Chapter 978 Broken Arm!
After resurrecting George, the next to be resurrected was the Griffin Philip - after all, half of the Great Guardian's power lies in the Griffin, and the Air Cavalry without the Griffin is too weak.
…Even with the Griffins, they can’t pose any threat to the Fallen Angels.
The characteristic of the Sky Cavalry class is that it has double combat power... When facing an enemy weaker than themselves, humans and griffins can make up for each other's shortcomings; but when challenging an enemy far stronger than themselves, because the power is ultimately divided into two, the upper limit becomes far from enough!
Philip then immediately rushed into the forest with the Great Guardian and rescued Ligeia!
Shockingly, Ligeia, who had smashed a mountain, was still alive!
Although almost all the bones in her body were shattered and she looked almost like rotten flesh... her extremely rapid breathing could still be seen.
She had already lost consciousness.
However, her flesh and blood seemed to have fallen into a state of frantic activity, resembling a clump of uncontrolled seaweed. Four-fifths of her head had been worn away, and the traditional vital part known as the "brain" had disappeared!
But Ligeia is still alive!
Her spine grew, sprouting from her fractured skull like a ferocious white flower. Her broken, fractured bones, mingled with the shattered flesh, transformed into tentacle after tentacle—each one covered in sharp teeth transformed from bone, and even possessing a mouthpart for feeding. The largest tentacle on her body was once her tail.
Perhaps it was because her "tail" remained intact after being injured that her body, having lost its brain, concluded that "a tail is the correct structure," and so she grew a dense pile of tails.
The Great Guardian just picked up Ligeia, but was bitten by these "long-fanged tails" and his arms were covered in blood!
He is a melee profession of the fifth level!
Even a shotgun shot to the head would only leave a faint black mark. Even a chainsaw couldn't chew through his flesh... but Ligeia's "body" did it!
That distorted vitality was so terrifying. If left alone, Ligeia might not even die... She might devour passing rabbits, deer, or other small animals for nourishment, gradually transforming into a terrifying monster like a Venus flytrap. If there were still small animals around.
Under Saint John's command, Siegfried and the Great Guardian quickly chopped off all the tentacles sprouting from Ligeia's body, along with her deformed and twisted limbs. Only a square piece of pink "lunch meat" remained. Then, Saint John once again used his most common "illumination technique."
Under the light, the piece of luncheon meat grew rapidly and soon took on the form of a human.
At this moment, there was no need to worry about exposing herself - because even after being treated by Saint John, Ligeia had not completely recovered the appearance of the little dragon girl.
Her entire body was covered in silver-white scales, her legs and arms transformed into dragons. Only from the chest up could she still vaguely resemble a human... and she had sprouted a multitude of "wrong" organs. Her body was covered in "eyes" and "mouths," but her face was missing an eye.
——That is the "shedding technique" of the ascension sorcerer.
Each time a Sorcerer approaches death, he becomes stronger, at the cost of gradually losing his human form.
Because Ligeia's molting was interrupted before it was complete... like a butterfly being pulled out of its cocoon while it was still emerging. She was thus deformed into a wrong posture, and her body was in danger of collapsing at any moment.
Because she wanted to "see," a large number of eyes appeared all over her body; because she wanted to use the law of command, she gained many mouths. Because she was severely injured, her body was covered with dense dragon scales...
Victory must be achieved, and Ligeia must undergo a complete "shedding" process again, so that her body will not completely collapse!
And at this time.
The psychic tower in the distance was floating in the sky, slowly approaching.
Cardinal Fafner transformed into an immense, blue-bellied, black dragon, circling high in the sky. Her sinister, dark-gold pupils stared down at the battlefield below.
When the impact reached its limit, the entire space creaked under the heavy burden.
With a loud sound like shattering glass, the triple halo behind Aiwass and the Fallen Angel dissipated simultaneously.
Aiwass and the Fallen Angels slowly fell to the ground, their mana briefly extinguished—even their own gains were dispelled by Paradise Lost.
And at this moment.
Cardinal Valrhona swooped down suddenly!
She spit out a blue-black flame, burning the defenseless Fallen Angel!
Without the protection of "Taurus", Cardinal Valrhona's surprise attack was extremely effective!
The burning caused visible injuries to the Fallen Angel - but the burning lasted only three seconds before several purple rings suddenly erupted from Cardinal Fafner's body, tightly binding him!
——That is the mark of great sin!
The moment her "sin" was detected by the Fallen Angels, she was instantly restrained and completely lost her ability to fight!
Just like Aiwass before, he was completely blocked in the air—
A dozen black chains emerged from beneath the Fallen Angel's cloak, piercing deeply into Cardinal Fafner's body from bottom to top, injecting the power of mortal sin at close range.
“Now!”
Saint John realized that the time for counterattack had come, and he once again bestowed upon everyone the blessing that had been dispelled by Paradise Lost!
Counteracting Aiwass's Paradise Lost had consumed too much of the Fallen Angel's strength. The mana within a fleshed body wasn't infinite, just as the mana stored within the Path Crystals when using higher-level divine arts was limited. Now, the Fallen Angel had essentially transformed his entire body into a "Path Crystal" of higher-level divine arts.
The Fallen Angel was used to the endless power of the Dao in his Celestial Body, and after changing into a physical body, he subconsciously squandered too much of it.
In order to save mana, he no longer directly injects mana into Aiwass through the air to forcibly transform him as before... but uses a more sophisticated method to control him!
At this time, the Spirit Tower also began to condense magic.
