Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 333 Life and Death

The night before dawn should be the darkest, but now it is as bright as day.

The aftermath of the battle between the two god-like and devil-like figures split the dark sky. The boiling and turbulent arcane energy roared like thunder, and the lead-gray clouds were torn into floating clouds in the sky, which then turned into a sudden rainstorm that fell on the earth.

The cold rain was mixed with star-like blue and red-gold light, which was the blood of gods and dragons scattered in the air.

The four-clawed, four-winged silver dragon used its wings to draw two slashes that flashed with black and red lightning, leaving two ravine-like wounds on the mountain-like star body of Cygnus.

In the pale blue blood rain, Lucia's heavy dragon body broke through the sound barrier, and a heavy claw that seemed to shatter the sky smashed into the tattered skull mask of Cygnus!
Hundreds of thousands of star beasts looked up at the sky in fear and shock, witnessing with their own eyes their gods falling like a meteor, smashing the battlefield within a radius of ten miles into a basin. More than ten thousand star beasts that had no time to dodge were crushed into pieces before they could even utter a roar!

"Lucia Shanks!"

Cygnus raised his head to the sky and roared in pain and fury at the bloody dragon shadow.

The skull on top of the insect body had been smashed to pieces by the previous blow, revealing the mutated and swollen human face of Cygnus underneath, like a twisted monster living inside the insect body.

His segmented legs curled downwards, and then suddenly burst out with terrifying force. His twelve thin wings tore through the wind, and his huge insect body swept into the air, opening his mouth to spit out countless highly concentrated gravity beams.

The fiery red dragon lightning and the dark purple light beam collided with each other and exploded into scattered flames. The whip hammer on the tail of Signis took advantage of the situation and turned into a blurry black light, smashing heavily into Lucia's chest!
He had already observed that the reaction speed of the ancient dragon in its fully transformed state was far inferior to that of its more agile half-dragon state. Even though this kid had previously demonstrated a strength that had made him panic, he would definitely not be able to block it in time.

The tail hammer whistled and swept across, so fast that it even tore a dark space crack on the edge of the tail armor. Seeing that this inevitable blow was about to fall on Lucia's chest, the four pairs of dragon wings suddenly flapped lightly.

Signis felt as if the entire space and time around him was dislocated for a very short time. When his gaze focused again, Lucia's dragon body had transformed into a blurry stream of light, and once again transformed into a half-dragon state of about three meters. The hunting god sword in his left hand slashed out a high-pressure wind wall at the critical moment, just blocking the whistling tail hammer!
boom--

A violent shock wave swept across the entire sky. The air wall formed by the sword storm only blocked it for a moment before it exploded. The tail hammer heavier than the stars pressed down the greatsword of the hunting god and smashed into Lucia's shoulder, denting half of his arm and left shoulder, and dragon blood fell like rain!

"Ha, ha ha." Segnis let out a long breath, and his chest, which had been suppressed for a long time, suddenly felt refreshed. He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He saw Lucia's tiny body flying back like a meteor, shooting backwards a thousand meters before flapping its wings to barely stop. Her left arm seemed too weak to lift the sword and hung limply by her ribs.

"You damn reptile, you disgusting rotten maggot, weren't you very powerful just now? How did you end up like this?" Segnis gritted his teeth in hatred and squeezed out a grim smile of satisfaction from between his teeth.

"Run, run! Just like your people who ran screaming when I crushed Fam Azra a thousand years ago!"

"I will trample every soldier of the Ancient Dragon Dynasty to death in front of you, and use their blood and flesh to feed my lowest-ranking followers! I will let you escape, let you hide in the corners of the gutter where you think you are safe, and let you watch in fear as I kill every member of your tribe!" "Finally, I will hold you by the neck and eat every inch of your body while you are still conscious, so that you will never forget the fear from the starry sky!"

"Remember, Lucia Sanx! You owe me this! It's your parents, the three severely injured bitches who are in deep sleep, and the entire Star-Moon Civilization that disobeys discipline and dares to defy the Supreme Will that owes me this!"

"You sealed me for a thousand years, I will torture you for ten thousand years, a hundred thousand years——"

"Have you finished farting?" Lucia moved her neck, seemingly not feeling the pain in her left arm at all. "Since you have been holding it in for a thousand years, and you are surrounded by your filthy and smelly relatives, I am allowing you to tell them the bullshit that you only dare to tell your mother in your dreams."

"Oh, sorry—" He suddenly knocked his head, "I forgot that you are a star life born in the void—you have no mother."

"Lucia Sanx!" Segenis was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He couldn't stand that his hearty outpouring was blocked by just two sentences from the other party. It was even more difficult for him to accept that as a magic master and a newly promoted god, he was scolded and attacked by a dragon who was only born a few years ago during a verbal battle!
Esti may not have a mother, but Cygnus does—since when did the dirty words in the border area become so unbridled? ! !
"Okay, I know you remember my name. Now that you've finished talking nonsense, prepare to die."

Signis' eyes suddenly widened. He saw Lucia shaking his sunken left shoulder as if nothing had happened, and strands of black flames as soft as silk threads were wrapped around his wound.

In just a breath of time, large pieces of broken bones, flesh, and scales grew out like surging air, and the breath of life emanating was even stronger than before the injury, completely recovering to the peak state before the war!
After the special ability of the cradle blessing was upgraded to the Queen's Embrace, the already extremely abnormal recovery ability transformed to an incredible level. Lucia moved her intact left arm, thoughtful for a moment.

As the first talent he obtained from the battlefield of memory, the blessing of the swaddling clothes has always been one of his most important trump cards. Facing opponents of similar strength, this ability to heal minor injuries instantly and major injuries without hindering combat always allows him to gain an almost cheating advantage.

From then on, he was very puzzled. Why did Caterpella, who used to rule the law of death, possess such magical powers in the field of healing and recovery that were more powerful than Queen Marika, who ruled the law of life?

If the swaddling blessing alone is still a special case, what about the Queen's Embrace after it is upgraded?

He had just clearly felt that, let alone that useless Cygnus had only broken half of his arm, even if he had really shattered half of his body, that life force at the law level could still pull him back from the hands of death.

Is this really the power that the "Queen of Death" should possess?
And there is the destined death that she upgraded herself to. As we all know, the complete Death Rune was already taken away by the "Black Sword" Malycus at the end of the War of the Gods. Why does Catepella still possess the true power of death?
But now is not the time to delve into these issues. After a fierce battle for most of the night, the attack just now was the most fierce counterattack of Segnis in desperation. It's time to send him to death.

Her thoughts raced in an instant. A thousand meters away, the look of astonishment on Signis's face had not yet faded. Lucia took a deep breath, and a cold, desolate, solemn and powerful force instantly surged through her body.

His right claw flashed with black and red lightning, and the greatsword in his left hand was also bathed in black and red flames.

Compared to the Black Flame Slash that only appeared briefly in the previous battle, this was the first time that Lucia allowed the true power of Fate of Death to bloom under the watchful eyes of everyone!
