Chapter 335: A Thousand Suns on the Northern Snowfield
Chapter 335: A Thousand Suns on the Northern Snowfield
Lanchi's move caused the entire battlefield to fall into a brief silence.
Askecsun and the man in black had clearly not expected such an outcome, and their eyes were filled with shock and confusion.
The eyes of the Nuclear Fusion Wolf were deep and glowing red, observing everything on the battlefield. But what drew the most attention was its mist-covered maw, from which emerged the Abyssal Black Insects, now sealed within its jaws!
The smoke and magical energy on the battlefield stagnated, and all eyes were drawn to this mysterious wolf.
Even Sigrid, a member of the Dominant-Teaching Church, who had experienced countless epic spells beyond reason in various life-and-death battles, couldn't help but part her lips slightly, her heartbeat drumming in her ears.
Askecsun's facial nerves twitched visibly, and a glint of surprise flashed in his usually merciless and cold eyes. As the foremost sealing master in the world and a Bishop of the Extinct Church, he had never seen a sealing spell or summoned beast of this lineage. What puzzled him even more was why a sealing master with such extraordinary talent would become the Holy Son of the Dominant-Teaching Church?
Although the man in black's hidden magic made it impossible to discern his reactions, it was clear that his entire upper body had stiffened. Those originally unfathomable eyes now seemed to be forcefully suppressing his emotions. Rarely did he reveal genuine emotional fluctuations, but Lanchi's actions at this moment had clearly touched a nerve!
At this critical juncture, lightning-like sharp light flashed in Sigrid's eyes, and she erupted with the silvery radiance of her prime. It was as if she was putting up a last stand, and the power gathered in her hands seemed capable of shattering any obstacle.
Mustering all her strength, she unleashed the most powerful strike of her career, her body transforming into a comet. In an instant, she delivered a punch that seemed capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth, aimed directly at the man in black!
The entire process happened almost instantaneously, so fast that even Askecsun, who was not far away, struggled to capture her movements. The power of this strike was so immense that it tore through the clouds above, briefly revealing the white light of the snowfield.
The man in black had not anticipated this sudden and forceful attack, and he had almost no time to react. He could only watch as Sigrid's full force strike landed squarely on him.
The tremendous impact sent the man in black flying, crashing through the ruins hundreds of meters behind him. As dust billowed, tendrils of black smoke rose from his body, and the indelible silvery glow on his chest relentlessly eroded his pitch-black magic—the aftermath of Sigrid's extreme ascension punch.
After successfully striking the man in black, Sigrid's body seemed unable to withstand the enormous consumption of energy. She lost her strength, her legs buckled, and she wobbled precariously in the air, appearing exceptionally weak. Only her amethyst-like eyes retained their unwavering determination.
"Sigrid! Come!"
Even in the midst of this ever-changing, life-or-death battlefield, Lanchi's voice rang out with unusual clarity, reaching Sigrid's ears.
Or perhaps, without the need for words, the moment she locked eyes with Lanchi's emerald orbs, she understood his intention.
Upon hearing Lanchi's call, Sigrid's weary eyes showed no hesitation. Mustering her last ounce of strength, she dove towards him.
Lanchi, meanwhile, fed all the purple-tier sealing magic cards he had collected during this time in the Imperial Capital—sixth- and seventh-tier cards—into the giant wolf's mouth, as if feeding it.
Aside from the devoured Abyssal Black Insects, the Nuclear Fusion Wolf devoured several hundred more sealing magic cards in their sealed state.
The Nuclear Fusion Wolf could self-destruct and set off a chain explosion of all the magic cards it had devoured while in its stomach!
He would never return the Abyssal Black Insects to the man in black!
Sigrid's figure, which had been suppressed in the air by the two powerhouses, suddenly seemed infused with new life. Her body arched gracefully, and she pushed off from the air, cutting through the sky beneath the converging thunderclouds, leaving a trail of sharp wind in her wake as she soared towards Lanchi's position.
The wind picked up speed, and the thunder grew more intense!
Everything was building up to the final moment.
"Askecsun, don't hold back anymore!"
The man in black, struggling with dizziness, managed to stand up shakily. He shouted at Askecsun, who was still capable of intercepting Sigrid.
He knew that Askecsun was holding back.
That was typical of sealers—the greater the cost, the more powerful the sealing technique.
Sealers rarely resorted to their most damaging techniques unless absolutely necessary, unwilling to injure themselves in the process.
Initially, Askecsun's condition had been worse than his, and that cunning Bishop of the Extinct Church had been waiting for an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Now that his condition had deteriorated so badly, Askecsun had no reason to hold back!
Even if Askecsun expended resources to match his condition, there was no possibility of either of them turning on each other. Neither of them would risk their lives at this point, especially since Sigrid hadn't managed to force their hands yet.
