Chapter 2266 - Beating a Half-Deified (1/2)

Han Sen stood on the lotus mountain, watching with great delight as the blood kirin entered the fray. Han Sen guessed that the creature had finished consuming the black kirin, because it was now half-deified. On top of that, it was still inside the White Bone Hell. The ferocity of its attack sent Edward and Ice Blue Knight King reeling back.

After mere seconds had passed, the blood kirin had already torn two King class Ice Blue Knights to shreds. Joy sparked in Han Sen’s chest as he saw the wretchedly wild face of the creature.

“You guys hold off this beast! I will go after Han Sen,” Edward shouted. He rushed across the battlefield, headed for the lotus mountain with the intent of catching Han Sen once and for all.

The blood kirin was in a killing frenzy, and it paid no attention to guarding its flanks. It pressed the attack against Ice Blue Knight King without sparing a glance at Edward.

Han Sen felt depressed. “This thing’s intelligence needs to be increased.”

Although Fox Queen had whipped Edward and injured him badly in the process, his half-deified body wasn’t to be underestimated. He circled the battle and arrived in front of Han Sen in moments. Han Sen knew that trying to outrun the man with simple speed would be impossible.

Han Sen slapped the Blood Scorpion Jade Drum at his waist, sending a burst of scary sonic power toward Edward’s forehead. The power flew out like a barrage of toxic needles.

Edward grunted dismissively, and his whole body turned to a golden color. The Blood Scorpion’s toxic needles struck the gold body and failed to puncture it.

Edward’s golden form shone like a sun, showering the entire lotus mountain in golden light. Han Sen suddenly felt incredibly heavy, as if he was now shouldering the weight of a mountain. He couldn’t move much at all.

Han Sen knew that he was struggling under the power of that special gold godlight.

After Dukes became Kings, their elemental prowess increased dramatically. They could use their powers to blanket the land around them, laying claim to a large area. Edward’s power was a heavy burden of suppression. It was a little similar to Ice Blue Knight King’s deep blue power.

Edward didn’t hesitate. He reached out to grab the currently-suppressed Han Sen.

Han Sen tried to fight it off, but the King class suppression of the area was far too strong to compete with. Plus, Edward was half-deified. Although Han Sen’s elemental prowess was very good for his level, it didn’t have enough raw strength to counter this attack. He couldn’t beat the suppressing force that was coming down on him.

Edward’s hand had almost reached Han Sen’s neck when suddenly, Han Sen’s hand lifted a small bird’s nest. In his other hand, he raised a big army spear and thrust it toward Edward’s chest.

Edward was shocked. He hadn’t expected Han Sen to brush off his King class area-of-effect technique. They were too close together for Edward to block Han Sen’s, but Edward didn’t hesitate. He ignored Han Sen’s strike and continued reaching out to grab his prey by the throat.

Han Sen was just a Duke. Even if his weapon was deified, it wouldn’t do too much damage to Edward’s half-deified body. If he was able to catch Han Sen at the same time, Edward had no qualm with accepting the strike.

At the moment Edward’s fingers closed around Han Sen’s neck, the Thunder God Spike was plunged into Edward’s armor.

The armor stopped the Thunder God Spike dead, with only an inch of the weapon’s tip embedding itself in Edward’s breastplate.

But the Thunder God Spike’s silver lightning completely ignored the defense offered by that armor. When it discharged, it sent a current of electricity directly into Edward’s body. Edward shook as the power ran through him, and his electrified body was sent flying away.

Dong!
