Chapter 1569: Shining Ring
Although Maurice generally looked like a very dangerous opponent, she couldn't control the sun flame, which allowed Su Xiao to breathe a sigh of relief.
She had obviously borrowed this power from something rather than possessed it, which made it impossible for her to release this flame without any preparations.
That sun flame was the result of gaining power, and it wasn't something that she could control.
On the third floor of the castle, there was gradually more oxygen, at least now it was possible to breathe.
The floor and walls were red. The interior walls of the third floor had melted and turned into pools of magma, making the third floor seem completely empty right now, but compared to the orange-red color of the walls and floor, Maurice's golden light seemed more dazzling.
Sword in hand, Maurice slowly walked down the stairs and stopped more than 20 meters away from Su Xiao. She wasn't a melee fighter, or rather, she wasn't a melee fighter yet.
— Melody, I'll give you one last chance. Tell me where she is, " said Maurice. She still wanted to know where her family heirloom was, otherwise, even with Kaya's protection, Melody wouldn't be able to stay alive.
Melody looked at Su Xiao and then looked at Maurice. Both of them were not easy to deal with, so she made one of the most sensible decisions.
— I gave it away... Holy Healing Church, " Melody said, and looked at Maurice with a smile on her face.
Maurice always had a gentle smile on her face, but when she heard Melody's answer, the smile disappeared from her face.
— In that case...
— Moo-oo-oo-oo!
Before Morisa could say anything, Amu, who was covered in wounds, roared angrily. As a high-level alchemy creature created by Su Xiao, Amu inherited Su Xiao's beautiful tradition of never saying too much when it was time to jump into action.
Holding his war hammer, Amu rushed towards Maurice.
When he stepped on a red floor, it would immediately be covered in frost.
With each step, he moved faster and faster.
Seeing this, Morisa pressed her sword to her body and a golden light flashed in her eyes.
— The Shining Ring, " she said, and swung her sword.
Gold rings immediately appeared around her, thirty in all. Each of these rings was under four meters in size and had very sharp edges.
When she swung her sword, thirty of these rings immediately rushed forward.
Due to the fact that they were composed of light, these rings were extremely fast.
Each of these rings was almost four meters in diameter, and what was even more frustrating was that Maurice could apparently control the flight path of these rings.
*Poof-poof...*
One by one, the rings began to strike Amu.
In just a moment, four of the rings hit his hands and shattered, but the fifth one was able to sink into Amu's chest.
Although these rings all had terrifying attack power, Amu's defense couldn't be underestimated.
With a whoosh, the fifth ring sliced through Amu's chest. He immediately staggered back a few steps. Blood began to gush out from his chest, and through this wound, one could even clearly see the alchemy circle in his chest.
The sixth ring immediately shot towards Amu's neck. Each of the rings gradually accelerated as they flew, and eventually each of them began to leave behind a trail of afterimages.
Su Xiao appeared out of nowhere in front of Amu, Qing Gang Yin's energy immediately enveloped his sword and he struck at the incoming ring of light.
With a crunching sound, it exploded and shattered into light particles. Su Xiao, on the other hand, grabbed Amu's shoulder and threw him towards the third floor exit. Bubtney appeared at the exit and immediately picked up Ama and carried her to the second floor.
Under normal circumstances, even though Morisa had become extremely strong, she would not have been able to kill Amu so quickly, as his bloodline and body allowed him to have truly outstanding vitality.
But now, unfortunately, Maurice could be called a tank killer, and these rings were her main weapon.
These rings were very dangerous in themselves, and when combined with Maurice's control and skills, they were truly deadly weapons.
If four of these rings hit a single target, then that target will start taking three times more damage from the light element. If before 4 hits the attack power of these rings, conditionally, was equal to 5, then after four hits it will be equal to 15, but taking into account all the introductory ones, the attack power of these rings may well reach 50 units..
After all, if the target started taking three times the damage from the light element, it meant that its rings would start piercing the target's armor three times better, and that alone was already a very serious boost.
Any tank that collides with Maurice will be killed in the first seconds of combat by her rings. Even the best Rank 4 tank won't be able to stand up to such rings.
To stop such an opponent, one didn't need to block their attacks, but rather avoid them.
Amu left the third floor, and Bubtney quickly returned and waited for the moment. The huntress was hiding on the stairs that led from the third floor to the second floor, and was ready to shoot arrows at any moment. As for the priests, they were currently recovering their mana.
Although Amu couldn't continue to participate in the battle, he could guard the passage to the second floor so that no witch could suddenly attack Su Xiao in the back.
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Particles of light began to fly around the third floor. Su Xiao started smashing Maurice's rings into pieces. Because of his special physique, he wasn't afraid of the light element overload happening in his body at all, and even without his unique physique, he didn't have to be afraid of this overload since he had Qing Gang Yin energy in his body.
With a whoosh, a ring of light flew past Su Xiao.
After piercing it, he forcibly changed its direction and sent this ring straight at Maurice.
Maurice raised her sword and the ring flying at her immediately shattered, after which all the particles of light began to fly into her body.
— It seems that the Holy Healing Church has developed some strange technology to create unusual witch hunters, " Maurice muttered, looking at Su Xiao with interest before shaking her head. "Mortals will always be mortals. Even after gaining power they would still be at their limit.
Su Xiao didn't react at all, and Bubtny rolled his eyes, clearly wanting to say ," I hope you can say the same thing when you're chopped into pieces».
Rings of light began to appear and float around Maurice.
She created the maximum number of rings she could control.
All those rings made it hard to get close to her. Dragon Flash wasn't effective in this situation, and it was impossible to use Absolute Blade Flash right now, he only had to use this ability at the most critical moment, because if he couldn't kill her with this strike, he would die himself.
Each time, Maurice sent out three to five rings to attack. Su Xiao tried to break through her defenses several times, but the power of these rings couldn't be ignored.
After several attempts, he realized that there was nothing he could do about Maurice right now.
Maurice herself was frowning now. She couldn't understand why the light couldn't enter Su Xiao's body. Even though her rings were broken into pieces, the light elements that remained after these rings were able to passively enter the human body. Sooner or later, it would eventually lead to overload, and because of it, the next ring would already teach her opponent a bloody lesson.
