The spear, made purely of energy, swirled with black electricity and stabbed at Elena's neck. Every ounce of energy in the spear is connected to Persephone and can move with her heart. Persephone knew very well that although Elena was not known for her fighting ability, this shot could not stab her. But she knew that although the stab missed, the shot would at least pass through Elena's neck, and the black lightning on the tip of the spear would blast open Elena's tender skin and tear off at least a third of her slender neck. Even a ninth-order ability could not afford such heavy damage.

However, the energy spear suddenly exploded into a mass of scattered and scattered violent energy, and only a small part of the energy was absorbed into Persephone's hands, and most of them lost control and rushed around, even tearing apart a small wound on Persephone's arm.

Persephone's hands sparked with lightning and formed a vortex of energy adsorbed on her hands, catching up with Elena's energy jet!

A strange black light that defied common sense appeared at the intersection of energy, scattering like billowing smoke, and countless thin and strong lights shot out from the black light! The shockwave that erupted in an instant threw Persephone's body backwards, and Elena, who was also at the center of the storm, only took two steps back.

Her two beautiful big eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Persephone who was knocked away, revealing a complicated expression, without chasing and killing the killer in the first place.

A pale cyan flame suddenly formed at Elena's feet, and quickly expanded into a circle of fire with a radius of ten meters. A layer of barely visible flames burned in the circle, and then fist-thick pillars of fire continued to rise into the sky, shattering the flying Ice Spears in the air.

Ice spears that could pierce through the armor of the main battle vehicle flew one after another, and were invariably shattered and exploded by the rising pillars of fire. Waves of air swept in all directions with large clouds of milky white vapor, and also ruffled Elena's golden hair. Standing in the middle of the ring of fire, she smiled charmingly, reached out to brush away the messy hair on her forehead, and then pursed her small mouth, blowing a nearly transparent flame from between her seductive bulging lips.

The flames that erupted from Elena's lips were only a few centimeters long, but a muffled grunt came from dozens of meters away, and Oberen emerged from the sky and fell headlong to the ground. He was protected by a light, cold shield of ice, but a thin layer of flame was attached to the shield. The flame that was close to pure white was very weak, but it was like a maggot attached to the bone, and it would never be extinguished lightly. As it burned, Oberen's shield ran out of energy almost in the blink of an eye, flickering and threatening to burst at any moment.

Oberen immediately bounced off the ground, let out a low roar, and the protective shield on his body exploded suddenly! Pieces of the remaining icy force field flew in all directions with flames that still burned unquenched. Although Oberen himself was sliced and bruised by the frenzied energy, the crisis was solved.

As Oberion detonates the protective force field, Elena puts her index finger to her lips and throws a flying kiss at Oberen. Her lips were undoubtedly very seductive, so moist that people wanted to bite into it, but this flying kiss was a kiss of death, and when she kissed, another colorless flame erupted from her lips!

The moment the shield broke, Oberen waved his hands and condensed six ice spears in a row. The ice spears didn't shoot at Elena, but they collided three meters in front of Oberen, and then there was an earth-shattering explosion!

In the frenzied cold fog and shock wave, a wisp of flame that was almost invisible to the naked eye finally appeared, but under the erosion and impact of the cold air, it immediately deviated from its original direction, and continued to deform and twist, and finally exploded into pieces of sparks scattered. But wherever the spark was glued, whether it was grass, trees, or rocks, it was immediately covered with a layer of flames and burned violently.

Elena looked at Oberen from afar, undisguised in surprise. Her kiss of death was broken like this? Oberen didn't even have time to glance at her!

