Chapter 277: The Final Battle (Part 2)
Chapter 277: The Final Battle (Part 2)
"Haa!"
With a grunt, Karl unleashed the surging energy within, stabilizing the shaking Twelve Star Palace.
The self-destruction of a High-rank Servant was no trivial matter.
Avoiding it wouldn't be too troublesome, but choosing to withstand it directly would be extremely taxing, even for him.
Fortunately, there was a silver lining to this.
Essence +23
With a thought, he channeled all the power into his Mental Power.
His Mental Power value instantly surpassed the forty-mark, reaching forty-two, solidifying his status as a Second Circle Wizard. The power of his wizardry surged accordingly.
"Huff..."
He exhaled a cloud of foul air, only now having the leisure to observe the battlefield.
The battle raged on.
Mewaya, transformed into a six-tailed Sapphire-Eyed Fox, clashed head-on with Ferdinand, whose height exceeded ten meters, stirring up hurricane-like winds.
Aria, wielding her Ice Soul Spear, seized every opportunity to strike, her timing impeccable despite her slower frequency, forcing Ferdinand to retreat and forfeit a nearly secured chance.
"You're asking for death!"
After repeated unsuccessful charges, Ferdinand witnessed Karl about to join the fray, which incited his fury.
He waved his hand, and a piece of cloth rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Darkness shrouded the land.
A barrier?
Karl's heart raced.
In that instant of the cloth's expansion, he felt utterly isolated from this world, unable to return to the Divine Realm.
Tier Four!
Perhaps even a Tier Five Holy Artifact!
Only a Holy Artifact could prevent him from returning to the Divine Realm.
Karl wasn't surprised that Ferdinand possessed a Holy Artifact, as even Mewaya had two, and it was only natural for a Demigod Duke to have one, if not more.
"Huff..."
Ferdinand's figure abruptly vanished.
"Be careful!" Mewaya, in her fox form, screamed, "It's Shadow God Leather! Within its shadow's range, he can appear anywhere. Aria, be on your guard..."
"Bang!"
Before she could finish, a colossal fist appeared behind her, slamming into the fox's back.
Interrupting her mid-sentence.
"Ah!"
Amidst her cry of pain, a black wind enveloped Ferdinand, and his body seemed to dissipate as he lunged towards the two women.
Tier Four Odd Artifact - Night!
Tier Four Odd Artifact - Blessing of the Crescent Moon!
Mewaya's expression shifted slightly, as she had suspected Ferdinand possessed Tier Four Odd Artifacts, but not to this extent.
Especially the Blessing of the Crescent Moon, a single-use Odd Artifact, which withstood nearly half of the women's combined assault, ensuring Ferdinand's injuries were non-fatal.
Dodging the attack, Mewaya sought an opportunity, and as she did, she roared towards the sky:
"Karl!"
"I know."
Karl had been observing the battlefield, but the rapid changes left him unable to find a suitable opening.
He quickly checked his possessions.
The Soul Centipede, severely damaged by the High-rank Servant's self-destruction, two Wizard Towers, one damaged and the other depleted of energy, and the Soul Curse, torn apart...
"Go!"
With a flick of his finger, the Second Circle Peak Flame Giant pounced forward.
A product of the Secret Order's top-tier inheritance, the Flame Giant possessed the power to incinerate all, rivaling a Second Circle Peak powerhouse.
And being a manifestation of Mental Power, it was impervious to physical attacks, requiring no defense.
Simultaneously...
The damaged Wizard Tower unleashed its final Demon God's Gaze, then lost its power and began to fall downward.
"Looks like we're in for a tough fight!" Karl clenched his teeth and reached into his pocket, pulling out several runes.
Late Second Rank Runes—Flame Phoenix!
"Huff..."
A hot wind suddenly blew through the area, like the scorching winds from a desert or volcanic region, causing pain even as it brushed past their skin.
"Gua!"
A strange cry echoed.
Six Flame Phoenixes appeared from the void, their golden wings spreading wide as they flew towards Ferdinand.
Each of these Flame Phoenixes was as powerful as a Tier Two Peak expert, and together with the Flame Giant, they charged forward in unison.
