Shira's breathing patterns changed accordingly as she tried to find the best balance between the borrowed Ice and Water laws and her innate fire bloodline.However, her attempts were thwarted by Mu Chen's continuous attacks, his halberd slashes were getting wilder and wilder, and Shira was already injured, missing both legs.The injury didn't affect her too much for the time being, but the more injuries that piled up on her body, the further the battle inclined towards Mu Chen's victory.Shira's breathing continued to change as she fended off most of the attacks that would kill her, choosing to trade injuries for any opportunity to change her breathing pattern, which made Mu Chen quite puzzled about why was she doing this, he thought that she was charging a special attack, but he could see that she wasn't using anything that he was familiar with when it came in regards to phoenixes.Shira's power was also fluctuating wildly, sometimes weaker, sometimes stronger than what she was initi
A few minutes before Shria collapsed... (Pov Change)The earth layers on my body were shaking intensely as I was finally grasping the last transformation that was undergoing inside my body, the changes were strengthening my body, hardening it, just like a piece of polished rock.My physical strength was improving greatly, and I could feel that the earth law was stabilizing my body, making it more balanced, creating a perfect tripartite muscle region where all, power, speed, and explosiveness were all in balance.I opened my eyes slowly as I checked my internal situation, slowly getting used to the newly transformed state of my body.I clenched my fists lightly as I felt the thunderous power of the earth coursing through my veins, and I couldn't help but smile lightly.This was another success.Now, I felt that my body could adapt to another law, so I immediately delved into the memories that contained all the knowledge about the poison law, which immediately poured into my body, my un
The healing process was slow and painful, the stretched-out body could barely patch itself up after it had been pushed so far due to the law fusions.My eyes had already gone back into their sockets, but my broken skin, bones, and organs still had a hard time recovering from their shattered states.The pain made me unable to concentrate on anything, the reconstruction of my body was so painful that it made me want to scream. However, my throat was out, and I didn't have any more control of my body at the moment, so I couldn't even scream.It was quite a shit experience, and the time passed so damn slowly when I was hurt, I couldn't do anything in this situation, well, there was one thing actually... but it would leave my body vulnerable.I could remove my soul from the body and let it recover on its own, but it would most likely slow the recovery speed considerably, and while Shira could guard it, I didn't believe that Shira would be able to protect it properly.I sighed softly inside
Now that my body was fully recovered, I talked with Shira a bit before sitting back on the throne.I wasn't sure when the next invasion would happen, but until then, I could train the poison law that I just learned.I took out some items that I stored in my clothes, starting with a low-level law item. It was a small needle-shaped substance that smelled acrid and putrid, it was very soft to the touch to the point you wouldn't realize you held something in your hands if you didn't see it.The contents of this item were toxins of very high efficiency that I immediately absorbed into my body, where the juvenile poison law that I just learned started to devour them, while I analyzed the contents of the poison and memorized them, getting a deeper understanding of the poison law as it ran its course through my body.The power of poisons was one of the weaker ones among the laws as people that have mastered it would become immune to poisons, which meant that if two poison law users met, they
I and Shira glanced at each other. We would be monumentally weakened the moment we got too far from the Ice Palace as we would be unable to make use of its barrier.We should be able to fight Mu Chen off if we put our strengths together if he ever tried something funny during our journey.But he also had some strong underlings behind him, some of them even as strong as us without the boost of the barrier.I moved my eyes to meet Mu Chen's gaze before saying:"If you want our help I would like you to swear an oath to not attack us for at least one month after we get rid of the devil fragment."Mu Chen easily accepted the condition, not even bothering to ask for an oath back as he knew that we might be able to fight him back if he attacked, but we wouldn't be able to keep him if he tried to escape, so he didn't need the guarantee from the oath.As for the underlings below him? They would all be pretty harmless if they didn't get the help of the big boss.I let out a small sigh as I shoo
Shira and I were able to hold up our front in the face of the relentless attack from the demon elites.All of them had different elemental laws that they were able to combine, but they weren't on good terms with each other, they fought alone, making it easier for me and Shira to be able to counter and even kill them swiftly as we fought as one.Our experience fighting together gave us a pretty obvious edge against the demons, and they understood it perfectly as the fight continued. However, they were unable to mimic our ability by suddenly starting to fight together, they were unable to concentrate properly and mix their elemental attacks, some of them canceling each other as they couldn't get the perfect balance that would result in an explosive attack that was double or even triple its normal strength.The thousands of demons that were encircling us were beginning to dwindle, but their numbers were still huge considering our allies were barely a few hundred.They were all elites of
The devil wasn't bothered in the least that his 'subordinate' had all been annihilated. He was more annoyed by the gaping hole in his chest as he attempted his best to close it.There was a frown on his pale face as his red eyes wandered amongst the people that were ready to attack him.Shai Kun was already fusing a few laws, creating an attack similar to the arrow I and Shira made, he wanted to get rid of the devil in one fell swoop!The devil knew that he would be unable to survive an attack from someone who had 4 mastered laws without using a few meat shields, unfortunately, all of his available meat shields had already expired!He looked down at the floating pitchfork as he attempted to summon it back to his side, but Shai Kun didn't let him, he appeared in front of him and he placed both of his fists on the slowly closing hole in the devil's chest before a grunt left his lips as a shockwave exploded from both of his fists at once.The attack came with a burst of wind, lightning,
We stopped fighting the water world item as it rushed towards the disappearing Mu Chen and his fellows.It looked like they were attempting to get rid of Shai Kun so he could stabilize the position of the Fire Palace as the first organization in the eastern part of the galaxy.Considering how full of schemes the people in this area were, Shai Kun should have thought about such a thing happening, yet he still darted into the hell dimension after the devil...What was he after?I shook my head slowly as I thought about those things, the wind palace people had gone after Mu Chen to stop him from destroying the planet and entombing their patriarch, but they were a little bit weaker compared to Mu Chen's group as they didn't have a person who mastered almost four laws amongst them.Mu Chen and his people should be able to win after a short fight.Of course, there was still the water world item, that would most likely work with the wind palace people now.An unlikely alliance, but since bot
