Chapter 590 Two-Fold Battle (3)
"W..retch…" That was the last word that Lord Raven uttered as he looked at Leon full of anger and disbelief.
Leon coldly watched Lord Raven's body plummet down to the ground beneath.
Lord Raven's head rolled on the cliff where the deep abyss he created earlier was. In front of everyone.
Lord Raven's head was burned by the angry river of lava at the bottom of the abyss while his body withered to skin and bones then slowly disintegrated to dust.
"Roaaarrr!!" The crowd on the battlefield cheered and tears flowed in their eyes as they saw Lord Raven's fall.
"Thank Heavens! The Third Prince won!" They exclaimed praises and prayed to the heavens with gratitude.
Tears were falling on their faces as they saw how the enemy who had oppressed them for generations finally die.
With Lord Raven's defeat, hope arises in the hearts of the soldiers and warriors on Leon's side, however, Rachana and Pope Ramir's eyes widened in fear and disbelief.
The two parties all looked at the other battlefield who are fighting intensely. The outcome of the bloody battle would depend on the fight between Birsha and Eli.
If Eli ever succeeds, then it would be the victory of the righteous and the peace in Prasinos would finally bloom forth.
If Birsha prevails, then Prasinos would face the inevitable doom, as no one at present could contend against Birsha.
Knowing that, Leon flew towards Eli's side in hopes to help her in any way he could.
Bang!
Unfortunately, he was hindered by an invisible wall that he could not penetrate through even if he used all of his powers.
"Master… it seems like they were fighting in a different dimension within this same place. It was like a barricade where no one other than the two could enter or escape." Zenith suddenly materialized and informed Leon of the matter.
'Will she be okay…' Leon frowned as he looked at Eli who was fighting with Birsha inside the barricade.
"Prince Master… Eli-chan said to not worry about her, instead, we shall help the others in the fight so that no more lives will be lost. She said to believe in her and she will succeed."
Suddenly, Wisey and Baobao, whose appearances no longer had the grave injuries they sustained early in the fight appeared beside Leon as well.
Leon looked at Eli reluctantly and smiled helplessly. Then with a deep breath he held his sword and said, "Alright, I believe in her. Always!"
Then Leon carried his sword to face the demonoid army who was now in a panic state because just like Lord Raven, they could no longer replenish their curse power no matter what they did.
Inside the barricade, Eli faced Birsha fearlessly as she no longer had the fear she had before.
The fight between her and Birsha is quite bizarre.
Unlike Lord Raven and Leon, their fight does not really focus on combat but rather on spiritual powers.
Eli repeatedly tested spiritual attacks to break Birsha's defense; however, the fallen Angel's power could not still be underestimated.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless spiritual attacks flew from both sides and the two did their best to dodge each other's attack.
Eli looked at her body and saw the damage that Birsha's attack could do.
The moment Birsha's attack touches the surface of her skin, her body, soul, and spirit would be injured.
Birsha's evil power lies in decay.
His attacks would cause the affected part of her body to visibly decay.
What's more, the decay did not stop on her flesh but continues deeper into her soul causing her memories of her two lives to disperse.
Eli now understood why The Great One chose to split her soul and spirit in two and let her live two lifetimes.
Because if for some reason, Eli fought Birsha with only half a soul, then she would surely lose her being before she could even defeat him. It was a frightening thing to have your memories and your very being vanish slowly through the power of decay.
Aside from this, her spirit would also be affected by the power of decay.
When the power of decay touches her spirit, she felt like she was drawing farther away from the heavens, and a window that pours out spiritual powers at her disposal would be destroyed and no longer usable.
That also means that her attacks and spiritual power would be weaker. By now, she had ten windows of heaven and she already had three of them destroyed.
More than that, Eli had a nagging feeling that if she did not stop Birsha from destroying her spirit, she would no longer have the capacity to fight against him, much less defeat him.
As for her, she would disintegrate and disappear… Fortunately, because of the Great One's plan to split her soul and spirit in half, she would be able to last longer in the fight.
Her bigger spirit caused her to open ten windows, which fueled her powers to fight against Birsha.
Birsha's extremely damaging power is the very reason why Eli spent a large amount of her spiritual mana to create a strong barricade to isolate the world outside.
That is because once someone is hit by it, their existence would be erased in an instant!
"Heh… you seem to have your mind wandering at the moment, woman!" Birsha's red eyes looked at Eli viciously as he uttered these words.
"Are you being smug about the fact that your lover managed to defeat my vessel?" He continued as he threw more purple and black colored spiritual attacks toward Eli.
Eli did not bother to reply, after all, the one in front of her is someone she needed to defeat at all costs.
"Hehehe… do not get your hopes up! As long as I am around, I can find another vessel and create an army again!" Birsha grinned widely and his face became more sinister as he detailed his plans for Eli to hear.
"As for you and your comrades, all of you will die here!"
Birsha laughed loudly as he conjured his decay powers and increased the size and speed of his spiritual attacks.
Eli's eyes dimmed, as she did her best to dodge the ferocious spiritual attacks.
Ever since she was able to suddenly get close to Lord Raven a while ago, making her successful in separating his and Birsha's spirit, Birsha no longer wanted Eli to get near him again.
As such, Eli has been struggling to find an opportunity to close the distance between her and Birsha so that she could execute another decisive attack using the remnant power of the Great One in the Book of Knowledge.
Now that she has used it, she has a sense of how much power it contained as of the moment and Eli knew that once she released this and was not successful, she no longer had anything at hand to defeat Birsha.
Releasing the power at a long distance would decrease the success rate, and so the only answer was to use it when she was closest to the fallen angel!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With a vicious smile, Birsha released his spiritual attacks as if it was unlimited, and that he was not even worried that he would lose his powers anytime.
"Are you wondering why I was not worried that I would run out of power?" He asked.
Eli did not answer, but her mind was also wondering why. As far as she knows, Birsha as the fallen angel only had the remnants of his original power and could only fuel his power through the curse.
But now where Leon successfully cut off every connection of the curse power in all living things in Prasinos, he should have no means to replenish his power.
Birsha grinned sinisterly once more and said, "Look at that vast army…" He waved his hand and pointed at Pope Ramir, Rachana, and the rest of the demonoids.
"Aren't they a free source of power?" Birsha grinned as he snapped his hand and in one second, a third of the behemoths suddenly disappeared from all over the world.
"While the living things here would no longer give us powers, I still have my own people! After all, they could no longer be considered living! Hahaha!" Birsha laughed as his body glowed purple.
Then he released his powerful might, forcing Eli to step back vigilantly.
Birsha saw Eli's reaction and has already read long ago her hesitations in mind, "I see that your powers are also limited, and so do I…"
"But as long as you are hurt by my powers, your chances of replenishing also go down!"
"As for me, I would still have the vast army around the world to fuel my spirit until I erase your existence to this world and spite the One who sent you here!"
Birsha waved his hand once more and attacked Eli with a triumphant smile on his face. He looked at Eli as if she was a pet, he was toying with, watching her struggle until she stumbled.
"Let's see whose powers run out first!" He exclaimed.