Above the Spirit Tower, the suspended First Generation Black Phase opened all three locks on his chest.
The surging power of dusk dissipated, dyeing everything around it a dim yellow.
At the moment when Cardinal Valrhona was restrained, Cardinal Siegfried, who had been watching from behind after being repelled, finally found the opportunity.
Charge forward!
The sword blade shines with the power of the Sand Clock, and he increases the power of the Sand Clock to the limit!
——Five times the speed!!
Siegfried's speed has reached its limit. His skin has even turned red due to the excessive power of the Tao, and the whites of his pupils have completely turned blood red.
Even the Fallen Angel had to react—he couldn't ignore the attack and continue to transform Cardinal Farner, so he used the chained Farner as a meteor hammer and smashed it at Siegfried!
However, Siegfried's strange movement speed allowed him to nimbly avoid Fafner's repeated attacks and approach the Fallen Angels in an instant.
The Fallen Angel threw away Cardinal Fafner, who was still completely sealed by the Sin Brand, and struck back at Siegfried with the same swiftness!
But this time, even others noticed it.
The Fallen Angel is indeed a little tired!
Before, when he was wearing armor, he could easily fight back against Siegfried, but at that time, Siegfried didn't even have the strength to fight back and was instantly fatally injured.
And now, although the Fallen Angel has clearly released the constraints of his power, he is still entangled by Siegfried and cannot get rid of him in a short time.
Although Siegfried was previously at triple speed and has now increased to five times speed... it's true that the Fallen Angels have become visibly weaker!
He is not invincible!
It was just that they were too powerful before. Without Aiwass's attack, they couldn't even see the limits of the Fallen Angels...
After the collision in Paradise Lost, everyone realized with great clarity that the "limit of the Fallen Angels" did exist!
Even the Fallen Angels themselves were aware of this.
He urgently needed to create some space to buff himself, heal himself, and restore his mana...
However, despite Siegfried's life-threatening and hysterical entanglement, he was unable to escape from Siegfried who had entered the five-times speed mode - the five-times speed mode was completely able to keep up with, and even surpass, the Fallen Angel's normal speed!
Just then.
——The King of the Wild Hunt comes roaring with the wind!
Heleqin was extremely angry when he saw the bound Fafna!
As soon as he appeared, he sneaked into the Dusk Realm without saying a word and launched a sneak attack on the Fallen Angels without any honor at all!
The attack was extremely brutal—the dragon spear appeared out of thin air with a humming sound, and stabbed at the Fallen Angel from the void!
——Undead Charge!
"...The King of the Wild Hunt?"
Fallen Angel frowned slightly, thinking that there was something wrong.
He was entangled in the frenzied Siegfried, unable to distance himself from him—and at five times the speed, Siegfried was no longer so easy to catch. He could only strike Siegfried again and again... However, Saint John's healing always arrived in time, sending Siegfried through life and death several times, but he still clung to him, preventing the Fallen Angel from leaving!
The Fallen Angel couldn't find a chance to cast a spell, but now that the King of the Wild Hunt was attacking, he could only waste a lot of mana to fight the enemy again.
He poured his magical power into the wings behind him—he spun his body, transforming them into sharp black blades, which drew out streaks of purple light and slashed towards the lance and Heleqin who was holding it!
This is a spiral counterattack that can send Siegfried flying with one blow, a special martial art that only winged beings can use.
Despite being a little exhausted, he managed to temporarily force Cardinal Siegfried back. He knew how powerful this attack was. If he was caught in it, he would be torn to pieces!
Even the King of the Wild Hunt can only exert the power of the sixth level at most under the suppression of the Sand Clock.
This blow was enough to force him back and block his sneak attack—
However, the Fallen Angels did not know that Heleqin was not in his normal state at this time.
——[Enchantment: Dryad·Moon Spirit (Fool)]
——[Equipment: Thunderbolt Halberd (Wheel of Fortune)]
With the blessing of the "fusion card" of two wind-attribute cards, Heleqin's overall attributes were temporarily increased by one tenth!
In a top-tier duel like this, even the slightest difference in power could snowball into a disadvantage. And a full 10% boost to all attributes… gave Heleqin power that surpassed even the exhausted Fallen Angel!
Heleqin forcibly took the attack launched by the Fallen Angels - exchanging injuries for injuries is definitely worthwhile!
The undead charge's invisibility-breaking attack actually forcibly broke through the wings' protection and pierced through the Fallen Angel's left shoulder blade from behind!
Blood immediately splattered out.
——The blood is red.
"Well……"
Fallen Angel groaned, the unfamiliar pain bringing an expression of disbelief to his face.
——He is bleeding!
He was actually injured!
The last person who hurt him was the Snake Father...
And before that, as Lucifer, as the Fallen Angel, he had never been hurt by anyone even once!
That moment of distraction gave the Fallen Angel a very brief flaw - it was only a moment of distraction, but Siegfried seized the opportunity.
He took the opportunity to launch a pursuit attack, which also hit the Fallen Angel!
Although the pursuit was launched after the Fallen Angel was injured, the two wounds appeared almost at the same time.
This is the manifestation of the authority of time!
——The moment he was unable to defend himself due to his injured shoulder, Siegfried’s holy sword cut off his left forearm!
Update complete! It's another 7,000-word update!
Forget it, I won’t write on time anymore. I’ll just post it as soon as I finish writing... It’s already 9:30 in the morning, and I’ll be awake until the evening. If I write on time, it will be difficult to correct typos or something!
