At the mont the Destruction Lord’s fist and Luna’s fist collided—
The power of Destruction quickly shredded the layers of blood from Embris’s party mbers, but even just destroying those three layers of blood energy was slightly taxing, and it could not quite manage to destroy Luna’s Primordial Might.
Thus, when Luna’s fist and the Destruction Lord’s fist struck squarely together—
Kwooooooooooooooom———!!!
The two energies clashed, scattering shockwaves around them that brought to mind an earthquake.
The ground split apart, and a shock like the surroundings were collapsing all at once rippled through the area.
They had only been fighting for a little over ten minutes.
This was the first ti an impact like this had occurred.
While the shockwave swept across the field, the other close-combat team mbers quickly moved their bodies, harassing the Destruction Lord.
They weren’t attacking as a ans of dealing damage, but like Luna, doing whatever they could to strip away the power of Destruction and land blows, and when they felt that countless attacks had finally thinned out several spots, Kyou stepped forward first.
Lightning was faster than blood.
When the massive lightning bolt conjured by the Stormlord compressed in an instant and crashed down—
It was so thin and sharp that it almost gave the illusion of a narrow flash of light rather than thunder.
That lightning, honed to a razor’s edge, pierced into one of the spots where the Destruction Lord’s power had thinned, and this ti, Kyou was able to drive the thunder in quite deep.
Kkajijijijijijijijik————!!!
As the Destruction Lord’s body was shocked—
For a brief mont, his body stiffened.
Aiming for that rigid instant and the opening it created, Embris fired blood toward the place Kyou had impaled with lightning.
Sfft!
The Destruction Lord reacted to the blood shooting toward him like a crimson flash and shattered it to pieces.
But Embris controlled each and every scattering crimson droplet, and when Kyou’s wound had not yet fully recovered its energy, she dropped a single tiny bead of blood into it.
Fuwaaaaaaaak———!!!
Crimson spikes burst out, covering the Destruction Lord’s entire shoulder.
There were countless puncture marks, but the Destruction Lord didn’t care in the slightest and shredded the blood, then moved in to knock away the troubleso Luna with a kick.
However, Luna was likewise wrapped in three layers of blood from Embris’s party mbers, and she too used her stance as an axis to fire off a kick. The two kicks collided in midair.
Kwooooooooong———!!!
A massive explosion erupted, and as the air burst out in an instant, shockwaves spread around them like a gigantic storm—but not a single person lost their stance or got blown back.
Seeing that, the ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) Destruction Lord contemptuously slamd his palm, filled with destructive energy, into his own wounds.
With a thud, the very concept of “injury” was destroyed, and as his body began to recover, the backup teams neither panicked nor gaped in shock.
If anything, seeing him finally heal after only suffering scratches so far, they could understand sothing from this.
The Destruction Lord, too, had to use recovery when he took real damage.
And based on their previous experience, they thought it through.
‘Either we exhaust all of his energy.’
‘Or we don’t give him any chance to heal and keep attacking.’
‘Or we hit him with a near-instant-kill attack that he can’t recover from.’
The three team leaders all had similar thoughts as they charged the Destruction Lord again.
High-level combat continued to unfold.
Luna’s martial arts techniques were extrely advanced, but the sa was true of the Destruction Lord.
Whenever she tried to apply joint locks, he would swiftly shunt them aside with the power of Destruction, and he smashed even Kyou and Embris’s attacks without letting his guard down.
However, even the Destruction Lord began using his head when faced with the absolutely disadvantageous numbers of twelve against one.
So long as the three team leaders were there, it was indeed not easy for him.
But he realized that if it weren’t for the backup team mbers applying constant pressure, he would have the advantage.
It was from that mont that his movents began to change.
Up to then he’d been attacking Luna alone, swinging roughly at anyone nearby, but now he tried to slip past Luna and go for the backup mbers behind her.
Yet it wasn’t easy, thanks to Luna’s relentless blocking.
“Ahhh! Lady Luna is sohow blocking him!!! When she alone isn’t enough, Sir Kyou and Lady Embris join in to block, and whenever there’s even a slight opening, Sir Kyou and Lady Embris step in to attack again!!!”
“W-Wow, that formation is perfect!!!”
“A-Amazing.”
Mihael was doing his best to keep the comntary going, and Lowell tried to as well, but he was half spaced out from the sheer spectacle.
Noirth wasn’t even comntating anymore—he was basically just in appreciation mode.
But none of the viewers blad him for that.
Anyone standing on this battlefield and watching this scene would have been the sa.
They all understood.
In any case, since Luna was sohow holding the Destruction Lord back, the Destruction Lord himself didn’t feel rushed.
Unlike the backup teams, whose montum had considerably weakened from what it had been at the beginning, his own strength was practically limitless.
He knew very well that ti was on his side, not theirs.
Even so, he did change things up now and then.
Kkajijijijijijijik————!!!
One of his all-crushing fists, aid at Luna, instead slamd into the ground.
