Chapter 257: Chapter 253: May the Holy Light Deceive
You~
Li Xusheng, who was usually stern-faced, was not angry but amused by the suppression from a third stage pet beast. His arms suddenly exerted force, and Delta was directly thrown out.
Subsequently, Li Xusheng didn’t pause his pace but dashed towards the thrown Delta. The dazzling blood lightning twined around his dual hammers, smashing ceiling-shatteringly onto Delta, who was caught off guard.
At the same time, the attack of Blood Blade exploded again. Its attack speed and form switched increasingly swiftly. Every encounter with Delta would draw away a strand of fresh blood, and its attack range expanded once more.
After all, Delta was just a third stage creature. If it weren’t for its unique characteristics and a large amount of base attribute-enhancing materials, it could never contend with Li Xusheng, who had assumed the form of four- armored mode. As Li Xusheng began fighting seriously, Delta naturally couldn’t remain at ease as before.
Meanwhile, the Judgment Angel, wrapped in the vortex of Undying Flame, also started to use its strength. The holy flames on its body burned savagely, isolating the Undying Flame from the outside, attacking Alpha. At the same time, Xia Yan, who also was a mechanic, launched a counterattack on Husky.
In a split second, the situation reversed.
Just then, Bai Qiucha activated his support in time. He, attached to the Bone Armor, ignored Li Xusheng’s blood manipulation. With a Bone Sword in one hand and a Soul Blade in another, he blocked Li Xusheng.
Upon a reunion with an old rival, Li Xusheng no longer paid heed to Delta. He directly shifted targets attacking Bai Qiucha. Every single blow fully exemplified the straightforward battles on the battlefield, though lacking any grand tactics; every move was aimed at critical hits.
Bai Qiucha was clearly a well-trained fighter. He brandished two swords so swiftly in his hands that openings were hard to be found. The shadow power of the Bone Sword and the spirit power of the Soul Blade put up a powerful fight against Li Xusheng’s four armor and blood ability, showing no signs of inferiority.
On the other side, Zhou Yan summoned a pegasus, charging towards the Broken Army. Broken Army was forced to switch its battle mode to close combat and engaged Zhou Yan. Meanwhile, Xiao Yuan commanded the Tardigrade Thunder Dragon to stop the Barrier Tree Man from disturbing Zhou Yan.
“Red and blue have always paired well in the past. There could be a chance between these two.”
Looking at Li Xusheng, covered by blood lightning, and Bai Qiucha, holding the blue Soul Blade, Bai Qi made a cheeky remark as he directly commanded Delta back.
Having Delta fight alone against the freak on Li Xusheng’s side was indeed quite challenging. Only after reaching fourth stage with the consumption of Space Crystal Stone could there possibly be a glimmer of hope.
“Let’s deal with these two first.”
Bai Qi looked at the Holy Light Angel and the Judgment Angel, who were dueling Alpha. He frowned slightly.
Since the commencement of the fight, these two had been very passive, save for the moment when all three attacked together. Their performance differed significantly from when they were battling on the stage.
As if aware of Bai Qi’s thoughts, Dean suddenly flashed a smile at Bai Qi. The attacking speed of the Holy Light Angel skyrocketed. From afar, it seemed like a meteor shower was raining down in the arena.
Unlike Lilith’s Judgement Angel and Ellis’ Judgment Angel, Dean’s Holy Light Angel didn’t bear any other attributes. However, it was this pure power of Holy Light that gave the Holy Light Angel a speed comparable to Light.
It seemed that Ellis was also unwilling to interrupt Dean’s performance, and he simply switched targets, instead mounting an attack on Husky.
Although the Holy Fire of Judgment Angel could offset most of the damage from the Thunder Flame Power, Husky’s attack frequency was too high and could precisely dodge friendly forces. If this continued, it would not be in their favor.
Yet at that moment, Delta, who had become free, suddenly stood before the Judgment Angel. One hand held Alpha’s Flame Sword, and the other the Gravity Sword. However, instead of attacking the Judgment Angel, Delta regressed to its original form and let both swords rest on its body.
The one known as Evolution Light shone brightly, and a horrifying temperature began to emit from Delta’s body. A colossal humanoid figure appeared once again in the arena.
[Name]: Magma Element
[Nature]: Elemental System
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
[Introduction]: A powerful elemental life form that was born from magma. It boasts a scorching temperature and a formidable body, causing double attribute damage to its enemies.
This was Delta’s most potent evolved state that it had discovered through trials with numerous pet beasts, apart from the Power of Death, which it dare not risk. For a time, it even threatened Alpha, who had already elevated to King- level.
However, the significant issue with this state was its lack of sustainability; it could hardly last long.
But at the moment Delta evolved, Gamma voluntarily detached from Alpha and landed on the Magma Giant, starting to supply energy to Delta.
With the issue of energy solved, Delta took the lead in attacking the Judgment Angel, but the Judgment Angel, also possessing fire attribute, just couldn’t handle Delta.
In the previous battles, the horrifying Holy Fire from the Judgment Angel caused significant damage to the Association side, burning both the body and the soul simultaneously. Although Ellis had a firm grasp on how much damage it inflicted, it still posed a significant deterrent.
