Against the Gods (6)

"So you're saying it didn't make a difference, and I wonder if you'll still be able to say the same thing at this end."

After I said that, I tried again and lunged at him, but he raised his right hand again, and sparks started coming out of his hand.

'Is he stupid? It'll be the same as before...' My thought was interrupted as flames, not red but golden, shot out of his hand and attacked me.

This time I was not unprepared. As soon as I saw the flames, I raised my shield and ducked behind it. Based on the pain I felt even when they were close, I concluded that they were a different kind of flame.

'This was probably the flames of the golden crow. And the flames of the phoenix bird from earlier. Then all I have to do is increase my immunity to it.' After concluding, I lowered my shield and let the flames eat me. Even though my skin and bones were melting, I slowly walked toward Yun Che. I was melting and healing at the same time. The Balance's damage to Yun Che was not much.

Seeing me not dying and approaching him, Yun Che scowled. "You are just like a pest. You don't know how to die."

"It's ridiculous this is coming from you. Haven't you lived your life as if you had all the luck in the universe?" My voice sounded distorted because my vocal cords were damaged.

"Do you know anything about me that you are talking about like this?" He answered as if he was right.

"Enough. You can use something else now." When we finished our dialogue, I was standing in front of Yun Che. The flames were still covering me, but with a release of my soul power, they scattered. Thanks to this, Yun Che saw my perfect condition.

"This power of yours is frustrating." He said and pulled a huge blood-red sword out of nothingness.

"Open the 5th Realm Hell Monarch!" Yun Che said with a serious expression, and the energy emitted from his body suddenly multiplied by a large number.

He raised his arms and a black silhouette of a wolf appeared above him.

"Fallen Heavenly Wolf!" he shouted and swung his sword down at me.

I swung my sword at him, thinking that The Miracle's buffs would help me withstand the blow.

But as soon as our swords clashed, not only did my sword break, but his attack landed on me with full force.

The impact of the attack sent me flying out of the palace. But it didn't end there. I was blown for several kilometers outside, my body smashed beyond recognition.

(Meanwhile with Yun Che)

"I don't sense any life energy from him anymore. Is he finally dead?" He looked towards the area where I was flying away and spoke to himself.

After he said that, two people appeared next to him. They were all beautiful women.

"Are you sure you don't need our help? If you want, I can enter his soul and see who sent him." Yun Che was asked by a woman with a body that was devilish and could have tempted even monks. This woman's name was Chi Wuyao.

"Didn't you see his attack just now? Whoever he is, he's a puddle of blood now." The woman with the hair that looked like ice spoke. Her name was Mu Xuanyin.

"Even if he was not killed by my attack, your help is not needed. I'll take care of it mysel-" Yun Che was about to finish when a series of cuts appeared on his chest and blood began to flow out of them.

"Che'er what happened, are you okay?!" Mu Xuanyin ran to him and grabbed his arm.

"I'm fine. It's just a mortal wound. The Great Way of Buddha will heal me in minutes."

"Given what has happened before, it is likely that any attack on him will be reflected at us. The fact that you are only affected by this attack is because you have absolute resistance to the elements. That's why even though the flames reflected at you, they couldn't do any damage." Chi Wuyao analyzed.

"So it's like my Moon Star Restoration technique." Yun Che took out a few herbs from his space storage and popped them into his mouth. They had a healing effect.

"Exactly. But unlike you, he seems to be able to do it rapidly." Chi Wuyao answered his question.
