Chapter 515: The King’s Domain
Jiang Yelan did not answer; her figure had already disappeared from the spot.
The next second, the Shadow Moon Blade was drawn, its blade leaving a cold, black trail in the dimly lit hall.
She activated Shadow Step and appeared without warning a meter behind Severine.
With the initial damage bonus from Shadowstep, the Shadowmoon Blade, imbued with deep shadow energy, pierced straight into Sephlin's back.
Almost simultaneously, Jiang Zhaoyue moved. Her Moon Chasing Wind Boots echoed clearly on the white marble floor, and her Silver Moon Sky Spear transformed into a streak of silver light, heading straight for Seflin's main entrance.
Despite being attacked from both sides, Severine remained unfazed.
She spread her fingers on her left hand, and the amethyst on the Queen's Iron Fist Bracelet suddenly lit up, revealing a semi-transparent dark purple barrier—【King's Domain】—that unfolded around her.
On the surface of the barrier, countless fine runes slowly rotated, radiating a suffocating pressure.
"bite!"
Jiang Yelan's Shadow Moon Blade pierced the barrier, but the tip only penetrated half an inch before it could go no further.
She reacted extremely quickly, decisively drawing her knife and retreating.
At the same time, Jiang Zhaoyue's Silver Moon Spear slammed into the front of the barrier, and a piercing metallic scraping sound exploded, but the barrier remained completely still.
"careful!"
Severine's counterattack came swiftly; she gripped the Night Watcher's Sword in her right hand, and the silvery starlight on the blade suddenly burst forth.
As the Dawn Expedition Boots stepped forward, a golden shockwave exploded on the marble floor.
The Sword of Eternal Night Guardian rose from below, tearing through the air with a silver-white sword aura several meters wide, emitting a sharp, mournful cry.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the hard marble floor was neatly sliced open, the cuts as smooth as a mirror.
Faced with this devastating attack, Jiang Zhaoyue advanced instead of retreating.
The Moon Shadow Charge of the Moon Chasing Wind Boots was activated instantly, and she transformed into a silver streak of light, crashing head-on into the silver-white sword energy.
At the moment of impact, Jiang Zhaoyue's body suddenly stopped, and the charging shield shattered. However, she used the enormous momentum to forcefully break through the edge of the sword energy.
Taking advantage of the momentum, the Silver Moon Spear thrust forward, colliding once again with Severine's Domain of Kings.
Two shots of the Silver Light Cross Slash were fired in quick succession! The first shot was deflected by the barrier, but the second shot dealt 50% more damage and slammed heavily into the barrier, causing the runes to shake.
Jiang Yelan did not waste this fleeting opportunity. She flipped her wrist and the 【Phantom Flying Blade】 flew out of her hand.
The flying blade, imbued with shadow energy, traced a strange arc, bypassing the front and slashing towards the blind spot behind the barrier.
However, Severine didn't even turn around. The cloak of eternal night behind her suddenly unfurled, and black particles from its edges sprayed outwards like a torrential rain.
Jiang Yelan quickly retreated, her toes barely touching the ground, but the density of the spray was too great, and two black particles still grazed her left arm and waist.
She landed about five meters to Lin Feng's right flank, and her health points dropped slightly.
Even more deadly, the black particles that fell on the marble floor immediately took root and sprouted.
In the blink of an eye, countless twisted black thorns sprouted from the cracks in the rocks, spreading wildly with shadow energy. The slowing and continuous damage effects attached to the spikes instantly turned the area around the three into a death swamp.
The ground beneath Jiang Zhaoyue's feet was covered with thorns, forcing her to leap up. With a nimble somersault in the air, she landed three meters to Lin Feng's left flank.
A bloody gash appeared on her left calf from the thorns, staining the white marble with blood, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.
"Don't get entangled!"
Lin Feng frowned, the Wildfire Spear twirling in his hand, golden light bursting from the tip.
With a stomp of his foot, his Sky-Piercing Boots shattered a patch of thorns, propelling him skyward.
In mid-air, he flipped over and raised the Wildfire Spear high, then slammed it down from above—【Meteor Strike】!
"boom!"
The golden shockwave spread outwards from the point of impact, uprooting black thorns within an eight-meter radius, and the fragments burned into golden sparks in mid-air.
Severin's Royal Domain trembled violently in the shockwave, but it did not shatter.
