Chapter 493 The Sword Of Roland
Chapter 493 The Sword Of Roland
Even though Silvius had other techniques on hand, his trump card was the Creation Gem. Now that it had been damaged, he was no longer keen on battle. Instead, he was curious to see how powerful Mona truly was.
Meanwhile, Jonathan's ego was boosted after defeating Silvius. He now felt the urge to challenge Mona to see if he could beat her.
The vast blue sky looked gorgeous with the morning sun shining brightly in the center.
Jonathan leaped into the air and faced off with Mona.
As for Silvius, he was hiding right behind her back. Mona, not one for idle chatter, gave Jonathan an icy stare before launching her attack upon him.
With a wave of her hand, she attempted to grab Jonathan with Five Element Palm, a technique the latter had seen the day before.
It was so powerful that many magic items were powerless against it.
At that moment, five kinds of elemental energy culminated together to form a giant palm that reached out to seize Jonathan.
All he could see was darkness as the giant palm blocked off the sky like a mountain tumbling upon him, leaving him no chance of escape.
Without a moment's hesitation, Jonathan unleashed Stormwind Fist, firing a ball of raging energy
forward.
As the two powerful attacks smashed into each other, a loud rumble rang out from the ensuing explosion.
All of a sudden, Five Element Palm disintegrated into thin air alongside Stormwind Fist.
The sight unsettled Mona slightly, for she hadn't expected Jonathan to be capable of neutralizing Five Element Palm.
As Five Element Palm contained the five elements of nature, it was extremely difficult to overcome.
What Mona didn't realize was that Jonathan's Stormwind Fist was not just comprised of the five elements but also tinged with dark elements. Their combination had created chaotic energy.
The purest form of chaotic energy in the world was capable of tearing apart the energy of the five elements.
This was consistent with the law of equilibrium in the universe.
Originally, Jonathan's cultivation level was indeed insufficient to subdue Five Element Palm. However, he managed to draw upon the power of chaotic energy for help.
As chaotic energy was born out of overwhelming powers meshed together, it was the world's rarest and most powerful form of energy.
Meanwhile, Jonathan didn't stop after negating Five Element Palm. Taking a step forward, he appeared
right in front of Mona in a flash.
Thereafter, he grabbed Mona's throat with Dragon Claw, one of his most brutal techniques.
All of a sudden, Mona disappeared in a flash of light, causing Jonathan to grasp nothing but thin air.
The next moment, she appeared right behind him, causing him to turn around abruptly to face her.
In his desperation, he unleashed Ice Frost.
As a divine spirit, Mona was essentially a soul with no physical body.
Those without one possessed few weaknesses. On top of that, Mona took to Moranta like a fish to water, for she could draw upon the endless supply of five elements in the air, giving her the ability to unleash overwhelming power.
That was in contrast to a soul living in the main world, which was filled with elements that were detrimental to its existence such as polluted air, charged molecules, Heavenly Law, etc.
Moranta was consequently like heaven to them.
Obviously, it was hard for humans to be separated from their physical bodies regardless of how powerful their souls were.
After all, their bodies were a medium for them to interact with the external world.
Deep down, Jonathan knew that Mona's physical body wasn't afraid of positive energy. That was the reason why his attacks failed to deal the primordial spirit any damage despite the raging power they carried.
Since physical attacks are ineffective against her, I'll use magic instead!
With that, Mona's physical body was quickly frozen by Ice Frost which contained chaotic energy that was imbued with the powerful spirit of Destino Art. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
By embedding the spirit within the technique, Jonathan could significantly enhance its devastating impact.
Just as expected, Mona could no longer transform after that.
The fact that he had managed to freeze Mona brought Jonathan a sense of unease, for it wasn't logical for a deity's primordial spirit to be so easily restrained.
Nonetheless, Jonathan couldn't care less about it then. Arms folded, he let out an earth-shattering roar as he furiously tore apart the elemental energies surrounding him.
“Argh! Furnace of the heavens and the earth, Soul Vortex!”
All of a sudden, a furnace that looked like a black hole emerged and sucked Mona into it. Just as its overwhelming power was about to tear Mona into shreds, an icy glint flashed across her eyes.
As she opened her eyes suddenly, the ice that encapsulated her shattered.
She then opened a dimensional portal with a wave of her hand and escaped Soul Vortex by jumping through it.
Before Jonathan had the chance to react, she pointed her finger at him and cast Dark Prison.
Jonathan's vision suddenly turned black as darkness closed in on him from every direction. He was then sealed in a dark prison that was two square meters big and shrinking rapidly, squeezing him inside.
Despite his shock, he understood that the dark prison was another mysterious pocket dimension.
When he recalled how Creation Gem dispelled Blood Demon Seed, he unleashed the next level of Flaming Sword without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, countless rays of light and fiery flames combined into light swords that were filled with murderous intent.
