Chapter 173: As Expected
The will of the Celestial Shadow had a furious look in its eyes. It raised a hand, holding the blood pearl. That was the core of the lily’s power, and its massive body shook. In that moment, the entire planet lit up with a scarlet light way more intense and sinister than before.
A terrifying power was unleashed. Nothing could escape. Time and space twisted toward the fleeing targets.
Niara and Darian, who were less than five hundred meters from the building, felt everything around them distort.
They could still see the building up ahead, but suddenly, it felt like it was rushing far, far away.
"Green Divine Armor!"
Niara roared, her wings flaring with full force, launching her forward. The Divine Aura of Life activated along with it. In that instant, she tore through the warped space in front of her and kept moving.
The will’s gaze shifted, a hint of surprise in its eyes. It felt the spiritual root and the connection to the universe’s laws coming from her. That was a unique power of a Primordial Beast, and since it was one too, it knew immediately.
Niara and Darian broke into a cold sweat, fully realizing how outmatched they were.
This enemy wasn’t using corrupt power, so the white armor was barely effective. And since they weren’t fighting directly, the black armor wasn’t helpful either.
In this fight, their best option was the green armor, which represented Niara’s raw power. But it didn’t sync perfectly with her dragon bloodline and her B-rank martial art, since it also amplified her fine human bloodline, mixing everything.
Sure, that had its advantages. But now, Darian realized just how much he’d always depended on the white and black powers. He’d almost never relied on Niara’s own raw strength; even she mostly fought using the white or black power. That’s why they both felt like they had few options now.
