Chapter 64: Success
The addition of Arios completely changed the entire battle situation.
In terms of strength, he is the "Sword Master of the Wind", the inheritor of the Principle of the Wind. Even the mafia members who have been completely demonized are just some monsters in his eyes that they have never seen before. If Helica's fighting style is an unrefined release of energy, representing wildness and nature, then Arios's brilliant movements and breathtaking skills are definitely the persistence of human thinking in the way of the sword.
Countless times of knife swinging practice have forged his stunt of stepping forward and falling into one person in ten steps. The fighting spirit of slaughter, a sword that seems to be able to tear even a boulder, is the "Snow Slash", and the majestic energy, the pace that can even shock the air, is the famous move "Li Wind" in the "Eight Leaves and One Knife Flow".
His addition avoided the possibility of further harm to the people who had already experienced twists and turns, which undoubtedly relieved many people present, including Estelle, who was already scarred by the fact that she couldn't hold on to the killer, and the two support department men who could finally let go of protecting their female companions. And after perceiving that familiar aura, Helliga can finally relax and deal with the monster in front of him with peace of mind.
Heliga knew that Joachim's high-intensity combat style would not last long with the thrill of madness, but he himself could not drag the battle for too long. The "Dragon Form" is a burst of energy after activating all the dragon souls in the body, but that is Milak's stunt after all - even Bernardo can't use it as freely as its founder. And for Hailiga himself, it is even more discounted. It's even harder to say if he can't hold it up first—after all, Joachim has proven that he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.
"It's time to get serious." Having made up his mind, the fighting spirit around Heliga suddenly erupted again, and then he slammed into the huge Joachim. This sudden outburst caught Joachim off guard, but with his massive size and mass, Joachim was able to stabilize his body.
Immediately afterward, Joachim felt an inexplicable danger in the boy's somewhat surprising movements.
Connected to the leylines, the whole space began to tremble.
The anti-gravity space formed by the triple ring once again made the gravel and dust around the boy float in the direction of gravity under the strange fluctuations of magic energy.
This was a blow that pierced through heaven and earth - a year ago, the "Floating City" had caused the "Angel" Wiseman to fall.
A torrent of pure energy—a light that compresses power to the extreme, capable of tearing apart the roots.
At that time, after the same onslaught and failing to take down his opponent - in order to stop the soon-to-be-detached Wiseman, who would suffer endlessly once he let go, Heliga did his best to deliver this earth-piercing blow just before his energy ran out.
And now - will this familiar scene be repeated again?
Helica, who was surrounded by the surging position of magical energy, suddenly felt a powerful repulsive force. The invisible force field was desperately expanding, squeezing the skin on his body, trying to knock him to the side.
"Die!" Joachim, who was no longer human, let out a roar in his throat like the trembling of bellows. In his desperate struggle, a writhing flash of lightning erupted from the palm of the demon's hand. With a wave of his hand, the lightning took advantage of the moment to slam into Heliga.
Immediately afterward, the lightning slammed around Heliga's wrist like a poisonous snake that was pleased to hunt his heart.
"Did you get it?" Both Joachim and the onlookers were anxious to see what would follow—in such a head-on confrontation, it would still be extremely difficult to create a big magic. Even if the "Dragon Form" has opened up all the magic channels, it is still very difficult to release the extremely high-level spells without the assistance of the magic array.
"So...... It's weakness that limits your imagination. Heliga's unhurried voice came from the other side—his pupils contracted sharply, and just as Joachim's counterattack was about to touch his skin, an equally swift bolt of lightning shot out of Haliga's left hand, clinging to a stalactite at the top of the hall, and then a powerful pull struck, pulling Haliga out of Joachim's striking circle.
The entire ground was shattered by the bombardment of lightning, and the marble floor that had gone through the vicissitudes of life cracked into hundreds of pieces of rubble of various sizes and splashed everywhere.
Jumping gently from the top of the ceiling, Heligah stood before Joachim once more, beneath the smoke and dust, with deep pity.
"You've lost." As Helliga spoke softly, it was like a deflated ball—a thick black miasma flowed out of a small hole in the demon's lower abdomen. It looks more like humans are losing blood than the release of energy.
Before Joachim's attack could be launched, Haliga's magic had managed to penetrate Joachim's body.
It's just that, compared to the massive blow on the "Floating City", this time it is just a small test in comparison.
On the one hand, he doesn't have the help of two top masters by his side - Arios is still fighting with the members of the mafia, and the others have long since lost their ability to fight. Although it is okay to grit your teeth and hold on, it will definitely hurt considerably.
As a result, Haliga spared his hand—a blow that pierced the most mirasma-rich part of Joachim's body. And as the Majin's huge body slowly fell, victory seemed to be a matter of course.
- Is that really the case?
The blackened, scarred demon exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then, the spiritual pressure of the entire space began to rise and fall.
A whispered murmur rang out from the depths of the earth—exploding in my mind. The syllables are complex and the tones are strange, and they are by no means capable of being pronounced by humans.
"Is this ......" Arios stabbed down the last mafia member still standing, "Joachim's bottom-of-the-box stunt?" ”
The sound became clearer and clearer, from the beginning of the scattered, to the current gradual fusion, forming a very strange atmosphere, permeating the air, the spiritual pressure flickering. Although there is no fear in his heart, the instinct of a certain creature makes Estelle and the others continue to slowly retreat.
The next moment, a strange energy spread along the entire space—a huge wave of sound swept through the strange notes, exploded in the air, and exploded in everyone's mind.
This is Joachim's last stunt, a spell that the Order has been secretly passing down and no one can bear. But now, it is being used by Joachim, who has reached a desperate situation.
In the face of Joachim's final attack, Haley took a deep breath.
Then - an even greater impact swept through the entire second-floor platform.
