Chapter 799: The Advantage Is Mine

Soul-Eating Slash!

Lei En has had this Legend Grade weapon for three months and has already mastered it completely.

Its most powerful attack is the Soul-Eating Slash, which consumes stamina to unleash countless fine sword qi; each strand is extremely sharp and contains Spider Queen Ros's soul‑eating power, so any hit pierces the body and gnaws the soul, causing excruciating pain.

After some research, Lei En combined the weapon with his Element and fashioned two attack methods.

The first move remains the Soul-Eating Slash, but infused with Thunder Flame. The original gray‑white sword qi turns into countless tiny blue‑white bolts, forming Thunder Flame sword qi, which adds high temperature, ferocity and paralysis to the three existing deadly toxins, making its killing effect even stronger.

The second move merges with the Thunder Slash.

Thunder Slash is a sudden burst of intense thunder power, with Thunder Flame gathering on the blade, slashing toward the target like an Electric Flash Teleport.

Previously, Lei En used the Titanium Holy Sword to unleash Thunder Slash; after switching to the Soul-Eating Blade, its power is greater, speed faster, and it also carries the Soul-Eating Slash effect.

Each of the two techniques has its own advantage.

The Soul-Eating Slash has a wider attack range and can be used at will; the Thunder Slash attacks faster, catches foes off guard, and deals higher damage to a single enemy.

At this moment, Lei En releases the first move, the Soul-Eating Slash.

Thunder Flame sword qi fans out, whistling like wind; dazzling blue‑white light instantly blankets a vast area, enveloping the Apocalypse Knight Mogura.

Mogura was swinging his sword at Yizite, completely unaware of Lei En's arrival.

In its understanding, aside from Korstted, no one could teleport or use spatial displacement spells within Fu Kong Cheng, so it was caught off guard and was struck by the Soul-Eating Slash.

Hoo‑hoo‑hoo…

The sword qi slices through space, emitting a sharp, piercing sound.

Mogura shows no hint of panic; golden flames flicker in his right eye, and an oval Holy Light shield expands around his body like an eggshell. The razor‑sharp sword qi strikes the shield as gently as a breeze, causing no ripple.

Within the shield, Mogura remains completely unharmed.

Holy Shield Technique!

Lei En shakes his head inwardly; after acquiring the Holy Blood Amber, he has a deep understanding of Holy Light power and Divine Technique, and the Holy Shield Technique is one of the most renowned among them.

Sun Knights above Legend Grade all know this move.

Once the Holy Shield is activated, it can block any form of attack damage; for six seconds it is virtually unbreakable by brute force, only dispellable or removable.

The "Absolute Holy Shield" that comes with the Holy Blood Amber is the ultimate version of the Holy Shield Technique, even deities find it hard to break.

Lei En can dispel magic, but does not expect his spells to dispel Mogura's Holy Shield; there is a ten‑level gap between them, making spells hard to take effect.

However, the Holy Shield Technique has a drawback.

Once activated, the user cannot attack the enemy, as if trapped in a cage; movement speed drops sharply, and Sun Knights lacking sufficient mastery must remain stationary.

Mogura was a Divine Grace Knight in life, so his proficiency with the Holy Shield Technique is naturally extremely high.

But his speed is inevitably affected.

Lei En does not rush to strike; seizing the chance, he unleashes his full power, spreading a pair of massive metal wings behind him, each feather encircled by lightning.

A set of simple yet imposing armor clads his body, triggering all enchantments; Titanic Divine Power expands his form outward by a meter to reach four meters; simultaneously he enters Infinite Rage, his eyes bloodshot, muscles bulging with throbbing veins; his massive heart pounds like war drums, sending plasma‑like blood through his veins, coursing the whole body, while thick bolts of lightning erupt across his skin; a melodious song emanates around his head, and the battle music begins.

Titanic Power Armor!

Titanic Divine Power!

Infinite Rage!

Elephantine Electric Power!

Battle Music!

The five power‑amplification effects stack, causing Lei En's strength to surge wildly, instantly jumping from Level 15 to Level 18, and continuing to rise—the longer the battle, the stronger he becomes.

This is still not Lei En's limit.

If he also draws the Thunder God's Hammer and triggers the Thunder God's Fury, he is confident that at the battle's peak his power can reach Level 20!

"Level 18 power is enough,"

Lei En lifts the Thunder War Hammer and Soul-Eating Blade in his hands, fixing his gaze on Mogura.

In this state he is like a deity descended to earth.

A terrifying aura of power erupts like a tsunami, enveloping the heads of the surrounding Zor warriors, making their souls tremble.

