NOVPUBLanci’s move sent the entire battlefield into a fleeting silence.
Both Asksan and the figure in the black cloak were clearly taken aback, their pupils filled with shock and confusion.
The [Nuclear Fusion Wolf]’s eyes were deep, flickering with red, observing everything on the battlefield. But its most arresting feature was the foggy mouth, beneath which the [Abyss Black Worm] was sealed!
The dust and magic energy on the battlefield had all come to a standstill, the spotlight inevitably drawn to this bizarre wolf.
Sigrid, though a Saint of Hegemony, had experienced countless epic-level spells in various death duels. But in this moment, she couldn’t help but part her lips slightly; her heart pounded like a drum.
Asksan’s facial nerves visibly twisted. His initially cold and ruthless eyes sparkled with momentary astonishment. As the Bishop of Nirvana, an unparalleled Sealer of his time, he had never seen such a Sealing Magic or a sealing system summoned beast. What perplexed him even more was why such a gifted Sealer would become the Saint Heir of the Bishop of Hegemony?
Even if the man in the black cloak, due to his covert magic, couldn’t gauge his reaction, it was clear that his entire upper body had stiffened. His inscrutably deep eyes seemed to be forcibly suppressing his emotions. He rarely showed genuine emotional fluctuations, but Lanci’s actions had obviously touched his bottom line!
At this most critical moment.
Sigrid’s eyes surged with a sharp flash like lightning. The full force of her silvery glow erupted, like a dying flash. The power gathering in her hands seemed capable of shattering any obstacle.
She gathered all her strength, unleashing the most powerful blow of her life. She transformed into a comet, instantly launching a formidable punch at the figure in the black cloak!
The whole process was completed in an instant. The speed was so fast that even Asksan who was not far away found it hard to follow her movements. The power of this blow was so strong that it tore the clouds above and revealed a glimpse of the snow-white tundra light.
The man in the black cloak was completely unprepared for this sudden strong attack. He practically had no time to respond, and could only watch as Sigrid’s all-powerful punch hit him hard.
The massive impact sent the black cloaked man flying out, shattering hundreds of meters of ruins. Amid the flying dust, wisps of black smoke emanated from him, while the indelible silver shadow on his chest kept eroding his dark magic power – it was the heavy damage inflicted by Sigrid’s punch.
After successfully hitting the man in the black cloak, it seemed as if Sigrid couldn’t hold on due to the huge drain. She looked as if she was about to lose strength, her legs soft, teetering in mid-air, appearing extremely weak. Only her ruby-like eyes still retained an unshakeable resolve.
"Sigrid! Come!"
Lanci’s voice, even in this ever-changing battlefield, reached Sigrid’s ears clearly.
Or to say, even without words, the moment she locked eyes with Lanci’s emerald pupils, she understood his intention.
After hearing Lanci’s words, there wasn’t a slight hesitation in Sigrid’s weary eyes, she used the last of her strength to swoop towards him.
Lanci also force-fed all the sixth and seventh order purple encapsulated magic cards he had gathered in the capital into the giant wolf’s mouth.
Apart from the [Abyss Black Worm] it had swallowed earlier, the [Nuclear Fusion Wolf] had now taken in hundreds of sealed magic cards.
The [Nuclear Fusion Wolf] could self-destruct and trigger a chain explosion of all the magic cards it consumed!
He would never return the [Abyss Black Worm] to the man in the black cloak!
Sigrid’s figure, originally suppressed mid-air by two powerful forces, now seemed to have been granted new vitality, her body flexibly bent in mid-air, leaping towards where Lanci was under the again closed thunderclouds.
The wind sped up, thunder intensified!
Everything was reaching the decisive moment.
"Asksan, don’t hold back anymore!"
The man in the black cloak, suppressing his dizziness, staggered to his feet and yelled at Asksan, who was still able to obstruct Sigrid.
He knew Asksan was still holding back.
That’s what sealers do, the greater the cost of the sealing skill, the stronger its power.
Sealers would never bring out their last resort which harms the enemy and injures themselves unless absolutely necessary!
Initially, Asksan was in a worse state than him, that cunning Bishop of Nirvana was always on guard against him seizing an advantage at his expense.
Now, with him in a terrible state, there’s no reason for Asksan to have any reservations!
Even if Asksan’s condition becomes similar to his after paying the price, there’s no risk of anyone betraying and killing the other. As Sigrid still hasn’t forced them to play their trump cards, they wouldn’t be greedy for the other’s life at this time.
Asksan’s teeth clenched with a crunching sound, without the slightest hesitation, in an instant he gathered all the remaining magic in his body, and threw the most ruthless sealing spell at Sigrid. Immediately, blood uncontrollably started to gush from his seven orifices.