Karl followed closely behind.
"Boom!"
In terms of true strength, Karl was no match for Mewaya or Ferdinand.
But he had many tricks up his sleeve. Just now, his charge, comparable to ten Tier Two Peak experts, lit up the entire battlefield.
Even a Tier Three expert would be hard-pressed to withstand such an assault.
"Puff!"
Ferdinand coughed up blood and stumbled backward, his eyes filled with shock.
"Good!"
The original novel is available at 69shu.com!
Mewaya was overjoyed.
She had never expected Karl to possess such a powerful technique in addition to the Twelve Star Palace. In one strike, he had severely wounded Ferdinand.
Karl's expression, however, grew slightly somber.
He had nearly exhausted all his tricks, and with the two women restraining his target, he could only further aggravate the injury. He hadn't managed to deliver a fatal blow.
If...
'No wonder he's a Demigod. His physical strength is even more exaggerated than the Seventh Holy Demonic Transformation. It's probably comparable to the Eighth!'
'If it weren't for the three of us working together, the outcome would have been different with just one less person.'
"Again!"
Aria shouted, "One more time, and we can take his life!"
"Ugh..." Karl's mouth twitched, "I can only use this technique once, but it doesn't matter now. He no longer has a chance to win."
Not only had he exhausted the runes in his hand, but the Flame Giant was also on the verge of collapse due to Ferdinand's counterattack. This creature was connected to his Inner Sea of the Mind, and if it collapsed, he would also suffer severe injuries.
"Not good!"
Mewaya's expression changed, "He's trying to escape!"
"Swoosh!"
The void tore open, and the Sapphire-Eyed Fox instantly appeared behind Ferdinand, its tail lashing out and wrapping around him.
Suddenly, a weaving shuttle appeared in the air, emitting a faint divine light.
"That's..."
"Thread of Destiny!"
Aria's voice trailed off in shock, "How is it possible for him to control a Holy Artifact?"
In this world, the Goddess of Fate had a loom, and the most important part of it was the shuttle.
These shuttles were the crystallization of the Goddess of Fate's divine power, and theoretically, only she could control them.
Not even a Demigod,
let alone any other deity, could do so!
"Swoosh!"
The light from the shuttle enveloped Ferdinand, then transformed into a stream of light that shot upwards.
"Ding..."
"Clang!"
The flying shuttle collided with one of the pillars that made up the Twelve Star Palace, then quickly reversed its course, weaving and colliding with the pillars as it moved back and forth.
"Hmm!"
Karl grunted and staggered backward, "No good, the Twelve Star Palace can't hold on any longer."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Twelve Star Palace, which had enveloped the entire battlefield, rapidly contracted and returned to the Inner Sea of the Mind.
With the restraint gone, the flying shuttle tried to escape.
"Ah!"
Screams and roars filled the air.
The flying shuttle suddenly halted.
Inside, not only was there Ferdinand, but also Mewaya, who had wrapped her tail and claws around him like chains."
Somehow, Mewaya had managed to immobilize the shuttle.
"Attack!"
Mewaya shouted, "Quickly!"
"Mother!" Aria's expression changed. At such close range, it would be difficult to capture Ferdinand without causing her harm.
Karl, however, didn't have as many reservations. He leaped forward, and the Buddha's Incarnation appeared, accompanied by countless palm seals raining down.
Ten Thousand Buddha Palm—Twelve-Strike Technique! "Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
Ferdinand and Mewaya both coughed up blood.
"Scum!"
Ferdinand roared, "Let go!"
"In your dreams!" Mewaya laughed, her mouth wide open as she bit down on Ferdinand's neck.
"Crack!"
His skin and throat were torn apart by her bite.
Her body, in turn, was struck by Ferdinand's elbow and knee, resulting in a frenzy of madness, her bones were broken, and her internal organs shattered, her entire body covered in blood.
The two of them were like madmen, tearing at each other, disregarding their own injuries as they fought desperately.
"Mother!"
"..."
"Boom!"
Karl's battle aura erupted without restraint, and his palm technique seemed to have broken through its limits at that moment.
Immediately after.
A familiar aura surged into his body.
Essence +88!
