Chapter 294 An Eye for an Eye, A Double Payback

Just as Cheng Tian and Cain Fact completed their fusion and being fused with each other, respectively entering the Avenger Angel form and the Demon King Dam form, the sky was completely torn apart.

The sun shone brightly on the side of the White Pagoda, where Cheng Tian was the leader, making all our units feel a warmth that permeated their bodies and minds.

Meanwhile, the Black Tower, led by Demon King Dam, continued to be shrouded in dark clouds and perpetual night.

Interestingly, it was as if the sunlight and the night were attached to Cheng Tian and the Demon King respectively. As Cheng Tian rushed forward, the area illuminated by the sunlight also invaded and covered the night corresponding to the Demon King.

Visually, this scene looked as if sunlight was following Cheng Tian's charge to purify the Demon King's darkness, which was quite spectacular!

Because he was in a sunny area, Cheng Tian's Sun Mask buff changed from night mode to day mode, and his Sun Protection was also officially activated, granting him a 5-point bonus to his Strength, Agility, and Spirit attributes.

Normally, Cheng Tian's Ghost Rider form is limited by sunlight, but now he is in his Avenging Angel form, and his power attribute has been changed from Hellfire to Heavenfire, so his power is no longer limited. Even the countdown time for transforming by consuming a Silver Knight Statue has been paused.

Cheng Tian, ​​the unpredictable one, was currently in an extremely high state. Demon King Dam was further increasing the density of the elemental bullets, but he still managed to pass through them by simply "scratching" them across the ground.

The entire sky seemed to be bathed in sunlight, overwhelming the darkness, leaving the players and NPCs below speechless.

As Cheng Tian charged forward, a thought struck him, and the twin goddesses watching his performance simultaneously raised their hands towards the Demon King. Then, a mark entirely constructed of holy fire appeared above the Demon King Dam's head—

The Vengeance Flame's derivative effect is the Vengeance Mark.

As the two crystal eyes appeared, the golden sanction arrows behind Cheng Tian were being constructed at a high speed of 3 arrows every 0.5 seconds. Compared to their previous appearance, the golden arrows were now covered with a conspicuous layer of holy fire.

Cheng Tian himself was wiping the missiles, while a string of golden feather arrows followed behind him, swaying and fluttering like a phoenix's tail. Occasionally, when they collided, they would directly destroy the missiles on the Demon King's side because they were "less likely to be neutralized by other projectiles".

Facing the approaching Cheng Tian, ​​Demon King Dam's two smaller arms, located in the center of his body, simultaneously gripped the handle of the enlarged version of the Shura Battle Axe, raised it high, and aimed it at Cheng Tian, ​​who had already entered melee attack range.

With the Asura Battle Berserker Qishugal absorbed into its body, Demon King Dam's grasp of the timing and opportunity for close combat was extremely precise, as if it had surpassed the limit of the dungeon's agility, allowing it to successfully capture the moment when Cheng Tian paused during his charge.

cut!
The axe blade slices through the air with such power that it shatters upon contact and obliterates upon impact.

However, a flash of light appeared in Cheng Tian's hand, revealing a jade-green chain blade. At the same time, a circular jade-green shield, encased in holy fire, covered Cheng Tian's entire body.

When the massive axe blade struck the shield, it paused noticeably before the entire shield shattered completely. However, this momentary pause allowed Cheng Tian to seize the opportunity to sidestep, successfully avoiding the powerful slash from Demon King Dam with his body and wings.

But at the same time, a damage number of "-300" popped up on the Demon King Dam's 1.5 health bar, and it also made a short sound, like an instinctive reaction of being burned.

And this is still the effect of the Sacred Flame of Revenge—

When Cheng Tian faces a unit with whom he has already engaged in combat, the target falls within the scope of the "Revenge" marker and can be marked with the Revenge marker. Cheng Tian will then gain the "An Eye for an Eye" effect, meaning that he will retaliate with an equal amount of Holy Fire for the same amount of damage he has suffered. If it is a melee attack, it will immediately burn the opponent; if it is a ranged attack, it will reflect the opponent in a similar ranged attack manner, which the opponent can evade or defend against.

Similar to a permanent flame-patterned cloak, the damage pattern is holy fire burning. If the target also possesses attributes such as darkness, evil, or chaos—qualities that oppose the "holy" power—then in addition to the "an eye for an eye" effect, an additional effect called "double payback" will be added.

That is, all skill items that are imbued with Holy Fire will deal additional double Holy Fire damage to the target.

The Demon King Dam broke through the whirlwind shield created by Cheng Tian using Gale Blade Lv3. The shield, which had been strengthened to Lv3 by Soul Fragments, had its HP increased from 50 to 150 points before being broken by the Demon King in one blow.

At this moment, Cheng Tian's Vengeance Holy Flame had already been added to the Whirlwind Shield. The basic data was almost unchanged, except that the attribute changed from wind attribute to holy fire attribute. As a result, after the Demon King broke through the Holy Fire Shield with 150 HP, he himself suffered 300 points of damage backlash due to his melee action. The overflow damage was ineffective because it failed to hit Cheng Tian himself.

Having completed his evasive maneuver, Cheng Tian unleashed a powerful dragon tail sweep, hurling all 27 Feathers of Retribution he had created during his charge toward the Demon King!

If you're really curious, you can try buying a brand new, unopened box of toothpicks, opening the lid, and then vigorously shaking it from top to bottom in one direction. That should achieve a similar effect.

One downside of being large is that there's often no way to avoid it.

All 27 golden arrows struck the Demon King Dam.

The original damage of the Golden Feather Arrow remains unchanged at a paltry 9 points, but the Vengeful Holy Flame added to it directly grants an additional 18 points of Holy Flame!

The single-target damage wasn't high, but the sheer number of them made up for it. A series of "-27" damage numbers popped up above Damm's head, totaling 729 points.

However, although the numbers jumped, Damm's 1.5+ health bar remained completely unchanged, including the 300 that jumped earlier, as if the damage had hit a fake health bar.

However, Cheng Tian was already mentally prepared for this, because this Demon King Dam was probably the same as the original work, and his real core weakness was actually the Black Pearl, a replica of a divine artifact that had been fused with an incomplete demonic source.

All attacks against it are aimed at forcing out its weaknesses.

But at that moment, Dam, whose body was still adorned with a string of golden feathered arrows, spoke up.

"caught you."

In an instant, a purple circular barrier enveloped Cheng Tian; this was a variant of the Fact Barrier, a binding barrier.

At the same time, large, high-damage spell arrays emerged from the open mouths of the six familiars.

The Eye of Fact granted them the ability to perform multiple spells in conjunction with the Demon Lord Dam.

With the Demon King's form, the barrier magic received an epic boost, making it impossible for even the Cleria mineral weapon to escape immediately. It even had the effect of transfer interference, enough to trap the enemy until the spellcasting was complete.

Just when it seemed there was nowhere to escape and he could only endure the opponent's seven layers of spellcasting (including the real body), Cheng Tian's two left wings suddenly turned red, and Fina's phantom image solidified accordingly. A strange fluctuation, surpassing that of ordinary magic, emanated from the red wings—

The Crimson Moon Ceremony of Goddess's Grace!
