Chapter 803: Emerging from the Inferno
Chapter 803: Emerging from the Inferno
The earth roared as mountains tore apart.
In the basin among the mountains, or what was now a canyon, the Blood Lake and the gushing underground water mixed together, only to be transformed into raging flames under Nolan's ability!
The fire flickered, and the flames rose.
The mountains and the earth were scorched, and the air within the mountains was distorted beyond recognition.
At the bottom lay the Feathered Serpent, which had been sliced in half by the Righteous One.
Its vitality remained strong, like an ingredient in a fiery cauldron, constantly writhing and struggling in distortion.
"..."
"Is it still not dead?"
Lindsey's eyes narrowed at the mountain peak.
The white light of his Recon Skill pierced through the distorted hot air, revealing the status of the Feathered Serpent.
【Feathered Serpent (Corrupted Evil Spirit) - As a Deity, the Feathered Serpent's Divine Essence is shattered, and after accepting Corrupt Power, it has evolved into a completely new Deviator.】
The facts before him undoubtedly confirmed Lindsey's suspicions.
The Feathered Serpent not only had a connection with the Deviators but also maintained this connection even in the current time anomaly.
"In that case, the difficulty of the battle will be different."
Lindsey frowned.
He quickly reviewed the Deviator's information in his mind.
At the first stage, this creature displayed an extremely powerful life force. What would happen if a Seventh Stage being like the Feathered Serpent were infected?
"Be careful, everyone!"
"The power infecting this guy has an extremely strong life force. I'm afraid it will grant it new powers..."
Lindsey's warning to his companions abruptly stopped.
A hurricane suddenly blew beside him. Standing on the mountain peak, Lindsey looked to his side.
—Ben had also rushed out in an instant.
As a result, only a few Awakened from the Beyond World who had originally set out together remained in place.
"These guys are faster than the others."
There was no hope of outrunning these monsters with speed.
Lindsey opened his bag and replaced his longsword with a bow and arrow, using his FPS ability to lock onto the enemy below.
He then looked at the sea of flames at the mountain's base.
The Righteous One's figure slashed through the flames, carving a path.
His Steelheart Sword was instantly plunged into the Feathered Serpent's head, and his entire body pressed down on the serpent, nailing it like a steel spike.
Ben rode the monster beast, galloping through the sea of flames and suppressing the deity-turned-monster.
Then, Lindsey looked at Nolan.
The Law Manipulator and the Righteous One fought in perfect harmony.
When the latter chose the Feathered Serpent's head as the enemy, Nolan immediately turned and locked his powerful Law Manipulation onto the serpent's lower half.
Even divided in two, the Feathered Serpent's body remained active, struggling in the flames and stirring up waves of fiery heat.
Nolan laughed heartily.
"Great Serpent, you are truly interesting."
"Even split in two, the lower half of your body shows the vitality of an independent living being! Given time, could you regrow your head?"
Nolan raised his longsword.
The law power transformed under his command.
The surrounding raging flames instantly gained life, forming golden-red circular shackles that firmly trapped the Feathered Serpent's lower body in the sea of fire!
Facing the still-struggling Feathered Serpent, Nolan raised his longsword, and without even needing to slash, a white rift descended upon the serpent's body, extending from head to tail.
(End of Chapter)"Law Paladin!" a deep shout suddenly erupted from the Feathered Serpent's body.
Then, a powerful and sinister life force began to emerge.
Hiding within the Feathered Serpent's body, the Deviator who had been shaping this Sea of Flesh and aiding in its recovery, now slowly separated from the latter half of the Serpent's flesh, much like a termite laying eggs.
"Heh—"
"As expected, someone was hiding."
Nolan raised his sword, his cheerful demeanor now tinged with solemnity.
The newly revealed Deviator was also at the Seventh Stage.
However, compared to ordinary Awakened beings, this individual gave off a sense of even greater strength and complete Command Ability.
The sea of flames that had just been shaped.
Beside the Deviator, the powerful life force naturally distorted the surroundings, causing them to wither.
At the very least, in terms of the Law's permissions.
This Deviator's control over the Life Force was even stronger than Nolan's command over the Law!
Nolan himself, without a doubt, was a top-tier existence at the Seventh Stage.
Yet, in terms of law manipulation, this Deviator could suppress him.
—"To be blunt, it's only a matter of time before this enemy advances to the Eighth Stage."
Whoosh—
At this moment, the Deviator raised his right hand and wiped away the decaying flesh from his face.
Amidst the putrid and corrupt flesh, he revealed his appearance—a middle-aged man of unremarkable looks. At this moment, he stared at Ben, who was striking the Feathered Serpent from afar, with eyes filled with anticipation and even joy.
He slowly turned his head towards Nolan.
"So it's you, Nolan."
"If I were to finish you off here, perhaps the future Law Paladin would not exist..."
The Deviator's words were cut short.
An incredibly fast arrow tore through the flames, piercing the air.
The Seventh Stage Deviator naturally noticed the attack from above.
Confidently, he extended his right hand, blocking the arrow, a smile creeping onto his lips.
Boom—
The pitch-black arrow instantly exploded.
The Hurricane Force and Solar Flame Power erupted simultaneously.
Then, the flames rode the wind, even drawing in the raging flames from the sea of fire, forming a swift Flame Hurricane around the Deviator!
"Ah—"
"What the hell was that?!"
A roar, accompanied by a surge of life force, erupted from within the flames.
The arrow-induced flame storm was instantly shredded, and the Feathered Serpent's lower half, which had been struggling in the sea of fire, now twisted and deformed under the influence of the powerful life force, ultimately transforming into a set of Flesh Armor surrounding the Deviator.
"Hiss—"
The Deviator inhaled the scorching air.
Even his breath carried flames.
His skin and muscles, nearly charred moments ago, now rapidly healed under the support of the life force.
The Deviator looked up.
The distorted hot air made it difficult to see into the distance, but through his Life Sense, he still managed to lock onto Lindsey, standing atop the mountain peak.
The arrow from before had indeed come from this young man's hand.
"Him again?"
"The kid with the odd Technique?"
Bang! Before the Deviator could make a move, the Law's power struck again.
Nolan showed no mercy in battle and, and as he approached, he aimed to strike down the Deviator.
The armor formed from the Feathered Serpent's flesh and the Deviator's unique abilities in the ongoing conflict? What unexpected twists and turns will this encounter bring to the story?
End of Chapter.