The countless light swords swarmed forward with unparalleled ferocity.
Crack!
The prison was smote into pieces.
Jonathan had negated Dark Prison with his own magic, a development that Mona and Silvius didn't believe possible.
The tremendous progress and strength Jonathan displayed had caught them by surprise. When Silvius
was trapped in Dark Prison earlier, he had only escaped by using Creation Gem.
“Time to die!” Jonathan roared as he conjured up a giant palm with chaotic energy.
This giant palm was a technique minted by him in an instant—Sky-Shattering Palm. It carried a sense of fearlessness that one possessed when challenging the gods and the brazenness of grasping the world in one's hands.
The next instant, it swallowed Mona within its grasp.
Cognizant of its power, Mona opened another dimensional portal as her expression slightly changed.
“D*mn it!” Once again, Jonathan grasped nothing but thin air.
After fleeing through the dimensional portal, a grim look descended upon her face. With Silvius around, she felt humiliated over the fact that she couldn't defeat a lowly enemy despite being a deity.
If I don't do something about that strange portal of hers, no amount of techniques will help me defeat her. Jonathan was filled with frustration after Mona easily avoided his attacks time and again by using dimensional portals.
Once again, he unleashed Sky-Shattering Palm. The powerful chaotic energy within him gave him an endless supply of spiritual energy, allowing him to unleash devastating techniques without tiring. It was a feat that would elicit awe from anyone watching.
However, Mona had no such thoughts when faced with Sky-Shattering Palm. She had used dimensional portals to slip away due to their ease, not because she had no other way of countering it.
Nonetheless, Jonathan's uniqueness wasn't lost upon her. Given how talented he is, I have to get rid of him as soon as possible. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a huge problem.
The moment Mona emerged from the dimensional portal, Jonathan pulled out Blood Demon Seed.
In that instant, the pocket dimension of Blood Demon Seed encapsulated the dimensional portal within it.
With that, the dimensional portal appeared on the bar street of Horington.
Even though the street was wrought with devastation, many bystanders had come to see the dimensional portal that had appeared in the middle of it.
At the same time, countless police cars arrived to lock down the scene.
Despite being a pocket dimension, it was still a world where the process of cause and effect was being played out.
“D*mn it!” Mona's eyes narrowed as she attempted to extract the dimensional portal from within.
Sensing the change in the dimensional portal, Jonathan realized that it was attempting to swallow his pocket dimension and turn it into its own.
As that realization dawned upon him, Jonathan quickly produced another pocket dimension.
The dimensional portal subsequently moved rapidly within it. Appearing on the highway one moment
before emerging in the middle of the ocean and then Yaleview next. In the end, it reappeared once more in Lostaria.
However, regardless of where the dimensional portal traveled, Jonathan would confine it inside the pocket dimension.
Truth be told, it was all due to Jonathan's wide worldview. Otherwise, his mind wouldn't be able to keep up with the dimensional portal's changes and would've allowed it to escape.
Now that the dimensional portal was sealed, Jonathan seized Mona immediately with Sky-Shattering Palm.
“How dare you!” Detecting the vitality and energy Sky-Shattering Palm was imbued with, Mona turned into a flash of light and escaped.
Puppet body!
Jonathan was stunned, as he could feel that he had killed Mona with Sky-Shattering Palm. The truth was, she had already escaped.
It was then that he realized he had only crushed a puppet body of Mona's.
Within the Holy Scripture, it was written that Mona had a hundred puppet bodies which she could deploy in desperate situations.
“You despicable mortal. You have now managed to piss me off!” Mona's beautiful face had contorted in rage.
“You should just die!” Without holding back, Jonathan charged forward and unleashed Sky-Shattering Palm again.
Meanwhile, the rapid firing of powerful techniques had finally taken a toll on his vitality. He knew that he had to end the battle fast. At the same time, his self-confidence was at an all-time high.
Watching from the side, Silvius felt a chill down his spine as he murmured under his breath, “The fact that his physical body contains so much power is truly terrifying.”
This time, Mona didn't use her puppet body against Sky-Shattering Palm. Instead, she let out a snort and pulled out a long green sword with a glint in her eyes.
The sword was exceptionally sharp, and its sudden appearance covered the surroundings with a green hue.
“Roland's Sword!” Silvius couldn't help but turn pale at the sight of it.
All of a sudden, Mona fired out a light sword with a slash.
The attack flew forward and smashed Sky-Shattering Palm into pieces upon contact.
Thereafter, the light sword progressed in Jonathan's direction, undeterred.
In that instant, Jonathan and Silvius had the same epiphany.
The reason Jonathan could draw out the battle wasn't that he was a match for Mona.
Instead, she had been holding back all this while because capturing him alive had been her objective.
