[Ding! You have been shocked by the ‘Bawang Color Dominance’, and you have fallen into a ‘rigid’ state, unable to move...]
[Ding! You have fallen into the erosion of the flame demon domain of the 'Lord of the Devil's Palm', triggering the 'burning' state, and continuously losing 2777 blood / second...]
[Ding! The level is crushed, you are in a state of 'shock', all attributes are -80%...]
【...】
At the moment when Raymond and Queen Isa were communicating with each other, the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" on the opposite side was not polite and took action directly.
Raymond is only at Sequence 4 now, and he has no power to fight back against such top-level demons at the level of demigods.
The system sent a series of negative status reminders. If he was alone, he would be burned to ashes by the bone-corrosive heat wave in the next second.
Fortunately, there is also Queen Isa who is also at the same level of strength.
But when she raised her hand and waved, the void rippled under her palm, and a bright green vine staff was suddenly held in her jade palm. At this moment, the purple gem at the top of the wand burst out with dazzling light, forming a
A layer of green field like a glass cover protected Raymond.
[Ding! ‘Isa Georg Kirchtel’ has injected a ray of natural power into you, and you have obtained the temporary benefit of ‘Natural Body’, which lasts for 1 hour...]
Raymond is very self-aware, and there is no room for him to interfere in the battles between demigods and low-level supernatural beings.
If he stayed here, it would cause trouble for Isa.
Without any hesitation, he put all his equipment into the system package, then jumped into the clear Moon Spring.
"Zi la~" sounded.
It was like jumping into a pool of sulfuric acid. As soon as Raymond's shoes touched the water, corroded white smoke immediately came out.
If Queen Isa hadn't told her that this spring water would corrode all "filthy things", he would have definitely turned around and teleported away after seeing this scary sign.
He fell into the water with a "gudong" sound.
Raymond's clothes were completely corroded by the spring water, but because of the green halo on his body, his body was safe and sound.
At this moment, he didn't care that he was still naked, staring at the battle above him across the water.
He wanted to find the right opportunity to do a little favor for Queen Isa.
.......
The original intention of Queen Isa's visit to the "Moon Spring" this time was to explore the enemy's situation and try to see if the spring water could be used to suppress the "evil spirits" and completely solve this hidden danger.
Now that she saw that the semi-god-level "Demon Lord" was "playing with fire", she immediately changed her first mission goal and chose to kill the demon commander first at all costs.
Obviously, leaving it behind will definitely bring great trouble to the elves.
She has decided that even if she dies in battle, she will never let this devil's conspiracy succeed!
Most of the battles at the demigod level were about the collision of laws, and the masonry of the castle had been turned into ashes. If the Stone Pillar Mountain where the "Moon Spring" was located was not so hard, it would have been destroyed by the collision of the power of the two powerful men.
It disappeared into ashes.
"Is that...the mysterious solution to the law? And one of the six supreme laws...the law of life?"
Seeing this, Raymond's eyes were bright and he had an eye-opening look.
He saw Queen Isa's body suddenly flowing with aura, and behind her, she turned into a shadow of a goddess with blurred features. Green light surged, and a huge and ancient aura overflowed from the tall goddess shadow.
"Jie Jie Jie... The Dharma of the Goddess of Nature?"
On the other hand, the "Devil Palm King" laughed strangely and erupted into a burst of demonic energy.
The moment it took action, the black flames dragged in the giant palm became so powerful that they seemed to burn through the space. The hot black flames formed a vortex and sucked out a large amount of divinity from the Moon Spring like a whale.
And at this moment, the vision happened!
Black tide-like monstrous demonic energy suddenly erupted from the cracks in the void...
Touched by this, the thunder light surging over the entire "Moon Spring Fortress" was like the end of the world, and the thunder light reflected like daylight.
As if the heaven and earth could not bear the burning of the demonic flames, several thick shadows of runic iron chains appeared in the void, re-stitching and repairing the faintly shattered void...
Even a layman like Raymond saw something. The runic iron chains that appeared out of thin air seemed to appear to seal some kind of power that exceeded the limits of the world.
Seeing this strange scene, Queen Isa also exclaimed: "You...actually triggered the 'Law Chain'!"
