Shen Yin Wang Zuo (Web Novel) - Chapter 645 — Deathgod, Cai’er (III)
Chapter 645: Deathgod, Cai’er (III)
All gray, an endless gray. Cai’er’s whole body sank in a pool of gray, and the instant that shadow of death suffused her body, the latter suddenly gained a slender feel. The spiritual wings on her back shrank as ripples of gray color circulated all around her body.
As Cai’er slowly turned back, the colors of her eyes changed, turning gray instead of black, tinted with a sharp white.
A white color generally gave off a cleansing feeling, but the white in Cai’er eyes seemed filled with inexhaustible magic power. The instant she turned back, the black mage and light warrior’s movements became dull, not even launching their attacks immediately.
A gray barrier spread out from Cai’er, and a fantastic scene followed. The central area formed of chaos and space was unable to breach through this gray barrier, as it looked like Cai'er had embedded a huge gem in that area just then.
This was already beyond astonishing. The slaughter intent coming out from her body disappeared at once, giving way only to deathly cold stillness, but this deathly stillness was not an aura of death either.
Her long skirt drifting even without any wind, the white glow in Cai’er’s eyes grew even further in intensity.
“Seven Arts of the God of Death, Death in Childhood!” Cai’er made a move, and the instant the Sickle of the God of Death was launched, it was already glinting in a clear white color. This strike was not aimed at any opponent in the sidelines, but right into the central area. Right, splitting this area was her only chance, otherwise the pincer attack of the great domains of light and darkness elements would make her defeat the only possible conclusion.
The dark mage waved his staff forward, and from it, a pitch-black ray took shape. In the meantime, a half-moon shape behind him drifted forward, and its deep purple radiance chased after that black ray.
The light warrior didn’t immediately launch an assault. The heavy sword in his hand was pointed to the sky, releasing a bright golden brilliance of incomparable intensity. In a flash of gold, another projectile like that purple half-moon was shot at Cai’er.
Chi.
In an ear-piercing splitting sound, the white barrier shattered, and the powers of darkness and light instantly mixed together in their midst.
However, right as these two totally opposite powers clashed, the rays of the purple moon and the golden halo clashed against Cai’er head on.
The white ray released by the dark mage was split by Cai’er’s Sickle of the God of Death, but slightly slowed down her movements. The next instant, the purple moon and golden ray began clashing at once.
But, mysteriously, as these two domains’ powers clashed, the whole space suddenly came to a standstill. The area having lost its central nucleus, the light and darkness which should have clashed violently came to a sudden stop, and then happened to join each other instead of colliding.
Purple-black and golden-yellow intertwined with each other, forming a head-sized circular yin-yang symbol.
Seeing that, everyone from Bright Glimmer of Hope couldn’t help but feel a chill of stupefaction.
This is…
A harmonization between light and darkness, a dual-element mixed magic!
They had seen mixed magic before, but the pure mixture of light and darkness was something they had never expected to see!
Chen Ying’er’s Elemental Cage mixed the six elements to produce a formidable power, but it made use of some tricks, for instance, water and fire, as well as light and darkness, had to be divided by the other elements, preventing them from coming into contact, otherwise she surely would have no way to control it.
But what was just happening right before their eyes?
A magic combining light and darkness, combining the light elemental and darkness elemental domains. To say nothing of that situation, there was no record of anything similar even in all the records left by humankind.
That was a crazy mixture of light and darkness, and it gave rise to such a terrifying might! Could Cai’er block it? Even the Demon God Emperor would be surprised, seeing such a thing.
The difficulty of this sixth floor went way beyond their expectations. These two Great Holy Guards were actually able to achieve such combinatorial magic. How could they win?
The instant that ball of light had appeared, the light and darkness elements on its two sides gathered extremely naturally.
Those souls of powerhouses in the two skeletons’ eyes pulsed violently, and the whole Tower of Eternity shook due to this mixture. If such a combinatorial magic should detonate…
There would be no certainty that even the Tower of Eternity could bear it. That was the mixture between two domains of the ninth step, a combination of explosiveness!
Right at this instant, Cai’er launched her second attack.
The white light in her vanished as she seemed to become entirely transparent, like a pure white sculpture. The Sickle of the God of Death pointed to the front and Cai'er's body slid forward quietly, before rushing to the ball of light of combined light and darkness.
