Ten meters.
Seven meters.
The sandstorm had completely engulfed the entire hall. The underground hall rumbled and the entire space seemed to be attracted to one point by some kind of force. Brando narrowed his eyes and endured the sharp stones scratching his face. But in the end, he found the predetermined spot.
The blade flashed slightly. In the next moment, Brando's figure disappeared from where he stood and reappeared beside Ovina. The lightning girl didn't seem to notice. She looked up in surprise, but a trace of mockery flashed through her platinum eyes.
Brando observed her expression and immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Shallow."
Before he could swing the Halran Gaia in his hand, he heard Ovina's cold comment. In the next moment, Brando felt the sword in his hand hit an indestructible wall with a clang. The wall was transparent, as if the blade of the Halran Gaia was stopped three feet away from the lightning girl.
"What is this?" Brendel was horrified. He had never heard of a skill that could give the caster a layer of Mana Shield when it was being used. How was he supposed to survive?
"This is not a magic shield, human." Ovina raised the tip of her spear and pointed it at his chin. She answered calmly, "Because you cannot defeat me. This is your destiny, like a predetermined destiny. That is why you are hesitating."
Brando immediately understood that this was also one of Ovina's elements. This was another manifestation of the power of destiny. It planted a subconscious thought in the hearts of all her enemies, making them believe that they could not defeat her.
In other words, there was no magic shield around her at all. It was because he believed that he could not defeat her, so his sword stopped there.
Everything was just an illusion.
But this illusion was so real that it was impossible to resist. Even if Brando used all his strength, his sword would always be stopped three feet away from the lightning girl. It was as if he was fighting himself.
This kind of power was unbelievable. Never mind since he transmigrated to this world, even in his previous life in the game, he had never heard of such a thing. He had often heard other players speculate about how terrifying Existential Power was, but now it seemed that it was even more terrifying than they imagined!
"Understood?" Ovina asked.
Brando smiled bitterly. This was indeed an undefeatable power, because he saw that the girl surrounded by lightning had already begun to accumulate the last of her strength, preparing to unleash her attack.
At this time, the mages from the Silver Alliance had just started chanting their spells.
Brando turned around and saw William's serious expression.
But it was at this moment that a figure appeared in Brando's vision behind the endless storm. A figure that he couldn't even imagine in his dreams.
It was a long, flame-like ponytail. Her long hair fluttered in the wind as her master pushed forward, curling around the spear in her hand. It was just a standard pike of the White Lion Legion. It couldn't even be considered a magical weapon. But the tip of the pike reached Ovina's back in an instant.
It was Scarlet.
The girl of lightning acutely sensed the sneak attack from behind her. With a backhand chop, she sliced half of the pike in Scarlet's hand. She turned around and looked at Scarlet in confusion. "That's strange. Such weak power. How did you escape from my lightning cage?"
"Because I'm lightning too!" The girl with the ponytail roared. "Let go of the Lord!"
"I see." Ovina had already seen the electric arcs floating around Scarlet's body. She raised her eyebrows slightly. "Such pure power of lightning. You also have God's Blood in you, and it's Kaisu's —"
"But unfortunately, it's far from enough." As soon as she finished speaking, she had already sent another chop towards Scarlet's neck. The Azure Knight's Heroic Spirit had probably seen through Scarlet's meager power and decided to take care of her first.
"Careful!" Brando was still beside Ovina. He now knew that attacking the Heroic Spirit of the Azure Knight was pointless. As long as he couldn't break through the Element of Fate, he wouldn't be able to chop off her neck even if she offered it to him. But if he wanted to interfere with Ovina's movements, he had many ways.
Brando dodged the girl of lightning and swung Halran Gaia downwards. He roared, "Rise, Power of the Earth!" The power on Halran Gaia suddenly exploded. The floor of the hall seemed to be bursting with layers of cracks. The floor under Ovina's feet was about to be completely torn apart.
Ovina was furious. She had no choice but to retract her chop. She pressed her hand downwards and released another Time Reversal. This hall was her biggest weakness. Of course she wouldn't let Brando tear it apart.
But as soon as she turned around, the girl with the ponytail behind her found another opportunity to attack. She didn't care that she was less powerful than an ant in Ovina's eyes. She didn't say a word. She held the standard pike with the chopped off head and stabbed it towards Ovina's back.
"Scarlet, get out of the way!" Brando shouted helplessly. He knew that Ovina's Elemental Power was very special. Even he couldn't do anything to her, let alone Scarlet. If Scarlet stayed, she would only be a burden to him.
But it was too late. Scarlet and Brando's relentless attacks infuriated even Ovina, who had a good temper. More importantly, the magic power that William the Great Wizard was accumulating was slowly becoming a threat. Of course, with William's power, it was impossible for him to hurt her. But if he was determined to destroy the hall, it would be a time-consuming and laborious task for her to fix. "A waste of energy and time!" The girl of lightning finally commented coldly. At the same time, she turned her pike and stabbed it towards Brando.
Ovina was very rational. Scarlet obviously posed no threat to her. In comparison, Brando, who had Halran Gaia in his hand, was more of a problem.
