Chapter 460: Remiel
"Helaire?!"
Under Fisher's surprised gaze, the black and white colors in his line of sight were bit by bit dispelled by the warm morning light enveloping Helaire, breaking the surrounding sense of stalled time bit by bit.
But Fisher didn't relax. His heart was still tightly raised, because he knew deeply that even if Helaire used all her strength, she couldn't block the Lord Tao whose rank was so much higher than hers.
And in the distance, Lord Tao naturally also saw the Angel suddenly appearing before her eyes. She was somewhat surprised, surprised that the concealment method of the Angel before her eyes made her misjudge previously. She hadn't recognized this Angel in the group previously, and naturally wouldn't have expected an Angel to be so audacious as to follow Fisher and the others into the Tree Continent.
In the instant a bit of annoyance rose in her heart, Lord Tao's movements didn't stop at all. Her right hand was seen standing up bit by bit, branches continuously growing within that palm with five fingers held together, until a complete illusory scarlet Peach Blossom bloomed in her palm, aiming straight at the Angel before her eyes.
Even if it's an Angel it doesn't matter, just go die together.
Lord Tao's gaze abruptly turned cold. That raised palm, holding the Peach Blossom in her palm without holding back at all, fiercely smashed towards the Helaire before her eyes.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Helaire didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. Facing Lord Tao, she seemed to only be able to defend. Her expression was seen to be serious, both hands along with the illusory blue-gold wings behind her all stood up simultaneously. She stepped on the ground, the morning light on her body also reaching a bright peak. Soon after, she also fiercely met Lord Tao's strike with a palm strike.
"Boom!"The next second, in Fisher's eyes, the place where Helaire and Lord Tao clashed in the distance was suddenly completely occupied by piercing bright light.
Subsequently, in his eyes, everything around seemed to be reversing. The flying sand transformed from bricks and tiles, the Peach Blossom petals splashing all over the sky, the splinters from bursting wood, all facing that immense force returning to annihilation, shifted towards the direction of the coast. Subsequently, not only the items on the ground, but even the ground itself all completely dispersed, reversing towards Fisher's direction like mountains and rivers changing shape.
But using the senses of other non-Mythic Rank persons to perceive this matter, it seemed their senses were too numb.
Only when Fisher perceived the pain in his own body did he barely recover his wits from the completely silent, continuously collapsing land and Space before his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Lord Tao's spell that stalled their figures and time also seemed to disperse along with it. Fisher and Asuka Karasawa and the others finally couldn't control themselves anymore and were hit by the aftershock of the two Mythical Species battling in the extreme distance.
Fisher instantly felt his body let out a crisp sound like solidly crashing into a train. Amidst the intense pain came a piece of good news: the Asuka Karasawa and Mikhail he threw out previously finally flew out normally. It was just that it seemed they had completely lost Consciousness at this very moment, thus flying towards the ocean together with the debris and land like mountains.
Behind them, outside the phantom of the World Tree, that sky full of clouds was pierced through, leaving a rift leading to the Crevice full of Dreams and nothingness. Revealing from it was a massive dragon head. He seemed to have been watching the show just now, not expecting the aftershock of the two Mythical Species' battle to unexpectedly perfectly piece through the huge rift between Reality and the Crevice.
It was exactly the Dragon God, Fafnir.
He opened his huge dragon mouth, but a second later seemed to realize he wasn't noticed, so he quietly extended his dragon claw, sewing up the rift formed by the aftershock, completely disappearing along with it as a result.
Because of this, the vault of heaven only left a neat dividing line of clouds, leading all the way to the end of the field of vision. And above the sea surface wasn't quiet either; that huge aftershock followed the ground sinking all the way into the ocean, continuously dividing the sea surface with a watershed, splashing up two walls of water a full hundred meters high.
"Fisher, quickly leave!"
Right at this moment, two extremely sorry figures flew out from the smoke and dust ahead. Looking closely, it was exactly Gou Wen with ragged clothes and Nekelia flying slightly unsteadily in the sky dragging his body.
Gou Wen coughed once. Seeing Fisher was still conscious, he immediately voiced a reminder, and subsequently they flew out of the edge of the Tree Continent without staying at all, catching the Asuka Karasawa and Mikhail still in the sky.
Nekelia was of the Fourteenth-Tier; dragging the weight of these three people was still very easy. It was just that it seemed her wings were injured due to the aftershock, therefore flying somewhat crookedly.
