Chapter: Chapter 103
The deity was injured.
Not by a divine artifact that could counter her, but by a mortal who had broken through her defenses head-on.
Intense pain spread through the deity’s body. Bai Ling’s attack had indeed wounded a deity who had not been injured for countless years.
“Die, all of you, die!” The enraged deity roared and lunged at Bai Ling.
Because Leticia stood behind Bai Ling, the gem in her hand would dissolve all the deity’s mist attacks. Therefore, the deity could only engage Bai Ling in this wild manner.
“Hoo…” Bai Ling raised her sword again, and the Milky Way appeared behind her once more.
Then, the brilliant light once again struck the deity.
After facing Bai Ling’s sword light directly twice, even the deity completely lost her earlier arrogance. Her clothes had become extremely transparent, and could disappear at any moment.
Blood flowed from the corners of her mouth and nostrils, and her right arm hung limply to her side, making her look nothing like a deity.
“Scoundrel!”
“To think she still has strength.” Bai Ling’s sword-holding hand was also trembling. Releasing two sword lights consecutively was a great burden for her as well.
While she looked relatively normal now, in reality, she could hardly launch another threatening attack.
Incidentally, only two individuals could withstand her two sword lights, and both of them happened to be present.
“Throw another one, kill her!” Leticia, pale-faced, said to Bai Ling in a weak voice.
She herself had been forced to flee after being hit by two consecutive sword lights back then, and this being who called herself the Mist God was in a far better state after withstanding two sword lights compared to her back then.
This seemingly indicated that Leticia was indeed inferior to this Mist God.
She had been just one breath away from death back then, and had managed to escape back to her Demon King’s palace by sheer will.
However, the current Mist God, despite her pathetic appearance, had not suffered any significant reduction in strength.
Losing an arm was of no consequence to a deity who leaned more towards being a mage.
“I can’t,” Bai Ling shook her head. Although she had caught the Mist God off guard with two sword lights, she herself was also at her limit.
The consumption was too great.
“It seems you’ve exhausted all your tricks,” the Mist God coughed a few times and wiped away the blood from the corner of her mouth. “Even if I’m sealed again, I will make you, this blasphemer of a deity, pay a bloody price before then!”
A surge of energy erupted from within her, astonishing everyone present. The dense white mist once again enveloped the clock tower, even temporarily suppressing the golden light.
Leticia frantically injected her remaining magic power into the gem, but the gem was still a long way from being fully unsealed.
The magic power was running out!
Leticia had been on the verge of exhaustion in the previous battle. Forcing her to feed this bottomless pit of a gem now was indeed making things difficult for her.
“Sister, why don’t you let me do it.” Seizing a momentary interval, Kira had already run to Leticia’s side. Seeing that her sister’s aura had become even weaker than her own, she said quickly.
She had initially thought her sister still had enough magic power, but unexpectedly, her sister’s remaining magic power was even less than her own.
“You don’t have much magic power left either, even if you pour it all in, it won’t fill it,” Leticia refused Kira’s request. She had another method, her last resort.
“No!” Kira grabbed Leticia’s hand. “If it has to be done, it should be me.”
“You are my sister, and I can’t let my sister do something like this,” Leticia shook her head, unable to bear seeing Kira suffer even the slightest harm.
That method was far too painful.
Even she might not be able to endure it, so how could she let Kira do it?
As the elder sister, she should bear the responsibility of an elder sister at this moment.
“Qianqian, do you mean…” The Commander, looking at the two sisters arguing, was full of confusion.
Were they arguing over who would self-destruct to power the gem?
No way. The Commander didn’t want her good friend to die so soon after meeting her.
“When our magic power within our Demon race is depleted, there is a way for us to regain magic power,” Leticia pried Kira’s hand away, her eyes shining with unwavering resolve. “Burning blood, a demon’s blood is the purest magic power.”
According to research by the Demon race itself, a demon could gain magic power equivalent to their total magic power by burning blood at most.
This could indeed give a demon in dire straits the power to turn the tide, but the price was extremely heavy.
That was the blood flowing in their veins. Causing this blood to burn within their own bodies brought pain that ordinary people could not tolerate.
Moreover, it took a very long time for the lost blood to be replenished. During that period, the demon would be in an extremely weakened state.
Leticia had burned her blood once before, so she knew exactly how painful it was.
As for the price, being able to survive and lying down for ten days to half a month, what was that price?
On the other side, Bai Ling was already showing signs of fatigue under the attacks of the enraged deity. Without Leticia’s protection, her extremely vulnerable physical defense had become the biggest breakthrough point.
The Mist God had already inflicted several wounds on Bai Ling. If this continued, Bai Ling feared she wouldn’t be able to hold on.
“Sister!”
“Qi, be good,” Leticia said coldly.
“Sis…”
Leticia didn’t say anything more, as she had already gritted her teeth.
Magic power reappeared in her depleted source, pouring continuously into the golden gem, causing the light emitted by the golden gem to become increasingly powerful.
Pain, so much pain!
Only this feeling remained in Leticia’s mind. Her blood was burning, burning for her sister, burning for her friends.
Last time, it was for herself.
This time, it was for those she loved.
“Shine… shine!!!” The black-haired girl roared, as if holding a sun in her hands.
The dazzling golden light once again dispelled the mist, causing the Mist God, who was within the mist, to cry out in agony.
As if it had eaten its fill, after dispelling the mist in the room, the gem transformed into a golden beam of light and shot towards the sky enveloped by the mist.
The next moment, a sun appeared above the city.
Warm golden light dispelled the mist, making the entire city clear.
“No! No!” Under the illumination of the golden light, the Mist God writhed on the ground. Wisps of white smoke emerged from her body, as if the light was scorching her.
It’s over, it’s over.
We won…
“Sister! Sister!”
In a daze, Leticia heard her sister’s anxious voice.
But she could no longer respond. Her consciousness gradually fell into darkness, and she fell into a deep slumber.
