Chapter 1629: Miss This Chance, Lose the Opportunity
In an instant, Agares transformed into a black phantom, with only raven eyes shaped like an inverted V emerging from his body, rushing towards the attacking demon soldiers, penetrating their bodies.
The speed of the demon soldiers instantly slowed down, and their pupils also turned into an eerie inverted V, flashing red continuously.
They had been briefly controlled by Agares.
The black ravens not only attacked the demon soldiers leaping out of the sea but also dove beneath the water’s surface to attack the demon soldiers hiding below.
Stepping on the back of a crocodile, dodging the first wave of attacks, Agares raised his Magic Wand and aimed the magic at all the nearby demon soldiers:
"[Flash Thunder]!"
The Electric Magic, without any special effects, rapidly shot out from Agares’s Magic Wand, spreading all around. All the water-element demon soldiers present were electrocuted, rolling their eyes and drifting with the waves.
The crocodile beneath Agares quickly shrank, transforming into a silver pedestal inlaid with gemstones.
The damage inflicted on the crocodile by Black Diamond Lorne and his Steel Clan only left shallow marks on the silvery-white pedestal.
The Steel Clan relentlessly launched attacks one after another.
The silvery-white pedestal carried Agares away from the sea, moving rapidly left and right in the air, dodging the incoming steel spikes.
Facing the high-defense, high-level Steel Clan, Agares didn’t have many ways to deal with them.
He could only wait for his energy to recover to release the Transfer Skill while dodging their attacks, waiting for Yongfang Chunlan in the sky to weave a suitable magic to entrap Black Diamond Lorne.
Only then could he create a large Transfer Magic to move this Four Heavenly Kings, known as the Demon King’s "Strongest Shield," away.
Agares had already chosen the transfer location and made minor adjustments based on Lilith’s intelligence using small demons.
The next events were bound to be interesting.
The only thing Agares hoped was that this battle wouldn’t drag on too long, causing him to miss the opportunity.
After all, once this chance was gone, it wouldn’t come again.
Yongfang Chunlan in the sky also wanted to end this battle quickly, only...
One of the Four Heavenly Kings wasn’t hard to deal with, but Black Diamond Lorne had brought so many of his clan members, making his defense and attack nearly flawless.
Fortunately, the "Quenching" that Yongfang Chunlan used earlier was still effective, making it difficult for many in the Steel Clan to quickly shape the steel fragments they separated from themselves.
This was enough for Yongfang Chunlan to find an opportunity!
Black Diamond Lorne repeatedly launched strong control moves, and Yongfang Chunlan either used her own magic or her ample reserves to withstand several controls, evading numerous damages.
During repeated defenses, Yongfang Chunlan found opportunities to counterattack, using wide-range Lightning Magic or Frozen Magic to blast Black Diamond Lorne and the Steel Clan behind him.
The Steel Clan tried to use the separated steel fragments for defense, but because they struggled to quickly shape their steel fragments into the desired forms, Yongfang Chunlan’s attacks repeatedly penetrated their defenses, striking their bodies.
As the saying goes, "dripping water can penetrate stone."
Yongfang Chunlan’s attacks were the same; when releasing those large control magics, she manipulated the magic power of the spell.
In short, when Yongfang Chunlan’s magic power hit the bodies of the Steel Clan, if the amount wasn’t enough, it wouldn’t take effect immediately but would turn into a thin film, adhering to them.
Once the magic power accumulated on them reached a certain level, Yongfang Chunlan could detonate it all at once, exerting strong control over them.
Facing Black Diamond Lorne, Yongfang Chunlan always detonated the control magic accumulated on him first, so Black Diamond Lorne never realized that Yongfang Chunlan’s magic attacks weren’t primarily targeting him but the Steel Clan flying around him.
Did Black Diamond Lorne really not notice anything strange?
The answer is no; Black Diamond Lorne had long sensed Yongfang Chunlan’s unusual behavior, knowing she must be plotting something.
However, the possible strategies Yongfang Chunlan might use were too numerous, and if he had to guard against every possibility, he’d become completely constrained, wasting opportunities that could have decided victory.
Before Black Diamond Lorne could select the most likely scenarios to guard against, Yongfang Chunlan began detonating the magic power on each Steel Clan member.
In an instant, the Steel Clan following Black Diamond Lorne, either had currents rapidly coursing over their bodies, turning into a net entangling them tightly, or had large chunks of heavy ice crystals growing on them, slowly freezing their bodies, scattering white ice mist in the air.
Realizing something was wrong, the Steel Clan immediately tried to deal with the anomalies on themselves.
Yongfang Chunlan waved her Zen Stick, countless hand-sized Magic Arrays intertwining to form a flower bud.
This Magic Flower Bud was larger than the previous ones.
Last time, Yongfang Chunlan had deliberately concealed half of her strength for this moment!
Just to give this battle a definitive ending!
Gently twisting the Zen Stick, the silver-white flower bud magic arrays rotated and bloomed, countless blue-violet rays of light turned into millions of coiling noodles, dispersing in the air, forming countless violent Magic Turbulences, engulfing half of the sky.
Black Diamond Lorne rapidly formed the surrounding steel fragments into one small sphere after another around him, stabilizing the magic power around him, allowing him to continue using the surrounding magic power to support his massive body in the air.
In the Steel Giant Dragon form, Black Diamond Lorne was extremely heavy, and supporting him required an astronomical amount of magic power.
Even if Black Diamond Lorne supplemented this deficit with his own magic power, he couldn’t sustain it for long.
Such powerful Magic Turbulences meant that anyone attempting to fly, even a high-level Magician, would have to reconsider, not to mention that not everyone in the Steel Clan was adept at magic.
Countless Steel Clan members, along with their Steel Creations, plunged into the sea, splashing white waves.
For them to rise from the sea and rejoin the battle would likely take a considerable amount of time.
A few Steel Clan members managed to stabilize their bodies in the air and didn’t fall into the sea with their kin, but they lost numerous steel fragments, reducing their strength.
Yet, as long as they were in the air, they could surely assist Black Diamond Lorne and find an opportunity to capture this woman completely.
What these Steel Clan members didn’t know was that as they relaxed, believing they could remain airborne, some fake steel fragments had already mingled around them.
Agares had replenished his energy for Transfer Magic, enabling him to once again demonstrate his unique skill in maneuvering mid-air, showcasing his troublesome presence.
