Chapter 350 Confused and Limped
The light erupting from Roy’s fingertip was… strange!
The moment it condensed, the ball of light was black. But as it shot out, the black light quickly turned into a dim yellow color before turning grayish-white.
Although this ray of light shot out straight, it caused the surrounding air to distort while flying out, causing a strange visual error. In the eyes of Isabel and Orfina, they felt that this ray of light was advancing like a snake.
Isabel’s intuition told her that they could not touch this ray of light head-on, so she and Orfina immediately dodged it. But the speed of the light was fast. As soon as they dodged, the other angels whose vision was blocked in the rear had no time to react. A two-winged angel wearing armor was astonished and confused as this snaking light hit him.
The next moment, the two-winged angel let out a tragic cry!
The moment the light hit him, the holy light surrounding this two-winged angel was like a piece of paper that could not resist the ray of light that Roy shot out. After being hit, his entire body produced an indescribable… distortion!
His left arm quickly twisted to the right from his shoulder blade, while his right arm twisted to the left. His head, limbs, and even wings also rapidly twisted in different directions. This was the effect that occurred locally, and then his entire body produced an overall distortion effect, causing this two-winged angel to turn into a lump of crazy distortions in merely three seconds.
This distortion was not limited to his body. The distortion even affected the air around him, the armor on him, and the angelic sword and s.h.i.+eld falling from his hands. They turned into a ball of twisted steel that stuck to the lump…
This strange phenomenon was as though a chaotic distortion force field had appeared around the two-winged angel after being hit by Roy’s light, and the resulting distortion force directly devoured the two-winged angel.
The screams of the two-winged angel were only at the beginning. Toward the end, he could not even scream. All the bones in his body shattered, and all his muscles ripped apart. Without looking at him, you could not imagine that the muscles and bones of a humanoid angel could be twisted in so many unbelievable angles.
Even Roy was shocked when he saw this scene. Just by looking at the attribute of the Glimmering Dawn ability, he could not imagine that it would have this effect. He had just shot it because he wanted to test this ability, but he did not expect it to be so… strange?
The two-winged angel died, and his soul floated out. However, his distorted body continued to collapse and shrink, as though an immense force was squeezing him. Finally, a hundred kilograms of flesh turned into an inexplicable lump of meat that was not even the size of a fist. Interspersed inside were armor and metal. The density became usually high, and it directly fell from the sky.
Isabel and Orfina were both stunned. It was not that they had not seen their compatriots die in the war with demons, but it was the first time they had seen such a tragic and strange way of dying
What surprised Isabel and the others the most was that the holy light in the two-winged angel did not display the effect it should have. It had to be known that holy light was a very special power. It was singular but pure and full of vitality. The power of holy light had powerful resistance to almost all elemental powers, which was the commonly known magic defense effect, especially against dark power. The light ray shot by Demon Osiris just now clearly contained dark power, but this dark power did not have an overwhelming superiority. Logically speaking, the two-winged angels should have been able to resist for one or two seconds, but why did his holy light not activate the slightest resistance after he was. .h.i.t?!
Roy understood what was going on.
Glimmering Dawn, to put it bluntly, was a special power obtained from the fusion of light and darkness. Just like how holy light used light as a medium to carry holy power, the ray of light that Roy shot out just now used light to carry dark power.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, this was impossible. Light and darkness were opposites, and the two would neutralize and eliminate each other.
The so-called dark power was actually just a general term. In fact, it had many manifestations. Curses, corrosion, bad luck, and even death fell under the category of dark power. It was actually the combination of all negative powers, and these negative powers could not be carried by positive light energy.
However, Roy’s dark power had a completely different manifestation because the Dark-Dark Fruit he ate back then had transformed it, and its manifestation had become another very special form-power! Or, more specifically, gravity!
This change had caused Roy to be unable to use the power of curses like ordinary demons. But to demons, the power of curses was an indispensable fighting method, so he had no choice but to turn Frostmourne into a sword of cursing to make up for his lack of negative attacks.
