Chapter 9 is rooted in the middle
And now, although Elena and Persephone are resting, they may burst out at any time and deal a fatal blow to each other. During the fierce fighting, Persephone occasionally felt signs of energy loss in her body, as if there was an invisible black hole of energy, quietly devouring her energy, especially the energy obtained from the battle to strengthen the genetic sequence. Although there is not much devoured, in a battle on the verge of life and death at such a moment, every penny of energy can change the tide of battle.
But Elena is in the same situation, and she often suffers from inexplicable weakness. After several days and nights of pursuit and fighting, they are all aware of each other's combat power, and even the smallest fighter will be captured and used to the maximum. Persephone, though she finds Elena's weakness strange, will take every opportunity to kill her.
The same goes for Elena.
After a few minutes of rest, Persephone suddenly rose into the air without warning, and the energy spear appeared in her hands again! The spear is like a substance, the body of the spear is densely covered with intricate and beautiful carvings, and the tip of the spear is a pair of intertwined crescent moon ornaments. Persephone's hands shook, and a pale gray energy flame glowed around her body, and her speed increased steadily, and in an instant, she had rushed to Elena, and the spear stabbed her in the chest and abdomen!
At the same time as Persephone leaped up, Elena also soared into the air, her hands stretched forward, and the nails of her ten fingers bloomed with dazzling brilliance! Only then could she see that the purple-black nails on the tips of her fingers were actually pieces of crystals that manipulated energy. Between her long, slender fingers, a fiery arc of electricity bloomed, connecting the crystals of her fingertips with mystical laws, forming a complex power grid. In an instant, the power grid has expanded to a range of several meters, forming countless energy storms composed of energy of different attributes within the range outlined by the arc. Each of these storms struck Persephone in different trajectories!
This is Elena's ninth-order spell ability, Energy Storm! Storms of energy are terrifyingly destructive enough to easily destroy a main combat vehicle, and they're so fast that it's almost impossible to dodge. In addition, Elena also has a certain amount of control over the energy storm that is released, which can slightly affect their trajectories through changes in the distribution of crystalline abilities at the fingertips. This makes the lethality of the energy storm increase dramatically!
In the face of the oncoming energy storm, Persephone's speed did not decrease but increased, and the energy spear brought out pieces of afterimages, piercing into the core of the energy storm like lightning! At this time, the engravings on the body of the gun lit up, emitting a dazzling bright yellow light, and from time to time a small electric light would shoot outward. These rays form an ionized region around the gun body. At the moment of piercing into the energy storm, the crescent moon ornament on the spear's edge will light up in an instant, spraying out a stream of energy that is either hot, cold, electric, or magnetic, and these energy streams are forcibly poured into Elena's energy storm, which will immediately destroy the energy storm's original fragile balance and detonate it prematurely. Persephone relied on the energy shield around her body to protect and accelerate, passing through the bursting energy, and the spear pointed at Elena's heart with the light of death!
The original innocence and purity in Elena's big eyes disappeared in an instant, but were replaced by coldness and determination, and her hands suddenly closed together, and she actually grabbed the edge of the energy spear! On Elena's hands, small arcs of electricity have been intertwined into a net, protecting the entire forearm, and this power grid is in a fierce conflict with the energy of different attributes ejected from the edge of the energy spear, annihilating each other, or constantly exploding, bursts of energy-destroying energy streams continue to spray on Elena's body, destroying her energy shield, tearing flesh and blood, and even shattering her bones!
Persephone's situation was not much better than Elena's, the energy spear could not advance between Elena's hands, and the clusters of energy storms that were left behind her in her rapid march were flying back one by one, constantly bombarding her, and each explosion of the energy storm would completely destroy the energy layer of her body, and then add dozens of wounds of different sizes to her body. Persephone's protective energy layer is far less powerful than Elena's energy defense shield, but it recovers much faster than Elena. Basically, all energy storms will be neutralized by the reborn energy layer, and most of the ruined power will be canceled out.
The two sides were at a stalemate for a moment, and the energy spear suddenly released a dazzling brilliance all over its body, and then exploded with a bang! Elena and Persephone flew backwards, neither of them standing firm, but the wolf fell uncomfortably on the hard rock, unable to maintain his usual demeanor and demeanor.
It's another lose-lose situation.
They all bounced off the ground for the first time, put on a fighting stance, and confronted each other. In fact, this battle has come to an end, and the next thing is the rest of the competition to recover the ability, or the escape of the obviously losing side. This is also a pattern of fixed cycles over multiple days.
Persephone and Elena observed each other for a while, and after being sure that the other's injuries were comparable to their own, they each cleaned their wounds and recovered their bodies. If they continue to fight, there will only be one ending together, and neither Persephone nor Elena wants this ending, so they both choose to continue to wait, waiting for the moment when the other party makes a mistake.
It was an incomparably brutal battle, and two evenly matched men could not let up for a moment, nor could they make the slightest mistake. Even the slightest mistake will be caught by the other party and inflicted heavy damage. Both Elena and Persephone had made mistakes, small mistakes that would not even be noticed by their opponents in normal combat, but this time was completely different, and the slightest mistake would have left them at a disadvantage for hours or even a day, forcing them to flee in all directions. Elena and Persephone are incredibly intelligent, and even when they are on the run, they are always on the lookout for traps or counterattacks, and both have managed to turn the tide of battle.
So now, it's still a stalemate.
