Chapter 390: The Knight's Return
The knight in black armor spread his sapphire light wings, carrying the fury of Kleinian, transforming into a stream of light.
——Boom!
Deafening collisions stirred up gales, as cannon-like explosions echoed above the Crystal Maze.
A lightning-fast strike disrupted the unknown spell constructed by Valary. At this moment, Leon seemed to possess infinite Magic Power, releasing all the Combat Magic he knew without reservation. He deftly wielded the familiar Atmospheric Elemental Magic, commanding the ceaseless thunder to blossom beneath the chaotic canopies of the Spirit Realm, with lightning continually assaulting Valary's Demon Body.
This extreme anger didn't entirely belong to Leon, but he understood he must endure the emotion-laden ocean relentlessly sweeping over his consciousness, using the Divine Power bestowed by Kleinian to enact His vengeance.
Garner cleaved through the fierce rainbow-colored breath from Valary's eagle-like head, Leon parried away the Six-Winged Demon's crystal giant scythe imbued with phantom strikes, soaring to Valary's flank and, with exceptional gun skills, stabbed the Wing Blade into the Demon's chest.
No blood emerged; only surging Demon Fire burst forth from the hard Demon Body pierced by the Thunder Spear.
The Six-Winged Demon and the azure knight like an angel soared through the sky, perpetually entangled like comets, with their colliding Magic Weapons shaking the heavens.
Yet, even as they dueled at supernatural speeds, Leon noticed Valary's martial arts were exceedingly crude. The Demon knew how to engage in close-quarters combat, each move seemingly able to read Leon's intentions, yet it seemed he hadn't fought against someone of similar speed and power for ages. Every counterattack appeared rushed and reckless, with his offense in disarray.
Thus, amid the frequent, ferocious yet awkward slashes, Leon managed to leave flame-splattering wounds along Valary's colossal form.
Yet, even with momentary dominance in the melee through the immense Star God Power, Leon dared not relax even for a moment.
He was acutely aware that his Magic Mastery compared to this ancient Magic Master was like cloud to earth, thus he fought with Divine Speed, striking with deadly intent each time, not allowing any space for the Demon to cast spells.
Still, Valary, pierced by the gun blade, showed no sign of pain. Amidst the Demon's disordered parrying, he left behind light traces that had already constructed a powerful spell.
The crystal giant scythe swung again at Leon, the ancient Magic Wand slicing time and space with its blade edge, carrying a rapidly expanding, pitch-black spatial rift, forcing Leon to withdraw Garner to evade this terrifying slash capable of tearing through the Spirit Realm.
A rift-like chasm cut from mid-air stood as a barrier before Leon, from which countless twisted shadows like dragons and serpents poured out, swiftly assailing him.
Unaware of this Magic's potency, Leon dared not take it head-on, his light wings fluttered through the shadows, forcing him from the sky back to the Crystal Land, pursued by chaotic shadows like a long serpent, penetrating deeply into the ground, nearly sealing off his maneuvering space.
As he momentarily paused, Leon suddenly heard an overwhelming gong, as if resonating with his soul, making his feet feel like they were laden with lead.
Magic light curtains surged upward across the Crystal Land, unleashing a storm of Chaos Magic within the Spirit Realm.
High above in the sky.
Valary's giant scythe swirled with rings of Magic Patterns, as two additional arms extended from his chest, finally finding space to complete sketching the intricate and radiant Dharma Seal.
"In this domain, even you must remain forever frozen in time and space with Him!" The Six-Winged Demon's piercing acoustic waves swiftly enveloped everything within the circular domain.
The shattered crystal rocks froze mid-air, tides of Magic Power and all airflows came to a halt, with Leon unable to escape the Magic Domain covering the entire Spirit Palace.
His thoughts still coherent, but only limited to thoughts; light, Magic Power, sound, touch, all became unperceivable.
Panicked, the immense Divine Power from Kleinian still surged within him, but the Star Soul from the Exotic Realm currently had no means to unravel the powerful domain spell that imprisoned time and space throughout the Spirit Palace.
In an unseen vista, the Demon's six wings vibrated, colorful plumes scattering like feather dust with bizarre hues, silent as they swung the scythe within the Magic Domain where neither light nor matter could move.
Yet, the dangerous blade was once again firmly clashed against a glowing, radiant edge.
No sound of collision, yet a crisp, furious voice pierced through the Magic's hold, defying time's frozen law, as it struck directly at the Demon's soul.
A familiar golden whirlwind gave Valary a momentary daze, as though glimpsing the wrathful golden War God of the past.
"Never! Harm him!!!" The girl surrounded by light, her hair billowing, Olivia stormed through the Demon's Magic Domain, yelling as she cleaved apart the giant blade.
A Forbidden Magic Field expanded around her, restoring the flow of time to a radius of some meters, but the Silver Armor covering her arms instantly shattered to dust due to the Demonic force transmitted.
Leon, his form released, immediately thrust his Magic Gun forward, delivering a mighty strike onto Valary's lavish robe armor, sending the Demonic body clashed against the girl's weapon out of the Forbidden Magic Field.
As the force slipped away the next moment, Olivia could no longer endure. Her arms' bones shattered completely, the girl let her sword blade droop, gripping the hilt tightly with just muscle, gritting her teeth to support her body.
The surrounding domain was suddenly compressed by the Demon Realm, and Leon's rapidly processing mind instantly constructed overlapping Magic Techniques. Garner struck down, sketching a Magic Pattern Array Light that absorbed Magic Power at the girl's feet.
