"Enough talk, your Talent is best suited for scouting the situation inside the instance pathway," Zefina glanced at Oriel, "let's go."
Her eyes brimmed with a fierce fighting spirit.
"I'll draw the enemy's attention."
-----------------
Boom!!!
With a thunderous explosion, Zefina's bloodied figure was sent flying out of the pathway entrance, skidding across the ground before barely managing to stand upright.
Oriel appeared out of nowhere, supporting her, her face showing concern.
"I'm fine," Zefina took a deep breath, swiftly recovering, "I used the second Talent Effect the moment I left."
She lifted her head, looking at the still-dark whirlpool entrance to the pathway, her expression extremely grave.
With the Extraordinary Value of a Spiritual Beast at the Epic Rank, she was able to exchange blows with the Epic Rank strength of the Crystal Clan inside the instance pathway, utilizing the advantage of her Gold Talent to successfully and completely kill several members of the Crystal Clan, among which was even a Healer of the Crystal Clan.
But the sudden appearance of a Legend Rank Crystal Clan took her by surprise.
At this stage, she had no chance of defeating it.
After only a round of combat, the severely injured Zefina had no choice but to use her second Talent of Avoiding Disease to save her life and retreat from the contested entrance of the instance pathway.
"Spirit Descent..." Zefina's expression darkened slightly.
She had already touched upon that threshold, was she still falling short...
"Step~"
A light footstep sounded, coming from the instance pathway entrance.
Zefina's pupils shrank as she lifted her head to look at the man with a delicate face, pale complexion, and indifferent demeanor, step by step walking out of the pathway.
This was the opponent who had just dealt her a heavy blow.
"Attack!!!"
With a mighty shout, countless large-scale weapons that were ready, along with attacks from numerous Transcendents, rained down on the man emerging from the pathway like a storm.
A hint of mockery flickered in the man's Purple Crystal-like eyes.
He didn't speak, yet an invisible will swept across the entire area.
"The newly emerged Clan called humanity, is this all the strength you possess?"
Simultaneously, the man raised the end of his Magic Wand to the ground with a remarkably elegant gesture.
An invisible wave swept out, causing all incoming attacks to explode in a burst as they met an invisible barrier like sinking into mud, ten meters around him.
The wild Wind blew away the flames and smoke, and the Crystal Clan man who stepped out of it did not even have the hem of his garments flutter in the slightest.
"Damn!" Zefina's eyes were full of rage and frustration.
Too fast.
Previously, when Dalaisai appeared inside the pathway, it had taken a full three hours.
Why could this guy do it so quickly?!
They hadn't even managed to gain time for the Transcendents of Yanhuang Country to come to their aid!
"I am the Duke of Lamenting, Kamil."
The Crystal Clan man walked toward everyone step by step, his luxurious Magic Wand slowly lifting.
Energy imbued with an extremely destructive aura quickly gathered at the tip of the Wand, transforming into a terrifying fireball with a kilometer diameter in the blink of an eye, resembling a Blazing sun ejecting a heart-stopping heat and radiance, the mere leakage of which caused those with weaker strength to spurt flames from their bodies and collapse screaming.
"Now, wail! Perish!"
"This wonderful world will no longer belong to you!"
Kamil let out a high cry, rapidly dropping the Wand in his hand.
The sun-like fireball also plummeted with it, its power convincing anyone that once it exploded, none present would be spared.
Zefina looked at the fireball that completely dominated her vision, the terrifying heat causing the light before her eyes to twist, and, holding a Lady's Sword, charged forward without a moment's hesitation.
"Ha!"
She let out a low battle cry, golden light erupting into the sky as if calling to all the Light Elements around her, drawing them toward her in a dazzling golden sword trail.
This was a full-powered strike at the Epic Rank level, with a formidable force enough to terrify the heart, but it seemed incredibly tiny in front of the enormous fireball.
"It's useless," Kamil said indifferently, "The power disparity between us is like clouds in the sky compared to the mud beneath our feet, you…"
His words were suddenly cut off.
