Chapter 52 The Game of the Gods
Chapter 52 The Game of the Gods
Below, on the battlefield.
The ground suddenly bulged up, and several thick bone spikes pierced through the soil, stabbing straight into the two people.
Shinzo reacted quickly, shoving Liz aside and leaping backward.
Liz, who had been pushed aside, tumbled through the air and landed. She glanced at Shinzo with displeasure, but the enemy didn't give her a chance to speak.
A series of bone spurs rose from the ground, forcing her to jump repeatedly amidst the crisscrossing blades.
With great difficulty, she stepped on a broken bone spur and landed beside Xin Cang.
"Why are you pushing so hard?" she giggled. "Are you disgusted with me?"
"I wonder who fell from the sky just now, crying with tears all over their face."
"You're talking nonsense, that was blown by the wind!" Liz's fair cheeks instantly turned red.
"Have you finished giving your last words?"
The woman in purple robes interrupted the two of them, who were engaged in a mushy conversation.
The grayish-white death energy transformed into several pythons, which darted along the ground, blocking the two's escape route.
Wherever the deathly aura swept by, the soil turned charred black, emitting a pungent stench of decay.
Xin Zang charged forward against the deathly aura. His battle axe drew a dazzling red line in mid-air, slashing straight at the divine messenger's face.
But the frost quickly condensed into a thick ice shield.
The giant axe came crashing down.
Fire and ice collided violently, causing a large amount of water vapor to explode and obscure the surrounding view.
In the vast expanse of white mist, Liz glided by like a ghost.
The Shadow's Blessing granted her the ability to be undetectable in the shadows. When she reappeared, the short blade had already sliced through the frost mist behind the divine messenger, aiming straight for his throat.
However, the power of a second-tier transcendent should not be underestimated.
Liz saw the strange woman in front of her flick her sleeve backward.
The extraordinary power rippled outwards, causing the moisture in the air to condense into ice crystals, and the shockwave sent Liss flying.
Just as the divine messenger was about to finish off this annoying drow, the burning battle axe smashed through the remnants of the ice shield and struck the divine messenger's arm heavily.
An outburst of inner fire.
The flames interrupted her movements.
The fog dissipated.
Li Qinggu's expression turned grim as she looked at the sleeve that was mostly burned off. She clasped her hands together, and the bone spikes around her began to vibrate, with a faint, massive wave of death energy emanating from the depths of the earth.
A pair of enormous skeletal hands ripped through the ground, closed their knuckles, and completely enveloped the woman in purple robes in their palms.
The thick white bones formed an insurmountable barrier, blocking all attacks and probes from the outside.
Through the gaps in the bones, one could faintly hear the woman's hysterical, incoherent ramblings.
"Get out! Get out of here..."
"Don't look around!"
Xin Zang and Lis exchanged a glance. Although they didn't know what had happened, they gripped their weapons tightly and stood ready outside the Bone Hand.
They weren't kept waiting long.
The enormous bone hand began to weather away, turning into ashes that scattered across the sky.
The messenger of God stepped out from the swirling dust.
The loose purple robe was casually discarded and dissipated, her long, jet-black hair was simply tied into a neat ponytail with a strip of cloth. In her hand now lay a pale bone sword.
His entire demeanor underwent a dramatic change, becoming even more unrestrained and oppressive than before.
She looked down at her palms. The five fingers gripping the sword opened and then clenched again, the movements noticeably stiff. She twisted her neck and then awkwardly adjusted her posture, as if she had finally gotten used to her body.
"It's time to move on to the second round."
She spoke, a hint of joy in her voice.
……
High above the heavens.
"Time for the second round, tsk."
「(╬ ̄ dishes ̄)」
A string of gibberish flashed across Jane's screen: "I should really write down what you said, Master, and play it back to you every night before you go to sleep."
"Jane, I remember you weren't like this when I first found you."
"(*~︿~) I guess a person's personality is influenced by the kind of owner they have."
"This puppet is still a bit difficult to control. Why did Li Qinggu set it up like this?"
Jian turned around the blocky machine and looked at the main body behind him.
"Your prisoner seems to be a bit dead; there's no light in his eyes."
Li Qinggu was tied to a chair, and this deity's mental defenses were clearly on the verge of collapse.
"Tell her I'll only play with it for a little while, and I'll give it back to her if I break it." Liang Jiu said without looking up.
"You'd better not upset her right now," Jane sincerely advised.
……
Below, on the battlefield.
The "divine messenger" performed a rather clumsy sword flourish, tested the feel of the weapon, and seemed to find the light and agile weapon rather unsatisfactory.
Her free left hand clenched loosely, and a grayish-white death aura surged forth, forming a heavy white bone battle axe, the style of which was somewhat similar to the one in Xin Zang's hand.
She held a sword and an axe in each hand, raising an eyebrow at the two people in front of her.
"You can all come at me together."
Before the words were even finished, Xin Zang had already lunged forward, his burning battle axe, glowing with a blazing red light, slashing down at his head. Meanwhile, using the shadows as cover, Liz transformed into a streak of light, her short blade slicing straight for her opponent's lower body.
The two worked together to cut off all escape routes.
However, the current skill pool of the divine messengers is completely different from what it used to be.
The bone battle axe in her hand parried Xin Zang's axe blow.
"clang!"
Sparks flew everywhere. The immense recoil made Xin Zang's hand go numb, and his previously continuous offensive instantly came to a halt.
At the same time, the bone sword in her right hand swung downwards seemingly casually.
The sword's edge grazed the tip of Lyss's nose, deftly deflecting the approaching short blade, perfectly anticipating the half-drow's movement trajectory.

"Although it's a bit bullying, but..."
The "divine messenger" closed in. Her speed was much faster than before, and her strength was extraordinary.
The White Bone Battle Axe moves with sweeping, powerful strikes, each swing carrying an unstoppable momentum.
The bone sword, like a snake, weaved through the gaps in the battle axe's attacks, always stopping precisely in Liss's path the moment she was about to launch an attack.

The two became increasingly alarmed as they fought.
The enemy seemed to be able to anticipate all their actions and knew their fighting style inside and out.
He will no longer hold back his wealth.
Crimson fire and dark golden light burst forth simultaneously, forming a majestic and wrathful Vajra image behind him.
The dazzling flames spread outwards, transforming into a panorama of a hundred landscapes surrounding the area. On the canvas, the leaping flames depicted his past killings and deeds.
In the very center of the largest main image, amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a figure stands holding an axe, and in the shadows behind him, the silhouette of a drow elf can be vaguely seen.
[Evolutionary Hunter 90%]
Faced with such a display of power, the "divine messenger" became interested.
She threw down the bone sword and battle axe she was holding.
The ground trembled, and hundreds of pale bone spears burst forth from the earth, slanting into the surrounding soil, transforming the area into a grim graveyard.
The "divine messenger" casually pulled out two spears, twirled them in his hands a few times, and the spear tips cut through the air with a whistling sound.
Xin Zang learned many skills from the kobold Buddha statue, but as the god who bestowed these blessings, Liang Jiu possessed even more.
With this extraordinary second-tier body, one can use all kinds of martial arts.
