The Creators: From Night City

Page 370

The ground within a radius of tens of meters was trampled into dust by this 'war trampling'.

The excruciating pain in his toe caused Diablo's face to flush red. His magic surged, and he unleashed a burst of infernal flames in all directions, attempting to break through Jiang Bing's close-quarters attack.

However, this method of clearing maps and mowing grass is useless against Jiang Bing.

Despite having his protective aura stripped away by the flames of purgatory, Jiang Bing thrust his longsword directly into the instep of the foot that his opponent had just slammed into the ground. In return for taking a blow from the opponent's claws on his shoulder and back, he delivered a groin-striking knee strike between the Demon King's legs.

Both sides used the force of each other's attacks to retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the man and the demon completed their first exchange.

“Despicable!” Diablo roared.

Jiang Bing responded with a flaming spear.

The molten metal was barely bound into the shape of a spear, but the moment it came into contact with Diablo's hard bone armor, it turned into molten iron and splattered all over his face.

A magical version of "sprinkling lime".

But as the King of Fear, Diablo always has a few signature skills.

Its eyes emitted a blinding red light, stunning Jiang Bing like a flashbang, while its over five-meter-tall form silently merged into the pervasive fog of fear that had somehow spread.

The black mist swirled endlessly like a storm, and when Diablo reappeared, he was already close to Heimul, who was holding up the World Stone.

He only wants the Worldstone; killing is not his first choice.

But before He could even step onto the wide wooden steps, a golden spear of light was thrust directly into His face.

The next moment, the Archangel of Courage crashed down from the sky, the shockwave pushing Diablo away.

Angels enjoy watching the show, but only if the Worldstone is not tainted by Hell.

The Archangel of Courage drew his spear and instantly transformed into a streak of light, rushing up the steps. Diablo, not to be outdone, transformed into black mist and followed closely behind.

The Archangel of Fate, wielding the Rope of Hope, swooped down from the heavens in an attempt to disrupt Diablo's charge, but was instantly struck down by a bone spike spewed out by Duriel, the Lord of Pain.

Upon seeing this, the angels who had been arrayed in the sky immediately swooped down with their spears and halberds, launching a siege against Duriel. Meanwhile, the demons, already displeased with their old nemesis, the angels, launched a retaliatory counterattack.

In an instant, the entire summit of Mount Arreat was thrown into chaos.

Holy light missiles rained down from the sky, crashing down on the demon forces on the ground, while the demons unleashed a barrage of ranged attacks that flew into the sky.

Some of the demons with the ability to fly took off and fought with the angels in the sky. Every now and then, an angel was pulled by a demon and fell to the ground.

The angels, using their high mobility from flight, darted past and tore apart the demons' bodies. However, the demons, in turn, used spider webs, sticky phlegm, bone prisons, blood explosions, and even frost novae to pull any angels who dared to approach from the sky.

The two sides have been locked in an eternal war for countless centuries, and they have become far too familiar with each other.

This led to both sides employing different fighting styles, resulting in a fierce battle that began immediately.

Meanwhile, the culprit Jiang Bing had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak up to Heiml's feet, and sure enough, he found the Archangel of Courage and Diablo locked in battle, which had been blocked by Bul-Kathos.

Chaos was something he was happy to see, so Jiang Bing didn't say a word. He raised his newly forged, three-meter-long giant sword and delivered a powerful flying grass strike to Diablo's back, severing two of his thick bone spikes. Then, he kicked Imperius in the groin, sending the 'golden' archangel sprawling face-first into the dust.

The chaotic battle suddenly became even more exciting.

Chapter 761 Fighting to the Point of Madness

Above, Heaven and Hell opened portals to Sanctuary, continuously spewing out reinforcements. However, neither had time to pay attention to Heiml and the Worldstone, and they immediately clashed with their nemesis upon landing.

Diablo, however, wanted to get close to the Worldstone, but the Archangel of Courage, Imperius, kept a close eye on him.

After all, Jiang Bing obtained the World Stone but didn't seem to know how to use it, while Diablo had obtained the World Stone more than once during the long Eternal War, and each time he was able to unleash its powerful energy.

Jiang Bingze seemed to have forgotten that he could use the power of the Worldstone, and focused on using Bul-Kathos as a troublemaker, relentlessly beating up the angels and demons indiscriminately.

The summit of Mount Arreat was almost flattened by this sudden and chaotic battle.

Until one instant, the Worldstone suddenly trembled softly.

An invisible panic spread through the hearts of all the angels and demons present. Both sides on the battlefield suddenly discovered that the repulsive force of Sanctuary against them had increased by more than a hundredfold.

In just a few breaths, the weakest demons and angels closest to the Worldstone were forcibly expelled from the territory.

The world barrier that had been breached by Heaven and Hell began to heal rapidly.

"It's you!" Imperius and Diablo were instantly enraged.

