Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 169 - 115: Critical Speed Disparity
Eden’s power was temporarily summoned here by the young girl.
The eyes of the giant wolf phantom were like stars, and after turning, they focused on the Bloody Hand.
Seeing this sharp claw, the phantom trembled entirely.
The Bloody Hand broke free from the grip of the Wind Element arm, not rushing towards Li Ang but instead choosing to charge towards Zoe.
Eden’s phantom came back to its senses, opened its giant mouth, and instantly swept up a blizzard; the extreme cold energy flow brought snowfall while rushing toward the Bloody Claw.
The Bloody Hand’s five fingers bent forcefully in midair, seemingly enraged by the Shadow of the Star Soul.
It emitted the most violent dark red beam Li Ang had seen so far, surged against Eden’s ice and snow blast, and instantly shattered the giant wolf’s phantom.
The Bloody Claw stretched out five fingers, seeking direction, aiming at Zoe.
It seemed to forget Li Ang, and transformed into a phantom to grab at the chestnut-haired young girl. ALulu quickly raised her shield to block it.
But neither of them could withstand the attack from that sharp claw head-on.
Andasu, carried on ALulu’s back, lifted her head, her pair of golden eyes gleaming brightly, sweat beads densely covering her honey-like skin, and the intense Blood Fragrance was so strong that Li Ang could clearly smell it from across half the battlefield.
Whether it was an illusion or not, Li Ang felt that the Bloody Hand seemed to slow down slightly when enveloped in the scent.
But those things didn’t matter now.
Li Ang raised his hand, casting a brand new Curse Art upon himself.
He immediately felt his thoughts accelerate severalfold, and the events before his eyes slowed down.
Thanks to Dorothy’s taking the damage, Zoe gaining increased control over Star Soul Power, and temporarily summoning the Star Soul phantom, he had gained time.
This was already enough to completely tip the scales of victory in his favor.
Swiftly wielding the Silver Heart Sword, the Pure Demon Blade came into existence so quickly that for a brief moment, a silver canopy appeared above Li Ang’s head.
The canopy vanished instantly, the blades swift as phantoms crossed a considerable distance, slashing onto the Bloody Hand.
It halted its attack on Zoe, releasing Spiritual Fluctuation, but as soon as the close-range Silver Blade was dispelled, a fresh wave of attacks arrived; these Light Blades were weaker than its Demon Flesh but enough to cut away a portion of its body.
The time advantage beneficial to Li Ang had formed, and even as the Bloody Claw applied Acceleration Technique to itself, it no longer had any chance to resist.
Its dark red flesh was fragmented by the endless silver light, scattered across the ground, swept up by Wind Elemental Creations, crushed and shredded into primal magic, utterly dissipating.
Releasing Spiritual Activation, Li Ang sat weakly on the sand.
Zoe and Dorothy ran towards him.
Eden’s phantom was shattered, but the damage didn’t affect Zoe, and thanks to Demon-Born Flower, Dorothy showed no signs of sharing the impact.
Meanwhile, Li Ang felt a burning sensation on his face.
He touched his face, finding his hand stained with a considerable amount of blood.
"Are you okay, Li Ang?"
The two young girls knelt in front of him with concern, looking over with worry.
Examining the painful area, Li Ang reckoned that it was scratched by the thorns on the Bloody Claw’s surface; its incredibly formidable Pure Demon Body overcame Dorothy’s distributed shock but failed to prevent skin lacerations.
"Glad to rely on you guys, it’s fine."
With the Guardian Ring, victory was essentially secured, and the Star Soul phantom diverted the Bloody Hand’s attention, ultimately deciding the outcome, though it was puzzling why it recklessly charged upon seeing the Star Soul.
Li Ang smiled, wanting to speak, but his whole body shuddered spiritually, and he fell backward completely.