Using the momentum from his landing, Lin Feng instantly rushed in front of Seflin and slammed the Wildfire Spear into the barrier.
The spear tip sank deep, and the Wildfire Erosion took effect! A dark red burn mark appeared on Seiferin's golden armor, forcibly reducing her attack power by thirty percent.
She roared and swung the Sword of Eternal Night Watch, but the sword energy was greatly reduced after the attack was weakened. In addition, the 【Golden Scale Iron Wall】 on Lin Feng's body further weakened the sword, leaving only a shallow white scratch on the Golden Scale Mountain Suppressing Armor.
"Her barrier is about to shatter!" Jiang Zhaoyue shouted, sensing with her keen battlefield intuition that the rotation speed of the barrier runes had dropped to a critical point.
Lin Feng did not answer. He thrust out the Wildfire Spear again, the golden light on the tip of the spear shining even brighter than before.
【Beacon Fire Across the City】 activated!
A blazing fireball, trailing a long fiery tail, hurtled straight towards Seiferin. The moment the fireball struck the barrier, the entire hall was engulfed in golden flames.
"Crack! Boom!!!"
The runes on the barrier's surface spun wildly, eventually becoming unbearable and exploding one after another.
Dark purple fragments of the barrier splattered in all directions like broken glass, leaving countless fine scratches on the marble floor.
The massive shockwave caused the crystal chandelier on the dome to shake violently, and the lights flickered wildly throughout the hall.
Severine's body stiffened for a moment the instant the barrier shattered; it was a brief dizziness caused by the backlash from the barrier.
"Opportunity!" Lin Feng roared.
Jiang Zhaoyue was already poised to strike, and the "Dawn Impact" of the Silver Gleaming Greaves was instantly activated.
As a Nightmare Clan member and a Shadow-type creature, this attack from Seiferin will deal devastating additional damage!
The Silver Moon Spear thrust out, its tip turning from silvery-white to blindingly bright white, tearing through the air and piercing straight into Severine's chest.
"puff!"
The spear tip pierced the breastplate of the Dawn's Fortress Armor, and the pulsating light core flickered wildly under immense pressure.
The spear tip grazed the edge of the light core, pierced through the armor, and deeply penetrated Seflin's chest cavity.
Severine let out a low growl squeezed from deep in her throat.
But her counterattack was extremely terrifying. The Sword of Eternal Night swept across, and the silver starlight on the sword transformed into a 360-degree circular sword aura, slashing out indiscriminately in all directions.
The three retreated rapidly at the same time. Lin Feng's Golden Scale Mountain-Suppressing Armor triggered damage reduction, causing him to lose about a thousand health points. Jiang Zhaoyue was knocked back several meters.
Jiang Yelan's "Afterimage" passive skill was triggered, directly granting him immunity to sword energy damage and allowing him to teleport to Seflin's side.
After regaining her footing, Jiang Yelan did not immediately launch a full-scale attack. Instead, she raised her hand and activated 【Hunting Mark】. During the mark's duration, each hit she landed would be converted into health points.
With a light twist of his five fingers, 【Phantom Blade】 struck again, precisely slashing into Seiferin's side.
The poison effect from the venomous blade's tempering took effect, and the two life steals brought her health back above the safety line. The bloodstain on her face, caused by the thorns, had also stopped bleeding on its own.
Severine stood rooted to the spot, sword in hand, her deep purple pupils burning with a chilling killing intent as she scanned the three people before her.
But she had no chance to catch her breath.
For the next six minutes, Lin Feng's Wildfire Spear, like a golden, furious dragon, relentlessly suppressed Seiferin's frontal attacks.
Jiang Zhaoyue's silver cross slashes poured down like a torrential rain, constantly tearing at her flanks through the gaps in the spear's light.
Jiang Yelan, on the other hand, was like a persistent leech, constantly roaming and launching surprise attacks from the flanks and rear, taking away a large amount of health with each strike.
The three of them took turns applying pressure at a steady, suffocating pace, and Severine's health bar finally dropped below the critical 60% threshold as it continued to decrease.
At that very moment, a sudden change occurred.
Severine suddenly stopped all movement and held the Sword of Night ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) Watch heavily in front of her.
The silver-white starlight and dark purple shadow energy on the sword erupted simultaneously. The two opposing forces, which should have repelled each other, intertwined and entangled wildly around her, eventually transforming into a pillar of destructive light that shot straight up to the dome...