Her face became extremely solemn, and the terrifying power leaked from the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" now made her, a peak demigod, feel a strong palpitation in her heart.
That power even far exceeds that of demigods!
After thinking for a moment, Isa finally figured it out and shouted softly: "No wonder you can override the instinctive demonic flames of the demon god Gesos. It turns out that you are the monster bred by the bloodline body of the demon god's corpse!"
When she discovered this, she felt even more grateful.
If we hadn't taken this risk to investigate, we might have been in serious trouble if we had to delay it for a while longer.
This "Lord of the Devil's Palm" just used the ability of the magic flame to burn the void, echoed the corpse of the ancient demon god sealed in the abyss, and used his divine power to perform spells!
Because the divine power leaking out of the crack was too terrifying, it triggered the "Law Chain" to seal the world.
Isa's face turned upside down, her eyes were full of coldness: "Like this... I can't even keep you!"
"Great goddess of nature, listen to my chanting. The brilliance of nature shines on the glory of the elves. Give me the power of the moon god to destroy the evil power..."
At this moment, she chanted a spell in the ancient Elf language, and impressively cast a secret technique that could only be mastered by all the Elf Emperors in the past.
With each additional byte of the magic spell uttered, the green light of the goddess's shadow behind Isa became even brighter. Light blue magic light patterns formed on her exposed skin, and a mysterious and destructive aura slowed down.
Slowly overflowing...
After the chanting of the incantation was completed, a silvery radiance shone out from the "Moon Spring", as if a layer of silvery light had been draped over the goddess's appearance.
Isa was fully clothed in her robes, her feet lifted off the ground, and she was actually floating in the air.
And when you look closely, a holy and solemn radiance will appear on her beautiful face, and an indifferent luster that looks down on the world bursts out from her silver-gleaming eyes.
The momentum suddenly changed, there was no longer any smell of fireworks in his body, it was more like the arrival of a god who ignored the common people!
Obviously, she used the secret method to use the divinity of "Moon Spring" to possess abilities beyond her own level!
Both sides stood aside, green light and demonic energy fighting each other.
The momentum of the two sides was evenly matched. After this moment of confrontation, it finally turned into two shock waves, violently colliding together like a falling comet...
.......
The touch of the law field produced a harsh friction explosion in the void, and the shock waves came one after another, destroying all the original stone buildings of the castle into powder...
Raymond in the spring looked at the fierce battle above and was completely stunned.
This is the real "fight between gods".
At this moment, the power displayed by Queen Isa was countless times greater than what she had seen in the "Temple of Nature" that time. It was as if she had been reborn, with a kind of overwhelming pressure that people dare not look directly at!
Even if Raymond didn't understand what happened, he guessed that the power of the collision between Queen Isa, who was blessed by the secret state at this moment, and the devil's hand was definitely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Under the collision of those two terrifying forces, the shadow of the ancient rune chain appeared again and again in the void, as if without the existence of this chain, this space would be completely shattered and collapsed.
Fortunately, there is the protection of this moon spring, otherwise the aftermath of the impact of those two forces would be enough to kill any high-level transcendent on the spot.
...
"This battle...is a bit strange."
As he watched, Raymond, a bystander, also noticed something unusual.
According to common sense, a battle between top-level transcendent beings will never end so quickly. Neither side can even think of killing the other without fighting to the death.
This process may last ten days and a half.
Moreover, even if a top-level master like a demigod cannot defeat him, he definitely has a way to save his life.
But the scene in front of me now is very strange.
Queen Isa clearly wanted to kill the demon king on the spot even if they both died together.
But the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" stood firmly above the Moon Spring, showing no signs of escaping. No matter how fierce Isa's offensive was, it still chose to take it down head-on...
There are no fancy skills in high-level collisions, just one wave higher than the other.
For any normal person, it is definitely not a rational move to fight head-on with someone who is determined to fight to the death.
But this devil did just that.
"Then the 'Lord of the Devil's Palm' obviously has an advantage by dodging, but why does he have to 'stand still and output'..."
Raymond, who was immersed in the spring water, was thinking very calmly.
He stared at the two warring parties, taking in every move they made.
