Chapter 371 [0369] Reaching the Pinnacle!
There is light in front and pursuers behind.
Physically exhausted and lacking in magic power.
Lux and Ino are in a very bad state now.
But because of Kalya's devilish training, the two climbed up without any deformation. Even under extremely harsh conditions, their actions were still orderly. If it weren't for adapting to the increasingly blazing light, Lux and Ino didn't even need to stop.
In comparison, it was the "locals" who struggled more. Even though they lived above the cloud line on weekdays and should be more accustomed to the light of the sky in theory, their own lack of strength and perseverance held them back.
Faith can indeed bring fanaticism.
But this kind of fanaticism is irrational and unsustainable.
When the body undergoes a transformation under the light of the sky, some people will be more fanatical, and some will be afraid - the former will ignore the condition of their own body and forcefully accelerate, causing cardiac arrest; the latter will hesitate and slowly distance themselves from the main force.
So, when Lux and Ino saw the top, there were only two or three kittens left in the pursuit.
The dusk faded, and the long night was coming.
The starry sky was as vast as the sea, and the stars were shining like sparkles. Under the witness of countless stars, Lux and Ino stepped on the stones on the cliffs and the gaps like reliefs on the body of the Targon Peak, slowly but steadily rising step by step.
Different from the bright sky in the daytime, the Targon Peak in the night was as clean as a wash. In a place so close to the starry sky, as long as you look up at the sky, anyone will be attracted by the changes in the nebula that seems to contain all the truths of the universe, and even gradually forget themselves and everything.
The stars high above seemed to be independent super-dimensional creatures, looking down at the countless creatures in the Rune Land from a high position, and Lux and Ino were like two insignificant little bugs, rushing to a challenge that was beyond their ability.
For this challenge, the two little bugs went through the most brutal training, and gradually squeezed themselves to the extreme - at this moment, even the light of the gods was not enough to destroy their bodies, and even the nebula of truth could not shake their will!
There was no time to look up at the vastness of the universe, nor was there time to sigh at the vastness of this world. After a long training, Lux and Ino had become accustomed to taking one step after another calmly in desperate situations.
The ten-thousand-foot peaks were climbed step by step, and the thousand-year civilization was passed down from generation to generation.
Above the sea of clouds, Lux and Ino climbed the Giant God Peak, which seemed to have frozen time, without hurrying.
Until unknowingly, when Lux and Ino reached out again, they found that there was no rock above their heads.
At a higher place, there was only the brilliant starry sky that seemed to be within reach.
With a push of their arms, the two finally stood on the top of the Giant God Peak.
There was an endless starry sky above their heads, and the Targon Peak, which stretched out beyond the long river of time, was under their feet. Lux and Ino opened their arms, letting the starlight and the skylight sprinkle down, coating their bodies with a layer of brilliant light.
The flatness and breadth of the Targon Peak became their stage, and the sky became the background of their unremitting climb. After a long period of preparation, tempering and pain, the two finally reached the top of the Targon Peak.
At this moment, they reached the pinnacle.
……………………
After a few breaths, the pursuers came late.
After seeing the glittering skylight on Lux and Ino, Leona's heart finally sank.
These two blasphemers...really climbed the Targon Peak, bathed in the skylight, and went a step further, opening the door above the extraordinary!
At this moment, Leona only hoped that they had been conquered by the majesty of the Titans and became new Star Spirits.
But unfortunately, Lux and Ino's will will not be seduced or obscured by the will of the gods. Although their bodies are bathed in the light of the sky, their hearts are still clear and pure. When they saw Leona, they immediately took an attacking posture.
Lux drew her sword out of its sheath.
There was no need to wipe the sword's edge again, nor to infuse much magic power. The moment the sword was drawn out of its sheath, the broken sword was recast by the stars.
At the end of the blade, the starlight shone brightly, and it was hard to tell whether it was the stars that recast the broken blade, or the recast broken blade reflecting the stars.
The unsheathed sword drew a stream of light from the comet tail and slashed at Leona's chest.
And just as Leona raised her shield, eight icebergs in the shape of giant gods rose from the ground beside her, like a cage, squeezing Leona's activity space to the greatest extent.
One attacked and the other controlled, Lux and Ino had a tacit understanding and cooperated seamlessly.
Under such circumstances, Leona could only barely raise her shield to block.
The starlight blade slashed across Leona's shield.
The sharp blade reflecting the light of the starry sky rubbed against the surface of the shield, making a trembling sound that made people's scalps numb. The scorching sun and the starlight of the heavens complemented each other, bursting out bursts of meteors and crackling.
