The Battle Ends
Miyue and I were unable to leave because we were guarding the Darkness Energy, so only Ivern could help us at this time!
No matter how powerful Qilis is at this time, he can only tie with Janna. If Ivern participates in the battle, the odds are still high. In my expectation, he takes action.•´¯`•. 6❾ .•´¯`•
Wood Elemental Power is quite unique; it is inherently a nourishing power, and even when used to attack enemies, it lacks a sense of deterrence.
This had a surprise effect; Qilisi focused on dealing with the Wind Power and was completely unable to resist the Wood Power, and began to retreat steadily.
Just when I thought victory was assured, I suddenly realized that Qilisi was no longer struggling; she had actually adapted to Ivern's attacks!
Then I remembered Varus's analysis of the Vastaya. Qilisi was skilled in mind reading, so she must have used her ability to know Ivern's movements!
Of course, the effectiveness of understanding one's opponent's abilities is limited. When faced with a disparity in strength, even knowing the opponent does not guarantee a defense.
After holding out for a while, Qilisi was bound by Ivern and could not move as easily as before. Janna quickly condensed Wind Spear it forward.
Like Qilisi, Syndra was pierced; the Vastaya's hard shell could not withstand the powerful Wind Power!
I pondered my own power. If I were to condense a weapon from Wind Form, could I pierce the Vastaya's armor?
You can give it a try!
Qilisi's voice suddenly rang in my ears, startling me. Immediately afterward, the Darkness Energy Miyue and I were controlling broke free from the shackles of Spiritual Power and poured into the ground, then was transmitted to Qilisi through the branches of Ivern!
She greedily absorbed the energy, then let out a howl and broke free from the binding Wood Power. Her aura rose steadily until she was surrounded by darkness!
My power is inexhaustible!
"Congratulations, Syndra! Looks like my mission is complete!"
"Thank you, Qilisi, I won't let you down!"
The two transformed again; it turned out that Qilisi's appearance was only to help Syndra seize the Dark Power!
Janna became somewhat serious, clearly not expecting Syndra to be able to reclaim her power, and that this power was so immense!
Now that I no longer need to guard the Darkness Energy, I approached Janna, wielding the Gale Sword: "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect that energy."
"This isn't your fault. This Vastaya used special methods, because Ivern and I weren't able to defend against it either."
"Careful!"
Syndra's Dark Orb hurtled towards us, and before we could say a word, we immediately engaged her in battle!
This was my first battle since mastering the style Wind Form. Since it wasn't fundamentally different from the Wind Force, I handled it quite well.
The power of the Dark Orb had increased by more than one level. When I used my Wind Force to counter it, I felt a dull tremor, like a thin sword against a heavy hammer.
However, I did not feel fear. On the contrary, I was inspired by this powerful challenge and had a strong fighting spirit. Only a battle of this level could test the results of my learning!
Janna was now surrounded by strong winds, and a rapier appeared in her hand. This was not a Wind Form- formed weapon, but a real one.
She no longer relied solely on ranged attacks, but instead used her superior strength to break through to Syndra's side, attempting to kill her.
Seeing her moves, I felt a sense of familiarity, because they were very similar to Wind Sword!
Perhaps her swordsmanship and that of the Wind Sword Sect were both inspired by the wind, which is why they share a similar essence. In that sense, we seem more like fellow disciples!
Ivern transformed into a towering tree, its size immense, its power seemingly increased immeasurably.
He can sprout branches and vines at any time, forcing Syndra to fight while floating in the air. This not only depletes her stamina but also assists Janna in her melee attacks.
Miyue did not participate in the battle; she went to evacuate the villagers. Although the battle took place in the farmland, the impact of the battle between Demigods was too widespread.
Logically speaking, our overall strength should be greater than Syndra's, but because Dark Element Strength is stronger than Wind Power and Wood Power, we fought very hard, and it took quite a while before we gained the upper hand.
Janna's swordsmanship is exquisite, and with sufficient penetrating power, it posed a great threat to Syndra, which is the main reason we gained the advantage.
Thanks to this, I learned a lot of moves from her. After this battle, I must ask her for her advice!
At the same time, I also feel ashamed because I pursued too many things, resulting in me being proficient in none of them. I need to change this in the future.
"Stop your desperate struggle! You've not only opposed the people of Ionia, but you're also defying the gods. The outcome is obvious!"
"I am indeed fighting against the gods, but I would not dare to say I am opposing the people of Ionia!"
Syndra finished speaking and recalled the orbs surrounding her, her aura surging once more, as if she were making a final stand.
Janna continued her relentless attacks, and I wasn't too worried. Firstly, my physical strength was still decent, and secondly, with Ivern's Wood Power, our recovery abilities were greatly enhanced.
When Syndra's power reached its peak, Janna and I also gathered enough power to fight back. Her rapier became almost transparent, and my Gale Sword blended perfectly into the wind, seemingly there and not there!
"Then let you try and see if you can stop me!"
"Your end has come; prepare for the judgment of the storm!"
Syndra's energy surged forth, and I swung my Gale Sword to meet it head-on with a violent gust of Wind Force. The instant the two energies collided, I felt a dull thud, as if countless iron hammers were pounding on my body, extremely uncomfortable!
There was no time to back down. I persevered with all my might because I knew Syndra was suffering too!
When I felt my body was about to reach its limit, all my strength was unleashed, and I forcefully split the Darkness Energy in front of me in two!
"Well done, Yasuo! Leave the rest to me!"
Janna charged in along the path I had cleared, and after blocking several spell orbs, she rushed to Syndra's side to launch her final attack.
As the Sword of Justice pierced Syndra's chest, all the dark energy vanished, and she collapsed to the ground, reverting to her original form.
"I'm sorry, Qilisi, I failed again."
"Don't give up on Syndra, give me your body, let me try again!"
"You'll be destroyed by them, or stay the way you are and find your next partner."
"What nonsense are you talking about? In over a thousand years, I haven't found anyone as close to me as you. If I have to wait another thousand years, I'd rather die here!"
The two were putting on a touching scene, but Janna remained cold and indifferent. "If this is your last wish, then die together!"
