Chapter 258: Three Heroes Battle Osial! Each Showing Their Unique Skills!

~7 min read 1,273 words

Above the Jade Chamber!

Noticing the Archon's attention shifting to Liyue Harbor, everyone's expressions turned grim.

It would be one thing if it were just causing trouble here at Guyun Stone Forest, but if it involved ordinary citizens, it was absolutely unacceptable to the Liyue Qixing and those present.

"Alright, you can go and experience what it's like to fight an Archon one-on-one."

Hearing Luo Li ignored Osial, who was busy venting his rage, and instead issued an invitation for a trial to the Eula trio.

"Of course, since fighting on the sea surface isn't very advantageous for you, remember to carry this with you."

Flicking three crystal-clear beads to the three of them, Hearing Luo Li explained: "This is the Water-Control Bead; you will walk on water as if it were flat ground."

The three women hung the rather magical beads around their necks, exchanged glances, and without the slightest hesitation, prepared to set off.

Since Hearing Luo Li had already decided, it meant it was almost impossible for them to escape the process of fighting the Archon.

In that case, resistance was useless; it was better to open their hearts and accept it.

Eula gripped her greatsword, filled with fighting spirit.

"Then, let's go!"

She took the first step, and in an instant, a wide ice path extended continuously from the Jade Chamber to the surface of the sea.

The spectacular road, over a thousand meters long, was incredibly stunning. Having mastered the power of the Teigu, she could now do such things with ease.

Stepping onto the continuously extending ice surface, Eula slid down, following gravity as if ice skating.

Shenhe couldn't help but be surprised by how easily she created such a large-scale scene. She knew that even she would have to use Immortal arts to achieve this, and it would be quite energy-consuming.

Yet, looking at Eula, it seemed quite easy.

Master was right; there is always someone better, and there is always a heaven beyond heaven.

Glancing at Hearing Luo Li, Shenhe felt it might have something to do with him as well. No wonder Master asked him to come and teach her.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind. Shenhe and Noelle followed Eula's footsteps, sliding down the ice path until they reached the Archon Osial.

Only upon close contact did the three realize just how massive this Archon was.

In front of it, the three were no better than ants.

"I'll take the lead, you two provide support from the sides!"

Dealing with an Archon was certainly not comparable to dealing with Hilichurls, so Eula distributed tasks immediately.

They weren't looking to defeat the Archon, but to hold out for this period and deliver a performance that would satisfy Hearing Luo Li.

Noelle nodded: "Understood, I will provide help at any time!"

Shenhe said nothing but nodded gently, indicating she understood.

The three ran toward Osial in a triangular formation.

Eula traveled along the ice surface to beneath the Archon. She didn't know how big this thing really was; just the head floating on the sea was hundreds of meters high, and its body beneath the water was likely even more terrifying.

Shaking her head to dispel the slight fear in her heart, the ice-blue maiden gave a soft shout. Her Demon blood boiled, and she manipulated the Cryo element to form a greatsword dozens of meters long, slashing at one of Osial's heads.

Clearly, Osial didn't put mere ants in his eyes; he didn't even have the intention to pay attention. All four of his heads looked past the Jade Chamber in the sky toward Liyue Harbor in the distance.

Ignoring the slash of the ice sword, Osial spat out a pure, destructive elemental torrent, hoping to destroy the floating island in one blow.

However, at the same time, Eula's slash arrived.

Thinking the ant's attack would be ineffective, who knew that the indestructible ice would actually leave a mark on his sturdy scales.

Accompanied by a sharp pain, Osial's vicious gaze looked down, and his breath stopped abruptly.

Giving a provocative look, Eula flipped and jumped off the sea surface, dodging a black shadow flashing from the seabed.

"Is this… a tail?"

Sensing the massive object sweeping past with great force, Eula could feel her skin stinging.

"Tsk, what a terrifying size."

Just the sweep of the tail kicked up a huge wave, and the tip of the tail alone was ten zhang thick.

Rather than calling it a tail sweep, it would be more accurate to say it was an attempt to flatten her directly.

The counterattack was ineffective. Another of Osial's heads opened its huge mouth, and a violent, piercing light appeared in its oral cavity, attempting to drown Eula with a pure elemental torrent.

Seeing this, Noelle didn't dare to hold back and immediately drew her Amenoma Kageuchi.

"Be careful, I'll help you!"

The dual-wielding maid stepped firmly on the sea surface, suddenly leaped up, and made a fierce downward slash from the air using the swing of her waist and feet.

"Dragon Hammer Flash!"

Supported by superhuman strength, the katana flashed like a bolt of lightning.

If it weren't a precious sword from the Amenoma clan, one of the Raiden Gokaden, it would likely have shattered under the immense pressure.

Even so, the blade emitted a buzzing sound near its limit.

Using the waves to bounce, Noelle arrived directly in front of Osial, meeting those cruel and terrifying eyes.

The powerful sword technique split his scales, sending several pieces flying, each half the size of a person even after shattering.

Osial hissed, a look of annoyance appearing in his eyes. How dare an ant attack him.

Before the Archon could react, Noelle immediately followed up with the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū.

"Dragon Flight Flash!"

With a high-speed draw-and-twist posture, the battle maid in her maid outfit unleashed her monstrous strength, smashing from bottom to top at Osial's chin. At the same time, the Snow-Tombed Starsilver in her right hand utilized the momentum to perform the spin, bind, and storm techniques of the Dragon Coil Flash, synthesizing them into a five-hit combo.

The terrifying strength exploded, instantly knocking Osial's head askew.

The breath in his mouth was extinguished, and, dazed and confused, he suddenly became irritable. The third head on the side bit down fiercely.

If this hit, Noelle would be finished on the spot.

Unable to leverage herself in the air, she could only watch the foul-smelling mouth approach.

But Noelle has teammates!

Shenhe, on the right, strode her long legs, running along Osial's long neck, and the Cryo domain of her Exorcism Arts emerged.

"Immortal Art! Edict!"

Several zhang-long ice spears appeared out of thin air and were thrown by the Exorcist at Osial's third head.

Although it didn't cause much damage, it deflected the direction of his bite.

With this split second of breathing room, Noelle retracted the deflected katana.

"Dragon Cry Flash!"

The moment she brushed past the Archon's head and body, she unleashed a high-speed sheathing technique.

It was originally meant to use powerful ultrasonic waves to destroy the enemy's brain tissue, but for an Archon, it would only cause discomfort for a while.

The piercing hum left Osial's head somewhat dazed, unable to react for a short time.

Taking this opportunity, Noelle gripped the Snow-Tombed Starsilver and slashed hard at its forehead; blinding sparks flashed, accompanied by a dull thud that echoed out.

"So hard!"

Feeling the recoil force traveling up her arm, and seeing the faint bloodstain on Osial's forehead, Noelle muttered as she plummeted rapidly, descending to the sea surface and exploding a massive splash.
