Lilith could feel the aura of a Seventh Order Higher Existence rapidly approaching her. However, she did not panic at all and kept pushing her speed just enough but not too much, thus saving as much Mana as possible.
In a normal battle, Lilith probably couldn''t win against Michael without paying a great price. At the very least, she believed her chances of victory were below 50%.
At the end of the day, Michael who was known as the Archangel of Fire was the holder of a divine me. The problem was that this divine me was not just any divine me but was a 100% damage- focused one that would be increasingly powerful as its user became more enraged.
Against Michael''s me, Lilith was certain that the power of her Firmament Fragment left behind by the Ice Goddess Skadi would be negated by at least 90% not to mention her normal ice-like skills.
However... This was only the case under "normal" circumstances.
Lilith''s lips curved slightly into a bewitching smile, but the coldness in her eyes was so chilling that if Michael who was chasing her saw it he would probably think twice about his next moves.
After ying the cat and mouse game for several minutes with one chasing and the other being hunted, Lilith finally stopped dead in her tracks.
Secondster, Michael shed and appeared in front of her.
"I want to see where you run to now." He said coolly as he waved his hands towards the sky, "[Prison of Eternal Light!]"
A beam of white light descended from the crimson sky, in an instant covering over 300 kilometers. Lilith and Michael were covered by the light in a heartbeat."This Prison of Eternal Light is a skill that all angels in heaven have. All of us followers of light obtain this skill immediately upon entering the Army of Heaven." Michael sneered as he looked at Lilith as if he was already imagining her desperation, "This skill allows us to lock down an area and iste it from spacew for a certain period of time, and even I won''t be able to leave for the next 30 minutes. Any enemy below my level can forget about leaving this ce... Do you know what that means?"
Lilith''s eyes glittered mysteriously as she gazed at Michael. No one knew what she was thinking.
Michael frowned slightly at how calm she was and for some reason began to feel a little ufortable inside.
"I will subdue you until you meow like a kitten!" Michael raised his fiery spear and growled loudly, "[Fire Lord Descent!]"
Lilith stared as Michael''s entire body suddenly turned into a kind of ming spirit. His size grew approximately double as did his spear, and the temperature within several kilometers grew so much that the surroundings became swampy.
Die!
Even though Michael had be a little giant, his movement speed absolutely wasn''t something to scoff at. One would expect his general dexterity except for his physical strength would drop, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Lilith only saw a sh as out of pure instinct she raised her sword and shed forward.
BANG!!!
She was pushed back several tens of meters, but even before she could stabilize herself Lilith could already feel the burning heat of her opponent''s spear about to pierce her belly.
"[Ice Nova!]"
A sh of white light expanded outward with Lilith as its center. Michael did not dare to underestimate this attack but also did not retreat, instead, he pushed hard while roaring at the top of his lungs.
BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!
The fire spear met the ice novaunched by Lilith, creating a massive explosion that pushed both of them backward.
The surrounding area immediately became a mess. Half of the battlefield was covered in ice while the other 50% changed into a world of fieryva.
Lilith''s right arm burned almost ck while ayer of ice covered Michael''s body, weakening the power of his mes and greatly restricting his movements.
At first nce, it would seem that the two came out more or less evenly matched, but the reality was different.
"Your ice skills are useless against me, you vermin." Michael''s voice sounded indifferent but Lilith could hear the disdain in his words.
His body of mes suddenly burned fiercely, making theyer of ice covering his silhouette begin to melt rapidly. Not even five secondster, all the ice that restricted him disappeared without a trace; not even steam was left behind, all of it was devoured by the mes.
On the other hand, Lilith''s scorched right arm was still like that and she would probably take a good amount of time to heal this wound. After all, this was a burn made by a divine me that was raised beyond the Fifth Order and could be considered a true divine me in contrast to Bai Zemin''s divine mes which were still weak.<novelsnext></novelsnext>
"Surrender ande with me," Michael ordered as he looked down at her.
Lilith seemed to feel no pain at all as she let out a chuckle, "Old man, it seems like you have lived so long that you are now gettingpletely delusional."
"You won''t shed tears until you see your coffin!" Michael raged and the power of his me grew.
In an instant, the two were once again entangled in fiercebat.