Soon, he discovered a problem and exclaimed in his heart: "No! It's not that the Demon Lord didn't want to avoid it, but it was because the [Void Demonic Flame] hadn't moved, so it didn't move..."
An idea flashed in Raymond's mind, and he suddenly felt that he seemed to understand the key.
The devil's palm has been holding the black fire the size of a wheel, and its surging magic power also originated from the cracks in the void burned by the black fire...
In other words, without the magic flame, it is no match for Queen Isa.
"Perhaps... that devil's palm cannot completely control the [Void Demonic Flame], but uses a certain method to draw magic power from the void by using its power to burn the void? If the black flame leaves the void, the cracks in the void will disappear.
The power will be gone. And those [demonic powers] are the medium through which it controls the black flame?"
He felt more and more that his idea was possible.
The majestic Demon King must know that there is an "evil spirit" in Queen Isa's body. The most convenient way is to use [Demon Power] to detonate the demon spirit and win without a fight.
Even if it cannot detonate the evil spirit, the more than twenty [Demon Powers] in its palm are enough to make any strong demigod suffer heavy losses.
However, the Demon Lord did not use this obviously more convenient method, but arranged those black lights around the [Void Demonic Flame].
Maybe...that [Devil Power] is not used, but cannot be used?
Or maybe, the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" thinks that he can win over Queen Isa just like this?
At this moment, Raymond's thoughts were racing.
He carefully observed every move of the two on the battlefield, quickly weighing every possibility.
And from the current situation, it seems that even if the devil's palm is "standing output", it will indeed have the upper hand in the battle.
The black flame burned the void, and the demonic energy overflowed from the cracks in an endless stream. The demonic palm's momentum continued to win. Time and time again, both sides were seriously injured in head-to-head encounters, but the momentum on both sides grew higher and higher.
It feels like an inflating balloon. When it inflates to a certain level, it doesn't feel like shock, but fear that it will burst!
Although the blessing of divine power gives both parties powers beyond mortals, this "mysterious method" is not completely without consequences.
This technique puts a huge load on the user's body!
How can the power of gods be endured by mortals?
Even if it is a temporary borrowing, it will never last. What’s more, the kind of borrowing that is reckless and will perish together at present?
The bodies of the demons are obviously stronger than those of the elves, and in the end, the demon's hand must be even better.
...
It was originally going to be a pinnacle battle in which all means were used, but what I didn't want to see in the end was the stand-up output and violent confrontation between both sides. It was completely a battle between divine powers.
It's the kind of thing where you kill a thousand enemies and lose nine hundred and five.
Whoever cannot hold on first will lose.
Because of this, the winner of this battle beyond the demigod level will be decided in a short period of time.
"It seems...the results are about to be known..."
As if to confirm Raymond's conjecture, after half an hour of violent exchanges between the warring parties overhead, Isa conveyed her determination to die together.
"Leymon, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to really hurt you this time. I will help you create an escape opportunity in a while, and you can escape from the fortress immediately. But at this moment, the demon army in the city already knows that someone has infiltrated, and I'm afraid they have already set up defenses on the outside.
, whether you can escape from the pursuing soldiers depends on you alone..."
"how about you?"
"I plan to detonate my divine power and die together with this devil. Even if I die, I will never let him succeed!"
"..."
When Raymond heard these words, he knew that his guess was correct.
At this moment, both the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" and Queen Isa showed signs of fatigue. The terrifying divine power descending on them had been exaggerated to the point of explosion.
And their bodies are like a dam full of ant nests, with thousands of holes. When a critical point is broken, the flood in the dam will burst out, and it will be out of control.
Judging from the current situation, Queen Isa must be the first to be overwhelmed.
"Hey... I didn't expect to encounter the worst situation."
Before coming, Raymond had actually expected this ending.
I didn't expect that this ending would come so quickly.
When the two sides were in a stalemate for more than half an hour, Raymond did not interrupt. After all, for a top powerhouse like Isa, if he could observe it, she would also know it.
It doesn't mean much whether you say it or not.
But now, facts force Raymond to make a choice.
The first plan: follow Queen Isa's arrangements and help him escape from the fortress. Then he watches her blow herself up and die, while he himself is hunted down by countless demons and narrowly escapes death...
