Chapter 638 - v4c23 The Holy Lance of Heaven(5) (2/2)

Ovina could be said to be rather logical. Scarlet was clearly not a threat to her. On the other hand, Brendel, who possessed the Halran Gaia, was a pain.

But as soon as she followed through with the stab, she realized she had made a huge mistake.

Because she felt Scarlet’s staff connect solidly with her back. Ovina’s eyes betrayed her incredulity – how could a mortal who hadn’t even reached the Golden Peak manage to strike her?

What happened to her Destiny’s Privilege?

Scarlet’s attack took all of her effort and while she did strike Ovina’s back, it did not damage the Elite Elf in the slightest. On the other hand, Scarlet herself flew through the air due to the rebound, but according to the Power of the Law, this. .h.i.t, regardless of whether it dealt damage, has completely interrupted Ovina’s channeling attempt.

With a ‘bang’, the black singular point that had been gathering at the tip of the lance belonging to the Elite Elf of the Azure Knight completely dissipated.

An opportunity!

Brendel didn’t know why Scarlet could pierce through Ovina’s Elemental Power, but he knew without a doubt that this was the best opportunity they had. Taking advantage of Ovina’s momentary surprise, he lifted the Halran Gaia and slammed it down violently.

A cacophonous crash sounded. The sword had been gathering Earth’s Power and, in a single moment, that power spread throughout the great hall. Cracks appeared on the stone floor and the layers of earth underneath the stone made crisp cracking sounds as they broke. The entire underground hall crackled and boomed as it started tilting to one side. It seemed it was about to completely collapse.

“Preposterous!”

Ovina finally responded. While she had declared that she possessed the Azure Knight’s powers at her peak, Brendel could tell that this Elite Elf had only inherited that legendary hero’s powers. However, when it came to her combat experience and her ability to control the battleground, she was way too far below the Azure Knight’s level.

The great hall was visibly collapsing. It was only then that the girl of lightning started to panic. She spread her arms and immense Elemental Power covered the entire ground. The collapsing great hall immediately repaired itself, but soon started cracking again. Cold sweat dripped down Ovina’s brow. She slowly came to the realization that she was reaching her limit.

Because William the Silver Storm had joined the battle.

He injected an enlarged Earthquake magic spell into the ground, making the entire great hall shake once again. The columns in the hall fractured and pieces of the shattered ground lifted into the air. Canine-like cracks criss-crossed along the ground. The ground then sank, sliding into the unseen depths underneath the ruin along with the earth and rocks.

The girl of lightning seemed to have finally realized that her defeat was imminent, but she still lifted her head and bit out through gritted teeth. “Don’t think this means you have won!” she declared in fury.

As the entire great hall was breaking into innumerable pieces and crumbling down around them, Ovina stood on the largest rock and looked down at Brendel and Scarlet condescendingly. She reached out a hand and gathered up the Elemental Power that spread throughout the hall before calling out, “Destiny, Fountain of Sparkling Light!”

History unfolded itself like a screen behind her. Countless heroes and legendary s.h.i.+ning moments in history became reality, and then appeared before Brendel.

Brendel couldn’t even place a name for some of them, but there were even some who came after the Azure Knight’s time. Brendel did recognize the Four Wise Men, mainly because he was far too familiar with Sanorso. These summoned beings were formed by fragments of history, but Brendel couldn’t exactly name what kind of existence they were. Rather than Elite Elfs, he thought they were closer to physical representations of some sort of Law.

But clearly, whatever Ovina had summoned wasn’t here to host a tea party.

The girl of lightning pointed downwards with her lance. Her deep and penetrating voice almost overpowered the booming sound of the great hall collapsing. “Heroes are but beings bound by destiny and desire. Their very existence is to ensure that the world follows the predetermined trajectory of destiny. Human, accept their challenge!”

Ten heroes who looked like they walked out of legends rushed towards Brendel. Brendel paled in fright. While he didn’t know how much of the originals’ powers these summoned caricatures possessed, Ovina wouldn’t have let them out if they were too weak.

Destiny’s Elemental Power was a bug. Brendel re-examined the order of the Elemental Powers. In the past, there were actually quite a few players who possessed Destiny’s Privilege, but he had no idea that this Elemental Power would morph into this when it reached the highest limit of the Power of Being.

This was practically having your every heart’s desire brought into existence.

The first to arrive in front of him was the illusion of Sanorso. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the Wind Empress clearly exhibited her true powers. Just as Brendel raised his word in preparation to counter the powerful elf’s attack, Sanorso took a step back and pulled out a series of illusions in front of Brendel.

Nine Luminaries Sword Art!

Brendel instantly realized that his version of Nine Luminaries Sword Art was all but useless in front of the real one. First of all, the magic power wasn’t even on the same level. The ‘Wind Empress’ in front of him seemed capable of producing endless Nine Luminaries Sword Arts and every illusion lasted for a long time so that you couldn’t tell what was real and what was an illusion.

And that wasn’t all, because there was the Flame King Gretel who looked like he was ready to attack at a moment’s notice on the other side. Brendel recalled this king’s Flash Strike Sword Art very well.

Luckily, Brendel had one last trick up his sleeve.

The great hall was disappearing under everyone, but he took a step back. He held onto the arm of the girl with the ponytail with one hand. Scarlet paused momentarily and subconsciously withdrew her hand. “Lord.”

“We can’t win, withdraw!” Brendel answered. He never figured himself as an elite. He lifted his head and took one last look at Ovina above them. All he saw were more and more heroes surging out from the screen of light behind her. His scalp crawled at the sight.

This was a battle that was impossible to win. He didn’t know which game designer came up with this scenario, but what made him more upset was that this scenario actually existed in this world as well.

How was this reasonable?

Brendel shook his head and called out in the direction he remembered William was standing in. “Sir William, we’ll take our leave first!”

Having said that, he held Scarlet’s hand and jumped into the darkness below.
