Chapter 159: The Battle from the Outside
From Zhou Xiaoning's unfolding of the king's army to the end of the battle, it only took more than forty minutes before and after, except for the south, all the chosen ones of the island country died, which was also a big shock to the demon army.
But because the strongest Yuan Lu Zhi was still there, the morale of the demon army did not drop too much.
At this time, the battlefield has become a pot of porridge, with a radius of dozens of miles, all of which are battlefields where the two sides are fighting.
The [Heavenly Crusader] ended because Shizunai and Vasilisa's source power and magic power were exhausted, although it caused casualties of more than 100,000 demon soldiers and demon elites, but for the demon army, the pain was a little painful, but it was not so painful, and the remaining nearly 500,000 demon army continued to launch a fierce attack on the city wall defense line.
Fortunately, those laser weapons have been fully charged, and the mage army has also recovered some mana, and the re-entry of these two forces has caused the pressure on the defenders of the city wall to plummet, and they have resisted the stormy attack of the demon army.
The perspective moved to the outside of the city wall defense line, and in the southeast corner of the battlefield, because the three demons were dragged by the green dragon, Youji and Woban respectively, the hundred ghosts could be said to be leaderless in the group of dragons, and they could not stop the strong attack of the Five Elements Army at all. Now the hundred ghosts have curled up into a ball, and with the help of the power of the [Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Map], they can barely defend themselves. Because of this, the black fog that originally shrouded a radius of ten miles has now shrunk to a radius of more than 100 meters, which can only envelop a hundred ghosts.
The Five Elements Army has completed the encirclement of the Hundred Ghosts, and the five divine beasts cooperate with the battle array, constantly attacking the Hundred Ghosts, no matter how magical the [Hundred Ghosts Night Walking Map] is, I'm afraid it won't last long. If one of the three demons can get rid of the entanglement of the three Qinglong and go back to preside over the night walk of the hundred ghosts, there is still a little room for maneuver, otherwise after today, the hundred ghosts will become legends again.
As for the duel between the mid-range masters of the two sides, there were casualties among each other, but because the two realms were pressed by Zhou Xiaoning's sisters on this side, they had a slight upper hand, but it was not so easy to further expand the results.
Now that we've said that, we have to mention the battle between Ace and Titch.
The defeat at the beginning fell to Titch, and as a result, the navy found an opportunity to launch the top war. If it weren't for Zhou Xiaoning's intervention, the Whitebeard Pirates would have suffered heavy losses, not to mention, even Whitebeard's father would have been killed. Although none of his partners, including Whitebeard's father, ever blamed him, Ace could not forgive himself, after all, he was too weak, and if he had been able to defeat Titch in the first place, it wouldn't have happened.
Ace can be regarded as shameful and brave, since the end of the top war, he has not relaxed his training. Moreover, he is also a frequent visitor to the Adventure Guild, challenging various powerful beings to hone himself, while also earning contribution points to exchange for things that will help him become stronger.
To this day, Ace's progress is not insignificant, the strength of the late sixth order is second only to Whitebeard, even if you look at the entire One Piece world, he is also a powerhouse who can be ranked in the previous life.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace played his signature move, but the difference is that his flames have changed from orange to bright white, and the temperature has reached more than 2000°C. You should know that the temperature of magma is generally between 900-1200°C, and even if it reaches its maximum value, it is only 1300°C. If Ace and Akainu are allowed to fight again at this time, it will be difficult to say who will restrain whom.
Titch didn't just fight Ace, he had already seen the power of this move, but he didn't dare to take it hard.
"Shadow Cannon!"
Titch fires an energy cannon, which is a ranged attack he developed based on Vic's magic light cannon. However, compared to the magic light cannon, Titch's shadow cannon is inferior in destructive power, but it has an additional corrosive power, but anything that comes into contact with the shadow cannon will be eroded by the dark energy and eventually destroyed. Even Ace's Fire Fist is no exception.
The two powerful attacks met in mid-air, without any abnormal sound, and it looked so unremarkable, but in fact, it was a hidden murderous intention.
Titch wanted to use the power of darkness to devour the Fire Fist, and even traced back to Ace and swallowed Ace as well. Ace, on the other hand, wants to overwhelm the darkness with the power of the flames and incinerate Titch to the ground.
