Wang Xiaolei retracted his leg that hit the bishop's shoulder and placed the corresponding foot on the ground, while his sword-hand curved forward in a sharp arc.
The arc-shaped sword edge swung down, just as the bishop was starting to recover from his half-kneeling position, abruptly turning his body sideways.
The staff he held tightly also followed his turning figure, retreating towards the oblique side.
Swish!
Some gorgeous fabric was sliced, and a piece of bright fabric became visible, falling off the bishop's clothes and fluttering away as it was blown by the sword's momentum.
Tick tock!
Drops of blood splattered from a wound beneath the bishop's torn clothes, quickly leaving a bloodstain on the tabletop as they were stamped on by a sole of a shoe.
At this moment, the bishop had already avoided the disastrous result of falling off the platform through his quick turn, and had circled around to the right side of his opponent.
The angelic illusion does not remain idle.
When the summoner encounters danger, the illusion, endowed with certain intelligence, uses divine power to support attacks.
The pure divine power takes the form of a halo and indiscriminately blasts around as it spreads.
After a moment, a beam of light forms and pierces through space, approaching.
Right before hitting the target, the beam suddenly converges, transforming into a white line that connects both ends of space.
If this surprise attack succeeds, it will certainly save the bishop from danger.
After sensing the incoming elemental light, Wang Xiaolei does not turn back, instead he lightly brushes the air with the palm of his hand.
Immediately, the holy power bursting out from within him transforms into an extremely subtle fluctuation that ripples in all directions around Wang Xiaolei.
Sister Glasses had observed Wang Xiaolei's battles a few days ago, so she couldn't have been clearer about what was about to happen:
Space distorts, and four transparent diamond-shaped mirrors rapidly appear on the stage along with the spreading of the fluctuations.
From far to near, the diamond-shaped mirrors encapsulate Wang Xiaolei's body in an instant;
The transparent mirrors come closer to each other, and the corners connecting the mirrors close in an instant;
The straight lines turn into a bright light, further aiding the overlapping of the four mirrors.
Within the time of a hurried breath, a huge illusory cube envelops Wang Xiaolei's entire body, acting as a barrier on the outside.
At the same time, a tearing white light shoots out from the void and fiercely strikes the surface of the transparent cube.
It's the same as when confronting the Claw Demon.
Even though the white light is just inches away, it could heavily hit the target from behind;
Even though the phantom's surprise attack is just one step away from success, reality is still cruel.
In an instant, the white line flips back against the light, reverting back to its original form as a white beam and shooting out in the opposite direction.
Thud!
After Wang Xiaolei used the rebound effect of the forbidden spell, a huge hole was blasted on the surface of the angel's illusory body.
Although the phantom does not have a physical form, there is still no sign of the enormous gap that pierced through its illusory form closing back up.
The external support effect is minimal, so shortly afterwards, the bishop unavoidably suffers a heavy blow.
He dodges the sword that was swung down at him, but doesn't have enough time to avoid the punch that crashes into him from the front.
The magic power coiling around the end of Wang Xiaolei's fist continues to linger in the form of a black vortex.
The space before the bishop shattered instantly as the punch landed.
A muffled sound of "boom" reverberated.
The fist enveloped in a black vortex appeared as an inexplicable black light from the outside, blasting out explosive noises along with the airflow and air.
At an indescribable speed, the shadow of the punch swept towards the bishop, directly enveloping him, and then ruthlessly struck his chest.
In an instant, the bishop's body suffered a heavy blow and immediately flew backward from where he stood;
Along the way, a long section of the platform that the bishop's shoe soles rubbed against, inevitably burst into countless fragments under the terrifying force of impact;
This caused a naturally formed long and narrow indentation beneath the bishop's feet.
The bishop retreated for tens of meters before finally stabilizing his body in a slightly awkward manner;
At this moment, the bishop felt his blood and Qi surging throughout his body. When he lowered his head to take a look, he realized:
Because of the punch just now, he has been pushed back from one direction of the ring to a completely different direction. His lower leg was also deeply embedded in the indentation about an inch deep beneath his feet.
Objectively speaking, the bishop did give it his all;
This "all" includes not only his own power but also the borrowed power of the angels.
But giving it his all does not necessarily guarantee victory;
Through the battle just now, the bishop could tell that he was still firmly suppressed;
With this kind of fight, winning the ring is impossible, and the plan to marry the queen will never be realized;
Because he was unwilling to give up like this, the bishop decided to go all out and use his final move.
