Chapter 80: The Fall of the Seven Saints
Chapter 80: The Fall of the Seven Saints
The battle between Lin Lei and Afrea had lasted for a full fifteen minutes. In this kind of battle at supersonic speed, bystanders could not see the movements of the two at all.
In this place, only the lava was boiling, and the wild wind was howling!
Afrea could not keep up with Lin Lei’s speed. She could only perform almost instinctive defense and counterattacks within the smallest range. In her eyes, this Demon had turned into a wind-like black shadow, seeming to penetrate her defensive line at any moment.
With a “Whoosh!”, Lin Lei crossed paths with Afrea again. But this time, Lin Lei accurately seized the flaw when Afrea’s old power had just faded, and new power had not yet arisen.
His figure had already passed by, but the spear swept backward at the same time, a move similar to a back-thrust.
Afrea only felt a sharp wind scrape behind her, and an involuntary shiver rose in her heart. She rushed forward with her whole body, but still did not completely avoid this unpredictable attack.
Her entire left arm lost sensation and was almost cut off by the spear tip, while her entire back also felt a terrifying burning sensation.
But she had no time to check the injury on her back, because Lin Lei’s attack clung to her like a maggot gnawing on a bone.
“Ah!” Afrea ignored everything and swung her sword with all her might toward the direction the attack came from. The energy sword shadow brought up was nearly a hundred meters long. At the same time, she desperately prepared to unleash her combat technique: Chaotic Storm!
Silently, gray mist like light smoke began to appear on the battlefield. One piece, two pieces, three pieces, they began to rotate around Afrea.
A certain spot on the ground was lightly grazed by this gray mist, and then it was silently erased, leaving only a smooth, mirror-like cut.
But, only three pieces of this gray mist appeared, and everything stopped there!
Afrea opened wide her pure eyes, which seemed covered with a light mist, and looked in astonishment at the spear tip shimmering with golden light that pierced through her chest.
And four meters behind her, Lin Lei’s Demon Crystallized Mecha hovered in the air in a peculiar posture, just managing to avoid the invasion of the Chaotic Storm that had just whipped up.
“You… you! Cur… sigh…” Afrea turned her head with difficulty, looking at the Demon whose black halo was gone and whose whole body had become crystal clear! She wanted to trigger a Curse, but in the end, she let out a long sigh. Indeed, all Demons were incredibly cold creatures!
Life had already left her, and the Dimensional Law she had comprehended also turned into light smoke. Lin Lei shook his spear violently, and this woman, who was still proud and confident half an hour ago, was turned into powder by the violent energy.
“The Host independently killed a B-rank Energy Controller. Battle rating S. Level 3 Strengthening permission increased. Current total progress is 76/100.”
The ground in this place was still boiling, shining with the light of dark red lava. At this moment, Lin Lei, standing alone in it, truly lived up to the title of Flame Demon Lord.
Thousands of meters away, three High Priests sighed at the same time: “She is dead! Prepare to attack.”
And the two Archmages watching the battle also had expressionless faces.
“Warning, there is an ultra-high energy gathering reaction around the Host. Danger level: SSS! The System forcibly activates Emergency Mode!”
In the next moment, Lin Lei lost control of his body, and the entire Demon Crystallized Mecha was under the control of the System.
Subsequently, the Crystallized Mecha radiated brilliant energy light. This was the photon scattering effect that inevitably accompanied the flow of ultra-high energy inside the Mecha.
Lin Lei felt the energy operation status of the Mecha through brainwaves. He discovered in horror that the output power of the Mecha at this moment had become a terrifying 10W Standard Energy Level, which was more than twelve times his upper limit, and it was still rising rapidly.
“Mecha energy output reached the upper limit. Current total energy output is 15W Standard Energy Level per second. Opening Full-Dimension Energy Shield. Power consumption is 14W Standard Energy Level per second. Energy Shield strength is 2W Standard Energy Level!”
And the Energy Binding Weapon in Lin Lei’s hand also changed its appearance at the first moment, turning into a thin line a full six meters long. Yes, a thin line. Its energy was highly compressed, and the energy density inside reached a shocking level.
But what was equally shocking was that even under such high energy density, this Energy Binding Weapon did not leak a single bit of energy. There was no heat radiation, nor visible light radiation. If not for the fact that the light in the places where the thin line passed was slightly distorted, Lin Lei would not have discovered its existence at all!
The System had just completed this modification when the ultra-high energy attack he mentioned earlier appeared. Thousands of meters away, three golden divine lights attacked the Crystallized Mecha in a spiral trajectory.
The three attacks began to merge into one while in the air, forming a more complex triple-helix energy structure.
“The Host is locked by this attack. The Dimensional Law contained in this attack is the Second Dimension: Aggregation, the Fourth Dimension: Order, the Sixth Dimension: Creation. The attack effect kills the target by massively proliferating residual substances inside the target’s body and reconstructing the target’s operating laws.”
“Boom!” The Crystallized Mecha suddenly disappeared from the spot. It broke the sound barrier just as it started, issuing a strong sonic boom, and reached 20 times the speed of sound after 0.01 seconds.
This kind of acceleration, even with Lin Lei’s current body, was difficult to bear. He only felt his vision go black, and a blackout condition actually occurred.
Fortunately, the control of his body was not in his hands, otherwise it would definitely have resulted in the destruction of the Mecha and the death of the person!
