Lord of the Magical Beasts - Chapter 714

Chapter 714: Eternal Yuna

Chirp!

The Golden Roc let out a sonorous whistle and folded its wings. It dived sharply from the sky and brandished its claws at the head of the City Amongst the Clouds, Harington. It was very swift, like a falling meteorite. Its fall increased its speed, and it emitted an ear-piercing noise.

“Soul Explosion!”

Yang Ling let out a shout and his tremendous Mental Energy began to flow. He attacked the soul of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds at full power. Then, he slashed the ground with the sharp Battle Soul Blade and leapt at his enemy. He deeply wished to hack him into pieces.

Swoosh!

The Golden Roc was very swift, and Yang Ling’s sprint speed at full-power wasn’t any slower. They reached the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds at the same time, and their sharp attacks emitted an ear-piercing noise. A murderous aura engulfed the area, and many fine spatial fissures appeared. There wasn’t just a scarlet halo around Yang Ling’s Battle Soul Blade now; there was also stunning fine serpentine lightning around it.

“Aurora Shield!”

Even though the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was facing the joint attack of Yang Ling and the Golden Roc, he maintained his composure, waving his hand to form a layer of defense around him. Then, he thrust the sharp Light Sword, instantly penetrating the Golden Roc’s hard scales and fiercely stabbing its body. Yang Ling’s soul attack had only made the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord furrow his brows, and the Golden Roc’s large claws had only swayed his body lightly. They weren’t able to inflict any deadly injuries on him!

Roar!

The Golden Roc let out an angry roar and soared into the sky. It bore its pain and launched more ferocious attacks. Its large claws were bright red, and they emitted brilliant rays. It still hadn’t recovered to its peak state, but it didn’t believe that it couldn’t break the Aurora Shield of Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds.

“Soul Dissolving Spell!”

Yang Ling’s pupils contracted, and he cast the Soul Dissolving Spell with his whole power. He fiercely thrust his blade into the neck of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds. This was an all-out attack! The sharp Battle Soul Blade made a sizzling noise. The murderous aura that engulfed the land had also made the angels in the vicinity shiver with fear.

…

“It’s incredible! Who is this youth, and why is his power so terrifying?”

“It really is astonishing. He dared to fight the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds! No ordinary person could do that.”

“This is so strange. I have visited many Dimensions for the past tens of thousands of years. Why have I never heard about this youth?”

…

The crowd witnessing the battle of Yang Ling and the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord exclaimed in admiration, and they discussed the battle spiritedly. This was the first time in so many years that someone dared to fight the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds head-on. The situation of Yang Ling and the Golden Roc was far from good, but the crowd still admired them for their unyielding fighting spirit.

“Consecutive Soul Explosions. Explode for me, explode, explode!” When Yang Ling discerned that he wasn’t a match for the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord, he feinted, then suddenly attacked the Twelve-Winged Angels around them. He planned to get on the Golden Roc and push out of the encirclement by force. He really didn’t want to enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension unless it was absolutely necessary. If he lured the wolf into his house, he would get in still greater trouble.

“Ah! My head, save me!”

“Ah!”

…

The angels in the vicinity had encircled Yang Ling and the Golden Roc tightly, and they didn’t expect that Yang Ling would still have the guts to attack them. They were caught off-guard, and their soul defenses were instantly broken by Yang Ling’s sharp attacks. They got splitting headaches, as though their heads were being bitten by a thousand ants. They held their heads as they rolled around, crying out loudly for help. The souls of some were even extinguished on the spot.

A large opening appeared in the tight encirclement.

Recently, Yang Ling had absorbed a large amount of Worldly Spiritual Qi and Wish Power. He was already close to advancing to the peak of the Soul Wizard Stage, and he’d also studied further Wizard Spells. His all-out attack couldn’t pose a deadly threat to the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, but it was a disaster for the ordinary angels, who had been caught off-guard.

“Mertesacker, let’s leave.” After Yang Ling’s attack succeeded, he cast another Soul Explosion to block the attack of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord before he mounted the Golden Roc. The Golden Roc let out a whistle, spread its wings, and flew easily through the gap in the defensive line. It was as fast as lightning!

“Damn it! You won’t get away!”

When the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds saw so many angels holding their heads and rolling on the ground, he flew into a rage and attacked. He was faster than the Golden Roc, and he instantly blocked their path. He thrust his sharp Light Sword into the Golden Roc’s belly, releasing a large amount of energy. This energy ran amok in the Golden Roc’s body, inflicting serious injuries on his internal organs.

Ah!

The Golden Roc let out a pained cry and tried to push the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds with its claw, as he was trying to break its Godhead. It wanted to get Yang Ling and escape far away. Instead, blood gushed out of its belly, and its physical power became weaker. Its consciousness also turned muddled. It fell toward the ground like a kite with a broken string.

“It’s awful!”

Yang Ling cried in alarm and wove Wizard Seals. He moved the Golden Roc into the Godhead’s dimension as quickly as he could. He activated the Teleportation Gate bracelet he wore, planning to teleport far away. The Five Elements Evasion Spells were very swift, but unfortunately, their scope was limited. Even if he teleported successfully using those spells, he had no assurance that he would get rid of an abnormal expert like the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds. However, the Teleportation Gate’s teleportation distance was much higher than the Five Elements Evasion Spells; its sole flaw was that its activation spell was a tad slower.

“I said that none of you will escape!”

