Handsome, extremely handsome!
Simple, without distractions, Ye Lin felt that only this word could describe Seghete!
The sacred and majestic golden armor, its surface rippling with terrifying magical patterns, covered a body that was not flesh but a luminous form made of pure elements, dazzling to the extreme. In his hand, he held a sharp light sword, and the powerful energy within it made the +11 Flame Sun pale in comparison.
How could the light of a firefly contend with the brilliance of the scorching sun!
Seghete's lightning-blue hair, surprisingly, behaved like real strands, swaying with his movements.
To everyone's surprise, he voluntarily left the City Lord's Palace and descended directly into the depths of the Dark Mystic Corridor, hovering above the crowd like a condensed scorching sun radiating dazzling light.
The strongest guardian of the magical army personally created by Bakal, the City Lord of Sky City—Seghete!
"Intruders!"
Seghete pointed his right hand remotely at Barn, and a dense light gathered in his palm. The next moment, a surging pillar of energy light shot out.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
Barn had already vanished with the light, and Sky City, a magical structure that had never been damaged by anyone and was even difficult for Awakeners to contend with, was directly pierced through three layers!
"The aura fluctuation is still there; he's not dead."
"I'll go save him."
Princess Isabella no longer bothered to explore the mysteries of the Light City Lord. The upcoming battle was for the big shots; the 'salted fish' like them should quickly retreat.
G.S.D slowly drew his sword. Although Barn had been greatly fatigued by the Destroyer, Seghete's move was enough to show that he was not someone an ordinary Awakener could provoke.
But what surprised him even more was that even he would have struggled to withstand that light pillar head-on, yet Barn still had a life left?
In that instant, his wave perception sensed a mysterious magical energy surge that saved his life, seemingly... Barn's ring?
"You all retreat and protect yourselves."
Before he finished speaking, an equally powerful aura burst forth, and at the same time, the sky darkened…
Seghete's terrifying light energy had already illuminated the Dark Mystic Corridor like daylight. After the Old man drew his sword, a unique scene formed, half light and half darkness.
Dark Heaven's Wave Eye!
"Though you reside in darkness, your heart yearns for light. I sense a trace of light within your dark domain. You are very strong."
Seghete suddenly clenched his left fist, and powerful lightning energy exploded on his arm. Compared to that little worm who didn't die, this blind Old man was the one most worthy of serious attention.
"By the command of Lord Bakal, expel all who trespass Sky City!"
Seghete, like a streak of light, swiftly pierced through the dark domain, his light sword pointing directly at G.S.D's vital throat. But in the next instant, he rapidly shifted his body, dodging the light wings that suddenly appeared behind the Old man.
Shalan took out an ancient magic scroll, opened a magic shield, and wanted to loudly tell Seghete that Bakal was dead, and to end this unnecessary conflict.
"Principal Shalan, don't rush…"
Ye Lin grabbed her arm and shook his head slightly, making a shushing gesture.
Seeing that Shalan, and even Mai Lu, were very confused, he could only sigh and explain in a low voice: "The Old man… cough cough, the big shot, his strength should be a bit stronger than the Light City Lord. However, Seghete is immortal, so he'll have an advantage. The City Lord's attributes are completely opposite to the big shot's. Light and darkness naturally counteract each other, and it seems the big shot is using Seghete to cultivate something."
The two most precious treasures of the Asura class: the Wave Stone and the Secret Wave Manual.
Although the former was in the Old man's hands, it was just an ordinary stone. The Old man often used this stone to inspire Asura Professionals to comprehend the mysteries of the waves, and over time, it became rumored as a "divine artifact"!
As for the Secret Wave Manual, while such a divine artifact indeed existed, no one knew its specific contents. Only a few fragmented words circulated in Arad.
The manual recorded that the Awakener title of Asura, Great Dark Heaven, when cultivated to the extreme, would transform darkness into light, creating a phenomenon of extreme reversal.
With equal strength and opposite attributes, Seghete was simply the best whetstone tailor-made for the big shot, without a second one.
Ye Lin and Siate also watched with great interest. Although the two big shots were not orthodox Sword Souls, their swordsmanship was sharp and refined, offering some reference value.
"I'm a little scared. We're at the very top of Sky City, inside the Sky Sea. What if they accidentally damage the magic array outside?"
