Chapter 699 6: Try Out the New Toy
A Weakening Decree flew out.
It transformed into an intangible golden chain, falling onto Losa's body.
But Lavinia could clearly sense that a layer of golden, illusory thorns was unexpectedly entwining the massive giant dragon.
He already possessed a Thorny Body of the same origin as the Decree, and combined with the Dragon Qi's resistance to negative effects, the Decree or curse, before his Dragon Qi was exhausted, simply could not have any weakening effect on him.
She smiled somewhat helplessly, "It seems that I can only provide logistical support for everyone in this battle."
The wildfire's blaze grew more and more intense.
Amidst the earth shaking and the mountains quaking, the ground erupted with surging lava, and suddenly, an arm made of lava stretched out from beneath the ground, reaching for Jeanne.
Although Jeanne often fought in the stance of a Knight, her official role was actually "Commander-in-Chief", and her Defense was not weak, though undoubtedly inferior to Prajna and Lavinia.
As for Furin and Cherinita, although their Defense was not as good as Jeanne's, the former had extremely tenacious Life Force, and the latter was too quick in movement, so Jeanne became Losa's primary target.
Jeanne's face flickered with a hint of anger, oh well, treating me like a pushover, huh?
The Holy Spear swept across, shattering the lava hand.
Golden flames blazed fiercely, and her body replaced the sun, radiating endless brilliance, as the Holy Body descended!
Lavinia simultaneously cast four or five enhancing Decrees into her body, like gasoline poured into a fire, and behind her, the wing of flowing flames, which had condensed an unknown amount of sacred radiance, rapidly unfolded.
Though the Holy Flame on the Holy Spear's effect on Losa would be greatly diminished, this was Jeanne's most fundamental power and could not be left unused. However, she shifted her strategy, focusing not on the traditional scorching and purification of sacred radiance, but on the often-overlooked sharpness of the Gungnir Spear.
"I'm ready too."
Furinjira had long avoided this side, and behind her, a pair of wings seemingly gathered from an entire sea of blood spread out.
She was different from Cherinita and Lavinia; these two were both of the Wolf Race but merely hybrids, and with Jeanne's precise control over power, it would not affect them.
As for Prajna, it was now purely in the Anomaly state of the Book Immortal, completely unaffected by the Holy Flame.
But she was different.
As a princess of the Blood Royal Court, she was a pure dark creature, even just approaching would be oppressed by Jeanne's presence, which condensed endless Holy Flame and resembled a small sun.
Clusters of vast Blood Magic Power formed crystalline armor on her body surface, enveloped in a layer of ancient and cryptic array patterns, white bones piercing through flesh, forming two beast-mouth pauldrons.
A cloak composed of blood, seemingly still flowing, draped down from the pauldrons.
She raised her left hand, and a small, exquisite Bloodthorn Crown appeared, placed amidst her white hair. She then opened her right hand, and a terrifying Magic Sword with a large eye on the hilt slowly emerged from her grasp.
Immediately thereafter,
the golden radiance of the Decree fell upon her body.
At that moment, people felt as if they heard the sound of ocean waves beside their ears.
In the blood-red cloak trailing behind Furinjira, countless Demon Spirits composed of blood roared, ready to flood all enemies like a tidal wave at her command.
A trace of surprise appeared on Furin's face, "This four-eyed guy really has some skills."
She said, a look of eager excitement crossing her face, her little tongue lightly licking a sharp canine, "Master, are you ready to take a big hit?"
However, she had absolutely no intention of asking for Losa's consent.
The Blood-colored Demon Sword was tossed by her into the air, and the cloak of blood sea behind her at that moment infused all its power, including the Demon Spirits formed by Blood Magic Power, into it.
A spell she had never performed before, even topping the Blood Magic lists, slowly began to brew.
Losa, sensing the threat, naturally did not overlook this little girl.
He spread his wings, and the Spiritual Radiance of flames surged from all directions, as if rivers returning to the sea.
