Chapter 1330 - Duel to Death (1/2)
The warlock who had transplanted the bloodline of a vampire could not break the fiery tree’s defense at all. Besides, the fiery tree was already a projection of the law of fire. He certainly couldn’t suck any blood from it…
On the contrary, the fiery tree launched flames back at him. The flames turned into a cage, and burned this guy who reeked of the stench of blood. He would’ve been burnt into ashes if he hadn’t been making use of the power of the rivers of blood on the battlefield…
Burning mana was absolutely useless too because the flames on the fiery tree were powered by mana to begin with. They were actually burning the warlock’s mana. As more flames were burning, more of the warlock’s mana was incinerated.
With the fiery tree as their support, and plus the magic crystals that Lin Yun had prepared for them, the legion mages could easily defeat a level-5 Heaven Rank expert in a war of attrition, not to mention a warlock only in level 1 of the Heaven Rank…
The venomous poisons had been burnt up before they approached. The mental shriek was blocked by the fiery tree.
The seven warlocks who had transplanted their bloodlines had been either suppressed or trapped. They would be burned to death when their mana was neutralized by the flames. Then, they would be restrained by the fiery tree…
In a dozen minutes, all the seven bloodline transplanters had been suppressed. Had it not been for the monster’s control and protection and its mana support, they would’ve all been burned to death.
On the other hand, in Reina’s battle, three of the five bloodline transplanters had been sealed in transparent blue ice. Inside the ice, even mana had been frozen. Their power was frozen too. The horrifying frigidity kept everything inside the ice the same. There were even flames that had been frozen.
One of the remaining two bloodline transplanters had been impaled on the ground with black ice spears in his limbs. Before he could break free, another couple ice spears had flown out and penetrated his shoulders and thighs. The terrifying power of ice spread out and stiffened his body. His blood had been frozen before it gushed out.
The last bloodline transplanter had turned into a half human and half beast. He looked like one of the tiger hybrids. He had dashed to Reina, and was tearing Reina’s ice shield crazily with his sharp claws.
The attack was futile. Also, when other bloodline transplanters were controlled, bloody flames arose on the skin of the man. His bones seemed to be cracking and expanding too. He expanded dozens of times in one second, turning into a monster that was dozens of meters tall. A violent and terrible aura rose around him crazily. He advanced to level 3 of the Heaven Rank instantly.
Reina seemed rather surprised, and then frowned. Silver light glittered on her body. She transformed into her original self—a Frost Dragon. She wandered in midair, and spouted icy brilliance.
The monster that was ablaze with bloody flames charged. The crystallized beasts that were in its way all withered and rotted when the bloody flames touched them, as if their vitality had been burnt up instantly.
Reina opened her mouth, and spouted a mouthful of icy brilliance. Her absolute zero breath hit the terrifying monster immediately.
Instantly, the monster was covered in ice. After he took another two steps, the bloody flames on his skin were extinguished. He stood on the ground like an enormous ice sculpture…
There was barely any suspense in the battles of the legion mages and Reina. The dozen bloodline transplanters of the Thorny Crown had all been suppressed. If they hadn’t all crystallized from inside to outside, and if they hadn’t wielded the power of the Heaven Rank, they would’ve been killed instead of being suppressed.
The iron army of alchemy puppets had already completely blocked the violent beasts. Like an enormous mincer, the iron army continuously reaped the lives of the gigantic insects that were charging forward. They couldn’t break through the line of defense no matter what.
The battle between Xiuban and Sheldon was the fiercest. After bathing in the Ancient God Blood, Xiuban was unable to make use of elemental or magic power. However, as his bloodline power increased, the Ancient God Blood had been completely melted into his system, and it didn’t have any more restraints.
Although he could already make use of elemental power and even cast spells, Xiuban was the most familiar with the support and enhancement spells. He still counted on his physical strength in battles.
Sheldon, on the other hand, had transplanted the bloodline of a demon whose ranking was low among the 72 pure-blooded demons. He was a poor spell caster, but he had inherited the demon’s strong body. Adding the demon’s horns that he had transplanted, he fought like a real demon instead of a warrior who had transplanted a bloodline.
After Sheldon was temporarily controlled and crystallized, the side effects of his bloodline were suppressed. The monster didn’t care whether or not Sheldon would be killed if he overused his bloodline power. He was surrounded by black smoke, and he had grown almost four meters tall. Demon power was gathering in his hand into a spear that was more than five meters long with the support of the monster’s power.
Xiuban, on the other hand, had a skin that was glimmering with the color of blood. His eyes had turned bloodshot too. There seemed to be a layer of invisible flames around his body. The power of tornadoes helped him control his body like elves.
Carnage had been completely enshrouded in the power of earth. It turned black and brown, and weighed at least 1,000 tons. When it was gently waved, the air around it would be squeezed. Lightning was attached to its surface, carrying pure and horrifying power.
Holding Carnage, Xiuban charged at Sheldon, roaring and smashing him with a horrifying force Carnage was imbued with. Immediately, the air was trembling, and the mana and air that had dispersed in midair could not withstand the brutal force. They were all squeezed and exploded, causing noises around Xiuban. The cracking elements were rumbling.
Sheldon was expressionless. The demon horns above his forehead emitted vague black light. In the middle of the black smoke, Sheldon’s body transformed again, and gradually turned into a demon. He released all of his bloodline power, and turned into a half human and half demon monster.
Facing Xiuban’s attack, Sheldon held his enormous black spear with both hands. The spear had been covered in black smoke too. The demon power had been crystallized too, and transformed into a most terrifying weapon.
The spear, which looked like a black crystal, collided with Xiuban’s Carnage. Immediately, all the mana, elements, and air within a radius of dozens of meters were pushed out. No sound could be heard. A glittering blast spread out from the point of impact.
Immediately, an enormous circle 1,000 meters in diameter appeared. The blast that rose to the sky disappeared, and the blast that struck the ground looked like a giant’s blade that cut the ground brutally.
On the ground, an enormous gap that was several meters wide and hundreds of meters long appeared. The crystallized beasts that had been gathered where the gap used to be vanished. They were all torn apart by the horrifying blast.
After the enormous circle of blast spread out, the mana, air, and elements that had been pushed away rolled back to fill the vacuum. Xiuban and Sheldon had collided. Carnage and the black crystal spear were stuck to each other like magnets. Everything between them had been shattered. It was a pure collision of strength, which was even more terrifying than a collision of spells.
The two weapons were not really attracting each other; Xiuban and Sheldon were simply pressing them against each other, hoping to crush their enemy with their strength.
At this moment, whoever was unable to hold on and moved back would have to face not just their enemy’s strength, but also the energy that had been accumulated in the collision.
The air and mana that had rolled back into the vacuum collided continuously, and rolled and retracted like a lightning ball towards the two men in the center.
