Chapter 573: Wrath of the Lich King (I) (2/2)
The lich king coldly spread to Long Haochen’s mind the thought, “Wishful thinking!”
Did Long Haochen’s divine sword strike reach out? It did reach out, however, it only struck an expanse of deep purple fog.
At the time the lich king arrived in front of Long Haochen, the Pull ability of the Saint Spiritual Stove lost effectiveness, therefore the last blow filled with sword intent didn’t have effects either. The lich king unexpectedly turned into fog and let the Aria of the Goddess of Light pass through.
Fog transformation? No, this enemy is actually a specter-like existence!
Long Haochen was greatly startled, and almost unconsciously made an instant reaction. A strong multicolored golden light was abruptly shot from the Divine Snail Shield, to land onto the fog issued from the lich king.
Immediately, a mournful scream was heard. The purplish black fog streaked over a thousand meters away at rapid speed, before retransforming into the lich king’s looks. But her body was clearly unstable floating in the sky, visibly wounded.
As a divine tool transformed from a Starlight Divine Beast, the shield held the purest light attribute. Indeed, without a physical body, the lich king is immune to any physical attack, but the illumination of holy light can wound her. But it requires it to reach a sufficient level of power of course. And the Divine Snail Shield had such an ability.
An intense multicolored golden light travelled through the sky, as Long Haochen finally loosened his breath. Having finally wounded the enemy, he didn’t chase further: the most important thing was to protect Haoyue.
“Looks like I was really underestimating you.” The lich king’s voice was even colder, and this coldness contained an extreme rage.
She was far from using her full power to handle Long Haochen, because of sensing the huge gap separating the enemies and herself. She wanted to keep the most power possible to deal with Haoyue; there’s no way Austin Griffin would be so easy to destroy.
Having already grown his sixth head, even an existence such as the lich king didn’t have an absolute certainty in front of him. But she didn’t expect Long Haochen to actually be so hard to cope with. Being blessed with a spiritual energy of extreme purity and a divine tool such as the Divine Snail Shield, he really managed to hold up the lich king.
At the current time, Haoyue’s purple hexagon started to darken in the sky. His body becoming glittering. One could see his current self to be closer to a giant dragon, instead of a lizard. The six heads looked much closer to dragon heads as well, and he had gained wings similar to a dragons’. His aura also became much more dignified. This evolution was about to complete before long.
Even a powerhouse whose cultivation reaches such a degree as the lich king had, had a great rancor toward Haoyue, and couldn’t help but feel nervous due to that. Having previously experienced the overwhelming battle from that time, she understood the terrifying nature of Austin Griffin the best.
They couldn’t let him escape once again after evolving successfully. Otherwise, there’s no way to know whether they’ll be able to take care of him the next time.
Reaching this point of thought, the lich king let out a screech after looking up, and, immediately, countless balls of light of over one meter diameter each appeared, just like a purple rain of meteors, shooting towards the direction of Long Haochen’s group, including Haoyue and his purple hexagon.
The lich king pointed her staff forward as she chanted continuous raging incantations. In the sky started to appear series of cracks, while a black fog rose all around her.
One could see that after that ascension of purplish black fog, the aura coming out from the lich king became extremely weak. She was indeed wounded by the previous burst of multicolor golden light, having looked down too much on Long Haochen, underrating this god’s chosen one. At this very moment, the lich king came out with her true full strength.
Long Haochen didn’t dare show carelessness. Flying backwards with his comrades at great speed, he got right before Haoyue. Being a single individual, he couldn’t attend to caring for the purple hexagon in the sky, and could only focus on defending Haoyue.
The multicolor golden light once again blossomed, as Shield Wall reconstructed. In the meantime, Long Haochen chanted an incantation alongside Yating. It was for Light Reflection.
