Chapter 420: Multi-armed
Chapter 420: Multi-armed
"Goddess of the Abyssal Sea, you have overstepped your bounds!" Menia, the Red Queen, declared solemnly.
"The offspring of the Dragonborn have become increasingly impolite." The black-robed girl, the incarnation of the Goddess of the Abyssal Sea, Hela, glanced at Menia and said.
As she raised her hand, dozens of water spouts over a hundred meters high suddenly rose from the lake, sweeping toward Menia's position.
Seeing this, Menia's expression turned serious. She immediately waved her right hand, and the bronze cannons on the dozens of airships around her roared to life!
"Fire!" The gunnery commander ordered.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From the side of each airship, there were at least one and at most three rows of cannon arrays. For a moment, a barrage of blazing iron balls, as dense as hail, rained down on the location of the Goddess of the Abyssal Sea, Hela.
Although only a small portion of the cannonballs could accurately hit the black-robed girl who was Hela's incarnation, the sheer number was substantial.
However, in the next second, most people's perception of the power of a divine avatar was refreshed.
Dozens of high-speed, scorching iron balls encountered some invisible obstacle several meters in front of Hela, suddenly stopping dead in their tracks.
Even though the red-hot iron balls continued to spin at high speed, they could not advance an inch! It was as if there was an invisible wall of air in front of them.
At this moment, Menia took action.
The cannon barrage was just an appetizer; the main course was up to her.
She patted the red dragon and quickly began chanting a spell.
"Roar!"
The red dragon Tessa, upon receiving Menia's command, let out a high-pitched roar and then dived toward the lake where the Goddess of the Abyssal
At the same time, a torrent of scorching flames, as if from dozens of flamethrowers combined, spewed out of Tessa's open mouth!
"Boom!!"
In an instant, it seemed that half of Falling Star Lake was set ablaze by Tessa's red dragon breath! The lake surface was bathed in a fiery red glow!
Facing the attack of an adult red dragon, the black-robed girl incarnation of Hela had a slightly more serious expression.
Although, compared to a deity, this epic-level dragon was still nothing much.
However, the strength limit of her current incarnation was restricted. At this moment, her power was on the same level as the dragon before her, and she could not overwhelm it.
Therefore, she had to take it seriously.
As Hela raised her hand, a water wall over a hundred meters high and several meters thick suddenly rose a dozen meters in front of her, blocking the red dragon's breath.
For a moment, the scorching dragon breath and the massive water wall collided, and the intense heat instantly boiled the lake water, with large patches of steam rising.
Swiftly and suddenly!
A black shadow suddenly appeared behind the black-robed girl incarnation of Hela. The figure flickered, creating dozens of afterimages.
Each afterimage was identical, all holding a curved blade, and all lunged forcefully at Hela's back.
"Interesting! Demon Blade!" The black-robed girl incarnation of Hela frowned, clearly surprised by this ambush.
The opponent had remained silent until the last moment, only revealing their presence at the moment of the attack.
Being able to do this naturally required an epic-level combatant.
Especially, the Demon Blade the attacker wielded. Hela could smell the with a unique demon's blood, which imbued the blade with a special effect of harming the soul.
.
7
.
In other words, if she was hit, her incarnation would suffer severe injuries.
.
Instantly, several water shields rose around her, but they Demon Blade shattered them.
7.
But using the shields' interference, Hela immediately identified the real figure among the dozens of afterimages. She then flicked her slender finger and snapped the Demon Blade forcefully!
577!
"Clank!!"
The masked man in black was a brief, clearly not expecting Hela to have so easily countered her near-death attack.
However, disappointed, he, did not choose to flee.
Adher the creed of the assassin's creed of " one-shot, no kill, and immediately chose to retreat at high speed.
Deep the creed of ' assassin: 'Strike and run if you does not hit,.'
But the act of assassination behavior clearly annoyed the Goddess of the Abyssal Sea,
"Want to run!"
Just as Hela was to to cast a spell to pursue, a scorching spiral light suddenly hit her lake and a water shield, but the spiral beam's piercing power was much greater than Hela had anticipated, although the energy surge seemed mild, the penetration was extremely strong, piercing through the cylindrical water and hitting the white part of of Hela's incarnation.