The City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord let out a shout and tore a large spatial fissure with his right hand. He explored the void, planning to capture the Golden Roc, which had disappeared. Unexpectedly, he caught nothing, and he couldn’t detect the Golden Roc’s presence any longer.

“Huh? That’s impossible!”

When the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds failed to catch anything, his expression changed dramatically. Even if an ordinary person used a scroll to teleport into a Physical Dimension, he would still be able to sense them. With his powerful Divine Consciousness, he could also easily find the Alien Dimension, where summoners stored their Summon Beasts. Somehow, though, he’d unexpectedly lost track of the Golden Roc.

An Ancient Wizard’s magical abilities really were tremendous!

After the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds got over his shock, he looked at the bracelet around Yang Ling’s hand, which glowed with silver light, and at the Teleportation Gate, which was forming slowly in the air. He raised his brows and flew toward the Gate. He aimed his sharp sword toward Yang Ling’s heart. He was very swift, reaching Yang Ling in seconds

Only a single moment was left!

Yang Ling looked at the callous eyes of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord and at his Light Sword, which shone with a cold glint. The Light Sword was getting close, and his pupils couldn’t help but contract. He would finish activating the Teleportation Gate in just a second. Unfortunately, the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds was faster, so fast that Yang Ling couldn’t even enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension in time.

Should he risk his life and face the opponent head-on?

Yang Ling gnashed his teeth and cast the Ground Protection Spell once again. However, when he was about to face the enemy and slice his neck with his blade, some ripples appeared suddenly in the air next to him. Then, a woman clad in a white robe appeared, running hastily toward Yang Ling. She blocked the deadly strike of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord.

Thump!

Yang Ling heard a familiar muffled noise and felt a touch that he could never forget. He also smelled a scent he knew, a delicate fragrance that seeped into one’s heart.

Yuna! At this critical juncture, she was the only person other than Yang Ling that could leave and enter the Wizard Pagoda’s dimension. Yuna had heard what was happening from the heavily injured Golden Roc and teleported out. She rushed to protect Yang Ling!

The Light Sword shattered Yuna’s Godhead and penetrated her heart. It had also pierced Yang Ling’s body, cutting into his Wizard Core. The Nine-Dragon Divine Ring was useful sometimes, and useless at other times, perhaps because Yang Ling still hadn’t finished refining it. That was probably why the mystical protective nine dragons didn’t appear.

“No… Yuna!”

Yang Ling hugged Yuna’s body as it turned cold, and he lowered his head to observe her pale, beautiful face. He stared at her tightly closed eyes. He couldn’t help but raise his head and let out a loud cry. Every moment he passed with Yuna ran across his mind. He wanted to cast a supreme Wizard Spell and die here in front of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds. Just then, however, the sharp Light Sword released berserk energy, inflicting serious damage on his Wizard Core. He couldn’t cast even a simple Wizard Spell, let alone a supreme Wizard Spell that could take down the enemy with him.

“City Amongst the Clouds, I swear that I will come back one day.”

Yang Ling retained only a little bit of reason. He gave up on pointless counterattacks and picked up Yuna’s cold body. He swiftly strode through the Teleportation Gate. He used his fuzzy senses to teleport, gritting his teeth to use the last bit of power in his body. Before leaving, he swore an oath that he would one day slaughter everyone in the City Amongst the Clouds with his Magical Beast Army. He also swore to chop off the head of the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds one day.

“You don’t have to swear an oath. You’ll never get the chance.” The City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord, Harington, wore an ice-cold expression as he thrust his sharp Light Sword. He attempted to chop off Yang Ling’s head before he could teleport away. He was a powerhouse who had experienced the Ancient Gods and Devils’ War, and he knew well the terror of Ancient Wizards. He would rather face the joint attack of the King of Darkness and the Power King than the assassination and revenge of an Ancient Wizard.

“Harington, you are so daring!”

At this critical juncture, when the sharp Light Sword of the City Amongst the Clouds’ Lord was about to slice open Yang Ling’s throat, a loud shout reverberated in the Lord’s mind. A scarlet light suddenly appeared on the horizon. It was as swift as lightning, and it flew towards them with a thunderous momentum.

“Fire Symbols? Could it be…”

When the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds’ saw the swift scarlet light and noticed its unusual ripples, he shivered. He couldn’t help but recall a certain person. Those events were buried many years ago, yet certain scenes still emerged in his mind. He was shocked, and his face turned pale. He held the Light Sword tightly, becoming wary, as if he were facing a great enemy. He couldn’t bother with hunting down the wounded Yang Ling anymore; he allowed him to enter the Teleportation Gate with Yuna. As a swooshing noise echoed out, they disappeared completely.

“I didn’t think I was late.” The scarlet light reached the Lord of the City Amongst the Clouds, and a fuzzy silhouette was engulfed in it. When this person saw the bloodstains on the ground and failed to detect Yang Ling’s aura, his expression turned ice-cold. “Harington, I didn’t expect that you would still be so stupid even after so many years. Even if you were more loyal, what can the supreme Creator give you? Could he help you become a Creator, become his equal? Since you seem to be seeking death, show me your progress so far.”

The fuzzy silhouette pulled its sharp sword. In an instant, a scarlet light engulfed the land, and strange flames appeared in the air. The flames danced in the sky like snowflakes and rained upon the ground. In an instant, the ground became as scalding as a volcanic crater. It was difficult for one to stand on it. Even the air turned scalding.

An intense battle between two apex experts was about to take place in the Nine Phantom Mountain Range!
