Aegislash used Sacred Sword!
Sacred Sword was a Fighting-type move. Under normal circumstances, it was completely useless against Ghost-type Pokémon.
However, what Aegislash was using now was not Fighting-type energy at all, but Soul Power purely simulating Holy Sword Fluctuation.
Such a soul Sacred Sword was the strongest killer move against spirit bodies.
Above the mausoleum ruins, a flash of light appeared as Aegislash launched a direct sneak attack.
The blue-violet sword light shot out like a flying blade of sword energy.
The immense soul aura made even the Spirit World barrier hum and tremble.
"What did you do to Pheobe?"
As that furious voice rang out, eight Heavenly King Level Pokémon appeared in an instant: Cofagrigus, Jellicent, Golurk, Froslass, Curse Doll, Chandelure, and more.
Their movements were strange, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
They lined up before the Sacred Sword, jointly condensing an enormous Shadow Ball and pushing it toward the Sacred Sword attack.
With a buzz.
The Holy Sword Fluctuation was instantly devoured by the Shadow Ball, while the gigantic Shadow Ball continued hurtling toward Aegislash.
"Garo!"
Aegislash's expression stiffened. Another tough opponent.
Facing the massive Shadow Ball, Aegislash swiftly transformed into its shield form, raising its round shield before itself with both hands behind its back.
King's Shield!
If Sacred Sword was among the finest sword-type moves—
Then King's Shield was among the finest shield-type moves, and it was also Aegislash's Exclusive Move.
Aegislash used spiritual power to unleash King's Shield. After entering a defensive stance, a shield composed of countless transparent blue-violet diamond-shaped Energy Barriers swiftly formed before it.
With a boom, the Shadow Ball collided with King's Shield. Yet when the smoke cleared, Aegislash was almost completely unharmed beneath that oversized Shadow Ball.
"This thing..."
Wanlong's heart sank at the sight.