The flame area where she is standing is a ninth-order spell-like ability, the Flame Realm, which is the ability to integrate attack and defense, and wherever the realm is covered, a behavior that is hostile to the master of the realm will be automatically attacked by the ultra-high temperature flame. It was naturally not difficult for the ninth-order area defense ability to block the rain of ice spears of the seventh order of Oberen. However, her Kiss of Death is also an eighth-order rare ability, known for her stealth and strong single attack power. Two kisses of death in a row were blocked by two seventh-order spell abilities, although Oberen's block was very reluctant, and there was a bit of luck. However, the powerful energy manipulation ability and near-instinctive reflexes he has demonstrated are shocking enough, and even Elena's own ability in these two aspects is slightly inferior to him.

Elena's little mouth pursed cutely, like a little girl who had been wronged. She was indeed a little aggrieved, the power of the Death Kiss of the Eighth Order Ability was not something that Oberen could resist at all, but he had been cracked by him twice in an unbelievable way. Although she was not injured, the cost of casting two kisses of death was definitely not small.

"Two perverts!" Elena cursed hatefully, looking at Oberen, who was getting up from the ground, stepping out of her own realm of flames and throwing a new kiss of death.

"Sister!" Obera suddenly let out a loud roar, leaned forward, and shot out at an angle almost parallel to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, he was between Persephone and Elena, and his arms were covered with an icy blue mist, crossed over his chest!

The third kiss of death was actually thrown at Persephone.

As soon as the transparent flame of death touched the ice blue mist, it spread in all directions, enveloping Oberen's upper body, and it was still spreading all over his body, and the cold mist immediately turned into a large amount of water vapor and quickly melted.

This is a head-to-head confrontation, both in the realm of spells, and the strength of Oberen's seventh-order is simply not comparable to Elena's eighth-order rare ability. Before the flames touched him, Oberen felt not the heat, but the bone-piercing cold!

This is the precursor to death, and when the flames really touch the body, it is the moment when death comes. Without the protection of the force field, no matter how strong the body is, it will not be able to resist the flames of more than 2,000 degrees. This is the temperature at which steel can be melted.

Oberen's sanity told him that this time he was certain to die. However, his mood was very calm, and at this moment, his mind was filled with unforgettable images, which were the memories of killing Persephone again and again in the dream realm. A qiē that has already happened will only be a memory for people in the end. From the perspective of memory, these scenes, where there is no way to distinguish between fantasy and reality, are real.

A few years of dreams seemed like a century to Oberen.

So now, he can stand in front of Persephone very calmly, without thinking about his amazing talent, his great future, and his power destined to stand on top of the mountains. It's as simple as having a cup of coffee after breakfast.

However, there will always be accidents in the world, and even if you just want to drink a cup of coffee, there will be times when you knock over the cup.

A soft force suddenly came from the back of Oberen's neck, dragging him backwards. A snow-white slender hand poked out from the side, and a hand knife cut off the flame of the kiss of death in the center, and then the five fingers were together, and those deadly transparent flames were restrained into a small ball of fire, which was grasped in the palm of the hand.

Through the gap between his arms, Oberen saw that the figure standing where he had been was none other than Persephone.

With a wave of her right hand, the fireball of Deathflames flew out of her hand and shot at Elena. It was only at the moment that the fireball left her hand that the intense burning pain made Persephone's hand tremble slightly, and the direction of the fireball was slightly deflected, towards Elena's left side.

Now with a flicker, Elena can dodge and have the power to deal with Persephone's follow-up attacks.

However, Elena had just taken a step to the right, and her face suddenly changed!

A low roar like autumn thunder sounded in the air, and the ground trembled violently. Aaron emerged from dozens of meters away, holding a heavy alloy shield covered with scars, like a flying tank, rumbling towards Elena! At this time, Elena, who was restrained by the Flame of Death and Persephone, was no longer able to dodge!

With a muffled bang, the alloy heavy shield in Aaron's hand let out a shrill groan of metal twisting again, and he took a dozen steps back in a row before he could barely stand firm, leaving dozens of centimeter-deep footprints on the ground with each step. After standing firm, Aaron suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the blood mist instantly stained most of the shield red. This powerful crash hit the soft and boneless Elena, but it was like hitting a mountain.

