Chapter 620 - Destruction Thread
As Leon and Duna a face-off with Lord Bahlzacs, the tension was high, and the atmosphere was solemn while they gazed at each other, waiting for the other side to make the first move.
At the same time, Lord Bahlzacs contemplated whether he genuinely wanted to fight a death match with the two people surrounding him.
The two people were simply too weird.
He was not a defensive-type Mid-Rank 2 Transcendent. As such, his defensive strength fell far behind his physical might.
Even an Early-Rank 1 Transcendent with a treasured weapon could kill if they landed a mortal blow on him, let alone an Early-Rank 2 Transcendent with three dozen treasured weapons.
On the other hand, the woman was even weirder.
She was simply not a normal person. No normal living being could survive a fatal blow to their heart. At the same time, the person wielded an overbearing power that he did not dare to touch a second time.
He could still feel the sting of his arm loss.
"The situation is unfavorable, and I no longer have absolute confidence in myself. First and foremost, I need to carry out the Second Prince"s task. I should not take unnecessary risks here," Lord Bahlzacs narrowed his eyes in thought.
Shortly after, he flashed a brief glance at the Desolate Crow Princess, Lilith, nearby.
…
At the same time, Jorn quickly found Lilith in the square observing the Transcendents" battle from a distance.
"Little Princess, it"s not safe here. We should quickly leave before you get implicated in the battle!" Jorn urged.
Lilith saw the long queue of clansmen leaving from the clan"s main entrance before asking, "Did you order for the clan"s evacuation, Uncle Jorn?"
"Yes, Your Highness." Jorn nodded before explaining his worries, "The structural integrity of the frame holding up the mountain of carca.s.ses will not last."
"Cracks forming, simply from the impacts of their blows to the ground. If such attacks landed on the frame itself, I fear its immediate collapse, crus.h.i.+ng everyone underneath."
"Your worries are not misplaced. We shouldn"t leave anything to chance. You have made the right call, Uncle Jorn," Lilith stated before accepting the advice to leave, "Let us leave quickly."
"I will seek Aria"s help once we are outside. Aria is at the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm. Together, they should be able to deal with the Mid-Rank 2 Transcendent."
"Yes, Little Princess." Jorn nodded.
Meanwhile, Lord Bahlzacs continued to face Leon without movements before he suddenly snorted, "If you aren"t going to attack first, I will!"
Boom...
Lord Bahlzacs"s aura immediately surged with vigor and intense fighting spirit as if he was preparing for a big attack, causing Leon and Duna"s gazes to turn sharp in response.
However, in the next moment, Lord Bahlzacs immediately fled in a flash.
Swoosh~!
Lord Bahlzacs shot towards Lilith"s location very quickly, causing Jorn"s expression to change abruptly as he shouted, "Be careful, Little Princess!"
At the same time, Leon was taken aback before his eyes narrowed coldly. Lord Bahlzacs wanted to grab Lilith and flee!
"Do you think I will let you?!" Leon"s arm bulged before he began hurling his Tier-3 Bone Spears in his hands with great force!
Swish~! Swish~!
The spears immediately closed the distance with great speed and headed straight for the gap between Lilith and Lord Bahlzacs!
Lord Bahlzacs was forced to twist his body and change his direction slightly before drawing closer to Lilith.
But before he could get close enough to grabbed Lilith, a few more bone spears shot over, forcing Lord Bahlzacs to avoid them hastily.
Swoosh~!
During the slight delay, Duna and Leon shot over to protect Lilith from being captured by Lord Bahlzacs.
"s.h.i.+t! Guess I have no choice but to leave empty-handed!" Lord Bahlzacs cursed with a frown, seeing his plan had failed.
Boom!
The ground cracked underneath Lord Bahlzacs"s quick stomp as he shot himself flying in the direction of the main entrance leading outside!
"Do you think I will let you run?" Leon twisted his body and changed his direction, shooting off in pursuit off immediately.
At the same time, Lilith"s expression changed.
"Oh, no! The clansmen are gathered over there! They are going to be in danger!" Lilith exclaimed in realization.
With the evacuating clansmen blocking up the exit, if Lord Bahlzacs wanted to leave, he would naturally have to mow his way through the crowd!
Since Lilith could see it, naturally, Leon could also see it.
He immediately furrowed his brows and increased his speed with a kick at the empty air, causing an explosion that propelled him forward as if he just went supersonic.
The 30-odd bone spears failed to keep up with Leon as he closed the distance on Lord Bahlzacs within a short instance.
Nevertheless, he still carried a bone spear in each hand.