Even Yizite's eyes widen in shock, and he instinctively steps back a few paces.

Only Mogura, the Apocalypse Knight, has eyes as calm as an ancient well—cold, indifferent, with no ripple at all.

He has long lost emotion, yet his reaction is swift; he swings his oddly‑shaped great sword, the sun on the blade's spine emitting a wicked, dim glow, while his armor flows with sacred Holy Light power, and Divine Techniques cascade rapidly, amplifying his strength and defense.

Similarly, a pair of wings spreads behind Mogura.

But his wings are half holy, half evil, composed entirely of two opposite energies, yet achieving perfect balance.

At this moment, the Holy Shield Technique's duration ends.

Boom!

In an instant, Lei En swings the Soul-Eating Blade to execute a Thunder Slash, his giant‑sized body turning into a brilliant sword qi that slashes toward Mogura.

The slash is so fast that the Zors cannot even follow it with their eyes.

In the next heartbeat, they hear a deafening roar, as if metal had collided, and countless lightning, Holy Light, and death energies intertwine, causing an explosion.

Amid the blast wave, a figure is hurled like a cannonball, crashing into Fu Kong Cheng's wall and punching a huge hole.

The Zors stare dumbfounded.

Every interior structure of Fu Kong Cheng is protected by magical wards, making it extremely hard to damage.

The massive energy nodes are as solid as iron; not even a single brick on the ground can be pried out, as if cast as one.

The Zors' disheveled resistance to the sweeping shockwave finally reveals at the explosion's core a towering giant figure, one hand gripping a hammer, the other a sword, the metal wings behind gently vibrating, surrounded by golden lightning, his aura vast as a deity.

It is Lei En.

So the one that was blasted away earlier was the Apocalypse Knight Mogura.

"Lord, you are too powerful!"

Long live the City Lord!

The Zuoers cheered inside, as the massive pressure that had been bearing down on Yizite suddenly eased, and they continued to wipe out the endless Undead Army.

Only Yizite's face showed no trace of joy.

Lei En's expression was also stern; he turned back to Yizite and said, "Destroy the energy node as soon as possible; I'll deal with him."

Before he finished speaking, a beam of light shot out from a hole in the wall and flashed past his eye.

The light landed behind Lei En, revealing Mogula's figure.

Flash Step!

Lei En didn't look back; a mind leap created distance.

Almost the same instant he left, Mogula's bizarre great sword slashed down, death energy spewing out, coalescing into a sword shadow dozens of meters long, like a massive wall striking the ground.

Boom—

The entire hall shuddered violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Countless death energy swept the surroundings, wiping out hundreds of Undead Army; the aftershock struck the Zuoers and the Thundercast Celestial Soldier. Even though the Thundercast Celestial Soldier promptly formed a resisting field together, it still shattered instantly like an eggshell.

The Thundercast Celestial Soldier was knocked to the ground at once, and half of the Zuoers behind them were seriously wounded.

Fortunately, the various spells cast before battle, the potions taken, and three or four scrolls took effect immediately, emitting rays of light that swiftly healed the wounds.

"Retreat!"

The Thundercast Celestial Soldiers quickly rose, and the leading captain shouted loudly.

They possess iron bodies, their physical condition far surpassing the Zuoers; the battle aftershocks only gave them minor injuries, yet the Zuoers could not hold out—this place is too dangerous.

Yizite also ordered in Dark Elf tongue, "You retreat outside; I will carry out the mission."

The Zuoers dared not delay any longer.

They hurriedly followed the Thundercast Celestial Soldier out of the energy node hall, carving a bloody path through the Undead Army, and when they looked back, a deep charred trench scarred the floor—exactly where the Apocalypse Knight Mogula had just slashed.

The trench resembled an Abyss, endless death energy gushing out and spreading outward.

The hall's floor was covered with a layer of ashen white, the evil aura nauseating, turning it into a Withered Land.

The Undead Army that were teleported onto this desecrated ground fell as if into a pool of sulfuric acid, instantly drained of all life; their corpses seemed weathered by centuries, leaving only a wisp of ash.

Only Mogula himself remained unaffected.

He is a Death Knight; the Withered Land can feed back to him, amplifying his strength and defense, continuously replenishing his soul energy.

Clang!

A booming crack rang as Lei En's Soul-Eating Blade struck Mogula's bizarre great sword, unleashing a burst of savage energy that shattered the surrounding Withered Land, only for it to instantly recover.

Mogula was blasted away.

Lei En flashed forward, swung his hammer down, but it struck only air.

