"Sparring"

As soon as the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" was pulled out, it immediately turned to one of the pages without any wind.

Above are "Prophecy" written in Lumian's mind:

"Lumian Lee will ultimately prevail in this battle due to enough good fortune."

As the Mercury-Colored characters shimmered, the Purple-Flame Giant Bird, trailing its long tail feathers, circled high in the sky.

It did not reveal its complete Mythical Creature Form, because if it did, Lumian would not continue "playing" with it and would immediately summon its helpers.

Dark clouds rapidly piled up, pressing down heavily and very close to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, an exaggerated Torrential Rain poured down like a waterfall, as if the sky were a lake with a crack at the bottom.

The Torrential Rain was about to form a huge column of water, poured down on Lumian. Lumian did not move an inch. Instead, he drew the Gift Power the "War Bishop" from the seal, making himself both male and female, with a more androgynous appearance, while still keeping his chest upright.

The Torrential Rain falling on Lumian slowed down, soon freezing in mid-air, reflecting the Sunlight and revealing a crystal-clear appearance.

The ice layer extends upwards from above Lumian, drawing in large amounts of rainwater into the frigid land, making its surface appear as if a rainbow of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet spans across it.

With a whoosh, the subsequent Torrential Rain was blocked by the solid ice and slid down in all directions. This, combined with the rainwater that was already falling on the rest of Bansy Harbor and the already damaged drainage system, caused the Ruins to quickly rise in water.

Standing protected by layers of ice, Lumian calmly surveyed his surroundings, somewhat puzzled by the current capabilities of the Purple-Flame Giant Bird.

"This truly has the power of heaven and earth. If it rains for another two or three hours, combined with the backflow of seawater, the entire Bansy Harbor will be flooded..."

"But in battles at the Angel level, this is useless. What Angel would drown like that? Besides, there's plenty of time to escape the scene..."

"Unless the angels descend to the point of a landslide, there is no possibility of Angel posing a real threat..."

"However, this is an excellent tool for slaughtering Ordinary Person and Low-Sequence Beyonder; it truly lives up to its reputation as Pathway of bringing war and Calamity..."

Just as Lumian was thinking this, the Purple-Flame Giant Bird pierced through the thick clouds and poked its head out.

Between the dark clouds, silvery-white Lightning Serpents Flash, converged, and suddenly stretched downwards into a single, menacing Lightning.

The Lightning struck the crystal-clear ice, failing to penetrate it, and shattered into pieces that scattered in all directions.

Bang!

A thunderclap boomed, and countless Lightning Serpents struck the floodwaters of Bansy Harbor. They darted about rapidly, instantly forming a massive, silvery-white net that covered the entire Ruins.

With the continuous pattering sound, Lumian finally understood why the Torrential Rain had started earlier:

May the next Lightning be more destructive and have a wider impact!

But Lumian himself, standing on dry soil surrounded by layers of almost non-conductive ice, was largely unaffected.

The next second, a new Lightning formed, more magnificent and enormous than before, like a silver-white divine tree connecting the sky and the earth.

It struck the thick ice layer, shattering the Barrier completely, as if it possessed terrifying kinetic energy or released stored energy, causing the Impact.

A deafening roar of thunder echoed as the terrifying Lightning shattered layers of Frost and struck Lumian on the head.

Lumian's body shattered with a crack, like all fragile Mirror.

However, his figure did not leave the area that was originally protected by the ice; it was still outlined somewhere in the collapsed building Ruins.

In mid-air, the Purple-Flame Giant Bird descended from the sky, spreading its Burning wings, and crashed towards Lumian's location like a meteor.

The nearby rainwater suddenly vaporized, filling the air as if welcoming the arrival of the Purple-Flame Giant Bird in the form of mist.

The ground was set ablaze, the remaining walls were set ablaze, and Lumian's body was set ablaze as well.

Bang!

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird crashed into the ground, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust resembling a Mushrooms.

Lumian's body shattered once again, and the original ruins were either burned to ashes or blown away.

Two Blood-Colored shadows, resembling human flesh crushed into a paste, appeared at the bottom of the crater created by the explosion and melting of the soil, slightly dimmed.

Lumian's androgynous figure appeared in the air directly opposite this area, the image of the Purple-Flame Giant Bird reflected in his light blue Eyes, preparing to use the Witch's Curse.

The surrounding fog suddenly thickened, transforming from scalding steam into a true Fog of War.

Lumian immediately lost his lock-on, making it difficult to apply an effective Curse to the target.

Immediately afterwards, a huge, piercing roar resounded, and a terrifying Hurricane formed at sea, sweeping up terrifying, azure waves tens of meters high, crashing towards Bansy Harbor.

Tsunami caused by Hurricane!

Lumian's body was slammed to the ground and shattered.

The remaining building debris that once supported a certain height within the Ruins of Bansy Harbor was completely swept away, and the Purple-Flame Giant Bird took to the air, seemingly circling in search of its vanished target.

Just then, Lumian's figure appeared at the bottom of the pit where two Blood-Colored figures were, and the Gray-White color surged towards the Purple-Flame Giant Bird above.

