Chapter 965: Chapter 727: Improved Magic
Damn it!
Armand swore inwardly as he tried to shatter Ai Lin’s hands with his powerful magic, but the thin-looking black armguards she wore seemed indestructible!
Ai Lin’s combat style was like a dance, though the techniques came from Long Yi, her approach was lighter and more agile than Long Yi’s tank-like offense, easily landing opponents in dire straits.
Just like now!
Boom!
The explosive damage from Ai Lin’s left fist broke through Adaman’s defense, and her right fist, carrying devastating force, heavily struck Adaman’s chest!
Although at that time Adaman was glowing with golden light, like a statue, the punch still blasted a huge hole in his chest!
But!
The hole disappeared in an instant!
Everyone present felt a pain in their chests, and some, as usual, lifted up their clothes to find a swollen red mark on their chest, while the wounds Left by Long Yi had started to bleed again under the impact.
The damage from that punch was incredibly high!
So high that even Adaman felt it was unbelievable. After all, he had always been shielded by the Giant’s strength; ordinary magic wouldn’t even reach him, let alone hurt him, but Ai Lin’s punch had just pierced through his defenses!
That feeling was just like...
Long Yi!
Adaman fixed his gaze on Long Yi because the sensation from the sword that had sliced through the hammer handle was the same. The power of that sword completely disregarded his protective Giant’s strength!
Now that he thought about it, Long Yi and Ai Lin really resembled each other: both were strong; both were arrogant; both appeared on the battlefield vying for the Giant’s legacy, and both were teaming up against him!
Because they were in it together!
But what of it!
Adaman didn’t care at all! Because today they would all submit to me! Their secrets would all become mine!
"If that’s all you’ve got, you’re not enough for me today!" Adaman sneered darkly, "Both of you come at me together, stop wasting time."
Hearing this, Long Yi’s eyes widened, "Damn it, you old bastard, how dare you steal my lines! Neither of us can be beaten by you alone, and now you want us to join forces? Have you lost your mind?"
Long Yi yelled.
"Because if you don’t join forces now, you’ll have no chance!"
Adaman’s fists collided forcefully, and the armguard began to morph and spread further, turning into a set of golden armor that enveloped Adaman! The patterns on the armor flowed with an immensely strong Giant’s power, and all the patterns formed a powerful Array. Adaman’s disciples present all simultaneously fell into a trance, their mana roiling unprecedentedly, converging into a tide of mana, and gathering on Adaman.
In an instant, an indescribable surge of massive mana pressure approached, causing even Long Yi and Ai Lin to step back several times! Not just them, even the Emperor and his soldiers who were watching from the air felt this pressure, causing disturbance in the sky.
"Adaman actually improved the Eternal Arena. I remember when I heard about this magic, he wasn’t able to draw mana from his disciples..." Saint Danze murmured.
"What’s the use of saying that now?" Saint Jialin said, anxious.
"It’s useless now. All I hope is that Long Yi and Ai Lin quickly join forces to defeat Adaman, this old bastard is too dangerous," said Saint Danze.
"Weren’t you always relying on him before?" Saint Jialin said disdainfully.
"For the same reasons you were relying on Lou Aran. But it’s clear that, compared to Long Yi and Miss Ai Lin, these ancient powerhouses have never considered us one of their own," Saint Danze sighed.
"Alas, let’s just see how it goes!" said Saint Jialin, also helplessly.
In the arena, mana swirled around Adaman. He had never before felt such powerful mana. This was the first time since he completed the magic that so many people were providing him with mana! At this moment, he felt like a god, almost omnipotent!
"Little Zi, how’s the analysis of the magic here going?" Long Yi asked through the contract.
Little Zi had not been fighting all this time; she and her thirteen avatars had been continuously analyzing the magic of the arena around them.
"The good news is I’ve figured out the composition of this magic," said Little Zi.
"And the bad news?"
"The bad news is that Adaman has placed the key to this magic on himself; unless you defeat him, the spell will continue indefinitely," Little Zi said.
"This means you’re telling me not to think about any shortcuts, just take him down honestly," Long Yi smiled.
"That’s basically it," Little Zi said.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Long Yi glanced at Ai Lin, and she at the same time looked back at him.
The understanding in their eyes needed no further words!
"Let’s do this together!"
The massive cosmic stone stinger at the tail of the Red Demon Scorpion was fully activated, sending out thick, toxic beams, but Adaman didn’t dodge or evade. The toxic rays couldn’t be nullified by a mana shield; instead, every one of Adaman’s disciples in the arena shared the damage equally. Even though they had lost consciousness, they still felt pain, their expressions slightly twisted, but no one cried out, no one struggled, just like puppets!
