Chapter 790 - Peak Fight

A few minutes earlier.

"Where is he?!" Viola shouted at Aileen. Since she was the only one who had a Space Element around her, so she thought Aileen must have the answer.

Unfortunately, Aileen shook her head. "I don't know. My ability is not that omnipotent to the point I can track where he goes. If he goes to the Space World, we can easily track him, but with that Teleportation Array? I can't see where he goes. This is why the Space Element Array Master is more dangerous than a normal Space Element Master."

"Then, where are we supposed to go?" Viola ground her teeth.

"He shouldn't be heading to our disciples and… Never mind. I believe he is going to head toward either Snow White Mountain or the mercenary."

"Great Elder Aileen!" Suddenly, a shout came from a bit farther away.

When Aileen and the two turned their heads, they found Alex, who was fighting the two elders, pointing toward Snow White Mountain's direction.

"He is going toward the Snow White Mountain. I believe he is going to eliminate Elder Manness right now because he can use his death to break through this situation," Alex said out loud.

He saw the movement of the Space Energy earlier and found that the energy shot toward the Snow White Mountain. In that instant, he realized Leo's plan and warned the trio.

Aileen then nodded and appeared before Viola and Riadon. "I am going to plant a Space Mark on you first. If he runs away again, I can immediately go to your position and create another Spatial Gate for you. Even for Fire God Clan, they won't have that many Teleportation Array Plates."

Viola and Riadon nodded, feeling the touch of her hand in their back followed by the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.

After drawing the mark, Aileen then clapped her hand and sent them there before joining the fight again.

…

"Found you!" Viola grinned as she looked at Leo.

"Tch! It's faster than my expectation… It must be that Space Element woman." Leo gritted his teeth and flew back, trying to create a distance between them.

Manness also got time to breathe before he looked at Viola and Riadon.

"We are going to fight that Leo again. Since the situation is not according to the plan, I am going to assist you from time to time by throwing attacks at her. Well, it won't be that much because I am not familiar with your fighting style," Viola said while looking at Riadon, who slowly flew over Manness.

"Sure. As long as it can help me, I don't mind. Besides, like my wounded body, she also has used a huge amount of energy earlier. I can handle her alone if it's necessary." Manness nodded.

Viola and Riadon then turned their heads, furrowing their eyebrows upon the sight of Leo. They noticed a slight difference in his Spiritual Energy.

"This is... Has he used his last resort?" Riadon muttered to himself.

The fire started covering his body as his eyes began to lose their focus.

"Even if I am going to die, I will surely kill both of you today along with that brat." Leo roared. After getting his plan ruined again and again from the alliance, array, to this one, Leo realized it was not possible to win without killing these three 10-Star Martial Saints.

Even if they somehow killed these three, they would be too exhausted to breakthrough. The Blackwade Clan was also making their way toward them. In other words, it was close to impossible to escape from this execution ground that Alex had prepared. Leo decided to risk it all since as they said, he would get more and more disadvantages as time passed.

"Tch!" Viola clicked her tongue and warned. "It might not be possible to help you. We need to focus on killing this old bull first before we can do anything."

Manness nodded his head. He could see that his fire got disturbed by Leo, so he knew this might be Leo's last fight. The only thing he could do was to hold Liza back for a moment. At least, she shouldn't interfere in their fight until Leo died.

"We also can't help you to fight that Liza. We can attack her due to the suppression, but now that she is like this, we can only leave her to you." Jean informed him too.

As soon as Manness nodded, Jean took Letizia away together with the tsun-tsun couple.

Leo glared at them and tossed one of his rank 8 Array toward Jean and Letizia. "One Thousand Swords Array!"

The array glowed and summoned a thousand swords in an instant like its name implied, surrounding Jean and Letizia from all directions.

"Tch!" Jean looked at the array and searched for a way to escape, but he suddenly found Viola appeared right behind the sword formation.

She clasped her hands before a powerful stream of fire formed and turned into a tornado in a second.

Jean leaped toward Letizia and summoned another sphere to block in case there were some swords that didn't get pulverized by this flame.

To their surprise, Leo didn't have any intention of attacking them. The moment everyone's focus locked on the flame tornado, Leo appeared right behind Viola with his sword.

"Die, you woman," Leo said with a cold gaze, swinging his sword toward Viola's neck. "Blazing Defying Slash."

Viola only took a glimpse of his action before finding another presence coming to her. Just when his sword almost reached her, another sword struck it, stopping it from cutting her.

"Lightning Tree."

The lightning started going rampage in order to make Leo drop his weapon, but Riadon miscalculated Leo's current power. Even with his Lightning Tree, he suddenly felt the sudden push in his sword.

"I am the one losing? Not good!" He realized that the target was Viola all along, so he immediately grabbed Viola with his hand and threw her away. At the same time, he also got pushed back by the sword and regrouped with Viola. "Sorry. It looks like we have underestimated him."