Feeling a completely different power from before, Leona didn't bother to swing her sword to fight back, and could only roll back in embarrassment while the ice prison was not closed.
After using her armor to break the tip of the iceberg, she finally managed to escape from the range of Ino's spell control and was not suppressed by the eight-in-one iceberg.
"Sure enough, you are a scum who has surrendered to the void!" Leona became even more angry when she sensed the unique breath of the ice bloodline in the iceberg, "You blasphemers, you will not die well!"
"Impotent and furious, I don't know what to do." Lux shook her head and raised her sword again, "The running dog of the Sun, nothing more than that."
Under the siege of Lux and Ino, it was Leona's turn to be in danger.
The power of the Sun Aspect is unquestionable, but unfortunately, Leona's own quality is a little worse - and, under Kalya's adjustment, Lux and Ino climbed the peak late at night.
The sky was shining with stars, which was the biggest weakening of Leona.
She raised her sword several times and summoned the solar flare to punish the blasphemer, but without the positive blessing of the Sun, Leona's offensive was easily blocked by the two.
Attack and defense changed!
Facing Lux and Ino who cooperated tacitly, Leona could only secretly complain in her heart at this time. She really didn't expect that these two cunning blasphemers really climbed the Targon Peak on their own, and she didn't expect that they would adapt to the power of the skylight so quickly.
If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!
However, at this critical moment, Leona's reinforcements arrived.
……………………
The climbing journey of the Lahorak warriors was not smooth.
Some people fell off the cliff along the way, some were afraid to move forward, and some died suddenly in the skylight in a frenzy - when they arrived at the top of the Giant God Peak, there were only three Lahorak warriors left.
Moses, Pylas, and Atreus.
As the captain of this team of Lahorak warriors, Moses is a serious and serious person. If Leona had not been favored by the scorching sun because of an accident, he might have become the one who became the scorching sun spirit. Anyone who knows him will be amazed at his piety, self-discipline and strength.
In this climb to chase the blasphemer, Moses has always firmly occupied the leading position. Even if he was surpassed by Leona at the last moment, as a mortal, he still showed amazing adaptability to the skylight.
This adaptation comes from his familiarity with Mount Targon and his own strength. Moses, who is 35 years old this year, has lived regularly on the cloud line of Mount Targon for 15 years, worshipping and training every day, and has been the same for 15 years.
The past preparations have enabled Moses to keep up with the pace of the blasphemer. After seeing Moses, Leona even breathed a sigh of relief.
On the mountain, Moses closed his eyes and opened his arms.
The Pantheon constellation, which represents war, shone brightly at this moment, and the power of the war giant poured down, covering Moses like an epiphany.
Under the light of the Pantheon constellation, Moses' body seemed to be coated with a layer of gold. When he opened his eyes again, a raging fire of war had already burned in his eyes!
Reaching out to take off the shield and spear behind him, Moses strode forward and thrust his spear straight at Lux who was chasing Leona!
At the tip of the magic-breaking spear, the power of the war star spirit had lit up the divine fire.
Lux was forced to put away her sword to protect herself. When the sword and spear intersected, she retreated with great force, and only stopped when she reached Ino's side.
"War has come, and all mortals are fuel!" Moses' voice seemed to come from the sky, deep as thunder, "Now, surrender in front of Pantheon!"
Lux and Ino looked at each other, and their faces turned bad.
According to Kalya's original plan, this climb should be carried out quietly. By the time the Rakor people realized the problem, they would have been too late to catch up. At that time, Lux and Ino could leave calmly.
However, plans are not as good as changes. The encounter with Tariq gave Lux and Ino an additional pursuer, and then Kalya himself seemed to fall into a deep sleep and had no reaction. In this case, even if Lux and Ino successfully reached the top, they were in a situation where it was easy to climb up the mountain but difficult to go down.
What's even more terrible is that the guy in front of him calls himself Pantheon. Karya once taught them astrology. Although Lux and Ino don't know how to stargaze, they know that "Pantheon represents war".
War Star Spirit!
From the moment they just fought, the power of this Pantheon is much more terrifying than Leona at night.
But, so what?
On the top of Mount Targon, under the bright sky, Lux and Ino's power has expanded to the realm of demigods, and they hurriedly control a body of war star spirits - that's it!
Without much communication, Lux and Ino instantly formed a tacit understanding. When Pantheon raised his spear again, Ino also leaned down at the same time.
The spear burning with divine fire stabbed forward, but it immediately pierced the iceberg that rose from the ground. Ino ignored the consumption of magic power, the vast ice was either coiled or lying, or stabbed or picked, and spread everywhere. In the blink of an eye, it seemed to fill the whole world!
