Chapter 1229: Power Recoil
Chapter 1229: Power Recoil
“Peng!”
A giant head landed on the ground and it caused snow to scatter. Sett’s fresh blood also splattered around and formed a gory blood rain. As he had already died, his blood turned into ice and formed stones that smashed onto the players’ shields.
“Frost be careful!”
Lanais pulled her bow and shouted as the arrow left the string. It turned into a streak of light that hit Frost’s back. There was someone getting close. It was a handsome young demon god, Azure!
“Frost do you remember me?!”
Azure laughed. His halberd flew out with flames and struck Frost. At the same time, his halberd was surrounded by storm energy that looked like it could rip apart the sky.
Frost turned around and her face had turned ashen white due to her using too much energy to cast Star Chain. She held her sword up and formed a star shield. Azure’s halberd struck the shield and the color of the sky changed. The entire Dragon City shook while Frost’s body shuddered. She was forced ten meters back before she was able to stop herself.
The halberd flew back and Azure caught it. He laughed and held it up, “Turn to dust along with Dragon City, this plane doesn’t need a god anymore!”
Energy surged around the halberd and the entire space started to twist. Azure actually needed to channel energy to cast this so Frost definitely couldn’t tank this attack!
Zhi Shu and Odelia were dealing with Sif, Yin Huo and Qin Ge and Lanais weren’t of much help. The person closest to Frost now was me!
“Peng!”
An energy current circled the area as I left my spot and charged towards Azure. I used Wall fo Douqi and Invincible Body. I didn’t dare to be careless and used my invincibility right away.
Frost’s body shook as she was locked down by Azure’s might. She couldn’t dodge it at all. From her anxious expression, one could tell how strong this attack was. I didn’t hesitate and my body sunk down to smash onto Frost’s shoulder to move her aside. Then I raised my swords to block Azure’s strike!
The moment I turned around, the halberd descended from above. A hot feeling swallowed my body as the halberd sliced through me from my shoulder and out of my left leg. All of a sudden, large damage numbers flew up from my head–
“1422814!”
Insta killed… I was actually insta killed by Azure!
The system asked if I wanted to revive on the spot and I confirmed that.
“Shua!”
The moment I revived, I heard a loud explosion. Azure’s halberd slashed a thousand meter light which sliced through me and landed on the Blade Mountain. All of a sudden, it was sliced into two and sparks flew. Dragon Crystal Cannons and God Dragon Cannons were destroyed along with many Royal Army troops that were turned to dust!
“Ah!?”
I stood there stunned. My heart felt like it was being sliced open. Royal Army… Was it going to get wiped out like that?
“Kid Li what are you doing?”
Behind me, Old K shouted. I saw him, Death’s God Elergy, Tan Heart etc leaving the walls and slicing their blades at Azure. Damn, they would definitely get killed. Azure’s attacks ignored invincibility and even when I used Invincible Body I was insta killed. They definitely wouldn’t be able to tank it.
“Leave!”
Beside me, Lin Wan Er’s body suddenly appeared and she dragged my arm to fly back. In another direction, Frost stood in the wind and she held her sword. Wind blew on her robe and stars rotated around her. She was channeling power, she was probably the only one now that could threaten Azure.
Azure’s face was covered in killing intent and he hollered, “Scram!”
He swept and his blade slashed into the crowd. Old K, Death’s God Elergy and Tang Heart were killed by the flames and turned into a white light which was sent back to the city. My heart felt pain. How strong was Azure? He instantly killed two members of Zhan Long Hall!
“Frost!”
I shouted.
Frost knew that I was worried for her safety so she just smiled, “Go back quick.”
She raised her arm and the stars flew into the sky and circled above her to form a plain. It was like the milky way was hanging above us, it looked majestic and beautiful. Stars were filled with the power of the galaxies. She opened her palm and her eyes were filled with decisiveness, “Heaven Control…”
She was actually going to use Heaven Control to control the stars?
