Chapter 567: 561: Light of Hope
He then activated the Tigrex Dossier, channeling all his strength through his fingertips towards the void.
The Dragon Scale immediately transformed into a golden light that shot out, becoming the phantom of a Giant Dragon with pitch-black eyes and mysterious vertical runes on its forehead, shielding Lornaa Lindwood.
A sense of overbearing Dragon Domination, unique to a legendary Emperor Dragon, began to seep out, causing the Arcane Force that permeated the heavens and earth to turn turbulent.
“Boom!”
The sharp claws of the Void Calamity fiercely struck against the Dragon Scale of the Abyss Dragonemperor, causing a visible shockwave to erupt suddenly.
Despite the Dragon Scale’s unparalleled defensive properties, its protection seemed minuscule compared to the monstrous power of a Class VII Mysterious Beast. The chilling claw barely paused before accelerating at an astonishing speed towards Lornaa Lindwood.
“Left Three Right Four!”
Following David Jones’s mental command, the Rainbow Spirit Dragon’s eyes blinked, and just before the claw struck, it executed Instant Teleportation.
Enveloped by pale silver ripples in space, David Jones and Theodore Lindwood were directly transported in front of the Earth Demon Guard.
Just at that moment, within the hazy black mist, three slender bony spikes and four huge scythe-like Scorpios suddenly descended with overwhelming power onto the spot where David Jones and the others had just been, immediately blasting deep and enormous pits into the ground, accompanied by a burst of corrosive black mist.
“Die!”
Lynn Lindwood’s muscles swelled as his already tall stature of two meters and ten centimeters skyrocketed to five meters. His mountainous presence and boiling hot blood erupted all at once.
His figure flashed, and with an extreme speed that surpassed sound by dozens of times, he generated a substantial sonic boom in the air. The weaker Earth Demon Guards around him began to bleed from their eardrums, and in his hand, the halberd crackled with arcs of electricity as it blasted a blood hole roughly tens of meters in diameter on the body of the Void Calamity.
“Ugh! Gah!”
After such a heavy blow, the Void Calamity’s massive body started to reel backward, its corrosively potent blood gushing out like a fountain.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”
The blood ejected by the Void Calamity still carried its terrible might, piercing through the bodies of two Earth Demon Guards who couldn’t dodge in time.
However, Lynn Lindwood had no time to attend to the casualties of his subordinates, his halberd dancing faster and faster, colliding head-on with the terrifying power of the Void Calamity.
“Thunder Halberd, Thunder Rise!”
“Thunder Halberd, Meteor Strike!”
“Thunder Halberd, Thunderbolt Annihilation!”
Dark golden lightning streaked wildly as Lynn Lindwood’s coherent and deadly halberd strikes targeted the Void Calamity’s weaker defenses.
For a moment, the Class VII legendary Void Calamity found itself temporarily suppressed by Lynn Lindwood’s overpowering martial prowess.
“It’s the rare Space Holy Dragon!”
On the other side, Lornaa Lindwood glanced in surprise at the graceful Rainbow, her voice tinged with gratitude, “Thank you, sir, for your assistance!”
“No need for thanks. Even without my intervention, that creature would not have been able to break through the defensive ghost implement your highness carries with you,”
said David Jones calmly, glancing at the profound ring on Lornaa Lindwood’s finger with the corner of his eye.
In this battlefield, when it came to output, he might not match Lynn Lindwood, but in terms of positioning, David Jones, with his Illusion-Piercing Eye, feared no ambush.
“Sir is too modest. Once my Boundless Demon-refining Circle, which is gathering strength, is interrupted by an external force, it will backfire. At that time, at best, my meridians would be damaged, at worst, my vital energy would be severely injured,” Lornaa Lindwood said, shaking her head slightly.
Avoiding problems solved nothing, and this time, she had indeed been careless. Relying on the protection of the Earth Demon Guard and the five Dragon-Locked Star Rings, she had sought a quick battle, leading to a serious blunder in the ever-changing combat.
Thinking of this, Lornaa Lindwood looked up at the dark sky and thought to herself, “The more urgent I am, the more mistakes I make. The Empty Three Realms is as tricky and difficult as the records say, subtly influencing emotional changes!”
While David Jones was conversing with Lornaa Lindwood, the situation on the distant battlefield began to turn.
The totally enraged Void Calamity let out a huge roar, abandoning defense in favor of a strategy that traded blow for blow, which gradually put the restrained Lynn Lindwood at a disadvantage.
There was no helping it; the Void Calamity’s life force was extremely vigorous within, possessing an unmatched healing ability. The blood holes Lynn Lindwood had blasted on its body began to sprout new flesh within seconds, sewing itself together for recovery.
Though Lynn Lindwood’s physique was astonishing, she never dared to take a frontal hit from the Void Calamity.
Because Lynn Lindwood was well aware that compared to the Void Calamity, which charged and rammed like an unbridled tank, she was more like an assassin skirting on the edge of a knife, where any mistake could mean severe injury or death.
“Sir, help me distract the Void Calamity a bit!”
Seeing that Lynn Lindwood wouldn’t be able to hold out much longer, Lornaa Lindwood flipped her hand over and eighty-one streaks of black light appeared at the palm of her hand, with dragon-chanting sounds vibrating in all directions, faint yet discernible.
“Eternal Frost Annihilation + Slow Space!”
David Jones and Rainbow exchanged a glance, and their Arcane Force erupted simultaneously within them.
Soon, a black dot quietly emerged behind the Void Calamity, creating a Slow Space that made it slightly sluggish, slowing its movements by about ten percent.
“The gap in strength is too vast, making the impact of the Slow Space negligible!”
David Jones closed his eyes, and a great surge of Arcane Force was released unreservedly, channeled continuously into Rainbow through the Beast Taming Contract.
“Crackle crackle!”
Bluish light flickered, and the Eternal Frost Aura, able to freeze anything it touched, formed a cold gleam that wound around the Void Calamity.
Unfortunately, due to the black mucus on the surface of the Void Calamity, the freezing momentum of Eternal Frost Annihilation was getting slower and even showing signs of halting.
“It’s still too forced!” David Jones furrowed his brow.
“Purze purze!!”
Just then, his attention was caught by the Earth Demon Guard, spewing blood at the center of the battlefield, their morale nearing collapse.
“The enhancement from the Sacred Dragon Force Circle is all-encompassing, not only does it link strength but it also shares damage! Once the Circle collapses, Lynn Lindwood alone won’t be able to suppress the Void Calamity!”
Realizing this, David Jones flashed his Star Ring between his fingers, and Loona, whose strength had risen to a lower-level Class V, was summoned by him.
“Starlight Infusion!”
With David Jones’ thought falling, Loona slowly raised her dark, sharp dragon claws towards the Earth Demon Guard, and countless wisps of faint, soft starlight poured down like a meteor shower onto the despairing faces of the Earth Demon Guard.
The pressure brought by the Void Calamity far surpassed that of ordinary Imperial-level Demonic Beasts, and to maintain the Circle from collapsing, the Earth Demon Guard had already consumed several doses of external alchemy. Their ghost force was exhausted, and they had even started tapping into their potential, using their bloodline power to sustain the Circle.
The falling starlight was like timely help in snow, and in that moment, dozens of Earth Demon Guards with lifeless, unwilling eyes, resignedly awaiting death’s arrival, subconsciously looked towards David Jones and Loona, their eyes shining with an unbelievable light.