And Elena was not happy, she was still knocked out and fell to the ground very wolfly. She has always paid attention to her appearance, which actually means that she has run out of energy and suffered a lot of injuries.

Elena immediately bounced off the ground, but her body shook slightly. Looking at Persephone, Oberen, and Arlen on the other side, she smiled charmingly and said to Persephone, "I really didn't expect you to have a child." But is it necessary to pay such a big price for him? ”

Persephone smiled and did not answer. Oberen looked at Persephone in surprise, except for Aaron, who was still staring at Elena with a blank expression, the battered shield ready to slap on her body.

After saying this, Elena didn't stay too long, but turned around and left directly, bringing the curtain down on this short but fierce battle.

For three months, such battles have been happening every day. Nearly every battle is so fierce that it seems to end with the death of one side or the other. The scales of victory continue to swing between the two sides, but miraculously always return to square one. Every battle is a fight to the death, and the slightest mistake will cost lives, but neither Elena nor Persephone, Oberen, and Arlen have made any mistakes and left no chance for their opponents, which has made the battle last for three months and thousands of miles.

But this time, the scales of victory finally tipped in Elena's favor.

Although it is late summer and early autumn, the nights in the mountains are still cold. As night fell, Persephone, Oberen, and Aaron sat around the campfire and watched as Aaron expertly roasted the mutated creatures he had hunted in the mountains. The light of the fire in the mountains at night was undoubtedly the guiding light, and hostile people could spot their whereabouts from dozens of kilometers away, but none of the three of them cared.

This mountainous area has penetrated deep into the north and has entered the hinterland of the Radiant Crusade. Battles between the two sides sometimes took place right next to the base of the Radiant Crusaders, and there were even large-scale fights within the base. But for the Holy Radiance Crusaders, the lessons learned in the past three months were so profound that the top brass even issued a bizarre battlefield order on the fly, that is, if you see an unknown bonfire at night, you must evacuate immediately, and you must not approach it.

And the front-line commanding knights were privately aware of the consequences of trying to interfere in the battle between them.

The beasts of the old age were afraid of fire, but many mutated creatures of the new age are not afraid of fire. It's a pity that the mutated creatures that are bold enough and hungry enough end up being food for four people.

Persephone used to light the fire, eat, and rest alone, but it was only from tonight that Oberen and Aaron joined in. Oberen's sacrifice to save finally melted the invisible ice between the siblings.

Persephone's right hand and entire wrist were charred black, and the top layer of skin was charred. How can the flame of the kiss of death be directly touched? In order to save Oberen, she cut off the kiss of death with her bare hands and reflected it back, which is actually a great price.

Oberen stared at the campfire, not knowing what he was thinking. From time to time, his pupils reflected the figure of Persephone, and in the light of the jumping flames, Persephone was always so beautiful. She didn't speak, but with one left hand, she cut the roasted pieces of meat into square pieces of the same size, and picked them into her mouth one by one. Persephone ate so quickly that almost the first piece of meat had just been swallowed, and the latter piece of meat had already flown into her mouth. She kept eating, but this way of eating had absolutely nothing to do with etiquette, but she didn't care at all, she still ate seriously and attentively, and it was concise and efficient.

In Aaron's hand, there are still more than a dozen mutant creatures, and the total edible meat weighs more than a dozen catties. And a full half of what he baked went into Persephone's stomach. In fact, since a month ago, Oberen found that Persephone's appetite had suddenly increased several times, and he thought that Persephone had deliberately increased her appetite in order to cope with the fierce battle, but he didn't expect that there was already a small life in her womb. For high-level abilities like them, the genes in their bodies have been greatly modified, and the physiological laws of ordinary people are completely different. No matter what kind of high-level ability person is in the field, the speed of the body's metabolism can be increased to at least several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people, and they can quickly recover from injuries by eating a large amount of food. Like the burn on Persephone's right hand, it only takes a day and a night to heal as before. But Persephone ate too much, far more than was needed to heal her wounds, and even more than she should have to feed the little life in her womb. The gestation period of the new era is only 6 months, and for someone like Persephone, who has the ability to enter the Holy Order, which can manipulate various parts of the body, can put the embryo into a dormant state, thus extending the pregnancy period to a year later, and can also give birth to a baby within 3 months. And seeing what she means by eating so much, she should want to give birth to the child sooner.

