Chapter 962: The Saintly Female Pope, Crushed!
Chapter 962: The Saintly Female Pope, Crushed!
Controlling the seven wires of "Seven Flashes" simultaneously is incredibly mentally taxing and requires precise calculations. As such, when Shinra Kyoko unleashes the full power of "Seven Flashes," it's challenging for her to hold back or show mercy.
There are only twenty Saints in the world, and if possible, Shinra would rather not kill Ye Cheng here.
"It seems I've been underestimated. Go ahead and unleash your so-called 'Seven Flashes' without restraint."
As Ye Cheng finished speaking, his voice still lingered in the air, but his figure had already flashed before Shinra in an instant.
This astonishing speed caught Shinra off guard, who had been calm until now, and her face showed a look of surprise.
"Ding!"
Just as Ye Cheng's long sword was about to strike Shinra again, she finally reacted. One of the wires was bent into a deep 'V' shape by Ye Cheng's sword, and at that moment, Shinra simultaneously drew out all seven of the Seven Heavens Seven Swords.
As four wires shot out from different directions, Ye Cheng's body was cut into several pieces. But Shinra quickly realized that the severed parts of Ye Cheng's body left no trace of blood. The "Seven Flashes," capable of slicing through the ground like tofu, had passed right through Ye Cheng's body.
"It's just an afterimage left by extreme speed!"
When Shinra saw that the "Seven Flashes" had only cut through Ye Cheng's afterimage, she prepared to react, but the white-haired man had already bypassed her wire defenses and appeared right in front of her.
"Instant Blast!"
As Shinra held her long sword horizontally, Ye Cheng didn't choose to attack with his sword this time. Instead, he gripped the sword with one hand and clenched his other fist, punching towards the slender blade of the Seven Heavens Seven Swords.
Although the Seven Heavens Seven Swords have exceptionally long blades, as a sacred treasure of the Amakusa-style Cross Church, they are not ordinary swords.
A massive sonic boom erupted in the air as Shinra blocked Ye Cheng's punch with the blade of the Seven Heavens Seven Swords. She felt as if a train had slammed into her, and as her body retreated, her long legs plowed two trenches over ten meters long into the ground.
After knocking Shinra back with a single punch, Ye Cheng didn't stop there. He stomped the ground, and a shockwave erupted beneath his feet and behind him, propelling his body to instantly catch up with Shinra at supersonic speed.
"Seven Flashes!"
Facing Ye Cheng's incredible speed, Shinra finally put aside her previous disdain and used "Seven Flashes" with all her might.
Seven nearly invisible wires shot out from different directions and angles, directly sealing Ye Cheng's charge. In an instant, the once relatively smooth ground became a wasteland under the slashes of the "Seven Flashes" wires.
The area was covered in crisscrossing slash marks. Before the incredibly sharp wires of the "Seven Flashes," the ground, surrounding plants, and road signs were all effortlessly sliced like tofu.
However, Ye Cheng, enveloped by the "Seven Flashes" blockade, remained calm. A blue magic array lit up beneath his feet, and the next second, his figure disappeared into thin air.
When he reappeared, he was already floating over ten meters above the ground.
"Seventh Rank Magic - Dimensional Transfer!"
As Nightfall City utilized instant teleportation magic to evade the blockade of Seven Flashes, his figure appeared in mid-air, and he swiftly began chanting a Ghost Dao Incantation with one hand extended forward.
"Oh, Sovereign of the Night! Masked in Flesh and Blood, the Omnipresent, Winged Beater, Bearing the Name of Man! Engrave the Blue Flame Barrier with Twin Lotuses, and in the Distant Sky, Await the Abyss of Great Fire.
Path Breaker Seventy-Three - Dual Lotus Azure Firefall!"
Up until now, Nightfall City had been engaging in swordplay, causing Stil Inverse to overlook one crucial detail.
That is, how could Nightfall City, with his "Saintly Physique," possibly be an ordinary person without magic, like those in Academy City?
Even if we disregard the instant teleportation magic he just used, when Nightfall City chanted the seventy-third Path Breaker, the magic power he had concealed up until now suddenly overflowed. Stil and Shinra Kyoko were astonished to discover that their opponent was not only proficient in swordsmanship and martial arts but also possessed an awe-inspiring and formidable magic power!
Azure flames gathered in Nightfall City's palm, and as he threw the flame, which resembled a miniature sun, the terrifying momentum it created was akin to the sun falling from the sky!
Seeing the plants and wooden structures around them suddenly catching fire due to the intense heat, Stil finally understood why Nightfall City had previously criticized his magic's lack of power.
The moment the azure flames descended from the sky, not only did the ground instantly turn into scorched earth, but the heat wave generated by the blue flames alone melted all nearby iron objects into molten iron.
Witnessing the astonishing power of this magic, Stil, who had exhausted his magic power, could only watch as Shinra was enveloped by the blue flames. Concern filled his voice as he called out, "Kyoko—!"
To be honest, before Nightfall City and Shinra engaged in combat, Stil had never imagined that Shinra would struggle.
It is undeniable that Nightfall City demonstrated formidable strength, but Shinra Kyoko is the "Female Pope" of the "Amakusa-Style Cross Church," one of the fewer than twenty "Saints" in the world, and a top-ten magician in London!
There are already fewer than twenty Saints in the world, and Shinra is ranked ninth among them.
To put it bluntly, Shinra's strength has reached a level where it would not be an exaggeration to say that she could hold her own against ten thousand opponents. Rumors suggest that only true gods and angels might have a chance at defeating her.
And now, they had merely accepted a mission from the Church to retrieve Index, yet a random passerby in Academy City possessed the strength to effortlessly defeat Stil and even push Shinra into a difficult battle. This was utterly absurd!
A flash of sword light pierced through the azure flames, and the intensely burning Dual Lotus Azure Firefall was instantly cleaved in two by Seven Heavens Seven Swords.
Emerging from the parted flames, Shinra's expression turned grave as she gazed at Nightfall City descending from the sky.
"Just like that red-haired priest over there, as a magician, you should also have a magical name, right?
You didn't introduce yourself with your magical name, which means you haven't fully unleashed your power yet. So, please, introduce yourself with your magical name.
Don't worry about using your full strength against me; even the power I just displayed is merely a warm-up for me.
Since you are called a 'Saint,' there must be a power unique to Saints that you haven't used yet, right?"
