Chapter 1015: The Grandmaster

Albert Bay's residents looked at the sky, like statues standing in the streets, each person was shocked by the terrifying power of the Ten-ring Spell.

After the shock, cheers and jubilation followed.

The Infernal Flame Legion was annihilated!

The Demon legion that burst out of the fiery tunnel on the mountain was also wiped out clean by the Extreme Warrior; the Extreme Warrior had already blocked the exit, no matter how many Demons surged out, as soon as they emerged they were instantly shattered into fragments by the Bolt Gun.

The Demon's shattered corpses and blood mixed together, rolling down from the mountain top like a crimson mudslide.

Then, they saw a Titan Giant!

The Titan Giant single‑handedly blocked the blood‑soaked Valkyrie Asina and her ancient red dragon; the two clashed in the sky, each weapon collision booming like thunder, rattling the eardrums of the townsfolk.

Crashing thunder and crimson flames erupted, the resulting shockwaves exploding in concentric circles.

It was like two goddesses descended to battle.

"I know her!" someone shouted, pointing at the sky, "That's Lady Asina, commander of the Thunder Mercenary Corps."

"That's right," the person beside them confirmed.

"I've dealt with Commander Asina before; she usually wears that blue armor," some people familiar with Albert Bay's mercenaries said, marveling, "So Commander Asina is a Titan Giant—no wonder her strength is so great!"

Such discussion echoed throughout Albert Bay.

Apart from Dao En Sosi and Beilake, the other members of the Thunder Mercenary Corps had just learned Asina's true identity and were dumbfounded.

The commander is actually a Titan Giant!

Yet they felt honored, knowing they were acquainted with a Saint Rank powerhouse.

In the distance, the Sea King Ake Man, hovering above the Goton Bridge, showed no surprise, as if he had known the secret long ago. He did not intervene in the battle, watching Asina and Valkyria's duel while scanning the surroundings with his gaze.

"Ho!"

Asina let out a mighty shout, her body suddenly shrank to about ten meters, speed surged, she raised an Aegis Shield to deflect the ancient red dragon's breath, then dived forward to deliver a thunderous charge.

She seemed to step on invisible floor, crashing straight into Valkyria's spear.

Bang!

A booming blast rang out; at the moment of impact Asina grew to over thirty meters, electric currents erupted over her, like a massive mountain crushing down.

The blood‑soaked Valkyrie and the ancient red dragon were caught off‑guard, lost balance, and fell straight toward the ground.

Asina's skin reflected a dark‑golden sheen; letting the ancient red dragon bite, she used her round shield to guard vital points, preventing the Valkyrie's spear from piercing, and pressed her massive body onto the foes, trying to drag them to the ground.

The Titan Giant can fight in the air, but only when his feet touch the earth does he unleash his strength advantage.

The two and the dragon landed amid their tangled fight.

Boom…

The whole Albert Bay trembled, the impact landing in Oak Blue City, carving a pit dozens of meters wide.

Splash!

Asina turned into a bolt of lightning, leapt into the air, again showing her agile form; she raised her decapitation sword high, and within a radius of a thousand meters, lightning elements surged like tide, flowing into the sword, its massive blade formed of lightning.

Then she sliced down, cleaving the dragon's upward‑spouting breath.

Clang!

Amid the lightning burst, the towering blood‑soaked Valkyrie appeared, raising her twisted great shield overhead, easily blocking Asina's aerial slash; bolts of lightning were repelled by her blood‑red armor, causing little damage.

"Just that."

Valkyria said coldly, and at the same time thrust her spear upward with such speed that Asina could not dodge nor raise the Aegis Shield in time.

The sharp spear pierced the titanium‑golden body, embedding in the abdomen.

"Um…"

Asina let out a muffled groan.

Though she possessed steel Willpower and ignored pain, the opponent's spear seemed to have a terrifying soul‑piercing effect; she felt her soul pierced, excruciating pain, and in the instant her mind faltered, she activated Electric Flash Teleport to create distance.

"Huh?" the blood‑soaked Valkyrie's eyes widened; her "Killing God Spear" even Aiken feared, yet it failed to pierce this Titan Giant.

When the Killing God Spear entered the giant's body, it met massive resistance.

"What a strong defense!"

Valkyria licked her lips, excitement blazing in her eyes; such a powerful enemy only heightened her killing desire.

The demon bat wings behind her fluttered, and she vanished instantly.

In the next instant, the blood‑soaked Valkyrie appeared hundreds of meters away, thrusting her Killing God Spear forward; Asina just used Electric Flash Teleport, her figure materialized as if she were delivering herself onto the spear's tip, reacting a beat slower.