Fisher already heard Gou Wen's reminder, but he still didn't set out to leave immediately, instead turning his head to look towards the center direction of the battle just now.
Just as seen before, merely the aftershock of their battle could cause mountains and rivers to crack, the vault of heaven and the ocean to be restless and disturbed. But Fisher and the others situated behind them received an obviously much smaller impact. Why was this?
Fisher looked at the land and building debris cracking and falling towards the ocean all around, while only the surroundings where he stood were perfectly intact. And that perfectly intact portion actually looked entirely like a cone, extending from somewhere in front.
But very quickly, the answer was already revealed.
From that smoke and dust, a figure covered entirely in full-blown Peach Blossoms finally violently flew out. That figure's golden short hair drooped, the Angel halo on her head full of cracks, flickering erratically like a light bulb with bad contact. Her white robe was paved by fully bloomed Peach Blossoms one after another, but drops of golden blood continuously dripped down from under those Peach Blossoms, seemingly growing by absorbing that Angel's blood.
Helaire rolled several times in midair, subsequently smashing onto a position a hundred meters away from Fisher like a kite with a broken string, crawling on the ground twitching slightly twice. The blue-gold wings on her back also snapped bit by bit, the two pairs of wings leaving only the last half-remaining wing helplessly fluttering.
Helaire sprawled on the ground. Among that scattered golden hair, Fisher saw on her crack-filled face, that only still bright blue-gold eye raise up to glance at him once. Fisher couldn't distinguish the specific meaning of that glance, because just one second later, she was so exhausted she couldn't even keep her eyes open.
But the halo on her head was still flickering...
Fisher turned back to glance at the coast only one step away, seeing Nekelia dragging everyone else escaping further and further away. Fisher then turned back to look at the Helaire resting at least a hundred meters away.
Subsequently he gritted his teeth, fiercely drawing the Fluid Sword from his embrace, dragging his injured body wildly dashing towards Helaire's direction.
Amidst the smoke and dust, in the distance from Helaire, another figure was taking a Leisurely Stroll walking towards this side. Looking closely, it was exactly the perfectly intact Lord Tao.
Sensing Fisher not only didn't escape but instead ran towards that Angel, even Lord Tao was very surprised. She looked at the On the Verge of Death Helaire on the ground, then looked at Fisher,
"I still thought that human little girl was your girlfriend, after all she affectionately calls you 'Teacher' one bite after another. I didn't expect you like that group of neither-male-nor-female Angels..."
Although Lord Tao still took a Leisurely Stroll, although her distance from Helaire was further than Fisher's distance from Helaire, yet she arrived by Helaire's side a step earlier. She didn't take action, merely quietly watching Fisher approach Helaire,
"That's not right either, this Angel seems to have already chosen a gender."
The barefoot Lord Tao kicked the Helaire beside her saying thusly, while the Fisher full of fierce glares had also arrived by Helaire's side. He raised his sword and chopped at Lord Tao, but Lord Tao merely allowed his blade to chop onto her leg, not only not causing a bit of damage, the huge recoil even almost shattered the webbing between Fisher's thumb and forefinger.
Lord Tao curled her lips, seemingly somewhat boredly looking at the Nekelia flying constantly further away in the distance, subsequently only then looking at the Fisher before her eyes,
"A small fry even if returning is still a small fry, ah, the only use is probably only to deepen your feelings before dying a bit... although even if you escape you will still be caught back by me. Even if that Phoenix flies to the Ends of the Earth, I can pull her back just by extending my hand. So perhaps Die for Love isn't a bad choice either, small fry?"
But Fisher ignored her entirely. He merely squatted down to check Helaire's halo and condition. The Angel physiology she popularized for him previously finally found use; at least now he could still know how her body was through the condition of her halo.
Although severe, at least still alive.
He exhaled a deep breath of relief, subsequently raising that breath bit by bit again. After a moment of silence, only then did he tighten his grip on the Fluid Sword in his hand blurred by the wound on his thumb web. Subsequently he raised his head bit by bit, expressionlessly looking at the Tao before his eyes,
"I am different from Bing. Disappointingly for you, when I was pursued by death and left helpless just now, I once made a resolution... and unfortunately, this resolution is still usable up to now."
"...What are you saying, small fry?"