Either to implement the second plan or to confirm some of his previous ideas.
If you guess wrong, you will definitely die.
If you guess correctly, you will also have a narrow escape.
...
"That's all, since it's my choice, I'll just accompany you all the way to the dark side!"
Raymond's heart was filled with confusion, and he made a decision after only weighing it for a moment.
He planned to stay and confirm his judgment.
He conveyed: "Your Majesty Queen, don't be impulsive. The 'Lord of the Devil's Palm' is obviously very confident and may have other methods hidden, just waiting for you to blow yourself up..."
Isa responded: "If I don't explode myself, I can survive for a quarter of an hour at most, and I will definitely die by then. The demon clan's conspiracy to destroy the secret realm has probably been going on for a long time. If I don't kill it today, it will definitely be a disaster for me, the elves."
The danger of genocide. Therefore, I will never evacuate..."
She guessed that Raymond might want to persuade her to consider the long term, but judging from the current situation, if this opportunity is lost, the demons will definitely be on guard next time, and they may not even be qualified to self-destruct.
Raymond: "No, I mean... I have another way, maybe there is a chance to break the situation."
Isa: “What method?”
Raymond: "I found that the 'Lord of the Demonic Palm' showed no signs of movement from beginning to end. I guess it cannot be moved easily!"
Isa: "So what? It has divine power to protect its body. No matter where it stands, no external force can harm it."
She had already tried this just now.
With the blessing of divine power, she tried all kinds of methods, but in the end she had no choice but to get this "Demon Lord", let alone others. So even if she knew that it had the shortcoming of being unable to move, there was nothing she could do.
"I probably know...why he can't move!"
Raymond thought of what his third uncle had said to him before: if you want to control some power that exceeds the endurance limit of a top extraordinary person, you must rely on "balance" rather than "suppression".
Now the "Demon Palm King" has his own power, [Devil Power], the power of demon flames, the magic power drawn from the corpse of the demon god in the void...
Each of them is an existence that is enough to scare even the powerful demigods.
From what Third Uncle said, no matter how strong he is, it is absolutely impossible for a mortal to be able to forcibly control such a power that is clearly beyond the limit of the physical body.
Therefore, Raymond guessed that the most likely possibility was that the "Lord of the Devil's Palm" had mastered the balance between these forces and stabilized them.
The key to breaking the situation is to break this "balance point".
And it just so happens that he can peel off and absorb the [Devil Power].
Without a key link, those violent forces must be out of balance...
...
Raymond gave a rough explanation.
"So, as long as you send me within three meters of it, I will be able to peel off the [Devil Power]. If it is as I expected, when the balance is broken, the 'Demon Palm Lord' will be severely damaged. Maybe
Can you defeat yourself without attacking..."
This is a very risky plan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "life-threatening".
If Isa hadn't already expressed her determination to die together if she couldn't beat him, Raymond, with his life-oriented character, would never have put himself in danger.
"balance?"
After hearing this transmission, Isa instantly understood the mystery behind it. The theory of "balance of power" gave her a feeling of enlightenment.
She responded: "But if this is the case, there is only one chance... If I guess wrong, I will no longer have the energy to send you out of the city, and you will have no chance to escape..."
Raymond responded firmly: "Well... let's die together."
"you..."
For some reason, when Isa heard this, she seemed to see Raymond's free and open-minded smiling face.
In my heart, there seemed to be emotions stirring in my eyes.
How many years have passed since the time she was designated as the heir to the Elf Emperor? Apart from the survival of the ethnic group, she has no more emotions in her heart.
In order to become stronger, she gave up everything.
She is stunningly beautiful, yet unparalleled in arrogance...
But at this moment, a certain emotion that made people burst into tears flooded into my heart.
This human being gave her a different kind of emotional sustenance.
It's so wonderful that only at the last moment can a person see his true heart clearly.
See yourself clearly and see others clearly.
[Ding! ‘Isa Georg Kirchter’’s favorability for you has increased by 18, and the current number is 98. The relationship is “close and intimate”. 】
Isa glanced sideways, but the corner of her mouth raised a slight smile.
