Chapter 1001: Hold Your Ground
Leona and Diana volunteered to stay behind the palace, and they were the only ones best suited to do it.
The chaotic tentacles whipped mercilessly on their bodies, and they turned a blind eye; The blade slashed through the haunting tentacles, turning into streamers and ramming into the encirclement.
But this is a one-to-one battle, and the opponent is not a vulnerable mortal creature.
The tentacle monsters attacked in groups, and finally stopped Leona who was rampaging through the battlefield. Her weapons and shields were tightly bound to her body with her hands, and her feet were nowhere to be used. The tip of the pale tentacle followed, and immediately turned into a sharp drill that pierced the light shield of her protective body, piercing through her shoulder, ripping out a handful of flesh.
The pain of piercing the heart made Leona clench her teeth, and the taste of blood spread down the sea, provoking the ferocity of the monsters around her, and more tentacles burrowed at her, and she could only let it be slaughtered.
The battle against the Void is so cruel, no matter how strong one's ability is, once one is caught and mistaken, he will fall into a situation from which he will never recover. And fighting with so many monsters, mistakes are inevitable, and if the two of them can't make up for each other, they will eventually be broken one by one and fall on the spot.
The more critical she gets, the more Leona realizes Diana's responsibility.
It turns out that the Moon Star Spirit is fighting these ugly monsters that can't be killed and destroyed on weekdays? Diana guarded the safety of the world from threat, but she still thought about bringing her back to the sect when the matter passed. But she is just following the guidance of her faith, but she has done things that harm the world, is her faith really as Jeno said, there is a deviation?
There was no time left for her to continue thinking about these inconsequential things, and before she died, Leona saw a white light running towards her.
Is that a reflection before death? Or is it just a hallucination?
Actually, it's not, it's Diana who is sprinting with all her might, desperate to break through the obstacles and come to save her.
The sword flashed away, and Diana chanted a spell, and the blade of the silver slashed out a chaotic moonlight, smashing the tentacles that drilled into Leona, and at the same time breaking the restraints on her body.
She then grabbed Leona's arm, activated the power of the ancient spirit lodged in her body, and transformed into a moon god and led the latter out of the encirclement.
The white light faded, and they landed on a seabed that had not yet been occupied by monsters, looking at the merman troops who were safely away, and the endless void behind them, Leona entered the depths of her subconscious, and raised a hand to awaken the grand power of the world beyond the giant peak.
"Nope." But then she lowered her arms in pain, and the expected scene of the sun's fire falling from the sky and vaporizing the monster and the sea water did not appear, and the darkness in front of her did not change.
"Don't force yourself if it hurts." Diana said with concern.
Leona shook her head and said the reason: "It's not because of pain, it's because the power of the sun can't reach the bottom of the sea so deeply. ”
Hearing Leona's words, Diana plunged her scimitar into the seabed, which also did not cause the vision of the moon.
"Sure enough......" Diana's brow furrowed deeply. In this unfathomable abyss, they are all cut off from their sources of power, unable to summon devastating satellite strikes!
"Retreat, these things are too difficult, and I can't guarantee that I will rescue you if you are caught up again." Diana reached out and put her arm around Leona's shoulder. The latter nodded, and the two quickly withdrew after the light that was about to disappear into the darkness in the distance.
They followed the light to a downward cavern, the entrance of which had been sealed with crystal by Jeno, leaving only a passage for one person to pass through.
Diana told Leona to pass first, and then get in again. At that moment, a tentacle came in and grabbed Diana's ankle to pull her out.
Leona made an instant decision, swung the zenith blade to sever the tentacles, and then pushed the Shield of Daybreak forward to resist the entrance of the passage. The sword-swinging motion exacerbated the piercing wound on her shoulder, but she didn't have time to worry about it at the moment, so she could only press her shoulder against the shield, holding on to prevent more tentacles from burrowing into the passage.
Geno noticed the situation and came over without saying a word to block the hole with crystals, relieving Leona's pressure and allowing her to breathe. Then he opened a bottle of the Fountain of Life and poured it directly into the seawater to treat the two scarred star spirits and restore some physical strength for the mermaids.
Jeno had never used the Fountain of Life so extravagantly, but he didn't feel distressed. Next, he needs the help of the Star Spirits, and the matter is far from settled.
"You come slowly, you may not know it, but the cave is connected at both ends. Monsters poured in from below, and through this inevitable path to the abyss to surround us. ”
As Jeno spoke, the bottom of the passage was filled with the sound of fierce fighting—the mermaids unleashed round after round of water-bladed barrage, strangling a tentacle monster that tried to burrow into the cave.
"Wouldn't that be worse?" Leona immediately realized the gravity of the situation, and they happened to be trapped in this vertical cavern by monsters at both ends of the mountain.
"It's okay, the upper end has been sealed by me, as long as you work together to hold the bottom, the monster can't break through for the time being."
"What about you? Don't stay in the cave? Diana could tell from Jeno's words that he seemed to have something else to do.
"I'll have to find the true Void Rift and seal it away, or I'll never be able to kill these monsters. If you just stay here, you will be consumed sooner or later. ”
Sealing the Rift has always been the highest priority, and killing Void creatures is not so necessary, because these things can starve to death if they are left alone. Just like zombies, although they are immortal, they will almost rot if they are left for decades.
"That rift is deeper down there, right?" Leona asked.
"I guess yes, we didn't find anything up there, so we had to go down and explore."
"Go ahead, we'll take care of it." Leona removed her hand from her shoulder, her wound healed and was as clean as ever. The broken armor was also repaired with the power of the star spirits, and it shone brightly.
"If you have such determination, come with me, go to the bottom of the cave and guard it, there is your battlefield."
Jeno led the two Star Spirits to the bottom exit of the cave, and the mermaids along the way gave way. Upon reaching their destination, Diana and Leona battle around the narrow terrain like two mortal gods, using their powerful flesh and divine weapons to fend off endless monsters. And behind him, there is a merman with a water blade to support, and there is no problem at all to defend this place.