However, despite not being able to use curses normally, Roy’s dark power also had its unique features. It mixed with ice power and changed the physical properties of his frost to make it more resilient. Mixing with lightning had greatly increased the destructive power of his lightning on souls. Now, another special aspect of his dark power was displayed. It could be carried by the medium of light and obtained a powerful distortion effect.
In fact, Roy could simply use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to achieve this gravity. But at that time, he used his body as a carrier and the end of his limbs as the attack end points. Now that light could carry it, the benefit was the increase in range and attack speed. This meant that Roy could finally throw the gravity field away… But this benefit was not the greatest. The greatest benefit was that after adding light energy as a medium, creatures like angels who used holy light could no longer resist his attacks.
It was like light energy becoming a traitor and leading the way. When Roy attacked the angel, the light energy led the charge, causing the holy light in his body to be unable to distinguish the difference and produce defensive effects, allowing the dark power to invade successfully.
In other words, for creatures such as angels, as long as Roy used the Glimmering Dawn ability, his magic could have the effect of ignoring magic defense… After realizing this, Roy’s interest immediately increased because he suddenly thought about it in reverse. What if I attack a demon? Will it then become dark power leading the way? Then what kind of effect will the light energy contained in it display when attacking a demon?
This unknown effect is worth trying…
Just as Roy was thinking this, Isabel and Orfina finally came back to their senses. Orfina looked at him in horror and shouted, “Wh-what did you just do?!”
“Make a guess!” Roy smiled at Orfina. He was now in a mist-like state. This smile drew an arc of blankness in the mist, making him look exceptionally strange.
“d.a.m.n it. I didn’t expect you to break through and enter the True Name Liberation state…” Orfina clenched the angelic staff in her hand tightly and said to Isabel beside her, “Your Excellency Isabel, we absolutely can’t let him leave. Such a demon will become a big threat to Heaven…”
“I know!” Isabel took a deep breath and raised the angelic sword in her hand again. Powerful holy light burst out.
The angel wings on her back became incomparably huge once more. The floating threads of light intertwined into a gigantic net of light again and pressed toward Roy from all around.
This move again… Roy’s heart tightened. He did not dare to be careless and immediately put to use what he just learned. He used the power of Glimmering Dawn to create an enormous protective s.h.i.+eld around his body. As the dim yellow light turned into greyish-white, this enormous grayish-white light sphere enveloped Roy. His body was indescribably ethereal currently. After this grayish-white light sphere covered him, the s.p.a.ce around him became distorted and a total mess. When Isabel’s light net enveloped him, this destruction force field effect naturally affected it. When any of the golden light touched his protective s.h.i.+eld, it immediately dimmed and then became ethereal, unable to catch him at all.
Roy guessed right. Since the Glimmering Dawn ability could ignore magic defense when attacking angels, it would also produce stronger defense when defending against holy light attacks. This resistance was much more effective than purely using dark power to resist.
At this moment, under the effect of the protective s.h.i.+eld, Roy seemed to have become an elusive existence. Isabel tried to capture him repeatedly, but as soon as the light net touched the protective s.h.i.+eld, the distortion effect would make it slide away. No matter how much she increased the output of holy light power, she could not produce the desired effect.
Realizing that this would not work, Isabel decisively charged with her sword. As her light wings surrounded Roy, she rushed in front of him, raised her sword, and stabbed it at his protective s.h.i.+eld with dazzling holy light. However, facing Isabel’s attack, Roy did one thing. He circulated the protective s.h.i.+eld around him!
The moment Isabel’s sword tip pierced into the protective s.h.i.+eld, she immediately felt waves of incomparably chaotic and immense distortion force coming from her sword. These disorderly distortion forces continuously acted on her sword from all directions. The deeper her sword went, the greater the force it received.
Therefore, the sword that Isabel pierced in… suddenly became confused and limped! It did not know where it was going…
