Chapter 85: Stepping on the Gimbal
The Phase Beast burrowed into the veil, but it immediately noticed something unusual around it, it was dimly lit, barely visible, and cold to the bone. The phaser's eyes widened and its nostrils widened, trying to find the elven summoner in the darkness. But it found nothing, only countless sharp ice edges on the ground.
Finally, the phase beast recognized a trace of abnormal aura in the air, was it the summoner?
It twisted its body again and took a step forward, trying to smell more closely, but at that moment, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
A pair of long, narrow green eyes opened in the darkness, and the biting cold air burst open in an instant, rolling in the air.
The phase beast froze, and the creatures in the darkness made this special lizard feel boundless fear. The scent of the creature in the darkness reminded it of the mighty beast it remembered flying over its head.
As those eyes opened, the magical energy that surrounded them shone brightly, dispelling the darkness of the small space.
The Phase Beast finally spotted the summoner, but it noticed that her appearance had changed drastically, and although her body was still like an elf, her forehead had grown dragon-like horns, and her skin was covered with translucent silver scales. The elven summoner with the Silver Dragon trait stared at the Phase Beast and raised his right hand, then made a gesture to wave it down.
Phasemon immediately sensed the danger, and it immediately began to move into space.
The moment those massive ice vertebrae fell, the Phase Beast finally teleported out of the Veil, but even so, an ice pick still pierced the right side of its abdomen at the last moment of Phase Beast's disappearance, leaving a deep wound that could be seen in the bones.
The sharp pain of the wound caused the Phase Beast to temporarily stop moving, dragging its body to struggle in pain on the grass beyond the green curtain.
The viewing platform suddenly fell silent, and the people looked at the injured phase beast in bewilderment. Just a few seconds ago, everyone thought that the giant phase beast had entered the Green Veil and would take down the summoner named Adelia and end the battle.
But just a few seconds later, the beast teleported out of the curtain in a panic, with a fatal wound on its body.
This result is a silent illustration of a disturbing fact.
The summoner hiding in that curtain not only did not get injured by the lightning spear just now, but also retained extremely terrifying combat ability.
No one on the viewing platform wanted to break the silence, and they began to hide all their speculations in their hearts, silently watching the duel continue.
Just as everyone's attention on the auditorium was attracted by the battle beside Adella, Jiwen also broke through the crumbling earth cliff and broke through the dust in the sky.
When he could see the moment before him again, he found that the short-haired elf he had been chasing was standing in front of her. She didn't run away anymore, but chose to fight to the end.
She folded her palms together again, aiming them at herself, and it seemed that because of the fight against the summoned beast, the short-haired elf had no worries about not being able to kill her opponent. This time she used all her strength, and countless spell energies that had accumulated through her body gathered around her palm, forming a surging vortex.
Xenrael is about to unleash the Lightning Lance again.
As the spell energy reached its limit, the chanting of Xianlai'er's incantation fell just in time. At that moment, the air in front of her palms became the convergence point of the powerful spell energy, and a lightning bolt of unprecedented scale burst out, slashing straight at Jiwen.
This lightning is so strong!
The lightning ionized all the way to the air, and approached so fast that at such a close distance, Givens had no time to dodge.
He stared at the lightning that was about to rush to his side, and instantly waved his fate, then plunged heavily into the ground in front of him, and finally quickly fell to his knees.
At the moment when the lightning was about to hit him, Jiwen saw that at the end of the lightning, the face of the short-haired elf Xianlai'er showed a smile of victory.
In that dazzling flash, lightning struck Given. But as the lightning continued, the smile on Xianlai'er's face continued to fade, and she became stunned.
The summoned beast was obviously hit by the lightning spear that it unleashed with all its might, but it still stood!
Givens was crouching on the ground, holding an open chain ball with one end in Given's hand and the other end tethered to the gauntlet of Fate. The surging lightning evaded Jiwen and struck the "Destiny" that was deep into the ground, and the powerful electricity flowed down the metal blade and into the earth. As Givens expected, there are at least a few iron laws in this world that have not been overturned by magic.
Most of the energy of the lightning spear was channelled directly into the earth by fate, dissipating and formless. Even a small amount of arc hit Given, and it flowed back into fate with the chain ball in his hand.
Although the "fate" carrying the lightning current became too hot to grasp, Givens was almost unscathed, and the offensive and defensive situation had been completely reversed. He got back to his feet, and then rushed towards Xenail.
For the first time, Xianlai watched victory slip through her fingertips, and she had clearly hit the summoned beast, but he miraculously dissolved the lightning spear. And now, he's coming straight at him.
At such a close distance, there was no way she could have escaped.
Xianlai didn't think she could defeat the black-haired warrior who was much larger than her in hand-to-hand combat, but she still bravely raised her staff, and she would not give up even if it was a desperate fight.
"Oops!"
Professor Quezel, who had been following the battle between Givens and Xenrael from afar, suddenly became nervous. The summoning beast's movements were now unusually ferocious, and if it was really a bloodthirsty beast as the Archon said, the candidate named Xianlai'er might be in danger now.
There were also several examiners on the sidelines who also rushed over to find this strange place, but their actions seemed to be too late.
It only took two steps for Givens to rush in front of Faire, who in despair waved the staff in her hand and stabbed Gilven into the body.
Cerlael's last attempt was futile, and Givenn rushed towards the staff, then overlapping it with it.
At that moment, Jiwen saw the loss and unwillingness in Xianlai'er's eyes, because Jiwen was about to take the victory of this selection exam from her hands.
Instead of attacking directly, as the onlookers feared, Givens struck through Celeral's body before turning from behind and striking her in the neck with precision and restraint.
The force of the impact caused Xianlai'er to lose consciousness in an instant without causing more serious damage. I saw that her knees were weak, and her whole body fell to her side on the grass.
As Xian Lai'er fell unconscious, the injured phase beast also disappeared into thin air.
After a short but intense battle, the challengers have won the duel.
The vine curtain in the field spread silently at this moment. Adelia was back in everyone's sight, there were no scars on her mixed body, only a black ablation mark left by a bolt of lightning on her robe. She ignored the gazes of the others and walked straight towards the champion gimbal.
And Jiwen looked up at the silent viewing platform opposite at this moment, and none of those nobles dared to say such presumptuous words just now, and the air was so quiet.
At that moment, an inexplicable joy welled up in Jiwen's heart, and he shouted at Adelia who was walking briskly
"It's time for us to stand on that champion gimbal this time!"