"These women, now they truly want to kill me."
Losa felt a little solemn; losing wouldn't be 'anything', but this was a matter of pride. Even if he couldn't win, at the very least he had to show a dominating advantage over one person, or it would be too shameful.
Volcanic ash was hurled skyward by the tons, blotting out the sky and sun.
Everyone felt an intense, scorching thirst, as moisture rapidly disappeared from the air.
Crrraa—!
A peal of thunder.
Like the world's roar.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the giant dragon descending to the ground, followed by a torrential downpour that seemed like a burst dam in the Milky Way, gushing down, as if even the fiercest volcano could be extinguished under this terrifying rain.
Trying to weaken my power this way?
Losa frowned; at this point, the Holy Angel that Jeanne had become, had already raised the Holy Spear condensed with endless brilliance, and the terrifying spell Furinjira was brewing behind her had reached its closing stage.
In the shadows, Cherinita, the elusive Assassin, was also ready to deliver a lethal strike at any time.
This didn't feel great at all.
"But..."
"Have you underestimated me?"
Flames turned into meteors, flying from around him.
His massive body took to the sky with a speed ill-suited to its bulk, his searing Dragon Flame directly blasted toward Furin mid-air.
But Furin was obviously no sitting duck. With just a wave of her hand, a blood-red river stood before her, and the Dragon Flame was washed away layer by layer by the Blood Magic Power, soon eroded completely.
Yet right after, Losa's form already appeared before Furin.
She snapped her fingers, and Losa immediately felt himself plunging into a Sea of Blood, the surroundings sticky beyond measure, his speed abruptly reduced, "Master, trying to use Throat-Squeezing Power against me? It's not that simple."
She was on good terms with Cherinita, had long been guarding against Losa's move.
But she quickly saw a hint of 'loving' mockery in Losa's eyes.
Her expression froze, and then she saw a sharp golden Divine Spear spraying out of Losa's mouth.
"Is it the Holy Spear?"
"Ah, how can you use such power."
"Unfair! Unfair!"
She hurriedly spread her wings to block, flustered, her expression panicked.
But the Holy Spear Losa borrowed, also contained an extremely terrifying Holy Power of Evil Breaking, precisely Furin's nemesis. Even before it got close, her pair of wings enveloping blood-red radiance began to emit black smoke.
However, her panic soon disappeared, and her lips curled slightly, "Gotcha, hahaha."
Seemingly inexhaustible Blood Magic Energy surged from her wings continuously, becoming a blood-red vortex. The Holy Spear, known for its excellent restraint against dark creatures, not only did not advance a bit in this situation, but on the contrary, seemed to be absorbed and tainted by the blood-red vortex.
Because the true body of the Holy Spear was in Jeanne's hands, she was unwilling to lend it to him, so the Holy Spear he used was also merely a radiant manifestation, not the original body, its lethality had been significantly reduced.
And judging by Furinjira's appearance, it seemed that even if Losa used the true body of the Holy Spear, it might not have harmed her.
This characteristically vile chap.
Losa griped in his heart, yet a trace of smugness flashed in his eyes, and he spat out once more a Divine Spear gleaming with golden brilliance.
It wasn't the Holy Spear.
But a "Spear of Destiny" infused with Dragon Qi, capable of breaking all magic.
In an instant, wherever the Spear of Destiny passed, all Spiritual Power was completely frozen and dispelled. The Blood Magic that had already taken shape completely lost control in Furinjira's incredulous gaze.
Bam—
The semi-formed magic, which had gathered boundless Blood Magic Power and was unimaginably terrifying, was abruptly broken.
Not only was the spell broken, but Furin also suffered a backlash, rendering her completely immobile for the time being.
"Take a break, Furin."
With a flick of his tail, Losa directly sent Furin flying like hitting a baseball.
But it also seemed to create an opening, as the authentic Holy Spear in Jeanne's hand transformed into a skyscraping golden pillar of light, shooting towards Losa.
