Angele’s countenance changed . He retreated one step then raised his right hand .
A golden magic circle manifested on the empty ground before him and began spinning slowly .
*BAM*
Golden light came forth from the soil and streaked towards the arrow-transformed Terry .
Ten more rays of golden light shot out of the ground one by one, all of them flying towards the lightning arrow .
Thin green mist drifted across the air as the rays of golden light all streaked away . Parts of the mist took form into several triangle-headed, green snakes with green glowing eyes . These mist snakes similarly shot towards the lightning arrow .
Rays of golden light, venomous snakes, and poison mist were all intercepting Terry, who had transformed into the golden lightning arrow .
Angele maintained a calm composure . He lifted his right hand and unleashed two lava balls . Simultaneously, a black light flashed in his eyes and the silver metal separated from his body which shapeshifted into a countless number of needles floating in front of him .
Several glowing black needles were hidden amidst the hail of silver needles—a simple but deadly tactic .
Angele pointed forth before him .
*CHI CHI CHI*
The sound of a volley of arrows being unleashed from bows simultaneously echoed .
Hundreds of silver needles whistled towards the lightning arrow .
By now, Angele’s face had already turned pale due to the consecutive casting of spells . He immediately retrieved two mana potions from one of his pouches and opened it .
He quickly chugged the two glass tubes empty . A sweet and refreshing fluid flowed down his throat, and he now felt much better than before .
He had spent too much mentality and energy particles due to the two magic circles he had set .
Furthermore, he had used a large portion of his mentality to strengthen his metal forcefield and manipulate the flying silver needles . In his previous encounters, Angele had used this exact tactic several times already . Not only these silver needles dealt physical damage, they were also infused with the ability to petrify whatever and whoever came into contact with it .
Once Angele emptied the potions, he looked at the approaching arrow with complete focus, thinking about his next move .
*BAM*
The lightning arrow decelerated to a certain extent every time it was struck by the streaks of golden light . Terry made attempts at dodging the streaks but had still been struck seven or eight times, causing her speed to dramatically plunge .
Following after the golden rays, the green, venomous, mist snakes jumped onto the lightning arrow . Each of these mist snakes that were about one meter long successfully eliminated some of the lightning pulses surrounding the arrow .
Due to this, it shortened the lightning arrow’s length from two meters to one .
The figure of Terry’s face gradually took form on the arrowhead .
"You think you can stop me with those petty tricks?" Terry, looking at Angele, mocked .
*CHI*
The golden lightning arrow suddenly absorbed all the lightning pulses surrounding it . A materialized long arrow, which seemed to have been made out of gold, took form .
*CHI CHI CHI*
The streaks of golden light and the mist snakes were destroyed . The arrow flew straight into the hail of silver needles .
*Clank Clank Clank*
It sounded like metal pins hitting a large metal shield .
"What a waste of time…" Terry’s voice came from the arrowhead . "I’m disappointed . You are way weaker than I have expected and…Ugh!" But suddenly, she grunted .
*BOOM*
The arrow exploded into innumerable lightning pulses that soon reformed into the figure of Terry, who was still adorned in a long, white robe .
She had an irritated expression on her face . A black needle had pierced her right chest . From the small puncture on her chest, her body was being petrified .
Terry tapped the triangular rune on her forehead . It flickered with light .
Underneath her feet surfaced a golden green magic circle . It had a complex structure; many runes were spinning above it .
*BOOM*
Golden runes, green smoke, and pulses of lightning merged into one before exploding into a bright ball of golden light .
The glaring light caused Angele to cover his eyes with his hand . He was blown away by the shockwave produced by the explosion .
At Terry’s original location, only a three-meter-tall ball of light remained .
This ball of light started rolling forward, its size ever-changing and its surface enveloped by lightning pulses .
Angele was still recovering from the damage he received . He felt a sensation as if his skin was being pricked by numerous needles .
Peering ahead, he conjured another pair of lava balls while watching out for any movement coming from the ball of light .
*BAM BAM*
The pair of lava balls sank into the light-ball and exploded .
*CHI*
Out of the blue, a golden laser beam coming out of the light-ball darted out at Angele .
The laser beam was too fast such that Zero’s warning was rendered useless . Angele failed to dodge this . His vision blurred for a second . He could feel the laser beam piercing through his right chest .
*BAM*
It felt like he had been struck by an elephant . Angele stumbled ten steps backward . He could hear the bones of his body breaking . Due to the intense pain, he nearly blacked out .
Angele tightly grasped at his right chest . The invisible shield created by the crystal scorpion was penetrated through and destroyed, then it slowly dissipated .
His chest had been burnt black . Many of his ribs had fractured . The metal barrier covering his body had been eradicated .
The ball of light soon became transparent until it slowly and completely disappeared . It reformed into Terry, who had similarly been injured to a severe state .
There was a huge bloody hole right in the middle of her chest . Barely any flesh was left .
