Chapter 474 - 257: Monster! Monster!
Faced with the reflected Lightning Arrow, Siegfried remained unflustered as he gently rubbed a ring on his thumb, emblazoned with a lightning symbol.
In the next moment, several currents appeared on the surface of his body, converging on the reflected Lightning Arrow.
The spell contained within the ring was a Fourth Level Spell called "Lightning Protection."
Besides neutralizing other spell energy attacks, Lightning Protection could also gather lightning energy when confronted with lightning spells.
So at this moment, the number of arcs surrounding Siegfried’s body suddenly became denser due to the addition of the Lightning Arrow, and the electric light became even more dazzling.
The next moment!
Siegfried swiftly chanted a spell and pointed at Raine, a concentrated and powerful Lightning Bolt, seemingly bounding dozens of arcs together, blasted directly towards Raine.
Given Siegfried’s position at the top of the banquet hall, he appeared like a divine being commanding the thunder in the sky, his might was astounding!
The power and momentum of this spell were far beyond the previous Third Level Lightning Arrow, jumping past the Fourth Level and reaching the power level of a Fifth Level Spell.
"Not good, Siegfried had anticipated that Lord Raine might reflect the Lightning Arrow!" exclaimed the young mage Damian beside, holding a magic staff.
As a fellow mage, he now understood Siegfried’s meticulous design.
The opponent seemed to have predicted that Raine might reflect the spell and used the reflected Lightning Arrow to not only greatly amplify the spell’s power but also significantly shorten the time needed to gather lightning energy!
This was an attack sufficient to determine the outcome of the battle!
"Ah!" Aaron and the others widened their eyes, clenching their fists as they anxiously watched the scene.
Such a powerful electric current, even with Lord Raine’s remarkable prowess, if hit directly, he would likely suffer serious injury.
Even Laisa, who always had absolute confidence in Raine, was no exception!
"Hah!!"
Almost simultaneously, Raine roared in anger, and as his chest swelled and vibrated, his once dragon venom-corroded armor shattered completely.
His right arm holding the Counterattacker swelled with muscle as he threw the Warhammer at Siegfried with all his might.
"Buzz!"
The high-speed moving silver Warhammer made the air emit a strained buzzing sound!
The crowd was shocked to discover that facing Siegfried’s well-designed strike, Raine did not choose to retreat or use a shield to block, but instead countered with offense.
In an instant!
The mid-air of the banquet hall saw dazzling electric light and silver streaks almost cross each other!
The powerful lightning bolt struck Raine first, causing his hair to stand on end, and his whole body seemed to tremble!
Meanwhile, the Counterattacker, spinning at high speed like a silver meteor, sequentially broke through Siegfried’s magical shield and dark erosion shield.
With a slight remaining force, it struck Siegfried’s abdomen!
Immediately, Siegfried grunted, a trace of fresh blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
However, though slightly injured, Siegfried wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a smile and followed the return trajectory of the silver Warhammer, looking down at Raine, who still had some residual arcs clinging to him.
Although Raine’s flying hammer was more powerful than he anticipated, Siegfried was convinced that Raine’s injuries were much more severe than his.
A Fifth Level Lightning Spell is not easy to withstand!
But just as the smile on Siegfried’s lips reached its highest point.
Suddenly!
His pupils constricted, and his expression froze as if he saw something unbelievable!
In Siegfried’s reflected gaze, the supposedly heavily injured young man slightly bent his knees, assuming a jumping posture, as if unharmed, and with the ground shattering beneath him, surged towards the top of the banquet hall like a cannonball.
"How is this possible?"
"Does he have such high resistance to lightning spells?"
Siegfried’s pupils contracted tightly, unable to fathom it!
But there was no time to think. Siegfried immediately cast "Big Step Sprinting" on himself, leaping through a hole from the third-floor ceiling of the banquet hall, attempting to evade Raine’s pursuit.
Yet, even as Siegfried was still mid-air, Raine, already on the third floor, turned mid-air, kicked against the ceiling with his war boots, and dived down from above, relentless in pursuit!
In terms of physical strength, Raine’s movement speed was much faster than Siegfried’s, which is why he shed the now defenseless power armor through sheer force.
With less weight, he chased Siegfried like a shadow.
...
The sudden shift in the battle dynamics sent Aaron, Laisa, and the others on an emotional rollercoaster.
From initial worry and anxiety to excitement and thrilling surprise.
However, for Lilith, standing by the side door, this emotional journey was less delightful.
Her face turned pale as she muttered to herself, "Even Lord Siegfried is not a match!"
"What should I do?"
"What to do..."
Her two slender, pale legs beneath the red mage robe involuntarily took two steps back.
