Chapter 166: Not just a vase,Fight after so long
In the middle of the dense forest outside the temple, Esdeath and C.C stood face to face with Zhu Bajie, a heretic god summoned by Sun Wukong as a subordinate god. Although Zhu Bajie descended as a subordinate god of Sun Wukong, but because of the influence of the law of the incomplete great covenant that Sun Wukong possessed, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's strength was not inferior to other heretics.
Previously, Noah had moved them outside the temple and divided the battlefield.
Zhu Bajie raised his weapon, the Nine-toothed Harrow and laughed out loud. "You two are no match for me! Why don't you just surrender and become my lover!"
Esdeath glanced at C.C. "Let me handle this disgusting pig."
"Alright," replied C.C. "But don't underestimate my strength. I'll be ready if you need me."
Esdeath took out her sharp sword.
Zhu Bajie jumped forward, attacking quickly, but Esdeath easily dodged, using her incredible speed. She swung her sword, creating a wave of ice that swept towards Zhu Bajie.
"Freezing Ice!" Esdeath shouted. The ice wave shot out, but Zhu Bajie raised his weapon, creating an energy shield that blocked the attack.
"Good, but it's not enough!" Zhu Bajie fought back, releasing an energy attack from his weapon. C.C saw this and immediately created a large tsunami wave.
"Water, come at me!" C.C shouted. The water wave shot towards Zhu Bajie, but he was only trapped for a moment due to the god's high magic resistance.
Seeing her attack fail, C.C frowned. Although Noah had told her that Campione and heretic gods had very high magic resistance, she didn't expect it to be so outrageous. Although C.C wasn't a Campione, the power she had after training with Noah for more than ten years coupled with the protection of Youth made her have a power that was no weaker than any paladin.
Every Noah woman except Edelweiss who is a Campione and Esdeath who is almost S rank, are all A rank.
Athena watches their fight from the roof of the temple, she also sees that C.C and Esdeath's attacks do not have a significant effect on Zhu Bajie. But she has to admit their fighting spirit, especially Esdeath who is getting more excited to fight Zhu Bajie who is stronger than her.
"Let me help you" Athena muttered as she gave her blessing to them so they can have the power to hurt Zhu Bajie.
"From the depths of the sky and the secrets of the earth,
With the power that flows from the darkness,
I, Athena, goddess of wisdom,
Bestow this blessing upon you.
Hear this call, brave souls,
A new power will flow within you,
Like the light of a star piercing the night,
Protecting and guiding you at every step.
With the sharpness of mind and the courage of heart,
The wounds you have given will be useful,
In this battle, do not retreat,
For this blessing will guide you.
From the sky, I call forth strength,
From the earth, I channel resilience,
With a noble name, I grant
This power to fight the darkness."
As the spell was finished, a sparkling light enveloped them.
Esdeath felt a sudden increase in power.
Feeling the power that continued to strengthen her, Esdeath smiled wildly as her attacks became more ferocious.
Zhu Bajie, who saw the change, laughed sinisterly while dodging Esdeath's attacks "Do you think that with this blessing, you can defeat me?" He raised his Nine-toothed Harrow and prepared to attack.
But Esdeath launched a stronger ice attack, creating a solid cone of ice that could even penetrate diamonds. Esdeath's series of rapid attacks left Zhu Bajie with no choice but to defend as he felt the threat of the attack.
Zhu Bajie created a shield of light around him and blocked Esdeath's attack.
On the other hand, C.C released her water energy, and a larger tsunami and tornado wave shot towards Zhu Bajie, collaborating with Esdeath's ice wave that followed behind her. This combination of attacks created a terrifying ice storm, pushing Zhu Bajie back.
Zhu Bajie strengthened his shield, but their attacks were too strong, and the shield began to crack. He began to retreat, but did not give up.
Seeing the opportunity, Esdeath and C.C took advantage of the momentum.
