Chapter 522 Light And Shadow Chaos
Chapter 522 Light And Shadow Chaos
Roland and Mona were locked in a stalemate, each refusing to yield to the other. Roland wanted to monopolize all the treasures, but Mona was no pushover, and she wouldn't let him have his way so easily. Of course, if Roland were to be a little more reasonable and agree to share half of the treasures with Mona, the matter could be easily resolved.
However, what Mona didn't know was that Roland had his own reason for doing so. He had to rely on his Crushing Thunder Strike to devour all the magical weapons and bones there in order to forge his indestructible body and restore himself to the peak of his power.
Mona's voice turned icy as she addressed Roland, "Roland, if you have any sense, you'll hand over all the top-grade magical weapons now and we'll split them equally. It's a fair and amicable solution. However, if you persist in keeping all the artifacts to yourself, don't be surprised when I resort to using Light and Shadow Chaos against you."
Roland's eyes narrowed. He was fully aware of the potency of Mona's Light and Shadow Chaos. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Mona, it's not that I'm being greedy. It's just that everything here holds great significance for me. If you're willing to show me some consideration and refrain from taking anything from this place, I promise to give you the Netherworld Map. What do you think? This is the biggest concession I can make."
Although Mona was reluctant to engage in a mental battle, she was no fool either. She scoffed and said, "What a laughable proposition! If you regain your strength and decide not to hand over the Netherworld Map, what can I possibly do to stop you? If you truly mean what you say, give me the map right now. Only then will I turn around and leave!"
Roland's eyes flickered with anger, for he thought Mona's words were nothing but nonsense.
After all, he couldn't possibly hand over the Netherworld Map at this moment. His ability to stand against her depended on the power it provided. If he were to surrender it now, she could easily turn it against him and take his life.
There's no trust between us, so why the h*ll would I hand over the Netherworld Map at this time?
"It seems we won't be able to reach an agreement," Roland said coldly.
In response, Mona didn't hold back and declared, "If that's how it is, then prepare to meet your doom!" Following this, she presented the Holy Scripture.
The Holy Scripture flipped open automatically, revealing two pages—one black and one white.
A myriad of intricate and tiny words appeared on the pages. Mona's voice resonated with power as she chanted incantations, channeling her energy into her technique. Then, she pointed at the Holy Scripture.
The Holy Scripture erupted in a dazzling brilliance, and countless tiny characters flew out from its pages. Among them, some were black while others were white.
Under Mona's manipulation, the black and white words merged and started spinning wildly.
As they spun, they formed a vortex, resembling the Light and Shadow Vortex.
This was the formidable skill known as Light and Shadow Chaos.
A powerful bolt of white lightning burst forth from the Light and Shadow Vortex, striking fiercely toward Roland's head.
Roland's expression turned solemn as he knew that Light and Shadow Chaos embodied the very essence of Spatial Law. There was no force that could withstand an attack unleashed by this formidable technique.
This bolt of lightning struck with incredible speed and force.
Fortunately, Roland sensed the danger and acted swiftly when Light and Shadow Chaos took shape. He unleashed the Netherworld Map, causing the Netherworld River to surge and create a vortex that absorbed the lightning emitted by Light and Shadow Chaos directly into its depths.
Although the lightning from Light and Shadow Chaos was incredibly powerful, it seemed insignificant compared to the vastness of the Netherworld River. As the bolt of lightning entered the river, it became clear that it couldn't inflict any significant harm.
With determination in her eyes, Mona continued to manipulate her technique, channeling her most potent energy into the Light and Shadow Vortex. The vortex started spinning even faster, transforming into a luminous entity that radiated a powerful glow.
At that moment, the Light and Shadow Vortex shone as brilliantly as the sun, radiating endless streaks of lightning in all directions.
Roland's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth as he exclaimed, "You're insane! Are you really
going to destroy everything here?"
Boom!
The Light and Shadow Vortex unleashed four unparalleled bolts of lightning, each one striking with thunderous force. These powerful flashes bombarded the surroundings, causing massive cracks to appear on the floor and ceiling of the cave. In an instant, dust filled the air, and the entire cave trembled as if it was on the verge of collapse.
Following that, four more bolts of lightning surged toward Roland.
Roland skillfully utilized the power of the Netherworld Map to absorb the incoming lightning. At the same time, he dispatched waves upon waves of Bone Dragons and undead beasts from within the map to launch a fierce counterattack against Mona.
Unyielding, Mona stood her ground, resembling a thunder deity with absolute control over the power of lightning.
The Light and Shadow Vortex emitted endless bolts of lightning, instantly reducing the Bone Dragons and undead beasts to charred fragments.
It seemed as if no force could withstand the electrical brilliance unleashed by the Light and Shadow Vortex.
Roland couldn't help but feel an overwhelming headache as he witnessed the earth trembling and the impending destruction of the place.
The electric radiance of the Light and Shadow Vortex ravaged even the formidable and unparalleled magic formation, revealing the Astro Scepter in the center of the shattered formation.
The entire cave was engulfed in swirling dust.
Roland found himself trapped, unable to move away from dealing with the overwhelming electrical torrents unleashed by the Light and Shadow Vortex.
At the same time, Mona had to channel her energy to maintain the Light and Shadow Vortex as a constant flow of monsters and ghosts emerged from the Netherworld River.
