Chapter: Chapter 350
Letizia completely ignored the spatial lockdown that had already been cast on her. After all, the young girl’s target wasn’t her, and there was no need to counter a control skill that caused no harm.
She didn’t need any movements to cast spells; a mere thought would set her internal energy in motion, releasing the magic she desired.
A silver-gray barrier appeared around the truck in an instant, colliding with the dimensional storm used by the young girl. If this were an ordinary magic shield, it might have fallen within a short period, as dimensional storm was a space-attribute spell, and space-attribute spells had a certain counter-effect on other attribute magics.
But the barrier Letizia released? Hey, it was precisely a spatial barrier. Looking at the young girl, it was obvious she specialized in the space attribute. If Letizia had used any other shield, it would have been a crime.
Letizia didn’t want to be a master of opposing attributes; she preferred to fight strictly according to attribute counters. Anyway, she mastered enough attributes that she could always find one that made fighting easier.
“Damn it.” The dimensional storm was easily blocked by Letizia. The silver-haired girl gritted her teeth and lunged at Letizia.
If she couldn’t deal with Letizia, she wouldn’t be able to do anything to that truck.
“That’s more like it.” Facing the girl’s charge, Letizia wasn’t afraid. She gathered the remaining half of her magic and forcibly shattered the spatial lockdown on her body. “I also want to see how far my spatial magic has progressed.”
Most spatial-attribute specialist mages usually fought using their exceptional mobility and their ability to bypass normal defenses. However, the situation had changed now.
Letizia had previously cast a field magic to seal herself and the teleportation technique used by her opponent. Moreover, when space attributes clashed with space attributes, breaking through defenses wasn’t that simple. In other words, the advantages of spatial abilities were completely absent at this moment.
*Bang!* Two fists slammed into each other fiercely.
“You have quite a bit of strength,” Letizia maintained her punching stance and smiled at the girl who was now within her reach. “Are you really not considering surrendering? Your body is already crying out in pain.”
Their exchange of punches was indeed evenly matched, but Letizia knew that time was on her side. Her own aura remained stable, while the aura of her opponent had become extremely chaotic. It wouldn’t be long before this girl died on her own.
With this thought, Letizia became even more unhurried. She could even outlast this girl and make her die from exhaustion. She didn’t believe this young lady could defeat her and destroy the truck behind her in just a few minutes.
The girl didn’t reply to Letizia. She knew Letizia was right; she didn’t have much time left. Defeating this obstacle in such a short period was almost impossible.
And if she couldn’t defeat this girl, her attack on the truck would be rendered useless. That silver-gray barrier, as long as someone sustained it, couldn’t be easily broken. If she ignored this and attacked the barrier directly, her opponent would definitely twist her head off before she could break it.
She was confident in her opponent.
It seemed like a dead end. The girl gritted her teeth. She had thought sacrificing her body could destroy that item, but now, it was like losing the wife and also the soldiers.
Their clashes continued. What should have been an elegant battle now looked like two children brawling, exchanging punch for punch. However, it had to be admitted that this was indeed the most efficient way to fight.
At such close range, there was almost no room for error. Everyone had to remain vigilant. Taking a spatial magic attack at zero distance was no joke.
Letizia wanted to force her opponent to death quickly through this intense combat, while the girl also wanted to find an opportunity for a decisive blow in close combat. With both sides willing, the two who should have been distant combatants were now clenching their fists and pummeling each other.
At this moment, Letizia truly regretted not bringing her magic sword from home. Since Infino was acting as Kira’s bodyguard, Letizia had no spatial items available.
And carrying a dark wooden stick with her? Wow, that was too conspicuous. Letizia didn’t want to be the center of attention.
This made things a bit awkward. Although Letizia knew some close-combat techniques, she wasn’t a professional close-combat fighter. Her boxing style, if you wanted to be polite, was natural. If you wanted to be impolite, it was just wild swinging.
If she had her magic sword, she could at least use the demon king’s ancestral sword techniques she had learned to a decent extent to suppress the unarmed girl. After all, a sword was more powerful than fists, wasn’t it?
But now? Letizia found she couldn’t match this beautiful young lady in a fistfight. The girl’s boxing style was very elusive, and she couldn’t predict the trajectory of her punches at all. In less than a minute, Letizia had already taken two punches to the face.
Although these two punches didn’t cause any damage, they were incredibly humiliating. She had been genuinely slapped in the face!
And the damage Letizia inflicted wasn’t that significant either. The girl landed two hits, while Letizia only landed one, and it was on the shoulder, which was of little use. The spatial tear attached to her punch was naturally nullified by the girl’s spatial shield. Letizia’s strength wasn’t enough to shatter the girl’s shoulder with a single punch.
It was as if the punch hadn’t landed.
Dodging the girl’s fist flying towards her face with a low crouch, Letizia pushed off and delivered a kick. For some reason, the girl seemed to have a particular fondness for her face, as most of her punches were aimed there. Was she jealous of her beauty?
But the girl’s face didn’t seem much worse than hers, did it?
As she thought this, Letizia suddenly felt her leg touch something soft. Did she hit something?
How did she hit it?
Letizia’s kick was a purely instinctive counter-attack. Previously, the girl could easily dodge such kicks.
However, this time, she was hit.
Without pondering why she could hit, Letizia now knew she had an opportunity, a chance for a combo.
In most cases, legs were more lethal than fists, and Letizia’s kick was no exception.
