Chapter 1085: Sparring

As soon as the "Book of Revelation" was pulled out, it immediately turned without wind, flipping to one of the pages.

On it was a "prophecy" written by Lu Mian with his intention:

"Lu Mian will obtain the final victory in this battle because of sufficient good luck."

Amidst the shimmering mercury-colored text, the purple flame giant bird in the high sky dragged its long tail feathers and circled.

It did not reveal its complete mythical creature form, because if it did, Lu Mian wouldn't "play" with it and would immediately summon helpers.

Dark clouds piled up quickly, black and heavy, very close to the ground.

Just in the blink of an eye, an exaggerated rainstorm poured down like a waterfall, as if the sky were a lake with a hole cracked at the bottom.

The rainstorm that was about to form a huge water column poured toward Lu Mian. Lu Mian didn't move half a step, just extracted the "War Bishop" gift power from the seal, making himself both man and woman, his face more inclined to neutral beauty, and his chest still protruding.

The rainstorm falling toward Lu Mian became slower and slower, soon solidifying in mid-air, reflecting sunlight, revealing a crystal-clear appearance.

Ice layers extended upward from the top of Lu Mian's head, incorporating a large amount of rainwater into the cold kingdom, letting rainbows composed of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple cross over their surface.

Splash, the subsequent rainstorm was blocked by the solid ice layer and slid toward the surroundings. This, combined with the rain that had already fallen on the rest of Bovar Penglai and the drainage facilities that had long been destroyed, caused the ruins to rise in water quickly.

Lu Mian stood under the protection of layers of cold ice, looking around unhurriedly, feeling a bit puzzled about the current ability performance of the purple flame giant bird:

"This indeed has the meaning of the power of heaven and earth. If it rains for another two or three hours, combined with the backflow of seawater, the entire Bovar Penglai will have to be flooded...

"But in a battle at the angel level, this is of no use. Which angel would be drowned like this? And there is enough time to leave the scene...

"Unless it rains until the mountain collapses, it is possible to pose a certain threat to an angel...

"However, this can kill ordinary people and low-to-mid sequence extraordinarys very well. It is worthy of being a pathway representing war and calamity..."

Lu Mian had just thought of this when the purple flame giant bird penetrated the thick clouds and poked its head out.

Between those clouds, silver-white electric snakes flashed, gathered together, and suddenly stretched into a clawing lightning bolt downward.

The lightning struck the crystal-clear ice layer, failed to conduct inside, and splashed toward the surroundings in a shattered posture.

Bang!

Lei Sheng sounded, and countless electric snakes fell into the accumulated water of Bovar Penglai. They scurried rapidly, instantly forming a silver-white giant net covering the entire ruins.

Crackling sounds continued, and Lu Mian finally understood why it rained heavily first:

To make the subsequent lightning more destructive and have a wider range of influence!

But Lu Mian himself stepped on dry mud, surrounded by layers of almost non-conductive cold ice, and was not much affected.

In the next second, a new lightning bolt formed, more magnificent and huge than before, just like a silver-white divine tree connecting the sky and the earth.

It struck the thick ice layer, directly shattering the barrier, as if it brought terrifying kinetic energy or released stored energy, causing an impact.

Rumble, thunder rippled, and this terrifying lightning shattered layers of frost and struck Lu Mian's head.

Lu Mian's body shattered with a crack, just like all fragile mirrors.

But his figure did not leave this area protected by the ice layer, still outlined somewhere in the collapsed building ruins.

In mid-air, the purple flame giant bird descended from the sky, spreading its wings that were burning fiercely, smashing toward where Lu Mian was like a meteor.

The nearby rainwater vaporized suddenly, permeating mid-air, as if welcoming the arrival of the purple flame giant bird in the form of mist.

The ground was ignited, the remaining walls were ignited, and Lu Mian's body was also ignited.

Bang!

The purple flame giant bird hit the ground, lifting up a mushroom-like dust cloud.

Lu Mian's body shattered again, and the original broken walls were either burned to ashes or blown away.

Two blood-colored shadows formed by humans pressed into meat paste on the ground appeared at the bottom of the pit caused by the explosion and melting of the mud, slightly dimmed a little.

Lu Mian's neutral figure appeared in the mid-air opposite this area, his light blue eyes reflecting the figure of the purple flame giant bird, preparing to use the witch's curse.

The surrounding mist suddenly became thick, changing from water vapor that could cause burns to real Fog of War.

Lu Mian suddenly lost his lock, making it difficult to impose an effective curse on the target.

Immediately after, a huge, sharp wailing sound rang out, and a terrifying hurricane formed on the sea, sweeping up terrifying, more than ten-meter-high blue sea waves, slapping toward Bovar Penglai.

A tsunami caused by the hurricane!

Lu Mian's body was slapped toward the ground and shattered accordingly.

The building ruins in the Bovar Penglai ruins that could still support a certain height were all swept flat, and the purple flame giant bird soared into the sky, seemingly wanting to circle and look for the disappeared target.

Just at this moment, Lu Mian's figure was outlined at the bottom of the pit with two blood-colored human shadows, and the gray-white color surged toward the purple flame giant bird high above.