In the next moment, the stars were attracted and they shone brightly. Frost gritted her teeth and stared at Azure, “If you want to taint Dragon City, you have to step over my body!”
She waved her arm and numerous stars fell towards Azure’s direction. Azure knew that they were strong and he waved his halberd to form a shield.
“Peng peng peng…”
Loud explosions as the stars struck his shield and body. Each explosion caused a fist sized space to crack. The two of them were too strong such that they cracked space. Numerous stars struck and the halberd in Azure’s hand started to dissipate. He was unable to form a shield so he could only use his body to tank Star Chain+ Heaven Control
“Wu ah…”
He cried out and his robe turned into ashes that were sucked into the space cracks. Those cracks were even trying to rip his body apart. Unfortunately, this demon god was too strong and such a strong attack was unable to kill him. Even so, Azure was not in a good state. His arm, shoulder and stomach were all covered in wounds from the attack.
“Ah!”
Azure shouted and his eyes were filled with killing intent, “Frost, I am going to kill you!”
He flew over but Frost stood rooted to the spot and didn’t move, she… She had no more energy to move. That attack had used up all her strength.
“Damn!”
Odelia exclaimed.
I turned around and used Heaven Control. The swords and spears from the hands of the Dragon City soldiers broke free from their hands and formed a black patch. I sent them forwards and they flew towards Azure like lightning. Luckily my stats increased by 30% after death. These spears and swords hit his body. Although they didn’t deal much damage but they stopped his sneak attack.
Maybe because of Frost’s Star Chain breaking his shield, a few swords and spears actually stabbed into his body. Although the wound wasn’t too deep.
“Pu!”
He pulled out a spear and looked at me in rage, “There is actually another person that can use Heaven Control!”
Not far away, Sif held her sword as Dragon Crystal Cannons fired around her, “Boss, Sett is killed. We lost our chance, let’s retreat and rest up. Pearl has called for the retreat!”
Azure gritted his teeth, “Retreat, rest up and then we will deal with these ants!”
……
Azure pulled out two more swords and flew into the distance. Sif, Yin Huo etc retreated too, leaving a small group of hybrid demons to attack. But they weren’t able to deal much of a threat to us anymore.
On the walls, the barrier that Fire God Gaia formed started to break down. Her energy was about to be finished and that cold covered Dragon City once more.
Zhi Shu turned into human form. Her shoulder, arm and legs were covered in sword marks. She had fought with Qin Ge, Sif and Yin Huo and was pretty much the strongest tank in Dragon City. She took so many hits and still seemed fine. She headed forwards and held Frost’s arm, “Quickly, order the soldiers to be on alert. Let’s head in to discuss our plan.”
I was shocked, why was she so anxious to discuss?
When we stepped in, Frost’s body shook and she knelt on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Stars shone around her and left cuts on her skin.
“Calm down, maintain consciousness.” Zhi Shu said fiercely.
Frost knelt there but she still raised her head to look at me. She smiled pitifully, “Azure has retreated so we have a chance right?”
She had been forcing herself to hold on. Right, Frost was still a mortal that became a god while Azure wasn’t a human. He was a demon raised in hell, how could Frost fight such a person.
Lanais placed her hand on Frost’s shoulder and sent God power in, “Her star power is started to recoil. Two uses of star chain are more than what she can handle.”
Odelia wiped off the blood on her arm and said, “Rest well, you don’t have to help defend Dragon City next. We will go all out to hold it. Men, go underground and call Ranmin Warsoul. He doesn’t need to craft anymore, it is time for him to help.”
A Dragon City soldier nodded, “En I will go get him.”
……
A short while later, Frost’s star power stopped affecting her but she was in a bad state. Her body was covered in wounds. Her injuries were much worse than Azure but fortunately, Queen Zhi Shu was taking care of her so the others didn’t notice. If not the morale would be affected.
Frost was a symbol for Dragon City and was what everyone was relying on. Once she lost, everyone would lose the courage to fight.
