Chapter 566: Such a swarm?(III)

The Aria of the Goddess of Light looked like an orange gelatin dessert, brilliant and full of allure. And Blue Rain, Hibiscus of Light, was like a dark green jadeite, full of vitality and lustrous like a nascent bud. A dense golden fog kept rising anew, and intense golden flames instantly ascended onto the golden fog, as Long Haochen was exerting his whole strength.

Due to facing Haoyue’s attack, Crocell’s strength seemed as if suppressed. All his abilities lost about a fifth of their efficiency, and he looked extremely prudent.

Pointing both his blades in opposite directions, one to the sky and the other one to the ground, dark blue radiance reappeared in his eyes, spreading out from within. Then he started spinning in the same place, turning into a black pillar of light colliding against those two spells.

The gap of cultivation manifested without a doubt. The fire and wind whirlpool was first destroyed, as the extremely sharp fire dragon was totally unable to make its way inside the black pillar.

Then the ice spear launched at him was dodged in a flash, leaving no trace at all.

The black light vanished and Crocell staggered backwards. On his left shoulder had appeared a faint dark purple trace, and his left arm was slightly bent down.

Haoyue’s attack unexpectedly dealt some damage to him. This felt really incredible, that at the peak of the seventh step, he could actually wound the Demon God of Clear Vision of the ninth step.

The other three spells were actually covers for Little Purple’s attack. Little Blue wrapped ice around it, transforming it into water in a split second. Although merely a drop had made it past Crocell’s defense, its terrifying paralysing poison was enough to completely benumb the left arm of a powerhouse of the ninth step.

Demon gods have very high resistance against poison, but Haoyue’s poison was visibly out of the ordinary. Due to the paralyzing poison, Crocell’s arm would need some time to return to normal, in other words, to fully dispel the poison.

But Long Haochen remained unmoving, still using Storing Power. The ones attacking next were the four holy guards.

Crocell had a sudden heavy feeling, as a sparkling and translucent brilliance shone above his head in the shape of a diamond-like spear.

In the meantime, an icy blue ring instantly enveloped his body, blowing up immediately. It produced an extreme chilliness as a red and a green figure took advantage of that opportunity to rush to him suddenly, launching offenses almost frantically.

But right because of the effect from Haoyue’s poison, Crocell managed to completely calm down. Haoyue’s attack certainly inflicted some damage to him, but also made him realize that the creature he feared to such extent was actually far from his own strength. And under these circumstances, he displayed fully his strength as the Demon God of Clear Vision.

In a disadvantaged situation, the calmed down Crocell was unconditionally fearful. Stomping heavily onto the ground with his left feet, he released a black ray from inside his body, forcibly destroying the eleventh ice ring and slowing down the Diamond Spear launched at him. Then the blade in his right hand struck with an efficiency reaching the maximum.

A blade projection was launched, covering 270 degrees, aimed at Long Haochen, as its peak coincided to meet with the Diamond Spear. And as if the six wings on his back came alive, they blocked the tenth and twelfth holy guards’ offenses from behind.

The brilliant golden light that met with the black arc turned into thin droplets. That’s the fate Long Haochen’s Light Thorn, which served as response, suffered.

That’s when Yating made her second move. This time, after intervening, her face became quite pale. The strain for a light mage at the premises of the eighth step to launch a spell able to block the attack of a powerhouse of the ninth step was just that great.

Tears of the Goddess of Light was a single-targeted spell of the eighth step that Yating could use because of relying on Long Haochen’s aura as the Scion of Light. Furthermore, as an ability at the supreme peak of the eighth step, this technique was already close to one step above her capabilities.

Crocell’s attack was not only stopped, but the blade in his arm was marked with a golden trail which was dissolving his darkness elemental spiritual energy at a frantic speed.

Don’t forget that inside the Tower of Eternity, Long Haochen has another advantage, which is his supply of spiritual energy. This place couldn’t supplement any elemental essence of other attributes than light and darkness.

At the start of the battle, Crocell wasn’t too aware of that, but as the battle followed its course, he felt that something was amiss. In other words, that the spiritual energy he consumed wouldn't be replenished.

But don’t think that in a situation where spiritual energy cannot be supplemented, a prolonged battle would be to Long Haochen’s advantage. Crocell’s attacks were unavoidable, and the four holy guards were not of much use in front of him. With the capability of the Demon God of Clear Vision, there’s no way he would be unaware that his spiritual energy was not refilled. In case he reaches his limits, it will undoubtedly drive him to desperate actions, putting his life on the table without fear of backlashes. So Long Haochen had to increase his power level to a sufficient level before he’d be driven to such actions.
