Chapter 1420: Taking sides
Leona's arrows seemed to be imbued with a common will and goal. After slightly adjusting their direction in the air, they were like a swarm of bloodthirsty bees that had smelled blood, launching a saturation volley from all directions, above, below, left, and right, toward Nightsong in the center.
Leona's lips curled into a slight smile, thinking to herself, 'Hmph, my arrows have more than just mana-draining and tracking effects.'
'I've thoroughly studied your human genetic weapons!'
In fact, the reason why this arrow can absorb magic is essentially the effect of a genetic weapon.
The arrowheads were coated with an extremely toxic substance that was highly repulsive to human genetic sequences. This substance was extremely poisonous to humans; even a tiny amount inhaled would cause severe dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.
Even a tiny bit of it will kill low- to mid-level superhumans instantly! High-level superhumans will also lose all ability to resist and be at the mercy of others!
Night Song is a transcendent warrior at the Soul Emperor realm, so his resistance is naturally stronger. Therefore, if the arrow does not hit him, it only absorbs magic power and soul power for him, and does not cause any fatal injury.
But even a slight graze from this arrow!
No matter how strong you are, Ye Ge, your extraordinary cells will be destroyed instantly, and your gene chain will break in an instant. Even if you are a Soul Emperor, the same will be true!
As Ye Ge gazed at the relentless rain of arrows that seemed to follow him everywhere, he raised his hand and conjured a magical shield that shimmered with a ghostly light in front of him.
However, the moment the arrow struck, it seemed to pierce straight through the shield without any resistance! Even the magic power that formed the shield was frantically absorbed by the arrowhead, causing the shield's light to dim rapidly!
Night Song feigned a troublesome expression, frowning slightly: "Hiss... It can even absorb magic shields? This is a bit tricky..."
Leona chuckled inwardly: 'Of course, your magic is produced by the extraordinary cells within your body.'
'I have thoroughly studied the genes of your human race, and also the genes of your Night Clan!'
'Once I understand the flaws in your demonized mutant genes, the energy shield created by your superhuman cells will be utterly ineffective against my genetic weapons.'
'Night Song, Night Song, no matter how smart you are, you probably never imagined that your genes had already been sold out by your Night family's subordinates, did you?'
"Roar--!"
"boom--!!!"
The two-headed spirit dragon once again unleashed a destructive breath intertwined with poisonous waterfalls and seas of fire.
The giant tree demon spread its massive hands, and its branches and vines grew wildly and endlessly, quickly weaving a sky-covering forest cage hundreds of meters in the air!
Nightsong's figure flashed rapidly amidst the breath of the two-headed elven dragon, the attacks of the clawed druid, Leona's homing arrows, and the ever-retracting net of trees, appearing to be in grave danger.
Besides the battle in the air, the battle on the plains below was equally fierce.
The combined forces of Holy Elves, Night Elves, and Demons clashed fiercely with an alliance of Demons, Spirits, Fallen Angels, and Succubi, their roars and wails shaking the heavens and earth.
The terrain was drastically altered during the fierce battle, with the earth torn open by several bottomless ravines. Wildfires spread, and thick smoke and purple mist mingled together.
"Sorcery - Demonic Spirit Fire!"
With a wave of her hand, Su Yanling unleashed a crimson flame that engulfed a Dark Elf general.
She looked up at the sky, watching the battle between Ye Ge and the two Soul Emperor realm experts from the Gene Company, her eyes filled with undisguised worry.
'As expected, even Ye Ge's strength was affected by the eerie fog...'
She wanted to break through and go up to help Ye Ge.
However, there were far too many enemies in front of them, and they were constantly pouring out from the surrounding purple mist.
Besides the warriors of the Holy Elves, Night Elves, and Demons, there were also quite a few warriors of the Zerg!
Moreover, the eerie mist also suppressed her strength.
It's impossible to finish!
