Knight and Wand - Chapter 388: Wrath of the Star God

The demons were washed back to the past by the torrent of time. The huge nebula vortex above their heads was like a giant eye, and the spikes and towers standing on the crystal land were watching the rapid reversal of time and space. The unchanging scene in the demon palace seemed eternal.

Suddenly, the reversed time and space came to an abrupt stop.

The dimmed Holy Sword of the Sun fell from the disappeared cornerstone with a clanging sound.

The huge magic array-like light curtain and outline that enveloped the surroundings shrank rapidly until it completely disappeared like debris.

Leon held up Gungnir, steadying his body which was weakened by the severe pain.

He had suffered considerable internal injuries from the aftermath of defending Olivia from the spell, but fortunately, the Boiling Heart could still stimulate the life potential in his body, continuously providing him with the remaining strength to act.

Olivia picked up the holy sword and quickly turned around to support the staggering Leon.

Looking at her husband's long black hair that had grown to his shoulders under the white halo, Olivia was used to seeing this kind of special magical sign on him, so she didn't get distracted at this time.

"Fortunately, it should work."

Leon looked ahead at the huge crystal pillar that transported spiritual power to the "future".

“The great magic in the holy sword did not continue to reverse time. Since it suddenly stopped, it means that Gaia’s power has disappeared from this spiritual realm, so the magic suddenly became ineffective.

We are now at the moment before the souls of 'Klenion' and 'Gaia' merge here."

Although the reversal of time and space may only apply to the crystal realm ruled by Valari, he has done his best and achieved everything that the two of them could.

"We have to get out of here quickly." Leon reached into his waist bag with his left hand, groping for the Blood Demon Card.

Judging from the fact that Valari had been relying on a substitute wizard to do things for him, Leon guessed that the other party would probably need to maintain the extraction of the soul himself until his goal was achieved at the final moment.

But it is still not safe here. There is far more than one demon in the spiritual world. The demon army under Valarri is countless. And judging from the other party's struggle in the torrent of time and space of great magic, Leon even suspects that even if time and space are reversed, the other party can still perceive everything that happened in the "future" at this moment, just like the mysterious Goliath.

Before Valarie in the present time and space can react and send demons to hunt himself and Olivia, he must escape from the Crystal Demon Realm immediately!

He pulled out the few remaining Neti cards in his pocket.

The next second, Leon's face, which was pale due to his injury, suddenly changed.

Excluding the Crusader Knight and Canis who were lost in the Kleinian plane, and the Boiling Heart acting on his body at this moment, he should still have Callisto, Blood Demon and two Kongneti cards in his hand.

The projection of the blood demon Skoosh disappeared from one of them.

Leon's heart suddenly turned cold.

After he disappeared and followed Olivia into the vortex gate, he had no energy to check the Neti Card in his pocket. He didn't know whether it was because the Blood Demon had deliberately erased the power from the Neti Card after helping him open the door, or whether it was the result of the space-time magic of the Holy Sword of the Sun or other factors.

But no matter what, without the Blood Demon opening up a teleportation channel, are he and Olivia going to be able to fight their way out of Valarie's crystal maze?He looked around, regardless of whether he and Olivia could fight against the demons in this demonic realm, Leon had no idea how to leave the crystal realm.

The magic power required to drive this powerful magic weapon across the realm is far from enough even if Olivia and himself are drained dry.

"Thank you, warm sun." A sudden voice made Leon and Olivia raise their weapons and turn around to point them backwards.

Without noticing, the two of them saw a huge spherical shadow with countless blue arms and tentacles floating not far behind them.

Leon was stunned for a moment, but he barely recognized the other person from the familiar blue arm virtual image: "You are. Klein?. You have escaped?!"

".That's what they call me. You can also call me Klein. I knew from 'Him's' dream that you could save me and you did it. Thank you."

The dazzling blue light flickered like a beating pulse, and a soft voice that could not be distinguished between male and female could be heard from it:

".Not only is He from your hometown helping you to drive the power just now, I also took the opportunity to break free from the constraints of the future."

As the blue star soul shadow spoke, it slowly floated down from mid-air and flew towards Leon.

Leon frowned, carefully raised his hand to protect Olivia and took a few steps back.

"You saved me, and I stayed just to repay your help." The blue light flashed, and the voice was weak and innocent.

"Then I only ask you to take us out of the spirit world now!" Leon still did not let down his guard.

"I can send you away but he won't give up. We must destroy this place and end this cycle of fate forever." Craneen's voice echoed leisurely.

As if to verify these words, waves of magical explosions that tore through space suddenly resounded around the sacrificial site.

Leon and Olivia reacted quickly and looked around.

Amid the countless twisted whirlpools that suddenly appeared, demons that had gathered here in the near "future" were now crossing the cracks in the spirit world and entering this place.

Leon had never seen this scene at this point in time in the shadow of time reversal by time and space magic.

The worst scenario came true, and the demon was indeed able to discover the reversed fate of this area.

".He is coming. I was not born at this moment, and I cannot interfere with the present unless you contain my power. At this moment, only you can bear it."

The voice of Star Soul is still urging.

Leon realized that he had lost the Blood Demon's means of opening a passage to the spirit world, and now he could only choose to trust the Star Soul in front of him.

"Just do as you say! Come on!"

"Then we will temporarily merge into one."

As Leon nodded in acceptance, the center of Kleinian's huge blue pistil-shaped shadow suddenly glowed, and the shadow turned into a spiral vortex, as if being pulled by a force and suddenly drilled into Leon's chest. "——!!!"