"Yes. Thank you for saving me earlier." Viola nodded. Even though she was thrown away, Riadon made sure that she was going toward Jean and Letizia. They couldn't afford Leo attacking them.

"Don't stop me!" Leo roared. His rationality had become so low to the point he started screaming like a beast. It was like the last bit of his rationality sent through to his instinct, so he could act according to the best scenario.

"Be careful of his array. As long as we hold long enough, he won't be able to think like a human again, and it will be the time we kill him." Riadon warned her.

"I know." Viola nodded. "I might as well fight him in close combat."

"Your main ability is in your control over fire… With his strength and combat ability, I am afraid you are not his match in close combat. Better back me up." Riadon shook his head.

"Fine." Viola shrugged. Riadon was a cool guy, and almost no one knew about his mind. Yet, this kind of guy warned that openly. It would mean that the enemy this time was extremely dangerous this time.

"Crimson Fire."

Three pillars of flame suddenly turned into a human-shaped fire, holding a ball which also made a fire in their hand. As the name implied, the fire turned from an orange-red fire to crimson.

"I will go all out and have one of them to assist us while the other two assist the other guy. If possible, I want him to help us as well."

Riadon took a glance at Manness's condition and nodded. "Suit yourself. Just make sure that you don't use all your Spiritual Energy."

"Sure." Viola nodded and headed to the space between Manness and Leo.

Leo, on the other hand, clenched his fist before throwing another Array Plate to the sky.

"Sky Slaying Spear Array Plate." Riadon widened his eyes, watching how the array turned into a giant glowing blue spear. If such a spear struck the ground, it would leave craters up to ten kilometers away in all directions. And the aim of the spear was none other than Viola. She could dodge this in time, but they still had the second problem.

Behind her was Drunken Pavilion's disciples, so if they got hit by that, he didn't know how many people would die. Luckily, Evelyn was forbidden to participate in this battle, so he didn't need to have an additional worry. However, it didn't mean he could be free of worry.

If many disciples were killed, the Snow White Mountain would start pushing back. The Fire God Clan will obviously send another portion of their disciple to help, breaking through the Drunken Pavilion's formation.

Hence, they only had one solution. Riadon muttered to himself. "I need to block it."

Viola noticed his movement and locked her eyes on Leo before sending a powerful attack to him with her fire doll. "You won't hinder him!"

"…" Leo didn't say anything. He only ground his teeth and struck the fire with all his might.

Meanwhile, Riadon raised his off hand and summoned his lightning. The lightning turned into a tree before it created a circle right above the tree.

"Riadon! Are you going to use that technique?" Viola shouted.

"I need to use it. That array is one of the peak rank 8 Array in terms of strength. He even coated that spear with his fire and Sword Intent. And the fact that you pushed him back with that lousy attack of yours already showed how much energy he put in that technique.

"If I didn't use this technique, we are going to lose this battle. And Aileen won't make it to this place before the spear hits." Riadon shook his head. The giant tree of lightning spread its power before the circle above it absorbed everything, turning them into a single bolt of lightning. "Seraphim Gate Open!"

The circle glowed brightly before it shot all the lightning in the form of a laser. Of course, Riadon was still smarter than everyone's expectation. He deliberately flew a little bit more, so he could aim the spear from above and hit the Snow White Mountain's disciples in case he managed to destroy it.

Seeing this action, Leo instinctively changed the direction of the spear toward Riadon.

"Hmph. It seems you still retain your rationality." Riadon snorted.

The spear flew toward him, clashing with the lightning.

A powerful shock wave shook the entire battlefield as they never expected two powerful moves to collide like this. The shock wave destroyed buildings upon impact, sent disciples flying, and swept any kind of attacks in the vicinity away.

Jean clenched his fist and muttered. "That technique… It's on par with Leoz's Thunder God Cannon… It might not be as powerful as Leoz's ultimate technique, but it was only a Heaven Tier Technique. And the fact that Leoz's ultimate technique was a Divine Technique… It's crazy. To think there is a human with this kind of ability…"

"What?!" Letizia opened her eyes wide, wondering if she just heard it wrong.

However, Jean didn't bother with her and called Fabio and Vera. "I think both of you need to boost that technique."

"You want us to exhaust ourselves?" Fabio frowned.

"I will also aid with an extra effect later. If we can use that technique to obliterate a portion of an enemy's disciples, it will be worth it."

"Fair enough. I think it's time for us to show off. You are going to take the responsibility if Master asks though." Vera nodded. "And it's not like I do this because of your request, alright? I just think it's the best way to help Master."

Jean nodded, ignoring the tsundere line.

Fabio and Vera then disappeared before making their appearances on the right and left sides of the clash while raising their hands.

"By the blessing of Spirit God, permitting the marriage between Fire and Ice. We shall offer you the best dance in your palm as a Fire and Ice. Opposite but inseparable. Fire and Ice World's Lotus."
