"Power of Fate, History Reversal!"
Ovina's deep voice echoed in the hall. A strange scene appeared in front of Brando. Time and space were like a series of replays. The ground that had been pierced by the white beam of light reassembled itself. The colorful array of light flowed back. The shattered stone slabs, layers of soil, and rocks were glued back together, seamlessly returning to their original state.
Dragon Strike was like a retracted platinum sword that flowed back from the ground and returned to the array of laws in the hands of the stunned The Shire. The rearranged magic flowed back and was disassembled into the most primitive magic, reversing the entire spellcasting process. This was a scene that had never been seen before.
Anyone with a basic understanding of magic would understand what kind of power was contained in this scene. Tania and William, the two outstanding wizards in the crowd, were both shocked and fascinated. Time, space, and energy were the most basic explanations of the laws of the world. This was the power of existence.
"There's no way to fight this, boss!" The Shire screamed.
"You can't defeat me!" The lightning girl declared proudly. Thousands of electric arcs appeared on her body in an instant. These electric arcs expanded in all directions, each one accurately hitting every single person in the hall. The first to bear the brunt was, of course, Brando, who was being held hostage by Ovina. He was sent flying.
Dilferi, Amandina, and all the non-combat Roman females let out a scream. The expanding electric arcs formed a giant net of light in the hall. One end of the net enveloped every single person and bound them to the wall on one side of the hall.
Only William's eyes flashed. He raised Draca, the scepter of the sky, with one hand. A transparent hemispherical shield appeared around his body. Hundreds of golden electric arcs flashed across the magic shield and shattered into countless electric particles like fireworks.
The other one who was still standing was Brando. The moment he got up, he activated the talent of The Fool. The Blood of God burned fiercely in his body, forming a barrier of willpower that was almost visible to the naked eye around his body. All the lightning disappeared before it could get close to his body.
"Eh?" When Ovina saw this, a look of curiosity appeared in her eyes. "This is … Odin's aura. There are so many strange things about you."
"This kind of magic is completely ineffective against me!" Brando's Halran Gaia was already out of its scabbard. He lifted his head to look at Ovina, who was in the middle of the lightning, and swung his sword at her.
"What a joke. Even if he himself came, he wouldn't be a match for me." The lightning girl snorted coldly, and in the blink of an eye, all the lightning in the underground hall disappeared into the darkness. Only one beam remained, and that was the lightning spear in her hand. It was as if Ovina had already seen through Brando's attack route. The moment the ghostly blade appeared before her, her spear had already blocked Brando's Halran Gaia with a clang.
The lightning in her hands was like a substance, and she was able to change the nature of the energy at will. This kind of power had long been extinct in this era.
"You also know the sword skills of the dragons. Do you want me to teach you a few moves?" Ovina didn't seem to care about Brando's Flash Strike Sword Art at all. She parried Brando's attack with one hand and took a step back, easily maintaining her distance from Brando.
Brando actually wanted to say, "Sure." To be able to get the Azure Knight to teach him any skill, even in the games of his era, it would be shocking. But unfortunately, he couldn't say anything because the spear in Ovina's hand was already stabbing at him like a dragon's fang.
At that moment, he was almost scared out of his wits. The lightning girl's spear split into four, and each one was like the shadow of the moon. This was the ultimate spear skill of the Astral Knight: Silent Night. A skill with such a literary name, of course, had to be a royal inheritance of the Wind Elves. In fact, it was also one of the secrets of the Astral Inheritance.
But the question was, what about the prerequisite skills for this move? What about the charging time? How come they all disappeared in this woman's hands! Wasn't this a bug?
The four spear shadows hit Brando's body in an instant. Spear Technique: Silent Night's specialty was like endless darkness. The more he dodged, the more he would pursue. But once he hit, the follow-up attacks would disappear without a trace.
But with only four spears, with Ovina's power level, it was more than enough for Brando to suffer. Even she herself thought that Brando would lose. She didn't expect the lightning spear to pass through a layer of shadow.
An illusion? A cold light flashed through the lightning girl's platinum eyes. She saw that Brando's illusion in the air was still advancing and stabbing at her.
"Huh? This isn't an illusion, it's a magic doppelganger! " Ovina's voice was slightly surprised. She took another step back and dodged the attack. She asked in surprise, "This really is a genius sword technique. Did you come up with it?"
Brando didn't answer. The Nine Luminaries Sword Technique instantly created four or five doppelgangers. Each doppelganger attacked once. It was as if Brando's sword technique had created multiple shadows around the lightning girl.
"Tsk, you think you can win like this?"
The lightning girl sneered coldly. She blocked all the attacks with clanking sounds and didn't use her right hand from beginning to end. Then she held the spear horizontally and swung it like she was dancing in a circle.
"This opening move … Dragon Tooth Slash of Steel Scales!"
Brando's body reacted faster than his brain. He knelt on the ground and leaned back, allowing the lightning spear's blade to graze his chin.
Dragon Tooth Slash was known as the most powerful single target armor piercing skill. When Ovina used it, it was even more terrifying. The sound the spear made when it sliced through the air was almost like a shriek, so much so that the very air itself seemed to tremble. But Brando knew very well that this skill had a fatal flaw in its attack range. He was very familiar with this skill, so before Ovina even made a move, he had already reacted instinctively.
