Chapter 1530: Defense

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1530: Defense

Unlike Flamel, who struggles as if constipated each time he summons a meteor to land, taking a great deal of effort and time, Meilin’s Sixteen Linked Meteor Technique, after the second clear hit on Pei Yan, deliberately accelerated the descent of the subsequent meteors. One after another, in the blink of an eye, nine meteors connected end to end fell from the void, crashing directly onto the arena.

Although this arena is set up in the void, the spectators could tangibly feel the immense destructive power of this forbidden curse from the swaying, crumbling platform showering debris and dust downward. Under the arena, both sides set up a defense array to prevent the platform from failing to withstand the forbidden curse’s attack, potentially penetrating the arena and causing collateral damage.

"Hehehe, Pei Yan! This time, he’s really overextended! He should have acted the moment Aleister summoned Meilin to interrupt. Even if he couldn’t completely stop the opponent’s summon, he could have thrown them into an imperfect state. Now he’s in for some real trouble." Lin Daozi mocked with a laugh, watching Pei Yan being ground into the ground. Both seen as the young generation of the Child of Origin, Lin Daozi had no major grudge against Pei Yan, but he was often compared to him and ended up on the losing side, which left him somewhat discontent. Seeing Pei Yan suffer this time, he couldn’t help but feel a little schadenfreude.

"Indeed! This is Master Merlin! Even in other planes, he’s a legendary figure. Moreover, the current Meilin is at his strongest. You could say Pei Yan would fare better meeting a truly resurrected Meilin than the current one." On the other side, Jin He Xuan shook his head and helplessly agreed with the statement.

"Why?" Long Jin asked, puzzled. Wouldn’t the real presence of Meilin exhibit greater strength?

"Because this is a forbidden curse cast using the Power of Origin with the time attribute, for which Aleister sacrificed an artifact that followed him all his life and his entire source energy and life force. The current Meilin also contains time attribute features. Do you wonder why he can cast such a forbidden curse so quickly?" Jin He Xuan side-eyed Long Jin, hinting.

Long Jin understood quickly after the hint and exclaimed, "You mean Meilin isn’t casting the curse but summoning a forbidden curse he once used directly from the time stream!"

"Exactly! Just watch! The forbidden curse is only the beginning. If he can also summon the artifacts Meilin has encountered, then Pei Yan’s real tough battle begins." Jin He Xuan nodded, sighed, and then changed the topic, "But there are pros and cons! Even now, Meilin appears through Aleister’s summoning magic. Although he uses concentrated self-power to cast magic, this can’t last long. Eventually, someone will fall from overcasting; it’s now up to them to see if they can deal the most effective blow to defeat Pei Yan within this period."

Boom!

The intense explosion on the arena interrupted the void discussion. A total of nine meteors fell, and when the fifth meteor struck the ground and shattered, just as the sixth was about to make contact, a hand suddenly emerged from the stone. Simultaneously, a network formed by source energy threads rose from the ground, slicing the debris-laden surface into small squares. As the Source Energy Net contracted and rose, the subsequent falling meteors were also included in the cutting range, instantly sliced into countless pieces, which fell like a torrential rain from the sky.

"High-tier Fire Magic. Lava Technique! High-tier Fire Magic. Fire Rain Technique!"

The two spells were almost simultaneously incanted by Meilin and Aleister in the air. The incantation triggered the array, and a sky full of fire rain merged with scattered meteor fragments, turning into Meteor Fire Rain that fiercely smashed toward Pei Yan, who had just emerged from the meteor ruins. At the same time, dark red firelight surged from the divided earth beneath Pei Yan’s feet, and scorching lava erupted from ground fissures, instantly surrounding Pei Yan’s location.

"Hybrid Forbidden Curse. Blazing Corrosion!" Hecate’s hands shifted the array again, emitting another hybrid forbidden curse. As the form of the Elf Master behind him changed, the spewed lava in the field rose and transformed into massive hands grabbing at Pei Yan suspended mid-air.

In the blink of an eye, Pei Yan seemed to be in a purgatory, besieged on all sides by their spells, inciting a murderously intense desire within him. Ignoring everything, he opened his arms and punched forcefully into the scorching lava below him.

The lava, enhanced by Hecate’s forbidden curse, showcased its astonishing destructive power. Compared with ordinary high-temperature lava, it also had a high corrosive like strong acid. Almost the moment Pei Yan’s hands entered the lava, his hands, forged with many precious materials, began to rapidly melt and corrode.

Enduring the searing and corrosive damage to his hands, Pei Yan mobilized source energy, focusing his resonance power in his hands. With full force, the magma beneath him started to bubble as if boiling. As the vibration frequency was maximized, when Pei Yan swiftly lifted his hands forward, a towering wave of lava, over ten meters high, rose from the ground, crashing toward Meilin and the others.

At the same time, Pei Yan did not immediately repair his nearly lava-melted arms but instead shook his body, condensing more than twenty mechanical clones. Each mechanical clone raised an arm, aiming at the enemy formation and firing electromagnetic cannon shells one after another.

"Will of the Light God. Wall of Never Falling!" In a crisis, led by Gerald, the three knights unhesitatingly plunged their divine artifacts into the ground, activating their inner source energy and jointly launching the ultimate light defense method.

The so-called Light God, like the Elf King, is another name for the supreme beings of the magic plane in the human world. Holy Knight level knights, harnessing the Will of the Light God to launch knightly protection, is one of the strongest defensive arts in the magic plane. Once the spell succeeds, as long as the caster’s source energy and life aura aren’t extinguished, even with only a sliver of source energy, unable to support such an extensive defense, this defense array will not vanish or break, because it draws power from the will of the Master of Origin and the Power of Light Origin in the magic plane.

Now Urban and the others understand that purely in terms of offense, the three of them combined aren’t a match for Pei Yan. Their opponent’s physical quality and close combat style are too overwhelmingly powerful, so the main attackers are still the two Holy Mages and the Witch behind them. Their primary goal is to protect their safety, then find the right moment, if necessary, to deliver Pei Yan a fatal blow.
