Level Up Legacy Chapter 662: All Exchangeable

Chapter 662: All Exchangeable

The b.l.o.o.d.y King, Stars Mage, White Fairy, and the Lightning Knight stood inside the four white pillars that surrounded Amelio. After he was placed inside this field, the Fallen G.o.d looked around with interest.

"Is this your doing, little woman?" asked Amelio with interest as he looked at the tall pillars enclosing the battlefield. "Four pillars… and there are also four of you. Is that how your ability works?"

"There is no reason to answer a dying man," said Devan as his body kept growing, fueled by the blood of his ancestors. His hair also grew longer, floating beside him. It was a scene from h.e.l.l, and Devan was its gatekeeper. "Lend me your strength, Ilia Perli."

"As you wish," nodded Ilia as he closed his eyes. Then, a moment later, lightning appeared on Devan's gigantic body. The red skin turned yellowish instantly, and lightning surrounded the b.l.o.o.d.y King.

"Still too proud to ask for my aid?" asked Azkavan with a smile. "It matters not. As long as you kill this man, I will play along with your childish antics. Stars of Persistence, aid this fool."

"You are the fool!" roared the giant who no longer resembled Devan, but a blinding light still descended from the sky to cover him.

"Don't be so bitter, as you need him so that your body does not explode," said Major Ilia as he limped toward the three. "Go, Devan. Show this man what the combined strength of the Yalveran Union can do."

"Are you done with the performance?" Amelio tilted his head with confusion. "It's obvious that this woman's ability is to form a link that allows each of you to use all abilities. However, even if you give a man four weapons, he is still a man."

"Unless he has four arms," replied Devan while towering over Amelio. The Fallen G.o.d raised his head to look at the b.l.o.o.d.y King, wondering if he was kidding. "In that case, you will receive four wounds instead of one."

Both Amelio and the rest were too speechless to react, and Devan did not wait for them to give one either. Instead, the giant mana retracted his swollen arm, which was covered with myriads of lights.

"It would not make a difference," said Amelio with an apathetic expression. "You can attack all at once too, and it would not make a difference!"

"You misunderstand something, Fallen One," said Fey as she strolled toward him. "I never confirmed that my ability was only that. Anything is possible for those who have the link between them, and all are exchangeable. Even… life and death."

"…such an absurd ability is impossible to exist. Not even the creator has awakened such a rune before!" said Amelio with a frown. "If by some miracle, exists such an ability, then it would have a hefty price."

"A price I have already paid years ago," smiled Fey. "And now, you will pay half of it too. Give up your life for the ancient blood!"

"I see," grinned Amelio. "You are also one of the ancients who had ruled over the world before the guardians existed. I wondered if your hair was a sign too, but you smell a bit different."

"The ancient blood within me warns me of you too," said Fey as she waved her sword, and it danced in the air. "However, not all warnings mean danger. Sir Devan, you now have all of our strengths."

"…the power is flowing within me," muttered Devan as he turned his head toward the sky. "Everything for this, or all for nothing. A moment of battle can change the history that follows. But, I will not disgrace… those before me."

After reciting his mantra, Devan stomped on the ground and rushed forward. ئ was fragmented as the pavement was flattened, and numerous cracks ran through it. As for the b.l.o.o.d.y King, he teleported to where Amelio was.

The Fallen G.o.d did not seem concerned with the attack. Instead, he raised his hand to block it without changing his stance. Fey frowned as she raised her other hand and clenched it into a fist. The pillars began to s.h.i.+ne before sending their light to the guild master.

"Stat Augmentation: Strength!" shouted Fey in a low voice, and Devan struck with his giant fist. Amelio raised his brows in surprise as the fist collided with his hand and sent him flying.

The Fallen G.o.d flew through the air before falling and hitting the ground multiple times before he started to roll across the battlefield. The soldiers and Skywalkers stopped fighting and turned to look at him.

"An absurd ability indeed," muttered Ilia Perli as his breathing grew faint. "This support ability is the greatest blessing that the Yalveran has received. It is not a linear increase in battle strength, but exponential."

"Your sin is arrogance, Fallen G.o.d Amelio," said Fey as she stared at the man who crashed into a building. "We, humans, also have some tricks that can kill the G.o.ds. If not careful, you will… die here."

The dust cloud disappeared as Amelio rushed from within it. He was unharmed except for some bruising on his hand. In an instant, he appeared atop Devan while swinging his fist toward his skull.

"Do not get c.o.c.ky, brat!" grinned Amelio. "I will have the last laugh in this battle, regardless of your tricks."

Fey clicked her tongue before returning her sword to her sheath and crossing her arms. Then, with a sweaty face, she controlled the pillars again while flinging her hands away from each other.

"Exchange!" shouted Fey, and Devan disappeared. In his place was Ilia Perli himself, wielding his lightning spear to strike at Amelio. But, because of the difference in size between Devan and Ilia, Amelio struck empty air.

The swung fist created a mighty wind that tore through the battlefield but failed to do any harm. Amelio gritted his teeth as Ilia Perli struck with his spear toward the man's falling back.

"That did not work before and won't work now!"

"You forgot once again that we are not the same anymore," said Fey with a pale face. "Stat Augmentation: Mana! Unleash everything, Sir Ilia!"

"I never imagined I would be ordered around by a brat," grinned Ilia Perli as his lightning crackled. "However, for this old man to feel such strength flowing into me, I have no complaints. Lightning Spear, Eternal Storm!"

Ilia Perli struck with his lightning spear, which became brighter than earlier. Amelio could not dodge because he was falling but made sure to turn around and block the attack. The mere act of wanting to stop it with his hands meant Amelio knew this attack was more powerful than before.

However, it did not matter. The spear tore through his hands at lightning speed and pierced his chest. Amelio howled before pus.h.i.+ng against the spear with his mangled hands to fly away and remove the scorching spear from his chest.

The Fallen G.o.d rolled on the ground again, but he was riddled with wounds this time. After his body stopped digging through the battlefield, Amelio stared at his mangled hands and chest. The skin was charcoaled and burned, and there was a deep hole in his left chest.

"He used his hands to divert the attack from his heart," said Ilia Perli with disappointment. "I thought this would end this tragedy, but it continues."

"Do not be such disappointment, lightning boy," said Devan with a grin. "The end of this battle means the end of our fun. We don't get to experience this exhilarating feeling every day. If I had Fey on my guild, it would have become the strongest guild in the world."

"Stop daydreaming, Devan," said Azkavan as he raised his staff. "If you let your guard down, this monster of a man will take your head. As long as there is breath within him, then we have failed."

"That is right," grinned Amelio as he rose from the ground, the holes in his chest and hands not seeming to bother him. "If you didn't kill me in a single strike, it would have been for nothing. After all, I can regenerate anything."

After he declared such, Amelio raised his hands. The holes that had been dug into them, and the one on his chest, disappeared after being replaced with flesh. The four frowned just the same as their earlier attack seemed never to happen.

"So, we need to start over?" asked Azkavan before smiling. "I guess I finally get to show the world what I can do, huh?" he said while glancing at the drones. "Miss Fey, please lend me a hand."

"As you wish, Sir Azkavan," said Fey while raising her arms and crossing them together. "Stat Augmentation: Perception!"

"The infinite stars are all we need to survive," said Azkavan while raising his black and bony staff. "As long as we can find the star, it will guide us to victory. Aid me in this battle, Star of Destruction."
