81 Chapter 81: The White Valkyrie (1/2)
Both Terence and Lily suddenly realized how massively disadvantaged they were. Unfortunately, Terence was unable to act much. Suddenly facing two opponents instead of one, he found himself pushed back.
Wham!
Nicholas was able to smack his face before running a series of punches down to his chest, shocking him. Growling in irritation, Terence swatted him away, but Nicholas managed to parry the blow and skidded backward. Spinning around, he made use of his momentum to deliver a kick to the advancing Terence, knocking the guy back a few steps.
Then Elliot swung his axe, the huge blade cleaving through the back of Terence's neck. The huge guy toppled over, unconscious. Normally, that would mean his death, a decapitating blow that would have removed his head for sure, but the boundary field had preserved his life, allowing him to retain his head but knocked him out.
There was only one opponent left.
Elliot, Nicholas and I didn't move in, however, because Dong Fang Yue Chu already had the situation well in hand.
Lily Liam was striking fiercely with her lance, but Dong Fang Yue Chu calmly deflected it away with his bare palms. Perhaps that was inaccurate, for Dong Fang Yue Chu's hands were blazing with his Pure Yang Fire, which almost melted Lily's lance into slag while protecting his palms. Knocking the sharp end of the red-hot spear to the side, Dong Fang Yue Chu whirled inside and slammed his fiery palm toward Lily's well-endowed chest.
However, Lily raised her shield and managed to block the attack, but just barely. Her shield shattered and she staggered back from the impact with a curse. Twirling her spear around, she forced Dong Fang Yue Chu back, and then retreated.
”No choice…” she muttered, her eyes darting toward where Elliot, Nicholas and I stood. As much as we wanted to join in and finish the match off as quickly as possible, we recognized that this was Dong Fang Yue Chu's fight.
It would be impolite for us to intervene. Dong Fang Yue Chu deserved the chance to get into the spotlight for once.
Lily decided to make use of this chance to summon her own soul beast. A flash of light filled the arena, and the next moment she was riding on top of a winged horse. Gripping the reins, she had her horse charge forward.
”!!!”
Dong Fang Yue Chu sensed danger and he quickly dove to the side before Lily's lance could strike him. The heavy weapon gouged a huge trail into the concrete ground, tearing out a slough of the reinforced material and throwing bits into the air.
”Her destructive power has multiplied by several times!” Nicholas murmured, amazed. Elliot nodded, a frown curling over his face.
”Should we intervene?”
”I'm fine. Leave this to me.”
We stopped when Dong Fang Yue Chu raised a hand to stop us. Taking a deep breath, he gathered more flames into himself, and surrounded himself in an inferno.
”It's useless. You won't be able to withstand my charge now.”
Digging her heels in, Lily directed her summoned horse to charge at Dong Fang Yue Chu again. Right now she recognized that she had a low probability of winning, and she was fighting purely for pride now. As long as she could take out at least one other member of our team, she would have achieved a moral victory.
She was going to fight until the end.
Before her horse and she could reach Dong Fang Yue Chu, however, the fire mage called up a huge curtain of Pure Yang Flames. Lily wasn't able to stop her charge in time and ended up barreling right through the thick screen of flames.
”Ugh!”
Lily cried out in pain as the purifying flames scorched her. Her horse neighed in agony as the Pure Yang Flames seared through its silver-white body, blackening its once pristine fur and melting the armor and metallic ornaments into slag.
The horse then toppled over, throwing Lily off, disappearing into wisps of spiritual energy. Lily hit the ground and rolled to her feet, bringing her lance up for a counterattack. However, Dong Fang Yue Chu did not close in on her at all.
”!!”
Lily retreated a few steps, watching him warily. Dong Fang Yue Chu merely smiled and shrugged, spreading his hands to show that he was unarmed. Obviously it was a deceptive move, given how he didn't need weapons.

”I didn't think you would have mastered the legendary Pure Yang Flames,” Lily remarked as she wiped soot and perspiration from her face. She glanced at the space where her summoned horse had been a few seconds ago. ”The Pure Yang Flames that is said to be able to destroy any monsters and purify them, as well as damage Divine Devices.”
Monsters seemed to have a close relationship with soul beasts, so generally spells and magic that were effective against monsters also tended to be excellent against soul beasts. That was why Lily's horse was vulnerable to the purifying effects of Dong Fang Yue Chu's Pure Yang Flames. Of course, elemental affinity helped too. Dong Fang Yue Chu's Pure Yang Fire wouldn't be a good match against my fire-type Vermillion Phoenix or water-type Black Tortoise, for example.
Otherwise Dong Fang Yue Chu would practically become invincible against all monsters. Additionally, power helped too. If the monster was powerful enough, it didn't matter what kind of elemental disadvantage it was up against. It would survive a blast from Dong Fang Yue Chu's Pure Yang Flames.
