Chapter 1716: Pain! So Painful!
The Holy Light from Iyas wrapped around her in advance, quickly flowing into Iyas’s body to heal her wounds.
Pain! It was excruciating!
But compared to the previous time, it was much better.
Iyas kept her eyes fixed on Lux, observing the black magic covering his body.
The purple glow under Lux’s helmet flickered continuously, and Iyas’s survival was once again beyond his expectations.
Staring at Iyas’s mutilated left hand, Lux wanted to raise his left hand, deliver a fierce blow to the handle of the Holy Sword, and break through the goddess’s Secret Treasure stuck in Iyas’s chest to slay her completely.
However...
A black Ghost Shadow appeared behind Lux.
In an instant, the Ghost Shadow gradually solidified, and Gao Yuanyi exchanged positions with the shadow he created, moving next to Lux.
"Not fighting with us and aiming at others instead, isn’t it a bit too uninspired? How did you manage to be a hero before?"
The giant mechanical arm gleamed, emitting a subtle and pleasant roar, as Gao Yuanyi gathered all his strength and punched Lux’s Demon King Armor in the chest, instantly knocking Lux several meters away from Iyas.
Yang Yu came from behind, and the large shield quickly contracted inward, forming a small round shield with a transparent brown edge.
Switching [Broken Cocoon Butterfly] from pupal form to a lighter larva form, Yang Yu activated the larva form skill [Wrist Cutting for Life].
He consumed 5% of his maximum life value and 5% magic power to create a shield with 200% of that value, and while the shield sustained, his speed increased by 10%.
Yang Yu, like a meteor, skimmed over countless cubes, closing in on Lux.
A spot of blood red spread from Yang Yu’s chest, cloaking him in a blood-red war garment.
At the same time as activating [Fury Blood], Yang Yu also activated several skills that significantly increased his blood volume limit, indirectly boosting his output.
Just as Lux regained his balance, he saw Yang Yu’s sharp blade piercing from behind.
The cooldown for the Holy Sword’s shield hadn’t completed yet, so Lux could only try to block Yang Yu’s sudden rapid attack.
But could Lux really block it?
The result was obvious.
A red light flashed in Yang Yu’s pupils as his speed further increased, his body creating afterimages as he launched continuous attacks around Lux like a ghost.
For a moment, Lux seemed to see dozens of Yang Yu’s attacking him simultaneously, the sharp sword blades repeatedly striking his Demon King Armor, scraping off its blood volume.
Vast magic power surged from Lux’s feet, spreading a black [Ghost Shadow Formation] around him.
Yang Yu’s speed plummeted abruptly, and huge ghosts burst from the Ghost Shadow Formation, trying to grab Yang Yu’s leg and drag him into the abyss, but their speed of closing their arms couldn’t catch up with Yang Yu’s running speed, failing repeatedly.
In the midst of the "Bam" sounds, Lux could only take a few of Yang Yu’s attacks.
The blood volume of the Demon King Armor rapidly decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Demon King Armor, though possessing strong defense capabilities, requires a long time to self-repair once destroyed.
As long as the Demon King Armor isn’t destroyed, continuously injecting large amounts of magic power while out of combat can refill its blood volume in a short time.
The Demon King Armor is an extremely powerful defensive equipment and is a strong defensive equipment exclusive to the Demon King.
In future confrontations with the goddess and her Favored Clan, this equipment will play a decisive role.
Lux doesn’t want this equipment to fall into self-repair too early, but now is not yet the time to remove it.
The blood volume of the Demon King Armor was suppressed by Yang Yu to below half.
Standing in the center of the array, Lux continuously poured all sorts of large-range magic onto it, trying to stop Yang Yu’s advance.
However, Yang Yu showed no signs of retreat, enduring all the control effects and damage from the large-scale attack magic while continuing his assault.
[Fury Blood] determines damage based on the currently lost life value, the lower Yang Yu’s blood volume, the higher the damage.
Controlling shadows all around Lotcar, Gao Yuanyi glanced back at Iyas and Lotcar, confirming that neither had hit zero life value yet, and tossed two bottles of potions to He Meng, urging He Meng to quickly administer them to the two.
After doing all of this, Gao Yuanyi didn’t act rashly and instead stayed in place, observing Yang Yu and Lux’s battle while protecting the injured safety.
In the sky, the magician released delicate magic light, Bai Jin raised one hand holding the magic wand and shielded his right eye with the other, directing the magic light flying out to accompany Yang Yu on both sides, aiming to protect Yang Yu’s safety.
However, Yang Yu’s speed was too fast, and the magic light Bai Jin released was left behind in almost the blink of an eye.
Unable to do much about it, Bai Jin and the others could only infuse their magic into the ground, striking the [Ghost Shadow Formation] to relieve Yang Yu of the slowing effects, easing his attack burden.
Yet, just after Bai Jin dissolved the [Ghost Shadow Formation] troubling Yang Yu, a new deceleration magic field immediately unfolded, undoing Bai Jin’s previous efforts.
Faced with this, Bai Jin and the rest had to change their strategy.
The saying goes, accelerating oneself is akin to decelerating the enemy, decelerating the enemy is akin to accelerating oneself.
Since Lux kept trying to suppress Yang Yu’s speed, they only needed to find ways to suppress Lux’s speed to ensure Yang Yu had some advantage in this battle.
Without further hesitation, Bai Jin, Tico, and Li Yan combined their efforts to cast a grand Gravity Control magic above Lux, casting a light purple glow, instantly slowing down Lux.
Realizing he couldn’t avoid Yang Yu’s attack, Lux simply abandoned defense again, allowing Yang Yu’s sword blade to rain down on him, continuously pressing his Demon King Armor’s blood volume lower.
Raising the Holy Sword, small exquisite magic arrays formed around Lux.
Once more, Lux aimed his barrel at the closely positioned Iyas and the others. Only by dealing with Yang Yu’s companions first could the rest be tackled subsequently.
Unfortunately, this time Lux’s attack wasn’t as simple and easy as the previous one.
This time, he lacked the strong restriction magic from before, nor was he as far from Yang Yu and Gao Yuanyi.
Unless Lux used the Displacement Skill again, Yang Yu wouldn’t let Lux easily distance himself.
The small magical arrays released numerous bizarre spells, Yang Yu switched [Broken Cocoon Butterfly] into butterfly form, a strange stream of light flashed across the shield.
Activating [Surface Coating], Yang Yu slapped the known attack magic back, subsequently letting numerous spells crash onto his shield with a "Bam".
Yang Yu’s defense wasn’t perfect, but any stragglers could fully be handled by Tico and the others.
Lux had expected Yang Yu to shield his allies, so he mixed some rather powerful control magic within those small magical arrays.
