Chapter 707: Individual display of prowess

Aldaris's lightning bolt streaked out and pierced deep into the summoned beast's heart and created a frying explosion! This attack completely ignored the beast's defence.

Crackle! A rich odour of charred flesh and blood pervaded out, as a layer of blood sprinkled against the surrounding walls. It was as though a heavy truck had sped through a muddy street, causing the mud to splash everywhere.

That summoned beast unleashed a sorrowful howl as its mouth widened to the extremity. With the heart as the nucleus, a huge chunk of its body had been vaporized. Such a scene was incomparably tragic!

"The feelers of Azrael coil around your body…"

(TL: Azrael (?????) is the angel of death in jewish mythology)

Aldaris's voice echoed continuously, as though it was a beam shooting through the universe and travelling for millions of years; seemingly carrying the legends of time and the mysteries of space! Upon hearing his voice, one would feel that it wasn't mere language but truth!

Unconditional truth, like the repetition of sunset and sunrise continuously!

"Positively charged Spirit lightning borne from my will, attach yourself to my enemy's soul!"

Following Aldaris's voice and the dissipation of his first lightning, a resplendent white aureole swiftly formed on the ground. Countless electric currents extended in all directions like tiny snakes. With astonishing speed, the currents bolted towards the distant Yuan Zhan in a flash!

Moreover, the electric currents could be seen rapidly converging towards Yuan Zhan!

This was Aldaris's true ability! 'Spirit Lightning'!

Concurrently, Aldaris's muttered incantation resounded with increasing grandness. Once again, an exceedingly blinding radiance exploded out from his body!

"Negatively charged Spirit Lightning borne from my strength, massacre my enemy's heart!"

Naturally, Yuan Zhan's summoned beasts weren't idling either. Within a split second, a strange crocodile like beast savagely chomped down onto Aldaris with its massive jaws, filled with sharp teeth.

Instead, a thin screen suddenly surfaced and protected Aldaris. Indeed, this was inevitably the ability that most mage type contestants would possess - 'MP-Guard'.

However, Aldaris's 'MP-Guard' was crystal clear and glistened with a tinge of faint bluish radiance.

When that crocodile beast chomped down, layers of ripples floated up from the screen guard; shining with myriads of solid sapphire like intersections. Even the deadly chomping ability of Yuan Zhan's summoned tier-4 or 5 legendary beast failed to chomp through it!

When Aldaris duelled Zi back in the Avatar World, Reef mentioned that his 'MP-Guard' had been raised to level 4. Yet from the looks of it now, how was Aldaris's ability only capped at level 4? Estimatedly, it would minimally be at level 7, or possibly, even as high as level 10!

Aldaris profoundly pointed forth. Lingering before his fingertip, the electric charges bolted out in a streak of ghastly lightning bolt; warping horizontally through the air like a dragon.

PA! With a crackle, it struck Yuan Zhan!

With a single strike, Yuan Zhan's expression instantly twisted. He grimaced widely as though wanting to release an agonizing scream, yet failing to squeeze out a single sound.

Moreover behind him, a faint reflection identical to Yuan Zhan could be seen. As for that reflection, the lightning bolt had shockingly blasted open an immense crack through it.

This destructive lightning bolt actually contained two types of damage; damage to the physical body and direct damage to the soul!

Yuan Zhan's defence was already relatively puny. After being electrocuted by this lightning bolt, his vision instantly darkened as acute pain terrorized his heart.

After a momentary paralysis, Yuan Zhan regained mobility of his body as he rolled backwards without hesitation while gasping heavily!

Yuan Zhan had already devised many retreating routes here. Upon tapping his shoulder gently, the ground beside him suddenly collapsed. Cement crumbled down as a passageway leading to the lower floor emerged.

To Yuan Zhan's horror, when he descended to the ground level, he discovered a barrage of warping positively charged electric snakes were bolting towards him!

In a heartbeat, they were about to adhere onto his body! As it turns out, once the positive and negative charges of spirit electricity linked up on his body, an incomparably devastating spirit lightning bolt would imminently strike down onto his head.

Instead, Yuan Zhan would rather suffer ten stabs than being zapped by that devastating spirit lightning! The pain of having one's soul electrocuted and fried wasn't something so easily bearable.

Thus, Yuan Zhan decisively activated an item. In a flash, a mirage of him divided from his body. Those positively charged electric snakes instantly adhered onto the mirage.

Boom! An immeasurably fatal spirit lightning bolted down and blinded his eyes!

After merely separating two metres away from Yuan Zhan, the spirit lightning bolt punctured Yuan Zhan's mirage with undefiable sharpness and utter vaporized it. Furthermore, the power contained in the lightning failed to disperse but bolted to a besiding ground floor vehicle.

Boom! The vehicle exploded with raging flames as metallic debris scattered around.