Beside the Worldstone, Rasmar, who had been hiding since the start of the war, finally appeared.

He was so weak that he could barely stand, but he still leaned on a cane with one hand and pressed the other firmly against the Worldstone.

The angels and demons made a grave mistake. They were captivated by Jiang Bing's stunning entrance and distracted by each other and their own arrogance, neglecting Rathma's ability to control the Worldstone, the first Nephalem in history.

It's worth noting that Uldysian was once able to unleash the power to instantly drive all angels and demons out of Sanctuary with the help of the Worldstone. While Rasmar may not be as powerful as Uldysian in this regard, it is not difficult for him to secretly refine the existing rules within the Worldstone.

He doesn't need to permanently keep the angels and demons out; he only needs to weather this invasion crisis and wait until Heimul's roots have completely entangled the Sanctuary. Then, the angels and demons will face a world protected by the Great Tree.

They can still break through the barrier, but finding the coordinates of the Sanctuary again is an incredibly difficult task.

The only thing that could temporarily unite these two formidable enemies is another common formidable foe.

Enraged, Imperius abandoned the battle and flew headlong towards the high platform, with Diablo, who had turned into red mist, beside him.

However, a giant sword sent Diablo flying. Jiang Bing, as if children were fighting, grabbed the wings of light on the back of the Archangel of Courage with his free hand and slammed him into the square.

boom!

The earth cracked open, and Imperius's roar, accompanied by Diablo's howl, seemed to slow down the entire world.

The Dreadlord was running on the ground like a hound, charging towards the platform at lightning speed, completely disregarding the potential attacks and his own image, acting like a mad dog.

Imperius soared into the sky amidst a shockwave like a nuclear explosion, endless light shining through the gaps in his golden armor, while his wings shone brightly.

He temporarily and completely unleashed his form, transforming into a giant humanoid ball of light, holding a long spear, and flew towards the high platform like a rainbow piercing the sun.

One is a god, the other a demon; one is in heaven, the other on earth; one is above, the other below. How can Jiang Bing possibly intercept them?

The answer is that you can always trust Burkeso.

This dead man will show Jiang Bing today what a true barbarian is.

Before the Lord of Terror could even reach the edge of the platform, Bul-Kathos roared as his towering figure charged out from the side.

The man and the demon collided like bulls locked in a head-on collision, creating a deafening sound.

The hard rocks on the mountaintop, weathered by wind and snow for thousands of years, shattered in an instant. Burkaso's feet sank deep into the ground, and he slid backward for dozens of meters against the impact of Diablo, finally coming to a stop.

The horn on the head of the Dreadlord pierced deeply into his chest, only to be met with the 'Immortal King's' boisterous laughter and frenzied hammer blows and knee strikes.

Diablo was four or five meters tall, more than twice the height of Bulkaso, but despite such a large size difference, he was still pinned to the spot and punched by his opponent.

His counterattack, the slash of his claws, could only scrape away a large amount of emerald green soul energy from his opponent. This energy was the magic that sustained Bul-Kathos's ghostly activities in the mortal world, and to some extent, the life essence of Rasmar.

The best ending for a warrior is to fight to the death, never giving up.

Jiang Bing's principle when fighting is to take life and death lightly and fight if you disagree.

The inhabitants of Night City possess a mysterious disdain for life and death, a disdain that permeates the thoughts, actions, lives, and battles of every Night City resident.

Perhaps because everyone was living a life worse than death, they didn't care much about living. So, during battles, neither gang members, cleaners, nor even NCPD members valued their lives that much.

Jiang Bing's fighting style was deeply influenced by this.

Faced with the Archangel of Courage's clearly powerful 'Dragon Chariot Charge', Jiang Bingping, wielding his greatsword, jumped up without hesitation and, surrounded by endless flames, rushed forward to meet it head-on.

The situation at this moment is strikingly similar to a scene in Michelangelo's fresco "The Creation of Adam".

But what the two offered were not fingers, but guns and swords brimming with deadly energy.

boom!!

A massive sonic boom erupted from the summit of Mount Arreat, and the energy shockwave from the collision of the two forces swept countless rocks off the cliff, drawing the attention of everyone present.

The ending was so tragic that even the angels could not believe it.

Imperius's charge, a perfect blend of man and weapon, was blocked by Jiang Bing's body. As a large amount of golden blood splattered, the enormous sword pierced through the body of the Archangel of Courage.

"It really hurts!" Jiang Bing's face twitched as he felt the violent yet pure light raging through his body, yet he managed a wistful smile.

Imperius, also burning from the etheric fire, groaned incessantly and flapped its wings, trying to break free, but unexpectedly, Jiang Bing's empty hand gripped its shoulder tightly.

Just as he was about to embrace his beloved, Jiang Bing completely disregarded the spear plunging deeper and deeper into his body, and used his arms to tightly hold the Archangel of Courage.

The Ether Furnace roared wildly, and endless flames erupted from Jiang Bing's chest, enveloping the two of them.

