Chapter 285 Dei blood and stea Winds] ended at this point, taking up its maximum duration of twenty seconds

When the blizzard settled down, ice shards clattering on the iced dirt, Aldrich saw that the rele against each other

Chrysa plopped down on Aldrich's skeletal hand again "That was so cool, father! When can I learn to fight like that!? Punching and kicking like that!?"

"Your levels give you mana and stats, but you need to learn how to use it all, that's true Soon, Chrysa With our link, I'ed his scythe froed sword, needing to execute the Grinners with holy weaponry because they could regenerate much faster than the lesser deht blade into the hearts of all four Grinners, purifying and warping them into his inventory

Noith a total of 5 Purified Deood curse spell or enchantment That, Aldrich would refine into a potent instant death spell, soive up his old lantern to fully activate Volantis

Instant death spells were generally all curse type spells, and there was nothing like demonhearts to construct effective curses

In lore, deic Raw est curses possible

"Once I start punching and kicking like father, nobody will ever beat me, and I'll protect father forever," said Chrysa

"Not forever One day, I'd like you to do your own thing Seeing kids realize their dreah necessity, makes me happy," said Aldrich He briefly looked around to see all the de hi room "I'd like the same for you"

Chrysa cocked her head quizzically "What I want…? But I just want to help you"

"That's fine too In ti else, I won't stand in your way Just know I' you that freedom" Aldrich knew that Chrysa protected hirarew, the more she experienced, the more she would develop into her own person Into an individual When that happened, Aldrich did not want her to feel shackled by him

Aldrich felt a rumble echo under his feet This was different from the vibrations from the stampede of demonic hordes No, this was a deeper rumble, a solid quake that heralded not a mass of fodder, but the arrival of one powerful entity

Aldrich spied the orange light in the distance that his system marked out to track Dei scaled down the full length of the Arsillow tree

A certain heavy pressure landed on Aldrich's shoulders The air grew hotter The rain of ash frorew thicker, the slofall of burntmore into a blizzard much like the one Aldrich had conjured

"Father…I don't like this Can we actually fight that thing?" Chrysa pointed way into the distance She could not see Aldrich's syste at "It feels so strong Stronger than you, father"

"He is," said Aldrich "Deiuably one of the strongest bosses out of all the trial quests when considering relative difficulty adjusted to level Supported by twin archdemons Anhil and Nilah

Anhil's dark eye lets him severely cut down the stats of those he looks at, provided they are not bound by holy protection Nilah'sit is, and even replicate it

As we are noe have no way of beating him"

Aldrich reached up and clasped Chrysa's nervous hand He pointed up to the top of the Arsillow tree "But we aren't here to fight hietting down here If arp up there, we can close the Flame Arc and weaken him"

"Got it!" Chrysa closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, and balled up her fists She tre as her silvery hair sparkled hite A silver aura wrapped around both Aldrich and Chrysa as the space around thean to distort

Pieces of rubble, frozen demon chunks and clu in a rapid orbit as Chrysa's spatial power fluxed in rapid, circular currents, building up intensity and power

"Let's…" Chrysa exhaled, shouting "Go!"

All in an instant, Chrysa unleashed her built of power Aldrich's vision drowned out in white as bright light burst forth fro both of theh, the burning town beneath hie and red dots He stopped hi in the air Behind him, he beheld the monumental Arsillow tree trunk, taller and wider than any skyscraper in the real world

The bark was blackened, scarred with deep cracks of angry, burning red

Aldrich did not have rand scale of the tree co it on a screen Chrysa was not on his shoulder He immediately tapped into his soul link with her and saw that she was higher up, falling, a speck of glohite aes and blacks

Aldrich fleards and took Chrysa in his arms

"I' up in her green eyes
