NOVPUBJust as she was thinking this...
Suddenly, the Decayed Alchemical Beast stopped.
As if it was finally irritated by Talia’s incessant interference, it underwent another transformation, waves began to roll across its body, spreading out.
Until the split second it left its body, it let out a deafening roar that shook heaven and earth. The sonic wave-like solid substances spread across the sky, blowing away the trees on the ground, powerful enough to disperse the clouds in the sky.
The scattered stones and burning wood littered the ground, and the giant noise of collapsing buildings echoed from time to time.
"Ah!"
Facing this unpredictable beast, Talia swiftly covered her ears, wrapped her arms around her head in pain, immobilized for a moment.
Her defensive magic seemed pale and weak against the new attacking approach of the Decayed Alchemical Beast, but she persisted, using all her strength to construct a magic shield.
The roar seemed to shake the entire world, revealing the tyrannical nature of the Decayed Alchemical Beast.
With the end of the roar, the Decayed Alchemical Beast opened its mouth wide, spewing a colorless corrosive breath, enveloping the earth and the skies, even engulfing Talia.
The ground instantly began to corrode like a fluid. Talia reacted and retreated with all her strength, but she was still burnt, leaving bloody traces behind.
Facing this tightrope situation, magic power converged around her, causing layers of rock to shatter. Countless giant cracks spread tremblingly, turning into an abyss, then, black flames rose from the ground, colliding with the corrosive breath in mid-air.
This was a spell taught to her by old friend Pranay - the abyss flames were often effective against unknown substances.
Talia controlled these black flames, they quickly spun around, forming a violent black storm, sweeping towards the Decayed Alchemical Beast.
However, the Decayed alchemical beast roared unwillingly. It twisted itself constructing a wall, repelling all the black flames. Its sonic attack was launched again, piercing Talia’s eardrums directly.
Although Talia blocked most of the attacks with her magic shield, she still felt an unbearable pressure from the sound waves.
She knew that the outcome of this battle would decide the fate of Hyperion.
If she couldn’t hold on, residents in the northwest, Lanci’s family, would also likely be affected.
Under normal circumstances when facing such an opponent, she would certainly choose to run, she had plenty of lifetime to wear down the enemy.
But this time, she couldn’t afford to run.
Talia looked pale, her eyes flashing with a determined light. Even if she used up all her strength, she was determined to stop this beast from finding Hyperion.
"Huh, you’re pretty strong."
But just at that moment...
In her blind spot, a long waiting figure launched towards Talia like a phantom. Flames engulfed her surroundings, pretending to incinerate her to ashes. Even though she increased the gap in an instant, using magic power to neutralize the flames, she was still knocked to the ground under the joint attack of the Decayed Alchemical Beast and the figure.
Meanwhile, Destruction Holy Son Solomon also had numerous burn marks, coughing out a mouthful of black blood as if his internal organs were damaged.
"You can flee, I cannot stop you, but if you wish to die, it won’t be much trouble."
Solomon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, casting a cold glance at Talia.
It wasn’t easy dealing with an Eighth-order. The curse magic that forced feedback on damage had no effect on the Decayed Alchemical Beast, but was extremely dangerous for him.
But now it was two against one, this woman barely managed to keep them at bay. As soon as they confronted her head-on, she would crumble instantly.
"..."
Talia didn’t answer, she looked even worse, but her gaze remained cold and determined.
The most potent being groomed by the Bishop of Destruction, Destruction Holy Son Solomon, despite bearing numerous injuries, remained cautious.
Each time he launched an attack, it would be at the safest moment for him while being the most deadly for Talia.
At that moment, Flame Spells with restraining effects appeared again beneath Talia’s feet.
Talia managed to dodge with great difficulty. Her condition was poor. Even though she managed to evade Solomon’s control, she failed to notice the Decayed Alchemical Beast’s ranged attack. She was once again knocked to the ground, rolling a couple of times.
The mysterious shadow didn’t give her a chance to breathe. Rings of fire rained down, engulfing Talia.
It was a chain of traps.
She could only pick one to avoid between the Decayed Alchemical Beast and Destruction Holy Son Solomon.
She knew this was an impasse but found it hard to extricate herself. Her defeat seemed inevitable given the progression of time.
Just when Talia was gearing up to dodge the control and attempt to withstand the Decayed Alchemical Beast’s strike, an invisible barrier suddenly blocked the flames for her.
She saw the invisible Hyperion lunging at her, hugging her tightly.
Meanwhile, Hyperion’s teardrop-shaped earring shattered just as the barrier disappeared.
This was an earring[the Witch’s Warm Accompaniment] Hyperion had obtained at the second Sanctuary Evil Banquet of the Shadow World. Every twenty-four hours, it could trigger a magic shield that could resist an attack of the Eighth-order.
"Why did you come back?"
Talia wanted to yell at Hyperion, to push her away, but was choked up and couldn’t make a sound.
She knew why Hyperion had come back.
The next second, a pale blue frost spread on the ground, gradually turning into ice and freezing them both together.
Talia and Hyperion were frozen, unable to move and could only feel that their injuries were slowly healing.
