However, in the face of Atoris's provocation, the sage was not moved. Instead, he turned his head and spoke dragon language with unknown meaning to the giant creature in the distance.
Although Artoris and others did not understand the reason, Barong's expression became serious when he saw Sky Dragon nodding: "As expected, we still have to face the worst situation. In exchange for seven days of freedom, the sage will fight Sky Dragon." The dragons join hands to kill us.”
"What a stupid guy. As long as we join forces to defeat the Sage, we can gain true freedom!"
Even though he said that, everyone was well aware of the sage's strength. He was the New God after all. Even if Sky Dragon and his gang teamed up to face this guy, their chances of winning would be slim, not to mention that they had only been betrayed before. If you think about it from his perspective, it's not that you can't understand Sky Dragon's choice.
But in this way, now that the Dragon Locking Formation of the Twelve Heavenly Capital Banners has been lost, I am afraid that I will become enemies with the two of you now...
"The sage will be restrained by Artoris and I, while the others will follow Elena to fight against the Sky Dragon. Before that, Chiarud——deploys the Moon Barrier!" This is already the worst development. There must be no more hesitation above this.
Just the moment the instruction was given, Barong had already taken action. The snow-marked invitation he had recovered turned into a cold spear in his hands. The tip of the spear dragged the ground and pursued the sage with lightning speed. Seeing this, Artoris did not dare to neglect, picked up the spirit sword and followed closely.
——Boundary of the Moon
In the magic world, it is a technique that gathers the spiritual power of heaven and earth to reproduce the moonlight. Its ease of implementation and low effectiveness make it an exaggeration to call it an intermediate magic. However, such a general technique can be regarded as a trump card at this moment. one. The reason is that Artoris carries the [Musuki's Protection]. Even if her level is limited here, the 200% increase in all attributes under this protection can still increase her combat power to the king. A level that no one dares to underestimate.
But even so, there is still an unbridgeable gap between them and the gods. For the sage, it was an understatement, but Artolis had to use her whole body and soul to barely deal with it.
"A god and a sky dragon join forces to eradicate mediocre people like me. Isn't it a waste of time?"
"If you can remove the dirt from your eyes in the simplest and most direct way, there is no need to abandon the near and seek the far." He retreated like an afterimage and easily avoided Barong's gunfire. The sage just said that and the person appeared in front of him. behind.
What followed was a knee strike that was invisible to the naked eye. Although Barong had reacted before and used his arms to block it, he was still pushed high into the air by its powerful force.
However, before he could launch a pursuit, Atoris's sword was approaching again. The jet-black sword body was surrounded by green-gold light, and it slashed at him in a thousandth of a second.
But even though even the Demon King's executive had to be in awe of Thunder, the Sage still didn't take it seriously. The light barrier protecting the outer edge easily diluted the sword strike that penetrated the thunder, and the sword blade that continued to approach was unable to hurt the sage even a little bit, and was finally resisted by his two clamped fingers.
"In the final analysis, it's just a fool's errand."
Although she still couldn't see the other person's face clearly, Artolis clearly sensed the sage's line of sight at this close moment. However, before her eyes even overlapped with the other person's line of sight, an intuitive feeling came to her. image.
It was difficult to argue with the naked eye, and it was even impossible to know what happened. Even one second seemed as long as an eternity compared to that short moment. By the time Atoris reacted, her chest was already covered by the other party's hand. The hand knife penetrated completely!
"Artoris!" The pierced afterimage disappeared instantly, and Barong suddenly burst into her eyes, blocking the sage's sword with an impeccable sword. The collision between the ice-condensed sword and the sage's flesh and blood caused sparks like the collision of gold and stone!
At the moment when Baron appeared, Artolis truly understood what kind of existence she was fighting. A collision of that level would make even a frightening moment unnecessary, and absolutely no mistakes could be allowed to occur!
In just a short moment, there were dozens of collisions.
The sage completely saw through the distance between Barong and himself, and always placed himself further to the side than the effective attack range of the sword. He even gave up his right hand holding the spear, and only used his empty left hand to resist Barong's three consecutive sword strikes. .
Facing Barong, who tried to use skillful continuous movements to push him back to the distance he was good at, the sage didn't say a word but smoothly destroyed all the offensives he tried to set up as if taunting him, and then withdrew his fist to kill him. The weapon shattered with one blow.
But his counterattack stopped there. No matter how it went, Baron's restraint gave Artolis a chance to react. With her center of gravity tilted back, she let go of her Life Spirit Sword, and the sword edge that was ordered to mop the ground raised dust. , standing between Barong and the Sage. While standing up straight, he caught the Blue Sword summoned by the opponent, and then with a knowing blow, he suddenly penetrated the curtain of rising dust and pierced directly towards the sage's face!
However, even such a surprise attack could not hurt the sage. Before the sword of Biyou could break through the sage's barrier, it was cut off by a sharper edge.
Artoris's pupils suddenly shrank. What cut off the sword shadow was not a hand knife, let alone a spear, but the Eight Wings spread out behind the sage!
When gathered together they become a sword, when scattered they become a whip.
The sage's wings shone with a chaotic yet holy brilliance. When they first opened, they were like a divine sparrow opening its tail. The ground under his feet was completely destroyed, and the tall towers were snapped at the waist at the snap of a finger.
While flying back, Artoris jumped onto the chain. Under Baron's control, the chain that was condensed into frost showed an absolutely smooth curved surface, and the two of them also used this to glide between the islands to avoid the sage's attack.
On the other side, the battle between a group of people and the sky dragon was equally fierce. Countless steel giants climbed up from the sand waterfall, and the golden-armored warriors also raised their swords and shields and stepped out of the light pillar.
The confrontation between the two men and the new god was fierce in the distance, but the elf swordsman never took his eyes away from the giant dragon.
The dragon's power is no longer what it was before, but Elena's body is almost as weak as a candle in the wind. It wasn't until her body was replaced that she truly understood what kind of state Barong was fighting in before that.
"You really...don't spare any effort..." It was as if he was forcing himself to activate his potential. The man's behavior made Elena involuntarily let out a wry smile.
The moment her eyes met the giant dragon, the Elf Swordsman seemed to see some fragments of herself in it, and long-standing memories suddenly flooded into her heart like a dam.
"Haha...it's really ugly..." Speaking out her worst self-deprecation, Elena straightened up, faced the huge thing in the sky, and took a step forward as if she had made up her mind.
"You should understand that even though this body is on the verge of death, my sword can still resist before the end!"
