"Don't even think about escaping!"
With a sharp cry, March 7th gripped the trigger of the ice gun tightly with both hands, causing the gun to tremble violently due to the overloaded energy output.
The gushing ice flow became even more violent, forcefully suppressing the cracks that were spreading across the bone wings.
"Now!"
A sharp glint flashed in Xing's eyes. She twisted her wrist sharply, and the heavy baseball bat appeared in her palm.
The dull metal surface suddenly lit up with scorching patterns, and the tip of the bat rapidly extended and shaped in the dazzling energy.
In just one second, a blazing light blade composed of pure " Eternity " imaginary energy roared into shape!
The sword's edge tore through the air, emitting a sharp screech, and the surrounding icy mist was instantly evaporated.
At the same time, Phainon's figure leaped up like an arrow, and the giant sword in his hand, named " Dawn's Advance," burst forth with golden-red flames that tore through the sky, echoing the energy blade in Xing's hand.
Without a word, their gazes met in the air and ignited, locking onto the same target—the most vulnerable bone wing, repeatedly fought over by ice and molten fire!
"Cut--!"
"Break--!" Xing's low shout and Phainon's furious roar merged into one.
Two figures transformed into meteors tearing through the sky, one on the left and one on the right, slashing down with overwhelming force!
The star's blade slashed fiercely into the wing roots interwoven with ice and fire, producing a piercing explosion.
Phainon's greatsword, wrapped in the all-consuming Dawn's Advance, cut into solid ice like a red-hot iron, and the raging flames instantly devoured the energy channels flowing inside the bone wings!
Snap!
boom--!
With a chilling sound of bones shattering, the roots of Aegle's enormous, sky-covering bone wings were completely severed by these two resolute forces.
The massive wing bone, carrying a thick, not-yet-completely-melted ice shell, crashed into the platform like a burning meteorite. Molten gold-like liquid flames gushed from the broken edge, evaporating the shattered ice crystals into billowing steam.
The "Sky" Titan, having lost its balance, let out a sharp, agonizing wail, its massive body shaking and tilting violently in the air.
"Ha... now it can't be a 'Sky' Titan!"
Xing's lips curled up slightly, but the next second, the severed bone wing joint grew back in a bizarre way and reappeared on Aegle's body.
"Seriously?! They're doing this again?!"
"Sky!" Aegle let out a piercing shriek that shattered the clouds, and the golden Celestial Mural suddenly twisted.
Countless violent purple lightning bolts tore through the clouds, staining the entire space with a Destruction, eerie light.
Beneath the dome, a thunderstorm descended like a torrential downpour!
"Watch out!" Dan Heng's warning was drowned out by the deafening thunder.
An even more deadly crisis came from beneath their feet. The massive elevator shaft carrying everyone seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, and began to plummet downwards at an alarming speed.
The feeling of weightlessness instantly gripped everyone, and dazzling sparks flew as the platform's edges rubbed together.
"It wants to drag us into the abyss!"
Phainon steadied himself, and his giant sword " Dawn's Advance " plunged deep into the platform, leaving a long, dazzling trail of sparks.
"Hold your ground! The elevator shaft is long... Take it down before you fall into the golden pool!"
At this moment, the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " Aegle high in the center of the thunderstorm, its single remaining eye coldly gazing down at the fallen platform.
Its bony claws clenched, and a bolt of divine lightning, as thick as a bucket, tore through the air like a spear of judgment, piercing straight down with a shriek! Its target was none other than the group of people who were bound by weightlessness and unable to dodge!
"Hey, hey, hey... nobody told me the 'sky' could play with lightning too!"
March 7th's lips twitched for a moment, but when he thought that they were facing the former " Knight of Dawn's Thunder " Senios, everything seemed to make sense.
At the critical moment, Xing's figure suddenly took a step forward against the falling momentum.
The baseball bat in her hand had vanished, replaced by a massive fire spear burning with amber flames.
The will to " Preservation " solidified in her eyes! The gun hummed and trembled, and Xing's arm muscles bulged as she fiercely swung the flaming gun upwards with the force of a mountain!
boom!!!
The flaming spear and the world-destroying lightning collided with a deafening roar!
The blinding light engulfed everything, and a violent energy shockwave exploded in a ring, causing the falling platform to freeze abruptly!
The platform beneath Xing's feet instantly melted into a crimson crater, and countless tiny sparks, like a waterfall flowing backward, sprayed and scattered wildly from the point where the spear blade met the lightning!
She gritted her teeth, her legs trembling from the immense force she was bearing, but the flames of " Preservation " burned ever brighter under her unwavering will.
A fleeting thought flashed through Xing's mind: In Penacony, Aventurine's assessment of the Flame Spear was as follows:
The shoddy stones used by the Architects... are worthless.
Now, the shield forcefully blocked, tore apart, and ultimately deflected the lightning spear to one side!
The deflected lightning grazed the edge of the platform and crashed into the abyss, illuminating the bottomless darkness below.
"Now!"
Amidst the violent shaking, Dan Heng stared intently at Aegle. In the instant lightning flashed, his gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield, locking onto the core of the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk."
Each time lightning is summoned, an abnormal vortex of energy flickers deep within those eyes!
Therefore, Dan Heng deduced that it was both the source of Aegle's power and his greatest weakness.
I saw it!
March 7th struggled to aim in the howling wind, "That thing was hiding so high up, I couldn't see it at all before! A flash of lightning, and it gave itself away!"
Xingge deflected another bolt of lightning, the scorching air blasting through her hair.
She tilted her head back, her bright golden eyes locking onto the blinding, ever-gathering core of the thunderstorm.
" The Eye of Dawn and Dusk "—cold and arrogant, like a poisonous gem embedded in the sky.
Target locked.
Xing's voice was strong and resonant. She turned the flaming spear in her hand, its blazing light pointing directly at the " Eye of Dawn and Dusk " in the heavens.
The Bulwark of " Preservation " has been built; the time for a counterattack has arrived!
