"Ok?"

Ok?

Both the Sinful Angel and Valensa expressed their surprise, but the Sinful Angel spoke out his surprise, while Valensa could only be surprised in her heart.

Unlike the last encounter with the Sin Angel, this time the power that brought everything to a standstill did not only affect Valensa, but enveloped the entire underground space.

Last time, Valensa regained her mobility immediately after being knocked several meters away by the Sinful Angel. Now, although she is much stronger, she still cannot move a single finger after being pulled at least a hundred meters away by Tia.

Clearly, it wasn't just Valensa who grew stronger in the past two years; the Sinful Angel did too... The pseudo-god's divine spark that had already entered her body might have truly granted her some kind of law-level power.

But... why is Tia completely unaffected?

Not only can it move in this stillness, but it can even use magic?

Is this the future Witch of Time?

Valensa clearly saw that the Sinful Angel's expression when he looked at Tia was first one of surprise, and then turned into an indescribable jealousy.

It's like a person from the bottom of society who fights their way to financial freedom, only to see a rich second-generation who is born to spend money like water.

That is jealousy that can turn into flames and burn everything.

"Why!"

As the Sin Angel gritted his teeth, a storm instantly erupted in the underground cavern, tearing apart countless stalactites on the cave ceiling and turning them all into sharp weapons that enveloped Tia.

. . . . .

Meanwhile, on Jade Island, Valensa and Tia encounter the Sin Angel and engage in a fierce battle.

As the residence of the Demon Queen Himika, the exact location of Jade Island is a closely guarded secret, hidden within a powerful magic circle. Even a Radiant-rank expert with keen senses cannot find it without proper guidance.

At least in the hundreds of years since the Four Islands Alliance was founded, no foreign enemy has ever been able to discover Tama no Shima, let alone invade it.

However, today, at this moment, this undefeated myth has been shattered.

There were no powerful magical artifacts to unravel the illusion, nor any wide-area perception; only unparalleled sword light crisscrossed the sea, shattering everything in its path.

Faced with absolute violence, all illusions, disguises, and deceptive illusions are mere embellishments... The mysterious Jade Island was finally stripped bare, completely exposed to the master of the sword light.

Clad in white palace attire, riding a flying sword, with a perfect figure and ethereal demeanor... If it weren't for her disproportionately long eyes and mouth, which were truly frightening, she could definitely be described as a celestial being descended to earth.

The enormous single eye on its chin looked at the finally revealed Jade Island with a hint of disdain, while the two mouths above its nose parted slightly in turn:

"Remnants of the Demonic Sect!"

"Come out and die!"

Then, in unison:

"Everything... is for His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"

Chapter 73 Someone Opened It! (This chapter contains original illustrations, not AI-generated)

Intelligence had long indicated that, in addition to its extremely bizarre illusionary abilities, the Sinful Angel was also capable of using remarkably powerful wind magic. A well-equipped city defense force of several hundred men in Fran was once massacred by the Sinful Angel using wind magic.

Now, a storm powerful enough to tear houses to shreds appeared before Tia.

Having successfully established a link with the River of Time, the time-based powers that even Valensa couldn't withstand had almost no effect on Tia. However, Tia was still just a lowly mage who hadn't reached the Radiant rank, and she was quite vulnerable to the Sinful Angel's furious call to the storm.

If Tia were to be directly hit by the storm, she would surely perish, and given her magical abilities, she would be absolutely unable to withstand such an attack head-on.

In the face of life and death, Tia remained calm. She grabbed Valensa's waist with one hand and jumped back into the stairwell she had come from.

The narrow passage, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side, feels very cramped and stuffy when you pass through it. But it becomes the best shelter when facing a storm. Most of the storm hits the cave walls, scraping several meters of rock off the walls.

The only real threat to the passage is the small portion of the storm that blows directly in.

Although the power of this small portion of the storm was enough to tear apart cultivators below the Radiant Rank, Tia alone could not withstand it, but Valensa could.

Valensa, who was within the time limit, was still unable to move, but in this narrow passage, she didn't need to do much to act as a human shield; Tia just needed to hide behind Valensa.

crackling and popping, sizzling and sizzling.

Valensa successfully blocked over 90% of the storm, and Tia only suffered minor injuries. Her Sage Apprentice Robe and white silk were somewhat torn, but she was basically unharmed.

Valensa looked terrible... Having been directly ravaged by the storm, most of her clothes were torn to shreds, with only her armor still protecting her vitals like a metallic swimsuit. Her fair skin was covered in cuts and bruises from the storm and the rubble.

But if you look closely, you can see that the wounds have hardly bled at all, and the tender buds and the soft holy light have automatically begun to repair them... If it weren't for the fact that I was still under the power of time, these gruesome wounds would probably have been completely healed in just a few seconds.

However, this power of time is clearly a big problem... Valensa, who cannot resist the power of time, is absolutely no match for the Sin Angel right now.

No matter how high your health bar or attack power, if you're constantly under control and unable to act, defeat is only a matter of time.

