Chapter 391: One Against Two
"If you can manage to amuse me, it's not impossible that I might overturn my previous decision!" Aradour said to Lingyun.
"I feel the same way!" Yagiz also spoke up.
"Is that so? Then let me witness the strength of the two of you." Lingyun raised a hand, and terrifying Source Power surged from his body, sweeping across this battlefield.
"You, you two?" Seeing the signs of betrayal from his allies, Pangzi could not help but be shocked.
"Shut up!" Aradour and Yagiz barked at him simultaneously, and powerful magic slammed into him, sending him flying directly away.
"This is... did you strip this space away from Itogami Island? This must be the method of the Gap Witch—Nangong Nayue," Aradour said, looking at the sky that had suddenly turned purple.
"Hurry up; I don't think that woman wants you wasting too much time here," Nangong Nayue said to Lingyun.
"Tsk, what a troublesome person. Then I'll just have to make it a quick battle." Although he said this, Lingyun did not lower his guard; after all, these two were not simple characters.
Aradour made the first move. Aldala's entire body was wrapped in pitch-black armor, which was composed of countless sharp blades and swords; it was a massive suit of full-body armor. Then, he let out a low shout: "Gluttony!"
Countless pitch-black short swords appeared in mid-air, rushing toward Lingyun like sharks that had smelled blood, with an aura that threatened to submerge him.
"Not a bad stance!" Four-colored light suddenly surged around Lingyun's body, and four giant dragons with bared fangs and brandished claws appeared around him. "Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art!"
The four giant dragons let out earth-shaking roars and pounced toward the short swords in the sky. The short swords struck the giant dragons, erupting in sparks before being deflected. Some of the deflected swords were corroded away, some were sliced into fragments, some were completely charred, and the last were burned to ashes. However, under the bombardment of the short swords, the bodies of the four giant dragons also grew increasingly faint.
"Meilisage!" Magic wings suddenly spread from Yagiz's back, allowing him to fly into the high sky, while a giant familiar resembling a cobra appeared beside him. "Go, tear him apart!"
The cobra let out a hiss and lunged toward Lingyun.
"Sky Dragon!" Lingyun gave a low shout, and a red giant dragon appeared in the Void, meeting the giant cobra.
The two giant beasts collided heavily, emitting a violent boom, and powerful magic fluctuations spread continuously in all directions. But it was clear that the cobra was no match for the Sky Dragon; after only a few collisions, the cobra let out a hiss of unbearable pain.
"Tsk, truly worthy of being one of the Three Phantom Gods that can rival the familiars of a True Ancestor?" Yagiz clicked his tongue in frustration, then his magic wings flapped, and he lunged toward the Sky Dragon as well.
"Boom, boom, boom—" On the ground, Aradour was also mired in a bitter struggle. The tall Giant God Soldier swung its fists, slamming them one after another into his long sword; each strike made his body tremble and forced him to take a step back.
Under these circumstances, Aradour summoned his other familiars, and wave after wave of short swords bombarded the Giant God Soldier. But the Winged Dragon of Ra, flying in the sky, was not idle either, releasing sheets of solar flames that burned the short swords in the sky into nothingness.
"Sloth!" Aradour let out a violent roar, and a slash that appeared without warning and exceeded the speed of sound instantly forced the Giant God Soldier back.
"Pride!"
After forcing back the Giant God Soldier, Aradour released another of his familiars, and a slash instantly tore through space, striking toward Lingyun. Upon finding it difficult to contend with the Giant God Soldier, Aradour shifted his target to Lingyun.
"Void Shock!"
Sensing abnormal spatial fluctuations around him, Lingyun did not hesitate in the slightest and smashed a fist directly into them. The pitch-black blade from another dimension, capable of unleashing a slash that nullified defensive barriers, was smashed into fragments the moment it appeared beside Lingyun.
The sky had been covered by purple mist at some unknown point; this was the ability of the cobra familiar, turning the surrounding air into highly acidic poison. White smoke began to rise from the Sky Dragon, clearly showing that this poison had a certain effect on it as well.
However, the situation changed quickly. Terrifying lightning spread from the Sky Dragon, turning the sky into a domain of thunder. With the appearance of the thunder domain, the purple in the air slowly vanished.
"This is... ionizing all the toxic substances?" Yagiz said with a look of astonishment. "There's such a way to do this?"
But this was only the beginning. After the Sky Dragon ionized all the toxic air, golden Thunder Bullets condensed in its mouth and bombarded the cobra one after another. Under the impact of the Thunder Summoning Bullets, the cobra let out a roar of pain.
"Super Magic Conductive Radio Holy Light!"
Wisps of Thunder spilled from the Sky Dragon's mouth, followed by a terrifying pillar of thunder that erupted from it, blasting the entire cobra into fragments. Even Yagiz himself was caught in the blast; if he hadn't dodged quickly, he likely would have had most of his body blown away by this powerful thunder pillar. Even so, he still lost an arm, and his body was completely paralyzed by the effects of the thunder, causing him to crash directly to the ground.
"Seven Deadly Sins!" Seeing Yagiz blasted out of the sky by the Sky Dragon, Aradour's expression changed slightly, and he summoned all seven of his familiars at once.
His armor shattered into countless black blades, while six other types of blades appeared in the Void. The seven different types of blades combined continuously in mid-air, eventually forming a massive sword blade.
"Slash!" Veins bulged on Aradour's hands as he gripped the giant sword and swung it heavily toward Lingyun.
"Vatler's familiars are named after the Eight Great Dragon Kings of Buddhism, and your familiars are named after the Seven Deadly Sins of Christianity, and both can use fusion skills. I sometimes wonder if this is a unique talent of you vampires in the War King Domain!" Lingyun chuckled, and a long sword appeared in his hand; this long sword had ten peculiar holes on it. "Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art!"
The four giant dragons appeared around Lingyun once more, then merged into the long sword one after another.
"Break!" Lingyun slashed out with his sword, hacking heavily at the giant sword coming toward him.
The two swords of disparate sizes collided, emitting a violent boom, and terrifying magic fluctuations instantly swept through this space, kicking up clouds of dust.
"Crack, crack, crack—" The giant sword in Aradour's hand shattered inch by inch, and the Sword Qi of the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art, after destroying the Seven Deadly Sins, pierced through his body, leaving a massive wound on him.
"Cough, cough, cough—" Suffering such an injury, even an old-school vampire like Aradour could not help but turn pale and cough up a large mouthful of blood.
"Well, have you had enough?" Lingyun slowly put away the long sword in his hand.
"Truly worthy of being the vampire Vatler spoke of who can rival a True Ancestor; I admit defeat regarding this combat power." Aradour covered his wound; under the power of a vampire, that wound was constantly disappearing. "I was very satisfied with this battle, and I have decided: I will cast a dissenting vote on the matter of destroying Itogami Island!"
Lingyun glanced at him, then nodded: "As you wish."
In fact, Lingyun had not taken the matter of destroying Itogami Island to heart at all; after all, regarding such matters, the True Ancestors had veto power. Whether it was Xiao Gucheng as the Fourth Progenitor or Jiada as the Third Progenitor, they could both protect Itogami Island.
As for now, he should go cook and feed Jiada; after all, she had put in effort at today's meeting. If he went late, he didn't know what kind of trouble that little girl might stir up. As for that Pangzi from the Taishi Bureau, there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with him later.
Thinking of this, Lingyun's figure instantly turned into a Phantom and vanished from where he stood.
