Chapter 1031: Buying More Time
Vale had warned Lisa about the powers of Chaos Immortals... However, the fact that they could warp the surrounding force and affect her control over divinity still surprised her.
It was no wonder that the previous Council of the Arcane Paths decided to exile these practitioners.
If they mastered this path, it would be a disaster to all other Arcane Arts Practitioners.
It was simply too strong, and it would change the balance of power in this realm.
Perhaps, the only Arcane Arts that could truly fight equally against the Chaos Arts Practitioners were practitioners of the Void Arts and those users of Celestial Arts.
As the battle continued, Kent changed tactics...
He started using thrusts instead of slashes, aiming for speed over power.
But as expected of the Vampire Queen, Lisa was faster.
She could vanish even in front of Kent, and she could reappear behind him.
If that wasn’t the case, she could also turn her body into a mass of blood and avoid any critical strikes! She was too slippery!
Then, whenever an opportunity would show, her blade would come down in an arc meant to sever his spine.
After 20 or so exchanges, Lisa did the same move...
Bang!
A shield of condensed Chaos Energy erupted from Kent’s back just in time. This strike bounced off and Chaos Energy started corrupting her sword...
"Tsk..." Lisa frowned as her Blood Energy was getting consumed every moment.
She couldn’t last for long...
However, she must buy more time for her Time Manipulators.
Their offensive plan hasn’t ended after all. They were planning to at least capture or eliminate a few Chaos Immortals right now.
Suddenly, Kent started grinning as he looked at Lisa... "Good... you’re forcing me to actually enjoy this."
With a stomp, the airship’s deck fractured beneath them as Kent’s aura erupted.
Chaos Energy burst outward, and the amount of divinity was stronger than what Lisa had seen from Vale.
It was probably because Vale never had a chance to fully showcase his Divinity. However, Lisa also couldn’t help but worry.
This amount of Divinity should be prohibited within this realm...
Soon, a wave of Chaotic Energy was trying to invade Lisa’s body to destroy her internal organs...
However, Lisa didn’t back down...
She finally uncapped Vale’s Blood and consumed it without hesitation!
Soon, she was filled with Shadow Divinity!
"Ha!"
She then cut through the wave in rapid succession!
Then, it was at this time that Kent used a proper Spell.
This Spell created several hands made of his own Chaos Energy...
One of them was able to wrap around Lisa’s ankle.
It was such a surprising move, but before it could pull, Lisa’s form dissolved into a swarm of blood mist, reforming above Kent.
’Urghh... That ability is so annoying... Even my Chaos Arts couldn’t stop that...’ Kent frowned as he had been trying to suppress Lisa from using her Divinity and Arcane Arts.
However, for some reason, she was always unaffected by his tricks. It was as if his Chaos Energy was just a normal energy that couldn’t affect her no matter what he did...
’There must be a trick or limit to that...’ Kent thought.
Indeed, he believed that she still had a limit. There was no way she was immune to Chaos Energy. He knew that if he kept trying, he would still succeed.
Just like that, Kent was fully invested in this battle, as it was a very important matter to everyone.
If Chaos Immortals like them have a weakness that the enemies could exploit, Kent wanted to know what that was to ensure that it would not happen to everyone else.
Soon, Lisa dove down with her blade aimed straight for his head.
Kent raised his spear to block, but this time Lisa’s strength wasn’t hers alone.
More draconic energy from Orden’s blood surged through her, and when their weapons met, Kent was driven to one knee.
Shadow Divinity started spreading throughout Lisa’s body!
"W-what kind of strength is this?!" Kent was confused. He didn’t expect to be overpowered by an Immortal who ascended in this human realm.
He should be stronger in terms of physique and amount of Divinity!
Kent was driven mad at this thought as he shoved her back with a pulse of Chaos Force that shattered the airship’s railing.
He was trying to use Immortal Essence in this battle!
"Kent! Stop now!"
"We’ll help you!"
"Let’s kill that woman!"
Eryn and the others realized what was going on as well.
Their original plan to easily subdue the lone Immortal had completely failed.
The presence of the Time Manipulators had also disrupted their plans to mobilize the Chaos Beast... It was unforgivable.
Now, even Kent was forced to use his Immortal Essence!
He was simply being too rash, and they had to stop him!
However, Kent was stubborn.
"Just a couple more exchanges! I’ll take care of her!"
It was now a matter of pride... Kent was leading the Draven Clan, their Faction, for a long time. It wasn’t because he was good at managing people, but because he was strongest at that time.
However, after becoming the leader, he rarely had the chance to join any battle.
Now, he believed that because he had been relying on others for too much, his battle sense had completely declined.
He couldn’t accept it!
Thassa and the others could only accept their leader’s decision.
In any case, they could just use the resources of this realm to recover his Immortal Essence...
This was especially true if they found the source of Dragon Blood that Lisa had been using throughout the whole battle.
"If you use more of your Immortal Essence. We will be stopping you, Kent. End it fast! While we destroy the Immortal Tower..."
With that said, the Chaos Immortals turned to the Tower.
Since Lisa was busy dealing with Kent, they should just take over this place.
Unfortunately for them, this wouldn’t be an easy task.
As they got closer, time distortions from Liora, Elysia, and Cyper disrupted the Chaos Immortals from using their Spells...
There was even some misfiring of Spells which alarmed everyone...
It felt as if a stronger Chaos Immortal was messing with them!
"Tsk... I didn’t expect that Time Manipulators could do that."
