Chapter 1278: Section 1279: The Crown Reappears
Eulica’s clash with Angel, every contact between them, stirred up boundless waves of energy.
Such a terrifying display of power was enough to prove Angel’s current strength!
However, Angel had only reached the level of an Official Wizard in terms of bloodline, while Eulica was an Official Wizard on the bloodline side herself. In their clashes, Eulica clearly had the upper hand.
Beneath the veil of nightfall, the two figures intertwined rapidly. Outsiders couldn’t even make out any shadows, only seeing waves of energy continuously diffusing outward.
Some waves of energy even spread from the manor to beyond the aura of bloodlight!
However, after simplifying the sealing circle, the waves of energy became less forceful once they left the bloodlight, turning into fierce winds instead. The golden brilliance was almost blown away by this gale.
...
It was thanks to White Bear’s intervention, who erected a transparent barrier in front of them, that prevented the golden brilliance from being swept away.
But those winds transformed from the waves of energy coursed down the road, directly funneling toward Gru Town behind.
That night, the townsfolk of Gru Town felt the fierce winds howl outside. Even when they firmly shut their windows, they could still hear the whistling winds and the clatter of various objects being battered by wind and snow, as if someone was whispering mournfully.
Moreover, they could hear thunderous rumblings coming from the direction of Pat Manor as if thunder was striking.
No one dared to step outside, all of them huddled in their homes, praying in their hearts, waiting for this night to pass.
Meanwhile, within the bloodlight.
Angel was gasping for breath, but Eulica showed no significant change. Unscathed, she seemed to be on the cusp of victory over Angel, just as White Bear had speculated.
Due to his waning strength, Angel, caught off guard during an attack, was suddenly sent flying by a tremendous force.
A sudden flash of red light in Eulica’s eyes seemed to signal she had noticed something, her lips curling into a terrifying, sinister smile. Her figure accelerated suddenly, her bare toes tracing a fiery dance in the air as she dashed towards a certain point ahead.
There was nothing there, but Angel’s uncontrollable form happened to fall in that direction.
Unable to control himself, Angel provided Eulica with an opportunity.
With a sudden movement, Eulica pressed her hands to her waist, pulling out two long whips lined with sharp teeth, transforming them into two shadowy serpents!
Hiss—
Beneath the swirling snow, the howling wind, and the bright disk-like moon overhead.
The two whip-shadows, carrying immense blood energy, tore through the void as if two giant maws, baring their fangs under the moonlit sky, lashed vigorously at the uncontrollable form of Angel.
In the midst of the whip-shadows, Angel’s figure was split in two.
Flesh tore asunder, blood sprayed.
All who witnessed this scene showed expressions of shock.
Lyon’s gaze gradually became rigid, then hopeless, moisture suddenly filling his eyes as he muttered Angel’s name.
Elsewhere, Gold Brilliance covered her eyes, not daring to believe the scene unfolding before her.
The smoking pipe in Parsha’s hand dropped into the snow with a thud, and he himself fell to his knees, his face filled with a lost expression. Having seen Angel grow up since he was a child, Parsha never imagined that he, with all his white hair, would outlive Angel.
Eulica stood under the moonlight that resembled a colossal disk, laughing unrestrainedly as the wind whipped her hair around, much like a Gorgon of legend spreading fear around the world.
“Why, why didn’t you save him… isn’t he your disciple?” Gold Brilliance asked Sanders, her eyes still brimming with tears.
Sanders glanced coldly at Gold Brilliance and said nothing.
Instead, it was White Bear who softly said, “Keep watching. Angel… he isn’t so easily killed.”
No sooner had White Bear spoken than a figure flashed behind Eulica, hanging midair, unrecognizable against the backlight, but the bright golden hair was unmistakable!
With a loud “boom”, Eulica was smashed from the sky to the ground.
This sudden twist left the grieving crowd startled.
Gold Brilliance’s tears hadn’t even dried when she looked in astonishment towards the place where snow dust billowed, “Young Master Pat isn’t…” dead?
White Bear exhaled a long breath of relief inwardly, thinking: Just as I thought.
He had also been somewhat shocked earlier, thinking something might have really happened to Angel. But he noticed that Sanders remained calm from beginning to end, not showing any surprise, which made White Bear sense something was amiss.
Although White Bear wasn’t clear about the relationship between Sanders and Angel, he was certain that Sanders wouldn’t let Angel die so easily.
Who is Angel? According to White Bear’s understanding of the hierarchy of Angel’s identities, he is first and foremost an Alchemist, followed by a Disciple of Sanders, and only lastly a Wizard Apprentice of Barbarian Cave. Although all these identities belong to him, without a doubt, the identity of ‘Alchemist’ is the most famous.
Any Witcher Organization would not easily give up an Alchemist.
All the more since the only one who might potentially advance into an Alchemy Master from Barbarian Cave right now, is Angel.
Taking all circumstances into account, White Bear did not think Sanders would simply watch Angel die. Therefore, the only reason Sanders hadn’t taken action was that the current situation was still under Angel’s control.
It seemed that this was indeed the case.
Indeed, conjecture was just conjecture, and the unexpected twists in reality were truly unforeseen.
While White Bear was reflecting, Angel engaged in combat with Eulica again, and this time everyone finally noticed something—Eulica hit Angel multiple times, even inflicting what they thought were fatal wounds, but in the end, Angel still stood unharmed before Eulica.
“Illusion Technique?” Although White Bear couldn’t see what was wrong, he immediately realized the truth.
And the truth was indeed an illusion technique.
At first, when Angel got up close with Eulica, he was somewhat timid, but as soon as the real fight started, he discovered that although there was a significant gap between him and Eulica, he was not completely outclassed.
