Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Strong Attack (IV)
“Performing your tricks!”
Facing Fang Zheng, who was lunging at him once again, the Destruction Mage roared. He raised his hands, and the blazing Hellfire Flame gathered in his palms. Then, with a swift wave forward, the searing flames erupted and engulfed Fang Zheng entirely.
But in the next moment, the flames began to swell and burst, revealing Fang Zheng once again. However, this time, a circular transparent shield appeared in front of him.
This, of course, seemed trivial to the Destruction Mage. With another gesture, the scattered Hellfire Flames recondensed and transformed into a giant, ferocious beast resembling a lion, roaring as it pounced on its prey.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also raised his right hand.
The invisible psionic force burst out in the blink of an eye. The Destruction Mage only saw the air in front of him twist violently, and the next moment, the beast formed by Hellfire was torn into shreds by the potent invisible force. Seeing this, the Destruction Mage’s eyes widened as he stared intensely at the man before him.
“Is it just a long-range attack? I can do that too,”
A sinister smile curled at the corners of Fang Zheng’s mouth. “Feeling great as an Archmage, aren’t you? How about you experience some psionics?”
Is it just a shootout? I’m not afraid of you! Arthas and Malthael wouldn’t dare to use Kerrigan? Damn it, even if I don’t call upon the Swarm for a Psionic Rush, I’ll still kill you!
With that thought, Fang Zheng didn’t stop his hand movements and condensed another wave of psionic energy, launching it at the Destruction Mage! Facing Fang Zheng’s renewed attack, the Destruction Mage roared again and summoned Hellfire, hurling it forward. Soon, the invisible psionics clashed with Hellfire, exploding on contact.
However, the Destruction Mage did not notice that behind him, a small figure had quietly appeared next to the fragmented statue.
Looking at the statue before her, Nymph furrowed her brows. Just moments ago, she had received an order from Fang Zheng — find a way to destroy this statue, no matter what it was doing; just thoroughly disrupt the ritual!
Now was the moment—seeing that the Destruction Mage’s attention was entirely on Fang Zheng, Nymph quickly extended her hand to the statue and whispered softly.
“Intrusion begins!”
Soon, a faint blue radiance emerged from the palm of Nymph’s hand, gradually spreading inside the statue. However, Nymph’s expression did not lighten; on the contrary, as the intrusion intensified, her complexion grew increasingly pale.
“How could this be, is this meant for… oh no!”
But before Nymph could react, the bizarre Six-Armed Serpent Lord statue suddenly turned its head to stare at her, and then, two beams of green light shot out from its eyes, striking Nymph!
“Aah——!”
“Not good!”
Hearing Nymph’s scream, both the Destruction Mage and Fang Zheng were stunned. They quickly turned towards the source of the sound, only to see the Six-Armed Serpent Lord statue emitting green radiance, with the green light seemingly transforming into a giant python that tightly coiled around Nymph!
“What have you done to the sacred statue!”
“Damn it!”
Shocked by what he saw, Fang Zheng swiftly dashed toward Nymph, leaving a trail of illusions as he moved. Seeing Fang Zheng’s actions, the Destruction Mage hastily summoned Hellfire again and blasted it towards him.
“Don’t you dare get close to the sacred statue!”
“Cut it out!”
Sensing the Hellfire blasting towards him, Fang Zheng clenched his teeth. Then, his right hand flickered with the radiance of a sword, and in the next moment, stone slabs on the ground flew up like dragon scales reversed, forming a rather frail shield in front of the Hellfire. At the same time, Fang Zheng switched back to Arthas’s Soulstone, pointing his sword at Nymph.
Protective Blessing!
With Fang Zheng’s movement, a transparent oval barrier appeared out of thin air, enveloping Nymph. The green snake that had been tightly coiled around the girl was shaken backward by this strong force. However, the green snake seemed unwilling to give up just like that. Instead, it hissed and lunged at the Little Angel again, but was blocked outside by the seemingly transparent and fragile barrier.
“Get lost!”
At the same time, Fang Zheng also reached Nymph’s side, and without hesitation, he chopped down at the green creature with his longsword. Sensing the Power of the Holy Light on Fang Zheng’s longsword, the creature let out an angry cry, then retreated back into the statue.
“I’m sorry, Master…”
“Are you okay, are you hurt?”
“No, Master, thank you… But I’ve just discovered how this statue works, please be careful, Master. This statue is just a pointer, its real function is…”
“Boom!”
But Nymph hadn’t finished her sentence when the originally battered statue suddenly exploded. Right after that, Fang Zheng saw the green, eerie snake that had escaped from the statue reappear and lunge at the following Destruction Mage. Instead of showing any hint of panic, the Destruction Mage watched the green creature approach, his face breaking into an irrepressible smile.
“Finally, my Doomsday has come! My Lord, please make full use of my body!”
Before Fang Zheng could react, he saw the creature climb onto the Destruction Mage and then it actually burrowed directly into his mouth!
Gosh, that’s disgusting!
Although inwardly disgusted, Fang Zheng’s actions didn’t stop. Almost simultaneously as the snake burrowed into the Destruction Mage’s mouth, he had already reappeared in front of the mage, his Sky-Cleaving Sword raised high, its Holy Light shining ever brighter.
Judgment of the Templar!
The silvery light of the sword seemed to tear apart the world; even in the pitch-black wilderness, it lit up the surroundings with bursting Holy Light. To Fang Zheng, this thunder-like strike should have been enough to completely annihilate his enemy.
But, he had not managed to strike true.
The blade of the Sky-Cleaving Sword stopped mid-air, the Destruction Mage reached out his right hand, blocking this nearly unstoppable sword. He lifted his head, staring coldly at Fang Zheng, then suddenly bared his teeth in a fierce grin. Meanwhile, Fang Zheng saw sparks of fire flash across the Destruction Mage’s eyes.
Not good!
Acting entirely on an instinct honed by being killed hundreds of times in the Black Soul World, Fang Zheng quickly retracted his sword and retreated, grabbing Nymph and holding her close as he quickly rolled backward. At the same time, the body of the Destruction Mage completely exploded.
“Roarrrrrr—”
At this moment, it seemed as if even the earth was trembling, the huge flames that erupted engulfed the entire altar, and the rising mushroom cloud was a sight to behold. Fang Zheng even felt his ears buzzing; luckily, his body had been modified by the Swarm, otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
This damn bastard, always self-detonating without a word, what exactly is he trying to do?
While inwardly cursing, Fang Zheng looked up, then his eyes widened in surprise.
At the altar, where the Destruction Mage had once been, there was now no trace of him. Instead, a creature stood two meters tall, with a female upper body and a serpent lower body. She had six arms, each holding various types of weapons like swords and shields, and at that moment, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord simply stared coldly at Fang Zheng and Nymph, silent.
Could this be Bella, the Six-Armed Serpent Lord?