Mogula's Flash Step was masterfully refined; it is an application of Holy Light power, neither a spell nor a Divine Technique, immune to anti‑magic fields, with virtually no gap—so long as Holy Light remains, it can be used continuously.

The speed of Flash Step was like true light.

Lei En suppressed Mogula in several direct clashes, yet could not turn the fight decisive with a single lethal blow.

Conversely, Mogula could, while battling him, also prevent Yizite from breaking the energy node's magical shield, effectively fighting on two fronts with ease. If he hadn't also possessed three forms of teleportation to chase and rescue in time, Yizite would already have been slain.

This made Lei En feel as if his punch landed in empty space, which was rather uncomfortable.

He glanced at the time; two and a half minutes remained.

"We can't delay any longer."

Lei En instantly changed tactics, ceasing the pursuit of Mogula; his wings flared, and he became a bolt of lightning descending toward the Bone Altar, raising his Thunder Hammer overhead and slamming down with force.

He intended to personally destroy the energy node's shield.

Boom—

The simultaneously enlarged Thunder Hammer unleashed countless lightning bolts onto the altar, a semi‑transparent shield materializing and being indented by the impact.

The energy node was linked to the hall's rune circuitry; instantly, the runes etched on the floor and walls flickered wildly, the entire Bone Altar quivered, and the shield surged violently—just a few more hammer blows and it would collapse.

Mogula naturally would not let Lei En destroy the energy node.

The instant Lei En's hammer fell, he appeared behind him with a horizontal sword slash. Meanwhile, Yizite emerged behind Mogula, his twin blades slashing at the neck.

Lei En's hammer swing was hard to retract.

He didn't flash away; instead, he turned to face the enemy, allowing himself to be cut.

Bang!

Lei En's chest armor was pierced, the bizarre great sword cut across his torso, clang—numerous sparks flew, his second‑tier titanium‑golden body's defense shattered, spilling golden‑colored blood, and his entire body was hurled off the altar.

Almost the same instant, Yizite's war blade also struck Mogula.

The towering Flame Demon's power erupted fully; the war blade pierced the Holy Light barrier and armor, embedding deep in the neck but becoming lodged.

Mogula let out a muffled hum, finally taking a serious wound.

This slowed his reaction by half a step.

In midair, Lei En locked onto Mogula and swung a thunder slash; a whistling sound, his body and sword transformed into a massive sword aura that sliced back.

Mogula couldn't dodge; the Soul-Eating Blade pierced his chest, the tip exiting through his back.

The Soul-Eating Blade, enlarged by Titan divine power, was over two meters long, nearly cleaving Mogula in two, while Soul‑Eating power erupted!

Mogula's eyes flickered briefly, but showed no sign of pain.

He stared coldly at the nearby Lei En, swinging a sword backward toward Lei En's throat; Lei En, having anticipated, raised his war hammer to block, deflecting the bizarre great sword.

This hammer strike seemed spontaneous, but was premeditated, using his full strength.

A faint glow flickered on the hammer head; a seventh‑level Destruction critical hit triggered.

By this point in the battle, Lei En's power was near level nineteen, and with the seven‑fold boost from the Destruction critical, even with Mogula's Withered Land empowerment, the gap between their strengths was enormous.

A loud blast.

The odd-shaped greatsword was knocked flying!

Mogela had both hands empty, his right arm shattered inch by inch, but Lei En's war hammer couldn't be retracted in time, so he simply used his head as a hammerhead and slammed it into his opponent's forehead.

Bang!

Bang bang bang...

After three consecutive headbutts, Mogela, who wasn't wearing a helmet to begin with and whose defense was far inferior to Lei En's, was instantly left dazed and seeing stars. This was still thanks to the protection of the undead will; otherwise, anyone else would have been pulverized by Lei En with just a single blow.

The flames in Mogela's eyes grew ever dimmer.

Lei En was about to smash his head with a hammer when Mogela suddenly turned into a beam of light and vanished.

He turned his head and saw Mogela appear in the corner of the hall.

His body glowed with light, sweeping from head to toe, instantly healing all his wounds—his chest closed, the injuries on his neck and the nearly flattened head restored to perfect condition. He had picked up the odd-shaped greatsword that lay beneath the altar while fleeing and now gripped it again.

Holy Healing Technique!

Lei En recognized it at once and immediately felt a headache.

This is the most troublesome aspect of the Divine Grace Knight: after great effort beating the opponent to the brink of death, a single Holy Healing Technique makes them bounce back to full vigor.

But Lei En wasn't in a hurry; as long as the energy node remained here, Mogela would be passive everywhere.

What's more, it's two against one, and the advantage is mine!
