"Jennifer, Gray and I will hold him back here. Take the others and stop him from breaking through!"
The situation was very urgent, and there was no room for discussion. Difoni Violet quickly made a decision.
"Understood."
Jennifer Austin nodded solemnly and said to the other King-level powerhouses except for Difoni Violet and Gray.
"There's a change in the situation. Follow me!"
Then, she took the lead and ran in the direction of the aura. All the King-level powerhouses followed her, turning into phantoms as they dashed away.
"Stay here!"
Facing the siege of Gray and the others, Derek, who had not been anxious from beginning to end, showed some anxiety on his face. The white cold air turned into a churning sea of fog, intercepting Jennifer Austin and the others while he chased after them.
"Take care of yourself first!"
Gray and Difoni Violet both snorted coldly.
Gray swung his long sword, and a large amount of dark green fog appeared with him as the center, turning into a dark green sea of fog, blocking the white sea of fog with a scale no less than the white sea of fog.
Chi chi!
The white sea of fog and the dark green sea of fog collided with each other. The scene was extremely spectacular, as if two clouds in the sky moving in opposite directions had collided together.
There was a sizzling sound at the point of collision, and then they destroyed each other and quickly disappeared. The ground near them was filled with ice, and traces of corrosion could be seen everywhere.
Difoni Violet slashed out a long purple flame wall, blocking Derek's path, separating Derek from Jennifer Austin and the others.
With the purple flame wall blocking his path, Derek's face showed anger. He swung his battle sword, and immediately split the purple flame wall in half. Then, he quickly chased after Jennifer Austin and the others.
At this moment, a dark green giant sword several meters long, with a terrifying power that could split a mountain in half, came slashing toward him.
This was not a metaphor, but a fact. After going berserk, Gray, whose combat strength had reached the level of Magic Light, did indeed have the combat strength to split a mountain in half with one slash.
"Scram!"
The anger on Derrick's face became even more apparent. He attacked in anger. Because the speed of the saber was too fast, it only left a faint trace in the air as it slashed from left to right.
Clang!
The dark green longsword collided with the white saber, producing the sound of metal clashing. Cracks spread out from the surrounding ground under the sound of the collision. Then, the ground was quickly corroded by the dark green mist, and a layer of ice was attached to it by the white cold air.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Gray suffered a great loss. His body was unsteady as he retreated backwards. The ground that had been frozen into ice cracked under his feet.
The power of Derrick's slash was beyond imagination, far surpassing the power of the white mist from before. This kind of power had already surpassed the power of ordinary Magic Light!
"His strength has also reached the peak of the same realm!"
Gray's pupils shrank slightly, and the seriousness in his eyes became even more intense.
Previously, because he had the advantage of numbers, he had been attacking from a distance without engaging in close combat. Thus, he did not notice, or rather, give Derrick a chance to use it. Now, in order to intercept Derrick, he was forced to engage in close combat, and finally gave Derrick a chance to use it.
The blood technique that Derrick cultivated not only reached the peak of the same realm as Blair Blaze in terms of speed, but also reached the peak of the same realm in terms of strength. Simply speaking, Derrick's strength alone was enough to contend against ordinary Magic Light warriors.
"Careful!"
Suddenly, Difoni Violet shouted a warning. Derrick stomped on the ground, and countless cracks appeared on the frozen ground. His body seemed to have teleported as he caught up to the unsteady Gray. His saber, suffused with cold air, turned into a wisp of misty white light, and slashed at Gray's chest.
Boom!
With a sound like a landslide or a tsunami, extreme strength and coldness exploded on Gray's chest.
Gray's black armor blocked Blair Blaze's Magic Light attack the last time. It also blocked this attack without any damage, but it was inevitable that part of the power passed through the armor and was transmitted to Gray's body.
"Hmm …?"
Gray's muscles tensed, and he was prepared to withstand the strong impact and terrifying coldness. But in the next moment, he felt something unexpected. The impact and coldness transmitted through the armor to his body were abnormally weak, and he easily withstood it.
No, it was not that the impact and coldness transmitted through the armor was weak, but that his current defense was abnormally strong. He did not even feel much, and he had already withstood the impact and coldness.
"The effect of the alloy ability!"
Gray's eyes lit up. The reason for this situation was obvious. The only difference between this time and the last time he fought Blair Blaze was that his metallization ability and Gem Petrification ability had combined to form an alloy ability.
And it was this alloy ability's strong defense that allowed him to withstand the opponent's attack that was more powerful than Blair Blaze's.
