Chapter 798 Aleister style!
However, at this time, something different happened.
Originally, when the Night Demon appeared, the sky should have been replaced by a blood moon and blood rain.
But at this moment, the dark clouds and storm in the sky showed no sign of dispersing. Instead, they suddenly split open again and again, as if they were torn apart by some force and were therefore damaged.
Those scattered and mottled scarlet spots of light now seemed to have turned into red stars in the night sky.
The bloody rain formed a series of straight crimson rain lines, falling sporadically. Under each of these leaks, a column of blood three or four meters in diameter formed. Only the red leak that reached directly above the dark clouds flowed thick, pillar-like blood.
It was as if the dark clouds were pierced with holes one after another, injuring the flesh and causing bleeding; it was also as if the dark clouds were the collapsing sky, and one after another bright red thin pillars were supporting the sky.
Aleister narrowed his eyes slightly.
——This was the first time that Night Demon failed to overtake his opponent in "Field Magic".
As expected of a genuine upper-level phantom demon...
Heleqin's level was already sixty-nine, but had been forcibly reduced to fifty by the update. Aside from lacking the powers granted by the Celestial Master fragment and possessing no artifacts... his basic attributes were identical to those of the Celestial Master pulled down by the Tail Ring!
"...How unfair," Aleister sighed softly, "The Night Demon had just touched the threshold of the sixth energy level, and it was balanced by the Sand Clock. And you... should be around the seventh energy level, but you were forced to the sixth energy level, right? Yet you can continue to fight without worrying about balancing..."
"Because I am the King of the Wild Hunt, the Spear of the Great Philosopher. The Wild Hunt itself is a manifestation of the balance of yin and yang. Besides, I am only allowed to fight for a slightly longer time, not without restrictions."
As Heleqin spoke, he lowered his helmet visor.
There was a clang, and his voice became dull and majestic. "But you actually know my true strength... and you also know that the world is not limited to the sixth energy level. As expected, you have a close relationship with the Lord of Scales and Feathers."
The next moment, two dim yellow lights lit up from the eyes of the helmet.
Immediately afterwards, the edges of the pure white horse's wings also turned a dim yellow. The gleaming silver armor on his body also gradually dimmed, dyed the same dim yellow as a stone statue illuminated by the setting sun, like a yellowed old photograph, only a fleeting afterimage in memory.
According to previous developments, the white armor of the Wild Hunt should have also been dyed a dim yellow...
However, what surprised Aleister was that they had not changed at all. The pure white ghost cavalry army was still standing quietly in the distance.
"I've seen that lady in my dreams and know her fighting style. And she doesn't know me, so this isn't a fair fight."
After Heleqin put on the mask, his voice immediately became as deep and hollow as the principal of the Ziggurat: "We are not mortal enemies. There is no need to kill each other here. It would be unsatisfying and meaningless. A warrior's blade will never be pointed at a friend.
"Besides, that lady probably won't be able to fight for long. The existence of demons is not permitted by the Sand Clock, and she herself has no divine power to protect her, so..."
Helechin said, pointing his spear at Aleister.
"Neither of us uses minions—you fight me fair and square."
"Evans" stared at Heleqin in a daze, and subconsciously tightened the thunder spear in his hand.
——He does have some fighting skills.
That was the knowledge Heleqin had passed on to him in his dreams...it was Heleqin's fighting style. From this perspective, Aiwass and Aleister could be said to be Heleqin's disciples.
How can a student surpass his master?
"I swear by the name of the Dusk's Kin, the Apostle of the Great Sage, the King of the Wild Hunt, the warrior who has obtained the power of the storm—"
Heleqin uttered a hollow and insubstantial voice: “I will suppress both my strength and skills to the same level as you.
"I will only use abilities inferior to yours, and only the spearmanship I taught you. You may use any other skills besides summoning creatures. If you can gain my approval, I will sign a contract with you, and you will continue to learn the martial arts of the dead from me. If you can defeat me, I will be convinced and accept you as my master... If you are defeated by me, then this matter ends here.
"--how?"
Same numbers, same skills.
It sounded like a fair fight. Compared to Heleqin's direct all-out fight, it seemed like he was letting it slide...
However, there is a completely different detail here.
That is [experience].
Although Aleister possessed Heleqin's 300-year battle memory and thus learned Heleqin's "riding skills" and "lance skills" from his "White Knight" period, Aleister was ultimately only "remembering" them through trickery and was not necessarily able to fully utilize them.
