Volume 2: Empire Chapter 214: Knocked Down with One Punch
The factory ban was lifted, and the Celtic Duke was about to take Tedega Hills on the path he had once opposed. He knew that this path was difficult to take, not only did he have to suppress the opposition from the barbarians, but he also had to think about how to prevent the human race from getting out of control.
But he has no choice, if he doesn't change he will really be eliminated.
Luke stayed in the Duke's Castle, waiting to leave the Holy Mountain tomorrow with the Duke's Crown and embark on the journey back to Raging Waves City.
He knew that tomorrow would definitely not be a peaceful day in the Holy Mountain. Even if he didn't go out to investigate, he could feel that the entire Duke's Castle was preparing for battle. There were footsteps coming and going outside the door, and the sound of armor colliding everywhere.
The sense of crisis that he would be controlled made the Duke of Celtic never allow the abyss to descend. This direct collision would bring the contradiction between the Duke's Castle and the Abyss Temple to the surface. Will the Abyss Apostles continue to promote the abyss's arrival, or choose to avoid it...
Luke is looking forward to tomorrow.
Ding ding ding...
After a rhythmic knock on the door, a note was stuffed in from the gap under the door.
Luke picked up the note, opened the door, and closed it again after checking that there was no one outside. Then he waved his hand to close the window, and all the lights in the room went out at the same time.
Fire came out from the palm of his hand, and as the paper burned, a fluorescent code appeared in the darkness.
"The wizard has been successfully rescued without alerting the prison guards. The location of the Abyssal Weapon Manufacturing Point has been determined."
Very good, very good.
Luke prepared to have a good sleep and wait for the new day to come.
Imperial Saint-Lun City.
The collision of magic and combat skills created giant fireworks in the sky above the imperial palace. Their colorful shapes and brilliant light were enough to compete with the stars in the sky.
The first Holy Scripture Theresa showed her strongest form. Her wings were all transformed into metal under the divine art released by the ancient angel language. Each feather was a sharp silver feather sword, and a layer of white holy flame was attached to the outer edge of the feather sword.
A child-like angel of light flew out of the holy book. She floated beside Theresa, holding the holy book in both hands and reciting the spells included in the holy book aloud.
Layer after layer of powerful buffs were released on Theresa's body, making her surrounded by layers of dazzling light.
The wings spread out, and countless feather swords flew up, forming a metal storm that swept towards the clear sky. The holy flames that spewed out from the holy book gathered into a flaming lion, and pounced towards the clear sky with a roar.
Theresa was even faster. She changed her position and flashed in the airtight attack, and when she found an opportunity, she would launch a torrential attack.
Qingkong did not use the ancient golden language, nor did she use the angel's skills. She held the Stardust in both hands, unfolded the Ice Dance Garden, and brought her most specialized ice to the extreme.
The swirling snow and ice collided with the metal feather arrows that rushed in like a tide; the summoned ice giant resisted the flaming lion. Qingkong glided on the ice, his posture as graceful as a professional figure skater. In this domain belonging to Qingkong, Theresa's attack was like the holy fire she released hitting the extremely cold iceberg.
The holy flame melts the ice into water, and the water condenses into ice again.
It was just a simple contest of energy, and Theresa didn't gain any advantage at all.
She couldn't understand how an elf could have such an unfathomable energy reserve. She used the ancient angel language to borrow the power of the artifact, but she couldn't suppress the surging energy output of the clear sky.
How did she do it?
The more she fought, the more shocked Theresa became. Her mentality gradually changed from winning to not losing. She pulled up to a flying height, and changed from close combat to using the advantage of flying to carry out long-range magic bombing.
The feather swords continued to sweep across, and the holy hammers of judgment fell one by one from high in the sky towards the clear sky.
The ground barrier was shaken violently by the impact, and cracks appeared, which were then repaired in time by magic.
Qingkong looked up at Theresa who was flying into the air.
Do you think the duel will stop if you destroy the barrier and threaten the safety of the palace?
The Ice Lake Garden expanded again, covering the entire duel field barrier area with a layer of ice. The ice surface was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the starry sky on this mirror.
The clear sky stopped and stood on the moon shadow.
A glowing holy hammer of justice fell from the sky, spinning and smashing down into the clear sky.
Qingkong looked up at Theresa flying under the starry sky and said with a smile: "Do you know why I am called the Moonlight Queen?"
The sound was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to Theresa. Theresa realized that something was wrong, but she didn't know where the sudden sense of crisis came from.
She looked at the clear sky, and also saw the starry sky and the moon shadow under the clear sky. She turned her head and saw the full moon in the sky right behind her.
When the Holy Hammer of Justice was about to hit Qingkong, it stopped in front of her. Qingkong continued, "Reverse time and space! This is a skill I just learned. I hope you enjoy it."
After saying that, the Holy Hammer of Judgment in front of Qingkong flew backwards, aiming directly at Theresa in the air.
Theresa spread her wings to elevate herself to avoid the attack, but her body was falling downwards. She tried her best to adjust her posture, but found that no matter how she moved, her body was moving in the opposite direction.
The flying Holy Hammer of Judgment hit Theresa's head hard. She rolled several times in the air and finally stabilized her body.
“You’re just changing the direction of movement? Queen of the Clear Sky…” Theresa, who was flying in the air again, said mockingly, “For me, this increase in difficulty is almost nothing.”
To go forward is to go backward, and to fall is to rise.
Theresa felt that she could break the spell by moving in the opposite direction. To prove her point, she even performed a fancy flying move, which was smooth and unaffected by any changes in time and space.
Qingkong looked at Theresa and said, "Since you think the difficulty is low, I will increase it for you!"
There were subtle changes in the space.
Theresa tried to fly forward using the same method as before, but ended up flying to the left. Before Theresa could make adjustments, her direction of movement turned to falling again.
Theresa now felt dizzy. The two starry skies kept changing positions around her . She couldn't tell which was the real starry sky and which was the reflected starry sky.
Theresa felt herself hit a hard surface with a bang. She completely lost her sense of direction and tried to get up, but failed after many attempts.
She raised her head with difficulty, and the dizziness caused multiple images to appear in front of her eyes. She saw a clear sky in some of the images, she put away the knife, clenched her fist, and blew a breath on her fist.
Then he punched him.
Theresa fell on her back.
It’s not like I haven’t been defeated before, but this is the first time I’ve been humiliated like this…
