Chapter 155: Stealing Light
Chapter 203: Stealing Light
A filthy black sword, cutting through the light with a trajectory that devoured its glow, struck directly at Mu Yang's face.
And the moment the sword's edge approached, the five-layered magical rune barrier that Mu Yang had condensed beforehand instantly rose.
Clang—!
The clash of metal was deafening!
Darkness and scorching golden-red light collided violently, and a visible energy wave spread outwards from the black sword and the shield, shattering the remaining glass in the church.
The first strike did not achieve the expected result, which added a hint of dissatisfaction to pseudo-yang's face.
So it continued its offensive, the distorted sword shadow slashing out large swaths of black mist with corrosive energy properties, attempting to wear down the five-layered shield formed by fire and light elements.
But the most basic energy attrition is a confrontation based on elemental purity; even with the added corrosive properties, the black mist could not break through Mu Yang's shield.
Therefore, even though it was corroded by the black mist, and the shield emitted a timely "sizzling" corrosive sound, the first layer of the precarious shield still did not shatter, only its light dimmed slightly.
And just before the black mist dissipated, Mu Yang formed a sword-finger with his hand and lightly traced it across the front.
Accompanied by the sound of swords being drawn, several terrifying light-flame sword qi rose from the ground.
The sword qi easily tore through the black shadow, shattered the church walls, and finally dissipated into the darkness.
Mu Yang's gaze returned to the dark corners of the church; pseudo-yang's true form was no longer there, but Mu Yang could still feel its intense malice.
pseudo-yang was like a wolf waiting for its prey to expose a weakness, eyeing him covetously from the shadows.
The battle fell into a stalemate for a time; pseudo-yang hid in the darkness, giving Mu Yang no chance to find it. Its patience was ample, and it could obtain the energy its body needed through dark elements, so even if it couldn't win, it could drag Mu Yang, this human, to death.
At this moment, the best solution seemed to be to return the way he came, back to the surface.
pseudo-yang would inevitably strike eagerly, wanting to keep Mu Yangin this environment suitable for it, rather than letting Mu Yang leave.
Thus, the goal of luring pseudo-yang to attack could be achieved.
However, Mu Yang had said so much to Roy earlier, not because he was feeling preachy, but because he was setting up the field.
As Mu Yang's thoughts moved, Power of the Sun connected with hundreds of magical runes within the church, and the originally obscure and dim runes suddenly glowed.
Golden-red light intertwined, illuminating the church with dazzling brilliance.
Then, flames rose from the runes, and Mu Yang's Power of the Sunsurged outwards like a tide, instantly transforming the darkness-shrouded fissure into a golden-red interweaving realm.
"You have shaped the 'Solar Realm'. Within this boundary, the concentration of fire and light elements increases by 40%, and the concentration of water, dark, ice, and other elements decreases by 30%—"
The darkness was dispelled, and pseudo-yang's figure was immediately revealed.
Mu Yang's gaze sharpened, and several more runes instantly condensed, sending chains of light and flame grasping towards pseudo-yang.
pseudo-yang's gaze was calm, and with a slight clench of its right hand, the darkness behind it instantly transformed into a dense black liquid that enveloped it. The chains of light and flame were swallowed by the black liquid, severing their connection with Mu Yang.
"A liquid that can directly swallow runes?"
Mu Yang's eyes showed a hint of interest. If the black liquid truly had this function, it would undoubtedly be the bane of mages.
Runes are considered the foundation of magic; although some schools don't require runes, they have other things to replace them.
If the foundation of magic is gone, then a mage is no different from being crippled. What use is a mage who can't cast spells? Even close-combat mages need spells!
If pseudo-yang's treasure chest could drop it, that would truly be a huge gain.
As Mu Yang was pondering, pseudo-yang, enveloped in black liquid, suddenly raised the black sword in its hand. The liquid, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, surged into its body.
"I have to admit, you truly have great potential. Both Roy and I have a better chance of ascending to godhood."
A hint of regret appeared on pseudo-yang's face. Mu Yang's talent was far stronger than Roy's, but it couldn't change bodies again in a short amount of time.
Moreover, even Roy, who had been influenced by its delusions since childhood, took decades to barely succeed, and there were still lingering remnants of his soul, which greatly reduced the strength of Roy's body.
If it were Mu Yang, it felt it would be lucky not to be Anti-phagocytosis(counter-devoured). The other party was clearly not someone willing to have his body taken away; it estimated he would choose to perish together at the last second of success.
Mu Yang showed no reaction to pseudo-yang's words, merely accumulating power silently, while pseudo-yang, seemingly spouting nonsense, was also buying time.
The world once again fell silent, but the faintly trembling ground indicated that things were not so simple.
And when their gazes suddenly met, both launched their attacks simultaneously.
"Black Sun"
"Ascending Radiance"
An overwhelming sea of light and a black wave collided, and the tottering church let out its final lament, then collapsed under the unbearable weight.
But the flying dust did not interfere with the two. pseudo-yangsuddenly threw the black sword in its hand, which transformed into a streak of light piercing towards Mu Yang's face.
A great sword condensed in an instant. Mu Yang swung the broad, thick blade to strike the incoming black sword, knocking it away.
"Black Flash"
A black light flashed in pseudo-yang's eyes, then its figure vanished from its original spot again, and the next moment it reappeared beside Mu Yang, gripping the black sword.
"Die!"
pseudo-yang's roar and the sound of the black sword tearing through the air reached Mu Yang's ears simultaneously.
The black sword was enveloped in dense, filthy black blood; the viscous darkness, like a living thing, seemed to shriek with thirst, wanting to greedily suck Mu Yang's flesh and blood.
The icy aura of death penetrated the energy pressure and barrier, piercing directly into Mu Yang's mind.
A sense of crisis pressed on his nerves, proving that pseudo-yang's strike was enough to threaten his life, even easily cut off his head.
The barrier failed to play any role at this moment, because the instant the black sword's edge touched the barrier, it devoured the light completely, then transformed into thick dark blood, continuing to cut towards Mu Yang.
The basic ability of the "Soul of Light Theft" was to devour light elements, and the domain was merely an afterthought in pseudo-yang's eyes, so this ability could be called the nemesis of light elements.
pseudo-yang's gaze was calm; it did not think this tricky angled strike would miss.
It had lived for so much longer than Mu Yang; even though its power was completely lost due to Roy, its development of abilities was beyond what Mu Yang could achieve.
However, just as the sword tip was about to pierce his skin, a dazzling, scorching light suddenly erupted from Mu Yang's golden eyes, as calm as a deep pool!
The scorching light contained extremely pure light elements, easily piercing through the decaying armor on pseudo-yang's body and hitting its heart. Corrosive thick smoke immediately rose from the heart.
pseudo-yang, struck by the scorching light, let out a muffled groan, but its hand movements did not stop, precisely slashing down at Mu Yang's neck.
But the moment the black sword pierced his neck, pseudo-yang's expression changed. It did not feel any sensation of piercing flesh and blood, nor did the black sword feel any satisfying sensation of devouring light.
