Chapter 338 - 339: The Human Race’s First Victory!
In the Kratosium, Noelle Quinn and the Demonic Qi-infused Slade were locked in an intense battle.
Sword light like snow, blood shadows surging; each collision erupted with a deafening roar.
On the stands, a trace of imperceptible surprise flashed in the cold snake eyes of the Frost Serpent.
This human woman, how could she fight a battle to such an extent against a Demon Clan with power approaching Totem Level?
This talent might be the pinnacle existence among the Human Race.
However, this trace of surprise lasted only for a moment.
No matter how stunning Noelle Quinn’s performance was, it could not change the overall situation.
The key to the Divine Pattern contention this time lay in the confrontation of Totem Level power.
Winning one victory could earn 5 points!
As long as he could win in the Totem Level battle next, it wouldn’t be a problem even if they lost several battles at the Monarch and Totem Levels.
"Worry not, Lord Frost Serpent," a giant Snow Wolf with fur like snow growled obsequiously beside him, "I will surely secure a victory for you in the Half-Step Totem Level battle!"
The Frost Serpent glanced at it indifferently and nodded slightly.
This time, it was determined to win the Divine Pattern.
Having left the Snow Domain, its power could no longer grow.
But....
As long as it fused with the strongest Divine Pattern of humanity, this problem could be easily solved.
Now, looking at the two people on the stage in a stalemate, it spoke faintly:
"Send the strongest Monarch Vicious Beast next!"
"No matter who wins between these two on stage, it will be a tragic victory, with their status reduced to a tenth."
Though this competition relied on strength, there was an element of luck involved.
Since two victories were needed to gain points.
Thus, the order of battles was crucial.
Now, humans and demons were competing.
Even if they won, their status would be significantly poor; then have the Vicious Beast fight them both.
Victory would become incredibly easy.
The Snow Wolf understood this immediately and passed down the Frost Serpent’s order.
On the Demon Clan’s side, several Totem Demon Kings also looked displeased.
Although they had used multiple Monarch Level demons to forcibly elevate this Monarch Level demon’s strength.
However.....
The consequence was this Monarch Level demon’s control over power had severely diminished.
That also led to.....
Despite this human’s strength being far inferior to the Monarch Level demon, but.....
She could rely on a mere sliver of Ice Frost Law to fight back to a standstill.
This said, they weren’t worried about winning this match.
After all, they still had a trump card saved for this competition.
At this moment.
Noelle Quinn once again struck her sword, blocking the demon’s attack, and took the opportunity to pull away.
Gazing at the demon, Noelle Quinn’s expression was somewhat heavy.
Relying on the slight Power of Laws she wielded, she could barely fight this demon to a draw.
However...
As time passed, the Power of Laws she controlled would gradually deplete.
By then....
She could not avoid an inevitable defeat.
"Human, not bad! To have fought me to such a level."
"But, it ends here!"
After saying this, the demon’s Demonic Qi suddenly became violent.
Suddenly, its aura surged.
Fueling the Demonic Qi!
This was the Demon Clan’s desperate measure.
But this could once again enhance a demon’s power.
Upon seeing this.
Zane Drake’s expression shifted.
The hope that rose before was once again shattered.
It was over!
However, he quickly regained his composure and hurriedly reminded:
"Noelle, surrender quickly!"
Noelle Quinn was humanity’s second-best talent, aside from Aster Grant; if she were to fall here....
That would be a massive loss.
Now, it was clear.
Humanity could no longer obtain the third Divine Pattern.
The only thing left was to minimize losses.
However...
Noelle Quinn did not think the same.
Looking at the demon whose aura was nearly doubling, her face showed no expression.
Still as cold as ice, as if this demon before her was already a dead man.
Slade was utterly infuriated by this disregard:
"Stunned into silence? Can’t even run? Then become a part of me!"
He roared, transforming into a cataclysmic blood-colored comet, charging at Noelle Quinn with the momentum of tearing everything apart!
The ground of the stage was plowed into deep furrows wherever it passed!
At this critical moment!
Noelle Quinn moved!
She did not perform any exquisite sword moves but made a completely unexpected action——
She joined her left fingers like a blade and unhesitatingly slashed across her right wrist!
"Slash!"
A crimson line appeared, and hot blood instantly gushed out!
But strangely, the blood did not fall but flowed towards the Snow Glaze Sword before her as if it had life!
In the instant the Snow Glaze Sword touched its master’s blood, it emitted an unprecedented hum!
The blade violently trembled; the previously jade-like sword body was instantly stained with a layer of poignant blood-red!
A terrifying sword aura far colder, more annihilating than before, as if capable of freezing souls, ending all things, shot up from the sword!
Blood Sacrifice to the sword!
This was Noelle Quinn’s trump card!
Using her Original Essence Blood as a trigger to push the Snow Glaze Sword to its limits!
Moreover, the Blood Sacrifice could awaken all the Ice Element Law within the Snow Glaze Sword.
To unleash a realm-transcending ultimate strike!
Yet, the Blood Sacrifice came at a great cost...
Once used, it would damage her foundation, even prevent future cultivation progress!
But now, Noelle Quinn had no other choice!
To fight for the dignity of the Human Race, she decided to wager it all!
"Ice Silence!"
Noelle Quinn’s icy voice resounded through the Kratosium!
She gripped her sword with both hands, pouring all her remaining Power, along with the life-burning, sacrificial Original Essence Blood into the sword.
Then, she slashed toward the blood-colored comet approaching her!
No earth-shattering explosions, nor dazzling lights and shadows.
Only a slender, concentrated to the extreme, blood-colored ice crystal-constructed Pyralia-shaped sword aura silently swept across the sky.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
The imposing blood-colored comet, upon touching the blood-colored Ice Phoenix, seemed to meet its nemesis; all its Demonic Qi, all its violent Energy, were instantly frozen and obliterated by an extreme chill akin to Absolute Zero!
Slade’s ferocious expression froze forever, his massive demon body swiftly covered internally by a layer of resplendent yet deadly blood-colored frost, and then...
Shattered inch by inch!
Turning into countless crystalline ice dust, scattered in the wind!
Not even capable of letting out a single scream!
A demon, whose power through Secret Technique approached Totem Level, perished entirely!
Upon witnessing this scene, the entire Kratosium fell silent.
