Chapter 485: The Three-Headed
Chapter 485: The Three-Headed
In the heart of the rain, Ren was engaged in a second battle with the Dark-Robed Maiden, the embodiment of the Umbra Sea Goddess Hela.
Intense energy fluctuations made the Mortuary Sea Domain increasingly unstable.
The rain grew lighter, and the thin, dark clouds above caused the Dark-Robed Maiden's brows to furrow slightly.
Ren's peripheral vision, however, kept glancing at Gazrian beside him.
Although Gazrian did not take the opportunity to attack him or attempt to break through the Mortuary Sea Domain, the other party was recovering on the spot, and the three dragon heads kept spraying ice crystal mist onto themselves.
Even without relying on his naked eye, Ren could feel the other party's aura gradually strengthening.
Apparently, the ice crystal mist sprayed by the three dragon heads should have some special effect to restore their soul injuries.
"No, I can't be entangled by the Umbra Sea Goddess Hela."
"Although I don't know what the situation is between the Umbra Sea Goddess and Gazrian, it's evident that Hela doesn't seem to want me to kill the Great Sea Demon."
Ren's eyes narrowed, and his brain started to work rapidly.
"If I continue to drag this out, the injuries I inflicted on the Great Sea Demon earlier will soon recover."
"At that time, the Great Sea Demon might join forces with the Umbra Sea Goddess Hela to surround and attack me, and then the situation will be completely passive."
Although Ren couldn't be sure that the other party would definitely do this, the problem was that he couldn't take this risk.
"But it's difficult to escape Hela."
"Now, being in the Mortuary Sea Domain, Hela can almost teleport to any location, easily catching up to me or effortlessly evading my Dawn Strike attacks."
"It's probably difficult to inflict effective damage on them."
At this moment, Ren's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something.
He looked up and glanced at Gazrian's side.
'The Great Sea Demon' Gazrian's surroundings were devoid of rain, instead permeated with a chilling cold air.
"That's right! Although I'm in the Mortuary Sea Domain, this small area around Gazrian seems unaffected by the Mortuary Sea Domain."
"It seems that the ice seal Gazrian just cast and my repeated use of Dawn Strike have turned this area into a near-vacuum state."
"In that case, I can fully utilize my speed to move quickly in this area, thereby evading Hela's entanglement with me, and even seize the opportunity to attack Gazrian again!"
Having figured this out, Ren's figure flashed, and he instantly pulled out several afterimages, turning to rush towards Gazrian beside him.
"Giving up resistance, planning to escape?"
The Dark-Robed Maiden's face showed a trace of color and mockery.
In Hela's view, this was very much in line with the behavior of ordinary people.
Although the young man named Ren in front of her was an elite among ordinary people, a genius, the repeated use of Dawn Strike just now had undoubtedly consumed a significant amount of his spiritual power.
So, choosing to escape now was also the most normal choice.
"It's just, can he escape?"
A faint smile appeared on Hela's exquisite face.
The next moment, in the rain around Ren, there appeared even more Dark-Robed Maidens than Ren's afterimages.
The Dark-Robed Maiden appeared one after another behind Ren, like a cat toying with a mouse, seemingly trying to impose psychological pressure on Ren.
However, when Ren stepped into the dozens of meters beside Gazrian, Hela's expression changed.
Because Hela discovered that she couldn't get any closer.
Just now, a body formed from rainwater took a step into that area and immediately froze into ice.
At this moment, a lifelike Dark-Robed Maiden ice sculpture appeared in that area.
Her other figures in the rain also stopped in their tracks.
"Steel Forest!"
Ren, on the other hand, seized the opportunity and arrived at Gazrian's side in an instant, immediately unleashing the ninth Dawn Strike!
Dark silver metallic ripples instantly covered and interrupted Gazrian, who was in the process of recovery, and once again inflicted soul injuries on him.
"Roar!"
Gazrian roared in pain, his white scales shattered, and pale blue blood flowed out from countless tiny holes. The three dragon heads frantically attacked in all directions.
The intense pain caused him to almost lose his sanity!
Instantly, his movements stirred up the rain, thin mist, and dark clouds around him!
"Not good, I can't let this guy attack Gazrian anymore."
Hela saw this and frowned deeply!
She naturally could see that Gazrian's current condition was not good.
Although the attacks seemed as fierce as ever, his aura had weakened to an extreme.
Hela, separated by dozens of meters, surrounded Gazrian's massive body, forming eight incarnations of rainwater in the rain.