Askecsun's teeth clenched so hard they made a crunching sound, and without hesitation, he channeled all his remaining magic power and unleashed the most vicious sealing spell he could muster, causing blood to gush uncontrollably from his seven orifices.
As that move landed on Sigrid, her defeat was sealed!
In the moment that Sigrid no longer intended to fight and resolved to flee, she also exposed her most vulnerable moment, with no chance to dodge!
As the dense, deep gray corrosive aura rushed towards Sigrid's back like a violent storm, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and danger, each strand of the aura carrying a bottomless malice that sought to destroy her to the very bones.
This feeling was like having countless ice picks pierce her heart, reaching the depths of her soul.
Far away, every bead of sweat on Askecsun's body seemed to speak of his determination and madness at this moment.
Beneath his tightly closed eyes, tears mixed with blood, and the harsh price he paid became the catalyst for his vicious spell, awakening some kind of hidden power.
The spell was like a chain forgotten by time, etched with distant eras and cruel fates, piercing through Sigrid's heart. In that instant, she heard the sound of her bones shattering, each cell in her body being destroyed by endless pain, reborn, and then destroyed again, like the endless cycle of waves washing over the shore.
And at the end of the sealing spell, there was a crimson light that, even if it did not kill Sigrid directly, seemed to forever fix her in that moment of pain, becoming a sinister glowing brand.
Amidst Sigrid's piercing scream, the silver light puppet also dissipated.
But Lanchi had already stepped forward.
The next second...
He caught Sigrid, who was falling from mid-air, steady as could be.
"Ha... Ha..."
Askecsun, from a distance, panted, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction as he watched Sigrid, struck and on the brink of death. The only remaining opponent was this equally helpless Holy Son.
This sealing technique had also come at a great cost to Askecsun; if it hadn't been absolutely necessary, he wouldn't have risked his life like this.
Askecsun's appearance at this moment was no longer one of coldness and arrogance; his face was contorted, his body trembling, every muscle screaming out the enormous price he had paid for the sealing spell he had just cast.
Even so, neither he nor the man in black had lost their combat effectiveness.
Between them and this lone insignificant opponent, there was an insurmountable gulf.
But, in the distance...
Lanchi showed no fear of Askecsun or the man in black.
"..."
Lanchi's eyes were as steadfast as rocks, fixed on Askecsun, a profound meaning in their emerald depths that defied description.
Lanchi stood facing Askecsun from afar.
Only the wind picked up, enveloping Lanchi and Sigrid, along with the deafening roar of the Storm Dragon.
Lanchi, holding Sigrid, who was nearly unconscious, turned and walked away.
"Do you think you can escape right under our noses?! Don't be so arrogant!!"
At that moment, the man in black, who was even further away, finally endured the pain of his severe injuries inflicted by Sigrid and surged forward like an abyssal torrent towards Lanchi.
This weakling, who they had once ignored, had somehow managed to seal his Abyssal Black Insects.
This was a disgrace to him!
And that arrogant attitude, whether or not he still had the confidence to back it up, could not be tolerated! How could they let a mere Holy Son so brazenly escape with the Dominant-Teaching Church?! Their pride would not allow it!!
However...
Lanchi paid no heed to the approaching man in black.
"Askecsun, the next time we meet will be when I reclaim your Original Tablet."
The howling wind gradually obscured his figure.
At the same time, the eyes of the Nuclear Fusion Wolf turned completely red, its body cracking and emitting a terrifying light.
Those eyes, like blood-red gems, radiated a startling light, and every crack seemed to speak of a power hotter than destruction and deeper than oblivion, and the light that surged from within was like a scorching sun piercing through the clouds!
In the dazzling white light, a profound silence, rather than the expected deafening roar, filled the air, and the only sound was the rough breathing of Askecsun and the man in black.
This decisive moment became a huge blank in time.
Just as the speed of sound is much slower than that of light, neither Lanchi, shrouded in the storm, nor Askecsun was aware of the earth-shattering roar at that moment.
When the explosion finally occurred, reverberating throughout Bandra City, the situation in the Protoss Empire, along with the world itself, had been irrevocably changed.
In the northern snowfields of the Protoss Empire...
On the distant horizon, a tiny speck of light appeared, quickly expanding and accompanied by a brilliant white light.
Then, a deafening roar erupted, like the howl of the earth itself.
The city walls and mountains began to distort and shatter under the onslaught of the rampant shockwaves, the enormous energy causing the ground to heave, buildings to be scattered like scraps of paper, and trees and vegetation to be swallowed by the white light.
As time seemed to stretch, the white light continued to swell and rise, until it obscured everything in the sky!
A myriad of brilliant lights filled the sky, as if the saints were displaying their might, and only a thousand suns could rival their radiance.