Just as "Yun has watched professional player videos, memorized every detail, and mastered all the necessary knowledge and operational techniques," this does not mean that he has fully mastered the pro player's ability. When faced with urgent decisions, because he has not cultivated instincts, his reactions will always be delayed.
Almost all of Aleister's combat experience came from Heleqin, which meant that Heleqin was Aleister's "master". Heleqin knew every move of his.
It can even be said that... it would be more difficult for Aleister to defeat Helechin in this way than to challenge him directly.
Although Night Demon's own strength could not surpass Heleqin, Aleister still had card buffs. He prepared for two days in advance just to be able to stack buffs on Night Demon.
With his assistance, the outcome of the battle will be reversed.
Aleister knew all of Helechin's mechanisms and abilities, but Helechin had no idea what Aleister was capable of. Helechin's pride as a White Knight prevented him from bypassing the Night Demon and attacking Aleister.
At the same time, the Star Ice and Light of Elysium obtained by Aleister can cause a devastating blow to the Wild Hunt outside of Heleqin - especially the Light of Elysium, which has the ability of [Purification].
Once fully chanted, the outcome of the battle is clear, for the spell only needs to hit to permanently destroy the Wild Hunt, purifying them completely.
Even though Aleister couldn't penetrate Helechin's spell resistance, he could easily pose a fatal threat to Helechin's followers.
At that time, Heleqin would have no choice but to obey Aleister, because after all, they were not mortal enemies and would not tear each other apart.
This future had already appeared in Aleister's mind when he confirmed Helechin's attitude.
...But Aleister didn't want to accept that kind of future.
That was a normal tactic, and it was indeed a way of surpassing the strong by using the weak... But in Aleister's opinion, it was too despicable.
"……interesting."
Aiwass laughed, his blood-red eyes becoming incredibly bright: "That's how it should be, exactly how it should be—"
The suggestion put forward by Helechin was exactly what he wanted!
The deep, dreamlike purple color gradually seeped into the bottom of Aiwas's pupils, and the light of the path of transcendence appeared again.
It was indeed an extremely difficult, almost impossible battle. He was merely a priest, a demonologist... he had barely ever engaged in hand-to-hand combat. And now, Aleister—though transformed into Aiwass, this strong, towering body was merely an illusion, a hollow shell. If seriously wounded, it could shatter into a young girl.
In normal battles, Aleister herself wouldn't have any disadvantages; instead, her small size would have given her an advantage. This was because she was a spellcaster...
But now, Aleister needs to hold this long weapon and fight with others head-on... Just think about it, this is extremely difficult.
Aleister's body wasn't even two-thirds the height of the Thunder Halberd. It was difficult to even swing it!
In other words... as long as she gets seriously injured once, the outcome of the battle is basically decided.
“—I promise.”
But that’s also why there are challenges.
Now manifesting as Aiwass, Aleister was so excited that the purple and red in his eyes intertwined.
If Heleqin had directly accepted Aleister's invitation and become the beast of sin for her and Aiwass... then Aleister would probably feel empty.
——It’s like relying on “favors” and “favors” to coerce the other person into doing something.
But if he really used the Night Demon to fight to the death by any means necessary, and used the followers he valued to threaten him, it would seem that he was inhumane and had forgotten the brief friendship he had with the other party.
On the contrary, it is the best now.
There is no need to worry about anything or be taboo about anything.
Happy and comfortable——
"I will let you call me Master."
Aleister pointed his thunder halberd at Heleqin and declared so.
"snort……"
Heleqin sneered, and his body disappeared briefly, turning into a phantom.
That's not invisibility.
But it was Heleqin's skill that belonged to the Wild Hunt - the "Necromancer Charge" in [Wild Hunt Tactics]!
Heleqin's figure suddenly dived into the world of the dead.
And in the void, one thin frost mark after another bloomed into flowers, and one piece of ice surface after another condensed in the void!
"Evans" suddenly gripped the Thunder Spear tightly. As he concentrated on his defense, time seemed to slow down a lot.
He knew that he was not without a chance of winning.
Challenging an enemy of higher level that is almost impossible to defeat is an act of transcendence; but challenging an enemy that is completely impossible to defeat is an act of foolishness.
——The key lies in the weapons!
There was no doubt that the Thunder Halberd was much more powerful than Heleqin's weapon. Although Heleqin's weapon was once made of Fafner's dragon bone, the long time had almost destroyed it, and it was too fragile to be infused with much power.
