Chapter 425: Zeus vs The Angel of the Moon

The last time Lan Jue had encountered Sariel they were on the sae Sariel did not feel the same, however, as she didn’t know this masked man was the same one who had terrorized the Pontiff’s Citadel Lan Jue was perfectly happy with the arrange her any trouble He acted as though he didn’t knoho she was

“Three, two, one Begin!”

Sariel’s wings brought her in to the air As she hung there above hiht Lan Jue answered with vigor, in contrast to the strategies of his earlier fights

There was a flash of electric light and Lan Jue appeared before the Angel of the Moon There was nothing so fast as lightning, and Sariel didn’t even have time to summon her holy sword She could only thrust her hands out in hopes they would deflect his attack

Lan Jue reached out two barehanded, and a point of light was spat froether in a strangely specific order Voracious Lightning! It was a skill even Chu Cheng’d never seen before

Sariel wasn’t Lena There was quite a power discrepancy between them, not to htning-based poere especially forceful against the vampire’s Dark Discipline, but were notably less so when faced with Light Adepts In addition, she was also several ranks higher than he was Winning this fight without some sort of secret weapon would be next to ihtning attack Ten tendrils of pure white light slithered froertips to cut off and reflect Lan Jue’s attacks away A crescent le silver light shining down upon her The light was serving as a shield

“Boo erupted one after the other in fierce blooht The special quality of these strikes was their ability to devour outside energy Explosions spread their influence farther

The ence put him at rank six or seven, the say to waste

Obviously, the discrepancy in total energy between ranks was ht However that was only part of Sariel’sin the Pontiff’s infor enough to defeat Michael, which ht behind Still she wouldn’t have thought he’d coestto see passed the intensity at the actual strength If she did, she would see that a sixth ranked Adept would be quite a bit stronger