Yuena's pretty face turned pale. Fighting wasn't scary, but fighting in Sky City was. She couldn't help but worry about what would happen if Sky City collapsed…
Suddenly, an unexpected turn occurred in the arena. The Old man's aura abruptly weakened, and the dark domain was completely torn apart by light. Even his last ability to actively detonate the domain seemed to have vanished.
The light sword in Seghete's hand instantly pointed at G.S.D's glabella, and the sharp sword light stopped half an inch from his skin.
"You felt it."
"Yes, such an evil gaze, it seems to carry a curse effect."
The reason the Old man suddenly fell into a disadvantage was, naturally, because he was glared at by the Eye of Sin from the Suspended City. In a battle between experts, even the slightest mistake could not be tolerated.
"Great Light City Lord, your master Bakal is already dead."
Shalan hurriedly took out a magic scroll, seizing this rare opportunity and time, striving to resolve the problem.
"Swear to defend Sky City to the death, this is the master's command!"
Seghete's lightning-blue hair suddenly trembled for a moment, then returned to calm.
His mission was to guard Sky City. Even if Bakal was truly dead, he would obey Bakal's final command to him. This was loyalty, this was his immortal belief.
"This…"
Shalan held the magic scroll, momentarily at a loss. She hadn't expected Seghete to acknowledge Bakal's command, rather than Bakal's life or death.
"I'll do it."
Ye Lin grabbed the scroll and tore it open. Since Bakal had a dying message for Seghete, opening it would reveal what it was.
A surge of magical energy emanated from the scroll, slowly forming a tall, burly projection in mid-air.
Even though the projection was blurry and constantly shaking, that oppressive, absolute domineering aura, that regal presence, could only belong to Explosive Dragon King Bakal.
"Seghete, I feel your loyalty. Now, open the last Suspended City. There, I have prepared trials and rewards, as well as my final dying message. Do not destroy this rather interesting magic array. Amusing, hehe."
The projection ended there, but Ye Lin frowned slightly. There was no mention of Seghete dying in the dying message? And he even ordered him not to destroy the magic array?
Suspended City, a city suspended beneath the Sky Sea. Legend has it that there were thousands of Suspended Cities, used to monitor the actions of the Celestial beings.
Seghete didn't hesitate. His figure flickered, and he plunged down through the crack created when he pierced Barn.
"Let's follow him. The Explosive Dragon King's trial seems to be for us."
Similarly, they agilely descended through the crack. Before they could even stand firm, they saw Seghete tear open a layer of magic array, revealing the perilous suspended staircase made of zero-gravity fragments outside Sky City.
On one side was Sky City, on the other was Suspended City. The staircase was only about a meter wide with no safety measures, and below were white clouds…
"Old man, I'm not interested in any rewards, but what about that evil gaze? These little ones can't handle it, can they?"
"The Eye of Sin's gaze has an interval. You can reach the top within an hour," Seghete replied.
"Since the magic array is safe, I don't need to go up."
Shalan breathed a sigh of relief. Seghete's stubborn loyalty was a headache, but now, it was also a comfort.
Bakal said not to destroy it, so he definitely wouldn't act.
"I'm scared…"
Yuena's pretty face was pale. She didn't have acrophobia, but the narrow passage and howling cold wind were chilling.
"I'll carry you on my back."
Ye Lin patted his shoulder, looking like a caring team leader.
"No, if you slip, two of us will die…"
"Then I'm going? Aren't you tempted by an Apostle's reward? Do you still want to see the source of the evil gaze? Are you still a great Saint? Do you have any ambition?"
While Ye Lin was 'coldly mocking' with his words, Siate and Mai Lu had already stepped onto the suspended staircase ahead of him.
Siate wanted to become stronger herself and couldn't miss any potential opportunities. Mai Lu was because Bakal was an Apostle, a mortal enemy of the Great Will, a being who had participated in that war.
"Please…"
Yuena hesitated but decided to go up and see. There was no reason to miss the source of the evil gaze.
Barn, supported by Isabella, surprisingly didn't leave. Instead, he stumbled to the entrance of the Suspended City.
His eyes flickered. His injuries were lighter than anyone had expected; Seghete's impact energy had caused almost no damage.
If he entered the Suspended City, with half of his Sword Saint strength remaining…
"Get lost! I didn't kill you only because it's not yet time to fall out with that woman."
Seghete suddenly appeared in front of Barn, his palm-held light sword growing even more dazzling, pointing with immense disdain at Barn's right hand, at that strange ring.