At this moment, the top of the Giant God Peak completely turned into a thorny ice hell!
The layers of ice brought a lot of interference to Panson. Although these ices that were in quantity but not quality were quickly broken and melted under the divine fire, Panson still became somewhat restrained among the ice thorns that looked like a forest.
No, they can't be allowed to continue - although Panson is fanatical, he is not stupid. He knows the significance of the initiative in the battle better than anyone else!
Thinking of this, Panson smashed the shield and spear, and directly began to violently dismantle these ice thorns.
However, this is just the beginning.
Ino consumed a huge amount of magic power to build this giant field magic, but it was not for Panson to dismantle for fun.
Just when Pan Sen raised his shield and spear, opening a path between the broken icebergs and ice spikes, before he could find Lux and Ino under the cover of the ice spikes, a burst of bright light appeared in this area. Explodes between the crystal clear ice.
Don’t forget, Lux is also a spellcaster at heart!
The magical resonance of the light element and the ice element directly caused the collapse and explosion of this ice-thorn hell. With the perfect cooperation of Lux and Ino, the large pieces of ice were completely shattered into razor-like fragments of ice. The blade flew around in the bright white light, sweeping everything away.
Even if Pan Sen raised his shield immediately, even if there was a layer of starlight on Pan Sen's body.
In the Ice Thorn Hell, the ice blades coming from all directions easily cut through the place protected by Panson's shield and armor, and penetrated directly through the body of Mexis.
When the ice mist dissipated, Pan Sen, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was already covered in blood!
"Despicable blasphemer!" Even though he could barely stand up, Pan Sen still refused to admit defeat, "How many more times can you use such a spell?"
"It's enough if I can take care of you!" Although Ino consumed a huge amount of magic power and his face was extremely pale, he was full of energy at this time. "Giant God...it's nothing special!"
"Hahahahaha!" Panson, who was covered in blood, laughed loudly when he heard this. He stopped talking to Ino and turned to look at Paras and Atreus who had just climbed Mount Targon. "Come here, kid, come here." !”
Hearing the captain's call, Paras and Atreus came to Pantheon one after another.
"Take it." Panson handed the spear and shield to Paras, "Continue to fight and kill those who desecrated Mount Targon!"
Paras nodded and took the spear and shield - and then, just as he grasped the weapon, the Pantheon constellation above the starry sky lit up again.
The spear once again ignited the divine fire, and the shield also shone with the light of the stars. At this moment when Messis was lifeless, Paras's eyes lost the color of humanity after taking over the weapon.
Under Pantheon's control, Paras completely fell into madness.
Wielding a spear and a buckler, even though his physical condition was slightly inferior to that of Messis, Paras still seemed to have unlocked the gene lock, using all kinds of incredible fighting skills to launch a storm-like offensive against Lux and Ino.
As far as Pan Sen is concerned, the body of Messis is worth maintaining, but the body of Paras is disposable at best!
The situation in the battle took a turn for the worse.
Excessive force, torn muscles, broken blood vessels, dripping with blood... The madman-like Paras, with the cooperation of Leona, quickly pushed Lux and Ino, who had consumed huge amounts of magic power, to the edge of the cliff.
"The star spirits are endless, and the giant gods are immortal!" Paras, who had completely become Pantheon, almost tore his face with his mouth, "And you, the blasphemers who steal the glory of the heavens and try to challenge the giant gods, you will definitely die."
"The divine fire will burn your bodies and scorch your souls. Even if mortals climb Mount Titan, they are not qualified to challenge the Titan!"
As he spoke, with the assistance of Leona, Panson stepped forward, pointing the spear in his hand directly at the staggering Ino. The divine fire on the tip of the spear illuminated the rapidly melting ice around him, turning his crazy face Twisted into a demon-like appearance.
"die--"
There is a cliff behind her, and Ino cannot avoid it.
Lux was blocked by Leona and tried to save her, but it was too late.
At the critical moment, Lux simply changed her mind and threw the sword directly.
"The fight between trapped beasts." Pan Sen showed a disdainful expression, and directly blocked the broken sword spinning towards him with the round shield in his hand, "Death struggle!"
However, when the sword and shield met, Pan Sen only felt his left arm drop suddenly, and the whole arm was almost dislocated.
Something is wrong!
The next moment, a sourceless wind carried the yellow sand that came from nowhere, and swept over in a mighty manner.
In this long yellow sand, a voice that made Lux and Ino rejoice, and stunned Leona and Pantheon, finally resounded from the top of Mount Targon.
"Shurima, your mentor has returned."
Shurima, your imperial mentor, spiritual leader, prince regent, university president...is back!