The lightning spear flashed past like a flickering shadow. At the same time, Brando's left hand was on the ground and his right hand was already swinging Halran Gaia at the lightning girl with the spear.
This move was the simplest and most effective way to deal with a Warrior using Dragon Tooth Slash.
Of course, it was also the most effective counterattack that the players had come up with after thousands of battles.
In the past, every time Brando used it, it was always successful.
But Ovina reached out with her right hand and with a creak, she firmly grasped Brando's blade. She used three fingers to pinch the pitch-black back of Halran Gaia. Brando felt as if the sword in his hand had sunk into steel and couldn't move.
The lightning girl smiled. "You have quick reflexes. For someone your age, you have plenty of battle experience."
As she finished speaking, she raised her spear and thrust it at Brando. This thrust made Brando's vision go dark. It looked like a normal thrust, but it was clearly the Rock Resonance Spear of the Earth Knight. As expected, as soon as Ovina thrust her spear, the ground beneath the lightning spear trembled and cracked. Rock fragments flew up from the ground and were blown away by the shockwave.
Ovina had only attacked three times, and each time, it was the ultimate skill of a Warrior class. But in her hands, it was like an ordinary skill. She threw it out one after another as if it didn't cost any money.
This time, I've really run into a cheat! That was the only thought that flashed through Brando's mind. He watched as the spear came at his throat, but he couldn't move. The Rock Resonance Spear was the signature skill of the Earth Knight. Its specialty was that it used the power of spatial vibrations to lock onto the enemy's dodging range. In the game, it only showed a lack of dexterity, but in Ovina's hands, his dexterity was cut to zero.
Was this something a human could do?
But at that moment, there was a sudden loud boom. The ground beneath Brando's feet cracked. His entire body sank, causing the lightning spear to lose its original target. The spear brushed past his scalp.
The lightning girl immediately turned her head. She looked in the direction of the Great Wizard William and asked coldly, "Earthquake?"
William put down the Sky Scepter in his hand and placed the end of the scepter on the ground. He nodded politely at Ovina. "Yes, Mistress Azure Knight."
"You want to fight two against one? No problem! "
Ovina turned around, no longer facing Brando. Instead, she snapped her fingers. "Fate, the Miracle of Time!"
A strange scene immediately appeared in the hall. Rainbow-Colored light shone through the darkness like sunlight through a prism, forming pages of colorful gaps. It was a mesmerizing sight. But Brando, who was in the middle of it all, didn't find it beautiful at all. He only felt that his scalp was in trouble.
Because the flowing lights were all gaps in time, the flow of time in the hall was completely disrupted.
He realized that both his and William's movements had slowed down.
Brando was going crazy. Even if the Azure Knight's Element was Fate, how could she manipulate time and space so naturally? Since when did the Talent of Fate add this ability?
But Ovina seemed to have seen through his confusion. She answered in a low voice, "Those broken pieces of time and experiences are also part of the memory of history. The fate of people describes the world itself. There is nothing that cannot be manipulated by the laws."
"Your understanding of the elements is still very shallow."
"Now, it's my turn to attack."
The lightning girl raised her spear. Endless space seemed to gather at the tip of her spear. In a flash, it formed a singularity that was impossible to see with the naked eye. The singularity had no color. It was pitch black, with lightning flashing around its edges. Although Brando had never seen a move like this, he knew that it was no joke.
Because this was the first time he had seen Ovina charge up.
How did he meet such a freak? Brando didn't know what to say. He turned around and glanced at William. Their only chance of winning was to force Ovina out of the hall. Otherwise, fighting the Azure Knight would be a joke. The Archmage of the Silver Alliance seemed to have realized this as well. He nodded at him.
"I'll hold her back!" Brando yelled.
Of course, to be honest, he had no idea if he could succeed. But at least he had noticed that all of Ovina's previous attacks were harmless. This meant that due to some kind of law, this Heroic Spirit who was guarding this place couldn't kill the challenger.
As long as he didn't die, then anything was fine for Brando.
The gathering power had already created a whirlwind in the hall. Brando raised his head and glanced at Ovina in the center of the whirlwind. He raised the Halran Gaia and "slowly" inched towards her.
It wasn't that he wanted to move slowly, but Ovina's Miracle of Time was too freakish. Not only did it slow down time for everyone around her, but it also sped up for herself. It was much more powerful than the legendary twelve-circle "Time Imprisonment" spell of the Law-Defying Sorcerers.
But Brando knew that he still had a chance.
He still had the Flash Strike Sword Art. The Flash Strike Sword Art could ignore space and time. If he got a little closer, he would be able to attack. He raised his head and watched Ovina's every move, hoping that she would be fully focused on casting that ultimate move. Then he would be able to take advantage of the opening.
Of course, he didn't expect his attack to do much damage. He only needed to disturb her a little.
As one of the twelve leaders of the Drolla Sorcerers, William's spellcasting speed was not to be underestimated, even under the effect of time slowing down.
Brando silently estimated the distance. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