Both of them have the intention of killing, and neither of them will give up easily. It's just that due to the characteristics of the dark fruit, in this kind of competition of pure strength, Ace still suffers a lot.
"Ace!"
Marco saw that Ace was faintly falling into the disadvantage, as if he had gone to help him, but was unexpectedly stopped by Whitebeard.
"Marko, don't bother Ace and let him finish this battle on his own, or he'll never let go."
"Dad, I understand that, but ......"
"I know what you're worried about, if Ace is really in danger, I'll take action."
Whitebeard clenched the naginata in his hand, apparently not as calm as he seemed.
Now that Daddy Whitebeard has said this, Marco has nothing more to say, so he has to continue to deal with the little minions around him. It's just that Marco still devotes some of his energy to Ace, once Ace is defeated, he will definitely rescue him as soon as possible, after all, they are family.
Ace had all his attention on defeating Titch at this time, otherwise with his domineering attainments now, it would be impossible not to hear the conversation between Whitebeard and Marco.
But Tiqi, he could hear it clearly, and when he thought of the two great enemies around him, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
"It's now!"
Ace accurately captured the timing of Titch's distraction, and suddenly burst out with a force, shaking Titch's shadow cannon away, buying himself time to launch his ultimate.
"Fire God!"
Ace saw a red crystal thrown into his mouth and bit it. In the next second, the surging power of the fire element raged in his body, but because he was a person with the ability to burn fruits in the natural system, and he had also comprehended the law of flames, he quickly controlled this sudden power.
[Heart of Flame], this is the red crystal that Ace just used, the grade is as high as six stars, and it can be bred for thousands of years in a place where the fire element energy is abundant, before it can condense such a one. Whether it's used to craft a fire-type artifact or embedded in a staff, amplifying the power of fire-based spells is a good choice. In addition to this, it also has the effect of enhancing the strength of fire elemental creatures.
Although Ace is a human, after eating the burning fruit, he has the ability to be elementalized, he can turn into a flame, and he is immune to ordinary physical attacks, theoretically speaking, this is also a fire element creature.
At the beginning, when Ace exchanged the [Heart of Fire] from the Adventure Guild, he had the mentality of taking a gamble, but he didn't expect him to succeed in the bet. He has the strength he has now, and it is inseparable from the promotion of the [Heart of Flame]. But now, in order to defeat Titch, he had to use this brutal method to force out all the power of the [Heart of Flame].
But anyone who is around Ace and whose perception is not too bad can feel that Ace's momentum is soaring rapidly, breaking through the peak of the sixth order in a few minutes, and approaching the seventh order.
With the increase in momentum, Ace's body also changed synchronously, he could no longer maintain the posture of a human, and completely turned into a humanoid flame, and continued to grow larger, and finally directly turned into a flame giant more than twenty meters high.
"Teach, give me death!"
Ace felt that he had this inexhaustible power in his body, and this feeling fascinated him. But he didn't indulge in it, he remembered his purpose, he was going to kill Teach!
In the face of Ace's huge flaming fist, Titch once again felt the feeling of facing death, and if he couldn't catch this punch, he would definitely hang up.
"Damn, you defeated subordinate, don't be too arrogant for me!"
Titch roared, mobilizing the dark energy with all his might, and delivered his pinnacle blow, the Dark Cave Path!
The flames and darkness collided violently, and the surrounding area was filled with intertwined dissipating energy, below the sixth order, but anyone who was caught in it would definitely end up with no bones left. Even a powerhouse like Whitebeard had to unleash the ability of the Shock Fruit in order to barely stay where he was, waiting for the outcome of the battle.
……
At the same time, on the battlefield in the air, the flying dragoons and the elites of the three clans have completely suppressed those green-skinned monsters, killing them so that they can't form an army and fly all over the sky, and it is only a matter of time before they are completely annihilated.
Lias and the others pestered the beluga whale to chase and fight, and the huge body of the beluga whale was simply the best live target, and every attack did not miss. It's just that the defense and recovery ability of the beluga whale are quite amazing, they have been fighting for so long, leaving a lot of wounds, but they are not enough to make the beluga whale hurt their muscles and bones.
