248 Space Storm (1/2)
What called the attention of Heinz was that there were only forty-seven Rank 4 life forms instead of the forty-nine that appeared last time. Two Angelic Paragons were missing. There was also the fact that the rest of the army did not accompany them.
The Cultivator could not help but feel uncomfortable when he saw those changes. His consciousness did not detect anything off, and thanks to his domain over the Law of Space no Rank 4 life form should be able to hide from him.
There was a possibility that those Angelic Paragons were needed in another place, after all the Heavenly race had to control not just this continent but the entire world. As for the rest of the army, maybe they decided that since they no longer had the Origin Runic Set, their participation would be futile.
Despite those perfectly valid and highly feasible reasons, Heinz still felt that something was wrong, but he did not have time to think since the dukes along with the rest of the warriors of the Heavenly race infiltrated the Second Layer and launched themselves against their counterparts.
Very soon a balance was reached between both sides. Marvelous phenomenon and supernatural creatures, each one covering thousands of meters, appeared on the sky as both sides released their Law Avatars.
They all fired attacks that filled the sky with explosions of all colors and the elements acted as if they were in a frenzy, with immense storms appearing around the battlefield.
Heinz fought against the Angelic Paragon with crystal wings and four Rank 4 Angels of Supremacy.
A river of lightning, hundreds of small meteorites, countless ice sharks, and long vines full of thorns assaulted the Cultivator from all sides.
The skin of the swordsman had a metallic red color due to Demodand Blood Drive. He moved through those attacks with amazing dexterity and just as a meteorite was about to crash on him, he blasted it to pieces with a single punch before sending an arc of sword energy against the river of lightning and split it.
From behind him a tide of vines approached with great speed and ahead there were ice sharks that blocked his path.
Heinz's eyes were cold, thanks to the artifact armor and his powerful body even if the attacks landed point-blank they would not be able to truly harm him, but he was not someone who would choose to resist when he could destroy the obstacles on his path.
He flashed forward with amazing speed, leaving behind the vines. He used his body and sword to crush the sharks until he reached the Angel of Supremacy that had launched them.
The eyes of the Angelic Paragon widened as he saw the attack that was about to land on him. He was sure even with the artifact armor, he would end up severely injured.
Just as Heinz was about to hack the body of his opponent, two ten thousand meter snakes made of crystal attacked him.
They were the Law Avatar of the Angelic Paragon with wings made of crystal. Their power and speed were impressive, even though they were weakened by the force field.
Heinz's eyes narrowed when he detected those snakes. In an instant, the dark glow on his sword changed into a thick killing intent.
”Annihilation Ocean!”
A red ocean assaulted the two crystal snakes and the Angel of Supremacy near him.
The Angel of Supremacy suffered severe wounds but his life was saved thanks to his armor. A great part of the snakes was shattered under the might of the ocean.
There was an immense rage in the heart of the Angelic paragon when she saw the state of her Law Avatar. The effect of the Second Layer was more significant than she originally thought.
A diminish in fifty percent of your battle power doesn't mean that you could equal your previous might if there was a perfect copy of you. Her speed was too slow compared to Heinz, who could use his dexterity and the Law of Space to move around the battlefield and her strike power could not compete against the attacks of the Cultivator.
