Chapter 1680: Chapter 203 Sheng Xie Goes to Battle_2
The priests of the Church had exhausted a great deal of magic power using forbidden curses earlier, and the Pope had just awakened to the changes in the sky. Now he could barely lead the priests in casting the support magic of Divine Blessing for the human Allied Forces. The appearance of Sheng Xie rekindled his hope. He knew that although the blood sun and blood rain had appeared, opening the Demon Realm Entrance would still take some time. If they could destroy the array of the Church of the Dark Saint during this time, they could prevent the invasion of the Demon Realm. Thinking of this, his spirits were lifted, and even his magic power seemed to recover somewhat. Leading the priests, he followed behind the human Allied Forces, quickly ascending to the summit of the Death Mountain Range. Ah Dai and Xuan Yue soon caught up with the Pope. Having seen the Pope unconscious earlier, Ah Dai asked with concern, "Grandpa, how’s your health? Can you still hold on?"
The Pope resolutely said, "Don’t worry about me. Even if I die in this Death Mountain Range, I won’t let the dark forces succeed. You don’t need to worry about me. Go ahead; the Allied Forces need someone to command them. Here, Ah Dai, take this." As he spoke, he handed Ah Dai a small porcelain vial. The white porcelain vial was adorned with a golden six-pointed star pattern of magic. Ah Dai paused and asked, "Grandpa, what is this?" The Pope sighed softly and said, "This is an elixir passed down from the early days of the Church, said to restore and even enhance a martial artist’s skills in the shortest time. Take it quickly; I prepared it especially for you."
Ah Dai felt warmth in his heart, gripping the porcelain vial tightly. He asked, "Grandpa, is this ineffective for you?"
The Pope shook his head and said, "It has no effect on magicians and priests. Hurry and take it; you are the mainstay of the entire Allied Forces, and we need you to lead to achieve the final victory."
Ah Dai knew this was not the time for politeness. He opened the vial, and a refreshing fragrance wafted up to him, instantly clearing his mind. He glanced at Xuan Yue beside him, and then threw the elixir into his mouth. As it entered, it melted into a sweet liquid flowing down his throat, accompanied by a warm current entering his stomach. After consuming the elixir, Ah Dai realized he had been tricked by the Pope. This elixir wasn’t only beneficial for martial arts; under its influence, his spiritual power was also increasing to an unprecedented level. When the warm current spread throughout his body, he was astonished to find that his power had completely recovered, even surpassed. The surging combat energy filled him with strength.
Ah Dai’s eyes reddened, and he choked up slightly, saying, "Grandpa, why do you go through so much trouble?"
The Pope smiled gently and said, "Silly child, this should have been yours to take! Don’t forget, you are the Savior of the continent. Don’t say more; the Allied Forces need you, hurry up and go. My magic power recovers much faster than a normal magician’s. Maybe by the time we reach the mountain top, I’ll be fully recovered. Remember, never show mercy to the enemy. Right now, the most important thing for us is time. Go now. Whether we can stop the Church of the Dark Saint depends on you."
Ah Dai nodded solemnly, bowed deeply to the Pope, took Xuan Yue’s hand, and flew quickly toward the summit of the Death Mountain Range. Watching them leave, the Pope revealed a heartfelt smile and murmured, "Children, do your best! Humanity’s future depends on you."
The Allied Forces embarked on their ascent to the main peak, while the Evil Dragon Heralbink and Sheng Xie remained locked in a standoff, neither of them speaking, continuously accumulating their energy, preparing to deliver a thunderous blow to each other. In terms of raw power, the two dragons were originally evenly matched. However, Heralbink had suffered significant injuries earlier at the hands of Ah Dai and the Church’s priests working together and couldn’t recover immediately. Sheng Xie had just completely absorbed the Dragon Soul, empowering himself but unable to fully master his strength, placing them back on equal footing.
Heralbink spread his six wings wide, the dark blue light continuously flashing and converging onto the giant horn on his head. Meanwhile, the seven-pointed horns behind Sheng Xie were also gathering energy. His current power had surpassed the realm of the Dragon King and even exceeded the Dragon God that Ah Dai once summoned. Sheng Xie continued chanting the dragon incantations of the Dragon King’s lineage, continuously condensing immense Holy Power.
Unable to withstand the stillness in the air, Heralbink’s purple eyes flashed with a cold gleam. With a loud roar, a jet-black beam shot from his horn straight at Sheng Xie’s large head. Sheng Xie had also completed his incantation. With his current prowess, casting the dragon incantation felt effortless. Seven golden beams converged in midair, meeting Heralbink’s attack head-on.
Even in the Divine and Demonic realms, the prowess of Evil Dragon Heralbink and Sheng Xie was exceptionally outstanding. Their all-out clash immediately caused a tremendous uproar. In the violent collision, the two colossal dragon bodies were thrown back, emitting massive shockwaves. Heralbink feared that the shockwave would affect the Church of the Dark Saint on the main peak and their efforts to open the Demon Realm Entrance, while Sheng Xie was concerned the shockwave might harm Ah Dai and the human Allied Forces. Thus, in their mutual attacks, they both managed to avoid the shockwave extending to the top of the Death Mountain Range. The other peaks weren’t as fortunate; under the impact of the powerful collision, dozens of surrounding peaks underwent a series of explosions. For a moment, countless clouds of smoke rose in the center of the Death Mountain Range, as if the earth itself were trembling.