"How can his defense be … so strong?"
Derrick felt that his saber was like a stone sinking into the sea. It did not hurt Gray at all, and it did not even repel Gray. It did not affect Gray in the slightest. Derrick was shocked.
The strength and speed of the blood technique that he cultivated had reached the peak of the same realm. The destructive power of his strength alone was enough to contend with those of the same realm. The combination of his strength and the blood beast ability was even more powerful than those of the same realm. But such a powerful attack did not affect his opponent in the slightest.
Although he was surprised by the alloy ability's strong defense, Gray naturally would not be distracted in battle. After withstanding Derrick's attack, he immediately slashed at Derrick with his sword.
Whoosh!
The dark green longsword was like a flash of green light as it slashed at Derrick's waist, intending to cut Derrick in two.
Although he was shocked by Gray's strong defense, as a Magic Light warrior, Derrick naturally would not be distracted. After his attack failed to hurt Gray, he had already retreated. But he was now too close to Gray, so close that Gray could casually slash him with his sword.
Pu!
A neat cut appeared on Derrick's clothes, and a deep wound appeared on his waist. Blood spilled out, and a trace of dark green could be faintly seen.
He had been poisoned by Gray's blood beast ability. Of course, with the opponent's strong body as a Magic Light warrior, the poison would not affect him in a short period of time.
Whoosh!
This was not the end. Difoni Violet swung her sword, and purple flames with terrifying heat fell from the sky like a meteorite burning with purple flames, crashing towards him.
He quickly dodged to the side, but his body was a little unbalanced under Gray's sword just now, and could not immediately adjust. Although he tried his best to dodge, he still could not avoid it.
Tch —
The purple flames brushed past his back and spread all the way forward, leaving behind a river of magma. On his back, his clothes were burned, and a burn appeared.
"How can his defense be so strong, is it because of the armor on his body?"
Feeling the numbing pain on his waist and the burning pain on his back, Derrick's expression finally became serious, and he no longer had any thoughts of intercepting Jennifer Austin and the others.
This was because he realized that his current situation was also very bad. If he was not careful, it was very likely that he would be like Blair Blaze, who he ridiculed as the disgrace of Magic Light. He would be killed by these two people in front of him who were obviously not Magic Light. In that case, even if he died, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"Someone's coming!"
Jennifer Austin and the others who rushed towards the aura were immediately noticed by Meryl and Faust. Sensing that there were quite a number of people, the two of them became serious and rushed out of the courtyard, taking the initiative to greet Jennifer Austin and the others.
A golden blade floated in the air in front of Meryl, releasing streaks of golden shadows that attacked.
Dark green mist appeared in front of Faust, turning into spears made of dark green mist that pierced through the air.
Boom, boom, boom!
Facing the area of effect attacks, Jennifer Austin and the others who were rushing towards the aura could not help but stop. They either dodged or blocked the incoming attacks.
In the sky, fireworks of various colors continued to sound, illuminating the night sky as if it was daytime.
"Leave two people behind them. The rest of you, follow me and attack. Be careful, both of them are thrice-metamorphosis kings!"
Jennifer Austin ordered as she tore apart the incoming attacks with an axe.
Whoosh!
As she spoke, she slashed down with the crystal-like axe in her hand. The dirt-yellow light turned into a giant blade, leaving a deep trench in the ground as it attacked Meryl.
Facing an attack from a thrice-metamorphosis king, Meryl did not dare to be careless. The golden blade in front of her stopped its golden shadows and turned into a streak of golden light, meeting the dirt-yellow light head-on.
Boom!
The dirt-yellow light exploded, and the golden blade also shot back, returning to Meryl's side. This was clearly the first test between the two. In the next moment, the dirt-yellow light and the golden blade attacked again, clashing once more.
The two attacks collided again and again. As thrice-metamorphosis kings, neither of them dared to be careless, because carelessness would only lead to death.
On the other side, eight kings surrounded Faust. The abilities of the blood beasts merged together, forming a chaotic but orderly attack. They attacked Faust and clashed with his attack.
Boom, boom, boom!
Although none of them were thrice-metamorphosis kings, there were eight of them. There was no lack of twice-metamorphosis kings among them. They successfully blocked Faust's attack and held him back.
Whoosh, whoosh!
The two thrice-metamorphosis kings of the fifth faction were blocked. The remaining two kings of the Purple Moon Kingdom and the Jewel Kingdom began to move. They circled around the battlefield and went straight for the courtyard where the aura came from.
