“Be careful? No, Xi?” Upon seeing ‘An Xin’, even Leticia froze for a moment before realizing that it must be Xi controlling An Xin’s body.
Xi nodded, “This is the only way if I want to help you.”
Someone had to carry her here, and only she herself had a high chance of success in invading the monster’s domain.
Not every god could do this; for example, Infino couldn’t.
Specialization, after all, Xi had fought monsters a long time ago. Back then, she must have also claimed the monster’s storm as her own, just like she was doing now.
“But this girl’s body is worse than I imagined, I can only help you this much. The monster’s true form can only be dealt with by you,” Xi said helplessly, looking at the monster in the distance that seemed to have completely lost its mind. “I take back my words, this guy should have had some reason just now, but now, it’s completely gone.”
Seeing its long-time enemy that had sealed it for so long, the hatred surging in the monster’s heart quickly overwhelmed the fear of being defeated once. Its brain was completely occupied by the thought of revenge.
Rumbling, the monster moved its huge body, crushing towards Xi step by step.
“Alright, leave the rest to us,” Leticia took a deep breath. If they could defeat the monster’s true form, it didn’t seem impossible.
On the monster’s face, the sword wound left by Bai Ling had not yet healed. The starlight flowing from the wound seemed to be hindering the monster’s recovery, indicating that Bai Ling’s attack was indeed effective.
Before, Bai Ling couldn’t harm the monster’s true form due to the obstruction of the black tentacles. Now that the black tentacles had disappeared, Bai Ling could go all out.
As expected, Bai Ling had already rushed out and was entangled with the monster.
However, the damage caused by her blade cutting into the monster was still insignificant. The wounds left behind healed quickly. Even without the storm’s assistance, the monster’s raw strength was still there.
“I remember the monster’s weakness seems to be its head, right?” Leticia pointed her magic sword at the monster’s head, intending to unleash a mixed divine and magic cannonball.
The monster immediately sensed Leticia’s intention. While entangling Bai Ling with its tentacles, it extended several thin tentacles and fired several dark beams at Leticia.
Leticia had to change her chanting, forcefully transforming the offensive magic into defensive magic.
This guy’s reaction is really fast, there’s no way to sneak attack it. While blocking the monster’s attack with a magic shield, Leticia cursed inwardly.
Even though Sasha and the aircraft that brought Xi had also joined the battle, the monster didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage at all. Its countless tentacles danced with great vigor, even suppressing the few of them.
“These tentacles are too hard, they can’t be damaged at all!” Sasha shouted. Although she had mentally prepared herself not to be the main attacker, she didn’t expect that she couldn’t even complete the task of entanglement.
Her divine arts barely had any effect when thrown at the tentacles, only leaving slight scorched marks, which disappeared quickly.
As for the white dove that kept flying around and shooting lasers in the sky, please ignore it. It was not a combat type in the first place.
Bai Ling’s expression was also a little solemn. These tentacles were much harder to deal with than the black energy tentacles. The black tentacles shattered with a single cut, while her normal attacks couldn’t even injure these tentacles.
If she wanted to charge up, the monster wouldn’t give her a chance. As soon as Bai Ling intended to charge up, those tentacles would immediately swarm forward, attacking Bai Ling desperately.
These things not only had strong defense but also abnormally high attack power. With Bai Ling’s almost zero defense, being hit once would render her completely incapacitated.
Unexpectedly, even without the endless black tentacles and the help of the storm domain, the monster was still so difficult to deal with.
Leticia, seeing the battle gradually becoming a stalemate, felt that it couldn’t continue like this and something had to be done to change the situation.
Xi had said that An Xin’s body couldn’t sustain the fight, and she could only stand still and interfere with the monster’s domain.
Once the monster discovered Xi’s weakness and focused its power on a decapitation strike against Xi, their side would immediately fall into a disadvantage. Therefore, they couldn’t let the monster discover this and had to attract the monster’s attention.
“Bai, come here!” Leticia shouted loudly at Bai Ling.
Hearing Leticia’s call, Bai Ling reacted without even thinking. She repelled the tentacles surrounding her with a sword and returned to Leticia’s side.
“Have you thought of a way?”
“It’s not really a way.” Leticia shook her head. The method she thought of was actually very simple. “You just stand here and charge, aim at the monster’s head and attack, understand?”
Bai Ling looked at the monster’s huge head and nodded.
She didn’t ask what to do if the monster came to interrupt her, because she knew that Leticia, who proposed this suggestion, would have made all the preparations.
Raising her long sword, Bai Ling closed her eyes, and the familiar starry illusion appeared again.
Having suffered a big loss before, the monster naturally wouldn’t ignore the movement here. As soon as it saw the familiar starry illusion, its remaining eyes contracted simultaneously. In an instant, it gave up its entanglement with Sasha and the white dove and threw all its attacks towards Bai Ling.
If these attacks hit, there was no doubt that Bai Ling, whose body defense was insufficient, would die on the spot.
So, “If you want to hurt her, you have to get past me first!”
A barrier capable of covering half the sky unfolded, blocking all the attacks launched by the monster.
Leticia, her face pale, leaned on her magic sword. Taking so many attacks with a magic barrier at once, even with Infino’s assistance, made her legs weak and she almost fell.
But these expenditures were fruitful. Before the monster’s next attack arrived, Bai Ling completed her charge-up.
The star river, which was more condensed than the previous one, surged towards the monster, directly targeting the monster’s head.
The monster immediately wrapped its head with tentacles layer by layer. This action successfully reduced the power of the star river. Finally, after breaking several tentacles, the star river disappeared.
This strike was very effective. The tentacles used to block the star river would not be able to rejoin the battle for at least a short period of time.
However, it was not enough. Leticia wanted more than just that.
