Chapter 390: The Knight's Return (Part 2)
This time, standing in the center of the array is Olivia.
"Kleinian! Help me open a channel to supply her with magic power!"
Leon commanded in his heart, and as he forcibly cast the healing spell earlier, he felt a stable space created within the heavily disrupted surge of magic power, allowing him to transmit magic power to Olivia on the other side of the technique.
The chaos magic power drawn out by Kleinian immediately began pouring into Olivia's body.
Olivia couldn't help but let out a soft moan as the heavy power within her was stirred by the sudden surge, overturning everything. The Forbidden Demon Domain expanded again, spreading from its original radius of a few meters to over ten meters.
The throbbing in her veins felt as though something was being stimulated, and the girl felt the intense pain in her arms dissipate into the warmth that filled her limbs.
Suddenly she noticed the tip of the scythe blade entering her domain. The girl quickly stepped forward, wielding her great sword, and protected Leon by swiftly slashing off the Demon Giant Scythe that emerged from the shadows.
The sword light was like a shooting star, and the colossal crash was like two mountains colliding. The indestructible Crystal Scythe, shockingly, had a notch chipped out during the collision.
The girl took a sudden step forward, soared mid-air, and unleashed the divine skill Flying Swallow Return Nest, drawing four simultaneous terrifying sword lights.
The power shattering the magic technique cleaved into Valary's armor, and the Flame Sun Light penetrated its magic power, making the demon let out a wretched screech for the first time.
The massive demon's fluttering wings turned to black mist and disappeared, but Olivia didn't recklessly pursue, instead leaping back to Leon's side.
Leon dispersed the spell on the ground, raised his Magic Gun, and stood back to back with her, wary of the Great Demon that had slipped into an unseen domain.
It was as if they were back in the days of Selva Village, only this time they were not facing merely a Poison Snake Baron, but a powerful Ancient Fallen Mage.
Gripping the Magic Gun tightly, Leon realized he needed to find a way to break the stalemate quickly.
Though Kleinian's assistance provided him with an almost inexhaustible supply of Spirit Realm magic power, the issue was that the opponent, within their Demon Realm, also had nearly limitless magic power.
And his mortal body, despite being able to unleash powerful magic, still had its limits.
Even though this limit was enough to crack mountains and split the earth, defeating the demon in Valary's domain with it was still impossible.
The opponent wasn't a brute who only relied on force, but an Fallen Mage with unimaginable experience who wouldn't directly duel him like a straightforward warrior.
Now, the opponent could freely operate within a time-stopped domain, having unlimited time to wear him down, especially since Valary might be constructing other, more powerful, unknown spells.
Could a newly initiated mage like himself duel with an ancient Magic Master who had existed for thousands of years?
Facing a Great Mage capable of imprisoning even god-like beings, Leon was well aware of his lack of chances in the magic domain.
The Divine Soul, sharing his consciousness, sensed Leon's hesitation, and a gentle voice echoed in his heart:
"Don't worry... if we can't defeat him, I'll use Suviel's creations to help you escape."
Glancing at the floating golden ball on his shoulder, Leon relaxed a bit.
No matter how powerful Valary was in the Spirit Realm, as long as they returned to the Material Realm, he would be temporarily safe.
Even if the beings of the Spirit Realm tried to appear in the Material World, they would be weakened considerably due to the Ancient Dragons' laws, as was the case with the Horror Demon banished during the Battle of Rolannar...
But he knew that without resolving the Valary issue this time, both he, Kleinian, and Gaia's creations in both realms would continue to face Valary's schemes, as he would not give up his intent to steal divine souls.
And next time, it might not only be a Horror Demon and a Blood Demon brought along, but more ancient immortal Pope Court Fallen Ones.
However, understanding this hidden danger, what could he do at this moment?
The Space-Time Magic within the Sun Holy Sword had proven to counter the domain magic in Valary's Spirit Palace, but absent the Star God Gaia's power, Lady Aphrodite's Destiny Magic became ineffective.
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but complain that the Divine Soul called "Gaia" wasn't playing fair.
While an outsider God like Kleinian was helping him fight against the Spirit Realm Demon, the local god had returned the moment after being freed...
A vague voice suddenly pierced through the dense endless noise in his consciousness, gradually lingering in Leon's mind.
It was as if something... some voice was calling his name...
That voice... seemed familiar?
Listening closely, the distant sounds of chanting, praying, and reciting grew clearer in his mind...
...It was Kovis's voice!?
Among the incantation-like chants were mentions of his own name and Olivia's name...
Some extremely faint force seemed to be transmitted from Kleinian's divine power amidst countless soul distractions.
"What is that?" Leon asked.
"Someone is calling you... They are trying to summon you through my power... Will you respond?" Kleinian's voice answered.
The words of the Star Soul surprised Leon; was Kovis actually trying to locate him across dimensions?
However, before he could think further, a lightning-quick thought surged through his mind, suddenly bringing an insight to Leon.
Placing a hand on Olivia's shoulder, Leon whispered with a solemn tone: "...When the chance comes, go all out! Don't hesitate, don't be afraid of hurting me!"
