Chapter 262 – Sword Law Saint
Dammit!
s.h.i.+ Feng’s expression turned grim when he saw the oncoming lightning spear. He didn’t think the system would be so ruthless as to start the Legacy Power absorption without giving him any options or time to prepare.
However, s.h.i.+ Feng dared not withhold his cards as he activated the Abyssal Eye’s Abyssal Power. Immediately, a layer of black fog enveloped him, and his body began radiating an aura close to rivaling Superior Mythic monsters of the same level.
Yet, even after activating Abyssal Power, s.h.i.+ Feng could still feel the threat of death descending upon him as the lightning spear neared him.
As an eight-winged Tier 4 Valkyrie, Tia Pollena could exhibit Tier 5 power even with a casual attack, let alone with a spear that concentrated the power of lightning. An attack of such caliber could severely injure even a Superior Mythic monster of the same level.
Upon realizing that he still couldn’t survive the Valkyrie’s attack, s.h.i.+ Feng promptly unsheathed the Winter of Eternal Night and activated Radiant Night, forcibly increasing the power of his attack by two ranks.

Subsequently, a black streak of light collided with the silver lightning spear. However, no sound or explosion came from the collision. On the contrary, the battlefield darkened and became devoid of sound.
Amidst the battlefield of shattered s.p.a.ce, s.h.i.+ Feng remained standing steadily. However, going by his disheveled hair, his trembling arms, and his HP bar that was only half full, it was obvious that he had lost to the Valkyrie in their compet.i.tion of raw power.
As expected of an eight-winged Valkyrie. She really isn’t an opponent I can challenge at Tier 3. s.h.i.+ Feng couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile when he saw that Tia Pollena had already conjured a second lightning spear during the time he was defending against her first lightning spear.
It should be known that s.h.i.+ Feng had used Sword’s...o...b..t in conjunction with Radiant Night to defend against Tia Pollena’s attack. This was the strongest combination he could currently muster, and it allowed him to exhibit power at the Tier 5 Intermediate standard.
Yet, even his strongest attack was only enough to just barely keep him alive. Moreover, he wouldn’t be able to use this attack again within a short period of time.
In fact, if he hadn’t switched out his Mana Equipment Set for the Blazing Flame Set, he might not even be alive right now.
Yet, the system wanted him to hold out for 30 seconds. This was just asking him for the impossible.
“Atone for your sins, human!”

When Tia Pollena saw that s.h.i.+ Feng no longer had the strength to replicate his previous attack, she coldly threw the second lightning spear she conjured at him. She did not plan on giving s.h.i.+ Feng any time to rest.
The lightning spear was incredibly fast, and it crossed the 200 yards that separated Tia Pollena from s.h.i.+ Feng in the blink of an eye.
When s.h.i.+ Feng saw that the lightning spear was only 30 yards away, he gritted his teeth and unfurled the ancient scroll he had secretly taken out after blocking Tia Pollena’s first attack. Meanwhile, this ancient scroll was none other than the Tier 5 Defensive Magic Scroll he had obtained from killing Diaclo the Nether King.
Tier 5 Magic Scrolls were extremely rare even in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain, each worth several Fragmented Legendary items. Tier 5 Defensive Magic Scrolls were especially valuable, and they were labeled as the best lifesaving tools in the Greater G.o.d’s Domain.
A Tier 5 Defensive Magic Scroll could even withstand the full-powered attack of a Tier 5 Dragon, giving players enough time to use Tier 3 or Tier 4 Teleportation Scrolls to escape to safety.

As soon as s.h.i.+ Feng activated the magic scroll, an invisible barrier stopped the lightning spear in its tracks, preventing the attack from getting anywhere near s.h.i.+ Feng.
“This is…Broken s.p.a.ce?” Tia Pollena frowned when she saw her attack failing to eliminate s.h.i.+ Feng yet again. “What a lucky human you are.”

s.h.i.+ Feng shrugged at Tia Pollena’s comment. Then, he said, “I’m sure you know about the Tier 5 Broken s.p.a.ce’s effect. It can keep me protected for one minute, so how about we call a truce?”
An eight-winged Valkyrie possessed high intelligence, so it was possible to hold a conversation with one.
“Hmph. Keep your dreams to yourself. You might have a Broken s.p.a.ce protecting you, but you aren’t in control of it. So long as I keep attacking it and draining its mana, its reserve mana will run out sooner or later.”
Tia Pollena snorted coldly. Immediately, she began bombarding s.h.i.+ Feng with lightning spears one after another. In only the blink of an eye, she had already thrown three lightning spears, the rate of her attack significantly greater than before.
Seeing this, s.h.i.+ Feng couldn’t help but grow anxious.
It was just like Tia Pollena stated. The Tier 5 Broken s.p.a.ce stored in the Tier 5 Defensive Magic Scroll wasn’t under his control. Although the scroll’s introduction stated that Broken s.p.a.ce had a one-minute duration, that was under the a.s.sumption that the magic scroll’s mana reserve did not get depleted.
Meanwhile, the invisible barrier protecting him might be unfazed even after stopping multiple lightning spears. Still, he could tell that the barrier’s mana fluctuations were growing weaker with each subsequent attack. In a situation where he couldn’t supply more mana to the Defensive Spell, once the magic scroll’s mana reserves were depleted, the Spell would lose effect automatically.
Ad
s.h.i.+ Feng, in his current state, did not have the strength to block another attack from Tia Pollena. If Broken s.p.a.ce couldn’t last for 30 seconds, he’d die for certain. However, if it could last for 30 seconds, he would still have hope of completing his Tier 4 promotion and getting out of this Legacy Land alive.
As for running away, that wasn’t an option at all. Unless he had a Tier 4 Teleportation Scroll or above, there was no way he could get away from an eight-winged Valkyrie’s Spatial Lockdown.
While Tia Pollena was frenziedly bombarding the Tier 5 Broken s.p.a.ce with attacks, time pa.s.sed by quickly.
Ten seconds… Fifteen seconds… Twenty seconds…
Twenty-five seconds after s.h.i.+ Feng had started absorbing the Ancient G.o.d’s Arm’s Legacy Power, the invisible barrier protecting s.h.i.+ Feng started wavering as if it could disappear at any moment.
Three more seconds… Two… One… s.h.i.+ Feng stared at the loading bar before him intently while praying that Broken s.p.a.ce could last for a moment longer.
“It ends here!”
When Tia Pollena saw that the mana fluctuations separating her from s.h.i.+ Feng still did not disappear completely, she resolved herself to use Sword of Judgment, the strongest Skill unique to Valkyries.
Immediately, a sword of lightning that measured several hundred meters in length appeared above Tia Pollena. Then, before s.h.i.+ Feng could react, Tia Pollena swung the lightning sword at s.h.i.+ Feng.
Bang!

The sound of gla.s.s shattering echoed throughout the battlefield as the invisible barrier generated by Broken s.p.a.ce crumbled. With the barrier gone, s.h.i.+ Feng was now thoroughly exposed to Tia Pollena’s wrath.
“Die!”
Tia Pollena conjured a lightning spear and threw it at s.h.i.+ Feng without hesitation.
However, s.h.i.+ Feng did not grow anxious even after seeing this attack. This was because he had already received his long-awaited system notification a second before Broken s.p.a.ce lost effect.
