Chapter 492: Chapter 392: Winning a Battle for the Duchy’s Future
Its massive body trembled violently, a flicker of confusion and pain passing through its golden draconic eyes.
A powerful Spiritual Shock slammed into its mind.
Sun froze in an instant.
It was locked in a spiritual struggle with the phantom of the Modo Giant Beast, completely unable to move for the time being.
"Damn it!"
Raylo’s expression changed when he saw this.
’I can’t believe the Heart of the Giant Beast had a trick like this up its sleeve.’
’This is bad.’
’Sun is pinned down, the Duke is locked in a death match with the Catastrophe Level Demon Serpent Avatar, and General Gaius is tied up by Cashmo’s group.’
’Am I supposed to just watch this prize slip through my fingers?’
’No way!’
A determined glint flashed in Raylo’s eyes.
He turned to Moonlight, who had been waiting quietly by his side.
"Moonlight, it’s our turn!"
"AWOOO!"
Moonlight let out a low roar and transformed into its true Silver Dragon form.
Raylo vaulted onto Moonlight’s back.
"Coal Ball!"
"Mew?"
Coal Ball, perched on Raylo’s shoulder, looked up.
"Take us over there!"
Raylo pointed at Sun in the middle of the lake.
Coal Ball glanced at the distant battlefield, at the myriad thunderbolts in the sky creating a world-ending spectacle, and then at the mountain-sized phantom of the Modo Giant Beast on the lake’s surface. Its tiny body trembled even more violently.
’It didn’t want to go.’
’It was too dangerous over there.’
"AWOOO!"
Moonlight glanced back and let out a growl.
A jolt went through Coal Ball’s body. The fear that had filled its eyes moments ago was instantly replaced by determination.
’The boss has spoken. I can’t chicken out!’
It took a deep breath, and spatial fluctuations began to glow around its small body.
The Power of Space began to surge.
The spatial fluctuations vanished in a flash.
The next second, Raylo and Moonlight’s figures appeared unnervingly in the sky above the lake, right beside the Golden Dragon Sun.
This sudden development stunned everyone for a moment.
Even Cashmo, who was locked in combat with General Gaius, subconsciously paused.
’What was that?’
’Teleportation?’
As soon as Raylo appeared, he immediately felt the immense spiritual pressure from the Modo Giant Beast’s will.
However, the pressure was still within a range he could withstand.
He glanced at the incapacitated Sun, then at the Heart of the Giant Beast, so close he could almost touch it. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
’I can’t just snatch it by force!’
’Sun is huge, and even it was immobilized by the Spiritual Shock. If I charge in with my small frame, I’ll probably end up the same way.’
’I have to find a way to deal with this meddlesome remnant of the Modo Giant Beast’s will first.’
In a flash, a bold idea formed in Raylo’s mind.
’Fight poison with poison!’
’So you’re just a remnant will?’
’Well, I just happen to have one of those myself!’
Without hesitation, he pulled something from his Spatial Bag.
It was a ferocious-looking snake head.
It was none other than "Ice Wind," a Demon Head of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent.
The moment the Demon Head appeared, the tyrannical will of the Nine-headed Demon Serpent lingering within it was instantly activated by the surrounding energy fluctuations.
An aura just as powerful—but even more evil and chaotic—erupted from the Demon Head.
"HISS!"
A blurry, serpentine phantom rose from the Demon Head, letting out a silent hiss.
After countless ages, two remnant wills of ancient beings met once again in this bizarre fashion.
The will of the Modo Giant Beast had clearly sensed this familiar, yet hostile, aura.
It released its spiritual suppression of Sun and focused all its attention on the phantom of Ice Wind’s will.
"ROAR!"
"HISS!"
Like mortal enemies meeting on the battlefield, the two monstrously powerful phantoms roared and instantly began tearing at and slamming into one another.
For a moment, the sky above the lake roiled with turbulent energy as the very air seemed to change.
’My chance!’
This was the exact opportunity Raylo had been waiting for!
He immediately spurred on Moonlight beneath him.
"Moonlight, go!"
"AWOOO!"
Moonlight understood instantly. Its massive silver body became a streak of light, shooting toward the Heart of the Giant Beast hovering over the Mire Lake.
Raylo reached out and, without the slightest hesitation, seized the still-throbbing, Jade-glowing heart, gripping it tightly in his hand.
An unimaginably vast wave of Life Energy surged up his arm and into his body.
Raylo felt as if every cell in his body was singing with joy.
He could even feel the bottleneck of his Peak Earth Knight cultivation begin to loosen.
’What a treasure!’
’This is an absolute treasure!’
Overjoyed, Raylo didn’t have time to savor the feeling and immediately tucked the Heart of the Giant Beast inside his clothes.
"Coal Ball! Go back!"
He yelled.
Coal Ball, still perched on Moonlight’s head, activated its Space Magic once more.
A flash of black light.
When Raylo and Moonlight reappeared, they were safely back on the ground, surrounded by the heavy protection of the Giant Legion.
The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, so fast that no one could even react.
By the time Cashmo and the others snapped out of it, the Heart of the Giant Beast was gone.
"ROAR!"
Cashmo let out a heart-wrenching roar, filled with indignation and fury.
He could only watch as the ultimate treasure he had dreamed of was snatched away right before his eyes by a human, using a method he couldn’t even begin to comprehend.
The feeling was worse than death itself.
