Chapter 728 - The Big Gift
The two of them begin to dodged and throw hits at each other, everyone who watches the fight was not blind they know this is not a fight between cultivator, Lory summoned her bow then release wind arrows but then Lao Min Na swallow her wind and reflect his attacked, Lory who used fight with magic cast the lucient barrier again then she summoned spirit wind, several transparent figures like fairy appear and attack Lao Min Na fiercely.
Lao Min Na then summoned a magical demon from the darkness, a behemoth made from skulls appear from the ground dripping with black smoke, the behemoth growl and attacked the fairies, as the two creatures fight each other Lory summoned his red dagger from her ring then she cast spells on the daggers and the daggers suddenly multiple to dozens of it, the dangers circled around Lory before it strikes Lao Min Na.
A sword made of dark miasma appeared, Lao Min Na quickly blocked the dagger attack, she nimbly dodged the dagger attack, her movement was fast and smooth but Lory did not discourage then she released another wind arrow at the same time she cast a flash spell to stun Lao Min Na.
The cultivators had stopped their fight long ago as they watched Lory and Lao Min Na fight with dumbfounded faces. They had seen many fights between cultivators, but they had never seen anything like this, like light and darkness trying to devour each other.
"What is this?" Tian Meng Ji's eyes bulged widely his eyeballs seem like it almost fall from it socket.
"It's magic" Yang Xi Ying answers with awed without looking at him.
"Who is that woman?" Mu Jan Ge didn't recognize Lory's real appearance.
"It's Luo Ri Yi, master," said Li Mo Zhen "That's is her real appearance" he explained again.
"What you mean real appearance?" Mu Jan Ge stunned.
"Is she a sorcerer, did Zhao Li Xin knew about this?" Tian meng Ji still held a doubt about Lory, he worries his disciple has been fooled.
Yang Xi Ying was annoyed by Tian Meng Ji's comment and she didn't bother to hide it either, "Nobody knows better than Zhao Li Xin, he's the one who insists on staying with Lory, not the other way around!" She scoffed in anger, who didn't know that Zhao Li Xin was the one who tracked down Lory after Lory saved her, and it was Zhao Li Xin who persuaded her to stay at her house under the pretext of working for him.
Tian Meng Ji was surprised by how protective Yang Xi Ying was towards Luo Ri Yi, she didn't expect that she would speak up for Lory. Li Mo Zhen patted Yang Xi Ying on the back to assuage his wife's anger, although he also didn't like Tian Meng Ji's words, even so he still managed to maintain his politeness because that old man was an elder and his master's old friend.
"It doesn't matter who he is or where he comes from, it didn't change the fact that she is our benefactor, besides us, she also helps many people including Zhao Li Xin, we wouldn't be here if it weren't for her and she had become Lords. Zhao precious pearl ever since then, It is better for Master Tian to be careful with your words so you wouldn't accidentally provoke Lord Zhao" Li Mo Zhen said politely.
"Old fool, can't you see that ever since she came he has been protecting your disciple, who cares if she's a sorceress or not as long as she uses his power for good!" Mu Jan Ge also rebuked Tian Meng Ji.
Being reprimanded from here and there Tian Meng Ji's expression became sullen, why did he feel like they were treating her like a villain. "Fine – fine, forget that I say anything" he waved his hand carelessly.
"Stubborn, don't come to the Jiu Yun sect again when your disciple leaves you, we don't have enough food to raise a stupid old man like you!" Mu Jan Ge scolds him.
"Cheapskate!" Tian Meng Ji scowled
Li Mo Zhen looked at his master and Tian Meng Ji consecutively. 'Maybe' friend 'is not the right word'
The battle between Lory and Lazarus is getting wilder, they continue to attack each other without stopping, Lory doesn't care if she has to drain all her mana, she adamant to get rid of this demon from here at all costs.
"You are not strong enough Lorient" taunted Lao Min Na.
"I can tell you the same thing, snake" he threw another blow at Lao Min Na.
Although Lory was not sure before, however she was quite certain right now that somehow when they came to this world both Lazarus and Lory were badly injured from the previous world, he didn't know what happened but he was sure Lazarus's strength was weakening just like hers that's why he needed Lao Min Na as his little slave, like Lory who needed to gather fragments to recover his power, Lazarus needed a soul to recover a portion of his strength or at least until he could devour his soul.
Lory is overjoyed by this fact because it means that his chances of killing Lazarus are even greater, all he has to do is kill him before he recovers all of his strength.
Lao Min Na stomped her feet on the ground and the crack ran towards Lory, suddenly a giant pillar appeared from under her feet, Lory was hit and her body was thrown into the air luckily she was caught by Zhao Li Xin in time. In his anger, Zhao Li Xin threw a giant firebolt at the pillars, and instantly the pillar explodes.
Zhao Li Xin wrapped her arms around Lory's waist as she landed gently on the ground.
"Are you alright?" he anxiously asked while helping Lory stand.
Thank goodness he was wearing armor so he wouldn't be badly injured otherwise some of his bones would break by now, Lory shook her head "I'm fine"
Even though Lory says she is fine but he knows there will be new bruises on her body now, he clenches her jaw as he tries to swallow her frustration "He's still too strong for us ..." Zhao Li Xin hates to admit it but it's true they don't have enough strength to win against Lazarus for now.
"I know, but we have to get rid of him somehow" Lory also knows about this fact.
"How?" Zhao Li Xin's brows furrowed tightly, "Will he leave if we tell him to leave?" he joked sarcastically.
Lory's eyes widened, "Wait, I think I have an idea .... but my strength is not enough!" she looked down in forlorn.
Lao Min Na hit them with more stone pillars, Zhao Li Xin pulled Lory closer as he nimbly dodged the attack, Lory was annoyed that this remained her with the game she used to play at the arcade called 'wack a mole' but this time she was the MOLE!
Zhao Li Xin hit the pillar that attacked them while Lory created a barrier from Lazarus' poisonous mana, it seems Lazarus insists on draining her mana first because after Lory loses her mana, it will be easy for Lazarus to kill Zhao Li Xin, and this is what scares Lory. most. Lory remembers the spell she learned with Lucas, but it consumes a lot of her strength.
Lory and Lucas are born with different gifts, Lory Gift wast healing power while Lucas Gift is space control while other gifts such as water, lucient shield are gifts handed down from their ancestors, but with the help of ancient runes and spells Lucas can cast some of the recoveries spells to some degree such as healing minor wounds or restoring strength but it drains his mana so potions still a much better option, the same like Lory she can also move space but it requires complex runes and spells not to mention draining her mana so Lucas and Lory didn't use this type of magic often, unless they don't have any other option, like NOW!
But she almost drained all her power, and Lazarus know that!
'DAMN SNAKE!' she cursed.
Just when she was on her wit's end, she heard an ear-piercing squawk from afar, Lory's face beamed, her eyes glittered like a star [GIRSHA!]
[Girl, I'm coming with a BIG GIFT!] Girsha emphasized the last two words.
