Chapter 79: The Valkyrie of Sky City

“You are very calm, and there is no chaotic aura of those legendary Demons on you.”

It was not until Lin Lei followed this suddenly appearing woman to a place thirty miles outside the city that she stopped, turned around, and spoke to Lin Lei.

“Honestly, you don’t look like a guy who kills innocents indiscriminately. I can’t see a trace of madness in your eyes.” She was very puzzled; how could this seemingly rational guy be a terrifying creature like a Demon?

“Don’t be so self-righteous, woman! You don’t know me, and you don’t know the so-called Abyss!” Lin Lei did not want to talk more and just wanted to end the fight quickly. He silently gave an equipment order to the Crystallized Mecha.

The System had already scanned this woman’s detailed data.

Afrea (Sky City Martial Saint)

Height: 170CM

Weight: 55KG

Body Energy Level: 25 Standard Energy Level

Comprehended Dimensions: First Dimension: Disintegration; Third Dimension: Chaos; Fifth Dimension: Annihilation.

Maximum Instantaneous Control Energy: 10,000 Standard Energy Level

Capable of launching entangled attacks of Energy Dimensions (Curse)

Combat Technique: Rapid Neural Response

Chaos Storm, a space storm stirred up by tangled three-dimensional Dimensional Strings. Any object within it will be annihilated. Activation preparation time: 0.5 seconds.

Damn it, another one of these indefensible Dimensional energy attacks. This meant that Lin Lei had to keep this woman named Afrea tied up with continuous attacks. If she managed to activate her Combat Technique, Lin Lei would have to accept his fate. Unless he activated Emergency Mode, he would definitely be swept away by this Chaos Storm, leaving not even a bone behind.

“Between you and me, there is only battle!”

The distance between the two was about fifty meters. Lin Lei began to sprint toward Afrea, and during this process, he leaped up. By the time he landed, he was already equipped with the Demon Crystallized Mecha.

Subsequently, the black Mecha turned into a stream of light and shot toward Afrea as if teleporting. In the Mecha’s hand was the black crystallized spear that had killed Archmage Saint Anthony.

This run, transformation, and attack were completed in one breath, and the whole process took less than 0.3 seconds.

When Lin Lei reached Afrea, he had already broken the sound barrier. In Afrea’s eyes, this black Demon had instantly entered a silent domain. His explosive physical power was far beyond her reach.

But she could use the energy controlled by the Dimensional Law to catch this explosive attack. The giant sword on her back was not for show, but a genuine lethal weapon!

Just as Lin Lei charged at her, she also slashed her long sword toward him at the same moment. The sword blade, originally less than one and a half meters long, grew to dozens of meters long during the downward chop, and wisps of mist-like storms coiled around the sword body.

Damn, why is this woman so fierce! She could even react to this. Lin Lei cursed inwardly. He did not dare to take this attack head-on, which clearly fused Dimensional Laws. He could only forcefully change the Mecha’s direction at the last moment. The Mecha, originally moving in a straight line, forcibly drew an arc, dodging the energy greatsword, but his spear still stabbed toward Afrea.

Afrea’s attack energy was not inherent but was energy indirectly controlled through the Dimensional Laws she had comprehended. She was also an Energy Controller, though her method differed from the Mages of Sky City and the Priests of the Holy City.

She had integrated the Laws of Dimensions into her martial arts, which essentially improved her martial arts’ attack power. However, since this power was not entirely her own, it was far less flexible to control than Lin Lei’s.

At least after Lin Lei changed direction, she could not continue to manipulate the energy greatsword to slash sideways. She could only choose to retreat and prepare to launch the Chaos Storm.

She had already realized that in terms of martial arts alone, her speed could not compare with this Demon at all. Even if her attacks were sharp, they could not hit him. She had to adopt the most violent solution.

But Lin Lei’s speed was too fast, so fast that Afrea could only retreat repeatedly, unable to find any time to activate her Combat Technique. Yes, she couldn’t even spare 0.5 seconds!

She could only continuously use the energy greatsword to defend and slowly fell into a predicament.

Lin Lei’s Mecha turned into black lines, constantly attacking around Afrea. Due to the continuous high-speed movement, the energy bound within the black energy spear also dissipated. The golden energy light shining from the black spear body made Afrea’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

On the ground where the two fought, the surface layer had been forcefully scraped off, and the ground glowed with high-temperature red light, like volcanic lava. This was the result of continuous radiation from high-intensity energy.

This nearly evenly matched battle made Lin Lei’s blood begin to boil. His Combat Element Condensation started to fully activate. Even if this female Martial Saint’s occasional counterattacks were bizarre and ingenious, Lin Lei could see through and dodge them in advance.

His speed became faster and faster. The black halo used by the Demon Crystallized Mecha for disguise gradually faded, revealing the true appearance of the Galaxy’s perfect Crystallized Material, Li Wen Jin. It was nearly as transparent as crystal and also shone with blinding white light.

This battle was very strange. From beginning to end, their weapons never made direct contact. Afrea grew more and more alarmed as she fought. This Demon’s combat skills had reached the absolute peak. At least among the warriors she had seen, no one had ever been able to do this.

He was clearly at a disadvantage in everything, not even daring to take her weapon head-on, yet he had truly forced her into a desperate situation during the battle. As long as she was slightly distracted, what awaited her was the result of being pierced by a spear.

Not to mention the Combat Technique Chaos Storm, Afrea did not dare to cast the almost instant Curse attack either. That would surely result in mutual destruction, which was not what she wanted.

At this time, several kilometers away from the battle site, three High Priests whose bodies were shrouded in golden holy halos watched the battle from afar.

“I have to say, this Demon Lord indeed has extraordinary qualities. At the beginning, that Afrea from Sky City might have been a bit careless, but now, she has already gone all out, yet she still cannot stop the situation from deteriorating,” a Priest said.

“Shall we go help?” another Priest asked.

“No, this is Sky City’s business. We just need to watch and prepare to clean up the mess. That female Martial Saint did not launch a Curse attack at the first moment, which was a fatal mistake. There is no need for us to make up for her negligence.”

“No, according to intelligence, this Demon possesses powerful Curse resistance. Activating a Curse first would probably only provoke the Demon’s crazy counterattack! To be absolutely safe, let’s use powerful energy attacks to directly erase him.”

“Alright then, let’s start preparing the attack. As soon as that female Martial Saint is defeated, we will destroy that Demon!”

“Of course, it’s easy. Let’s get ready.”

On the other side, there were also two Archmages watching the battle. The energy fluctuations here were so intense that it was hard not to attract attention.

“This Demon’s strength doesn’t look like much, taking so long to deal with a woman,” one of them said in a mocking tone.

“I suppose if Anthony hadn’t been injured first, he wouldn’t have been successfully ambushed. Back then, Anthony single-handedly killed three Demons of this type.”

“Don’t forget how Anthony got injured before; he is also partly responsible for the destruction of Roland City. Regardless, Anthony failed, and this Demon is still alive and kicking, fighting someone,” the other Archmage’s words sounded much more impartial.

“You… alright, you have a point. There’s no need for us to argue over a dead man. Look, three High Priests from the Holy City came, those timid and cautious guys. They really think highly of him. After this female Martial Saint is defeated, let’s attack simultaneously. Being killed by five Saints working together is an honor for this Demon.”

“No, let’s not pursue these vain things. Based on the combat power this Demon has shown, the attack of three High Priests is enough to erase him. Let’s stay here to deal with unexpected situations. I always feel things aren’t that simple!”

“…Alright, you have a point. I’ll listen to you this time!”
