Chapter 30 - The Clash of Light and Darkness
In the solar system, in the asteroid belt, Lena has unfurled a huge air barrier that surrounds Mercury.
"Mercury, I haven't seen you for many years, and you've learned to be invisible, huh?" Lena scoffed.
"Where, it's just that the earthlings are blind." Murchu replied with her sandpaper-like voice.
"Jun has already gone to find the boss of your family, which means that as long as I get rid of you, I can take a vacation on Earth. Die obediently. Lena was the first to attack, her fingertips met, and a white ball of light appeared between her palms, which was obviously not of the same level as the magic used in the Washington.
"Hey, it's too much to underestimate me to use this kind of magic that doesn't even need to sing." Mercury quipped.
"Humph! You're looking down on me! I'm not a kid anymore! Lena pushed her palms, and the ball of light sent a white light the thickness of a wrist forward, shooting straight towards Mercury.
Ink Hill used the ring to block it, only to feel that the ring in his hand was becoming hot and seemed to be slowly melting. Even though the Apocalypse Gold has extremely high heat resistance and thermal insulation, it is not black gold after all, but as her spell becomes as black as a ghost, it is still difficult to block such a light. And this level of ray, Mercury had only heard of one.
"It's ...... Star nucleus rays? I didn't expect her to reach this realm......" Mercury was taken aback, but such a slow-aiming magic could not help her, she flew quickly through this space, and the ray seemed to be not very sensitive, as she expected, the light could not catch up with her. She sped for a moment, and when the ray was a little farther away from her, she seized the gap and projected a ghost behind Lena, instantly transversing.
"Hmph, children are children, let's go back to the Magister Academy, Lena." Mercury sneered, and the ring of his right hand slashed at the back of Lena's neck.
Lena had heard the peculiar sound of air grinding during the ghost-shadow exchange, but she was completely unmoved, and when the ring cleaved, a circle of runes suddenly shone brightly, quickly rising from the soles of Lina's feet, blocking the blow, Lena dropped the star core, held it in her right hand, and then had a shining long sword, and turned around and slashed at Mercury. Mercury borrowed from the rune and moved away from Lena.
This momentary confrontation is normal for the Apocalypse, and the Third Fleet is blowing up. Gates reported the discovery of a strange light source in the asteroid belt, and he couldn't tell whether the light source was large or small, but Paraná learned after careful questioning that it was a luminous luminous object with a very large volume but very small luminous power, about a quarter of the size of the sun. The report was handed to Christina, who had never seen such a miracle. Paraná felt bad and ordered to send reconnaissance drones.
The core was originally the core of a main-sequence star, and a powerful barrier compressed its size and sealed its gravity. It would take a month of hard work by a team of mages to make such a star core, and even if it was to summon it, it would take a considerable amount of time to chant high-level magic. Lena didn't need to chant to use this as a trick, and Mercury was naturally surprised. However, the opening of the barrier is where the rays come out, and if you want the rays to turn, you have to turn the core, and after all, it is too massive to rotate effectively.
This spell is extremely dangerous, if the barrier is broken, the star core will instantly return to its original size, its scattered energy will instantly evaporate the asteroid belt, and gravity will capture Mars and Jupiter and even Earth, thus destroying the entire solar system.
Mercury knew that once the star core got out of control, she would be seriously injured at best, or wiped out along with the artifacts on the earth, she couldn't estimate the power of this star core, so she didn't dare to act rashly.
"Lena, Jun is tasked with protecting the earth. At this time, he actually took out a star core...... Tsk, it's like yours. Mercury scoffed.
"Do you assassinate troops talk so much? Is it suffocated during the mission? Lena replied.
Just when the two of them were talking back and forth, the movements of their hands did not stop at all. Lena's sword of light collided with Mercury's ring in a fierce spark, a mixture of magical energy and apocalyptic gold detritus. The two sides exchanged blades for a few rounds, and neither of them was able to take advantage.
"Mercury, you are no match for me. Have you ever seen a Magister who competes with assassins and never loses the upper hand? Lena asked smugly.
"Cut...... It was the Sword of Light in the Grand Magus's treasury...... Even Lord Motriti's "suffocation" can't help it. If you go head-to-head with it again, I'm afraid it won't last long. "Mercury knew the weapon gap, but he couldn't help it.
