Chapter 850: The Powerful Must Attack (Part 1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the water puppet had been swatted away, the terrible sound of the Dark Blue Howl was heard.
The Dark Blue Howl cast by human mages was a grade-9 water-element spell while the same spell unleashed by magic beasts was a spell that combined both wind and water elements and used up a lot of energy. Amongst the remaining ten white bears, they suddenly unleashed a spell that only a group of grade-9 magic beasts could unleash together, which was Soul Chain. Under the effect of Endless Night, the combined subconsciousness of the white bears helped them realize the danger they were in.
Without any hesitation, the white bears’ berserk attributes were unleashed. All ten of them used Dark Blue Howl at the same time and the powerful wind and water elements destroyed Endless Night.
The difference in grades was clear. When ten grade-9 magic beasts unleashed a spell together at the same time, the grade-8 Endless Night became ineffective immediately.
If the water puppet had been a human, one swipe from the white bear king would have cost him his life. The white bear king’s sharp claws could easily shred apart the skin and sh.e.l.ls of most creatures below grade-8, unless they were special creatures like pan’s turtles.
The water puppet’s body was torn into two. He contorted in a strange manner in the air and within two seconds, he merged back together again. He did not forget to attack white bear king with his finger at the same time.
The group of sixteen white bears had yet to even produce offspring before seven of them were killed and one of them was the white bear king. Endless Night was destroyed, and the dark elements were scattered before vanis.h.i.+ng instantaneously. The nine remaining white bears got ready to pounce towards the water puppet, who was about to land on the surface of the ice.
It was at that moment that Nailisi exploded out of the ice crater. Sharp sound waves spread across the surface of the ice and swept across the nine white bears. The white bears shook a little before continuing to pounce at the water puppet.
Nailisi gritted her teeth as she knew she had miscalculated. Her Soul Sound wave might be powerful, but it was ineffective against berserk magic beasts.
Two of the white bears turned around and charged at Nailisi. Their bodies might be swollen, but they were extremely agile. With one leap, they had already landed in front of Nailisi.
Magic beasts were not necessarily unintelligent. When they realized that Dark Blue Howl was ineffective against their enemies, they immediately decided to change their attacking style to physical combat. Their enemies were much smaller than them, so the difference in strength should be significant.
Nailisi’s three-faced bone demon state allowed her to cast powerful death magic spells, but grade-9 creatures possessed an incredible ability to defend against spells. Nailisi leapt high into the sky. She did not wish to engage in physical combat with the two grade-9 magic beasts in her current state.
Nailisi’s leap was tens of yards high. Her body twisted and turned violently in mid-air and within two seconds, she has transformed into a devil and landed heavily.
Boom!
Her devil form was more than twenty yards tall and had two heads and four arms. On one of the arms was a huge metal s.h.i.+eld, which she used to swat the two magic beasts down onto the surface of the ice.
Nailisi felt pain in her arm. The two magic beasts did not die. They only squirted out some blue blood and were howling wildly. They had unleashed gigantic ice crystals around their bodies for protection.
Nailisi switched the s.h.i.+eld onto another arm and attacked again. That time around, the ice crystal s.h.i.+elds of the two white bears were smashed into pieces. The strength possessed by the devil far surpa.s.sed the defense of grade-9 magic beasts.
“Want to see who is bigger? Hahaha!” Nailisi laughed wildly. If her Power of Giant Dragon was complete, she would be able to transform into a giant dragon. Even Sika could not compete with her in terms of strength in that form. Her devil-form would suffice for that battle. A long lance appeared in another of Nailisi’s arm.
Her original long lance was already destroyed in the battle at Sanlian City. It was repaired and refined, and it was as long as thirty-two yards. She could only wield the weapon when she was in devil-form.
More demons climbed up from the ice crater. Both of Nailisi’s heads screamed and the demons became agitated. Temporarily, they forgot about their fears as they charged at the two white bears with their battle axes.
At that point in time, the difference in grades no longer played a part. The weapons that the demons wielded were all personally refined by Saleen and were extremely sharp. Crystallized metal covered the entire blade of the axe, forming gears that could barely be seen with naked eye. When the demons attacked. The axe blades, which were half a meter long, lodged themselves in the white fur and cut away at the flesh.
The two white bears were still in a daze and were unable to retaliate. Demons of grade-5 and grade-6 were still very powerful and could very well kill grade-9 magic beasts that were unable to retaliate.
Nailisi covered more than one-hundred yards with one step and pierced through the backside of a white bear with her long lance. The lance was pushed in three yards deep. Before the white bear could even register the pain, she tilted her long lance upwards to bring the white bear more than ten yards in the air before smas.h.i.+ng it down on the surface of the ice.
The grade-9 magic beast was only in time to unleash Vacuum Cutting from its claws before Nailisi’s long lance twisted its internal organs. The Vacuum Cutting attack flew aimlessly, four of which flew towards the sky while two of them hit the surface of the ice.
Although the ice there was thicker than ten yards, it was still sliced through by the Vacuum Cutting.