"Pch!"
In the center of the white palm, there was a walnut-sized hole the size of a walnut.
(End of Chapter,
The flesh around the crater was scorched black by the abnormally scorching flames, leaving Hela seething with anger as she looked up at Menia on the Red Dragon.
Menia, with the title 'Red Queen', had experienced the Imperial Capital War and knew that ordinary attacks were ineffective against the embodiment of a true god.
She had just unleashed the 'Radiant Pulse Cone', a secret and highly penetrating morning kill move known for its stealth and penetration.
As she had anticipated, the attack achieved excellent results.
"Damn!"
"Dragonborn, you have offended the might of a true god!"
"Dark Erosion Orb!"
Hela pointed at the sky, and a water ball the size of a water barrel suddenly appeared, emitting powerful energy ripples towards the Red Dragon Tasa and Menia.
The attack was so fast that even the Red Dragon couldn't dodge it with its speed.
Menia, knowing that Hela's angry strike would be extremely powerful, immediately joined forces with the Red Dragon Tasa to defend themselves with a giant flame shield and a flame shockwave.
"Boom!"
The energy shield and shockwave collided with the Dark Erosion Orb, causing a powerful explosion.
After the explosion, the black liquid inside the water ball splattered in all directions.
The Red Dragon Tasa let out a mournful cry as its massive body, much larger than Menia's, was drenched in the majority of the splattered black liquid.
Its right claw and a large area of its dragon scales were corroded, and its muscles quickly turned black and rotten.
The power of the 'Dark Erosion Orb' was evident.
Even a fully grown Red Dragon would be severely wounded by such an attack, and at that moment, the Red Dragon Tasa wobbled in mid-air.
Hela's eyebrows furrowed, but her mood improved as she witnessed this scene.
However, before Hela could even smile, a black curved dagger, like a silent venomous snake, suddenly stabbed towards her back.
As the dagger sliced through her robe, Hela's heart raced with alarm, but it was already too late.
"Shh!"
Hela tried to dodge, but her back was still pierced by the dagger.
Instantly, a transparent wave of pain radiated from her, causing Hela immense suffering.
"Ahhhh!"
With a piercing scream, a visible wave of energy blasted outwards, causing the black-clad assassin to grunt and quickly retreat.
Hela, affected by the special effect of the 'Demon Blade', was heavily injured and unable to pursue.
"Demon Blade!" Hela cursed through gritted teeth.
At that moment, the black-robed girl she had transformed into began to weaken, her power dropping from Epic to the brink of Epic and Legendary.
Hela knew she couldn't continue fighting.
However, her primary goal was to connect to the Dragon Valley Sanctuary's teleportation channel, allowing members of various cults to enter the sanctuary.
This goal had already been achieved, and she could retreat at any time.
Just then, the water beneath the lake projected a familiar figure—Lord Rayen, swiftly running towards the Dragon Valley Sanctuary.
Hela's eyes lit up. She immediately abandoned the idea of self-destructing this body and instead flashed towards the water projection, squeezing herself through the water gate with some difficulty.
The next moment, the water gate beneath the lake vanished, presumably due to the absence of the caster.
The lake's surface once again reflected the aftermath of the battle, with floating corpses and debris from the airship.
Meanwhile, in the Dragon Valley Sanctuary.
Lord Rayen hurried towards his destination while casually reviewing the previous battle:
[Congratulations! You have defeated a powerful enemy and obtained 34 Golden Skill Points.]
[Congratulations! Your willpower has increased.]
[Congratulations! Your Thousand Blades King (Epic) profession level has risen.]
In this battle, Lord Rayen had defeated Barnes, Reagan, and Bronson, the Red Dragon brothers, elevating his Thousand Blades King profession to level 14.
He gained one attribute point and one skill point.
Having gained two attribute points during the fight and one more in mental attributes, he currently had 12 remaining attribute points, one skill point, and 90 golden skill points.
At that moment, he noticed a small rift opening in the sky, and a tiny black dot appeared within it.
"Huh? Is there still someone coming in at this hour?"
"Could it be that the passage hasn't closed yet?" Rayen couldn't help but wonder.
However, the location of the other party was too far away from him.
