Chapter 857: Vol V Chapter 217

With a loud rumble, the ground began to shake, and numerous cracks appeared on the ground’s surface. The biggest crack was big enough for a human to fall in! It was sized such that if one were lucky, he would be able to climb out. However, with the ground falling apart, he would probably fall into another crack right away.

This was Leon and the dragon’s fighting ground, and this devastation of the ground had been their combined effort.

The first one to blame for the destruction would be the dragon, as he was stronger than Leon but not as accurate. When he attacked, Leon could focus his attack to where he wanted it to go, but the dragon could only aim within a certain range. Every time it attacked, even if it did not manage to hit Leon, the surrounding ground would be destroyed. Leon would only cause destruction around him when his attacks failed.

A demigod’s powers were unlike others, and their attacks often shook the ground like a natural disaster even when they did not fail or hit the ground directly. The ground had not yet become a full crater only due to the fact that the Main Plane was protected. If this was another world, it could have been reduced by a few miles and become a crater that resembled a deep, underground prison.

Light flashed in the air, and a large earth element with earthy grey wings flew in the air and observed the ground. This was Goddess Gaia’s Oracle, sent here to observe the unusual changes on land. It immediately observed the presence of Sui Xiong and Wenner and was shocked. Its stance immediately changed to one of spirituality and majesty. Goddess Gaia used her Oracle as a medium to fragment herself.

“Don’t worry. We’re observing the situation, nothing disastrous will happen.” Sui Xiong smiled and waved his hands.

Goddess Gaia relaxed upon hearing his words, then nodded and transformed into countless glowing spots. These spots, however, did not disappear, but rather re-gathered in the air to form an earthy yellow shield about the size of a human palm.

Once Sui Xiong accessed it and held it in his hands. Once he had swept it with divine thought, he immediately understood its usage.

This was an attrition-based magical tool that acted as a Divine Shield of great power. It was just that the power it could hold was limited and depleted quickly. Unless one specialized in earth or earth elements type of priesthood so as to replenish strength, after blocking four or five attacks at the legendary level or above, it would be useless. It would be totally demolished into nothing.

“Interesting!” Sui Xiong praised the shield and tried to add his powers to it. Sui Xiong of course was familiar with its strength. After destroying the legacy of the Sun God previously, there was little that he did not know about realm power. He had also trained with the treasure left behind by God of Virtue and had increased his knowledge further beyond that of realm power and priesthood.

The God of Virtue had great Divine Power, and his power was all-encompassing. There was little about realm power and priesthood that he was unaware of. One could say that although he only controlled goodness as his priesthood, other than evil, he was able to control almost all other realms and priesthoods. It was very complicated, but in summary, he was even able to use goodness to overcome evil without affecting other realms or priesthoods.

Sui Xiong was not as strong, but given a god-to-be object, he would be able to use it well.

First, a pale-yellow light shone, and this was the earth’s power. This light transformed slowly into fire, water, wind and finally turned into a warm white light, which represented the way of goodness.

Currently, Sui Xiong’s niche was the goodness realm. Among the changes in light, the shield continually changed color and shape as well. Finally, in the white light, it stabilized into a new shape and became a small decorative object that was pure white and about four to five centimeters tall. Now, its usage was similar to before, but the only change happened at the root of it where its Divine Power capacity now increased tenfold. Using an object from Sui Xiong’s previous world as an analogy, the original shield was like a 3.2GB thumb drive that had now evolved into a 1TB hard drive. The God of War, Wenner watched this transformation with interest before finally nodding and praising, “Nice work!”

He was extremely sincere with his praise. As someone who controlled wars and war weapons, Wenner of course could have been able to adjust that shield as well. But to do it as casually as Sui Xiong would be impossible for him. Even if Wenner had tried personally, it would not be possible for the shield to transform so dramatically as well. The transformation itself was not complicated, and Wenner understood the theory behind it but did not have enough strength to alter it.

As many people knew, as long as water was sprayed at a fast-enough speed, normal running water could convert into a shockingly powerful knife that could cut objects. However, without a full and complete system, plainly using the tap that the water had flowed from and a plastic tube would not create such a tool, as the pressure would not be enough even if one pressed the tube hard.

However, Wenner did not care much about this. He knew all along that Sui Xiong was extremely skilled, and finding out that Sui Xiong’s skills exceeded him was not shocking at all.

Sui Xiong kept the tool and refocused his attention to the ground where Leon and the dragon were still battling. The battle had reached a stagnant stage where both sides were fighting hard, and the winning and losing sides could not really be identified.

If one were to look purely at strength, Leon of course was the loser. However, he had many magical objects with him that greatly increased his strength, especially the sword which had unique powers. Every time he used his sword to slice the dragon, it decreased the dragon’s powers. It was a pity that Leon’s enhanced strength was still lower than that of the dragon, and although he managed to slice the dragon several times, the results did not add up to much.

This battle was likely to require several days and nights to determine a winner!

On the other hand, it was not like the dragon was infallible. Its battle tactics were not smart, and it got swayed by Leon’s martial arts. Nevertheless, with power as its advantage, every move the dragon made was shocking. Even with his armor that defended Leon greatly, as long as he was hit, Leon felt a great impact and sometimes even lost his abilities for three to five minutes. During this time, he could only dodge and hide.

If the dragon could find an opportunity to fire off a massive attack, it would be able to destroy Leon’s fighting abilities completely and activate the life automaton on his armor, sending Leon back to Sui Xiong’s God Kingdom with a ray of light. That would have little meaning, however, unless Sui Xiong sent Leon back healed and ready again.

This battle had been unfair from the start. Leon was like a hobbyist who had come to challenge an extraordinarily powerful creature. Perhaps his skills were just not good enough to send the creature back to where it had come from. If he continued to train and expand his experience, he could probably kill this creature in the future.