With all the chaos around them, the two still had to use their powers to resist the falling boulders and debris that rained down upon them.
Soon, the seawater from outside started rushing into the collapsing cave, making the inevitable collapse of the cave seem imminent.
Despite so, Mona and Roland remained locked in a tense standoff, each determined to outlast the other and emerge victorious.
Just then, Jonathan suddenly appeared beside the Astro Scepter. He grabbed the scepter and stowed it away in his storage ring. Shortly after, the icebreaker appeared and he swiftly boarded it before soaring out from the top of the cave.
As the cave was already collapsing, it was relatively easy for Jonathan to make his way out. However, the moment he escaped, all the seawater gushed in, bringing with it a terrifying water pressure that threatened to crush everything in its path.
Just like that, the most terrifying calamity that was a combination of natural disaster and human conflict occurred.
Regardless, Jonathan had already charged out on the icebreaker.
"D*mn it!" Upon seeing the situation, Roland couldn't help but fly into a rage.
Mona's gaze was filled with anger as well, but she dared not withdraw her power just yet.
Roland shouted to her, "Both of us have been deceived by that despicable thief! Aren't you going to stop?"
To that, Mona replied coldly, "First, recall all these monsters and ghosts!"
"Shall we call it quits together?" suggested Roland.
"All right. On the count of three! One, two, three!" Both of them stopped their attacks at the same time.
With the cave crumbling around them, they didn't have time to chase after Jonathan. Right then, their first priority was to save their own lives.
With a focused gaze, Mona swiftly opened the dimensional portal and dashed inside.
As Roland witnessed the destruction of the cave, he couldn't help but feel his heart aching with the loss. However, he found solace in the fact that he still had many magic items with him. Without
hesitation, he used Flaming Divine Armor to protect himself before summoning the icebreaker and charging straight out.
As for Rhiannon, she had somehow vanished into the cave without a trace.
At this very moment, Mona's hatred for Jonathan was bone-deep. The whole trip had turned out to be a wasted effort, leaving her frustrated and vexed. She had been used and manipulated by the man from start to finish, and this left her seething with anger.
That being said, she couldn't fathom how all of this had come to be.
In a blink of an eye, she used the dimensional portal to arrive at the sea surface, hoping to find traces of Jonathan's whereabouts. She was determined to obtain the immensely powerful Astro Scepter as well.
Alas, despite her rapid arrival at the sea surface, Jonathan was nowhere to be found.
Meanwhile, Roland had no intention of getting entangled with Mona any longer, so he used Flaming Divine Armor to make his way out from the collapsing cave and burst out of the sea, heading straight for the clouds in the sky.
While searching for Jonathan proved futile, Mona unexpectedly picked up on Roland's escape in her spiritual sense.
Without any hesitation, she immediately chased after him.
As for where Jonathan was exactly, it would come as a surprise to both Mona and Roland that he had
not left the open sea; instead, he continued his journey in the deep ocean depths.
Since he had the Polychromatic Mirror with him, it was impossible for anyone to find him.
Rhiannon was with him. After taking a few deep breaths, she eagerly communicated with him through their spiritual sense.
Both of them were breathing through ice crystal tubes, drawing air from the storage rings they wore, rendering verbal communication impossible. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"My goodness! What on earth just happened?" Rhiannon exclaimed. She had just faced the most terrifying life-and-death peril and had believed her fate was sealed. However, to her astonishment, Jonathan proved to be in complete command of the situation. Not only did he survive the onslaught of the two formidable fighters, but he also managed to snatch the Astro Scepter from them.
Previously, Rhiannon had only heard about Jonathan teasing and toying with Theos Lynn, and she found it somewhat fascinating. It wasn't until now that she realized she was witnessing the terrifying extent of Jonathan's power.
Until this very moment, she still didn't quite understand what had happened.
"When Roland attacked me with his spear, it was incredibly powerful and caught me off guard. If I hadn't anticipated his move in advance, I would have been dead by now," Jonathan said to Rhiannon. He couldn't help but feel a little excited at this point.
Rhiannon exclaimed, "For a moment, we all thought you were dead! What exactly happened? How did you vanish into thin air and manage to deceive Roland and Mona?" She was genuinely puzzled and
couldn't wrap her head around it.
Jonathan explained, "Don't you know that the Polychromatic Mirror can create a duplicate of oneself?"
Rhiannon was slightly taken aback, then she said, "Indeed, I'm aware of the Polychromatic Mirror's ability, but crafting a duplicate body with it is an incredibly challenging task!"
Jonathan flashed a faint smile and said, "For me, it wasn't that difficult. When Roland launched that spear attack, he was actually targeting my clone. Naturally, when the clone was shattered by his spear, it disappeared without a trace. Meanwhile, I was hiding in the shadows the entire time. Everyone's attention was focused on my clone, so no one noticed. Plus, I used the Polychromatic Mirror to conceal my aura."
"But after your clone disappeared, we were all looking for you. No matter where you hid, you couldn't have escaped, could you?" Rhiannon grew even more puzzled.
Jonathan said, "Well, we have to thank the fact that we have already stored plenty of air in the storage ring this morning. The moment my clone disappeared, I hid myself inside the storage ring. And since the storage ring was hidden among a pile of bones, they naturally couldn't find anything."