The speed of the Demon Mecha was so fast that even though the triple-helix divine energy had locked onto the target, it was difficult to catch up for a moment and could only follow futilely behind the Mecha.
While heading toward the location of the three High Priests, the System’s attack also did not stop for a moment. The extremely simple thin line in its hand trembled constantly, and straight-line, substantive energy attacks left the body one after another.
This attack method was exactly the same as the System’s performance on the Night Demon Mecha, but at that time, due to the material and energy limitations of the Night Demon Mecha, it only had the power for one strike. But the current Crystallized Mecha could supply energy almost infinitely.
On the other side of the battlefield, the Archmage of the City of Saints saw this scene: a triple-helix divine energy attack chasing closely, a blurry, ultra-high-speed moving luminous body, and the three High Priests opposite the luminous body who had opened Energy Shields and were struggling to support themselves!
One Archmage shouted out of control: “Damn it, this Demon has been hiding his weakness all along. Now is his full strength. Not good! The three High Priests are probably no match. We must join the fight!”
“Curse! May this Demon fall into the eternal pain of order and light!” The other steady Archmage started his attack directly.
But that high-speed moving luminous body was not affected at all. There was no change in either movement speed or attack intensity.
This was the defensive effect of the Full-Dimension Energy Shield opened by the System.
The Energy Shields of the three High Priests shattered silently, scattering on the ground like crystal glass fragments, and then slowly evaporating into light rays and disappearing.
Although they were more than ten kilometers away, the two Archmages of the City of Saints could almost imagine the shock and despair of the three High Priests!
In the next instant, the High Priests of the City of Saints, Saints who had mastered at least three major Dimensional Laws, were silently passed through their relatively weak bodies by semi-transparent energy blades.
The three Saints! They were directly stirred into an unknown number of fragments. Moreover, no blood spilled from their flesh. The wounds were scorched, and the blood was evaporated.
And the triple helix that had been following behind the Mecha also dissipated into nothingness.
The System’s methods were far more decisive than Lin Lei’s, truly cold to the extreme!
Seeing this situation, one of the two Archmages was stunned, while the other began to prepare his strongest attack.
But they both had some oversights. That was, Lin Lei was more than ten kilometers away from them, so their Energy Shields were opened a second too slow.
All their thoughts were on the Demon in the distance, but they ignored other dangers!
Two energy rays with an intensity of only dozens of Energy Levels, but coming from the sky, silently hit them.
Compared with the attack methods mastered by the Saints, their unprotected bodies were incredibly fragile. These two energy rays easily took their lives.
The two Archmages were burned into charcoal by the energy of dozens of Energy Levels without making a sound.
Lin Lei also saw this incredibly stunned result. He looked up at the sky and saw a special express Sky Shuttle approaching him rapidly.
The Sky Shuttle stopped in front of Lin Lei. The cabin door opened, and Li Yi walked out from inside. He shouted loudly to Lin Lei: “Leizi! Get on quickly!”
Lin Lei immediately suppressed his full heart of doubts, put away the Crystallized Mecha, and quickly boarded the express Sky Shuttle.
Subsequently, the Sky Shuttle rushed out of Montokas Star at high speed.
On the Sky Shuttle, Lin Lei found that Xiao Boru, Li Dasong, and Li Yi were all there. He asked in surprise: “Why are you guys here?”
Li Dasong scratched his head and said a bit unnaturally: “Old Xiao asked us to come together. The Sky Shuttle was also brought out by Old Xiao. Actually, I’m not quite sure what’s going on either.”
“Old Xiao?!” Lin Lei turned to Xiao Boru.
At this time, Xiao Boru was remotely controlling the special express Sky Shuttle that Lin Lei had left on Agana Star. Hearing this, he turned his head and said: “Those people from the Watcher Civilization were scared out of their wits by the Saints. They deified the other side in their hearts. As soon as they heard that Montokas Star was blockaded, they pulled their heads back. Actually, only the teleportation function was blockaded. Sky Shuttles can still fly freely. Young man, seeing you still alive, I am very happy.”
“It’s really good to see you guys!” In times of danger, one sees the true heart. Only at this kind of juncture could one truly see who was truly reliable.
“Leizi, you are too amazing. I saw everything clearly on the Sky Shuttle. Those so-called ‘invincible’ Saints were just cut by you as easily as cutting vegetables.” Li Yi’s eyes shone with wonder. He never thought that this former friend had actually reached this level.
He had no jealousy in his heart, only felt incredibly excited.
Li Dasong looked at Lin Lei with worship and could not speak.
“Don’t, don’t, there’s nothing to envy about this kind of life-and-death business. Also, who killed those two Archmages? One shot each, that was truly a relaxed and easy strike, unlike me who had to fight for my life.” Lin Lei said, now feeling sad for those two guys who died so inexplicably.
Xiao Boru was obviously in a very good mood. He laughed loudly: “Actually, your previous actions attracted all their attention, and their Energy Shields were not open yet. Such a good opportunity, I just used a small energy gun to fire two shots. It was just luck, didn’t expect it, really didn’t expect it.”
He didn’t expect that two shots would turn them into two pieces of charcoal.
“However, young man, don’t work so hard next time. If you keep walking on the edge of life and death like this, something will happen sooner or later!”
Xiao Boru said with a serious face.
Lin Lei’s expression also became solemn. He sighed deeply: “There are some things I have to do.”