"Now's the time!" Esdeath focused her energy, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"Mahapdama"
Instantly the entire environment was enveloped in crystal blue light as space and time froze with Bajie.
On this occasion, C.C who could move because Esdeath did not freeze C.C made all the water that flooded the place into a water spear with unimaginable density. On the other hand, Esdeath used the remaining power to make the water spear into ice and make the spear even harder.
....Swosh....
The spear shot at high speed in the frozen space-time and pierced Zhu Bajie's head.
When the Mahapdama faded Zhu Bajie's headless body turned into golden light dots and scattered.
...
At the same time on the other side, Edelweiss, with a testament in each hand, looked at Sha Wujing with a calm gaze.
With a smooth movement, Edelweiss dashed forward. Her sword glinted in the sunlight, creating a dazzling yet terrifying light.
"Your attack will not succeed," Sha Wujing said, his voice deep and firm. He raised his staff, ready to meet the incoming attack.
Edelweiss did not answer. In silence, she glided forward, her sword strikes carrying a vibrating force that shook the air around her. Every move she made spread a searing heat, the aura of the sun surrounding her opponent, enticing its heat to destroy everything around it.
Sha Wujing swung his staff, creating a shield made of flowing water. The water glistened in the sunlight, forming a protective wall that seemed unbreakable.
Edelweiss' sword struck the water shield with incredible force. The sound of the impact echoed, creating waves of vibrations that ravaged the surroundings. The water parted, and with an unexpected force, Sha Wujing was forced back. In an instant, Edelweiss changed speed, moving sideways quickly, charging towards her opponent like a ricocheting light.
Sha Wujing, though surprised, did not lose focus. He spun around, using the momentum to direct his staff at Edelweiss, creating a rapidly spinning whirlpool.
"You won't be able to defeat me that easily!" he shouted, and the stream of water shot towards Edelweiss.
With one agile movement, Edelweiss leapt high, dodging the deadly water attack. At the peak of her jump, she swung her sword, creating a dazzling path of light.
The bright light slammed into Sha Wujing, striking her opponent with energy that seemed to burn everything in its path. Sha Wujing tried to block the attack, but the blazing sunlight burned through his water shield, and he felt the heat sting his skin.
"Argh!" Sha Wujing screamed, caught between the two colliding forces. He was forced to retreat, using his staff to steady himself. However, Edelweiss did not give him a chance to breathe. She slid down, taking advantage of the momentum, and struck again with her sword.
The next attack was so fast, it was almost undetectable. Sha Wujing could only try to dodge, but Edelweiss had already predicted his move. Her sword struck the ground, creating an explosion of energy that shook the entire forest. Leaves fell, and the ground shook.
Sha Wujing, despite his injuries, did not give up. He gathered the last of his strength, pointing his staff at Edelweiss. "I will not lose! The river will flow and carry me to victory!"
With that, he created a larger whirlpool, combining his strength to unleash a devastating attack. The water spun at incredible speed, creating a water tornado that was ready to hit Edelweiss.
However, Edelweiss only smiled. She gathered the power of the sun within her, concentrating the energy. "With the power of the sun, I will conquer all."
As the water tornado approached, Edelweiss raised her sword high. The energy of the sun gathered at the tip of the sword, and with a single movement, she slashed through the air. "Burning light!"
The resulting light seemed to break through the boundaries of reality, crashing into the water tornado with unmatched force. An explosion erupted, sending waves of light and water colliding, creating a beautiful yet deadly rainbow.
Sha Wujing staggered, feeling the force crash into him. In an instant, his hopes were gone. He fell, beneath the blinding sunlight. Edelweiss stood there, calm and powerful, watching as Sha Wujing turned into a golden dot of light.
...
Meanwhile in another area of the mountain, Stella, Kanata, Akame, Erica, and Euphemia face dozens of Sun Wukong clones.