A single punch might not cause significant stagger, but taking a solid kick would definitely cause one.
Letizia’s kick landed on the girl’s waist. The spatial magic attached to her leg was still nullified, but the impact force genuinely made the girl show a pained expression. At the same time, her movements paused. This was a golden opportunity.
Seizing the opportunity, Letizia immediately closed the distance, grabbed the girl’s fist that she had thrown and hadn’t yet retracted, and delivered a perfect suplex.
With a bang, the girl was thrown to the ground by Letizia like a rag doll. Under Letizia’s merciless attack, a trace of blood trickled from the corner of the girl’s mouth.
Letizia’s pursuit wasn’t over yet. While the girl hadn’t recovered from being knocked down, she pounced on her like a hungry wolf and expertly locked her joints with joint lock techniques.
“Surrender, you’ve lost!” Even though she was in intimate, zero-distance contact with the girl, Letizia still showed no pity. Now, with just a little force, she could break the girl’s right hand directly, and such an injury would undoubtedly lead to the girl’s defeat in the subsequent battle.
“If you surrender now, you might still live.”
Live? The girl didn’t care about the life or death of this body. In her original plan, this body was meant to be sacrificed.
Besides, she hadn’t lost yet.
“Impossible,” she said coldly.
Seeing her stubbornness, Letizia lost any desire to persuade her to surrender. She unceremoniously twisted the girl’s controlled right hand and then raised her right hand, condensing a high-speed rotating silver disk.
Aiming at the girl’s neck, she pressed her right hand down fiercely.
This was a miniaturized application of Dimensional Cut, a spatial chainsaw, so to speak.
The disk collided with the girl’s spatial shield. Since the girl’s limbs were currently controlled by Letizia, all she could do was forcefully resist this miniaturized Dimensional Cut with her internal energy.
The collision of the two spatial spells produced no sound, only the black cracks that continuously appeared and disappeared around them hinted at the danger of this confrontation. If anyone accidentally touched these cracks, the parts that touched them would instantly disappear.
If one was unlucky, they might be decapitated.
Letizia’s internal magic was depleting rapidly, but she didn’t feel any regret. She had gained an absolute advantage, and using her magic to deplete the opponent’s strength was a sure win.
What she was depleting was magic power, magic power that could naturally replenish itself, while what the opponent was depleting was her dwindling life!
As Letizia’s magic power rapidly consumed, the girl had already started bleeding from her seven orifices. In Letizia’s vision, the girl’s internal energy circulation had completely gone haywire. In another half a minute, this girl would die due to her physical condition.
And Letizia’s magic power could last for a very, very long time. Her total magic power reserves were outrageously large.
*Vroom…*
Letizia, who had been acting like a comedian, suddenly looked up. A string in her mind suddenly tensed. Something significant was approaching.
Without hesitation, she released the girl pinned beneath her, even though she was only one step away from killing her.
Then, she raised her hands towards the sky, and a multicolored barrier appeared centered on her, enveloping the white truck. This was the most powerful shield magic she could cast, possessing terrifying resistance to all kinds of magic.
“That is…” Although she was no longer bound, the silver-haired girl remained motionless on the ground. Her body was completely ruined, and the pain emanating from all parts of her body signaled that she was about to lose this body.
But in the final moments of this body, she felt no regret, because she had confirmed one thing: the girl who had just fought her to the death was indeed on the same side as her.
Later, perhaps things could be clarified. As long as she wasn’t foolish, she would understand how important this matter was.
Gazing at the clear night sky, the girl saw a pinpoint of light appearing from the infinite distance of the sky. What was that? She didn’t know. She could only vaguely guess from her still-functioning sense of crisis that its power was probably terrifying.
“A javelin… another god?” Letizia saw more clearly than the girl. That pinpoint of light was a massive javelin wrapped in flames. She didn’t know its origin, she only knew that the spear was aimed at the white truck beside her.
And unfortunately, she didn’t seem to have much confidence in blocking that spear.
No, she should be able to survive this spear, but she couldn’t protect others nearby.
As for actively attacking and destroying that javelin… the difficulty was immense. There was less than a minute left before the spear hit the ground. Letizia couldn’t conjure a magic of such power in such a short time.
In less than a minute, she had to conjure a magic of immense power, cast it, and still reserve some magic power to defend against the aftershocks of the collision between the magic and the javelin.
This was already very difficult, and Letizia’s magic might not even be able to mutually destroy the javelin with it. If things went wrong, it could truly spell game over.
As a precaution, Letizia decided to stand firm and brace herself with her shield to withstand this shot.
Because she was confident that her shield could withstand this terrifying attack and also protect her intended target.
But… all her preparations were ultimately useless.
Because that javelin never touched the ground. It was severed mid-air by a beam of starlight that came from afar.
Looking at the incredibly conspicuous, brilliant galaxy in the sky and the brilliant bloody fireworks, Letizia’s lips twitched. She dejectedly dispelled the shield she had just raised and then cast a healing spell on the silver-haired girl lying on the ground, on the verge of death.
This person was quite important, and it would be a bit of a loss to just watch her die.
“So she was watching from here all along? Then why was I fighting so hard?” Letizia muttered to herself, remarking on Bai Ling’s well-timed appearance at the last moment to show off. She walked in front of the silver-haired girl. “Alright, what are your thoughts on your current situation, my unknown, um, goddess?”
