Chapter 516: The Realm of Eternal Night
The beam of light struck the crystal chandelier in the dome, causing thousands of crystals to resonate with a piercing sound.
The dark purple energy beads on her Thorn King's Crown began to rotate in reverse, one of them shattering with each rotation, turning into pure dark purple light that surged wildly into her Dawn Barrier Armor.
The light core in the center of the breastplate, which had been pulsating, quickly changed color from pale gold to a chilling dark gold.
"She is strengthening herself!"
Jiang Zhaoyue shouted sharply, her keen battlefield intuition allowing her to sense that Severin's aura was rapidly increasing.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Feng's feet flashed with golden light, and he charged forward once more, thrusting his Wildfire Spear straight for Severine's throat.
However, this time, the moment the spear tip touched the beam of light, it was violently repelled by an invisible, terrifying repulsive force.
The gun trembled violently, making his hands numb. The energy density inside the beam of light was too high; melee weapons simply couldn't penetrate it!
"Use ranged skills! Don't get close!" Lin Feng decisively ordered, retreating quickly to create distance.
He suddenly raised his left hand, and ten blazing spear beams tore through the air, leaving long golden trails that shot straight into the pillar of light.
At the same instant, Jiang Yelan threw out the Phantom Blade, which drew a strange arc, bypassing the beam of light and slashing at the flank.
Jiang Zhaoyue's silver moon spear followed closely behind, the spear formed from moonlight flying in a straight line, faster than sound.
Twelve ranged attacks simultaneously struck the pillar of light, the energy shockwave crushing the remaining thorns and overturning large sections of marble flooring. The pillar of light trembled violently, but did not shatter.
Inside the pillar of light, Severine slowly raised her head. Her eyes had turned completely dark purple, with even the whites of her eyes being eroded away.
She spoke, her voice hoarse and hollow, like an ancient judgment from the depths of hell.
"In the name of the last monarch of Elderland, this land is forever shrouded in darkness, and there will never be a dawn."
The tip of the Sword of Eternal Night's Watch slammed heavily onto the ground, and a dark purple halo rapidly expanded from her center.
Wherever the halo passed, the white marble floor turned into a pitch-black abyss as if swallowed up, the tapestries on the walls were torn and rolled into it, and the crystal chandelier on the dome swayed wildly.
In just a few seconds, the entire floor of the throne room was completely replaced by ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) a bottomless dark void.
The three of them floated above this void, with no solid ground beneath their feet, yet they did not fall.
In this realm forcibly dragged in by Severin, all light sources were suppressed to the extreme. The light from the crystal chandelier was compressed into a fist-sized golden sphere suspended in the dome, barely illuminating an area of several dozen meters around it.
【Eternal Night Domain】, the second form of Serphin.
Her health did not recover, but her attack patterns and skill set underwent a fundamental change.
The silvery starlight on the Sword of Eternal Night vanished completely, replaced by a pure dark purple sword aura.
The fragments of energy beads on her crown formed a floating dark purple halo around her.
Even more deadly is that her movement speed has been greatly increased.
"Ye Lan, hold the left flank back! Zhao Yue, find an opportunity to break in!"
Lin Feng's voice exploded in the void.
Instead of retreating, he charged forward, heading straight for Severine, shouting, "Leave the front to me!"
Before he finished speaking, the Golden Scale Mountain-Suppressing Armor on his body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling golden light.
【Armor Returns to One】 is activated, and golden light appears all over his body. Then, he bends his knees slightly, and the shadow runes on his Shadow Chasing Wind Leggings light up at the same time. 【Shadow Breath】 is activated, and his evasion rate is increased by a factor of 1.
Two beams of light overlapped on him, the golden armor and the shadowy aura of life intertwined, enveloping his entire body in a halo of half gold and half darkness.
Severine's Night Watch Sword has already struck.
The dark purple sword light on the blade trailed an arc of light in the black void, slashing straight at Lin Feng's head.
This sword strike was faster than any of her previous attacks. Her attack speed was doubled in her Eternal Night Domain form, allowing her to unleash twice as many sword strikes in the same amount of time!
Lin Feng did not block; his body tilted slightly to the right, a very small movement, like a leaf being blown by the wind.
The dark purple sword light grazed his left shoulder, barely slicing through the air on the surface of the shoulder armor, but did not touch the armor itself.
Perfect dodge! The 【Shadow Step】 healing effect is triggered, instantly restoring health.
He tapped his toes in mid-air, using the momentum of his dodge to spin around, and the Wildfire Spear swept horizontally from his waist, the blade drawing a golden arc in the darkness, slashing straight at Seiferin's side.
Sylphine parried with her sword, and sparks flew as the gun and sword clashed.
The Judgment Ring on her left middle finger lit up; after each successful parry, the Judgment Ring would add 20% damage to her next attack.
The Sword of Eternal Night followed up with a backhand flick, its tip aimed straight for Lin Feng's throat.
Lin Feng turned to the side again, his Sky-Chasing Boots leaving two consecutive afterimages in the void.
The first sword grazed his throat, the second sword missed his right shoulder, and the third sword was dodged by him tilting his head back, the tip of the sword less than a finger's width away from his chin.
Three sword strikes in quick succession, all dodged!
The Bloodthirst passive effect of the Bloodthirst Golden Hoop is also active simultaneously, and 20% of the damage from that sweeping shot was converted into health.
His health bar increased instead of decreasing during his continuous dodges and counterattacks, remaining steadily above the safety line.
The soul fire in Cephline's eye sockets flickered violently, and her Eternal Night Cloak suddenly unfurled behind her, unleashing dozens of shadow tentacles that shot out from the edges of the cloak, simultaneously stabbing at Lin Feng from all directions.
This time, she wasn't going to hit him, but rather use her tentacles to compress his dodge space. No matter which direction he dodged, he would crash into at least three tentacles!
"Lord!" Jiang Zhaoyue on the right flank exclaimed in surprise. Her Silver Moon Heavenly Spear was busy deflecting the tentacles that were stabbing at her side, and she had no time to support the front.
Lin Feng did not answer. He slammed his Sky-Piercing Boots on the ground, and 【Meteor Flash】 was activated with a bang.
Like a golden lightning bolt, he forcefully passed through the seemingly inescapable encirclement of dozens of shadowy tentacles.
The tentacles closed behind him, striking empty air, and the exploding shadow energy stirred up ripples in the void.
The next second, he was less than three meters away from Severine.
Raising the Wildfire Spear high above his head, the increased damage from the Windwalking Combo stacked on the spear blade, causing his attack power to soar to 1,450 points.
"It's my turn."
The Wildfire Spear cleaved down from above, its blade trailing a golden arc, like a half-sun crashing down.