As Rayne was about to deliver the final blow to Gazrian, a sharp cone formed by black water suddenly rushed towards him.
Faced with unknown magic, Rayne had no choice but to abandon the Dawn Technique and dodge once again.
"Pfft!"
The black water cone, with its incredible piercing power, pierced the ground, creating a deep, bowl-sized crater!
This made Rayne's heart tremble.
Such powerful penetration, he feared, would be difficult to withstand even with his third-level composite magic, 'Steel Armor'.
Just as he was moving swiftly, multiple black water cones rushed towards him from various directions.
It was then that Rayne realized that all around him, in a circle, were black-robed maidens, the incarnations of the Umbra Sea Goddess, Hela.
"She's a tough one."
This made Rayne's original plan of circling Gazrian at high speed, thereby evading the Umbra Sea Goddess Hela, already be broken by the opponent.
In other words, he wouldn't have the chance to stop and use the Dawn Technique on Gazrian.
As for other magics, although Rayne could cast them instantly, their power was too weak to deliver a finishing blow to Gazrian.
"Seems like I'll have to use that move."
Rayne, while casting his ultimate art, Shadow Step, moved at high speed, saying, "Umbra Sea Goddess Hela, it seems your divine power isn't that impressive!"
"The last two times, your projections and clones were all defeated by me."
"This time, you..."
Rayne's intention was naturally to make the Umbra Sea Goddess Hela in front of him lose control.
Once she was enraged or lost her sanity, he would have his opportunity.
"Shut up, you insect!" The black-robed maiden trembled with rage.
Clearly, Rayne's words had reminded Hela of the previous two times' embarrassing memories.
"How come you mentioned that?"
Rayne's slightly mocking tone made Hela's emotions waver, like a volcano about to erupt!
"Go to hell!"
Just then, Hela, to increase her accuracy, channeled all the energy within the Umbra Sea Domain, causing the rain-formed human shadows to suddenly double in number. For a time, even denser black water cones shot towards Rayne.
At the edge of the Umbra Sea Domain.
Two Ajax automatons stood motionless in the rain, but all around, more and more white wraiths swirled.
However, suddenly, numerous wraiths actively left, drifting towards the deeper rain.
"Huh? Benito, the number of wraiths on my side suddenly decreased! What about yours?"
Just then, in the control room, Rebecca was besieged by over ten wraiths, surprised to find that the number of wraiths besieging her had significantly reduced.
"My side, too!"
"Rebecca, look outside, the rain has lessened, and even the mist has thinned."
"What's going on?" Benito wondered in delight.
"I'm not sure, but this must be a good thing!" Rebecca, with a pair of beautiful eyes, looked outside through the control room's glass, also quite perplexed.
The sky outside the rain curtain.
"Your Highness Menya, just now, it seemed like Gazrian's roar." Reginald, with an inquiring tone, asked the 'Red Queen' Menya beside him.
Logically, the Umbra Sea Domain should block sound waves and energy fluctuations; they shouldn't be able to hear the internal commotion.
"I heard it too." Menya nodded affirmatively.
"I didn't guess wrong; it must be that the energy within the Umbra Sea Domain is being massively consumed, so it can no longer seal the disturbances inside."
"Absolutely a masterpiece of a book, a stroke, and a container, and looking at it, I can't help but feel a sense of deja vu!
"Is the Umbra Sea Goddess casting some kind of secret art on Gazrian?"
"No, just now, I also sensed a metallic energy particle fluctuation; it should be that Rayne is in trouble. Rayne is likely fighting both Gazrian and the Umbra Sea Goddess's incarnation simultaneously.
As Menya's expression changed, Reginald's brows furrowed, and he closely followed Menya.
In their eyes, Rayne alone against the Ice Sea Giant, even if he displayed the killer move of transforming into a giant dragon during the Ferdinand Forest Battle, was unlikely to be Gazrian and the Umbra Sea Goddess's match.
They must immediately break through the Umbra Sea Domain to provide support.
Otherwise, Rayne, this Imperial genius, might fall in a foreign land.
Just then, two Dragon Knights descended in a very short time, arriving beside Federal Sword Saint Tyrion.
"Your Highness Menya, Your Majesty Reginald, the two of you have also successfully escaped. As for Rayne, His Excellency, Sword Saint Tyrion looked around but didn't see Rayne's figure. He couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty Tyrion, His Excellency Rayne should still be trapped within the Umbra Sea Domain and under attack. I hope we three can immediately join forces to shatter the Umbra Sea Domain.