Rayen glanced over briefly and immediately focused his attention on the forest ahead.
Because he had already heard the sound of trees cracking and witchcraft explosions coming from the front!
At this moment, Captain Baldwin, carrying the 'Rift Closure Device', was clutching his crimson abdomen with one hand while staggering forward at high speed.
Baldwin, as the top legendary powerhouse of the military's special department, was selected as the captain, and his strength was naturally exceptional. But the opponent he faced this time was even more impressive.
Pierce, the legendary powerhouse of the Limb Cult, was their only choice to enter the Dragon Valley Sanctuary.
It's not that the Limb Cult couldn't select more legendary powerhouses, but they believed that if Pierce couldn't complete the mission, then sending more people wouldn't make much difference.
In fact, if Baldwin hadn't carried the 'Rift Closure Device', he wouldn't have been injured so quickly.
A while ago, Pierce and Baldwin had just engaged in combat when Pierce noticed that Baldwin seemed particularly concerned about the box in his hands.
Pierce immediately understood the situation and seized the opportunity. Using blood witchcraft and the secrecy of his third arm, he severely injured Baldwin in a short time.
Suddenly, the vines under Baldwin's feet rose, causing him to stagger violently. At that moment, a blood snake attacked from behind, sending the box in Baldwin's hand flying into the air.
"Oh no!"
Baldwin's face changed! He naturally understood the importance of the 'Rift Closure Device' for this mission.
Once it fell into the hands of the enemy, then...
Meanwhile, Pierce's face lit up with joy, and he quickened his pace. He was also curious about what was inside the box because it must be valuable if it could injure a legendary peak powerhouse.
Just as Pierce was about to reach the box, only a few meters away, suddenly, a shadow accompanied by a sharp tearing sound rushed towards him like lightning, forcing him to dodge its edge!
"Boom!"
As Pierce sidestepped, the shadow whistled past his ear and struck the ground next to him, immediately creating a crater with smoke and dust!
Pierce looked closely and saw a spear still vibrating in the center of the crater!
"Looks like I came just in time."
As the words echoed, a tall young man walked out of the forest nearby with a smile.
A few minutes ago.
Imperial City of Tamriel.
Astral Mage Platform, Command Hall on the second floor, was bustling.
In these twenty-four hours since the sanctuary opened, everyone in the hall couldn't relax, not even daring to blink.
"Currently, at the first point, the Rift Closure Device has arrived and is being activated."
"At the second point, the Rift Closure Device is eighteen kilometers away and has not yet arrived."
"At the third point, the Rift Closure Device is thirty-seven kilometers away, and Captain Baldwin is currently engaging in combat with Pierce, the legendary powerhouse of the Limb Cult. Rayen has been contacted to provide support."
One after another, battlefield reports were issued from Tatiya's mouth.
At this moment, an attendant rushed in from the adjacent room and whispered something to Tatiya, causing her face to change.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we've just received the latest news from the Royal Family. The incarnation of the Sea Goddess Hela has appeared at Falling Star Lake. After a fierce battle, the Red Queen Menia's red dragon, Tessa, was severely injured, and the leader of the Shadow Guards, Lord Mathias, suffered minor injury."
"And the Sea Goddess Hela..."
"Has entered the Dragon Valley Sanctuary!"
Upon hearing Tatiya's words, including General Augustus and Marshal Alfred, were all shocked!
"What? The injured Sea Goddess Hela has entered the sanctuary?" General Augustus exclaimed.
After all, entering the sanctuary at the risk of depleting a strand of true spirit was no small matter.
What was the purpose of the Sea Goddess Hela? Marshal Alfred thought for a moment and turned to ask the Grand Astral Wizard, Lord Dalian: "Lord Dalian, can we track the movements of the Sea Goddess Hela in the sanctuary?"
"No, one of the divine powers is that they cannot be tracked." Lord Dalian shook his head.
Marshal Alfred nodded in understanding.
This was going to be difficult.
They didn't know where the opponent had gone or what they intended to do. It seemed they could only defend passively.
"Tatiya, pass the message. The incarnation of the Sea Goddess Hela has entered the sanctuary, please be cautious, all task force members." Marshal Alfred spoke in a low voice.
"Yes, Marshal."