Fisher didn't respond to her, merely suddenly using all the strength in his whole body to raise the Fluid Sword in his hand. Subsequently, he fiercely wrapped the Fluid Sword around Helaire's waist, then he advanced instead of retreating, turning his back while throwing Helaire towards the ocean, while he himself abruptly charged at Lord Tao.
Lord Tao was already Accustomed To Strangeness towards the suicidal behavior of this human before her eyes. She merely treated it as this guy already going mad in the face of his companion's impending death. She curled her lips boredly, subsequently extending her finger preparing to completely end the human before her eyes.
But the next second, from this fiercely approaching human body, an aura abruptly burst forth that even she felt was extremely dangerous.
What is this thing?
Lord Tao froze slightly. At this moment, when she looked at the human before her eyes again, in her line of sight, she only felt that a black hole seemingly wanting to swallow everything around appeared in the chest position of the person before her eyes, like the deepest darkness in this world, wanting to completely drag Lord Tao's line of sight into it, even making all the Rules all around become extremely anxious.
At this moment, at the chest position of Fisher Hysterical charging at Lord Tao, that figure-eight symbol became increasingly scorching, becoming extremely unstable.
Renee once told him, when he expelled death, he would be able to use the mark on his chest again to shatter the rules of time, catapulting him back to the time he belonged to.
Although not knowing the specific principles, the Fisher who transmigrated over through the same method naturally knew exactly how the mighty power contained within it was, because even Lord Tao absolutely couldn't tamper with time.
And not applying this mighty power onto time, but purely taking it out to detonate, this was exactly what Fisher wanted to do right now.
He wanted to completely blow up this beast before her eyes to death.
"You small fry!"
Facing that continuously blooming terrifying power from the future, Lord Tao was incomparably fierce verbally, but that raised finger wanting to kill it was extremely honestly withdrawn. Just as she was about to push off with the tips of her toes, she found the other party's chest continuously pulling at the nearby Rules; at this very moment, any action she wanted to do became infinitely long, infinitely difficult.
But Fisher also absolutely didn't have it easy. Without the restraint of Renee's power, that Glaring Like A Tiger death was like a shark smelling blood in the sea, biting towards him.
Thus, in this field, the Fisher entangled by death and the Lord Tao entangled by Renee's power could neither escape at this moment, allowing that extremely dangerous power that was about to completely swallow them up.
Looking at that fierce-faced Fisher, the expression of Lord Tao pulled by the Authority of Infinity also became malevolent. Her expression also became fierce, one after another Peach Blossoms fiercely blooming on her body wanting to kill him a step earlier, attempting to unravel the dilemma at this moment.
Waiting until the pressure of that terrifying rank impacted over, almost tearing apart the gradually emaciated body of Fisher being pulled by death, yet he was still approaching Lord Tao, as if definitely wanting to kill her.
"You... madman..."
The closer Fisher got, under the influence of Chaos, the Peach Blossoms on Lord Tao's hands withered one after another, as if corroding, turning the branches entwining her body dry and withered.
Unlike Fisher's Hysterical fighting for his life, speaking from the heart, Lord Tao still very much wanted to live.
Who would probably have to be as mad as Fisher to be willing to perish together with this Fourteenth-Tier Transferred Person right?
At this moment, she inevitably felt fear, thus fiercely shrinking back that extended hand again. Unable to use her abilities, she wildly ran backwards using her two legs without even turning her head back.
That posture of fleeing for her life made even Fisher freeze slightly, but he very quickly with bloodshot eyes prepared to pursue her with his somewhat emaciated body. This frightened Lord Tao out of her wits, as if that extremely unstable mark on Fisher's chest that was about to explode was some flood or savage beast.
"Stop, Transferred Person, stay your hand. You have already done well enough, but you must stop your hand, Helaire hasn't escaped yet."
Just when Fisher's eyes were red wanting to completely perish together with Lord Tao, an illusory male voice he was somewhat familiar with abruptly transmitted beside his ear. Initially he even thought he had hallucinations, but when he subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, he only then discovered that the unconscious Helaire was still lying several steps away from the coast.
So it turned out because he was already severely injured just now, even using all his strength he still didn't throw Helaire into the ocean.
Of course, it was also possible because she was too heavy.
"No need to worry, your stratagem succeeded. I saw that gale rushing over to receive you... Now, release that Chaos on your body, and then take Helaire and escape, I will handle Tao."
Hearing that sentence said by that male voice, Fisher's suspended heart was finally let down.
Because at this very moment, his third step plan was truly considered successful.