If we understand it in this way:
In the previous battles, the bishop was only exerting his full strength;
But from now on, the bishop began to fight desperately!
He made a gesture, commanding the angel to come closer from far away;
In an instant when the phantom arrived behind the bishop, it twisted itself and turned into a surging white mist, purposefully sweeping out.
The rising white mist mixed with the air and directly entered the bishop's nostrils. In a few breaths, it was completely absorbed into a human body.
In no time, the bishop knelt on the ground with both knees;
The body held by his hands trembled violently, as if it was filled with intense pain from head to toe.
During the time Wang Xiaole stopped to observe, the bishop's skin ripped open little by little;
Blood spread from the appearing wounds, turning into rolling and flowing crimson.
The next second, faint sounds suddenly reached their ears;
Freya in the audience was slightly startled, and then she saw two streams of white light gradually emerging from the two wounds behind the bishop;
As the white lights intersected, two feather-covered wings quickly grew out.
Like the rebirth of the bones, the wings emitted crisp sounds as they extended. They only stopped extending when they reached a length of about two meters.
At this moment, the wounds on the bishop's body also gradually transformed into a scale-like substance;
These substances emitted pure white light, and a white halo slowly circulated, enveloping the bishop's entire body.
The white substances that covered most of the bishop's body resembled a natural armor, fitting perfectly;
The two wings behind him spread out and flapped gracefully. Soon, the bishop's body slowly floated up into the sky;
This scene was like the manifestation of a male angel descending to earth.
"Xiao Le, he has merged with the illusion of an angel. Be careful!"
The fusion Freya shouted from the stage was not a bishop's invention.
During the long years of interaction between the divine and humans, there were a few rare instances.
In those extremely unlikely events, humans killed angels and absorbed their powers, further harnessing divine energy for themselves.
Let's not dwell on the distant past; let's talk about Wang Xiao Le.
Didn't he absorb Freya's power of the goddess as soon as he crossed over to the continent?
Naturally, the level of absorption by the bishop is far from reaching Wang Xiao Le's level.
After all, what the bishop absorbs is merely an illusion projected into the human world, not a true angel.
Based on this, it can be indirectly proven that the "angelization" of the bishop is not permanent and will automatically be lifted after some time.
However, well, there are ways to reverse it other than waiting for the time limit. Taking the initiative is also a strategy to deal with it.
"I don't care if you become an angel or a bird person. The end result will be the same!"
After uttering such a villainous remark, Wang Xiao Le squinted his eyes and looked at the overwhelming wings casting their feathered shadows.
In the next moment, the bishop flapped his wings and spun his body like a whirling vortex.
In the meantime, the bishop's right foot acted like a long whip, ruthlessly kicking towards the target below.
Swish, swish!
Black magic surged and wrapped around Wang Xiao Le's arm, completely covering it in an instant.
The arm, coated in what looked like a layer of black metal, collided with the descending leg whip.
Clang!
As soon as the collision ended, both Wang Xiao Le and the bishop's bodies retreated simultaneously.
In this clash, neither side had the upper hand.
Since the beginning of the match, this was the first time the bishop didn't suffer a disadvantage in a direct confrontation with his opponent.
To explain this phenomenon, it can be attributed to the changes brought about by the fusion of the bishop and the illusion.
The current bishop, including his reaction speed, had improved more than threefold compared to before the fusion.
With the bishop's blow equal to his own, Wang Xiao Le became determined and launched a flurry of attacks.
He began to chant, causing a red line to appear out of thin air.
The space around the red line shattered, transforming into countless fragments.
Instead of dissipating, these fragments gathered around the red line.
At this moment, the red line resembled a raging torrent in the air, sweeping towards the target with a fierce roar.
Faced with a powerful counterattack, Wang Xiao Le's immediate reaction was undoubtedly:
"Looks like I need to take this seriously."
One-tenth of the power is not enough to take down the opponent, so...
I will unleash one-seventh of my power and truly finish him off!
With that thought in mind, Wang Xiao Le suddenly increased the scale of his holy power.
The black longsword had the ability to "convert" all of its own power into magic.
Previously, Wang had been reluctant to use this conversion ability due to an underlying aversion.
From this, it can be seen that Wang is generally unwilling to use magic on a fundamental level.
However, there was no trace of this resistance in Wang's reincarnation, that is, Wang Xiao Le.
The reason why Wang Xiaole wanted to use magic was simply because the light in front of his eyes was too dazzling, and he wanted to dim the brilliance of this place.
With just a breath, the magnificent and awe-inspiring holy power transformed into a massive magic as dark as the night sky.