"Two offensive magic circles . How much mentality did you spend? You are crazy . " Terry glared at Angele . "I must admit, I have underestimated you . "
Angele was confounded . Terry was still alive even after being inflicted with such a terrifying injury . He thought that only rank 4 wizards could survive an injury of that level . The only and biggest difference rank 2s and rank 3s had was the gap in mentality levels .
Although Terry was only a rank 3 wizard, the power of her spells was comparable to the ones Angele cast, more or less 200 degrees . Angele had thrashed the woman with four lava balls, two offensive magic circles of the high tier, and his special needle yet the woman still had enough strength to retaliate .
Angele had realized that he was up against a formidable opponent .
"Is that so? Am I now a worthy opponent?" He sustained a deadpan expression as he tried to remain calm . Angele had been severely wounded by the light-ball . Nonetheless, he had an absurdly high stamina and the assistance of the ancient bloodline he possessed .
His chest wound had already begun recovering at a ridiculous rate . Newly-formed tissues and flesh had already replaced a part of the burnt area .
"There is another soul within you . I can feel it . You cannot hide it from me . " Terry deeply breathed and put down her hands . Her chest was no longer bleeding . She should have taken doses of high-quality healing potions or used enchanted items that had healing effects .
"Which one is it? Perhaps you are thinking that the soul will help you once you fall into danger?" Terry shook her head . "Unfortunately for you, I have a special item in my pouch that can restrict that soul’s ability . Several minutes ago, you nearly died yet the soul did not help you . Do you not think it is strange?"
"Huh?" Angele faked a surprised expression . "What are you talking about?"
"Don’t even try to lie . Right now, that soul cannot communicate with you . It probably thinks you are still safe, but it will die once I kill you . It’s simple . " Terry lifted up her right hand and summoned even more lightning pulses . It quickly conjured into two golden pavises .
"Die!" With two shields of roughly a meter in height, she shouted and charged forth at Angele .
*Crack*
Suddenly, a huge crack appeared on the cliff .
The cliff could no longer handle the force from all the spells they had cast .
Strands of black smoke appeared above the Abyss Canyon . Innumerable black eyeballs came into being .
These black eyeballs were the size of a human head . These were floating in the air without a noise . All of these were looking at Angele and Terry with such greed, as though these eyeballs wanted to devour the two wizards alive .
**************************
On the other side of the Abyss Canyon .
Stigma was kneeling on the ground, scowling at Cena with hatred in his eyes, and was panting .
Suddenly, he noticed the black eyeballs that were floating .
Cena’s mien distorted upon witnessing such queer scene .
"Death Eyes can kill rank 4 wizards…Wait…has the final stage almost been completed?!"
"What? Final stage? What are you talking about…" Stigma was confused .
Cena looked at him but did not answer the question .
"This fight has to be postponed . The Death Wave is coming . I must go . We shall meet again," he said after picking up his left arm from the ground .
"Wait, what about your friends?" Stigma narrowed his eyes . "Do they know about the Death Wave, too?"
"Naturally," Cena replied .
*BAM*
A loud noise from the other side echoed in the air .
****************************
Angele silently stood holding one wide-blade sword in each of his hand . The cliff he was standing on could fall into the abyss anytime .
After scanning it using his biochip, he now knew that those black eyeballs were dangerous and that he should try to stay from the black smoke . He was not even sure whether Henn could block it if she was not in her soul form .
Terry and Angele would both die if they, at the very least, touched the black smoke somehow .
The endless black smoke could easily deal more than 1000 degrees of acid damage and kill anyone within its effective range .
Angele’s heart was beating fast . The life-or-death situation he was presently under somehow excited and relieved him . For him, this was quite enjoyable .
It felt like walking a tightrope without any lifesaving measures . One wrong step and he would fall to his death .
Terry was standing opposite Angele . Still, she too was standing on the cracked cliff . The woman looked at Angele . Two deep holes could be seen on the pavises in her hands, such damage was inflicted by Angele’s swords .
"Why are you still here?" Terry questioned him in a calm tone . "The Abyss Canyon will soon be sealed by the Death Wave . You need to be at least three kilometers away from this place . The Death Wave can easily kill any wizards below rank 4 . "
"I’m not leaving . " Angele swung his swords several times in the air . "Don’t you think this is beautiful? I am so excited that my body is trembling . Finishing the battle at this place will be my ultimate happiness . " He licked his dry lips and smiled .
"Wizards shall all rot in a life of peace . We may die together in this battle, but our final moments will be enjoyable . You may only experience such once in your life . " Angele spread out his arms . Terry narrowed her eyes . "You’ve lost your mind . " She jumped forward, turning into a flash of lightning .
"No . This will be an unforgettable memory for us both . " Angele smiled . A red beam was unleashed from the musical note located in the middle of his chest .
*BAM*
Tarry returned to her original form forcibly without a warning . She dropped to the ground and shook her head several times .
"You! How dare you!" Holding her pavises tight, she roared at Angele .
*BOOM*
The cliff they were standing on completely separated from the canyon . Thus, there began the descent of the two wizards into the endless darkness alongside broken pieces of rocks and the dirty mud .
The scene looked like a gigantic yellow boulder sliding into the abyss from the edge of the canyon .
