Chapter 568 Against The Creed ( 4 )
Phoebe ignored Luna behind her and continued her attack on Nerissa…
Thud!
Her scythe struck the latter\'s body only to be stopped inches away from Nerissa\'s neck.
Even Nerissa seems to be shocked by this and thought that Phoebe had shown mercy on her… However, she suddenly felt her plaque heating up.
This plaque made of wood was given to her by her teacher, Sage Vivian, and was proof of her being Sage\'s student. From the looks of it, this plaque could actually protect her from danger!
She didn\'t expect it at all!
At this time, Phoebe also noticed the problem and wanted to swing her scythe again to split Nerissa into two. She knows that a stronger strike would break the trembling defense made by that plaque.
However, she doesn\'t have the time to attack once again. Luna\'s blade already struck her from behind…
Pah!
Her figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and Luna missed her blade. Only the Scythe remained floating with the cloud of smoke…
It seems that she was relying on this technique so she wasn\'t too worried about Luna\'s attack.
Nevertheless, Luna didn\'t act too surprised and decided to follow the moving cloud.
Her eyes didn\'t blink as she calmly held her blade with her left hand and the Bloodstone Armament in her right hand.
As expected, this technique didn\'t last very long as Phoebe\'s figure reappeared after a few seconds…
"Hmph!"
She waved her scythe and blocked Luna\'s attack this time with her scythe…
Clink! Clink! Clink!
Three consecutive strikes were parried… Then, Phoebe\'s eyes glowed with red light but Luna\'s bloodstone Armament lit up as well…
Nothing seem to have happened but Phoebe\'s hidden attack was just dissolved so easily by Luna\'s stone. It was very frustrating since that was Phoebe\'s fastest corruption attack as well.
"Tsk!"
Phoebe wanted to curse seeing that her attack was ineffective… Luna\'s item is truly a bane for Corruption Energy users like them. She knows that it should have some limitations but unfortunately, she doesn\'t even know the name of this item.
The most that she could do is to try and overload that red stone in Luna\'s hands. However, she was worried that she would be too exhausted if she tried doing it. It would be great if she only needed to consume half of her energy for it to be overloaded but it would be a huge problem if it reaches more than that.
Even if she managed to destroy the stone, the Celestial will certainly take advantage of her weakened state and she\'ll be in huge trouble.
At this time, Nerissa already collected herself and found an opportunity to attack… Her Crystal and Gold Automatons may have been destroyed but she\'s still keeping a few Bronze and Silver Tier Automatons with her.
They may be extremely weak compared to her high-level Automatons but they could still cause trouble if they were controlled by her.
To be exact, her Mind Cultivation Technique is quite special. She could actually make an exploding automaton even without using explosives used by the bandits.
\'I can\'t do this many times… I have to wait for an opportunity…\'
Nerissa reminded herself as she controlled her Automatons to attack Phoebe…
However, when Phoebe took notice of it and was thinking of destroying it, Nerissa would stop her automatons and let them linger around Phoebe…
Making her automaton explode isn\'t something she could do without paying a heavy price after all. If she felt that Phoebe would be unharmed, she would just halt her attack and find another chance.
Furthermore, it was helping Luna as well.
It may seem like she was doing useless moves but Luna was using the opening she was creating to attack with her short blade…
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Phoebe was frustrated as she can\'t gain an advantage over Luna… Her right hand is also hurting and Nerissa\'s Automatons were also troubling her…
\'You\'re forcing me…\'
Now that she knows that Nerissa was as evil as the bandits, she would certainly expect that the other Automatons may explode as well.
With this in mind, she no longer cared about the side effect of her forbidden technique and immediately triggered it…
The Legendary Scythe in her hand suddenly start breaking apart as they revolved around her arms… It was as if they gained sentience and started floating around her left arm.
As Luna tried to use this as a chance to critically injure Phoebe, she realized that another force seem to have been summoned.
Phoebe\'s aura instantly changed and her left arm seem to have sucked all the power of the Legendary Scythe…
Luna wanted to retreat since she felt something off about her opponent but the next thing she saw was a black light passing through her…
In the next moment, she saw Phoebe\'s hands piercing her chest…
Phoebe had instantly arrived behind Luna and used her hand to pierce through her Celestial Body!
"Luna!"
Vincent shouted filled with worry… He already noticed that Phoebe had become incredibly strong similar to the Avatar of the magic god that he had seen previously.
However, before she could warn Luna, Phoebe already made her move and struck Luna\'s body…
\'This…\'
Nerissa shuddered after seeing the extreme speed Phoebe had shown… She only saw a black light and Phoebe appeared behind Luna… It was an instantaneous movement! It was at the speed of light! There was no way she could defend against that.
Furthermore, the plaque given to her by her teacher had already lost its power… She no longer has any defenses around her.
Nerissa then saw Phoebe looking at her…
She knows that she will be the next target but since she can\'t follow Phoebe\'s movement, she can only try and delay her…
She gritted her teeth and released all her automatons around her… After a few moments, she decided to explode them to create a layer of protection…
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions followed.
Since she was only triggering low-level Automatons, it was a lot easier compared to the Crystal Tier just a while ago.