Bai Xueling was also surrounded. She hovered above the forest and, after slaying several elven flying beasts, she glanced at the battle situation on Ye Ge's side and transmitted her voice, "Hey, how long are you going to keep this up?"
While calmly and effortlessly dealing with the combined attack of the two Soul Emperor realm experts, Ye Ge replied, "Hehe, what's wrong, getting impatient?"
"I just don't know what you're up to." Bai Xueling asked curiously, "What are you waiting for?"
"Don't rush." Ye Ge turned and glanced at Ye Bing, who was just going through the motions in the sky battlefield on the other side. "I think it should be soon."
Ye Bing fought this battle rather half-heartedly.
Although it appears that she is constantly fighting against the enemy forces around her, a closer look reveals that she is not actually acting at all.
"kill!!!!"
A demon general at the third level of the Soul Emperor realm led over a hundred high-level demon warriors, wielding giant axes, and charged towards her.
Ye Bing glanced up and then slapped him to the ground.
"Get the hell away from me! Don't fucking bother me!"
"boom!!"
The surging air currents were like an invisible giant hand, instantly blasting the hundreds of demon warriors back, causing them to cough up blood and fly backward, their formation collapsing!
"..." The surrounding enemy troops immediately fell silent, and no one dared to step forward to provoke them anymore.
However, Ye Bing did not actively attack the army, but only occasionally made a move to symbolically kill a few soldiers.
"Queen Ye Bing, shouldn't we make our move soon?" Liu Ying asked through telepathy. "It seems that Ye Ge is still under considerable suppression in this strange fog formation, otherwise he should have activated the Demon God Colossus long ago."
Ye Bing remained silent.
“Right now, Nightsong is even at a disadvantage under the combined attack of Leonardos and Leona,” Willow Oriole said. “If we all switch sides together, we should be able to take him down easily. It should be an excellent opportunity.”
"..."
Liu Ying asked curiously, "Queen Ye Bing? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Ye Bing bit her lower lip, then suddenly said irritably, "Enough with the nonsense! This queen has changed her mind!"
Liu Ying was stunned: "Huh?"
"Night Song! Give me back my things!!"
During a lull in his attack, Leonardo roared again in anger.
Ye Ge was taken aback: "Your things? What did you leave with me?"
Leonardo: "My Necromancer's Mark!!"
"Oh... so that's what it is. You should have said so earlier." Ye Ge paused, then said seriously, "I won't give it to you."
Leonardo: "..."
Ye Ge thought to himself, "It seems that this seal does indeed have some strange and wonderful uses. It seems to be quite important to this Leonardo."
“Since that’s the case,” Leonardo’s eyes darkened, “then you should just die!”
He held two fingers together in front of his chest, and a vast amount of golden soul power surged in from all directions!
"The Holy Spear of Judgment!"
Behind him, the magnificent golden magic circle unfolded once more, and another holy javelin, a hundred meters long and wrapped in judgment lightning, quickly solidified!
"--punish!"
With a flick of two fingers, Leonardos sent the Spear of Judgment transforming into a golden meteor that tore through the sky, hurtling toward Night Song!
At this moment, to Nightsong's left was the dragon's breath intertwined with poisonous flames, to his right was the fierce pounce of the Druid Bear with Claws, behind him were Leona's relentless arrows like maggots clinging to bones, and in front of him—was the deadly Holy Lance piercing through the air!
There was no way to advance or retreat, and no way to dodge.
In that very instant—
"boom!!!"
A surge of dark magic, far more powerful than before, erupted!
Ye Bing's figure flashed in front of Ye Ge like a ghost. Facing the hundred-meter-long holy spear that could pierce through mountains, she simply raised a slender white index finger and flicked it lightly.
"clang--!!!!!"
A crisp, resounding clang, like metal striking stone, echoed through the sky!
The incomparably powerful Holy Spear of Judgment was deflected in mid-air by this finger, and then shattered inch by inch, turning into golden dust that scattered all over the sky!
