Chapter 65 Heavy Blow
Joachim's big move naturally means that this is the final blow in the true sense of the word.
With the end of the battle on Arios's side, once he intervenes in the battle on this side, the balance that was barely maintained will be broken in an instant - Arios does not have the power to strike a decisive blow, but as a master who has undergone a lot of training and actual combat drills, his efficiency in the use of physical strength and technology is much higher than that of Helriga who is directly crushed with impunity under the bonus of "Dragon Form".
If it were just containment, Arios would probably only be more efficient than Heliga. After all, even Levy, who is relatively not very good at trembling and prefers quick battles, can easily control the out-of-control ancient dragon. And once that existence wrapped in golden light and flames unleashed the next demonic energy that shook the heavens and the earth, it was all over.
Therefore, Joachim had no choice but to unleash the last trump card, the forbidden art that no one in the "Order" had successfully used since ancient times, to summon the demon of the underground Yellow Spring, the "Sikong Three Beasts Singing".
It wasn't that powerful magisters had tried before—but all the research notes and reports, as well as the records of those who came after them, made it clear that they couldn't withstand such intense pressure, and they all died violently. Joachim didn't have the guts to do this, but he did so under the double pressure of a large amount of "true knowledge" and being pushed into a desperate situation.
Looking at the bewildered gazes, the instinctive panic, and the feeling of getting closer and closer to success—Joachim felt more excited than ever. For him, this is the only and last hope.
However, the most ironic thing - it happened after all.
From the very beginning of the battle, Joachim knew that the boy in front of him had abilities that did not belong to this world—the power of the roar turned into substance, weapons and props of different abilities, and all kinds of magic that he had never studied before, but which were incredibly powerful.
At the same time, the young man made a series of preparations for his future in the empire, from the construction of the capital chain to the establishment of a network of contacts, to the prestige earned in various regions, which made him understand that the person in front of him was a good trader at all. In this way, many things are firmly in his hands. He will be targeted, and it is nothing more than because he is an obstacle in front of the network he wants to build.
However, the brief engagement still didn't allow him to draw accurate conclusions - she didn't know how long this astonishing state would last. Those memories that did not belong to this world flashed by, making it difficult for him to explore the truth, all he knew was that this power was by no means something he could resist when it exploded in an instant. Therefore, from the very beginning, he understood that he must be entangled with the other party to the death, and he must not give the other party a chance to prepare and adjust.
However, despite all his calculations, he was still caught in a weak spot - just as a powerful battle was about to end, the "Sword Saint of the Wind" joined the battlefield and turned the tide - not only improving the fact that Helriga had been unable to attack with all his strength because he was worried about his companions being affected, but also completely changed Joachim's mentality - since Arios appeared, he couldn't help but be distracted from the other party in the battle from time to time, as if he was afraid that Arios would suddenly flash in front of him and cut him in the next second.
It was this kind of wandering from time to time that gave Helriga the opportunity for the blow just now. In just a few seconds, even the incomplete magic chant directly pierced Joachim's thick shell, and the huge energy turned Joachim's body upside down. And due to the existence of healing magic runes in this composite magic, Joachim, who was composed of ominous miasma, was naturally a heretic that had been eliminated. The two energies alternately collided in his body, making Joachim very uncomfortable.
In such a situation, how useful would Joachim be if he could use the forbidden spells recorded in the history of the Order?
And it's like a deliberate mockery - the weird "singing" she induces is the carrier of power transmission - and the means of response used by Helriga is a clean, popping noise.
“Fus Ro Dahh!” The third syllable of the dragon rune was deliberately accentuated by the tone - the most primitive and violent dragon roar "unloading power" - the weak such as Ulfric can roar the old city walls to tremble, what about the real dragonborn, at the end of their heyday, to use this earth-shattering roar?
A huge mass of air exploded in Joachim's chest, and the pure energy from the compressed air squeezed the invulnerable steel skin of Joachim's outer layer sizzling. The most important thing is that this power from another world has directly crushed the technique that Joachim had just launched with great difficulty.
The turbulence of air pressure created by the spitting eyes made everyone's ears feel momentarily deaf at that moment. Under this incomparably huge power, even the high platform where the ball where Kia lived was located, which carried the crystallization of ancient alchemy, and the laboratory that Joachim had carefully renovated, were all blown to pieces in an instant. A few meters of rock was cut off, and the fragments disintegrated in the air, and the stalactites on the ceiling fell one after another like torrential rain.
The ancient dragon's words, now the storm of power—like a human torso being directly hit by a battering ram, accompanied by a strange explosion of the epidermis finally being torn apart, Joachim's massive body was directly ejected by the air pressure of the explosion, and it flew several meters directly. The underground palace, which has survived thousands of years of wind and rain, and has survived countless geological disasters, large and small, has also been affected by this force, and a crack hundreds of feet long has also been struck on the tiled marble floor.
The next moment, there was not a second of respite—Joachim's already shattered outer skin was suddenly hit by a series of merciless magical powers.
The scene where Heliga had crushed Joachim with a sea of magical energy - reappeared. And this time, Joachim no longer has a chance to turn the tables.
Without the protection of the outer layer, all the plasma, flames, and ice picks pierced mercilessly into the miasma-stained flesh. Joachim's inhuman body struggled in pain, but could not scream.
Heliga's eyes were gloomy - at this moment, he no longer spoke, but quietly drove one magic energy after another, whistling and rushing towards the live target that could only be beaten passively.
Grievances—Anger pervades Joachim's heart, which is already controlled by drugs. Unlike just now, this is already his last trump card - because of this, the last string in his mind that has been struggling to support reason has finally been completely broken.
