Chapter 458: Surprise attack (III)
Having a total of four wings made him only faster. Although his cultivation didn’t match the enemy, Long Haochen was surprisingly not an easy prey for that Fiend Commander of the eighth step to catch up. In the field of flight, Long Haochen was a proud disciple of the Tenth Holy Guard. The use of special maneuvers, using some very difficult movements, enabled by sudden accelerations was effective enough to outspeed the other party. On the other hand, the use of his four wings and his breathing enabled him to absorb some of the light essence disseminated in the air and recover spiritual energy.
During the time the Fiend Commander chased after Long Haochen, Yating’s spell started to show its might.
Immense balls of light appeared one after another from the sky, heading straight for the core of the demons. Their aim was the group of Hell Demons.
The suddenness of the spell, along with its power that reached the peak of the eighth step, both proved out their utilities. At the time it started to descend, even the Fiend King commanding the group looked shocked.
Magic was not the same as other battle methods. It required chanting, be it for humans or demons. He never expected to be confronted so suddenly by a spell even Fiend Commanders of the eighth step couldn’t do anything against, nor to be the aim of such a powerful spell.
This time, the strength of a powerhouse of the ninth step was thoroughly displayed. Although the Fiend King was aware of the fact that if the Hell Demons worked together, resisting this spell would be no issue, he didn’t want to take risks. In case these meteors of light reached their ranks, the damage would be catastrophic. So he immediately intervened, planning to intercept the powerful spell himself.
Although the meteors of light had a restricted range, its was not limited by direction.
This was a strengthened version of the spell Light Meteor used by Yating before, or rather an area-restricted version.
All nine meteors were singularly smaller than the original Light Meteor, but added up together, their explosive force was a lot greater, and their area of effect became massive. With the support from Long Haochen’s spiritual energy, Yating used this offensive light spell with huge area effect exceeding her own rank.
The Fiend King rushed there. The instant his body started to make its way, it lit up in a dark golden light, and the massive wings on his back spread out, flapped violently. Immediately, a huge dark golden sword appeared in his hands. This huge sword was glinting with an orange luster, unexpectedly showing its identity of darkness elemental Epic Tier equipment.
Among demons, this kind of equipment would not even be necessarily be available to demon gods! From this, the status of this Fiend King could be deduced.
The dark golden glint flashed in the air like a ray of light, and despite the massive build of the Fiend King, his movement was instantaneous, not restricted by his volume.
Immediately, the first meteor falling down came to a stop, abruptly blowing up, splashing in all direction like a rain of light.
But this was merely the beginning. The demons behind him only saw a figure full of awe, suddenly moving from one point to another in the air, totally unhindered. Each move of his produced a flicker of light, causing a golden meteor to come to a stop and explode. Although the air was still filled with an intense breath of light, the light essence didn’t come into contact with any of the demons below.
At the time the Fiend King slashed onto the last golden meteor, the whole sky was glinting in gold colour. Golden Meteors Formation was a genuine Great Spell, aimed at a large area. Even though the Fiend King, in his capacity as powerhouse of the ninth step, managed to block it completely, he had to gasp for breath in pain after the skirmish. And in his face, none of the delight he should have from breaking this spell could be seen. On the contrary, this Fiend King looked extremely gloomy, as black as an old fry pan. That’s because he came to realize that he had overlooked something.
Indeed, the Golden Meteors Formation was broken, none of it having reached their aim. But from the successive explosions from the meteors, each of them carrying a huge amount of light essence, how could the fluctuations disseminated not be extremely intense?
Light Meteor wasn’t so simple as a spell carrying Yating’s power. It absorbed a large amount of light essence from the area, before letting it burst in the form ofto a tyrannical attack. It borrowed power from the might of heavens!
A spell of this level would normally be likely to fail from the frantic accumulation of light energy, to say nothing about a situation where it was fired in such a short span.
In other words, even if the Fiend King caused the meteors to explode, they were still not neutralized .
A strong light essence surged in the sky, fluctuating, descending in magnificent shapes of microscopic specks of lights. This was an extremely destructive sea of specks of light.
