Chapter 1576: Diving like a meteorite
The old Anima paid no heed to the fears of her soldiers. Her entire existence—heart, mind, and soul—remained fixated on a single goal: destroying the young man before her, even if it cost her own life.
Such fanatical devotion made little sense, especially for a faction leader in the Gu Contest. After all, what would be the point of defeating Cain if she perished in the process? Yet Lady Azure seemed beyond such pragmatic concerns; her only thought was the utter downfall of the Monster.
Her voice rang out, harsh and commanding, slicing through the undersea battlefield like a cracked whip. “What are you waiting for? He’s paralyzed—he can’t move! Attack with everything you have! If he survives, you all will die!”
Though her bellow targeted her soldiers, Lady Azure never once shifted her gaze from Cain. She continually channeled streams of power from the underwater city’s towers into her soul strike spell, pushing herself closer to a cataclysmic threshold.
The Divine Transcendence cultivators, momentarily stunned by the monstrous spectacle, were jolted back to reality by Lady Azure’s words. Resentment flickered in their eyes—they knew they were being used as pawns. And yet, in this life-and-death scenario, they had no choice but to obey.
A downpour of spells and attacks imbued with Star Power rained upon Cain. From the outside, it appeared like a relentless storm, each projectile streaking through the water and illuminating the seabed with flashes of arcane brilliance.
Agony twisted Cain’s features. Although most of these attacks failed to inflict meaningful wounds on his robust defenses, he couldn’t retaliate. The mental pain inflicted by Lady Azure’s soul strike was too overwhelming, draining his focus and forcing him to remain on the defensive.
Gradually, even his iron-hard physique began to show signs of strain.
“Damn it!” he cursed in his mind, struggling to fight back.
The source of his torment was the spell Lady Azure had unleashed: Requiem of the Forgotten.
A brutally direct soul assault, it generated invisible nails of pure soul force that pierced into Cain’s consciousness, causing excruciating, blinding agony.
