Chapter 290: Battle · Five (Seeking monthly tickets at month's end!)
From Chen Yu's fingertips, Fangs shot directly at Maeda Toshiie's chest and abdomen, a seemingly insignificant white tooth that actually emitted a howling sound of wind and thunder.
Even though a giant dragon was circling overhead and a storm was brewing, Maeda Toshiie dared not underestimate the white glow that shot towards him. He thrust his Vermilion Spear forward, using the tip to block the path of the Fangs, trying to stop its advance.
"Ding!" The tip of the spear accurately blocked the flying Fangs.
The strong force struck the tip of the spear, causing the entire Vermilion Spear to tremble, and making the shaft of the spear emit a sound of being overburdened.
"Crack!" The Vermilion Spear, which served as a burial weapon for the Feudal Lord of Kaga Million Koku, naturally was not ordinary. But eroded by hundreds of years, and the decay curse applied by Chen Yu, the spear that had accompanied Maeda Toshiie for centuries ultimately broke.
Although it was blocked by the tip of the spear, the Fangs still accurately shot into Maeda Toshiie's chest and abdomen, striking an inexplicable light.
It was as if time had paused, yet it resumed in an instant. The light hit by the Fangs inside Maeda Toshiie's chest suddenly dimmed, seemingly affected by the curse power on the Fangs, but in a blink, it erupted violently, like a suddenly erupting fountain, gushing out from Maeda Toshiie's chest!
The intangible light spread out above Maeda Toshiie's head like a clump of wispy clouds. The bizarre and indescribable shape was like a shining but shapeless color, emitting a glow that was completely different from any known color, incomprehensible to what it really was. Merely glancing at it made one's head throb with discomfort.
"What the hell is this thing!" One hand held her forehead while the other supported her body with her greatsword planted on the ground. Even with the constitution of a dragon, Jounouchi Hiromi felt overwhelmed. She lowered her head, not daring to look at the strange glow any longer, but still commanded Xiao Lan to continue the attack in her heart.
Under the effect of ancient and mysterious Dragonic Magic, the lightning and storm Xiao Lan had accumulated transformed into a cone-shaped bolt, like Odin's Gungnir in Norse mythology, fiercely plunging from the sky and striking the inexplicable light!
Fierce electric light erupted from the sky, and the blinding white light instantly illuminated the courtyard Chen Yu had severed from the mundane world as if it were daylight.
Even with her head down, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but be dazzled and quickly closed her eyes, not daring to look; the thunderous roar produced by the lightning burst nearly deafened her, leaving her unable to hear anything.
When the lightning in the sky finally dissipated, and the thunderous storm that prevented all hearing subsided, there was still a buzzing in her ears. Jounouchi Hiromi eagerly opened her eyes and looked up to see if the intense lightning strike had obliterated that bizarre and inexplicable glow.
But to Jounouchi Hiromi's disappointment, or perhaps despair, that glow had not been destroyed by the lightning strike. Although it had indeed shrunk into a ball under the attack of the lightning, there was no sign of damage, not even a reduction in the light it emitted; it even became brighter due to being condensed.
"What the hell is this thing..." Jounouchi Hiromi murmured again with the same question, but this time, it was not inquisitive, but rather a whisper of powerlessness, feeling unable to start with this enigmatic ball of light before her eyes.

However, when Jounouchi Hiromi felt helpless, Chen Yu did not cease his attacks because Xiao Lan's assault had proved ineffective. On the contrary, the more mysterious the glow appeared, the more he sensed the danger, and thus, he intensified his attack.
A prison made of bones now held Maeda Toshiie, who seemed much weaker without the support of the glow, and locked him in place. Chen Yu paid no further attention to the Warring States general who could no longer pose a threat and summoned various curses with a wave of his hand, hurling them towards the glow like the famous Transmutation Magic Missile Storm.
However, the effectiveness of the Cursing Missiles was rather poor. Although the majority of the curses hit the glow, they seemed to vanish without a trace, just like mud oxen disappearing into the sea; only a few had an almost undetectable effect on it. Even Xiao Lan's lightning was more effective, at least making the entity dodge.
Witnessing this, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed decisively, and he had an idea, "Xiao Lan, create a Lightning Cage and enclose it!"
Upon hearing Chen Yu's command, Xiao Lan did not bother to retort that it was not called Xiao Lan and immediately followed his instructions, conjuring streaks of lightning that wove into a cage in the air, trapping the dangerous glow within.
Although the glow tried to evade, its speed was clearly not fast, certainly not comparable to the Blue Dragon, Child of the Storm. After Xiao Lan trapped the glow, it further tightened the Lightning Cage, restricting the glow's movements.
But Xiao Lan was very careful, not seeking a quick fix but gradually reducing the size of the cage made of lightning, determined to firmly bind the eerie glow.
It seemed that the Lightning Cage did indeed restrain the glow significantly, as it struggled to break through the electric barrier but could not escape the cage of lightning. Experience more content on My Virtual Library Empire
Seeing this, Chen Yu felt a measure of relief; at least there was a way to constrain and attack this mysterious thing, and they were not entirely helpless against it—this meant there was a way to deal with it, rather than just watching helplessly despite knowing the danger.
However, Xiao Lan's containment could only be temporary; even as a Blue Dragon, it was impossible to maintain the Lightning Cage indefinitely.
Moreover, although Chen Yu's spell had temporarily sundered this small piece of space from the world, casting it to the shores of the Nether River, the duration of the spell was limited. If they could not resolve everything before the spell's end, then they would really be in for a spectacle.
All this led Chen Yu to resolve on a quick and decisive battle.
Having made up his mind, Chen Yu had no intention of further probing. The formless and insubstantial glow did not seem like something he could destroy in a short time, and he could not find a method to destroy or even harm it. Hence, the only solution he could think of was banishment.
To banish this glow into the Nether River and let the power of the Endless Styx destroy it!
