Chapter 1165: Eye of the Storm

The collision between the two made the land boil suddenly.

With the sound of sword blades, lightning shot down from the sky, smashing the surrounding jungle to pieces. The black light of the Demon Slayer covered the surface of the body, weakening the blow of the golden lightning like armor. The magic stirred up the sky and rained heavily, and in this dense curtain of rain, the scene of the battle between the two seemed to be the center of the storm.

Whether it's Ash or Usluk, their movements are beyond the limits of the past, and movements that are difficult for ordinary people to see are just the norm for both sides. Each shot would draw a distinct trajectory in the rain, and the wave of air caused by the collision would explode the raindrops around it, and its sound was like a muffled thunder, as if it was not humans and demons fighting, but two burly giants fighting each other with all their might.

"Whew...... Phew...... "Ash felt that the magic in his body was completely out of control, and they were devouring flesh bit by bit, leaving his body full of holes. After crossing a vertex, the sharp pain of the backlash became numb.

However, this is by no means a good sign, and the loss of pain means that the spirit is weakened, and the ability to control the body is greatly reduced.

In fact, she was no longer able to guide all the lightning strikes with precision, and could only allow her manic magic to pour out unbridled, and this unwarranted expense further increased the burden on her body. The two are snowballing, so that the scales are quickly tilting towards the side of the collapse.

"I see, is this the consequence of a direct fusion with the source of magical power?" the demon slayer also looked a little tired, and wiped the blood from his face after forcing back the attack of the ashes, "Although you have gained far more power than ordinary people, you are also being consumed by power. I wonder what will become of you if you continue like this, burned to ashes by magic, or completely become a monster that has no reason and can't even be called human?"

"Whatever I becomes, it's only after I kill you. The ashes shook off the rain from the sword and replied in a deep voice.

"Faith and persistence?" Ersluk sneered, "it does look like a human would speak...... Unfortunately, the long years have proven that these are only insignificant things. ”

Ash no longer answered, but rushed at it with his sword raised.

After this short but intense battle, she already had a basic understanding of each other's abilities - and if she continued to fight, her hopes of victory would only become slimmer. Probably as he became familiar with his new limbs, the Demon Slayer's movements became more and more fluid, and his strength and skill steadily improved. Not only that, but it seems to have fully adapted to the rhythm of fighting itself, and regular slashes are now difficult to hurt the opponent. This kind of growth with no end in sight is really chilling, and it really makes her realize what kind of heights the so-called gifted can reach.

The only way she could hope to kill her opponent was to condense the power of divine will that was strong enough - Ash didn't know why she didn't have a divine will sigil to induce celestial phenomena, she only knew that magic was answering her call and transforming into golden thunder at her will.

However, even if the lightning light that was randomly split out of his hand was hit, most of it would be dissipated by the black light on the demon slayer's body, and the remaining strength was only enough for it to add a few more scars. Although it can be effective if the number of attacks is enough, it is a pity that with the loss of strength, she can no longer hold out at that time.

The biggest problem is that it takes time to condense the divine will, and it is absolutely impossible for the demon slayer to sit back and watch her complete this blow.

She had to create an opportunity, an opportunity for her to gather enough strength.

It's already clear what to do next.

Closing in front of Ersluk and the two of them going back and forth for a few rounds, Ash deliberately revealed a flaw and slashed the greatsword into the air. The other party naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and stabbed her chest with his five fingers. She avoided the key point a little, did not retreat but advanced, and directly collided with the demon slayer!

The claw pierced her right chest, barely reaching her elbow.

Ersluk's face couldn't help but change.

Ash coughed up a mouthful of blood, clasped his hands around the other, and whispered, "Got you." ”

At the same time, the dark clouds overhead began to swirl, and in the blink of an eye, a huge vortex was formed!

......

"What did you say? Ash her...... Becoming transcendent?" Egtha's surprised voice came from the sigil.

After walking nearly a few miles to the west, Lightning finally contacted the command and reported the need for emergency rescue to the Ice Witch, and learned that the First Army was already working on the first army to pick her up, and she was relieved a little, and briefly recounted the attack by the demon slayers.

"I can't think of anyone else who can have that kind of momentum other than transcendence. Lightning flew slowly in mid-air, looking in the direction of the jungle behind him—there was already lightning and thunder, and the long golden serpent pierced the heavens and the earth from time to time, and even the divine will rune could not maintain this scene for long.

"Advancing in battle is indeed a trait of a transcendent witch, and if she does cross that hurdle, it shouldn't be a problem to concentrate on dealing with a demon slayer. Letting you evacuate is the right choice, anyway...... It's okay for everyone to be fine. ”

Lightning's expression couldn't help but darken, the ambush team was not without casualties, but she didn't tell the other party about it. After a moment of silence, she changed the subject, "What about the devils, who are also promoted in battle?"

For some reason, the fear of the demon slayer before leaving still lingered in her heart, and she couldn't dissipate it for a long time. Ersluk's standing posture and the wriggling black light at the wound always gave her an extremely strange feeling.

"There is no record of this in the Federation, and based on what His Majesty Roland saw in the memory fragments, they need to successfully fuse high-quality magic stones to strengthen their power. "Of course, it can't be ruled out that combat has a crucial cumulative effect on their promotion - if I'm not mistaken, fusing magic stones is similar to a witch's adult life, testing the body's ability to withstand mana, and the so-called fusion failure may be a manifestation of backlash." By the way, why are you asking this?"

"No, it's nothing...... Lightning bit his lip, "I'm just a little worried......"

In the case of high-quality magic stones, it seems not impossible for a demon slayer to carry a few with him. But can anyone really be promoted in the heat of battle? Witches spend their adult days mostly lying in bed, concentrating on that moment.

"Don't worry, the transcendent does not rely on ability to fight, and if the demon slayer's greatest restraint against witches is useless, I believe that the winner will be able to distinguish the winner soon. Agatha reassured.

"Well, I think...... Also. ”

She nodded, and was about to descend to the height, when she returned to Maisie's side when a series of dull roars suddenly came from in the distance. Lightning turned his head away, and couldn't help but freeze in place—

I saw the dark clouds in the sky surging like a tidal wave towards the place where she left, and layered into a gray "cloud tower", which slowly rotated, like a passage connecting the sky and the earth. She'd only seen it on the sea—when a storm came, a huge whirlpool would appear in the sky, and if you didn't manage to avoid it or sail into the center of the whirlpool, any ship would be torn to pieces by the waves that followed.

But here...... It's land.

"What's going on...... Things?" Listening to the voice in the sigil, there was also a disturbance, "That was just now...... What's the sound?"

Lightning couldn't help but put his fingers in his palm, "I don't know - how long will it take for reinforcements from Her Highness Tilly to arrive?"

"The Witch of Divine Punishment is carrying combat equipment aboard the Seagull, and it will take about ten to fifteen minutes to get to you. ”

A quarter of an hour...... "I see." She was silent for a moment before ending the call.

Flying back behind Maisie, Lightning rummaged among the unconscious sick and wounded.

"The thunder was so dense just now, she'll be fine with the ashes......" Maisie asked as she hurried.

"Absolutely, she's extraordinary. You just need to get everyone to the pick-up location safely, and you haven't forgotten where it is, right?"

"Of course, just bypass the ruins of Taqira and turn southeast - wait, why me and not us?"

However, Maisie waited for a while, but could not hear an answer.
