VRMMO: The Unrivaled

Chapter 1449: Purgatory Ruler

Chapter 1449: Purgatory Ruler

Swhoosh!

Thick jets of blood shot into the air, and many complex runes representing life spun wildly around the duo. It was clear from Binglan’s suddenly pale face that she had cast the spell using her life force. Was she planning to seal the Great Saint again, or better—kill him once and for all!?

Buzz buzz buzz…

The Dragonslaying Sword shook violently as Binglan pushed more divine energy into the spell. She said, "We have fought for 10,000 years in the Frozen Purgatory of Spirit of Grief, Great Saint. You didn’t expect this to happen at the very end, did you?"

The Great Saint trembled for a moment before yelling on top of his lungs, "You think you can kill me, Dragon Speaker Binglan? Dream on! Even if you were ten times more powerful than you are now, you could never destroy me! I am the owner of the laws of darkness! I will outlast time itself!"

Binglan smiled. "You are right. I could never kill you. There is someone else here who can, however. She is the Wind Singer, master of the laws of light! Today is the day you die in her hands!"

The Great Saint’s pupils shrank. "Dammit!"

Binglan looked up at Xinran and said, "Use your strongest light-type battle technique, Xinran! Gather your divine energy and destroy the Great Saint’s divinity!"

……

Whoosh!

Xinran nodded as she descended from above. When the golden light erupting from the Dragonbone Spear grew to full force, she stabbed the Great Saint in the head and launched a destructive blow against his divinity!

"Ahhhhhhhhhh…"

The Great Saint howled in rage while shuddering all over. Bit by bit, his skin and his flesh began falling away from his body. It looked absolutely terrifying.

A smile peeked through Karinshan’s features. "Are we going to succeed? This is wonderful! Not even the Great Saint is a match for Lady Binglan and Lady Xinran combined!"

Ziyan was smiling as well. "Yeah. The laws of light are the Great Saint’s greatest bane!"

However, Sophia was less optimistic. "Hmph. When the Great Saint is dead, and the Purgatory Legion is completely wiped out, Sky City… is probably going to target the Violet Empire next because we are undead."

Xue Wei shuddered. "They won’t… will they?"

Reply came from Sophie that was hugging her wounded shoulder. "Don’t worry. Even if Dragon Speaker Binglan and the Dragon Domain support Sky City, we still have Xinran. Her improvement surprised even me. Maybe she’ll be strong enough to buy us some breathing space…"

Sophia nodded. "I hope you’re right, Lady Sophie…"

……

Swhoosh!

Suddenly, a figure dashed over and slammed into Binglan’s shoulder! It instantly broke the precarious balance Binglan and Xinran had done everything in their power to create!

Bang!

As Binglan was knocked backward, the Blood Barrier she maintained with her divine energy disappeared as well!

"Ka ka ka…"

The Great Saint laughed like a madman the moment he escaped the Blood Barrier’s suppression. After he kicked away Xinran’s Dragonbone Spear, he immediately flew back toward the Abyss of Death in an attempt to escape!

After Binglan steadied herself, she looked up and saw that her attacker was a monster with a crooked back. He carried a wooden stick on his shoulder, and at the tip of his wooden stick was a bag full of gems, gold and more valuables. He was none other than the Dragon Domain Scavenger! Heaven knows why he was helping the Great Saint, but if I had to make an educated guess, I would say that he had been taken over by the villain! His blood-red eyes were proof of that!

"You think you can run?"

Furious, Binglan aimed her palm at the Dragon Domain Scavenger and immobilized him with her Domain. "Vanish!"

Whoosh!

A jet of ice and fire turned the Dragon Domain Scavenger into a pile of dust instantly. The price of angering the ruler of Dragon Domain was death!

Meanwhile, Xinran cried while staring at the vortex, "Not good. The Great Saint is escaping!"

Binglan was frowning as well, but there was nothing she could do about this. Both she and Xinran had been seriously injured. There was simply no chance they could catch up to the Great Saint as they were.

……

"Await my return!"

The Great Saint taunted while cackling madly, "I won’t forget you two, Wind Singer Xinran, Dragon Speaker Binglan! The next time you see me, I promise to drain you both of your blood! You will die in my hands!"

I exchanged a fuming glance with Gui Guzi and Li Chengfeng. "For fuck’s sake! What the hell are we supposed to do when a boss this OP makes his comeback? We’ll all have to run for our lives…"

Lin Yixin asked, "Is this the ending of the patch event?"

Obviously…

—not!

……

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a large majority of the vortex turned a bright shade of red. Then, a bloody hand stretched out of the center of the vortex and caught the Great Saint’s half-decimated body. It wasn’t a skill either. The armor covering the hand was clearly a wristguard.

The Great Saint narrowed his eyes. "What is this?"