Tia wasn't afraid of the Sinful Angel's power of time, but her own strength was completely insufficient. If it weren't for the terrain advantage and Valensa acting as a meat shield, she would most likely have died from this storm alone.

So there's no need to hesitate, just run.

As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. Let those big shots worry about sinful angels and such.

Without hesitation, Tia activated a spatial teleportation after the storm, intending to take Valensa and escape Ruler Island directly.

However, the spatial connection that used to be as easy as pushing open the door to go home was now as difficult as the door being blocked by a dump truck.

Tia's emergency teleportation was successful. She and Valensa disappeared from the passage in a flash, but they didn't get far. They were teleported back to the ground and didn't even leave Cloud Hidden Ridge.

boom!

Continuous long-distance teleportation is not something Tia can do right now. Just as she was quickly calming the turbulent magic within her body, the ground was suddenly blasted open by a huge wind cone, and the blonde nun stood in the air with her arms crossed and her feet on the whirlwind.

Fortunately, Tia's escape had freed Valensa from the effects of the Time Power. By now, Valensa's wounds had mostly healed, and most of her exposed skin was covered by the black bodysuit generated by the [Heart of Stockings].

"what!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Valensa immediately suppressed all the divine power of order within her body (the power of holy light and the power of the sun flame), immersing her mind and body completely in the instinct of the evil god.

Her azure eyes instantly turned dark, and an extremely evil power enveloped her entire body. If you only looked at her appearance, you would definitely think that the Sinful Angel was a good person and that Valensa was the villain.

Even for Valensa now, immersing herself in the instincts of the evil god still carries risks. The worst-case scenario is losing control, completely losing her humanity, and transforming into an evil god who devours heaven and earth.

But there was no way around it. The battle in the cave had already made Valensa realize that the divine grace of a Star-level Paladin was absolutely no match for the power of a time-based pseudo-god; only the power of an evil god could put them to the test.

Once fully in Evil God mode, Valensa didn't hesitate. She jumped up and kicked the Sin Angel, her long, black-stockinged legs slamming down like an iron whip, with the force to split a mountain.

At the same time, the six floating cannons quickly scattered, flying hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye, and then from different directions hundreds of meters away, they all aimed at the Sinful Angel standing on the whirlwind, launching a concentrated attack with their solar flares.

Moreover, long before she jumped up and did the splits, Valensa launched a throwing attack... A ray of moonlight, carrying a sharp edge, shot down towards the angel of sin like a white rainbow piercing the sun.

Above, black silk-clad legs and iron whips slashed down; all around, sunfire rays concentrated their fire; below, moon kisses flew—these three attacks would simultaneously strike the Sinful Angel, according to Valensa's calculations.

"it's useless."

However, the Sin Angel merely chuckled contemptuously, and everything around him fell still once more, even the light of the Sunfire Ray was frozen in mid-air, like golden mercury.

Valensa remained in the position of raising her leg high in front of the Sin Angel, while Moon Kiss remained still at the feet of the Sin Angel's nun skirt.

"I know you have the bloodline of an evil god, but in the face of my illusory power that has already merged with the divine spark, you are nothing!"

As the Sinful Angel mocked, he extended his right index finger and pointed it at Valensa's forehead. Extremely strong wind pressure was already swirling around his fingertip, transforming into a spiraling force with immense breakthrough power.

It's clear that the Sinful Angels already know that to truly kill Valensa, they need to strike at the head.

Despite the wind pressure that was about to pierce her head, Valensa remained completely calm... She even gave the Sinful Angel a mocking look during the time stop.

"Ok?"

The Sinful Angel keenly sensed the danger and tried to change tactics to defend, but it was too late.

Valensa's body flashed with moonlight and she disappeared from the spot, appearing beneath the Sin Angel's body, where she firmly grasped the Moon Kiss that had been stationary at the Sin Angel's feet.

Stop now!

After successfully activating the Exquisite Magic Sword, Valensa immediately wanted to follow up with Crescent Moon. The silence effect of this move would most likely not affect the Sinful Angel, but the effect of disrupting the flow of magic should have some effect.

For example, it could cause the wind-attribute magic gathered at the fingertips of the Sin Angel to erupt out of control, allowing the Sin Angel to experience the feeling of being baptized by a storm.

However, Moon Kiss, which had never disappointed Valensa, encountered an unexpected situation this time. The moonlight on the blade dimmed just as it was about to erupt, and then disappeared completely. The longsword, whose performance was no less than that of a Noble Phantasm, instantly turned into ordinary iron!

Could it be that something happened to Fairy Dragon Sister?

Valensa's head buzzed for a moment and she was a little confused... While worried, she also complained a little, "Sister Dragon, why did you let me down at such a crucial moment?"

This gave the Sin Angel a chance to react. She didn't have time to think about why Valensa's power, which had been able to bind her just now, was now broken free by Valensa. Her immediate priority was to defeat Valensa as soon as possible!

The fact that the Sinful Angel has been wanted by the Church of the Sun for so many years without any trouble shows that his greatest strength is his clear understanding of friend and foe and his never underestimating any opponent.