If Heleqin threw it away and solidified a new spear purely with the power of dusk, the power would definitely be much stronger than this one. The most important thing is that it must be tough enough.
However, Heleqin was unwilling to abandon it, and instead wanted to use his own power to protect it... because he was a nostalgic undead after all.
Back then, he was far stronger than the Giant Prince, yet he hadn't been able to kill him. The primary reason was the rare pleasure of hunting the Giant Royal Family... but there was also another reason: the rotten spear in his hand could no longer withstand the intense battle.
He didn't want his spear to collide violently with the petrified skin, thus damaging his weapon. For Heleqin, unable to leave Eagle Point Village, it was his only connection to his past. It wasn't until Aiwass blessed him with the Shadow Blade state that Heleqin dispatched the Giant Prince with a few casual shots.
——The reason for all this is that he wants to protect his weapon.
Soldiers use their bodies to protect their weapons. It's like buying a bicycle and then carrying it on your back and running away...
And here lies Aiwas' chance of winning!
The Thunder Halberd is much stronger than Heleqin's weapon in any case!
Suddenly, Aleister's gun shot out like a dragon!
Suddenly, the sound of collision resounded in the void. Aleister's sudden attack suddenly intercepted Helechin's first invisible attack!
The flames blossomed like flowers, and Aleister stumbled back.
In the dark and stormy night, flames appeared one after another.
Aiwass managed to fend off and parry each attack, but each time he became increasingly distraught. To avoid injury, he was constantly forced to lose his balance. Meanwhile, the Ghost Pegasus could carry Heleqin and charge from any angle.
The war spirit that Heleqin possessed allowed him to strike hard at any enemy whose movements were impaired or trapped in a pincer attack - this made each of his attacks more powerful than the last!
——I need a mount!
A thought suddenly popped up in Aleister's mind.
"Leviathan!"
He shouted loudly.
"roar--"
In an instant, the ferocious dragon shark roared and flew into the battlefield.
Aleister turned over and his whole demeanor suddenly changed - what Helechin originally taught him was lance skills, but now it was the complete form!
"A bit of understanding..."
Heleqin's voice sounded hollow: "But maybe it's not enough."
The next moment, a dim light flashed through the air, and Heleqin suddenly broke out from the void!
The last part of the "Necromancer Charge" almost pierced Aleister directly!
The tips of their spears simultaneously stirred up a strong wind - that was Storm Strike!
The howling winds mingled, creating two distinct zones in the sky. The storm was torn apart by it, bending the tree trunks hardened by the dusk, and even the dark clouds were torn in two directions simultaneously!
And immediately afterwards, there were two bolts of lightning as bright as the sun!
——Thunderous wrath!
The attack was completely consistent, but the lightning on Aleister's side was even more intense.
Because Aleister used the second effect of the Thunder Halberd:
Use it again to increase the holder's "Lightning Affinity" level by 3, lasting for one minute!
However, the fierce battle between the spear tips lasted only six or seven rounds before the thunder halberd in "Evans"'s hand was knocked down.
He was shot through the chest and was directly picked off from Leviathan, charging forward with him and nailed to the tree!
Seeing "Evans"'s chest being pierced, Heleqin shook a little.
Aiwass's body was gradually covered with mirror-like cracks. She tried her best to hold the spear that pierced her chest, but she was completely unable to pull it out.
“—That’s it?”
After Heleqin put on the helmet, his voice became hollow and cold and slowly rang out: "I thought you could give me a surprise."
Even if Heleqin only used the power of the fourth energy level, he demonstrated performance that was enough to crush the fifth energy level!
"There will be."
The overlapping weak voices of Aiwas and Aleister rang out vaguely in the rainstorm: "Let Cardinal Fafner...
"—Let me make you another weapon."
Her weak voice suddenly became calm.
The Thunder Halberd that was shot down was suddenly called back by Aleister.
Heleqin immediately realized that she had deliberately lost to expose her flaws!
So, Heleqin swung Aleister back without hesitation to block her own thunder halberd!
But he never expected that Aleister did not slow down the Thunder Halberd - instead, it accelerated it even further!
It penetrated Aleister's body directly from behind and pierced through his chest!
——Thus, the rotten spear that Aleister had fixed on his chest with his hands was cut in half!
Update completed!
Seal Heleqin tomorrow!