In the middle of the support, Mercury had an idea and shouted, "Lena, it's just that your sword of light is powerful, don't use it if you have the ability." ”
Lina's mind is a child after all, and sure enough, she dropped the sword of light and took the star core by the way. Mercury was overjoyed, and a ghost figure appeared behind Lena, and the ring slashed at her.
Lena didn't dodge, and when the ring was about to slash down on her shoulder, it suddenly bounced open, and at that moment a heavy shoulder armor of light blue and almost transparent appeared, but it seemed to have no weight, it was the essentia magic armor in the treasure trove of the Great Magus. Mercury fell short, and was a little angry. But for a while, she didn't know how much Lena had taken from the treasure house, and she couldn't vent her anger.
The Archmage's Treasury contains treasures that have been enchanted by the Archmages of the past. These items, which were not ordinary in the first place, have become the weakest artifacts that can destroy a satellite at will after at least one high-level magic has been added by the Archmage of the past generations. The door of the treasury is protected by nine unknown levels of magic, and only the current Grand Magus and Chief Magus have the keys to the Treasury, and to Mercury's headache, Lena is the Chief Magister. What worries her the most is that no one knows what exactly is in the treasure trove of the archmage, and no one knows how many high-level magic is attached to each treasure that Lena takes out. If it's just one, it's not difficult to deal with, but it is said that some treasures have hundreds of high-level magic attached to them, and they can easily destroy a star with a single swing.
Why don't we have such a treasure trove in our assassination forces...... Mercury thought depressedly. Come to think of it, Lena is still attacking, and Mercury can only barely resist.
However, it was also a good opportunity to test the information of her treasure, and Mercury decided to continue fighting, but she had to leave a way out, and she tried to project the ghost image to Chrisselis, but it turned out to be ......
"Damn! There's a problem with this enchantment, too! Mercury blurted out.
"Well, you know. As I said, I'm not that kid anymore. Lena's voice changed somewhat, completely different from the usual cheerful and crisp voice, becoming slow and cold, full of murderous aura, as if it were another person.
"Hey, it's not good to fight like this any longer......" Mercury was a little flustered, but since there was no way out, it aroused her desire to win, "Okay! Whatever treasure you use, take my move! Hmph, light and darkness, let me see which one is stronger! ”
Mercury summoned a pitch-black dagger, just staring at it as if it was about to be sucked in, her last secret skill, the Blade of the Desolation. This dagger can absorb the corrupting power of Mercury, and everything will be wiped out everywhere it goes. The oceans dried up, the earth turned to dust, and living things turned to powder. According to human understanding of science, it can use unknown methods to dramatically increase the intermolecular repulsion of matter, so that objects can be instantly decomposed into gaseous states. For Lena, this method unknown to humans is a kind of corrupting magic, which only needs to be counteracted by other magic of the corresponding energy.
Mercury wasn't very good at magic, but this trick was the result of her mastering of single-line magic to the extreme, which, combined with the ghost and her own speed, made her invincible when used for assassination. It's just that whether this trick has any effect on the essentia demon armor, she doesn't know the bottom in her heart.
When Lena saw the dagger, she didn't plan to use the magic armor to take the trick, although there was still stronger magic available, but she wanted to use her fame to defeat Mercury and end the centuries-old strife, so she sang the familiar incantation.
"Desolate!"
"Star Smash!"
Mercury threw it with all his might, and the dagger flew towards Lena with a long dark trail, and there was no light in it, as if it wanted to suck all life into it. In the face of this desperate darkness, the light of the sun eclipsed.
A dazzling white light shot out from Lena's hand, and this light converged into a fluctuating pillar of light, which seemed to be extremely unstable. Whenever Lena uses this move, only the person behind her will be spared, and if she stands in front of Lena, even if she is not the target, she will be burned to charcoal, even if she is far away, it is enough to blind. This energy was too powerful for Lena to converge with the precision of a laser weapon, and the random scattering of light would inevitably ripple around.
The Third Fleet's drone happened to appear on the periphery of the barrier and filmed the scene. However, this scene was also the last image it transmitted, and in the next moment, the drone that could withstand thousands of degrees of heat had been burned by the stars.
When light and darkness collided, it was as if a huge shock wave was coming towards the two of them. Mercury's ghostly cloak was stripped away by Starshatter's powerful light, revealing his true humanoid form, and Lena's cloak and skirt were torn by a black wind. When the light faded out, Lena realized that her barrier had been broken by the energy waves aroused by these two moves, and Mercury had long since fled without a trace.
