Chapter 547 Fierce Battle with Edmund
Lin Tian was hit head-on by the sound wave, and his body jolted violently.
A negative status effect of 50% reduced movement speed appeared on his status bar.
Celia and Little White were also affected. Celia's movement speed was also halved, and Little White swayed in the air and almost fell down.
Edmund seized the opportunity and charged toward Lin Tian.
Its speed was not affected by the Wrath of the Heroes—that roar was a debuff to the enemy, but had no side effects on itself.
The battle axe swung down again.
This time, Lin Tian did not completely dodge.
The blade of the battle axe grazed his left arm, leaving a bloody gash.
The damage wasn't high, but Lin Tian frowned slightly.
It wasn't because of the pain, but because this axe blow made him realize that Edmund's attack pattern was changing.
It's no longer a simple routine, but rather an adjustment based on Lin Tian's dodging habits.
This leader's learning ability is stronger than expected.
Lin Tian took a few steps back and glanced at the wound on his left arm. The wound wasn't deep and was slowly healing under passive regeneration.
He looked up at Edmund.
"That's interesting."
He raised his right hand, his five fingers spread.
【Divine Realm - Gravity】
As the gravitational field unfolded, Edmund's body was pulled forward by an invisible force, involuntarily tilting forward.
Its feet plowed two deep furrows in the ground, but it didn't stop—it was defying gravity.
Lin Tian raised his left hand at the same time.
【All Things Guided by Heaven】
Consumes 3% of mana.
An energy surge erupted from Lin Tian, striking Edmund squarely.
The damage is lower than that of Star Ray because Edmund has higher resistance to area damage.
But the combined effect of gravity and universal attraction was achieved—Edmund staggered and lost his balance.
Lin Tian seized the opportunity, flashed into Edmund's side.
[Star Ray] Released at zero distance.
The beam pierced Edmund's right shoulder, breaking through his armor and exposing his knuckles.
crit.
Edmund's health bar dropped to 70%.
It let out a low growl and slammed its left-hand shield down at Lin Tian.
The shield moved with astonishing speed, accompanied by a whistling sound.
Lin Tian had no time to dodge and could only raise his arm to block.
"Bang--!!!"
He was sent flying by the shield, tumbling twice in the air before landing on one knee and sliding for five or six meters before coming to a stop.
My health bar dropped by 3%.
Lin Tian shook his numb arm, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"He's quite strong."
Edmund did not pursue.
It stood still, golden specks of light scattering from the wound on its right shoulder—that was its "blood," or rather, the embodiment of the spirit's will.
The golden flames in its eye sockets burned even more intensely.
"You...are very strong."
Edmund spoke again, his voice still low and hoarse, but with a hint of... approval.
"But that's not enough."
It raised its battle axe, and all the runes on the blade lit up.
Golden light surged from the axe, spreading along Edmund's right arm and throughout his entire body. The entire skeleton was enveloped in golden flames, like a war god stepping out of mythology.
【Unfulfilled Oath】—Not triggered yet, it hasn't reached 30% health.
But this is a different skill.
A system notification sounded.
[Valhalla Commander Edmund enters "Heroic Release" state.]
[Attack power increased by 30%, attack speed increased by 30%, lasting 20 seconds.]
Edmund's figure disappeared from the spot.
It's not teleportation; it's a speed so fast that it's imperceptible to the naked eye.
Lin Tian's pupils contracted slightly.
He didn't have time to unleash his skill and could only instinctively turn to the side.
A golden arc of light flashed past the spot where he had just stood, and the battle axe missed its target.
But a shield followed closely behind, its surface slamming in from the side, sealing off his escape route.
Lin Tian raised his right arm, and a layer of pale golden shield condensed in his palm—it wasn't a skill, but rather his rudimentary application of the energy of the laws.
"Bang--!!!"
The shield slammed into the protective shield, shattering it, and Lin Tian was sent flying again.
This time, he did not land.
He adjusted his posture in mid-air, activated [Star Leap], transformed into a streak of light, and regained his footing.
Upon landing, he glanced at his health bar.
87%.
Edmund's two consecutive attacks reduced his health by about 10%.
Lin Tian took a deep breath.
He raised his right hand and slowly closed his five fingers.
[Law Imprisonment]
Four golden chains shot out from the void and flew towards Edmund.
The chains moved incredibly fast, leaving a golden trail in the air.
Edmund swung his axe at the chains.
The battle axe struck the first chain, causing it to vibrate but not break.
The second, third, and fourth bands simultaneously wrapped around its limbs.
Edmund was locked up.
It struggled twice, and the chains creaked, but did not break.
Lin Tian's intelligence was hundreds of times greater than itss, and the duration of the law-based confinement was almost at its maximum—ten seconds.
Ten seconds is enough.
Lin Tian walked up to Edmund and looked at the golden flames dancing in its eye sockets.
"Feel sorry."
He raised his hands.
[Divine All Things - Gravity] + [Divine All Things - Repulsion] are released simultaneously.
Gravity compressed Edmund's body inward, while repulsive force pushed him outward from Lin Tian's palm.
Two opposing forces converged within Edmund's body, creating a terrifying tearing effect.
The damage numbers were jumping wildly above Edmund's head.
Edmund's health bar dropped from 70% to 45%.
The moment the chains disappeared, Edmund swayed and knelt on one knee.
It used its battle axe to support its body and did not fall.
It raised its head and looked at Lin Tian.
Golden flames flickered in his eye sockets, brighter than before.
"You...are indeed qualified."
It slowly stood up.
"But the final trial... is not over yet."
Edmund's health bar - 44%.
Its body began to emit a golden light.
The light emanated from every bone in the skeleton and overflowed from every seam of the armor, as if something was burning within it.
[Unfulfilled Vow] - Triggered.
Why is this trait, which only triggers when health is below 30%, now...?
Lin Tian suddenly understood.
It's not 30%; it was triggered prematurely on its own.
Instead of waiting for its health bar to drop to 30%, it activated the final oath when it still had 44% health.
A system notification sounded.
[Valhalla Commander Edmund enters the "Final Oath" state.]
[Attack power increased by 100%, attack speed increased by 50%, lasting 30 seconds.]
[In this state, the Wrath of the Heroes has no cooldown.]
[After the duration ends, Edmund will be forced into a weakened state, with his defense reduced by 50% for 60 seconds.]
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.
This is a fight to the death.
Edmund moved.
Its speed was extremely fast, and the battle axe transformed into a golden light curtain, enveloping Lin Tian.