Chapter 762 A Premeditated Plan

The sheer volume of ether was being burned at a rate that would make Jiang Bing's heart ache and unable to breathe, while the pure light within the Archangel of Courage was melting away madly.

Andariel's death was carried out by Jiang Bing using the same old trick.

However, the Archangel of Courage's reputation is not unfounded. As the strongest force in Heaven, His power is not something that a lesser demon god in Hell can easily rival.

His soul was not ignited by the etheric fire beforehand, so Jiang Bing's "mutual destruction" tactic was not very effective against him.

Imperius immediately forced open the arms that were embracing him. The heavily injured archangel did not hesitate for a moment and dragged his body to the side to break free from Jiang Bing's grip.

You should know that at this moment, He has already been pierced through the body by the giant sword in Jiang Bing's hand. The consequence of doing so is that the giant sword will directly cut open most of his chest horizontally.

Sacrificing the pawn to save the king – Imprez's decisive action was swift and decisive.

Like a faint starlight, light continued to emanate from the wounds in His torn armor, but the Archangel of Courage, despite his severe injuries, retreated and, with a swift, swift motion, pulled the spear that was embedded in Jiang Bing's chest. The incredibly sharp spear tip, following His momentum, slashed a similarly horrific wound into the opponent's body.

Jiang Bing did not pursue. He had already taken a full combo from his opponent, which was enough to seriously injure him.

Fortunately, as long as there was enough ether, the [Ether Furnace] was operating like crazy, rapidly [forging] Jiang Bing's new body.

He leaned on his sword with difficulty, while the [Ether Furnace] on his chest shone like the sun, gradually healing the wounds where energy mixed with flesh and blood.

More importantly, his original power is also recovering rapidly.

He had the upper hand in the battle against his opponent, but the situation on the other side was not ideal.

Bul-Kathos eventually burned out all the magic within him, unwillingly turning into nothingness. Diablo, now free from obstacles, suffered some superficial wounds, but the road ahead remained clear.

Imperius was seriously injured and intercepted by Jiang Bing at a distance, while Jiang Bing himself was also seriously injured and his movements were restricted.

With no further obstacles, Diablo, like a mad dog let loose, began to race toward the Worldstone.

Until a shimmering white light descended from the sky, Archangel Auriel, under the protection of the angels around him, broke free from Duriel's clutches and used the rope that had whipped countless demons to bind Diablo's legs.

However, His power was no match for it, and He could only be dragged forward by the King of Fear.

Imperius made his decision in the blink of an eye.

Preventing the demons from obtaining the Worldstone is more important than not obtaining it.

So He dragged His broken body and raised His spear once more.

This spear, seemingly forged from light, is called the Valiant Spear Solarian. It is considered one of the most destructive divine weapons in the High Heavens, and legend has it that it was forged in the core of a dying star, possessing indestructible power.

This powerful artifact was currently being held horizontally in front of Imperius.

The wings of light that danced like flames behind him suddenly dimmed. Despite his severe injuries and the growing dimensional repulsion, the Archangel of Courage poured all his remaining power into his spear, making Solarion the most dazzling presence on the battlefield in an instant.

As a faint light, like the blood of an angel, continued to emanate from the wound on his chest, Imperius slowly but resolutely opened his arms toward the direction of the Worldstone.

He wanted to destroy the stone and eliminate any future trouble.

"No, no!" Diablo struggled frantically to break free of the Ropes of Hope, but as the symbiotic artifact of the Archangel of Hope, it was not so easy to break free.

So He could only watch helplessly as the other threw the spear in his hand, which turned into a golden meteor and flew towards the Worldstone.

Jiang Bing did not stop him. In fact, even the most powerful warrior in Heaven could not easily stop such a desperate attack, let alone the fact that he was still in the recovery phase.

Meanwhile, Rasmar, standing beside the Worldstone, was also on the verge of collapse due to Bul-Kathos's passing and his frantic efforts to activate the Worldstone, so it seemed that there were no obstacles in front of Solarion.

The destruction of the Worldstone seems inevitable.

But Jiang Bing suddenly flashed a knowing smile.

The giant tree supporting the World Stone suddenly began to stir.

Numerous branches moved wildly, blocking Solarion's flight path and acting as a speed bump.

Heimul, the 'Great Oak' that followed Jiang Bing but hadn't really made a move, finally began to show its true colors. You have to understand, as an existence capable of supporting a plane, how could it possibly be a simple, seemingly harmless giant plant?

Even though it is not yet fully grown, its branches are already strong enough to survive in the void.

Faced with Imperius's spear, He simply extended a few tendrils and successfully blocked it.

At the same time, the World Stone, which had always been openly exposed to everyone, was suddenly wrapped up in layers of countless roots and vines, as if it had been placed in the safest vault in the world, and dragged into the mountainside by Heimul, where it was hidden inside the tree trunk.
