Chapter 520: Appearance

In the same boundless astral realm, another battle was approaching a fever pitch.

When the magical energy reactions of the seven magic towers began to dim, Li Mochen joined forces with Robert, relentlessly pursuing the 'Lionheart Druid' Kito Medici.

Under his manipulation, the 'Sun-Moon-Star Celestial Star Sword', which had undergone its fourth enhancement two months ago, tangled and clashed with the fiery feathers scattered by the demigod griffin. Meanwhile, the druid's animal companion—a bronze dragon only three meters long—was firmly restrained by the dragon vein.

The dragon vein's power was clearly no match for the bronze dragon, a legendary fifth-tier creature. The latter, amplified by the druid's numerous spells, possessed combat strength close to demigod level.

Despite its small size, its body structure was exceptionally sturdy, granting it immense strength, unparalleled speed and defense, and even the ability to manipulate spacetime on a small scale.

Yet the clash between the two mythical dragons was nearly evenly matched.

Li Mochen was continuously channeling the life force he had stolen into the small dragon vein—more precisely, into the biological armor renamed 'Dragon Armor' by its master. This boosted the dragon vein's strength and speed to near-demigod levels, allowing it to confront the bronze dragon head-on.

This filled the dragon vein with fighting spirit. Compared to the forced battles it had endured in the dark world, its current opponent better ignited its innate red dragon instincts for combat and bloodlust.

Fighting alongside its master was especially exhilarating. It made the dragon vein feel 'useful', unlike before when it was cast aside like a mascot or magical pet.

The dragon vein was eager to showcase its abilities, but unfortunately, its combat skills lagged far behind its opponent's. It could only barely hold on, relying on the biological armor's built-in combat intelligence and the ceaseless influx of life force.

Yet amid this demigod-level battle, the dragon vein felt its understanding of 'combat' steadily improving. Many knowledge fragments imprinted into its soul through bloodline awakening were no longer obscure or profound.

Its master had taught it that knowledge comes from practice, and practice tests truth. The dragon vein believed there was no better way to verify and comprehend truth than the present moment.

Two minutes into the fierce fight, the dragon vein began actively coordinating with the biological armor, significantly enhancing its magical source efficiency and allowing it to manipulate void energy more freely.

By then, 'Lionheart Druid' Kito Medici was covered in wounds—mostly cuts from Li Mochen, whose chainsaw sword, paired with Light Demon No. 8, continuously tore flesh from the demigod griffin.

The 'Blood-Eyed Angel' Robert Yvonne had shifted her primary target to the void sorcerer Divi. The latter, sensing trouble, revealed himself and used every void spell to restrain the blood-eyed maid.

But Robert had gained new insights into the essence of wind; her level-29 wind blades now possessed the power to cut through void.

Among the legendary souls bound in the Wind God's Fang were legendary creatures like the 'Void Prince' and 'Astral Pegasus', adept at temporal and void powers.

Amid the intense battle, Robert still diverted some energy to target Kito Medici, making the demigod griffin's situation increasingly dire, on the verge of defeat.

In the distance, 'Judgment Angel' Ilse Medici was struggling against Delphinia's 'Banishment'. Without the demigod void sorcerer's support, she had to exert all her strength to remain in the astral realm.

But it grew ever harder. Even as Ilse effortlessly cast one divine spell after another, along with powerful bloodline abilities, she could not change the outcome.

Under Delphinia's void manipulation, her body was gradually being pulled into the 'Endless Abyss', sinking deeper—a world of countless demons. For Ilse Medici, a sorceress with pure light power and angelic bloodline, it was the abyss of abysses. If she fell in, her chance of survival was less than 10%.

The demon lords, even the abyssal kings, would delight in capturing her and devouring her soul.

Thus Ilse Medici fought desperately, ignoring the screams within her body, unleashing powerful spells one after another in rapid succession.

But most were casually tossed into the dark world by Delphinia or deflected through distorted space.

'Andre, you won't succeed! Mythic Form—'

Kito Medici had seen through Li Mochen's intent, and it filled him with extreme humiliation.

As this top-tier druidic ultimate technique was invoked, the demigod griffin's form began to change. Kito Medici's body swelled, and profound runes appeared on his fiery iron feathers.

But at that instant, the defensive net woven from countless 'fire feathers' let out a loud crack.

'Boom!'

It was Light Demon No. 8's 'Ice Ray', freezing many fiery feathers in the void. Li Mochen's following chainsaw sword 'Demon Slash' broke through Kito Medici's defense, tearing a massive bloody hole in his chest and abdomen.

The wound meant little to a demigod druid with immense vitality. But the powers of life and death, carried by the 'Demon Slash' blade, penetrated deep into his organs and even his soul.

Death force drained his vitality, while life force mutated his flesh, generating huge tumors on the demigod druid's surface that absorbed his dwindling life source. This forced his 'Mythic Form' to end almost as soon as it began.

'Ice Divine Authority—'

Kito Medici's eyes flashed with shock and fury. He had been guarding against this unshown divine authority of Li Mochen's. Yet when it was finally unleashed, it caught him off guard.

His opponent had been waiting for him to use 'Mythic Form', striking fatally when he had no strength left.

After the shock and anger, a somber light appeared in Kito Medici's eyes. He was not despairing, knowing he was not in danger of falling this time, but he realized he had ultimately been outmaneuvered.

The Medici family might suffer another great humiliation in modern times.

Sure enough, the next moment, a powerful magical tide surged across the entire region. As the magical energy tide peaked, a towering twenty-story magic tower, imposing and magnificent, suddenly squeezed into this astral realm. Its magical radiance even pushed the starlight out of this star domain.

Li Mochen's gaze involuntarily turned to it, and a slight smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Just as his 'Star Leap' was ready, a white-haired man, riding a blue dragon wreathed in dreamlike fluorescence, also entered this domain.

His aura was equally vast and majestic, even suppressing the immense magical tide of the twenty-story magic tower.
