"Wind Blade Slash!"
Isabella made the first move.
With a flick of her wrist, she swung the Staff of the Wind God down, unleashing three arc-shaped wind blades that pierced the air like crescent moons, slashing towards Sazar with a piercing shriek.
Wherever the wind blade passed, the air was torn apart, turning into visible blue cracks.
Sazar sneered and lightly tapped the void with his bone staff: "Shadow Barrier!"
In an instant, thick, inky shadows surged from the black robe, condensing into a triangular shield in front of him.
The wind blades collided with the shield, unleashing a thunderous explosion. The azure light and black mist clashed violently, and the energy shockwaves shredded the surrounding clouds into fragments.
The Shadow Barrier was incredibly resilient, effectively neutralizing the two wind blades layer by layer. Although the third wind blade tore a crack in the ground, it failed to penetrate.
"It's just a death throes."
Sazar's voice was hoarse like rotten wood, and he raised his hand to deliver a "Death Shackles" strike.
Shadow chains shot out from the void, coiling around Isabella's ankle like venomous snakes. Wherever the chains passed, the space was stained with corrosive black spots.
Isabella flashed, activating the Wind Shadow Step, leaving a trail of afterimages in her wake.
The chains flashed past, and she instantly teleported fifty meters above Sazar's head. The Staff of the Wind God swung violently, and the blue orb of light gathered at the tip of the staff exploded with a roar: "Whirlwind Pierce!"
The ball of light exploded, transforming into a spiraling column of wind that, carrying a force capable of tearing everything apart, pierced straight into Sazar's crown chakra.
Sazar was prepared; he swept his bone staff across the room, unleashing a rain of shadow arrows.
Six shadow arrows shot out in a fan shape, colliding with the pillar of wind, and black light and blue light intertwined in the void to form a web of death.
The wind column was weakened layer by layer, and finally dissipated three meters above Sazar's head, leaving only a weak gust of air that brushed past his shield.
Sazar suddenly stepped forward, and a dark purple light shone from the tip of his bone staff: "Touch of Annihilation!"
A beam of dark purple light shot out, ignoring spatial distance, and instantly arrived at Isabella's chest. The annihilation power carried by the beam caused the spell to deflect and fail, and her shield value plummeted by 910 points.
Isabella let out a muffled groan, her body being forced back nearly fifty meters.
She glanced down at the slowly spreading crack on the shield's surface; the dent on the shield gleamed with a pale golden light.
Without pausing, she swung her staff horizontally as she retreated, instantly activating 【Wind Flow】. A faint blue halo appeared on the surface of the shield, the shield value began to recharge, and the edges of the cracks were filled back in.
"It's my turn!"
Isabella steadied herself, raised her staff high, and a rapidly spinning cyan vortex condensed at the tip of the staff.
The power of the Sky Singer erupts in full force: "Eye of the Storm!"
Using her staff as an axis, she spun in mid-air, instantly creating a hundred-meter-high azure tornado around her.
At the center of the tornado, countless wind blades poured down like a torrential rain, each carrying a blue storm capable of cutting through everything, crashing fiercely into Sazar.
Sazar's expression changed slightly, and he wildly brandished his bone staff: "Bone Frenzy!"
Countless skeletons emerged from the void, transforming into bone spears, bone walls, and bone shields, overwhelming the blue tornado.
The wind blades, like the scythe of death, turned bones to dust wherever they passed, finally striking Sazar's Shadow Barrier with devastating force.
"Crack!" The Shadow Barrier cracked with a crisp sound. The wind blade, still powerful, struck Sazar's golden shield. The spell deflection failed again, and the shield value plummeted by 920 points.
After being knocked back dozens of meters, Sazar regained his footing and waved his staff—【Bone Regeneration】, gray energy surged from the tip of the staff, restoring 912 health points.
When [N O V E L I G H T] the golden set effect is triggered, excess health is instantly converted into shield value, and the originally cracked shield suddenly solidifies.
The two locked eyes, their killing intent intensifying. High above, the battle between wind and shadow erupted once more!
...
Above the sky, the deep purple clouds were forcibly torn open by two opposing figures, and pale sunlight poured down from the crack.
Lin Feng hovered a thousand meters above the clouds, the Wildfire Spear held horizontally beside him, the flame crystal at the tip of the spear reflecting a cold, sharp light under the sunlight.
Opposite him stood the Undead King Hel Shadow, stepping through thick black mist, with nine golden halos slowly rotating around him, radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.
Without any verbal probing, Hel launched the first attack.
Three shadow arrows shot out in a triangular formation, their extreme firing rate of three per second ensuring that the arrows arrived almost simultaneously, sealing off all of Lin Feng's escape routes.
Instead of retreating, Lin Feng advanced, sweeping his Wildfire Spear horizontally. The spear drew a perfect golden arc in front of him, and the Shadow Arrow struck the spear, exploding into three thick clouds of black mist.
Before the black mist had even dissipated, Hel's second wave of attacks had already arrived.
The crystal at the tip of the bone staff in his hand flashed wildly, and six shadow arrows shot out in a fan shape, blocking all of Lin Feng's evasive angles.
Immediately afterwards, Hel made a fist with his left hand, and a dark gray death ripple exploded outward from him!
Within a radius of fifty meters, shadow damage, accompanied by a strong knockback effect, sweeps in, plunging those hit into the abyss of "life decay," losing 1% of their maximum health per second for six seconds.
The purple clouds beneath their feet were pressed into a huge dent by this terrifying force.
The two skills were almost seamlessly connected. Hel gave Lin Feng no chance to catch his breath or find an opening, and instead intended to crush this human powerhouse with concentrated firepower.
Faced with this overwhelming offensive, Lin Feng's feet flashed with golden light, and he activated 【Meteor Flash】, instantly pulling his body a hundred meters to the side, avoiding all the death ripples and arrow rain.
In the instant he dodged the killing blow, Lin Feng gripped the Wildfire Spear in his backhand, and three 【Blazing Spear Rays】 tore through the air, heading straight for Hel.
Hel shifted his body slightly, and several faint cracks appeared on the surface of the shield.
Without pausing for a moment, Lin Feng took advantage of the moment the spear's edge was deflected and rushed forward like an arrow to within five meters of Hel.
The Wildfire Spear thrust three times in quick succession, the tip of the spear drawing three dark red, deadly arcs, locking onto Hel's face, chest, and side respectively.
Hel reacted with lightning speed, his bone staff drawing a dark arc in front of him—【Veil of the Dead】!
A black curtain with a radius of eighty meters unfolded out of thin air, enveloping the two of them simultaneously.
Inside the curtain, all of Lin Feng's damage was forcibly reduced by 20%.
At the same time, Hel activated 【Elemental Unity】, his whole body glowing with golden light, and his shield gained a terrifying damage reduction effect equal to his total defense.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"
The first two thrusts struck the curtain and shield, weakening them layer by layer. The spear tip sank into the pale golden light membrane, triggering the spell deflection effect again. The spear was forcibly slid away, taking away only a small amount of shield value.
Although the last shot barely hit, under the double damage reduction, even though Lin Feng triggered the combo damage increase and dealt a theoretical damage of up to 1450 points, it was ultimately reduced to only 360 points of actual damage.
His Bloodthirst skill, 【Bloodthirst】, only absorbed 72 points of health.
However, Lin Feng's attack was not without purpose.
The effects of 【Wildfire Erosion】 also take effect, and a dark red burn mark appears on Hel's shield, forcibly reducing her attack power by 30% for 10 seconds.