In the midst of churning black fumes, Yuan Zhan scurried out looking exceedingly pathetic. Though he managed to dodge the direct might of the spirit lightning, he was still affected by its aftershock.

To his extreme fright, those devastating positively charged electric snakes lingered on as they slithered towards Yuan Zhan from all four corners of the room.

It was at this moment, Yuan Zhan understood that he had underestimated Aldaris! The Aldaris who sneakily chose not to reveal his talents, yet when he finally exploded forth with full might, he brought along a despairing wave of terror with him.

That 'Spirit Lightning' ability was akin to the fetters of death. Not only could it devastate the flesh, it could viciously torment the soul. From the looks of it, presumably the only reason Aldaris hadn't exposed his true capabilities was this - all who had witnessed it, had already perished!

The dreadful positive charges of electric snakes encircled around Yuan Zhan, in preparation to usher in a terrifying bolt of spirit lightning.

This time, there was nowhere for Yuan Zhan to escape.

A thick white electric brilliance arrived, evoking a tempest of berserking energies that poured down onto Yuan Zhan's body. Even the ground erupted with clouds of dust!

Don't mention the formidable Yuan Zhan caught in the electric tempest. Even those few rats scuttling 5-6 metres away were paralyzed on the spot, their flesh, blood, moisture content and bones were completely fried by the ravenous lightning; dispersing as fine dust when the wind blew!

But on the contrary, it was as if nothing happened to Yuan Zhan. Instead, his face revealed a malevolent and venomous glare. In contrast, the few summoned beasts that were frenetically assailing Aldaris, unanimously roared with anguish; as though they just sustained tremendous injuries.

This was one of the newest abilities Yuan Zhan had obtained - 'Bioforce Aid'. It allowed his summoned beast to replace him and sustain all damages.

Nevertheless, this was a method akin to quenching thirst with poison. Firstly, the damage transferred to the summoned beasts wouldn't factor in their defences. Thus, how much the enemy's theoretical damage dealt, was how much the summoned beasts would endure.

Secondly, every time they received damage, the loyalty rate of the summoned beast would plunge by 1-3 points, and similarly reduce the maximum limit of loyalty rate! This indicated that no matter how hard one strived, the original relationship between the summoned beast and the summoner could never be restored.

Nevertheless, Yuan Zhan couldn't care less at this point. He started to chant a curse out loud. Before him, numerous black clouds fumigated out and morphed into a black formation array that was as glossy as a mirror lens.

Soon after, two deathly white giant skeletal arms emerged, and dragged out a furtive black door that was as tall as two humans combined. That black door resembled a vertically standing unlid coffin!

In the next second, multitudes of blood sucking bats flew out wildly and emitted piercing and bewildering jesting screeches. Like a rolling black cloud, they charged towards Aldaris.

Evidently, the current Yuan Zhan had realized Aldaris's biggest flaw - though his offensive were unbeatable, they were all single target strikes! As such, summoned creatures of sheer quantities would be his downfall!

These blood sucking bats had been painstakingly gathered by Yuan Zhan. At present when employing them on Aldaris, it implied that Yuan Zhan had unknowingly classified Aldaris amongst the same category of rivals like Zi.

In this instant, Aldaris's 'MP-Guard' had already been rapidly thinned out into nothingness by the summoned beasts.

A pack of insatiable blood suck bats were soaring towards him.

Even the terribly fragile life force of Yuan Zhan was linked with his few summoned beasts!

Without a doubt, Aldaris was facing a life or death crisis.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Zi hadn't even battered a single eyelid over. On the contrary, she was unleashing fiercer assaults at Sable!

Her silver rapiers thrusted through the air as they faintly carried the furious bellows of gigantic beasts! Under the endless barrage of thrusting rapiers, Sable's vertebra long saber had completely lost its splendor.

Sable was, after all, a berserker type fighter whose offenses pale in comparison to his defenses. Being forced into such dire straits, he was completely battered and exhausted

All of a sudden, Zi converged both hands. The two breathtaking silver resplendent rapiers seemingly merged into one.

From the sky, a sudden flash came tearing down like lightning, irradiating the whole earth with matchless radiance, and precisely shone upon the merged silver rapier!

That merged silver rapier instantly shot out from Zi's hands. After rotating a round in the air, it pierced deep into the ground.

Instead, Sable instantly released a blood-curdling scream. One could notice that a tremendous irresistible force had gripped him; a boundless and incorporeal force was noiselessly pushing up his legs, rendering him utterly immobile as he was propelled into the sky.

Right at this instance, Zi's long robe fluttered as her silver rapier flew back into her grasp. Then, she soared towards the sky carrying thousands of billowing force beneath, before thrusting her silver rapier up and impaling Sable's underbelly! Ruthlessly pinning him further up towards the sky!
