power around them continued to rise, and visible air waves collided in mid-air.
The next moment, thousands of air currents surged into the sky from Loren's slightly raised palm, condensing into an invisible heavy sword, and stabbed straight at Geyat.
Geyat chuckled and waved his mechanical staff.
A deep purple barrier formed out of thin air, blocking him.
The surging magic power surged on the surface of the barrier, like ripples of mercury.
The invisible heavy sword collided violently with the magic barrier, causing an earth-shaking echo.
The entire Valhalla Canyon shook and trembled under this impact. The spell cast by the third military god, Gyat of Sardonyx, was far more powerful than the spell he used against Juliana before.
Obviously, when facing Loren, Geyat began to use all his strength.
Emerald green air currents and deep purple mist intertwined, creating devastating storms. Wherever the hurricane created by Loren passed, even the void would be torn apart.
Geyat waved his staff again, and the mechanical staff twisted and reorganized into a magic wand.
Countless purple-black lightning bolts fell from the sky and wrapped around Loren's limbs like poisonous snakes.
Loren paused, then quickly broke free.
After Geyat's staff turned into a magic wand, although the power of the spell was reduced, the casting speed was much faster.
Loren needed a little time to adapt to the opponent's new fighting style.
Just when Loren revealed his flaw, Geyat waved his magic wand towards the sky, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Countless black shadows emerged from the void and rushed towards Loren.
Each black shadow turned into sharp thorns with sharp edges.
Loren's face changed slightly, and he gathered his airflow to resist.
Countless air currents swirled around him, transforming into a layer of flowing armor, which cut away most of the thorns, but a few that escaped the net still pierced his body.
Loren groaned, feeling an inexplicable force rapidly dissipating.
After Geyat's weapon is transformed into a magic wand, the damage is no longer that high, but control becomes more frequent and difficult.
The fierce battle between Loren and Geyat in the Valhalla Canyon continued. Wherever the storm passed, the hard rocks were cut into pieces, while Geyat cast a strange illusion. The purple mist filled the entire land, making it difficult to distinguish between gods and ghosts.
Loren suddenly clapped his palms together, and in an instant, thousands of sharp wind and thunder roared out. The sharp airflow carried a tremendous force, and thousands of troops rushed towards Geyat like the chariot of gods.
Geyat flicked his finger, and countless purple-black chains appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the wind and thunder like pythons, instantly crushing them into pieces, turning them into powder all over the sky.
"Eighth-level lightning magic... It is rumored that the High Priest's best attribute besides wind is light, but it seems that you are equally good at using each attribute."
Geyate smiled curiously, "What is your best attribute?"
In fact, in his opinion, it was not the wind that chose Loren, but Loren who chose the wind. Among the thirty-one attributes, Loren might be good at most of them.
Loren had a cold face and did not answer him.
He doesn't like to talk to his opponent during a fight.
He had to admit that he would be at a disadvantage facing an opponent like Geyat who was good at illusions and seals.
His adaptability is more inclined towards elemental magic. When fighting against elemental opponents, he can basically restrain them no matter what attributes the opponents are.
But he is really not very good at fancy attributes like illusions and seals.
Now we can only try which magic is most effective on Geyat.
Loren raised his right palm overhead.
A beam of blazing white light burst out from the palm of his hand, shooting straight into the sky, illuminating the entire sky as bright as day. Countless bright spots of light quickly gathered in the air and turned into a huge net of light, covering the canyon from all directions.
"You know a lot of light and barrier magic."
A purple-black magic barrier quickly formed around Geyat, blocking the huge light net outside.
The two powerful forces collided violently in mid-air, causing a deafening roar.
The blood vessels on the back of Loren's hand trembled slightly, and he tried his best to maintain the light network.
But gradually, this collision again proved fruitless.
"Unfortunately, I will too."
Gayat muttered.
A magic circle formed on the ground covering several kilometers beneath his feet, emitting a suffocating and terrifying aura.
The purple-black light spots in the sky spun wildly in the magic circle, turning into chains as thick as giant pythons, whistling towards Loren's light circle.
The magic power was far stronger than before, causing the air to stagnate and the air pressure to drop suddenly.
Loren mobilized the magic power in his body and quickly formed an air shield in front of him.
During the collision of the Geyat barrier, fine cracks appeared on the shield, and it was shaky and in danger of collapsing.
The magic power in Loren's body exploded, and in an instant, countless dazzling lights burst out from his body, interweaving into a typhoon in mid-air, carrying a tremendous force, and crashing straight into Geyat.