With a puff.

The Titan's power armor, as thin as paper, shattered instantly; the Killing God Spear drove into Asina's back, heading straight for her heart.

Asina's mind went blank.

"Gigantify."

Lei En's voice rang in her soul; without thinking, Asina instinctively unleashed Titan divine power and Immortal Battle Soul, swelling to over thirty meters, she flung the Killing God Spear away, shedding its negative effect on her soul.

Asina's thoughts returned, she planted her foot and stomped.

Thunder Stomp!

The giantess received eighteen‑level "Power" from Lei En, she mastered Blood Frenzy herself, and after activation amplified the power to nineteen levels.

This Thunder Stomp was like a Nine‑ring Earthquake Technique combined with an Eight‑ring Lightning Storm; countless lightning bolts erupted, shockwaves swept all around, buildings, trees, and everything within turned to dust, the ground collapsed into a void.

Yet the blood‑soaked Valkyrie reacted a beat faster and evaded.

Her combat experience was far too rich.

After centuries of blood‑soaked slaughter, enduring hardships and killing beyond ordinary mortals, Valkyria rose from an ordinary Demonkin female to Chosen Champion, receiving the Lord of Darkness's blessing, becoming a peak power in the Prime Material Plane; Asina still lagged far behind her.

The blood‑soaked Valkyrie's strength, defense, and technique were flawless, but her greatest asset was speed.

Her "Swiftness" reached eighteen levels!

Asina's Thunder Stomp had not finished, yet Valkyria's figure pierced through layers of lightning, appearing directly in front of Asina.

The Killing God Spear thrust straight into the Titan Giant's eye.

Axi Na instinctively raised the Egis Divine Shield to protect her head; Wa Er Ji Ya seemed to have guessed it already, dropping her figure downward, the Killing God Spear changing direction to strike Axi Na's exposed throat. At the same time, her red dragon mount seized the chance to circle behind Axi Na and spewed high‑temperature dragon breath.

The ancient red dragon's breath is equivalent to a Nine-ring Technique and is continuous.

Even with an Energy Furnace, Axi Na could not hold out for long; her titanium‑golden body could not fully resist the Chosen Champion's Killing God Spear.

This is a Legend Grade weapon blessed by the Lord of Darkness!

Axi Na knew it was too late.

She feared no death and was prepared for grievous injury, but worried she would hinder Lei En, preventing Lei En from giving his all when facing the Eternal Chosen.

At the critical moment, a flash flickered before Axi Na's eyes.

She realized she had been teleported into the sky, turned back instantly, and saw a gaunt black silhouette occupying her former spot.

Lei Si Lin's Spatial Shift!

The ancient red dragon's breath vanished into the air, and Wa Er Ji Ya's Killing God Spear lost its target, yet she felt no disappointment; her eyes instead flashed crimson, and she intoned in a deep voice, "Just when I was worried I couldn't find you, you came right to my doorstep."

Her speed outpaced sound itself.

The moment she uttered the first word, Wa Er Ji Ya appeared before Lei Si Lin, the two almost face‑to‑face, and the Killing God Spear pierced Lei Si Lin's magical robe.

An invisible shield materialized.

The Killing God Spear slowed further, its tip only a few centimeters from Lei Si Lin's body, seemingly within reach, yet those few centimeters were like a celestial chasm, impossible to breach.

"Spatial Barrier!"

Wa Er Ji Ya let out a cold snort, her demon bat wings flaring wildly behind her, blood‑colored light coursing over her skin and converging onto the spear, she exerted all her strength to drive the Killing God Spear.

Snap!

A faint sound rang out, and a subtle crack appeared on the Spatial Barrier.

A cruel expression crossed Wa Er Ji Ya's face, while Lei Si Lin's demeanor remained indifferent, unchanged from start to finish.

In an instant, he completed the casting.

Time Stop!

The world within several hundred meters froze; Wa Er Ji Ya's expression hardened. Having undergone nine Soul Transformations and received the Lord of Darkness's blessing, her resistance to Time Stop is extremely high, allowing her to think normally; for her, Time Stop is merely a slow spell.

However, under the interference of Time Stop, her Killing God Spear could not advance a single inch.

Lei Si Lin ignored the Bloody Valkyrie before him, wielded Endless Storm, and first cast the Mirror Image Technique to create twelve Mirror Images.

Then, the original body plus the Mirror Images began casting wildly.

Hundreds of spells hovered mid‑air—seven‑ring, eight‑ring, Nine-ring, fire, Mind Blast, Arcane—dense and multicolored, forming a terrifying torrent that filled every inch of space within the Time Stop.

