Chapter 291 - 277: The Identity of Black Robe! (Two in One)
"Crack—"
Zefina shifted her body, and large chunks of debris peeled off from the wall, densely covered in cracks, following her movement.
The bright golden wings reappeared, allowing her to extricate herself from the deep indent in the wall.
Flapping her wings, Zefina hung suspended in the air. Ignoring the stabbing pain from within, she took a deep breath and fixed her gaze firmly on the Black Robe standing in the void before her.
The opponent didn't continue to attack but merely held the Crystal Core, silently standing in place.
But the screams echoing in her mind and the image of Legend Rank Kamil being instantly killed were a constant reminder to Zefina of how terrifying the foe before her was.
Ultimately, the light from the Crystal Core completely dimmed, turning incredibly dull before, just like Kamil's body, shattering completely in the hands of the Black Robe.
The Black Robe tilted his head back slightly, and beneath the hood, his face bearing a fierce smile was exposed to the sunlight.
A moment later, he uttered a sinister laugh.
"Boom boom boom boom boom—"
A terrifying presence soared into the sky, and the mere leakage of it oppressed the surrounding void, creating a low rumble of sonic booms.
At this instant, Zefina felt as if she were falling into hell, chilled to the bone.
The opponent's strength seemed to have transcended the boundary of Legend Rank, reaching an even more dreadful level.
Her wings felt incredibly heavy, and even flapping them was incredibly difficult, as though someone was choking her, leaving her feeling utterly suffocated.
The Black Robe swept a casual glance at Zefina and then turned to leave.
"Stop!" Zefina gritted her teeth, tightly clutching her long sword and flew towards him.
The Black Robe paused, and from beneath his cloak, a hand pale as a corpse's extended out.
"Boom!!!"
In the next moment, the long sword in Zefina's hand, which was of Purple Equipment rank, shattered in response, and she was sent flying backward, crashing through several tall buildings before being buried in the ruins, her fate unknown.
Zefina, whose strength under Spirit Descent had reached the Legend Rank, couldn't even withstand a single blow from the Black Robe.
At this scene, countless Transcendents turned pale with changes of expression, showing looks of despair on their faces.
Could they still await reinforcements from Yanhuang Country?
Even if reinforcements arrived, could they truly contend with such a formidable opponent?
Having flung Zefina away with a single blow, the Black Robe, as if he'd done something trivial, lifted his foot and walked toward the void once more.
Just at that moment, a low shout rapidly approached.
"I said… stop right there!"
"Boom!!!"
A radiant golden figure burst out from the ruins, her aura surging into the sky, chasing after the Black Robe without hesitation.
The Black Robe stopped again, turning his head to look at Zefina, who'd recovered from all injuries and even returned to the peak of her power, the ferocious smile on his face showing a trace of surprise for the first time.
Zefina was silent, flapping her wings and coming to a halt a kilometer in front of the Black Robe, gripping another piece of gold-shield equipment in her hand, her expression grave as she stared at him.
Thanks to her Talent Effect, she had instantly restored her injuries and expended energy.
But such a tactic, she could only use once.
Because Talent could not be used in reality.
She had used her only instance attempt for the day to retreat, just to accomplish this.
The opponent was someone she absolutely could not defeat.
So what she could do was merely to delay time.
Until Luo arrived.
Zefina's grip on the shield tightened.
If there was anyone in the world who could deal with this terrifying fellow, the only person she could think of was Luo.
Hope, there was still time...
Suddenly feeling a chill all over, Zefina's pupils constricted. Without seeing any action from the Black Robe, she was struck as if by a speeding train, hit by an unimaginable force that rendered her powerless, and she was blasted out tens of thousands of meters away.
"Cough cough—"
Zefina's trembling body barely stabilized in the void, and when she looked up again, her pupils constricted once more.
Because in the void ahead, the Black Robe's figure was no longer there.
He...
Zefina suddenly felt a chill on her back and swiftly turned around; however, before she could make out what was behind her, a cold hand had already pressed against her face.
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a shockwave rippling through the void, Zefina plummeted like a meteor, crashing heavily onto the earth and stirring up a large cloud of dust while causing the surrounding high-rise buildings to collapse.
The Black Robe stared down, his smile growing increasingly fierce. He slowly lifted the hand that had just grasped Zefina, and a grey-black energy orb brimming with ominous aura, draining the surrounding area of its Extraordinary Power, suddenly coalesced.
The grey-black energy burst forth silently, bombarding the ruins and the dust below like heavy artillery, darkening even the sky and earth with its onslaught.
As the grey-black energy hit the ground and exploded the next instant, a rapidly expanding energy hemisphere engulfed everything around it, the terrifying energy storm sweeping through the entire city.
The Black Robe's mouth, stretched to his cheeks with a malicious grin, showed a frenzied gleam in his eyes.
He opened his mouth wide to reveal densely packed sharp teeth, about to let out a laugh, but the next moment his smile gradually subsided.
"Hum—"
A deep hum rang out, and the next instant the dust in the ruins was blown away by a strong wind, revealing a calmly standing elegant figure below, looking up at the Black Robe in the sky.
With just a lift of his hand, he had already fended off the terrible force at the center of the explosion.