However, this time, facing the Magma Elemental with a flame comparable to its own, the Holy Fire’s effect was greatly weakened. The crucial point was Gamma, which had learned the Elemental Resistance technique, popping out from time to time to swallow the Holy Fire, utterly quashing the most potent attack of the Judgment Angel.
“No matter how many times I see this, Bai Qi’s Ancestral Beast still has ridiculously strong abilities.”
Watching Delta changing its battle form again, Bai Yuxiao on the stands couldn’t help but sigh.
When they found out that Bai Qi had signed a contract with an Ancestral Beast, which couldn’t evolve, everyone felt it was somewhat a pity, thinking Bai Qi had wasted a contract slot.
Yet, who would have thought that in such a short time, Bai Qi would turn Delta’s disadvantage into an advantage, and it even subtly became a top talent.
After all, there were hardly any pet beasts that could change form according to external energy.
“I feel that Bai Qi’s skeleton is truly terrifying.”
Li Mu, looking at Alpha, who showed no signs of weakness when faced with the almost unstoppable speed attack of the Holy Light Angel, expressed a different opinion.
As the only one in their group who had directly confronted the Holy Light Angel, Li Mu knew very well how terrifying the angel’s speed was. He was certain that none of their pets could beat the Holy Light Angel in terms of pure speed.
And now, Alpha had not only sustained but seemed to be handling it with ease, audaciously opposing the creature of Holy Light with the body of an undead creature.
“Could it be that this guy has actually cultivated his main pet into a king creature?”
Bai Yuxiao watched Alpha getting stronger as the battle continued, and expressed her guess with some disbelief.
“Almost certainly so,” Li Mu nodded, then turned to look at Lu Qing, silently overlooked in the arena, a sense of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
I really can’t surpass Bai Qi…
In the arena, Lu Qing’s gaze continually swept across various areas as she gave constant instructions to the mech girl. Meanwhile, lights of different colors fell onto the others under the mech girl’s control.
Strength enhancement, speed enhancement, defense enhancement…
With the various effects of the mech girl’s enhancements, Zhou Yan and the others gradually gained the upper hand, and constantly adjusted their attacks based on the information provided by Lu Qing.
Unlike Bai Qi who joined later, Xiao Yuan, Zhou Yan, and Lu Qing, who grew up together, naturally coordinated seamlessly. Even though Lu Qing’s combat power wasn’t strong, her vast knowledge reserves combined with the mech girl’s auxiliary enhancements were highly effective.
“The association indeed has an abundance of talent. Although their tactics are a bit immature, they have a promising future,” Wang Jian nodded slightly while looking at the individuals below with clear task divisions. Zhao Futu, on the other hand, waved his hand and said, “They are still somewhat strained compared to the concentration of elites in the Thirteenth Bureau.”
“President, you’re being too modest. King-level creatures have quite a significant dominance in a competition of this level.”
“Still, it’s not as convenient as having two mythical species. Among creatures of the same level, mythical species are the strongest.”
“Hahahaha…”
The two exchanged compliments before refocusing on the match.
“Can the advantage of having a mythical species really allow it to continue fighting Alpha for so long?” Bai Qi asked, looking at the Holy Light Angel, whose speed was still rising.
Based on the data provided by Xiao Yuan and the others, Dean’s Holy Light Angel was reported to have a high-grade lord-level bloodline. Even for a mythical species, it seemed a bit too much to have battled against Alpha, a king-level being, for so long.
“Alpha, push him to his limit.”
*Creak creak.*
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, the three swords of wind, fire, and gravity flew back and attacked the Holy Light Angel together. Wisps of black energy emanated from the Sword of Death, severed the Holy Light Angel’s light sword, and slashed towards the angel.
Seeing this, a brilliant light suddenly emitted from the Holy Light Angel. A pair of wings suddenly emerged from its back, and a pure white space appeared around it, keeping Alpha’s four swords outside.
A King’s Aura!
The Holy Light Angel was indeed a king-level creature!
Seeing the transformation of the Holy Light Angel into a four-winged angel, Bai Qi suddenly realized the truth. Dean, however, looked serious and said, “I didn’t expect to encounter a king-level creature. It’s quite unexpected.”
Bai Qi shrugged and said, “I’m also surprised. You can grow wings at will. Is that how capricious mythical species are?”
Dean gave a faint smile and said, “Bai Qi, if you’re interested, we can chat about it after the match. But now…”
“Let the holy light purify you!”
After speaking, the Holy Light Angel’s holy aura exploded, enveloping Alpha entirely. The effects of wind, fire, and other attributes began to dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye. Those golden blades fell uncontrollably to the ground, gradually transforming into holy light.
Bai Qi frowned slightly at this. Alpha instantly recalled the Flame Sword and Gravity Sword, and swung the Sword of Death to attack the Holy Light Angel.
“It’s useless. Inside the Holy Light’s aura, holy light will protect everything.”
Seeing this, Dean shookhis head, about to advise Bai Qi to concede. Then, he saw the Sword of Death penetrate directly through the Holy Light Angel’s chest, staining its once pure body with a streak of black.
“Seems like you’ve been fooled by the holy light, huh?”