The two destructive forces collided violently in the void, causing a loud noise that shook the earth and sky.
The barriers of both sides collapsed in an instant, forming the largest-scale control offset.
Loren gasped.
On the other side, Geyat looked quite relaxed.
Geyat, who is good at illusion and sealing magic, is known for his mental strength. If he continues to fight with Geyat, it is likely that Loren's magic power will be exhausted first.
The only way now is to delay as much as possible, use more divine magic and less magic, give Juliana enough time, and then find a way to get rid of Geyat.
Divine arts will mostly borrow the power of the gods between heaven and earth to form all things. The mana consumption is smaller than that of spells, but the number of times it can be used each day is limited, otherwise it will cause mental breakdown.
The real problem is how to get rid of Geyat.
The endless control is too difficult to deal with. It may be more difficult to escape from Geyat than to defeat Geyat directly.
Thinking of this, Loren took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Don't think too much at this time, just prepare for the battle wholeheartedly.
Unexpectedly, Geyat suddenly put away all his magic power, elegantly straightened his clothes that were wrinkled by the battle just now, and looked at Loren with a playful expression.
"Mr. Loren, do you think I really want to compete with you?"
It seemed as if Geyat saw through Loren's desire to delay time.
He didn't mind if Loren did.
"What's the meaning……?"
Loren frowned, feeling that things were not simple.
Geyat's attitude was too calm, as if he was playing with his prey.
Could it be that... he had other intentions? Loren watched every move of Geyate.
"Is there a possibility that I was trying to hold you back from the beginning?"
Geyat, however, did not answer but asked instead, looking meaningfully toward the sky with a sly smile on his face.
Suddenly, a dazzling red light broke through the thick dark clouds and fell into the canyon like a huge comet.
The impact created a strong wind that swayed the trees in the canyon from side to side.
Looking at the sea of fire caused by the red comet, Geyat picked up the mechanical wand again.
Loren didn't have time to continue paying attention to Geyat, and a chill rose in his heart.
He looked suddenly in the direction where the red light fell, and saw a hole hundreds of meters deep on the ground, and rolling heat waves swept over.
In the center of the pit, there was a violent figure wearing dark red heavy armor.
His black hair was flying like flames, his eyes were bloodshot, his gaze was sharp enough to make people's heart palpitate, and a wave of hot air was swirling around him, and the air was distorted.
The earth was suppressed by his momentum and the air was burning.
"The seventh military god of the Kreihe Empire, Philip the Blood Jade Seat?!"
Before Loren could be shocked, the figure of Philip in his sight had quickly enlarged.
Philip turned into a scarlet afterimage and attacked, punching out.
The fist wind mixed with raging flames came roaring in, carrying with it a devastating force, and heavily slammed into the light shield that burst out from Loren's body.
At the same time, Geyat's mechanical wand gently turned in his hand, instantly dispersing Loren's light shield into countless fragments. Loren could only use more urgent defensive magic again to block Philip's attack.
The right fist of the Seventh Army God Blood Jade Philip stretched forward violently, full of explosive power and murderous intent.
When the explosion resounded throughout the canyon, dust flew everywhere and Loren was knocked heavily away.
The violent force caused the entire valley that Loren was trapped in to collapse like a surging tide. The collision was faster than thunder, shaking the entire Valhalla Valley! Before Loren could catch his breath, the third military god, Sardonyx Gyat, suddenly attacked again.
Countless purple-black chains broke out from the ground and instantly bound Loren tightly.
Loren struggled desperately, but those evil chains clung to him, sucking away his magical power like leeches.
In a blink of an eye, the Seventh Army God Blood Jade Philip punched again.
The fist whizzed down with a tremendous force, the wind from the fist seemed to carry a temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, and flames shot up into the sky.
Loren watched helplessly as Philip's fist was about to hit him, knowing that the defensive magic would only be disrupted and disintegrated by Geyat again.
Loren's magic power surged wildly again, and he chose to fight Philip head-on with all his might.
“Die!”
Philip laughed, his fist flashing with a fiery red light, and smashed it hard into Loren's chest.
Just as the fist was about to touch Loren, Loren's whole body glowed brightly, and magic power condensed into a bright white ball of light around him.
The ball of light exploded.
A deafening roar echoed through the canyon.
The blazing white light engulfed Philip's figure, and mixed with the eighth-order limit compression magic, it actually stopped his fist! Philip, who had just exchanged injuries with Loren, stood up from the rubble. His posture was straight, but his skin was severely burned, and smoke was rising.