Only six white bears remained and one of them was a white bear king. As the gigantic devil came nearer, the white bear king turned around and spit out a gigantic fire dragon.
Nailisi was taken by surprise. There were still magic beasts in the Oceanic Ice Block that could use fire-element spells?
Nailisi thought about the fire-element spells that Saleen could cast. She did not wish to go head-on against it, so she flapped her wings and rose to a height of more than one-hundred yards in the sky.
The fire dragon expanded violently and twisted in the air before flying up into the sky. This spell cast by the white bear king could lock on to the devil. There was no difference between their grades as they were both between grade-9 and grade-10.
The fire dragon could not fly as fast as Nailisi. One of the limitations of spells cast by magic beasts was that they would not be as fast as those cast by humans.
Nailisi flew as high as she could. Her combat abilities in her devil-form were extremely formidable, but her magic abilities were not as powerful compared to when she was in three-faced bone demon form. Nailisi could sense the fire dragon approaching. She threw the giant metal s.h.i.+eld in her arms and hit the fire dragon.
The half yard thick metal s.h.i.+eld melted a crater in the grade-9 fire dragon, which then disintegrated in mid-air.
The fire dragon stopped for a moment. Its body shrunk, but it still continued to pursue after Nailisi.
Nailisi threw away the s.h.i.+eld, and once her body became lighter, her flying speed doubled and reached a height of one-thousand yards in the sky very quickly. Theoretically, grade-9 spells were most powerful within an attacking range of one-thousand yards. Beyond one-thousand yards, the elements would start to dissipate. Although the rate of dissipation was still very slow, a weakened grade-9 spell was something that Nailisi would be able to deal with.
Nailisi flew higher and higher as the fire dragon grew weaker and weaker. When they reached a height of two-thousand yards, the fire dragon’s abilities had been reduced to that of grade-7 magic. Nailisi pierced her long lance backwards and accurately stabbed into the elemental point in the fire dragon.
She had picked up that ability from Saleen. She only managed to figure out the fire dragon’s weakness after the latter had chased her for two-thousand yards.
There was a sound of explosion as Nailisi unleashed a devil ability, Demon Psychokinesis, through her long lance. It struck the fire dragon and caused it to disintegrate into giant b.a.l.l.s of fire.
The fireb.a.l.l.s flew in all directions and only about ten of them flew towards Nailisi. Blue electric currents flashed across Nailisi’s body surface and easily repelled the fireb.a.l.l.s.
In devil-form, Nailisi did not dare to use Lightning Guardian against the fire dragon, as it would have taken up too much of her energy. She was afraid that she would have been too tired to fight against it.
On the surface of the ice, the water puppet activated fog from the surface of its body to enclose the entire ice surface once again. The white bears immediately lost their ability to see and it was only because of their powerful senses that they could still vaguely pinpoint the water puppet’s location.
The water puppet’s location was where the water elements were the thickest. There was no way this could be hidden from grade-9 creatures.
If the white bears were humans, they would have figured out that water puppet’s abilities were only dangerous within close distance to grade-9 opponents. The moment the distance was pulled apart, the water puppet could easily be killed by long-range attacks.
The last white bear king turned around and locked onto the water puppet’s location. It raised its head suddenly. It felt a gigantic object falling onto him.
Nailisi laughed as she pierced her long lance into the white bear king. She tucked in her wings to form an acute angle in order to increase the speed at which she was diving down from two-thousand yards.
Even a golden grand swordmaster would be severely injured if they fell from a height of two-thousand yards. Not only was Nailisi doing that, she also increased her speed, which was simply suicidal. The white bear king was provoked into howling by Nailisi’s ferocity. Broken Soundwave was a rare spell that could shock the surrounding solid ice into pieces.
It raised its head and spit out another giant tornado, blowing a hole in the fog that the water puppet had created. Within the tornado, countless ice arrows shot out from the middle and blocked off Nailisi’s route of attack.
Grade-6 ice arrows? Nailisi continued to laugh. The blue electric currents on the surface of her body flashed and protected her from the hundreds of ice arrows, allowing her to dive straight into the middle of the tornado.
There was a strange sound of collision as Nailisi’s long lance struck the white bear king’s forehead. The white bear king’s skull managed to block the long lance, causing Nailisi’s arm to break into more than ten places.
The white bear king’s skull was harder than anyone could have imagined, but it could not prevent the shockwave caused by Nailisi’s attack. Its brain was shocked into pieces as blood rushed out from its mouth and nose.
Nailisi only had to sacrifice an arm in order to kill the white bear king and that made her look down on the magic beasts even more. She was of the same grade as the white bear king, but the latter actually tried to block her attack with its skull. Although its skull was indeed hard, its brain was as soft as beancurd.
“Rossen!” Nailisi shouted and pounced at another white bear amidst the fog.
The water puppet was shaken. Nailisi was simply too strong. Her combat techniques were direct and effective, and also slightly unpredictable. His fog could not even get close to her.