Getting hit by this move would surely seal Sigrid’s fate!
At this moment when Sigrid had no intention to fight and was determined to escape, it was when she was most exposed and unable to evade!
When the dense grey corrosive aura surged like a storm towards Sigrid’s back, she seemed to experience an unprecedented oppression and danger in her life. Each strand of aura carried a deep-rooted malice, trying to destroy her bones and flesh.
This feeling was like being pierced by countless ice cones in the heart, straight into the soul.
Each bead of sweat from Asksan in the distance seemed to be expressing his determination and madness.
Under his closed eyes, tears and blood intermingled. The severe price he paid became the catalyst for his ruthless spell, awakening a deeply hidden power.
That spell, like chains forgotten by time, depicted a distant era, and a ruthless fate, piercing Sigrid’s heart. At that moment, she heard the sound of her bones breaking, each cell in her body was destroyed, reborn, and then destroyed again by the endless pain, like the endless cycle of waves washing over the beach.
And the end of that sealing spell was bathed in a scarlet blood light. Even if it was unable to directly kill Sigrid, it seemed as if it wanted to eternally imprison her in that moment of agonizing torment, becoming an ominous glowing engraving.
Amid Sigrid’s tragic shriek, the Silver Glow Doll also disappeared.
But Lanci has already stepped forth.
The next second.
He caught her as she fell from the air.
"Ha... ha..."
Off in the distance, Asksan, panting, looked on in satisfaction at a mortally wounded Sigrid, his remaining adversary now only the equally powerless Saint of Hegemony.
The cost of this sealing skill was also immense for Asksan. If not absolutely necessary, he would not have risked it all against Sigrid.
Asksan’s current state was far from the cold and arrogant prior one, his countenance twisted, his body trembling, every muscle revealing to him the enormous cost of the sealing spell he had just exerted.
Even so, he and the man in the black robe had not lost their combat capabilities.
Between them and this insignificant creature that remains, there exists an unbridgeable chasm.
However, in the distance.
Lanci did not show any sign of fear towards Asksan and the man in the black robe.
"..."
Lanci’s eyes were as firm as an ironclad rock, directly staring at Asksan, their deep green radiating an indecipherable expression.
From afar, Lanci stared directly at Asksan.
Only the growth of the wind, enveloping Lanci and Sigrid, and the uproarious roar of the formidable tempest dragons was heard.
Lanci, carrying a nearly unconscious Sigrid, turned and began to walk away.
"Do you think you can escape from under our vigilant watch?! Don’t delude yourself!!"
At that moment, the man in the black robe in the far off distance, despite enduring the pain from Sigrid’s brutal attack, transformed into the Abyss Black Worm targeting Lanci.
This weak creature that they had been ignoring, now somehow managed to seal away his [Abyss Black Worm].
For him, this was nothing short of humiliation!
That arrogant display, whether he still held some confidence or not, was intolerable!
How could he let a mere Saint of Hegemony brazenly take the Bishop of Hegemony and escape in broad daylight, where would they place their dignity!!
However.
Lanci paid no attention to the increasingly menacing man in the black robe.
"Asksan, the next time we meet will be when I reclaim your Original Slabs."
The gust gradually whisked away his figure.
At the same time, the Nuclear Fusion Wolf’s eyes turned entirely red, its body cracked, emitting a frightful glow.
Those eyes, like blood-red gemstones, emanated a breathtaking radiance. Each crevice narrated its power, hotter than destruction and deeper than annihilation. The radiance bursting out pierced through the clouds like a blazing sun!
Under the dazzling white light, silence took over, except for the sound of the harsh gasps of Asksan and the man in the black robe.
This decisive moment became a significant void in time.
Like how the transmission speed of sound is much slower than that of light, Lanci, who was enveloped by the tempest, and Asksan, in that moment, were both oblivious to the resonance of the earth shattering.
When the explosion finally occurred, reverberating throughout Bandera City, the situation in the Protoss Empire, along with the world, changed completely.
The northern tundra of the Protoss Empire.
A small, bright point appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly expanding, accompanied by an intense white light.
Then, the deafening sound of an explosion could be heard, as if the Earth was roaring.
City walls and mountains began to distort and shatter under the rampaging shock waves. The colossal energy flipped the ground, blowing up buildings as if they were made of paper, trees and vegetation were swallowed by the white light.
As time seemed to stretch on, the white light continued to expand and ascend until it cloaked everything in the sky!
The sky was filled with miraculous colors, as though a holy spirit was demonstrating its power, only a thousand suns could compete with its brilliance.