“Bai, how many more attacks like that can you unleash?”
“As long as you can hold on, I can keep cutting,” Bai Ling said, looking at the pale Leticia with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Such star river slashes were no longer a burden for her, the only thing limiting her was that she had to stand still and charge for a long time before she could unleash such a sword strike, and her enemy would not give her such an opportunity.
No fool would watch their enemy charge up in front of them without interrupting, even if they couldn’t interrupt, they could at least dodge.
Bai Ling’s star river attack trajectory was fixed once set and could not be changed. As long as her opponent moved slightly, the star river would not hit him.
Of course, the monster couldn’t dodge. Its size was too large, and being on land greatly reduced its mobility, making the monster have to directly take Bai Ling’s attack.
Similarly, Bai Ling also had to take the monster’s attack head-on, except that the attacks she had to take were blocked by Leticia.
But how long could Leticia hold on? Looking at her current state, she could only hold on for one more time at most, right?
“Can you unleash a more powerful skill? It’s okay if the charging time is longer, I can handle it,” Leticia steadied herself and asked in a low voice.
“I can try, but the probability of success…” Bai Ling shook her head with a solemn expression. She herself had not tried charging for a longer time.
The reason was simple: her body could not withstand such powerful energy. Ten seconds of charging was enough to make the energy imbued in the Star Sword approach her limit. Every additional second of charging would add uncertainty.
“Don’t talk to me about failure, I believe you can succeed,” Leticia glared fiercely at Bai Ling. “If you can’t hold on before I can’t block anymore, don’t blame me for laughing at you later.”
“Pfft, then I’ll try my best not to make you laugh at me,” Bai Ling chuckled. She suddenly felt that with Leticia by her side, there were things she could do that she couldn’t even imagine herself.
This time, her starting stance had changed. She placed the sword at her waist, and a phantom scabbard enveloped the Star Sword. Bai Ling lowered her body slightly, her hand gripping the hilt tightly.
The sword in her hand seemed like a black hole, madly devouring the surrounding energy. The energy accumulated on the sword even made Xi feel threatened.
The monster naturally wouldn’t sit still and wait for death. It keenly sensed the extraordinary nature of this attack. Even though Sasha and the white dove were bombarding its head with divine power, it paid no attention to those two annoying flies.
Raising its countless tentacles, the monster launched a torrential assault on the barrier released by Leticia.
A large number of attacks hit the barrier, causing it to flicker rapidly almost instantly.
Cracks appeared on the barrier one by one, and Leticia’s face turned even worse.
Bai Ling tightened her grip on the sword. The energy gathered on the sword already made her feel uncontrollable. She wanted to unleash this blow.
But Leticia looked back and gave Bai Ling a look that said, “I can still hold on,” telling her not to attack yet.
But she could only hold on for this wave. If this blow from Bai Ling couldn’t disable the monster, then they would be in big trouble afterwards.
Therefore, she must continue to hold on.
Golden chains shot out from Leticia’s wrist, reinforcing the barrier.
Seeing the barrier miraculously stabilize, the monster became anxious. It moved its body and rumbled towards the barrier, releasing even more powerful attacks as it approached.
The monster was also starting to fight desperately.
The barrier that had just been reinforced vibrated again, but this time it wasn’t because the barrier’s strength was insufficient, but because Leticia’s magic power was running out.
Blocking attacks with a barrier was basically using one’s magic power to consume the enemy’s energy. And with such a large monster, its energy would only be more than Leticia’s, not less.
Under the monster’s relentless attacks, Leticia’s magic power was almost depleted in an instant.
If Infino hadn’t shared some of the pressure with her, she would have collapsed by now.
Fortunately, it was about to end.
The terrifying fluctuation coming from behind made Leticia’s expression relax. Such an attack could even heavily injure a god if they were careless, couldn’t it?
Gods had the ability to dodge, but the monster didn’t!
“Bai Ling, aim precisely!” Leticia shouted.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling immediately understood that Leticia was about to give in. But that was good too. If she continued to charge, she might completely lose control of her sword.
This was the right timing.
Staring intently at the monster’s head, Bai Ling slowly drew the Star Sword. As the Star Sword was drawn from its scabbard, the entire world seemed to darken.
Bright stars appeared in the sky. The storm controlled by Xi had silently disappeared.
Xi was also stunned by the scene. She couldn’t understand why the storm domain she controlled was forcibly erased. What was going on with that girl?!
Why did this starry domain give her such a familiar feeling?
Leticia didn’t think about it further. Bai Ling always had some special effects when unleashing her ultimate moves, she was used to it. So this time, she naturally regarded this starry space as Bai Ling’s ultimate move effect.
“Shatter!” She muttered softly, and the barrier between her and the monster shattered with a bang. The power of the barrier’s explosion dispersed a wave of the monster’s attacks.
In the explosion’s flames, ethereal golden chains shot out rapidly and entangled the monster’s body before it could react, temporarily incapacitating it.
With the restraint of divine artifacts, even the monster would take a little time to break free.
Two seconds, this was Infino’s estimated time. Those shadow chains could hold for two seconds.
And that was enough.
Aiming at the monster’s head, Bai Ling, holding the Star Sword which even she felt was immensely heavy, swung her sword down.
Sound disappeared, light disappeared.
Brilliant starlight erupted from Bai Ling’s sword, accurately hitting the monster’s head. The monster’s proud defense was completely ineffective. The starlight pierced through its large head, shot out from the back of its head, and rushed towards the infinite sky.
A few seconds later, the starlight disappeared, and sound and other lights resumed normal.
The monster, its brain pierced, took a few steps back. It seemed to want to do something, but in the end, it couldn’t control its body any longer and fell heavily to the ground.
