Chapter 427 - 377 : Star Nova (1/2)
Wrath, who was nonchalantly watching the show, suddenly raised his head as a large bird appeared high up in the sky.
”So he can also turn into that?”
The Vermilion Bird glared at the being of light, even without resorting skills, flames were being unleashed from his slowly flapping birds.
Lucy standing on the bird's head, two types of flames joined hands, ready to create absolute chaos. There was an enemy but it was more troublesome than the rest. A golden hammer appeared in the God's hand, it slowly raised it and was about to bang it on the flame bird only for a deafening explosion to occur.
Arthur used [Cascading Flames], which caused much more destruction than he initially thought. The ground was scorched and obliterated, the frozen barrier melted and even Wrath was forced to retreat.
This, however, was but the beginning as Golden flame brighter than the sun appeared above the God of Light. Like a tsunami, the golden flames fell on the white being of light whilst the Vermilion fire enveloped it, dealing massive damage over time and weakening it.
Both the hammer and its wielder were pushed back, the 'God' heavily fell on the ground, causing an intense tremor. The two flames were relentless as they burned everything, shocking the spectators. Despite being far away, they could still feel the intense heat of the bird's flame and blinding light of the golden fire.
”W-what the hell? Is he a shapeshifter?”
Clara, dumbfounded by the spectacle, asked her the newly arrived Artid, who was smiling.
”Shapeshifters can change their aura and appearance but they can't use the abilities of the Race they turn into.”
Even the Flame Crown Prince, who's famous for his strong fire, could nothing but retreat lest he gets melted. More than one time, he wanted to join the battle and kill Arthur but the disparity was just too big. Although unwilling, he still chose to back away and attack when the enemy is distracted.
'Yin and Golden Crow? How?'
Angelina was pushed further back, her clothes were either frozen or burned while her face was pale. She wasn't strong enough to help her sister or even get close. She wished for the butler to quickly arrive before the situation worsen.
With each flap of the lengthy bird's wings, monstrous flame waves would strike the struggling 'God'. Its size was humongous but it couldn't resist the bombardment of the couple.
The Twenty Holy Knights, who were literally sacrificing their Blood Essence to summon their God, sensed how the situation became worse than before.
Without having to talk to each other, they all simultaneously sacrificed everything they got to strengthen their God and complete the summoning.
Their faces became pale and their hair grey whiter. Delia, who was supporting one of the knights while also using her Blood Essence, hesitated as she gazed at the large flaming bird far away.
After an intense internal struggle, she bit her lips and retracted her hand, causing the knight's body to tremble. He was so focused on the prayer so he couldn't ask her why she did that.
As she wasn't as strong as the others, Delia could barely float a few meters in the air. Nonetheless, she used every ounce of her power to fly toward the battle area.
She stopped a distance away from the two fighting parties. She was heavily panting and profusely sweating, this place became a world of fire, hell itself!
Wherever she looked, there was only fire, it wasn't something she could resist or heal. She struggled to see through the fire and after much effort, she spotted a bloodied figure crawling on the ground.
Upon a closer look, it was the female knight who was shot by Lucy's revolver.
The User 'Lucy MoonStar' used [Engulfing Sun]
The User 'Arthur MoonStar' used [Quiet Flames]
… Requesting the permission to fuse [Engulfing Sun]+[Quiet Flames]
Cost: 5000 Mental Power
Cooldown: None
Y/N
Both Lucy and Arthur accepted the fusion. The God of Light, which was enveloped by a pillar thicker than being itself, stood up and waved its golden hammer, extinguishing the surroundings flames. The Knights were doing their prayers wholeheartedly, however, Delia's role was important so, without her, the God couldn't reach its complete state.
It faced the couple and banged its hammer again only for it to be blocked by a golden barrier which absorbed 80% of the damage. The remaining 20% were negated by the Dark Barrier.