Stones formed by air fell down one by one.

The purple flame giant bird suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Lu Mian's body and mind trembled, as if he heard the sound of drums ringing incessantly on an ancient battlefield.

Balls of cyan-tinged purple fireballs appeared rapidly in mid-air, densely packed, blocking the sunlight in this area.

They whistled and fell, smashing into the gray-white color that was spreading over.

The sound of explosions continued, and the gray-white flame stone sculptures were thrown toward the surroundings.

The gray-white color created by Lu Mian constantly shattered and retreated, and in the end, it completely collapsed, letting the remaining cyan-tinged purple fireballs smash onto Lu Mian's body.

This time, the fragments split by the mirror quickly melted into liquid.

At this stage of the battle, the good luck obtained by Lu Mian using the "Book of Revelation" did not appear. Regardless of his attack on the purple flame giant bird or the purple flame giant bird's strike on him, they developed as normal, without any unexpected success or failure.

Lu Mian's figure appeared again in the pit that was deeper and larger.

The purple flame giant bird didn't stop, continuing to attack crazily with different extraordinary abilities.

Lu Mian struggled to support, only able to rely on "Mirror Substitute" to escape fatal blows again and again.

When the altitude of the entire Bovar Penglai was lowered by several meters and was about to be completely flooded by blue seawater, Lu Mian's "Mirror Substitute" was exhausted.

Next, only the death of himself in reality and in the mirror remained.

The purple flame giant bird circling high above, covering the sky, let out a cry that shocked the soul and made people shudder again.

It locked onto Lu Mian's figure, about to smash toward the corresponding area like a meteor, carrying cyan-tinged purple flames burning fiercely.

Almost simultaneously, its body stiffened strangely.

The purple flames on its body surface spread toward the surroundings, and the iron-black metal forming its neck was pulled very long, as if it was about to be broken by an invisible force.

The purple flame giant bird tossed and turned in mid-air in pain, firelight kept sprinkling downward, adding new flame flows to Bovar Penglai, which was already burning fiercely.

Such a change was so sudden and weird, not caused by Lu Mian's attack.

Lu Mian had been beaten passively, simply couldn't find a chance to curse the other party, and the mysterious pathogens secretly spread also died one after another in the indiscriminate purple flame burning and more terrifying high temperature, making it difficult to multiply and spread.

However, Lu Mian wasn't surprised at all by the encounter of the purple flame giant bird, and even had a clear smile on the corner of his mouth.

He watched the other party until the purple flame giant bird, due to pain and madness, revealed its complete mythical creature form.

Lu Mian withdrew his gaze.

The flame giant high above that contained bird-like characteristics seemed to contain mysterious, profound, and indescribable knowledge, which manifested various natural phenomena such as lightning, hail, and hurricanes, making the weather in this sea area present a state of drastic changes.

Soon, this flame giant converged back into a purple giant bird, falling toward the ground.

Lu Mian raised his head, looked at the eyes of the purple flame giant bird that were frozen with pain and confusion, revealed a smile, and said:

"Do you know what place you have been attacking?

"It's the Bovar Penglai telegraph office!"

Lu Mian paused, took out the corpse oil candle that had already finished burning from the "Traveler's Bag", and said with a brighter smile:

"And you are an angel of the 'Hunter' pathway.

"And I am the gifted one of the power at the pinnacle of the two calamity pathways!"

This was the reason why Lu Mian chose to face the purple flame giant bird directly, not seeking help from the Great Arcana cards like "The Magician", and always stayed in a fixed area, never hiding far away!

The Bovar Penglai telegraph office should be a leakage point, connecting to that metropolis in the Western Continent, connecting to the "evil dragon" locked in the ancient well but still able to influence the entire metropolis. Using the corpse oil candle here could obtain a different, further secret pact experience.

Under such circumstances, attacking the ruins of the Bovar Penglai telegraph office, attacking Lu Mian who had extracted the "War Bishop" gift power in advance, and itself belonging to the "Hunter" pathway, and smashing into the leakage point personally, indeed had a not-small probability of stimulating abnormalities and suffering invisible influence!

Of course, the abnormality didn't appear 100%, and the purple flame giant bird didn't have to enter the ruins of the telegraph office personally and bombard here in the posture of a fire meteor. So, Lu Mian used the "Book of Revelation" and added enough good luck.

Now, the ending in the prophecy appeared!

Rumble!

The purple flame giant bird landed not far away, again stirring up a large amount of smoke and flames.

Its purple wings burning fiercely closed, and its body gradually shrank, as if wanting to condense into a solid body.

Immediately after, its final voice appeared in Lu Mian's ear:

"I admit you are qualified.

"This has nothing to do with Tudor's arrangement."

This purple flame giant bird became smaller and smaller, light spots appeared, and finally, the main body part turned into a crystal-clear pillar the size of a palm with countless holes.

Different holes in this pillar presented weather such as mist, hail, rain, lightning, etc., sometimes permeating outward, sometimes retracting inside.

Purple flame feathers and iron bone crystals, etc., were scattered all over the ground.