A bizarre white light extended from her Sickle of the God of Death in the shape of a thread which nimbly encircled that ball of light.
Shockingly, that white thread slowly cut through the midst of that ball of light combining light and darkness, stripping all the spiritual energy contained inside.
The mixture of light and darkness came to a stop, and the soulfires in the skeletons’ eyes pulsed once again, taking the same action of launching another attack.
That domain combination was originally their most powerful attack. If not for the fear that Cai’er had aroused in them with the powerful purifying force of Death in Childhood, destroying the barrier between light and darkness, they would not be so harsh as to show this move.
But Cai’er’s second attack shocked them once again. Those somewhat thin white threads were even more frightening than the previous instance of Death in Childhood, as that was a purifying force no element had a chance to resist.
Combining light and darkness is easier said than done! An extraordinary balance needed to be achieved, so that they would neither counteract nor swallow each other. This was something extremely hard to control, and needed all the elemental forces composing it to reach a state of solidity.
When pierced by those white threads, how could this state of balance be maintained? The portions colored golden and purplish-black instantly showed traces of instability, looking about to burst.
The two skeletons guarding these floors were without doubt the number one and number two of the twelve holy guards. As the most powerful beings out of all the holy guards, they were the left and right arms of the Slumbering Calamity Elux. Their mastery of light and darkness had already reached the peak level.
Seeing the ball of light about to burst, the two powerhouses simultaneously made the same move.
The first holy guard, the holy warrior, swept his heavy sword in a circular motion, tracing a circle, and the second holy guard made the same motion with his staff.
Due to the ravaging white threads, the ball of light took only an instant to be routed, with light essence and darkness essence gushing out from the two sides at once, rapidly melting toward the light warrior and darkness mage. All the golden and black essence in the air returned to their respective directions.
Upon seeing this scene, the mage of this group, Lin Xin, shivered unconsciously.
This was absolutely not doable with just 200,000 spiritual energy. A mage able to transfer his or her thoughts to forcefully call back his elemental magic, what level of control was that? These two holy guards not only had an ultra-high control over magic power, but also a flawless grasp of their own domain.
This level of strength was just too terrifying. Their spiritual energy ought to have attained at least 300,000. Even with lacking equipment, they were strong enough to match some demon gods in the top thirty-sixth ranks making full use of their Demon God Transformation.
And Cai’er was facing off against two such powerhouses by herself: what a pressure! Even if Long Haochen was resurrected, he might not even necessarily win such a match.
However, the previous courses of action confirmed some of Lin Xin’s thoughts. These first and second holy guards were indeed unwilling to let their spiritual energy collide. The rupture of the state of fusion would cause light and darkness to corrode each other, and therefore greatly affect their ability. Lin Xin’s only point of curiosity was: how could these light and darkness users show such a high level of mutual understanding? Powerhouses of the light and darkness elements should normally be mutually repulsed by each other.
Light and darkness rapidly retracted in the same direction, causing an eye-catching scene to follow in the sixth floor of the Tower of Eternity.
However, the two great holy guards clearly hadn’t such an easy time of regaining their own domains by these means. They had to sustain considerable backlashes from their domains.
Two groans were heard at the same time. Drawing back, the fluctuations of spiritual energy they released became very frantic.
Facing two such great powerhouses wielding light and darkness combinatorial magic, Cai’er not only did not suffer loss, but even had the advantage. If this was not happening right before their eyes, who would dare believe that?
Cai’er had her eyes shut, the glow in them disappeared at once.
Second of the Seven Arts of the God of Death, Death in Cleansing.
All the white surrounding Cai’er, including the white filling her eyes, stemmed from the God of Death’s purifying power.
Cai’er’s God’s Descent was already in use from the start of the third floor, in the shape of that shadow of death.
In another place, Cai’er could only deploy her deathgod’s descent for five minutes at most, but this Tower of Eternity was not the same.
Cai’er had gained some understanding as early as the first time she followed Long Haochen there. This comprehension stemmed from the death energy inside the Tower of Eternity.
The Tower of Eternity was the strongest divine tool of the Holy Necromancer, Slumbering Calamity Elux, absorbing souls to raise its power. So who could imagine how much death energy came out from it?
And what’s the God of Death? That’s the divinity in control of death itself! Not a deathbringer, but a death purifier. Through the cleansing of death, he could turn all the death energy into his own power. That’s the power of the God of Death.
