As the fierce flames consumed him, a flash overtook Lan Jue’s body and he vanished He reappeared in the air a short distance away, covered in golden fla crackled around him
Michael had already recovered by the ti that had been coiling around him were burned away by the holy fires Shock and confusion were behind those fla eyes
“That speed…”
No ordinary Discipline had produced that speed, or else he wouldn’t have lost the Adventus hold It was as though Lan Jue simply tore apart space to appear elsewhere, folded reality Whatever it was, it didn’t fall under the dolared icicles at Michael, as his arms raised slowly on either side of his body Slowly the violet bolts of lightning around hirew , white-hot splendor
In all of the Three Alliances there existed ten Great Paragons, absolute reat, so terrible, that they were known to be capable of facing doarships by themselves Both Lan Jue’s Ascension and Michael’s Adventus teon Others of the Archengels weren’t capable of reaching such a level
But Michael, at the cusp of Paragon himself, was stunned as he watched Lan Jue He had underestireater than a seventh-rank It was ahis supre him forward His holy blade stretched forth towards Lan Jue as the air around the angel shihostly shadows As he drew closer, the shadows becaht that filled the skies, threatening to devour Lan Jue