Lord Bahlzacs felt Leon"s closing presence before he snorted, "Hmph! Your treasured weapons might be capable of harming me, but that doesn"t mean an Early-rank 2 Transcendent like you can contend with me head-on!"
"Know your place, human!"
Lord Bahlzacs abruptly turned around to receive Leon"s attack with the black spear in his grasp. He wanted to put Leon in his place with his superior physical strength!
However!
Just they were about to clash with their spears, Leon"s body twisted with uncanny timing and angel, narrowly avoiding Lord Bahlzacs"s spear before maneuvering around the person to obstruct his escape path.
"You want to protect the Desolate Crow Clansmen?" Lord Bahlzac immediately understood from a glance, seeing as Leon stood in front of them and guarded their evacuation.
Shortly after, Lord Bahlzacs grinned wicked with a cold glint, "Well, good luck!"
Lord Bahlzacs quickly made the clansmen his target before shooting after another batch of clansmen heading over to the main entrance, forcing Leon into a direct confrontation with him in order to protect the clansmen!
At the same time, the group of clansmen under the lead of an Early-rank 1 Transcendent Beastkin Warrior quickly glanced up at the incoming danger and s.h.i.+vered.
"Oh, c"mon! Are you fricking kidding me?!" One of the clansmen exclaimed with fear and frustration.
They had just retreated from the location of the water fountain where the battle had been taking place. But not long after the exit leading out of the clan was in sight, they also found out the battle had been s.h.i.+fted over.
They were trying to get away from the battle, but the battle followed them!
They were just regular clansmen with meager strengths. Their lives were like gra.s.s in the face of such an overwhelmingly high-level battle.
Are the heavens cursing them to die?!
"Get back, all of you!" The Early-rank 1 Transcendent Beastkin Warrior warned, preparing to face Lord Bahlzacs"s incoming attacking.
Alas, the warrior knew that he would not put be able to put up a single shred of resistance. The difference between their strength was simply too significant.
Even so, he could not show cowardice.
Just as the beastkin warrior thought he was going to face certain doom, watching Lord Bahlzacs come sweeping in with the black spear, Duna, who caught up and hid in the crowd, suddenly fired out a Destruction Wave.
Swish~!
The Destruction Wave closed the distance on Lord Bahlzacs in an instance. It was almost as if the person flew straight into.
"What?!"
Lord Bahlzacs immediately cried with a horrified look before twisting his body and neck in his best effort to evade the attack.
Boom!
The black spear blocked most of the Destruction Wave while the rest shot into the distance and struck the dome frame holding up the mountain of carca.s.ses.
"How sly of you! You almost had me! Unfortunately, it still wasn"t enough!" Lord Bahlzacs spouted with complacency, but his heart s.h.i.+vered, and his back broke into cold sweats.
He was too close to death just now.
The woman wielded a power unlike anything he had ever seen before. Even Paragons might fall to such overbearing destructiveness if they were careless!
His wounds could be healed when cut by treasured weapons, but if that woman"s destructive power struck him, he would be f.u.c.ked.
"I need to kill this woman first!" Lord Bahlzacs"s eyes glinted with killing intent.
However, just as Lord Bahlzacs had that thought, Duna looked back at him calmly and casually said, "Oh really? Look again. You"re already a dead man."
"What?"
Lord Bahlzacs could not comprehend her words.
But as if Duna"s words were the mandate of heaven, Lord Bahlzacs suddenly felt pain on his neck before a red line was formed like a ring around it.
Shortly after, blood sprayed from the ruptured veins in his neck like a sprinkler, causing Lord Bahlzacs to immediately drop the black spear and grasp his neck to stop the bleeding.
Not only that, he feared that his head would simply roll of his body if he did not hold it in place. Even if he was defeated, he had to know how he was defeated before he goes.
"How can this be? I was confident that I dodged that attack…" Lord Bahlzacs expressed his shock before suddenly frowning, "No, something is not right… That attack was almost vertical, but this wound is…"
"You deflected the first attack, but you never saw the second one coming, did you?" Duna grinned while playing with a nigh invisible threat of Destruction Law.
"Of course, you wouldn"t have. The second attack had been compressed so thinly it is hard to see, not to mention that it was hidden under the cover of the first attack." Duna continued without waiting for Lord Bahlzacs"s answer, just as her right hand crumbled into dust.
"To think I would be defeated like this… I am unconvinced," Lord Bahlzacs muttered before his eyes lost their colors.
He died on the spot.
"So what if you are unconvinced? Bite me.." Duna spouted at the corpse.