"This is the Mortuary Sea Domain?" Terion's eyes widened, instantly comprehending the situation.
"Yes, it seems like a projection of the Umbra Sea Goddess is controlling it."
"Can the three of us handle it?"
"We'll find out. The chances are good. The battle inside seems intense, and the energy distribution within the domain is already unstable. We just need to locate the weak point of the Mortuary Sea Domain and we might be able to completely crush it."
"Alright! I'll follow your lead."
"Thank you, Your Highness Terion."
"Lady Maynia, when I broke free just now, I noticed a distinct weak point in the center of the cloud layer. Perhaps we can launch our attack from there," Reginald suggested.
"Let's not waste any time, let's go!"
Reginald commanded the giant dragon Ted, instantly carrying Federal Sword Saint Terion, and they soared into the sky.
Soon, the three of them, along with the two dragons, reached the central area of the gloomy cloud, where they spotted a nearly translucent, semi-opaque region.
"Indeed, it's a weak point!" The perceptive Saint-Tirion immediately sensed that the Mortuary Sea Domain was particularly weak at this spot.
"Then, let's begin!"
"Yes!"
"Of course!"
The three Epic-level Strongmen each unleashed their ultimate moves, combining their powers and launching a joint attack towards the center of the Mortuary Sea Domain!
"Giant Boulder Toss!"
"Transcendent Cross Strike!"
"Blazing Wave Cone!"
Instantly, a red and a yellow attack, accompanied by two massive sword beams, struck the thinnest part of the gloomy cloud.
"Boom!!!"
Below, as the Ice Sea Demon Gazrian was attempting to recover, it suddenly felt a powerful surge of energy from above. Its internal alarm bells began to ring.
The fastest of the attacks, a red flash, didn't hit any of its three heads but instead pierced through its massive body.
However, the remaining giant rock and the silver cross-shaped sword beam accurately struck one of its heads.
This sudden attack and turn of events startled both the Dark Robed Maiden and Ren, who were engaged in combat.
"A perfect opportunity!"
Ren's eyes lit up, and he immediately transformed the hardened fine gold in his hand into a sharp javelin, hurling it towards the last dragon head.
"Pfft!"
In an instant, all three of Gazrian's dragon heads perished. Its massive body began to wobble, teetering on the brink of collapse, and the surrounding self-generated icy domain, which had been instinctively protecting it, could no longer be maintained, causing the cold energy to rapidly disperse!
"No!!!" Umbra Sea Goddess Hela couldn't help but feel enraged. She looked up at the sky.
Through the massive hole in the gloomy cloud, she spotted the three figures and two dragons outside.
Hela's gaze lingered for a moment on the Red Queen Maynia, who was clad in a red wizard's robe.
"Damnable vermin."
"Offspring of the Dragon."
But Hela was well aware that her plan had failed this time.
If she stayed any longer, the hastily formed projection might also fall to these vermin before her eyes.
"I'll be back!"
The Dark Robed Maiden took a deep look at Ren, and soon, nearly a dozen figures in the field began to dissipate.
"Huh? They're leaving?" Ren was momentarily taken aback.
He had assumed that the enraged Umbra Sea Goddess Hela would stay and engage in an all-out battle with them.
But he never expected her to leave so decisively this time.
"It seems her emotional control abilities have improved."
"She's becoming more and more formidable."
As the Mortuary Sea Domain gradually faded, the sky reverberated with the roar of a giant dragon.
"It's Lady Maynia and the others. I need to hurry."
Ren's figure flashed, and he appeared beside the Ice Sea Demon Gazrian, who was lying in a pool of blood. He reached out and placed his palm into one of Gazrian's wounds.
As Ren's hand entered the wound,
a surge of scorching heat, accompanied by a slight stinging sensation, flowed through his palm, which had touched the pale blue blood, and quickly spread throughout his arm and body.
Soon, as the heat was absorbed, a system prompt appeared:
[Host's bloodline mutated, unique ability 'Dual Heads' upgraded to 'Three Heads']
[.In the fifth form, the host will possess the unique ability 'Three Heads'.]
[Three Heads Effect: In addition to the main head, the host can choose and grow two additional dragon heads with different attributes, thereby gaining the corresponding dragon abilities, including but not limited to dragon breath, innate abilities, and melee combat capabilities.]
[Note: The host currently possesses the heads of the Void Dragon, Corrupt Dragon, Primordial Dragon, and Red Dragon.]