The next moment, the Great Saint shivered violently before condensing into an icicle. The owner of the big hand slowly walked out of the vortex, revealing himself to be an undead general clad in a blood-red armor. Still clutching the transformed Great Saint, the surprisingly handsome man shot Xinran and Binglan a glance before smirking. "Long time no see, Wind Singer. This is the first time we’ve met in several thousand years, and this is what you bring me as the reunion gift? You shouldn’t have!"

Shocked, Xinran stumbled backward until she bumped into my chest. While shivering violently, she murmured, "The… the Purgatory Ruler! Lin Na is here! Run, big brother! Run!!"

I tried to comfort her. "Do not be afraid, Xinran!"

"What are you waiting for? Run!" Xinran was blabbering at this point. "You don’t understand how scary Lin Na is! Run now while you still can!"

……

Lin Na couldn’t help but laugh. "Still attempting to protect the weak, Xinran? Hahaha! When will you learn, my innocent, pitiful girl? Even if you manage to protect them now, can you protect them forever?"

Lin Na then looked at the icicle the Great Saint had transformed into and chuckled. "Oh, I nearly forgot to eat this. Is there anything more delicious than the dark energy of the Great Saint himself? I doubt it…"

Lin Na suddenly swelled in size before he stuffed the entire icicle into his mouth. Black blood spilled out of his lips as he chewed. Who would’ve thought that the final boss of an era would be eaten like ice cream one day!?

"Thank you so much for delivering a major blow to the Great Saint. I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to eat him otherwise!" Lin Na cackled.

Xinran and Binglan both clenched their fists, but they dared not to act recklessly.

Suddenly, Lin Na’s cackle turned into a groan of pain. His stomach also looked to be writhing unnaturally.

"You dare refuse to become a part of me?"

Lin Na’s smile turned sinister as he picked up the Starlight the Great Saint had left behind earlier and stabbed his own stomach. Blood divine energy surged as he cackled some more. "Be of use to me, Great Saint! Hahaha, what a delicious power of darkness!"

For a while, he kept digesting the Great Saint while being attacked from the inside.

In the end, Lin Na was able to fully digest the Great Saint, but he himself had suffered quite the heavy damage. With a heavy bloodstain on his lips, he watched us all before suddenly fixing his gaze onto Sophie and snorting imperiously. "When are you coming back, Sophie?!"

Sophie simply brandished her blade and uttered, "Do not think you can enslave me again, Lin Na!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Na laughed loudly as he charged toward Sophie. "Try stopping me from taking you back then!"

……

Swhoosh!

Binglan rushed toward Lin Na and attempted to slash his back with the Dragonslaying Sword. The Purgatory Ruler was unfazed, but he was forced to turn back for an instant, clashed blades with her, and sent her crashing into a pile of ice.

Then, he continued toward Sophie at the same speed!

This time, Xinran blocked in front of Sophie and raised the Dragonbone Spear. While summoning her divine energy, she cried, "Spirit Piercing Umbrella!"

"Pointless technique!"

Lin Na laughed arrogantly before shattering the defensive skill in one thrust and leaping right over Xinran’s head!

Xinran didn’t back down, however. She jumped backward as much as she could before landing a powerful kick on Lin Na’s stomach. It was a blow that caused the Purgatory Ruler to spit out blood, but he ignored it and continued to fly toward Sophie. Once he was in range, he swung Starlight mightily at the former Purgatory Sovereign!

Bang!

Sophie raised her sword to parry the attack, but the blade shattered upon making contact with Starlight. The slash would have carved her entire shoulder if she hadn’t been sent flying to the distance like a broken kite. No one could imagine that the powerful Sophie wouldn’t be able to withstand even a single hit from Lin Na until it happened. There was no way Sophie was in a fighting condition after receiving such an attack.

……

Thud thud thud…

I ran forward and executed Ancient Seal + Dragon Slaying Slash combo. Then, I threw the Chill of the Nine Provinces at him! All things considered, the attack wasn’t completely useless—

21,736!

MISS!

59,172!

……

"Annoying mosquito!"

However, Lin Na simply left behind that comment before continuing to race after Sophie. He really wanted to kill her for some reason.

Swhoosh!

Binglan appeared again, blocking in front of the incapitated Sophie and unleashing a devastating War Dragon Strike at the same time!

Boom boom boom…

The Dragon Speaker possessed great power, and it was clear from Lin Na’s trembling body and shredded left shoulder that he didn’t walk away unscathed. However, Lin Na’s determination was greater than anyone could’ve expected!

"Get lost!"

He slashed Binglan in the shoulder and inflicted a horrible wound. Binglan remained exactly where she was and stabbed him through the heart. Then, she reappeared behind him and pulled her blade and Lin Na’s beating red heart right out of his body!

Whoosh…

A jet of icy flame turned the heart into ashes instantly. At the same time, Binglan dropped to her knees due to her serious injuries and deep exhaustion.