Stones formed from condensed air fell down one by one.

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Lumian trembled, as if he could hear the incessant drumming on an ancient battlefield.

One after another, purple-blue Fireball rapidly appeared in mid-air, densely packed, blocking out the Sunlight in this area.

They whistled down, crashing onto the spreading Gray-White expanse.

The deafening explosions continued, and the Gray-White Flames stone sculptures were thrown in all directions.

The Gray-White color created by Lumian kept breaking and retreating, until finally, it completely collapsed, allowing the remaining purple-blue Fireball to smash into Lumian.

This time, the shattered pieces of the Mirror quickly dissolved into liquid.

At this stage of the battle, Lumian's good fortune gained from the "Book of Post-Apocalypse" did not materialize. Neither his attacks against the Purple-Flame Giant Bird nor the Purple-Flame Giant Bird's attacks on him progressed as expected, with no unexpected successes or failures.

Lumian's figure reappeared in the now much deeper and larger pit.

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird did not stop, continuing its frenzied attack with various Beyond Ability.

Lumian struggled to stay afloat, relying on the "Mirror Substitute" to escape fatal blows time and time again.

When the entire Bansy Harbor had dropped several meters in elevation and was about to be completely submerged by the azure sea, Lumian's "Mirror Substitute" was completely consumed.

Next, all he was left with was reality and his own death in the mirror.

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird, circling high above and obscuring the sky, once again let out a soul -Intimidation, chilling cry.

He locked onto Lumian's figure and was about to strike the corresponding area like a meteor, accompanied by intensely Burning purple and blue Flames.

Almost simultaneously, His body became strangely stiff.

The Purple Flames on His body spread outwards, and the Iron-Black metal that made up His neck was stretched very long, as if it was about to be torn apart by an invisible force.

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird writhed Pain in mid-air, its flames raining down, adding new streams of fire to the already Burning Bansy Harbor.

This Change was so sudden and bizarre that it was not caused by Lumian's attack.

Lumian was constantly on the defensive, unable to find an opportunity to Curse his opponent. The Mysticism Pathogens he secretly spread also died one after another in the indiscriminate burning of Purple Flames and the even more terrifying high temperature, making it difficult for them to reproduce and spread.

However, Lumian was not at all surprised by the fate of the Purple-Flame Giant Bird; in fact, a clear smile appeared on his lips.

He stared at the other until the Purple-Flame Giant Bird, driven mad by Pain, revealed its complete Mythical Creature Form.

Lumian looked away.

The Flames Giant high above, with their bird-like features, seemed to possess mysterious, profound, and indescribable knowledge. They manifested various natural phenomena such as Lightning, Hail, and Hurricane, causing the weather in this Sea Area to Change drastically.

Soon, the Flames Giant shrunk back into a purple Giant Bird and plummeted towards the ground.

Lumian raised his head, looked into the Purple-Flame Giant Bird's Eyes, which were frozen in Pain and confusion, and smiled, saying, "Do you know what you've been attacking?"

"It's the Bansy Harbor Telegram Office!"

Lumian paused for a moment, then took out the long -Burning Corpse Oil Candle from the "Traveler’s Bag," and said with an even brighter smile, "And you are Angel of the ' Hunter ' Pathway."

"And I am the Gifted of the ultimate power at the pinnacle of both Pathway Calamity!"

This is why Lumian chose to confront the Purple-Flame Giant Bird directly, did not seek help from the Major Arcana Lady as "The Magician," and always stayed within a fixed area, never trying to hide away!

The Bansy Harbor Telegram Office is likely a leak point, connecting to the metropolis of the Western Continent and the "Sinful Dragon" locked in the Ancient Well, yet still capable of influencing the entire city. Using Corpse Oil Candle here can provide a different and more Mysticism experience.

In this situation, attacking the Ruins the Bansy Harbor Telegram Office, attacking Lumian who had previously extracted the Gift Power the "War Bishop" blessing, and being Pathway "Hunter" himself, and personally smashing into the leak point, does indeed have a considerable probability of triggering an anomaly and suffering invisible effects!

Of course, anomalies are not guaranteed to occur 100%, and the Purple-Flame Giant Bird does not necessarily have to personally enter the Telegraph Office Ruins and bombard the area like a fire meteor. Therefore, Lumian used the "Book of Post-Apocalypse," along with ample good fortune.

Now, the Prophecy ending has come to pass!

Boom!

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird landed not far away, once again stirring up a large amount of smoke and Flames.

His Burning purple wings closed up, and his body gradually shrank, as if he were about to solidify into a physical form.

Then, His final voice reached Lumian's ears:

I acknowledge that you are qualified.

"This has nothing to do with Tudor's arrangements."

The Purple-Flame Giant Bird grew smaller and smaller, revealing countless points of light. Eventually, its main body transformed into a crystal-clear pillar the size of a palm, riddled with countless holes.

The pillar displays various weather phenomena, such as fog, Hail, rain, and Lightning, which sometimes spread outwards and sometimes recede inwards.

Purple Flame Feather and Iron Bone Crystal were scattered all over the ground.
