Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 323: Fallen God

The two black steel swords collided at high speed, causing countless blinding flashes in the darkness. The whistling sword energy shattered the airflow on the cliff, creating a large violent vortex.

Pitch-black beams that were invisible to the naked eye intertwined in the swordplay of the two men. Every flash of the ultimate night magic could cut a terrifying crack in space, and a huge hole would be instantly created when it fell on the surface of the surrounding rocks.

At the level of Cassius and Antonia, the traditional labels of "Mage" or "Assassin" in Ceria are no longer applicable. They represent the highest level of heroic combat power in the world. If such people step onto the battlefield, they will be invincible unless they face concentrated attacks from heroes of the same level or super elite troops.

"How is it, teacher? I hope my student's ability doesn't disappoint you?" Antonia's mutated strong arm swung out a powerful blow, and the violent force pushed Cassius' old body away like a leaf blown by the wind.

"It's different from the experiment of Yug. This is a true evolution that retains sanity. It is the ultimate miracle that you and your two fellow apprentices have been dreaming of for a lifetime. It is a gift from the God of the Stars!" He laughed triumphantly. "How do you think Rein compares to me? How do Lucia and Latan compare to me?"

"Dirty, smelly, and vulnerable," Cassius commented briefly.

There was no trace of sadness on that old face any more. As he flew away, the old man raised his sword and pointed in the distance. Dozens of dark comets as thick as broomsticks shot out from the surrounding void. The pervasive darkness overwhelmed the starlight emitted by the Sleeping God Egg!
The pure and terrifying magical energy instantly engulfed Antonia's star-beast body. Even though he released several layers of magic shields in the first moment, the scales on his body were still shattered by the extremely penetrating comet magic, and half of his body became a bloody mess.

Anthony let out a terrible howl, and stared at his former mentor with resentment in his bloodshot eyes. He roared in a voice that was hard to tell whether it was human or beast: "Most of your strength has been wasted on weakening Esti. I want to see how many times you can launch such attacks!"

The voice was still echoing in the air as Antonia's blood-stained body flew up against Cassius' bombardment. Crystallized flesh and blood tentacles surged in the broken wounds on its body, and it recovered in just a breath of time!
boom--

Across a hundred meters, the two rapiers collided again. Under the huge force, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Cassius' mouth, but his wrist turned mysteriously when the swords collided, and the sword tip bounced along with the recoil force, and the sword pierced into Antonia's chest!

At this moment, the chief elder was astonished to see that Antonia's ferocious face suddenly revealed a glimmer of a smile of success. The latter suddenly stretched out his left arm which turned into a beast's claw, and tightly grasped the sword that was half pierced into his chest, not letting the teacher retreat even a single step!

Cassius' hundreds of years of combat experience came into play, and he was about to drop his sword and retreat. At the same moment, three waves of power that were almost as powerful as Antonia's burst out from the left rear, right rear, and diagonally above!

There were three high-level night mages who had been sitting here for several years. Cassius could call out each of their names.

The warriors who should have burned their lives to fight against the evil god suddenly chose to embrace the power of the evil god at this moment. The magic threads connecting them to the God's Sleeping Egg evolved into bloodlines that promoted mutation. In just a moment, the three haggard mages transformed into huge humanoid star beasts. Their magic levels, which were originally like a candle in the wind, suddenly increased to a terrifying level!

"Fallen Angels - this is their new name," Antonya said with a smile, "Rather than dying here with you stubborn old things, they chose a brighter future."

"Without the sword, what can you use to stop them? Hahaha."

Before the laughter died down, a silver light like thunder suddenly illuminated the entire dark cave.

A figure in the corner waved her hand and tore off the dark robe that concealed her presence, revealing the neatly draped golden armor underneath. The girl's dashing figure soared up with the spear, like an angry dragon soaring into the sky! "Your Holy Tree Spear!" Antonia said in astonishment.

He knew that this girl who followed Mikaela and Malenia all year round was one of the most powerful heroes in the Golden Dynasty, but he couldn't figure out when Finlay had sneaked into the Tomb of the Gods.

What he didn't understand was how a golden hero without any magic power could simulate the same power fluctuations as the Night Mage, and even imitate the magic thread that weakened Esti so vividly!

In the sky on the other side, the three Fallen Angels took advantage of their first-mover advantage and were about to surround Cassius in the center. Suddenly, a deep black hole appeared below the trajectory of the three people's advance!

The tremendous gravitational force suddenly started, and Antonia only felt a strong and overbearing dragging force coming from under her feet, pulling her towards the center of the black hole!

What's even more terrifying is that even though they were in the same gravitational field, the caster hiding in the dark was able to use his perfect control to avoid the impact of the black hole on Cassius, and only dragged him and the Fallen Angel downwards - at the other end of the black hole was Finlay, who was thrusting forward with his spear like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus!
"Who is it?!" Antonia roared at the top of his lungs, but he didn't even realize that there was a hint of panic in his roar.

“Tsk, the Son of Platinum’s legs and feet are not very convenient, so he can only pretend to be an immobile Night Mage this time.” Gaius muttered while tapping his numb knees, and as he spoke, he flipped his palm, and the black hole suddenly stimulated a terrifying gravitational force that was even stronger than before!
The two Fallen Angels closest to them were waving their hands and feet as they were forcibly sucked into a ball by the black hole. They had no time to resist before they were pierced through by Finlay's gun!
Anthony looked at his body being dragged in despair, and suddenly looked up at another Fallen Angel who had escaped the core area of ​​the gravitational field by luck because of his slow action, and shouted wildly: "Come and save me!"

The Fallen Angel looked back at him, with chaotic light flashing in his crystallized eyes. After a brief hesitation, he decisively gave up rescuing Antonia and rushed straight towards the God's Sleeping Egg!

"Where are you going, you damn bastard!" Antonya was so angry that her eyes were bleeding. "If I die, how are you going to explain to your master? He won't let you go!"

Puff—the black steel spear pierced through his body affected by gravity without any hindrance. The violent divine power poured into his torso along with the spear blade, instantly tearing apart all the flesh and blood that was still trying to repair itself.

Anthony looked into the distance with a look of resentment and unwillingness. In the gradually dimming vision, he saw the teacher approaching the back of the fallen angel in midair, vomiting blood and blasting out dense comet rain again, shattering most of the opponent's body.
But the Fallen Angel seemed to be unaware of anything, and used the inertia of the blow to throw the last remains of his body into the abyss below the God's Sleeping Egg!

A shocking explosion sounded, and the surging starry sky magic surged out from the bottom of the abyss, and was sucked into the God Sleeping Egg like mist. The magic threads connected to the surface of the eggshell all broke at the same time, and the huge crystal egg pumped like a restarted heart.
The next second, the Divine Sleeping Egg seemed to be inspired by some unknown source and shrank like a sponge that had lost water.

Nearly a hundred kilometers away, on the Selia Plain, a wave of power that was extremely similar to but more powerful than the God's Sleeping Egg rose into the sky, and the surging impact swept across the thousands of miles of wasteland in an instant like a tidal wave.

"So this is your plan, ha, ha."

Antonia closed her eyes and uttered a sad laugh. "I didn't expect that even if I changed my position, I would still be the only one to die as a pawn in the king's vanguard—"

Fenlei's spear emitted a divine power, completely destroying the last ray of life in Antonya, and then threw him into the darkness in the distance like a piece of garbage, without a sound.