Oberen silently counted the time. He and Aaron had been following Persephone for three months, so it should have been three months before they knew she had a baby. Judging from the change in food intake, she has been controlling the growth of the embryo in the first two months, and since this month, she has been accelerating the development of the embryo. Is there some reason for this?

The alien creatures around Aaron quickly decreased, and they continued to turn into roast meat, entering the bellies of the three people. Seeing that Persephone had finally finished her long and arduous meal, Oberen looked at her and asked softly, "Sister, is the child ...... Sue's? ”

"Of course! Who else but him? Persephone said.

Oberene was silent, and the incident between him and Su kept coming to his mind, and after a while, he let out a long breath and said, "This guy actually left you like this!" When I kill that crazy woman, I'll go find him, and I'll get him back!" If he dares to treat you badly, then I really won't be polite anymore. ”

Hearing Oberen's words, Persephone was a little surprised, she looked at her brother who was only a big boy in her eyes, and finally, a smile appeared on her lips, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it! You're no match for him, and I'd better be sure of it myself than you! ”

"That's hard to say, isn't it?" Oberyen was a little unconvinced, in the past year, his strength growth can no longer be described as genius. It was hard for him to imagine that with his current strength, he would not be able to defeat Su.

"Actually, even if it's me, I don't know if I can beat Su now!" Persephone smiled, her smile full of happiness and pride. "Alright, let's talk about it! That crazy woman is not easy to deal with! ”

Seeing Persephone's smile, Oberenne felt a little wordless warmth, as if he had returned to the youthful era of worrying about the country and the people when he first joined the Dark Dragoon. This feeling has actually left him for a long, long time.

"Huh? People just left for a while, how can you talk bad about me behind my back? Elena's sweet voice suddenly came from the darkness.

Immediately after, a ray of flame lit up in the darkness, but instead of coming at the trio, it ignited a pile of firewood thrown on the ground. Elena was busy, and soon lit a bonfire, and then dragged a mutated fawn out of the darkness, skillfully cleaned up, and roasted it on the fire as if nothing had happened.

Elena and Persephone, it seems, are camping travelers rather than enemies who have just fought a life-and-death battle. And they do their own thing, and they don't interfere with each other. The problem, however, was that the two campfires were so close that they were only twenty meters apart!

As Elena was concentrating on the barbecue, Persephone lay down, resting her wounded right hand on her abdomen, and then closed her eyes, as if she had fallen asleep. Oberen stared at the burning and dancing bonfire, not knowing what he was thinking. Aaron put his hand on the alloy shield beside him, and his eyes stared at Elena who was busy without evasion.

Twenty meters, that's a fleeting distance.

Elena was still wounded, and her body was empty, almost drained of energy. She didn't hide it in the slightest. However, whether it is Persephone, Oberen, or Arun, their physical condition is only worse than her. Now in this confrontation situation, the four of them were on full alert, and their bodies and injuries were greatly slowed down. However, when it comes to recovery speed, who can compare to Elena, who has more than one ninth-order ability?

The night passed slowly.

The mountains are quiet at night, with only the occasional slight crackling except for the sound of campfires. It was the sound of Persephone's right hand charring the skin without breaking and peeling off. Every time it rings, it means that a new piece of skin has appeared, and it also means that time has passed a little more.

And time, like the sand in an hourglass, is constantly sprinkled and falls on the tray of the scales of victory. But this time, they only landed on the tray that belonged to Elena.