Previously the first step having Asuka Karasawa release her entire body's gale towards the sky, rolling up such a large tornado to pass through the space rift; the second step again taking Bing's head to threaten Lord Tao, to obtain a gleam of survival to escape to the coast... were all for this step.
Because he still remembered, before they came to the Tree Continent, Sariel, that is Archangel Pandora, once said she would send the Archangel governing the Mortal World, Remiel, to be on standby near the Tree Continent, in order to receive them at any time.
And with such a huge disturbance occurring in Jianmu Palace which symbolized the most important place of the Elf-kin, he would definitely come over to check. And only an Nineteenth-Tier Archangel like him could truly block Lord Tao to let them successfully escape; this was exactly the gleam of survival Fisher thought of.
Thinking of this, he took a final red-eyed look at the Lord Tao running away continuously dropping Peach Blossoms ahead. He no longer pursued her, but instead enduring huge pain while turning back to run towards Helaire, locking that restless mark of Renee back into his own body.
As if sensing Fisher's gradually quieting inner heart, although that mark was still restless, it still honestly returned to Fisher's chest position.
"Hiss!"
In an instant, Fisher's chest felt like a piece of magma was pressed against it fiercely roasting it, hurting so much his entire body trembled. But he still didn't dare to stop, merely wildly dashing towards that Helaire lying on her side on the ground.
And that fleeing Lord Tao evidently also felt the chaotic aura behind her going distant. She looked back, yet discovered Fisher had already run far away in the opposite direction.
"Small fry!! You played me?!!"
Being treated like this continuously by Fisher, even Lord Tao instantly reached the limit of high pressure. Her eyes also instantly turned red, that terrifying pressure pouncing on his face once again; evidently she was completely enraged by Fisher, especially since the Peach Blossoms on her body withered by the Chaos hadn't even recovered yet.
"Clang clang clang!"
But right after Fisher contained Renee's power into his body, resonant gospels like a great bell immediately resounded in the sky.
He saw the clouds in the vault of heaven spiraling up one by one like living dragons and snakes, aiming straight downwards at the enraged and completely Break Defenses Lord Tao.
"Rumble rumble!"
Accompanied by the resounding of countless thunderbolts, an Angel with three pairs of wings of light on his back, possessing white hair and brown skin, slowly descended, holding a trident resembling thunder in his hand, staring deadly at the Lord Tao below.
"...Archangel, Remiel."
Lord Tao's movement of wanting to completely slay Fisher halted slightly. Gnashing One's Teeth, she raised her head to look at the Angel slowly descending from the sky. She knew the other party wouldn't let her have her way; rather than being distracted like this, she might as well focus on battling the other party.
Remiel rubbed the trident full of lightning in his hand, responding expressionlessly,
"A pleasure to meet you, Grand Duke, Lord Tao."
"You Sanctuary really are mad. The Chaos on that Transferred Person is so terrifying, you actually dare to keep them by your side, aren't you afraid of drawing fire upon yourselves?"
Remiel stood the trident in his hand up, aiming at the Lord Tao before his eyes, opening his mouth to respond,
"This is not something I should consider. The other several Archangels will have a resolution."
"...Then you go die too, small fry."
The expressionless Remiel tilted his head, only reacting after several seconds passed that this seemed to be Lord Tao's verbal tic; she called everyone small fry...
And he completely ceased speaking. Fisher's stratagem was ultimately just a Stalling Tactic; the chasm of ranks was placed here, no matter what it was impossible to completely resolve the problem of Lord Tao. And exactly as Lord Tao previously said, even if Nekelia and the others ran out, even if they ran to the Ends of the Earth, Lord Tao could catch them back just by extending her hand.
The method to truly resolve the problem was also only one, and that was to battle.
Behind them, the battle of two Nineteenth-Tiers was about to start, but Fisher had no excess energy to care about it anymore.
He only used his fastest speed to run to the shore, subsequently hugging the Helaire lying on the ground.
Fisher panted looking at the quiet facial features obscured by messy golden curly hair in his embrace, at this moment abruptly recalling the annoying bad smile of this guy previously again.
This was perhaps a man's nature?
"Your usual appearance is still better..."
Fisher didn't know either, he was merely finally able to let out a breath of relief, speaking this sentence in a low voice.
Subsequently, he merely held the Helaire in his embrace steady, and before the earth-shattering battle behind him arrived, leaped down towards the ocean before his eyes.