In terms of power level, Moon Glory is one level higher than Star Glory, so there should be no need to be afraid. However, Valensa's past achievements are too amazing - she even killed a Star Glory when she was in Pearl, so it is definitely not a problem for a Star Glory to kill a Moon Glory.

As a spellcaster, you must never engage in close combat with an enemy who is not under control!

The Sinful Angel immediately mobilized the power of the storm, this time gathering it at the soles of her feet, and kicked out at Valensa's face, while simultaneously trying to use the recoil to create distance.

Snapped!

A crisp sound, like a slap, followed as the sole of the nun's shoe made intense contact with Valensa's face, leaving a clear shoe print.

But this kick didn't knock Valensa away as the angel of sin had hoped; instead, it jolted Valensa back to her senses from the brief daze caused by the failure of the moon kiss.

So, her battle-hardened body instincts acted before her brain could make a judgment. Valensa stretched out the hand that wasn't holding the Moon Kiss, grabbed the foot that the Sinful Angel was trying to pull back after kicking her in the face, and threw it to the ground with great force!

Snapped!Snapped!

The two men, one thrown and the other kicked, slammed to the ground simultaneously, sending rubble flying everywhere.

Time resumed its flow after the Sin Angel was thrown out, and the six rays of Yang Flame from the Six Flower Floating Cannons, fired from a hundred meters away, collided and created a huge firework display at the very spot where the Sin Angel had started.

After pulling herself out of the ground, Valensa didn't catch her breath and immediately launched another charge towards the spot where the Sin Angel had landed.

Although the previous exchange didn't achieve the desired effect due to the sudden failure of Moon Kiss, it wasn't without its gains.

After the evil god's bloodline is fully awakened, it is indeed possible to use willpower to defy the laws... Although moving within time stop is as uncomfortable as an ordinary person walking in a swamp, at least you can move! You are no longer just able to watch helplessly and do nothing!

However, allowing her body to fully immerse itself in the instincts of the evil god is also dangerous. Valensa is unsure when she might lose her humanity, so she must act quickly.

Bang!

Valensa, who had only left a sonic boom cloud in her place, instantly accelerated herself to Mach 3 or higher and rushed to the side of the Sinful Angel who had not yet gotten up from the ground, and threw a punch!

However, the expected scene of the Sin Angel's body exploding under the power of the Chaos God did not appear. Instead, Valensa saw stars and felt as if she had been hit on the head with a giant iron hammer. She was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, crashing through three trees before landing and plowing a furrow in the ground.

What...what's going on?

Valensa was in a daze, not yet understanding what had just happened. She had been lying on the ground when she was suddenly thrown into the air, bleeding profusely and in excruciating pain, as if she had been thrown into a meat grinder and cut into a thousand pieces.

Meanwhile, the Sinful Angel, who had gathered a compressed whirlwind ball like a Rasengan in his palm, was about to press that whirlwind ball onto Valensa's head!

In that life-or-death moment, Valensa ignored the blood and wounds covering her body. With all her might, she tilted her head to the side, barely avoiding the compressed wind ball in the Sin Angel's hand. Then she bit back hard, slamming her jaws into the Sin Angel's wrist!

"what!"

The Sin Angel immediately screamed in agony, and the compressed whirlwind in his palm exploded out of control, sending the two flying in different directions with a huge shockwave!

Valensa looked terrible, her body flying a great distance like a torn rag, but she was actually temporarily out of danger.

Once she's fully in her evil god form, as long as her head isn't shattered, her body can quickly recover no matter what its condition becomes.

And that was indeed the case. When Valencia was blown away, her whole body felt like it had been torn to pieces, but by the time she landed, she was almost completely healed... If it weren't for the lingering pain, the horrific state of her body would have seemed like a dream.

But Valensa was not in a relaxed mood at all; instead, her face was gloomy and unpleasant.

What exactly happened in those last few seconds?

"You're very confused and puzzled, aren't you?"

The Sinful Angel, thrown back by the shockwave, quickly returned. Instead of continuing her attack, she approached Valensa with a leisurely gait and a smile, as if victory was assured.

"The answer is actually quite simple... long before you discovered the underwater drainage outlet, I also discovered you in the opposite direction through the defensive measures left there."

If it were someone else, I might not care too much, but for you, I must take it seriously... So I immediately accelerated the process of merging with the divine essence, which resulted in the final merging being somewhat rushed, leaving me, who had just begun to acquire power, still not very proficient.

The bloodline of the gods can indeed resist authority through willpower, so I didn't try to manipulate time around me just now. Instead, I concentrated the authority and used the power of illusion to freeze your consciousness.

Sure enough, once you lost your ability to think, you were like a puppet, utterly powerless, and I attacked you relentlessly with all sorts of wind magic... The feeling of being torn to pieces must have been unpleasant, right?

"Hmph, it's just a tickle."

Valensa's internal alarm bells were ringing, but she didn't back down verbally:

"Since you can freeze my mind and turn me into a puppet, why don't you just kill me? Meaningless torture will only make me stronger. Someone as cautious as you wouldn't understand that, would you?"