In an instant, he felt a terrifying force he had never experienced before washing over his body and soul. In the pain that stung every inch of his nerves, Leon tried to howl.

The magic tide surrounding them raised a pillar of light that shot up into the sky. The powerful impact caused waves and even blew Olivia away.

The girl's golden hair was flying and her torn robes were rustling. She managed to insert the Holy Sword of the Sun into the crystal earth and barely stopped her body from being blown back by the shock wave. She raised her head, her golden eyes full of worry.

“——Leon!!”

Olivia only had time to call out before she had to draw her sword, turn around and hold up the sharp blade to face the huge demon that spread its wings and flew towards her.

Countless voices overlapped, and in Leon's eyes filled with light, he saw billions of different images.Heat, cold, rainstorm, thunder. The pulse of the earth, the eruption of volcanoes.The first intelligence swam in the ocean. The first pair of eyes looked up at the starry sky above.The memories of trillions of living beings seemed to tear his soul and consciousness apart.Countless cycles of life and death circulated repeatedly in his mindHe thought he was about to be annihilated in this massive mental shock, until a flash of light flashed across this endless huge consciousness, and Leon realized that he had returned to the present.

The light that enveloped his body disappeared, and he instinctively stretched out the wings of light behind him. The blazing white halo behind his head also turned into a bright blue color.

He lowered his eyes filled with blue light, waiting to see the demons attacking Olivia. In an instant, anger replaced peace, and an unknown fire surged in his heart.

There is both annoyance at the threat to the loved one.

"Get away!!!"

The roar that burst out of his mouth was not like words, but like thunder resounding in the spiritual world. Picking up Gungnir, Leon instinctively stabbed down the gun blade that was shining with lightning.

In an instant, a torrent of pure chaotic magic rushed out.

The blue light of the magic spear was like a giant's sword, rushing towards the group of demons in front of Olivia with thunder wrapped around it.

Along the traces swept by the light, the collapsed crystal cracks spread wildly, forming a deep cracked canyon amidst the deafening collapse sound, and the ground made of crystal trembled and collapsed into a deep ditch.

Vibrating his light wings, Leon lowered his gun blade, turned into a blue meteor, and fell into the cracked crystal earth, catching the falling Olivia.

With his arms around the girl's waist and knees, Leon spread his wings, shook the airflow, and flew up to the crystal cliff.

Olivia, curled up in his arms, could not help but stare blankly at the face with eyes full of thunder, skin glowing with a faint light, and black hair fluttering.

".Leon?. Or you?"

He lowered his head when he heard the voice, and looking at his lover's face with blood still on the corner of his mouth, Leon's heart suddenly tightened.

He immediately used all his strength to construct healing magic to cover his wife in his arms.

The nearly infinite magic power drove the infinite warm force to forcibly penetrate the disturbing magic field and stimulate Olivia's body to heal itself.

".Of course it's me."

Leon smiled and glanced at the blue light around him: "I just changed the magic light effect, don't worry."

Seeing that he was still in the mood to joke, Olivia couldn't help but feel relieved.

Klein's voice suddenly rang in Leon's mind again.

cage?

Leon put Olivia down and, following the guidance of the Star Soul voice in his heart, looked towards the giant crystal pillar that was floating in front of him like a mountain.

Without hesitation, Leon picked up Gungnir and held it upside down in his hand, with the blade pointing straight ahead, injecting the divine power given by Kleinion with the maximum force he could bear.

"Olivia, stay away!"

Feeling that the gun had reached the limit of what it could hold, the trajectory of the inevitable hit converged in his eyes, and with a roar, Leon threw out the completely lightning-transformed lightning gun.

boom! !

Lightning roared, and the speeding Gungnir stirred up circles of electric rings, which turned into a pure blue light that penetrated the giant pillar.

The crack suddenly sunken and spread wildly like a spider web. Huge fragments fell from the crystal mountain, slowly tilting and gradually overturning under the pressure of its own huge mass. The lower part of the column lost its magic power and fell into the chaotic sea below.

A terrifying, heart-wrenching roar came from afar.

Leon looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sickle blade cutting through space. In the torn space and time, a hideous and arrogant demon stepped out of the vortex.

Leon was not surprised by Valarie's late appearance.

Since the star god Craneen has been freed by the great magic of Lady Aphrodite.Then, naturally, Valari no longer needs to personally maintain the powerful magic that imprisons the soul.

A scorching light shone from his palm, thunder roared above his head, and Gungnir, which had just been thrown, fell from the sky accompanied by thunder.

Drawing the gun and pointing the winged blade at the huge three-headed demon, Leon spoke, but his voice suddenly had a soft tone that did not belong to him.

"I told you you would fail, and that is exactly what I see happening."

As if he had suffered some kind of humiliation, Valari's head, which was flashing with magic fire, was shrouded in anger.

".Even you, even you, cannot stop my Lord's immortal path!"

The eagle head on Valarri's shoulder let out a piercing roar, and three pairs of giant wings spread out. Its strong arms raised the crystal sickle high, and another pair of sharp claws stretched out from the wide sleeves of the king's robe, outlining the seal: "I still have a chance. Although I don't know how you escaped annihilation, I just want to keep you here forever!!"

Leon frowned, picked up the magic spear, and suddenly spread the wings of light. His black hair fluttered with the rising magic power. The next moment, his body turned into lightning and flew away with thunder.