When six seconds elapsed, Lei Si Lin vanished.

Wa Er Ji Ya also fled to the edge of the Time Stop; when time resumed its normal flow, she instantly slipped out of the spell torrent's attack range, unscathed.

However, her red dragon mount was not so fortunate; it was instantly engulfed by the spells, letting out a single mournful scream before falling silent.

When the terrifying spell energy subsided, the red dragon had become a shattered dragon corpse.

"Askarseta!"

The Bloody Valkyrie let out a roar; the mount that had followed her for years died like that, she spun around and spotted Lei Si Lin high in the sky, adding another blood debt.

But before she could pursue, Axi Na's figure descended from the heavens, a decapitation sword slashing overhead.

"Get out!"

Wa Er Ji Ya struck the Titan Giant with her shield, skillfully using its momentum to bypass the enemy before her and rush toward Lei Si Lin in the high sky. At this moment, the only target in her eyes was Lei Si Lin—she had to kill that human Wizard!

Swish!

The Chosen Champion's speed was incomprehensibly fast, like a flash; in an instant he was before Lei Si Lin, and a spear pierced Lei Si Lin's body.

Lei Si Lin dissolved into a wisp, it was only a Mirror Image.

He swapped positions with a Mirror Image, and eleven Mirror Images remained; when the Time Stop ended they scattered in all directions, widening the distance. The Bloody Valkyrie's figure flickered back and forth, each appearance slaying a Mirror Image, quickly halving them.

Suddenly, a Mirror Image appeared on the dragon corpse, producing a soul stone.

This is Lei Si Lin's true body!

"How dare you!"

Wa Er Ji Ya instantly understood Lei Si Lin's intent, her eyes blazing as she let out a feral roar; the sound wave formed a visible shockwave, slashing toward the dragon corpse on the ground.

But she was too far away.

Lei Si Lin calmly harvested the ancient red dragon's dragon soul, then withdrew his hand, paused the Endless Storm lightly, and cast Spatial Freeze.

Wa Er Ji Ya seemed to have walked into a trap, her body bound in mid‑air, struggling to move.

Lei Si Lin cast spells consecutively.

Spells erupted from his hands: Tim Kainen Disintegrate ×3, Mind Blast, Ruby Reverse Ray, chained ultra‑effective flame explosion, Meteor Burst, Disintegrate, Annihilation Sphere… Within six seconds, a full ten Nine-ring Techniques were unleashed in rapid succession.

Level 29 Lei Si Lin cast the Nine-ring Technique as easily as drinking water, all nearly instant.

Wa Er Ji Ya could move within the Spatial Freeze, and her speed was not slow, but to Lei Si Lin she was like a snail—a mere spell target.

Every spell hit her.

However, Wa Er Ji Ya evaded the three most threatening Greater Disintegrates and Reverse Rays, none of which could shatter her armor or Killing God Spear; even death spells failed, clearly due to the Lord of Darkness's blessing.

Instead, damaging spells wounded her.

But it was not fatal; once the Spatial Freeze ended, she regained freedom, ignored her injuries, and rushed to Lei Si Lin's side.

The Killing God Spear struck the Spatial Barrier again, its tip cracking it.

"Trouble."

Lei Si Lin said softly, wielded Endless Storm, but his spell target was not Wa Er Ji Ya—it was a Mirror Image of himself far away.

That Mirror Image also cast, performing a Spatial Shift.

The Mirror Image swapped places with Wa Er Ji Ya, moving her far away, out of Lei Si Lin's reach. At that moment, Lei Si Lin's casting completed.

Space shift!

This space, tens of meters in diameter, flipped, and Valkyrie disappeared.

She was thrown to the 435th layer of the distant bottomless Abyss; unless a spellcaster helps her, she cannot return to the Prime Material Plane in her lifetime.

This move was learned by Reslin from Augulevi Master; Valkyrie should ideally be thrown to the celestial realm, where she could never return, but Space Shift requires setting up a rune formation at the destination beforehand. Reslin has never been to the celestial realm, so he could only throw her into the bottomless Abyss.

After the battle ends, there will be plenty of time to deal with her.

"Watch out!"

Athena above suddenly shouted a warning.

Reslin also sensed the danger; an enemy appeared behind him, and the moment they appeared, they sealed off the space. This sealing method was not a spell but a strange 'air current', similar to a physical structure, that entangled the locked-on target.

This prevented Reslin from teleporting away in time; even the Key of Doors was useless.

An apparently ordinary fist struck Reslin's space barrier, instantly unleashing unimaginable force.

Pop!

The space barrier collapsed, leaving Reslin completely exposed to that fist.
