Although Vaan's mocking angered Lady Nurla, she still possessed her reasoning. As such, she was alarmed by the invisible barrier that protected him. It had appeared without warning and seemed nigh unbreakable.
Where did such a strong barrier come from?
Lady Nurla didn't believe such a powerful barrier could have been produced with Vaan's cultivation. As such, it had to come from somewhere else.
A treasure?
In order to verify her suspicion, Lady Nurla threw herself at Vaan again, attacking the invisible barrier with wings, tail, legs, and arms. She utilized all her limbs to strike different spots on the spherical barrier as if to find its weak point.
However, no matter where she struck, the invisible barrier remained firm and unshakeable.
Nevertheless, the glimmers of light from the tiny temple that floated around Vaan made Lady Nurla realize where the barrier power came from. Indeed, the barrier power came from a treasure.
Moreover, it was a very high rank one at that.
Meanwhile, Lady Nurla's broken fingers and nails quickly regenerated within minutes. Despite that, she continued to rely on physical attacks to strike the barrier.
It was as if she had no other means of attack, which shouldn't be possible.
After all, energy cultivators could use elemental spells and divine arts through their divine energy. However, whether it was Sir Mugim or Lady Nurla, both of them completely ignored this potential.
They simply used their divine energy to augment their body's physical capabilities.
As a bit of observation, Vaan understood why these two Celestial Dragons didn't use their divine energy for more powerful energy attacks.
While the energy attacks of energy cultivators were very strong, they were also very wasteful. The more energy consumed, the quicker their combat potential would drop. Once they used up their energy, they would be completely vulnerable and at the mercy of others.
As such, the two Celestial Dragons preferred to circulate and contain the divine energy within their powerful bodies. Not only would it not waste away their divine energy, but they could also stay in peak physical shape.
As a result, they would be able to battle for a much longer period than pure energy cultivators.
Using divine energy to maximize the potential of the physical body was indeed the most optimum choice to make for the Celestial Dragons, who possessed such physical superiority.
Unfortunately, Sir Mugim could not make use of this advantage against Valefor. They were very mismatched.
In front of Valefor's Primordial Avatar Body, Sir Mugim's level of strength was simply incapable of dealing damage. On the other hand, Valefor's Asura Law could bypass Sir Mugim's strong defense.
Sir Mugim's advantages were rendered useless in front of an opponent like Valefor.
Valefor was practically the nemesis of all Celestial Dragons, who were pure physical fighters.
Sir Mugim panted on the ground with cold sweats. After consuming a significant amount of divine energy, he finally extinguished the tyrannical, fiery power that invaded his body.
However, he wasn't so sure if he could take another of such an attack. In fact, he feared getting struck by it again. The agony of being burned inside out was not something he wanted to experience again.
It was like a toothache that wouldn't go away, except it was tens of times more painful.
"Are you done already?" Valefor asked, looking quite disappointed. His opponent was quite strong, but he had no guard against laws at all. He didn't expect the person would capsize under a single move.
Sir Mugim glanced back at Valefor with deep dread. He had never fought an opponent like this. The latter's strange powers didn't seem like something he could guard against.
If he had no means of defending himself against the strange fire, how could he continue to fight? But if he didn't continue to fight, was he going to die?
