Drawing Cards in the Middle Ages to Rise in Ranks
Chapter 773 - 78: King of the Crusaders
"I've been on guard against you for a long time."
The disintegrated Sun God Body transformed into limitless flames, instantly engulfing Cherina's figure. The Guardian Pendant and the Protective Talisman personally crafted by Furinjira exploded, forming a shield around her.
Yet the two layers of shields lasted only a single breath before they were covered in cracks.
The King-slaying Blade shimmered with a dark light, spontaneously slicing out a black fissure, urging Cherina to flee.
This master-devouring Magic Artifact naturally had no lofty determination of saving the new "host," but at that moment, as Shemir unleashed most of the Solar Divine Power with the Sun God Body, even this artifact, which had existed for countless ages, sensed the peril of destruction.
Seeing Cherina trapped in danger, the Red-Black Dragon raised its head and roared in fury, pressing a Dragon Claw against Osiris God's chest and harshly slamming him to the ground.
The next instant, the Spiritual Power allocated to the physique returned, and terrifying Dragon Flame swept out from the Giant Dragon's mouth, igniting the green Mummy into a torch.
Clang—
The Holy Spear pierced through the back of its head, completely annihilating it.
Losa's heart was filled with wrath, smashing through obstacles, killing Ancient Gods along the way, showcasing an invincible stance in the eyes of others. He had also accumulated a terrifying momentum, charging into the Sun God Fire representing extreme heat.
Roar—
The dragon's roar echoed.
A dark glow sliced through layers of Divine Fire, flying toward Losa.
The dark glow grew weaker as it flew, and the brilliance in Cherina's wolf-like eyes of the Wolf Race rapidly diminished. Her clothes burned to ash in the flames, her skin lost its sheen, and her blue-gray hair dried up and curled.
At the critical moment, the Red-Black Dragon lunged forward, decisively swallowing the dark glow into its mouth.
Sigh—
Losa let out a soft breath. Although Cherina shared his Tyrannical Dragon's "Nirvana" talent, forming a Nirvana Egg upon receiving a fatal injury, resurrecting could take an unknown amount of time.
The surrounding flame storm showed no intention of calming, transforming this place into a sealed Sun Divine Realm under the Solar Divine Power.
Shemir strolled leisurely through the firestorm, though the Sun God Body was dispersed, he could still indirectly manipulate this Divine Realm through the Cuneiform Clay Tablet hovering beside him, wielding its final brilliance.
"Here, is your burial ground."
Shemir's eyes flickered with Golden Radiance, suspended mid-air, exuding a transcendent aura, resembling divine sanctity.
"Then try it!"
The Red-Black Dragon raised its head, full of defiance.
Though Shemir's use of Solar Divine Power was crude, it remained a power far stronger than what Shemir himself possessed. Without the Sun God Body, Shemir's combat capabilities evidently dwindled significantly.
Furthermore, the Ancient Gods that required his attention to control had perished, which certainly affected him.
The Cuneiform Clay Tablet, capable of such power, was already the strongest Divine Artifact Losa had seen in his life. It couldn't pull off any new tricks; in Shemir's current state, he was no better off.
The Red-Black Dragon flapped its enormous wings, soaring into the sky, transforming Spiritual Power into Agility, elevating its speed to the extreme, crashing through Shemir's body.
Yet the figure merely disappeared with a faint sound, and Shemir's mocking voice echoed once more from behind the Giant Dragon.
"Another new ability. It seems, the secrets you harbor are more than I anticipated. But it's alright, once you die, I'll uncover them all."
The dragon turned its head, feeling a hint of suspicion.
Just now, in its perception, this guy was definitely real, not some fictional mirage—either Shemir deceived his perception or this guy could teleport anywhere within this Divine Realm.
If it were the former, that's manageable; the latter, however, essentially means Shemir stands undefeated.
"Shemir, you know what? Your use of Solar Divine Power is indeed very crude."
The Blazing Wing Angel on the dragon's head suddenly spoke.
"My lord was right, Shemir; you became Legendary because of the Cuneiform Clay Tablet. You use Solar Divine Power relying on the Cuneiform Clay Tablet. You've become Legendary, that's true, but what belongs to you?"
Shemir sneered in silence. The previous anger had passed; similar words, spoken again, no longer held the same sting.
He raised a finger to the sky. A meteor with a fiery tail crashed down from the Sun Divine Realm.
The dragon raised its head high, its crown-like Dragon Horn enduring the impact of the meteor. The Sun Divine Realm could not cut off external aid, anticipated, and Lavinia's Decree blessing always accompanied him.
Moreover, Losa's resistance to flames was extremely high. The meteor was effectively just a large rock.
Boom—
The meteor exploded.
The dragon pierced through layers of smoke, Divine Fire, reaching Shemir once more within a single breath.
The Holy Spear thrust, and Shemir's form dissipated again.
But the Holy Spear piercing through Shemir's figure abruptly turned, stabbing in the opposite direction.
Clang—
The Holy Spear nailed onto a Cuneiform Clay Tablet. The seemingly thin tablet made of dirt and stone was unexpectedly indestructible, sparking a series of fires against the Holy Spear forged by God King Odin's Gungnir.
The Holy Flame encircling the Holy Spear was quickly extinguished. The spear known as the Spear of Certain Hit unfortunately missed.
Shemir's face turned a bit pale. Though the Cuneiform Clay Tablet blocked most of the damage, some recoil affected him, just as Losa predicted. His condition now was far from peak.
In fact, his internal organs, intestines were almost twisted into a knot. If not for stepping into the Legendary, with life's level ascending, nearly becoming a form of pure energy, an ordinary Caster would have died a hundred times.
The Holy Spear returned to Jeanne's hand. She sighed softly, then resolutely departed from Losa's back, launching into the sky of the Sun Divine Realm.
Losa's expression changed slightly; Jeanne couldn't achieve his near-total fire immunity. Off his back, she constantly expended energy resisting the intrusion of Divine Fire, knowing that once her reserves of energy depleted in Holy Body state, she would burn her own life.
"Even the sun should bow to me."
The Knight of Radiance, raising her Holy Spear and pointing towards the heavens, seemed to command someone.
The Holy Flame on her body suddenly flared up, like gasoline poured over it, becoming ever more vigorous, appearing from afar like a sun!
Shemir's complexion underwent dramatic changes—he felt it!
Felt his control over the Sun Divine Realm, which had always resembled a machine requiring the Cuneiform Clay Tablet as a controller, was clumsy. Now it was akin to a rusted machine, every component screaming under the strain.
Losa naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.
He swiftly unleashed a tidal wave of attacks, accelerating, many of Shemir's strikes he astonishingly endured without dodging; it was also time for Losa to be reckless.
One inside, Jeanne was already fighting desperately.
Egypt's fate, decided from today.