Little Zi and her thirteen avatars surrounded Adaman, releasing Mental Impacts simultaneously, but Adaman just laughed out loud. Despite Little Zi’s immense strength and the combined force of her and her thirteen avatars, the mental attacks were taken on by the tens of thousands of people, leaving Adaman unharmed!
"Excellent, it looks like we’re in for a massacre today!"
The cosmic stone greatsword in Long Yi’s hand shone brilliantly as the Giant power surrounded his body. With the Destruction Ripple powering his mighty swing, he broke through Adaman’s strong mana shield, but it was blocked by Adaman’s armor!
At the same time, Ai Lin had caught up; her black armguards also bursting with astonishing mana. Following Long Yi through the broken shield, she punched hard, and Adaman’s armor was blown open with a huge gash! Adaman himself was impaled straight through!
But!
Almost instantly, dozens of people in the stands collapsed with their chests suddenly hollowed out, while Adaman laughed heartily as he swiftly retreated, his golden armor restoring itself!
"Do you see now? Long Yi! Ai Lin! You can’t possibly kill me! My life is infinite! And how long can you maintain your power?"
With that, Adaman waved his hands and numerous arrays appeared in the sky, while the ground was completely filled with dark crystals! A tremendous gravity pressed Long Yi and Ai Lin to the ground!
"Die now! Rain of Darkness!"
This was an immensely amplified version of Darkness Descending, enhancing the original by countless times, or rather, it was as if countless Darkness Descending spells were cast at once! If it were just one person, it would be impossible to release such a spell, but Adaman was currently leveraging the power of his disciples in the stands to cover the entire battlefield with dark crystals!
"Power of Light!"
Long Yi bellowed. To counteract Darkness Descending, the best method was the Power of Light, which could completely neutralize the dark crystals!
Long Yi directly infused the Power of Light into his cosmic stone greatsword, which, amplified by the cosmic stone, transformed into a massive bladelike force that instantly shattered all the surrounding dark crystals.
"Just you?"
Long Yi roared as he charged at full speed. At this moment, with Adaman full of dark power due to his casting, the Power of Light in the cosmic stone greatsword was the bane of the dark power. The cosmic stone greatsword easily sliced through Adaman’s mana shield and plunged into his chest, carrying him along at high speed until they collided with the edge of the arena’s protective shield and came to a halt.
At the same time, people in the stands began to fall, one after the other – slowly at first, then faster and faster! The cosmic stone greatsword kept thrumming destructive vibrations into Adaman’s chest, and this piercing damage continued to transfer to everyone!
"Look up at your disciples; they’re not as infinite as you said!" Long Yi pressed down on the greatsword, shouting.
"Ah!"
Adaman roared furiously, an unprecedented explosion of mana blasting Long Yi away. The wound on his chest immediately healed, his armor restored. But he could feel that his disciples affected by the spell had diminished by over ten thousand in that instant!
If this continued, those present wouldn’t last!
The spell would automatically transfer damage based on the severity of Adaman’s injuries. Clearly, that last strike was powerful enough to kill tens of thousands in an instant!
Adaman’s original plan was to use his immortality to wear down Long Yi and Ai Lin, then defeat them with a thunderous blow. After subduing them, he would leave a mark in their souls, making them his slaves. But now it seemed that there wouldn’t be enough disciples left if this continued!
He had to go on the offensive!
Adaman’s armor morphed, becoming even more solid and dense, then he charged directly at Long Yi. He chose Long Yi because Ai Lin, as a Magic Fighter, might not be at a disadvantage if they sparred, whereas Long Yi was different. Though Long Yi understood many combat techniques, they did not include those of a Magic Fighter. According to Adaman’s understanding of Long Yi, he liked to defeat opponents using their own combat style. However, in the few battles he had had with Ai Lin, he never used the Magic Fighter’s combat methods. This meant that Long Yi was actually not adept at fighting a Magic Fighter!
Upon engagement, Adaman immediately felt Long Yi’s discomfort. Most of the time, Long Yi was forced to adopt defensive maneuvers. However, Long Yi’s cosmic stone greatsword was very troublesome, especially those destructive vibrations, which could breach the mana shield with a slight misstep. But wielding the greatsword compromised his agility in combat, particularly when Adaman was trying to gain an advantage by staying close and aggressive, leaving Long Yi hit multiple times.
The struck Long Yi roared, and, casting aside the cosmic stone greatsword, he directly engaged Adaman in close combat!
Seeing Long Yi come at him bare-handed, Adaman laughed. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