But as soon as she thrust her pike, she immediately realized that she had made a huge mistake.
Because she immediately felt Scarlet's pike hit her squarely in the back. Ovina's eyes were filled with disbelief. How could a mortal who wasn't even at the peak of Gold hit her?
Where was her Talent of Fate?
Scarlet had used all her strength to strike Ovina's back. She didn't even scratch the Heroic Spirit's skin. Instead, she herself was sent flying. But according to the power of the Precepts, whether or not this attack caused any damage, it had completely interrupted Ovina's charging skill.
With a bang, the black singularity on the Azure Knight's Heroic Spirit pike completely disappeared.
An opportunity!
Brando didn't know how Scarlet had been able to pierce through Ovina's Elemental Power. But at least he knew that this was a perfect opportunity. While the girl of lightning was distracted, he had already raised Halran Gaia and stabbed it down.
With a loud crack, the power of the Earth that had been nurtured by the sword instantly spread throughout the floor of the hall. Immediately, dense cracks appeared on the flagstones on the ground, and the earth cracked under the flagstones. The underground hall rumbled and tilted to one side, seeming as if it was about to collapse completely.
"What the hell!"
Ovina finally reacted. Even though she claimed to have the power of the Azure Knight at her peak, Brando could tell that this Heroic Spirit had only inherited the power of that legendary hero. But her battle experience and her ability to handle the battlefield were far inferior.
Seeing that the hall was about to collapse, the girl of lightning began to panic. She opened her arms and a vast amount of Elemental Power instantly enveloped the entire underground hall. The entire hall collapsed and then immediately recovered. But then more cracks appeared. Ovina's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She slowly realized that she couldn't hold on any longer.
Because William the Silver Storm had joined the battle.
The magic of an extended earthquake spell was injected into the ground, causing the entire hall to tremble. The pillars in the hall cracked and the ground began to move. Then, a large fissure appeared and sank, sliding into the cracks beneath the ruins along with countless rocks.
The girl of lightning seemed to have finally realized that defeat was inevitable. But she gritted her teeth and raised her head. She said angrily, "Don't think that you've won!"
The entire hall was falling apart into countless pieces. Ovina stood under the largest rock and looked down at Brando and Scarlet. She reached out her hand and retracted the Elemental Power that had enveloped the entire space. Then she shouted, "Destiny, the Shining Fountain!"
History unfolded behind her like a curtain. Countless heroes and legends came to life in those shining fragments and then appeared before Brando.
There were some characters that Brando couldn't even name, but there were also some from the era after the Azure Knight. Among them, Brando recognized the Four Wise Men. Mainly because he was too familiar with the image of the Saint-ausol. These summoned creatures formed from fragments of history – Brando couldn't even describe their state of existence. Rather than Heroic Spirits, they were more like the manifestation of a law.
But clearly, these things that Ovina summoned were not here to have a tea party with him.
The girl of lightning pointed her spear downwards. Her deep, penetrating voice almost drowned out the rumbling of the collapsing hall. "Heroes are merely beings bound by fate and wishes. Their goal is to ensure that the fate of the world continues to exist along a predetermined line. Human, accept their challenge!"
More than ten projections of heroes that seemed to have walked out of legends rushed towards Brando. Brando's face was pale with fright. Although he didn't know how much power these summoned creatures had, if they were too weak, Ovina probably wouldn't have let them out.
The Elemental Power of Fate was a bug. Brando immediately revised the order of the Elemental Power in his mind. In the past, there had been quite a few players who had the Gift of Fate in the game. But he didn't expect this Elemental Power to be so freakish when it reached the realm of the Power of Existence.
It was as if he could get anything he wanted.
The first to reach him was Saint-ausol's illusion. He didn't know if it was a coincidence, but the Wind Empress had clearly demonstrated the power she should have. Brando was just about to raise his sword to parry the Elf's attack when Saint-ausol stepped back and a series of illusions appeared in front of him.
Nine Luminaries Sword Art!
Brando immediately realized that his Nine Luminaries Sword Art was nothing compared to the real Saint-ausol. First of all, their magical powers weren't on the same level. The Wind Empress in front of him seemed to be able to continuously cast Nine Luminaries Sword Art. And each illusion lasted for a very long time, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
And that wasn't the end of it. Next to him was the Flame King, Gretel, who was ready to attack at any moment. Brando's Flash Strike Sword Art had left a deep impression on him.
But luckily, Brando still had one last trick up his sleeve.
The hall was disappearing beneath everyone's feet. He took a step back and grabbed the ponytailed girl's arm. Scarlet paused and instinctively pulled back her hand. "My Lord."
"We can't win. Let's run!" Brando answered. He never had the self-awareness of being an expert. He raised his head and took one last look at Ovina, who was at the very top. More and more heroes were emerging from the screen of light behind her. It made his scalp go numb.
There was no way to win. He didn't know which idiotic designer had designed such a scene. What made him even angrier was that this design actually existed in this world as well.
Was there any scientific basis for this?
Brando shook his head and shouted in the direction where William had been, "Master William, we'll be going first!"
With that, he immediately grabbed Scarlet's hand and jumped into the darkness below.
