Chapter 156

In the face of Athena, Locke knew that he didn’t need to show mercy, so he tried his best to compete with her. He knew that even the most powerful move could not hurt Athena at all.

Bang!

Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce Athena’s throat, Athena’s hand had already slapped on the Sword in the Stone.

A strong force passed through the blade of the Sword in the Stone to Locke’s palm.

All of a sudden, Locke felt that his hand holding the Sword in the Stone was numb, and the Sword in the Stone in his hand was almost thrown away.

The blow failed. Without any hesitation, Locke jumped backwards, intending to keep a distance from Athena. However, he suddenly found that Athena was gone!

At the same time, he felt an extremely dangerous aura coming from behind him.

So fast!

While sighing, the small universe in Locke’s body revolved crazily, and the divine power continued to refine the magic element. At a fast speed, a fire magic shield of level 4 was formed behind him.

Bang!

Athena slapped on the magic shield.

Crack!

Athena’s palm only paused for a moment, and then the magic shield began to crack and then completely broke.

At this time, Locke also turned around and retreated to the distance with the help of the impact. He once again distanced himself from Athena.

After standing firm in the distance, Locke held the Sword in the Stone tightly and didn’t dare to relax a little. He stared at Athena with a serious face.

“Not bad.”

Athena didn’t continue to attack. She looked at Locke who was standing far away in a defensive posture and nodded.

Locke breathed more heavily. He looked at Athena in the distance, who was wearing a calm face, with sweat on his forehead.

Although he avoided Athena’s attack, he knew that Athena didn’t use her full strength at all.

Locke shouted in a low voice, and the Sword in the Stone in his hand suddenly left his hand and directly stabbed at Athena. At the same time, the level-4 magic quickly condensed in his hand.

Athena waved her hand and the Sword in the Stone was thrown away.

On the other side, the magic power in Locke’s hands was also prepared and he threw it towards Athena.

Boom!

The magic exploded in front of Athena, and the huge flame instantly swept half of the practice room.

The wall of the practice room emitted a faint luster, and it was detected that there was a magic attack, so the defensive magic array on the wall began to automatically defend.

After throwing the fire magic, Locke didn’t stop attacking. The wood energy in front of him was gathered, and a vine rose from the ground and instantly wrapped around Athena’s ankle.

At the same time, his hands intertwined, and a stronger magical fluctuation appeared in front of him.

“It seems that Locke is trying to use the big move,” Sleipnir exclaimed.

While it was speaking, the magic power in Locke’s hand had been condensed.

It was a huge spear. The spear was emitting hot flames, and the arrowhead was red.

This was the level-5fire magic, the flame spear sent by Mallory last time.

The scarlet spear had already stabbed towards Athena.

Boom!

Wherever the spear passed, the ground cracked, and even the wall in the distance was affected by the energy. The array textures that were engraved with the magic array began to crack.

“Do you want to demolish this house?” Sleipnir complained. As it spoke, a beam of light came out from its head. The light spread out and formed a light curtain, separating the energy from the wall.

Boom!

Athena was instantly shrouded in the endless fire. The huge fire waves swept through the narrow space, instantly sweeping over everyone and things.

Without Sleipnir’s protection, the villa would have collapsed.

Half a minute later.

The flames in the practice room gradually dissipated.

Locke gasped and sweated on his forehead. He knew he was no match for Athena, so he planned to slow down Athena with vines and then release his strongest attack.

Sure enough, the higher the level of magic, the more difficult it was to use. For example, Locke could release the previous magic of level 1 or level 2 at a glance. It was the first time for him to use level-5 magic, which was somewhat difficult.

At the center of the explosion, where Athena was, the flames finally dissipated.

A thin purple light curtain surrounded Athena, keeping all the harm out of her. As for Athena, she looked calm.

“Yes, the attack is close to a level-6 mage in this world.” Athena waved her hand and the defensive light curtain in front of her disappeared.

The strength gap among the high-level practitioners was more obvious. With some special methods, such as magic releasing skills or fighting skills, a level-1 practitioner might be able to defeat a level-2 practitioner.

However, there was absolutely a huge difference between the strength of practitioners beyond level 6. When he was a low-level practitioner, Locke was able to defeat a practitioner one level or even two levels higher than him by virtue of his small universe. But now, he had just broken through to the middle stage of the seven senses, and his strength was barely comparable to that of a level-6 practitioner.

As she spoke, Athena’s face darkened slightly, and a cold light burst out from her eyes.

Damn it!

Seeing this, Locke’s heart couldn’t help but twitch. After getting along with Athena for so long, she knew that when Athena showed this expression, it meant that she was going to be serious!

Sure enough, the next moment, Athena moved extremely fast and appeared in front of Locke in an instant.

Now it was too late to retreat.

Locke crossed his arms over his chest to resist Athena’s attack.

Bang!

Athena put her hand on Locke’s arm. Under the great impact, Locke’s body was forced to retreat for more than ten meters before he could stabilize himself.

Swoosh!

Locke heaved a sigh of relief and took a move. The moment he took Athena’s attack, he only felt an iron plate smashing on his arms, causing a strong pain.

After the blow, Athena didn’t stop and rushed towards Locke again. She didn’t use any magical power or skills she had learned.

Locke tried to dodge Athena’s attack, but unfortunately, Athena was so fast that he had no choice but to retreat.

Boom!

Locke was slapped against the wall by Athena.

Hiss!

With Sleipnir’s help, Locke was sure that the wall was as hard as black iron!

When he felt a sharp pain in his back, he only felt a blurred vision. When he came to his senses, Athena appeared in front of him again.

Bang!

When Locke was about to run away, he was slapped away by Athena again.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of his body hitting a hard object echoed in the room.

Sleipnir and Thanatos, who had been watching the play aside, looked at Locke in the practice room, who was tortured by Athena. The two of them gasped.

Well, Athena was still the same Athena!

Half an hour later.

Swoosh!

Sleipnir stepped out of the villa and walked cautiously to the place where it often slept. Behind it was Thanatos, who looked cold but still had a lingering fear.

A few seconds later, Athena walked out of the villa. At last, it was Locke who was beaten black and blue and in rags.