This is a war, an all-encompassing battle of will, physical strength, determination and endurance. Persephone has persevered until now, and even she considers it a miracle. Before meeting Sue, Persephone's life trajectory from childhood to adulthood can be said to be smooth sailing, with no setbacks at all and no real life and death tests. Her own strong strength, the backing of her family's armed forces, and the ability to equip her with almost perfect subordinate troops make her fight as a dark dragoon just a combat drill with a higher risk factor. But in the midst of this harsh war, she had long thought that she would not last long, but she miraculously survived until now, and it seems that she can continue. In Persephone's heart, there is a vague belief that sustains her, so that she will never give in and never give up. But even she herself couldn't tell where this belief came from.
In fact, Elena has also been wondering why Persephone has not fallen yet. When she found out that Persephone's true strength far exceeded her original expectations, it was her first choice of protracted war and war of attrition. Elena knows very well the trajectory of Persephone's life, which is a typical life of genius plus rich girl plus stunning beauty and top power, such a dazzling son of heaven will even make people lose the strength to be jealous. Such a trajectory in her life, as well as her record of never failing, led Elena to conclude that Persephone's will must be inferior to her own. It was the only breakthrough she could find.
However, just as she misjudged Persephone's prowesss after a few days of fighting, Elena found herself also misjudged Persephone's willpower.
Looking at Persephone, who was impeccable a hundred meters away, Elena finally couldn't help but ask, "Sister Fanny, I really can't imagine that you can hold on until now." ”
Persephone smiled and said, "Your background is not bad, since you can persevere, then why can't I?" ”
Elena showed a very innocent expression and pouted, "Why are you the same as me?" I'm psychologically perverted, but of course I'm able to persevere! ”
Elena's answer made Persephone completely speechless, but the life-and-death struggle in the past few days has made them understand each other very deeply, many times more than those so-called confidants, so Persephone has long been accustomed to Elena's surprising words. She didn't intend to let Elena go, so she suddenly asked, "Elena, are you not good enough?" I've often felt that you've rested, but you haven't regained much strength! ”
In fact, the blatant and ironic bickering is also a part of the battle between the two sides, and even a very important part.
Persephone didn't expect Elena to give her a real answer, but Elena replied very seriously: "This is normal! I'm fighting with you, and I'm trying to figure out how to make trouble for Crotina! I mentioned to you about Clotina, she's a very nasty guy who has been sent to hunt down your pretty little man. She was obviously not very lucky, though, and I noticed that she seemed to be very badly injured and that it was not healing. So I've been trying to make her luck worse for the past few days, so that maybe tomorrow she will die from her injuries. It's also exhausting! ”
Elena's answer surprised Persephone, but it was good news. Persephone asked quietly, "You hate Clotina?" ”
"No, I don't hate her, I hate her!" When Elena speaks the word hate, all innocence and loveliness disappear in an instant, replaced by indescribable resentment. Her expression immediately returned to normal, she pulled her long hair back, and chuckled, "Although I feel very sorry that I can't chop that filthy with my own hands, it's good to let her die a minute early." But Sister Fanny, you're different, you're very clean, as clean as the snow of the old world, I love it! Even if you fail, I won't kill you, I'll take you back. But don't worry, even if it's Lord Bebraz, I won't let him hurt you. I could feel that Crotina couldn't hold out much longer. Maybe in two days, I'll be able to kill her. By then, Sister Fanny, you'll have no chance! ”
"Really? Maybe, but have you ever wondered if you will have a chance in two days? Persephone smiled and asked, even though her face was scorched and bloody, she was so beautiful when she laughed, at least Elena's eyes were much brighter.
Persephone's question was profound. In the past few days of fighting, in fact, both women are growing rapidly. The Energy Embodiment Weapon is not Persephone's last hole card, her real killer is that she can activate energy with different attributes on the energy-embodied spear. This is not a big change for the ability of energy embodied weapons, and it still belongs to the category of eighth-order abilities. The true roots of this change come from Persephone's talent and understanding of the ability itself, but it greatly increases the power of energy-embodied weapons. In the course of a few days of fighting, the various attribute abilities that Persephone had inspired from the spear not only became stronger and stronger, but even had an additional magnetic energy field. Moreover, originally the energy of what attribute she activated on the spear was random, but now there are vague signs that she can control it. If this is done, the ability of the energy embodiment weapon will officially enter the ranks of the ninth order, and its great power in actual combat will make Persephone's combat power surpass that of ordinary ninth order ability.
After Elena's energy storm was broken by Persephone, the energy storm group induced by it began to miniaturize, and the number of them increased, and the control became more and more flexible. Her strength is also improving rapidly.
In battle, their abilities and genes are drastically improved and strengthened, and if measured by evolution points, the two of them will get about the same. However, Persephone's ability level is slightly lower than Elena's overall level, so the increase is higher than Elena's. At the same time, if you look at the actual combat power, Persephone's improvement rate is also slightly faster than Elena's. As Persephone said, after two days, the combat effectiveness between the two people will be really the same.
Crotina is a stinger in Elena's heart, and what Persephone means is for Elena to give up this stinger in order to gain an advantage over herself. But the existence of this stinger may affect Elena's combat effectiveness to some extent. The gains and losses are so difficult to weigh that as soon as Elena starts to weigh them, Persephone's goal has been achieved.
Who knew that Elena categorically rejected Persephone's temptation, and did not even hesitate at all: "Don't do it!" As long as I can kill that woman, even if it is to die in battle immediately, I am willing! ”
This time, it was Persephone's turn to be stunned, and she couldn't imagine why she hated someone to such an extent. There must be other reasons behind this, but it's not something that Persephone can understand. Her world has always been filled with light, bitter hatred and those gray things, and there is hardly a corner to hide.
So Persephone could feel Elena's boundless hatred, but she couldn't understand her. Perhaps, as Elena herself said, she is a natural psychopath.