The skin on Philip's palm was torn and blood was flowing down his arm.
"High Priest Loren is indeed extremely brave. He is not afraid of both of us at the same time."
Looking at his bloody fist, Philip actually laughed.
“…”
Loren's face was pale, blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth, and he was trying hard to support his shaky body.
The attack just now was not an appropriate one.
The Seventh Military God, Philip of Blood Jade, who is good at [Reinforcement] and [Fire], cannot fight him head-on like this.
With the third military god Ghyat around, he had no choice but to exchange injuries with the crazy seventh military god Philip before he could take on his attack.
Facing two military gods at the same time, even the battle-hardened Loren felt tremendous pressure.
Originally, Loren felt that he could still fight against the third military god, Geyat, until the seventh military god Philip appeared. Then Loren felt that the pressure had increased dozens of times.
The only good news is that Philip is not as strong as Geyat. The collision just now has already caused Philip considerable damage.
It is almost impossible to win now if we try to use roundabout tactics. With Geyat's control, it will be difficult to escape. Maybe we can only try our best to defeat Philip first, and then find a way to continue dealing with Geyat.
No matter what, he should be able to delay until Juliana successfully returns to the Kingdom of Alolan.
Just as Loren was about to start this fatal battle.
A faint scent of sandalwood wafted in from somewhere, which was out of tune with the night wind in the canyon.
Loren's eyes suddenly widened, sweat continued to appear on his forehead, and he looked in the direction where the breath came from.
I saw a young man in a white robe embroidered with intricate and gorgeous patterns standing on the other side of the canyon.
He has short light blond hair and a clear face.
But what makes people most frightened is his clear and bright silver eyes, as if he can see through everything.
"I have long heard of Mr. Loren's name."
Simonro, the Eleventh God of War and Emerald Throne, also appeared in mid-air.
He raised his hand and instantly healed all of Blood Jade Philip's injuries, making the wounds on Philip that Loren had risked his life to injure just now disappear, and Philip's warrior aura also recovered to its peak.
Loren took a deep breath and looked at the three military gods surrounding him in the dark canyon.
He understood their plan.
Even Simonlo, the eleventh military god who is good at [Healing] and [Wind], has come.
The three war gods who came to this desolate canyon did not send one person to track Juliana, but all three stayed with Loren, as if they had calculated to kill him steadily.
From the beginning.
The plan of these military gods is to hunt down the top combat forces of the Kingdom United Parliament Alliance!
"Originally we only wanted to get rid of Juliana, but we didn't expect that the big fish we caught in the end would be you, High Priest Loren."
Emerald Simon Luo had a hint of regret and a smile on his lips.
“…”
Loren looked at this scene. He had never expected that the three military gods would join forces.
But the problem is.
How on earth were they able to plan such a perfect covert route, bypass the detection of the Kingdom Federation, and successfully and accurately locate Juliana's location?
The night wind howled in the canyon, the sky was gloomy, and the blood moon hung high in the sky.
The three military gods looked at each other from afar, all looking down at Loren.
Loren stood alone, bathed in the pale red moonlight, his face full of sadness.
Life and death no longer mattered.
What matters is what he can do now.
"Sorry, Lanqi, it looks like we won't have a chance to see each other again."
Loren had no idea how he could deal with these three guys at the same time, and he couldn't go to pick Lanqi up.
The end was foreseen from the beginning.
Like the collapse and melting of ice, it emits waves of sighs.
He said to himself.
"Is it so that High Priest Loren can also be afraid?"
Blood Jade Philip couldn't help laughing when he saw Loren's solemn expression.
Loren was the calmest enemy he had ever seen when he was about to die. It was precisely because of this calmness that Philip believed that Loren knew better than anyone else the despair that he would face next.
"In fact, who can live in this world without being timid?"
Loren threw away the priest's black robe, leaving only the black shirt.
His eyes, like the coldest ice lake in winter, stared at the three opponents through the storm air currents.
"We are well aware of the atrocities committed by the Kreihe Empire. Even if it's not me, someone will eventually come to break the endless cycle and bring about cause and effect."
His pupils seemed to be filled with silver light, raising his magic power to the extreme.
That's true.
At this final moment, he can remove the shackles of the high priest——
Fight as a pure man! ! Outside the eastern border of the Kingdom of Alolan, the wind howled under the blood moon, and the war of the Age of Gods was about to start again.
Like lights illuminating the sky, the night sky turns into day from time to time, and then quickly dims.
