Chapter 1864: Variation Revolving Core’s Prowess
Davis’s eyes were wide with astonishment as he saw the ensuing destruction in the middle of the battle stage as spatial cracks appeared a bit before they disappeared, stitching themselves back almost instantaneously.
Sophie, Niera, and Hayou Azureclaw’s prowess had all definitely reached the Ninth Stage from three five-kilometer domains clashing at the same time. However, Davis noticed that Hayou Azureclaw was stronger than Niera in cleaving and lacerating prowess. It was just a bit stronger, but it made up for a ton of difference in their levels as it could cause Niera’s attacks to collapse if it struck her energy at a vital point.
However, Sophie attacked at the same time, so their attack was able to overwhelm him before an earthen wall appeared before Hayou Azureclaw, protecting him from being blasted away.
‘Well, Niera’s flames have yet to become fully golden as she hadn’t obtained the Golden Crow Flames nor its blood essence. Just having its manual isn’t enough to go against a unique physique cultivator with a deadly offensive prowess while having a five-kilometer domain, huh...’
Davis thought before he saw the two groups regaining their balance. However, Sophie and Niera were already preparing to strike again. It could be seen that they still possessed the advantage.
*Whoosh!~*
Hayou Azureclaw rushed towards the other side, launching small yet terrifying claw attacks that seared through the air and lightly tore space to harass them, disallowing from making a big move like before. He could not allow them to store energy and strike together no matter what.
*Whizz!~* *Whizz!~* *Whizz!~*
Thousands of claws like wind strikes were launched at Sophie and Niera by Hayou Azureclaw. Each claw blade possessed the power to split an average High-Level Law Sea Stage Expert.
“Leave it to me.”
Sophie smirked and conjured hundreds of shields that defended against his attacks. Some earthen spheres that were launched at them were also defended by her using hundreds of small shields, large shields, tower shields, and even giant hammers that struck the big boulders into smithereens, using offense as defense.
Some shields even had spears attached behind them as those shields were equipped with stab-through holes that allowed the spear to strike the incoming attacks and destroy them!
With a variety of armaments, Sophie single-handedly defended against the terrifying claw strikes and boulders, allowing Niera to build up enough energy.
“Ravaging Golden Tornado...!”
Niera spun in a diagonal arc using her body when it directly burst into a terrifying swirl of flames that shot towards Hayou Azureclaw, who orbited around them, harassing them. His scalp turned numb upon seeing the swirling waves of funnel-shaped flames blazing towards him.
Even though he was fast, it still curved and followed him, making him change targets.
“Sky Cleaving Claw Strike!”
Without much energy buildup, it was the most powerful instantaneous technique he could use to strike!
*Boom!~*
The emerging Sky Cleaving Claws struck the Ravaging Golden Tornado, whose flames were actually crimson instead of golden as the name implied and caused an immense explosion from the resulting clash, even leaving a spatial crack in its impact.
“Yessss!!!~~~”
The crowd was full of excitement as they stood up and cheered.
Hayou Azureclaw clenched his teeth and saw that they were not attacking his teammate, purely concentrating on him.
Did they want to see what kind of action he would take at the end?
*Booom!~*
A large explosion shook the battle stage as flames and claw strikes winded up together. Cracks appeared in space, but it became quickly healed.
Hayou Azureclaw gasped for breath as he suffered from their attacks all by himself, defending against them with the utmost concentration on his part. He had wasted forty percent of his energy already, and it was the ninth minute, causing him to turn to look at his teammate with wide eyes.
“You...! I protected you!”
Islenn Quars waved his hand as he retreated on receiving that kind of look.
“As if...!” Hayou Azureclaw’s claws began to brighten with yellow-colored energy, “The only thing you were in this place is being a useless piece of trash, unable to help me attack while surviving in the distance because of me.”
*Whoosh!~*
“Wait...! Help, two young misses! Please help me defeat him!”
Islenn Quars instantly put up an earthen barrier combined with his Supreme Domain to defend against Hayou Azureclaw. However, the earthen wall surrounding him was cleaved in half before a green-robed figure appeared before him, his eyes looking sharp while his expression was ruthless.
“You see how you’re lucky to be here now? Just give up. Don’t make me have to do something that might harm your future.”
Islenn Quars trembled as he waited for help to come. Even a slight disturbance from the two young ladies might allow him to escape. However, no help came, causing him to become aghast.
Was he going to lose?
“Too slow!”
Hayou Azureclaw waved his hand and struck against Islenn Quars’s neck, causing the latter’s eyes to dull as it rolled back, feeling like he had died.
“What!?”
The crowd stood in an uproar, thinking that Hayou Azureclaw had beheaded Islenn Quars. However, they saw that Islenn Quars head was still stuck to his neck, causing them to breathe out a sigh of relief.
“Hayou Azureclaw used the brunt of his palm to knock Islenn Quars out...”
“Right, he had only fainted...”
They nodded their heads to each other, looking relieved.
Hayou Azureclaw turned around and saw that Sophie and Niera didn’t interfere with his actions as he expected. They only had a smile on the corner of their eyes, looking like they were amused with his actions.
Feeling insulted, anger swelled within Hayou Azureclaw’s heart. However, he suppressed his anger as he knew that there were only forty seconds left for the battle to end. Taking a defensive posture as he extended his claw gauntlets, his eyes became sharp before he bellowed at them.
“Come!”
