Chapter 62: Hand-to-hand combat
The sudden huge impact made Heliga, who had entered the "Dragon Form", secretly surprised. It was the last desperate roar of the Majin when it was suppressed - not without any cost. The act of using the resonance of the miasma to detonate the left hand is naturally the result.
The overwhelming miasma is no longer just blowing to the extent that people's faces hurt - everyone present, without protection, felt an unbearable sting pain almost like a knife cutting flesh. Even Helica, who was protected by the pale golden flame on the outside, felt a little pressure in this instantaneous outburst.
Giving up all dignity for the sake of that unspeakable madness—even now that he realizes that he is nothing more than a pawn. Heliga had fully grasped what it meant to be a wounded beast roar. In that brief moment, at the moment when Joachim made up his mind, the power was even stronger than the Seven Treasures—stronger than the gifts of the gods.
The miasma dispersed, and the pain and pressure that everyone felt gradually dissipated with the help of various dispersal spells and healing techniques. Joachim rose to his feet again, and raised his head with difficulty as he let out a muffled wail of pain. The messy burns and scorching wounds on his body had begun to repair again under the weaving of the miasma.
Joachim will never let go of the opportunity to regain the initiative this time. In any case, he is also a true "demon" - the power he can wield is far beyond that of ordinary demonic beasts. Driven by him, Qiyao's power was used by him for a short time. The storm was raised, and the people were crying bitterly, and it was difficult to stand firm; The water roars, and the cold makes it impossible to hide. The flames ablated, and even the marble, which had endured hundreds of years of vicissitudes, showed signs of melting in this blazing temperature, and the corroded surface cracked with a real crisp sound.
"Is this real?" Seeing that Joachim had used his power in a completely desperate and frenzied way—one after another stone pillars with the thick mouth of the bowl were easily wrung off by him like broken chopsticks, and the temple, which had survived thousands of years of vicissitudes and turmoil, was also crumbling. Under the sudden counterattack, even if it was the time for the next magic circle to be built in those ten seconds, it was difficult for Hailiga to pull it out.
“uld-NahKest!” Magic can't solve the problem, so use the dragon's roar - with the help of the "Whirlwind Whisper", Helriga easily distanced Joachim by more than ten meters in an instant - but then the slightest chill from behind him makes him shiver. Turning his head, he saw that several crystal cones formed by the guiding energy were revealing a little bit of coldness, only a few centimeters away from his body.
"Roar!" Not just magic, but also reaction speed - after completely activating the power in his body through the extreme method of self-harm, Joachim was able to gain a huge increase in his abilities for a period of time. His scarlet eyes were like a determined homing missile, and no matter what means Haliga used, as long as he was still in the halls of the temple, he could not escape Joachim's grasp.
"What a trouble...... "Helliga dodged a frost shot from Joachim's hand with a lunge, he wasn't interested in testing whether the energy shield of the "dragon form" could stop the energy cone that Joachim conjured. But he understands that this is the first person in this time who has been able to capture Heliga's "Whirlwind Whisper" purely by dynamic vision. Even what Arios, who is known for his speed, may not be able to do, can be easily achieved by Joachim, which shows how far the energy in his body has been raging now.
Since you can't dodge, why not just attack it? Halliga gritted her teeth, giving up the idea of distancing herself and looking for a new chance to form a circle, and instead lunged under Joachim with an arrow, and then the sword blossomed - even if the moonstone "cold crack" itself couldn't pierce your hard skin? I'll just rely on the continuous blows of speed to break through your seemingly impregnable defenses!
Cold-chilled afterimages were pulled out of the air—Helriga moved so fast that in a second, dozens of heavy blows landed on the same spot beneath Joachim—the result of the dragon's "elemental rage". Not to be outdone, Joachim roared as he stretched out his remaining arm and grappled with Heliga.
Inside the main hall, there was a loud noise—even though no magic was used, it was still exaggeratedly intimidating in hand-to-hand combat that relied solely on speed and strength. At least Estil and the others, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but smack their tongues.
"No...... It's not going to help at all. Estelle complained, "Just a fluctuation will ......"
"After all, neither he nor Joachim are in a normal state right now...... That's a force that even the Nexus is afraid of. Joshua said, "In the face of a monster like Joachim, the usual means of attack are inherently useless. ”
"That's what Arios mentioned...... Is Helriga in its "complete" form? Seeing that Heliga was already so fast that there was an afterimage, without fear of hand-to-hand combat with the demon who was dozens of times larger than himself, stirring up dust, Lloyd muttered to himself: "I heard that this power ...... Did he ever appear in "Liber Mutation"? ”
"yes...... During the decisive battle with Wiseman. But at that time he had Levi and the secret ace of the Church by his side......" Joshua said, "and we didn't see the scene...... However, it is said that it was Helliga who finally gave the "Ring of Radiance" a blow, leaving it completely separated from Wiseman. ”
"That's pretty good. At least that's the rate of action...... Tsk, I really can only think about it. Randy saw some clues with his excellent dynamic vision, "This way of moving...... If you don't have anything to protect you, you'll break your body...... Let's not talk about the amazing speed. ”
However, both Esther and Joshua have a question - why did the "Ring of Radiance", which was easily solved by Helica, last much longer than Joachim now? Is it really just because of Levi and Kevin?
"How many of you...... Be careful. Theo's wide-area perception is in effect again, "The miasma from the battle over there has already triggered our side...... Hmmm......"
"......" As a top assassin, Joshua is naturally also a master of discovery. He had no time to take care of it when he watched Heliga fight, but now after Tyo's reminder, he also realized that something was wrong.
"Ready...... Take on even more difficult enemies. ”
