Chapter 1034 Nightingale's Battle

Chapter 1034 Nightingale's Battle　　Although Leon had brought Nightingale to the abyss to assist him in defeating a powerful foe, Nightingale was honored and grateful for the opportunity.

Roar!

Nightingale fired a massive ball of dark flames down the abyss, wiping out the thousands among thousands of infant abominations within its path.

Boom!

Nightingale heavily landed on the bottom of the abyss with her huge earth dragon body, shaking the ground and attracting the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's attention.

But despite her immense weight and momentum, the ground between her only sank slightly from being dented. No cracks or substantial damage was inflicted to the ground.

The ground was unexpectedly firm and durable; it seemed to be made of some special alloy.

Apart from the special metallic ground, there were mountains of infant abomination corpses around her that may have numbered in the millions. Furthermore, the putrid smell was ten times more intense.

A person with a weak stomach would have vomited at once.

Nevertheless, Nightingale quickly locked onto her target, the Celestial-level Cruel Angel, with only a slight frown. The complete darkness did not affect a creature of the dark attribute like her.

"You must be my opponent," Nightingale uttered coolly while puffing up her upper body to seem a bit bigger.

However, she was still small in comparison to the Celestial-level Cruel Angel.

Skreee!

The Celestial-level Cruel Angel made a piercing scream and flaunted its own upper body as if it understood Nightingale's declaration of challenge.

In the next moment, the Celestial-level Cruel Angel made a sudden swipe at Nightingale without warning, sending her body crashing into the rocky walls a few miles away.

Cracks spread along the rocky wall in an instant before huge chunks of earth broke off from the cracked wall and dropped to the ground.

Evidently, the walls in the bottom of the abyss were not as tough as the metallic ground.

"How impatient," Nightingale casually spat, but her gaze full of battle spirit intensified.

Although Nightingale received the full brunt of the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's sneak attack, she was perfectly fine. The defensive strength of a Divine Beast-level Earth Dragon was no joke.

"Let's play!"

Boom!

Nightingale catapulted back towards the Celestial-level Cruel Angel with an incredible burst of speed, closing the gap in no time.

Dark Fire Breath!

The ball of dark flames was fired, obstructing the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's vision as Nightingale flashed around to the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's side despite her huge body.

As the Celestial-level Cruel Angel swiped at the ball of dark flames and saw nothing behind it, Nightingale the Celestial-level Cruel Angel with a powerful headbutt.

Bang!

The Celestial-level Cruel Angel's massive body was also sent crashing into the rocky walls a few miles away.

Even if it was much bigger than Nightingale, the Celestial-level Cruel Angel's strength wasn't necessarily higher. In fact, it was Nightingale's strength that was higher.

…

As Nightingale and Celestial-level Cruel Angel's battle commenced, shaking the deeper parts of the abyss, Leon slowly descended from the surface level like a sun, shining very brightly and illuminating the surrounding space.

Tens of thousands of infant abominations rushed into Leon's fire barrier like moths drawn to the flame and burned themselves into crisps and black ashes.

Nevertheless, the infant abominations didn't stop pouring out of the caves in the walls and targeting him endlessly.

Although the infant abomination's origin was a mystery, Leon didn't intend to dig up the truth at that moment.

He continued his descent and made his way to Nightingale. He had to deal with the Celestial-level Cruel Angel first.

…

Meanwhile, on the surface level, Cindertail and the others felt the shakes from the battle in the depths of the abyss. It was far more intense after Nightingale arrived.

Although none of them could personally see the battle, they did not doubt that it was an earth-shaking battle of unprecedented magnitude.

It was a level of battle beyond Paragons.

"It's like a battle of gods down there… I wonder when we could also reach such a level…" Goldblazer uttered with a distant look.

They had always been stuck at Peak Paragon, never advancing further. Not even half a step.

They could only dream of such a level.

"If you all swear your allegiance to my master and receive his blessings, such a level would be within reach quicker than you know it," Cindertail calmly said.

It took him under a week to reach Late Paragon. If he continued to receive blood refinements from his master, he didn't feel like the Divine Beast Realm was that far away.

Nevertheless, after Cindertail spoke, Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis looked at him thoughtfully.

…

As Leon reached the bottom of the abyss, he witnessed the wanton destruction caused by Nightingale and the Celestial-level Cruel Angel. Each attack would hurl the other into the opposite ends of the walls. 

Chunks of the earth would break off from the rocky walls and reveals tree roots hidden within, surprising Leon.

He did not expect the roots of the jungle trees to reach so far down.

Nevertheless, his thoughts didn't linger on the tree roots as he focused on the battle between Nightingale and the Celestial-level Cruel Angels.

The difference between them was clear at a glance.

Nightingale had higher strength and defense, while the Celestial-level Cruel Angel only had high-speed regeneration as its advantage.

While the bruises and injuries slowly accumulated on Nightingale's body, the Celestial-level Cruel Angel recovered from all its wounds by re-assimilating the massive chunks of flesh it lost or devouring the nearby infant abomination corpses in the area.

If the Celestial-level Cruel Angel could replenish itself indefinitely, Nightingale would actually lose in their battle of attrition.

"Do you need me to join, Nightingale?"

"No, my Lord! Please leave this monstrosity to me! I can defeat it without a problem!"

"Even if you say that, you're not going to win at this rate unless you cripple its regenerative ability."

"I am aware, my Lord. I was just testing my physical strength on it. If you are in hurry, I will fight seriously now and swiftly end the battle!"

Nightingale gazed at the Celestial-level Cruel Angel seriously and gathered dark flames in her mouth, seemingly readying to let out another dark fire breath.

However, Nightingale suddenly swallowed the dark fire breath in the next moment, and her body inflated like an explosion had occurred in her body.

Despite that, Nightingale didn't show any signs of discomfort. Instead, her eyes burned with battle spirit.

At the same time, dark flames started to seep out from under her dragon scales, transforming Nightingale's aura in that instance.