"Serve me, Laevatein"
"Francesca"
"Come, lion of steel. Carrying the spirit of the lion, steel carrying the essence of battle! Respond to my hand and voice! Your name is Cuore di Leone... Warrior who inherits the name of the lion-hearted king! Knight Erica Blandelli swears thus, I will repay your loyalty with courage and chivalry!"
"From the depths of the earth, a voice calls,
Unded Army, come quickly,
In the name of Vermilion, destroy my enemies"
Each of them summons their weapons and activates their powers to prepare for battle.
"Diamond Dust"
Kanata immediately dissolves Francesca into millions of sharp blades that are invisible like dust.
"Dragon Spirit possession"... "Satan Fang"
Beside her, Stella strengthens herself before summoning dozens of fire dragons with heat that exceeds the surface of the sun.
In front of them dozens of Unded soldiers lined up to attack Sun Wukong's clone.
While Akame with a quick movement approached Sun Wukong's Clone with Murasame in her hand, if fighting Sun Wukong's real body Murasame might not be able to kill with one cut, but it's different if only fighting a clone. In addition, Murasame is currently stronger than before because it also contains the power of death given by Noah.
Beside Akame, Erica ran fast while holding Coure di Leone in her hand.
Stella stepped forward, moving her hands dozens of fire dragons dancing wildly around her.
"Attack!" she shouted, and the dragons moved quickly, launching towards Sun Wukong's clone with explosive power capable of burning everything.
Kanata didn't want to be left behind. With a quick movement, she directed Francesca towards the clones.
"Diamond Storm!"
Millions of sharp blades from Francesca shot forward, attacking the clones that tried to dodge. Some of them were destroyed instantly, but others continued to advance, unaffected by the attack.
Meanwhile, Akame swiftly approached the clones blocking her path. Murasame glowed with a dark red light as she stepped, focusing on her target.
"Annihilation," Akame said softly, leaping into the air and swinging Murasame with full force. The Sun Wukong clones didn't have time to dodge, and Murasame sliced one of them in half. Black blood flowed freely from the clone's shattered body.
Beside her, Erica sprinted, Coure di Leone ready to attack.
"Steel lion, hear my call!" she cried. The weapon gleamed, and as if in response, Coure di Leone let out a spirited roar. Erica swung her weapon, and in one move, she destroyed several of the approaching clones. Each strike she launched was filled with courage and loyalty, making her even stronger.
On the other side, Kanata was caught in a fight with several clones who were trying to strike back. They leaped nimbly, dodging Francesca's attacks and launching counterattacks.
"I won't let you get any closer!" she shouted, creating a wall of sharp blades blocking their attacks.
"Burn them all!. Dragon Breath!" Stella spewed a sea of fire that covered a wide area and destroyed more clones that approached.
Akame, who had already knocked down several clones, tried to find a gap in the enemy ranks.
She quickly jumped to the side, avoiding an attack coming from the right, and countered with Murasame's swift movements.
Ok "One attack, one death," she whispered, as if promising to each clone she faced.
Erica, who was near Akame, gave her support.
"I will protect you!" She threw her weapon into the sky while chanting a spell.
"Cuore di Leone, I entrust the battlefield to you! Lion Steel, tear him apart. Crush him. Crush him with your jaws!"
A red magic circle immediately appeared above the sword, the sword entered the magic circle before turning into a giant steel lion that rushed against the other Sun Wukon clones.
Meanwhile, the Unded army summoned by Euphemia moved quickly, attacking the clones with practiced cooperation. The sound of battle resounded, both clones and Unded soldiers continued to fall, but the Unded soldiers rose from the dead and continued to fight. Sun Wukong's clones tried to defend themselves, but attacks coming from various directions made them desperate.
"Katharterio Salamadra"
Taking advantage of the clones being surrounded by the Unded army and the steel lions, Stella used her ultimate move. A giant pillar of fire with a temperature that rivaled the sun struck Sun Wukong's clones and destroyed them.