"Buzz—"
A deep buzzing sound instantly swept through the air, and in another explosive surge, a golden sword's trace split the fireball before it in two, like the parting of the heavens.
Bursts of firelight transformed into an endless rain of flames falling upon the earth, and Kamil watched the short-haired girl clad in golden armor, holding a long sword, his expression shifting slightly.
"So this is your humans' 'Spirit Descent'?" Kamil lifted his magic wand again, "Rumors prove to be true, indeed it is a rather troublesome power."
As the number of beings of Heavenly Dome Rank arriving on Blue Star gradually increased, the clans of the Heavenly Dome Rank began to understand a bit more about this new clan that had yet to ascend to their rank.
"Fortunately, this power cannot fully manifest at the level of the Heavenly Dome Rank." Kamil's wand bloomed with a terrifying light, "Now, let me take a good look at the strongest power you can unleash when you have the home-field advantage!"
Accompanied by Kamil's low shout, innumerable sparks converged instantly, like a vast ocean, surging towards Zefina who had just harnessed 'Spirit Descent'.
Zefina pursed her lips slightly.
She could feel the immense power she now possessed, far surpassing her previous strength.
So this is 'Spirit Descent'...
Sadly, she still had a substantial gap with the Crystal Clan before her.
Legend Rank spanned a tremendous range of strength.
The concept of 'Spirit Descent' allowing one to surpass a rank was vague; defeating weaker beings of Legend Rank and challenging the peak of Legend Rank clearly did not bear the same difficulty.
If her current opponent were just a weaker being of Legend Rank, Zefina was confident that she could stand her ground.
But Kamil was obviously not one of the weaker ones.
A fierce will to fight sparkled in her completely transformed golden eyes.
No matter what, she must hold on until the rescue from Yanhuang Country arrived!
"Ha!" Shouting with all her might, Zefina gripped her long sword tightly, behind her a pair of radiant golden wings unfolded, and without hesitation, she launched an attack on her opponent.
Two forces on par with Legend Rank collided in an instant, forcing bystanders to retreat a great distance to avoid the repercussions of their battle.
They watched the central ring of combat nervously, involuntarily clenching their fists.
Could she win?
"Boom!!!"
Amidst a roaring explosion, Zefina's figure was sent flying backward, crashing through several high rises before embedding into the external wall of another, sending out spider-web-like cracks all around.
"To have injured me, you're quite a respectable adversary."
Standing in the void, Kamil patched the broken crystals onto a shallow wound on his shoulder, "As a reward, I'll use my strongest strike to send you from this world."
He lifted his wand high, and within the brilliant flames, a fierce-looking Elemental Spirit opened its eyes, as if it were about to break free from the fire.
Zefina wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her gaze extremely solemn as she faced her opponent.
She could feel it, an attack she could not possibly withstand, no matter what.
The next moment, Zefina's expression suddenly froze.
"Crack—"
A hand shrouded in greyish-black mist pierced through Kamil's chest from behind and grasped a more splendid, intact crystal core within the shattered crystalline body.
The Elemental Spirit in the sky roared out in unwillingness, instantaneously dispersing into a fiery rain that exploded away.
Kamil's pupils shrank dramatically, turning his head to look at the figure cloaked in a Black Robe who had appeared so abruptly behind him, his face showing disbelief, "You?!"
The greyish-black mist surged into the Crystal Clan Core, causing the originally magnificent Crystal Core to instantly dim. Kamil's crystalline body shattered piece by piece, like porcelain, his delicately featured face filled with unwillingness.
"Embracing an ominous rebellion, you will never have…"
Before Kamil could finish, the hand holding the Crystal Core slammed heavily onto what remained of his head, smashing it to pieces.
Watching the being who had easily defeated her effortlessly killed, Zefina couldn't help but swallow hard.
The next instant, she felt goosebumps all over.
The figure in the Black Robe looked at her, flashing a terrifyingly hideous smile.
In just a moment, Zefina felt countless wails and screams echoing madly in her mind.