Explosions echoed inside the prison of light and the ground sank so deep that a 100- story building could bepletely covered by the crater there. Shockwaves spread everywhere, hitting the white light walls hard and causing them to tremble as if they were on the verge of copse.
zing mes and ice-cold st waves flew everywhere, colliding with more and more intensity. At the same time, Michael''s spear and Lilith''s sword were like two blurs in their hands.
Lilith was forced to defense from the very beginning of the fight. She was pressed by her opponent''s fierce and extremely lethal attacks to the point where even breathing was impossible.
As a matter of fact, Lilith did not dare to breathe for fear of the other party''s mes breaking into her system.
It was well known that fire could to some extent suppress water regardless of the form of thetter. At the same time, of course, water in its different states could suppress fire just as light and darkness could devour each other; two faces of the same coin.
However, Michael''s fire was not just any fire. He was in possession of the most powerful divine attack me! Moreover, Michael had many fire-like skills that were instantly boosted by his me!
In fact, it was a miracle that Lilith was still able to fight face-to-face with Michael for so long. Any other ice mage would have sumbed long ago!After an unknown amount of time, Lilith and Michael disengaged as if they had reached some sort of tactical agreement with each other. There were several wounds on Lilith''s body, as well as some bleeding holes. The most terrifying thing was that no liquid blood wasing out of the holes but a deep red steam; she was being ignited from the inside! One could only try to imagine how immense the pain she was feeling was, yet her expression did not show that.
"You... You''re using more than just mana," Michael muttered to himself as he observed Lilith''s condition carefully. This time, even someone as arrogant as he was had to admit that if he continued to hold back, he might die facing a Higher Existence that was easily 200 levels and an Order lower than him.
There was a faintyer of ckish-colored ice covering his body, but this time Michael was having difficulty getting rid of itpletely. Although he had only lost about 8% of his motion and freedom, he wasn''t too worried as he only needed a few minutes to fully recover. On the other hand, his opponent certainly wouldn''tst much longer.
"Bitch, you..." Michael narrowed his eyes and said slowly but firmly, "You''re not from our dimension at all, are you?"
"As expected of a high Archangel. Your knowledge is quite extensive, hehe." Lilith looked like she was on the verge of copse but her eyes were shining brighter than ever.
"What kind of crap energy is this?" Michael frowned and ignored his opponent''s mockery. He was surprised to discover that even without being attacked by Lilith, he was still suffering. Theyer of ice covering his body kept fighting his mes as if it were alive!
Lilith scoffed at the sight of Michael spendingrge amounts of his mana to push the power of his me. As long as she was alive and willing, her enemies could forget about breaking free of her ice.
"Will?" Michael suddenly thought of something, and his expression abruptly changed. He gazed at Lilith in shock and shouted, "You rat!"
"Hahahaha!" Lilith burst outughing and looked at Michael as if she was looking at a clown, "You finally figured it out? That''s right, this ce is my world! My home was destroyed years ago! But I don''t think I need to say this, or do I?"
Michael realized that this was all much more serious than he initially thought. He was sure that even the God of Heaven hadn''t realized the problem yet... No, no one in the entire universe they came from had realized how immense the problem was! However, he soon calmed down.
"Hmph. So what if you can use mana and will? It doesn''t change the fact that you will die today!"
"Just before you said that, you Heaven''s Angels get this skill called Prison of Eternal Light after joining the Army of Heaven." Lilith ignored Michael''s words and said with a hint of ridicule, "On the other hand, we members of the Demonic Army have a skill called Racial Root... Unlike you arrogant angels, our faction can still revert for a certain period of time to our former race."
Having been an enemy and opponent of the Demonic Army, Michael naturally knew what Lilith was talking about. However, he couldn''t help but scoff.
"So what if you can go back to your previous race? You''re a high-ranking demon and have powerful racial records right now. If you change your race now, you will only weaken or lose some of your current traits."
"If I hadn''t joined the Demonic Army and wasn''t a Subus, you might be right." Lilith sighed and shook her head. A momentter, however, her lips curved slightly into a smile full of charm as she said, Unfortunately for you...''''
Lilith activated Racial Root, and soon Michael understood what she meant by those words.
"This is a little secret of mine, I hope you keep it to yourself... Oh, well. You won''t be able to get out of here alive so whatever." Lilith muttered as her whole being underwent a tremendous change.
