"volley!"
With a command from the Valkyrie captain, hundreds of level-three spells rained down on Li Ang from all directions, like a storm.
This attack, in terms of intensity, density, and coordination, far surpassed the scattered fire of the previous city wall guards.
"Hiss hiss hiss—boom boom boom!"
The torrent of magic crashed against the invisible barrier formed by the [Gentle Breeze Domain], unleashing a continuous and violent roar.
The barrier trembled violently, its surface flashing with a blue light that flickered erratically. Some particularly powerful wind blades or lightning spears pierced the barrier several meters before being weakened and eventually neutralized.
Li Ang immediately felt the pressure. Maintaining such a large area of the [Gentle Breeze Domain] was already quite costly, and now, facing the continuous saturation attack of hundreds of level-three spells, the consumption was increasing exponentially.
His mind raced, and he decisively reduced the area of his domain. The barrier, which originally covered an area of several thousand meters, quickly shrank back and eventually stabilized within a range of about one hundred meters around him.
With the reduced range, the defensive strength and energy supply per unit area were greatly improved, and the stability of the barrier immediately improved. However, this also meant that he had given up the buffer space on the outside and exposed himself more directly to the attack.
Just as Li Ang tightened his defenses to deal with the Valkyrie's intense firepower, the Elf King Phoenix in the sky made a move.
He had not participated in the encirclement and attack before, but now he slowly raised the golden trident in his hand and aimed it at Li Ang below.
The golden flames that swirled around the halberd began to flow like a living thing, surging wildly into the golden gem at the tip of the trident.
The gemstone seemed like a bottomless pit, greedily devouring the light and flames. Its color rapidly changed from golden yellow to incandescent white, emitting a terrifying wave of destruction.
A terrifying pressure spread out, and even the Valkyries who were attacking around them subconsciously controlled their Pegasus to move slightly away from the center area.
Phoenix's voice was solemn and cold as he spoke of the "Light of Annihilation" [the Holy Judgment].
The next moment, a beam of light, only as thick as an arm but condensed to the extreme, and displaying a pure, blazing white color, shot out silently from the top of the trident!
Wherever the beam of light passed, space seemed to be scorched with a faint black mark, the light was distorted, and even sound was swallowed up.
Its energy intensity is comparable to that of a level 5 single-target attack spell!
Under the effect of the [Ring of Foresight], the image for the next three seconds clearly shows that the beam of light will accurately hit his chest.
Li Ang's pupils contracted slightly. With his current mobility and precognition, he could easily try to dodge.
But his gaze swept over the edge of the dense forest behind him, where thousands of orcs stood holding their breath, watching nervously.
If he dodges, there's a high probability that this terrifying beam of light will strike directly into the orc formation, with unimaginable consequences.
In a flash, Li Ang made his decision.
Instead of dodging, he pushed the intensity of the [Gentle Breeze Domain] to its limit in the area of his chest, and at the same time, with his mind, the [Guardian Ring LV10]'s effect of increasing his own defense by 100% quietly covered his entire body.
"Buzz!"
The light of annihilation pierced into the [Gentle Breeze Domain] in an instant.
This time, the domain barrier failed to completely deflect or eliminate it. The terrifyingly condensed beam of white light, like a red-hot iron shovel piercing through tough leather, penetrated the layers of wind barriers.
When the beam finally penetrated the field and struck Leon's chest, its power had been reduced by nearly half.
The silvery-white light flashed intensely at the spot where it was hit in the chest, but it ultimately held on.
The blazing white beam of energy exploded at the point of impact, forming terrifying energy ripples that spread outwards, flattening and crystallizing the nearby ground once again, but ultimately failing to break through Li Ang's defenses.
The silver-white giant lowered his head and looked at his chest, where there was no actual damage except for the light being slightly dimmed.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the Elf King in the sky, calm and undisturbed.
"What?" For the first time, a noticeable tremor appeared on Phoenix's usually calm face.
His attack, [Light of Annihilation], though not at full strength, was enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary peak level four being. Yet, the opponent withstood it without a scratch.
This power far exceeded what he knew of the limits that the Titan's Gift could achieve.
Not only Phoenix, but also the surrounding Valkyries, the elven guards below, and even the orc camp all fell into a brief silence.
The sight of him taking a direct hit from the Elf King unscathed was incredibly shocking.
Li Ang didn't give his opponents any more time to be shocked. Taking advantage of the moment when the light of annihilation dissipated and the Valkyries' attacks were slightly delayed due to their astonishment, he waved his wand.
The Storm Sword was unleashed with overwhelming force.
The giant blue-green energy sword, tens of meters long, tore through the air and slashed horizontally towards a relatively dense area of Valkyries in the air with a piercing shriek!
"Scatter!" the Valkyrie captain shouted sharply.
The well-trained Valkyries reacted swiftly, scattering in all directions with a neighing sound. However, the sword strike came too fast and too fiercely, and its coverage was extremely wide.
In an instant, seven or eight Valkyries who were slower to dodge, along with their Pegasus mounts, were struck by the blue-green storm blades. Their golden armor shattered like paper, and their blood bloomed into tragic flowers in the air as they screamed and fell from the sky.
Seeing that the Valkyrie was injured, Phoenix's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he raised his golden trident again, as even more terrifying energy began to gather.
The Valkyries quickly regrouped and launched another offensive, this time even more cunning and ruthless, specifically targeting Li Ang's potentially weak points in his defense, such as his joints and the back of his neck.
After fighting for a while, Li Ang realized that they only targeted him and had no intention of attacking the orcs, so he tightened the [Gentle Breeze Domain] again, finally maintaining it within a 30-meter range. With the help of the [Ring of Foresight], he weaved through, parried, and counterattacked amidst the flying level 3 spells and the deadly beams of light that the Elf King occasionally attacked.
He would sometimes wield his Storm Sword to repel the encirclement, and at other times unleash combined energy to pick off the Elf King.
Although it could no longer be as devastating as before, it managed to fight to a draw for a time thanks to its superior defensive and precognitive abilities.
In the sky, golden light, silver light, and various magical lights intertwined and collided, with explosions ringing out incessantly, and turbulent energy currents sweeping in all directions.
The orcs on the ground watched with bated breath and sweaty palms, witnessing Li Ang fighting a fierce battle against the elite forces of the elves despite being at a complete disadvantage, with golden figures even falling from the sky from time to time.
This boosted their courage immeasurably.
Time flew by in the midst of the fierce battle. Seizing a gap in the Elf King's attack, Li Ang used a composite energy blade to once again shoot down three Valkyries who were trying to launch a sneak attack from the flank.