The quake raised by the power of Destruction spread out in all directions in an instant, and everyone leapt into the air to avoid the destructive tremor.
But maybe that had been a blunder—
As they rose off the ground, the Destruction Lord, his arm still buried in the floor, rotated his body and swung his leg around with it, and sharp, blade-like waves of destructive power burst from his foot.
Shuuuuuuuuuuuu————!!!
Blades ant to slice through and destroy everything ca surging toward them, and they were far from Luna.
The blades of Destruction were aid perfectly at the backup teams.
At the very mont the Destruction Lord assud that no one would be able to stop them—
Kim Che-geon’s eyes flashed and he shouted:
“Joseon’s Greatest Sword!!!!!!”
At that shout, all of the backup teams poured their energy into Kim Che-geon’s blade, as if they had no other choice.
Mayrin’s spear of light likewise transford into a massive sword and beca one with Kim Che-geon’s weapon.
Kim Che-geon swung his now-enlarged sword toward the blades of Destruction.
The giant blade blood into a single sword technique, becoming a blade that would cleave an entire plain as it sliced through the blades of Destruction.
But at the sa ti as it cut through the destructive blades, Kim Che-geon’s great sword also snapped.
Crack.
Originally, the giant sword was supposed to hold together and pressure the Destruction Lord.
But the power of Destruction was so strong that it couldn’t completely redirect it; the destructive energy seeped in and broke the blade.
It couldn’t be helped, but Kim Che-geon’s face twisted in frustration—and in that mont, the instant the Destruction Lord had created the destructive blades and left himself exposed, Kyou and Embris’s attacks ca flying in.
Kyou, wrapped in deep-blue lightning, looked every bit the thunder god, befitting the na Stormlord, and Embris, who had absorbed all the blood into her own body, revealed her true form as an Apostle of the Blood Lord.
As an apostle of the Blood Lord, god of all vampires, she was the king and lord who ruled all blood in this area.
Honing the blood into razor sharpness, she sliced through the Destruction Lord’s arm that had been embedded in the floor.
Srrrrrip!
For a mont, even the power of Destruction couldn’t endure it, and the Destruction Lord’s arm was severed, his posture breaking as he briefly floated in the air, about to crash to the ground—
A spear of lightning, the Spear of the Thunder God, glinted as it fell toward the Destruction Lord.
As the wrath of a god turned into judgnt and the spear flew at the Destruction Lord—
The entire area beca wrapped in thunder, and everything began to burn under the falling lightning.
Hundreds of millions of volts were more than enough to make the Destruction Lord burn, and in that mont Luna, revealing her feral nature, charged in with elongated fangs and beastlike golden eyes, thrusting out a knife-hand imbued with wild instinct and Primordial Might.
Luna’s sharp hand flew in at the Destruction Lord, who kicked at her again—but the wild instinct and Primordial Might pierced through the destructive power in his kick, exploding outward as they drove in and literally pierced and blew apart the Destruction Lord’s leg.
Boooooooom———!!!
The Destruction Lord, having lost one arm and one leg, belatedly used his remaining arm and leg to pull himself out of that spot.
Luna imdiately rushed in, trying to slice his neck—but as if to say she was too late, the Destruction Lord slamd his palm into his own chest with his remaining arm.
As a considerable amount of destructive power was consud, the Destruction Lord’s body returned to its original state.
By destroying the concept of wounds and damage, he restored himself.
-Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
-So close ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-If they’d just gotten a little further ㅜㅠㅜㅜㅜ
-They were right there ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
The viewers hamred the chat in frustration.
Mihael was the sa.
“Gaaahhh!!! Th-They just needed a little bit more, just a little more, but that little is so unbelievably long!”
As Mihael cried out like that and the Destruction Lord moved in again to attack Luna and everyone—
A voice rang out from sowhere.
“Now, now, that’s just dirty.”
A seductive voice, accompanied by a snapping sound.
It sounded like soone snapping their fingers, and when that sound echoed through the area—
Tak!
All the wounds the Destruction Lord had taken earlier reappeared on his body.
The Destruction Lord, startled, quickly looked back.
There, Helena stood with her luscious crimson hair, holding the Despair Lord’s severed head and smiling seductively.
“Destroying your wounds is cheating, you know? Varian?”
“......!!!”
The Destruction Lord stiffened in shock.
And seeing that, the backup teams seized the opportunity and charged him.
His arms and legs—and even his remaining arm—were already in tatters from the blood spikes that had sprouted all over his shoulder, so they rushed in.
Luna exploded with feral instinct, lunging for the Destruction Lord’s neck to tear it out, Kyou drove a lightning spear at his head to pierce it through with thunder, and Embris honed a spear of blood to a deadly point and fired it at his heart.
The three of them tangled together as they converged on the Destruction Lord, and just like the Abyss Lord, his head went flying.
“Looks like I’ve got two presents for Seong now.”
Helena said that and gave a faint, charming smile.