The beluga whale was originally a summoned creature that Zero subdued with a heavy ball, but now that Zero has died, the beluga whale was lucky and was not inherited by Zhou Xiaoning, but recovered his free body. However, the white whale is a brutal monster, so it will not stop fighting because it has got rid of Zero's control, and without restraint, its wildness has been completely stimulated, and its combat power has risen instead of decreasing.
Originally, Lias and the others had gradually suppressed the beluga whale, and it was only a matter of time before they were killed. But the sudden outbreak of the beluga whale inevitably caught everyone off guard, if it weren't for the speed of Kiba Yudou fast enough, the Tacheng kitten was almost swallowed by the beluga whale and became the one forgotten by everyone.
Seeing this scene with her own eyes, Lias was really scared, and she always regarded her family as family. And just now, she almost lost one, how can she endure it?
Lias inherited the redhead of her father and the destruction magic of her mother's line, it can be said that she has gathered the excellent bloodlines of two superior demon families, and the background is profound, far beyond the ordinary superior demon, there is a powerful force in her body, once there is a violent mood swing, this power will burst out, such as now.
"It is unforgivable to dare to hurt my lovely family!"
An ominous red magic swirled around Lias, and an oppressive aura permeated her surroundings.
The wild instinct makes beluga whale feel bad, as if something bad is about to happen. It subconsciously wanted to escape, but it angered Lias, and wanted to leave without paying a price, how could there be such a good thing in the world.
Lias opened her palm, and more than a dozen magic arrays appeared in front of her, large arrays and small arrays, layered on top of each other. This is the stacking spell in the Advanced Spellcasting Technique, which multiplies the mana at the cost of more mana. Theoretically, as long as the magic power is sufficient and can be perfectly controlled, it can be infinitely stacked. Through this technique, even a fireball technique can be strengthened to the point of a forbidden spell.
Of course, this is only a theoretical possibility, but it is not easy to do. With each stack, the mana cost and control difficulty doubled, and most advanced casters only stacked three to five times on average, while a dozen stacks like Lias's were rare.
Lias's destructive magic power was already extremely destructive, and it was stacked more than a dozen times at this moment, and the power was so strong that it was close to the seventh order.
"Boom!"
With a blast, the Destruction Cannon pierced Moby Dick's body, leaving a basin-sized penetrating wound.
However, the white whale is not a powerful demonic beast that terrifies countless people in the Zero World, such an injury is only a serious injury for it, but it is still not enough to be fatal.
"Aang!"
The beluga whale was in pain and let out a roar. Immediately afterward, the battlefield began to fill with a thicker and thicker white mist, and the visual distance was compressed to one meter, beyond which nothing could be seen except for the vast white patch.
"Everyone, beware, beware of the Beluga whale sneak attack!"
Lias gathered the crowd, back to back, carefully guarded. From time to time, they would hear screams, and it was clear that the beluga whale was not going far, but was continuing to kill.
"Not good, on it!"
Yuto Kiba had been observing his surroundings, and he noticed an abnormal surge in the fog above, and he reacted instantly, immediately alerting everyone.
"There's also down there!"
Jenova also caught a black shadow flashing from below, looking at the size and silhouette, it was definitely a beluga whale.
"Doppelganger...... Tsk, what a troublesome ability. ”
Lias habitually bit the nail of her thumb, before going to battle, she had carefully understood the ability of the white whale, [Vanishing Mist] they had already seen it, but anyone killed by the white whale in this mist, or something that was devoured, would disappear from the world and erase its memories in the minds of others. Then there is [Split], when the beluga whale encounters danger, it will split into three to fight, as long as the main body does not die, the split body can be resurrected infinitely.
However, this is not without a price, while splitting, Moby Dick also divided his power equally between the two divisions, and the defense will also be reduced, compared to before, it is easier to kill.
"These two should just be splinters, Yuto, Jenova, you two entangle them, Gaspar, you take the moment and freeze them. Others, join me in finding out the body of the beluga whale and putting an end to it! ”
Lias quickly made a targeted strategic adjustment, gambling on the honor of the Gimmonri family to destroy this demonic beast.
