Chapter 427
Wrath, who was nonchalantly watching the show, suddenly raised his head as a large bird appeared high up in the sky .
"So he can also turn into that?"
The Vermilion Bird glared at the being of light, even without resorting skills, flames were being unleashed from his slowly flapping birds .
Lucy standing on the bird's head, two types of flames joined hands, ready to create absolute chaos . There was an enemy but it was more troublesome than the rest . A golden hammer appeared in the God's hand, it slowly raised it and was about to bang it on the flame bird only for a deafening explosion to occur .
Arthur used [Cascading Flames], which caused much more destruction than he initially thought . The ground was scorched and obliterated, the frozen barrier melted and even Wrath was forced to retreat .
This, however, was but the beginning as Golden flame brighter than the sun appeared above the God of Light . Like a tsunami, the golden flames fell on the white being of light whilst the Vermilion fire enveloped it, dealing massive damage over time and weakening it .
Both the hammer and its wielder were pushed back, the 'God' heavily fell on the ground, causing an intense tremor . The two flames were relentless as they burned everything, shocking the spectators . Despite being far away, they could still feel the intense heat of the bird's flame and blinding light of the golden fire .
"W-what the hell? Is he a shapeshifter?"
Clara, dumbfounded by the spectacle, asked her the newly arrived Artid, who was smiling .
"Shapeshifters can change their aura and appearance but they can't use the abilities of the Race they turn into . "
Even the Flame Crown Prince, who's famous for his strong fire, could nothing but retreat lest he gets melted . More than one time, he wanted to join the battle and kill Arthur but the disparity was just too big . Although unwilling, he still chose to back away and attack when the enemy is distracted .
'Yin and Golden Crow? How?'
Angelina was pushed further back, her clothes were either frozen or burned while her face was pale . She wasn't strong enough to help her sister or even get close . She wished for the butler to quickly arrive before the situation worsen .
With each flap of the lengthy bird's wings, monstrous flame waves would strike the struggling 'God' . Its size was humongous but it couldn't resist the bombardment of the couple .
The Twenty Holy Knights, who were literally sacrificing their Blood Essence to summon their God, sensed how the situation became worse than before .
Without having to talk to each other, they all simultaneously sacrificed everything they got to strengthen their God and complete the summoning .
Their faces became pale and their hair grey whiter . Delia, who was supporting one of the knights while also using her Blood Essence, hesitated as she gazed at the large flaming bird far away .
After an intense internal struggle, she bit her lips and retracted her hand, causing the knight's body to tremble . He was so focused on the prayer so he couldn't ask her why she did that .
As she wasn't as strong as the others, Delia could barely float a few meters in the air . Nonetheless, she used every ounce of her power to fly toward the battle area .
She stopped a distance away from the two fighting parties . She was heavily panting and profusely sweating, this place became a world of fire, hell itself!
Wherever she looked, there was only fire, it wasn't something she could resist or heal . She struggled to see through the fire and after much effort, she spotted a bloodied figure crawling on the ground .
Upon a closer look, it was the female knight who was shot by Lucy's revolver .
The User 'Lucy MoonStar' used [Engulfing Sun]
The User 'Arthur MoonStar' used [Quiet Flames]
Requesting the permission to fuse [Engulfing Sun]+[Quiet Flames]

Cooldown: None
Y/N
Both Lucy and Arthur accepted the fusion . The God of Light, which was enveloped by a pillar thicker than being itself, stood up and waved its golden hammer, extinguishing the surroundings flames . The Knights were doing their prayers wholeheartedly, however, Delia's role was important so, without her, the God couldn't reach its complete state .
It faced the couple and banged its hammer again only for it to be blocked by a golden barrier which absorbed 80% of the damage . The remaining 20% were negated by the Dark Barrier .
Lucy's eyes, which were closed for ten seconds, finally opened . Her two blood-red pupils shone with a golden light . A miniature golden sun appeared above the couple, illuminating the place and emitting a heat so intense it caused the far away Artid to grab Clara and quickly fly away, leaving her no time to react .
Wrath furrowed his brows and was tempted to join the fray only to hear a deep and dangerous growl come from the dragon's lair . He gulped some saliva and hesitantly retreated .
Coupled with two hundred meter long flaming wings of the bird, two more wings with the same length appeared . One wings painted the world in darkness and the other emanated a soothing and healing power .
Fusion100% complete!
[Engulfing Sun]+[Quiet Flames] => [Star Nova]
The miniature golden sun expanded in size and the heat it was letting out became much more intense . The sheer pressure it was emanating caused the God of Light to not even be able to lift its hammer or retaliate .
For a moment, all sound seemed to disappear before a deafening explosion occurred . It was so powerful and destructive that it broke the natural Space Laws of the Secret Realm .
The supposedly true 'God of Light' summoned by the Holy Knights vanished into nothingness as the golden sun, which exploded, took with it everything in its way .
Foolish cultivators who dared to remain close, the scorched land and even half of the dragon's lair disappeared . In the end, there was nothing but a gaping crater which looked more like a bottomless chasm .
The twenty Holy Knights, who were already weakened, were killed by the explosion . In total, one hundred and twelve people died from [Star Nova] .
Delia was smart enough to retreat the moment found the injured woman . Shu Ru was a bit close and received serious injuries but wasn't dead, fortunately .
Jian Si had long since left this place, knowing full well what her teachert is capable of .
Clara shook her head to get rid of the ringing sound inside of her ears, which only disappeared after a few minutes . She gazed at the golden sky and the raging winds with a half-open mouth, not knowing how to react .
There was only one person who was foolishly resisting the still scattered golden and orange flames while making her way toward the couple .
There was nothing but empty air all around them, flames burned deep inside the chasm and the sky was still painted golden due to the explosion .
The barrier blocking the entrance of the cave was no more but there was no one who entered . Half of the entrance was obliterated and the Natural Space Laws which acted as a restriction, were heavily damaged, causing many people to regain some of their real cultivation .
Unfortunately, the moment Angelina arrived, she only saw a large White Tiger . Her sister was tightly holding the fur of the tiger, which transformed into a bolt of lightning that soon vanished into the horizon . She could only let out a helpless sigh, just by seeing the sheer speed of the tiger, she was certain she'll never be able to catch up to them .
She looked around her in astonishment, the open field and the somewhat clear sky were nowhere to be seen . There was only a half-destroyed cave entrance and an abyss that had golden flames that burned deep inside .
"Thy powers are truly wondrous . "
The Space Dragon gazed at the silent human sitting next to it and uttered those words with a lazy tone .
"Hahaha back then I thought that you'll get angry since I destroyed your Realm . "
The man was as calm as always . He would glance at the roof of this large cave but what he was expecting never came . He was sure the dragon was blocking the Time Wraiths, rendering those abominations unable to enter its Realm .
A few minutes later, the man sensed something, he got up and bowed to the dragon before picking a normal stick and drawing a line just at the entrance of this room .
Literally seconds after he did that, a group of cultivators dressed in red robes appeared in front of the man . They gazed at him with a strange look then sucked a deep breathe once they noticed the entity behind him .
The leader of this group was none other than the Flame Crown Prince, who venomously glared at Arthur, both surprised and confused about why he's here . He could've sworn he saw him head North .
This 'Arthur' calmly stared at the newcomers then pointed at the thin line at the entrance before saying
"Anyone who takes a step beyond this line will die . "
Then he leisurely sat in front of them while smiling .
