Chapter 445: Frenzied Blood
Destiny's Dominion · 第四四五章 狂血
"It looks like Miss Yvonne is about to lose, isn't she?"
Inside the magic tower of Linden Manor, Louise Linden looked at her grandfather with an inquiring gaze: "The time should be within the next ten minutes."
"How could that be?"
Roth Linden looked at his granddaughter with a faint smile: "What makes you think that?"
"I can feel that every attack by Mr. Benedict is impacting Miss Yvonne's internal body. It's like the 'hidden force' in Eastern legends—it looks harmless on the surface but has tremendous destructive power. So—"
Louise Linden frowned: "By now, the 'Blood-Eyed Angel' Robert Yvonne's internal organs, even her flesh, blood, and marrow, have probably been largely destroyed by Mr. Benedict. The divine power of the Wind of Battle is very powerful; as long as the battle continues and the gale rages, Miss Yvonne's power will grow endlessly, and her mana will recover unceasingly. But if her internal body is destroyed and the foundation carrying everything is shattered, then this 'Wind of Battle' cannot be brought into play. This must be Mr. Benedict's tactic, and now he is about to reap the results."
"Very good! Louise, you have extraordinary judgment. Under normal circumstances, Roland Benedict would need at most three minutes to secure victory. But—"
Roth Linden was very satisfied, but then his tone shifted: "Louise, you should know about Achilles, right?"
"Achilles?"
Louise did not initially understand her grandfather's meaning, but then her expression changed slightly: "The indestructible body? Grandfather, do you mean?"
'Indestructible body' is a term from Hindu Buddhism, but it can be used to describe Achilles' physical constitution.
"It hasn't reached that level yet, but she does now possess a similar physique. Those so-called hidden forces cause her very little harm. So the maid's current state is actually perfectly intact."
At this moment, a look of confusion also appeared in Roth Linden's eyes, and he murmured to himself: "I don't know how she acquired such a physique. Can the Heart of the War Angel also form such a divine body? Then the magical abilities of the Mayans deserve to be reassessed."
He felt some regret at not knowing the details of when Robert Yvonne achieved demigodhood.
It was said that there were some who paid attention at the time; at least the Dragon Witch Cult, the Benedict family, and certain people on the Antoria continent were quite interested in that battle.
But at the moment of the event, a mysterious and powerful force destroyed all remote scrying magic and drove away most of the nearby intelligence agents.
Roth Linden suspected it was Conshuri, very likely the legendary twins under Conshuri's command, but there was no evidence.
"So she has an iron body?"
Louise was taken aback: "Does that mean the one at a disadvantage now is actually Mr. Benedict?"
The old man lost in thought was awakened by her words, and then he chuckled: "The scales of victory are indeed quietly tipping. Miss Yvonne's power has increased by at least 45% compared to before the battle, and her slashing speed has increased by 30%. If the fight continues, her chances of victory will grow. But Roland Benedict still has cards to play. Keep watching, Louise. I sense interesting things are happening. The set of holy swords Robert Yvonne is using is very powerful."
In the dark world, another violent thunderbolt exploded, and dense electric nets spread in all directions. Then another huge wave of sound and shockwave swept across the entire sky.
The two locked in fierce combat here, after this all-out exchange, separated. This time, Roland Benedict's figure retreated all the way to seven kilometers away, reconnecting with his 'cable'-like wooden vines.
"Iron body! I underestimated you, Miss Yvonne."
As Roland spoke, his power and aura rapidly recovered. The wounds on the surrounding wooden shell cut by his opponent also healed back to their original state.
Those wooden vines continuously infused pure wood-attribute magical energy into his body. As a wood-element mage, Roland could easily convert this magical energy into his own mana and source power, keeping himself at his peak.
But his gaze toward Robert Yvonne still held a bit more wariness.
"Your set of holy swords is truly remarkable! Not only do they devour my strength, but they also have their own consciousness. It's hard to imagine how they were forged. But I think they will become one of the most precious treasures in my armory."
Robert Yvonne still did not speak, but a bloodshot hue gradually rose in her pupils, and a fervent battle intent flowed within her body.
She had been trained as a magical shadow and magical hunter in her childhood, but flowing within her was the berserker bloodline of Beowulf and a trace of dragon blood. This was also the origin of her epithet 'Blood-Eyed Angel'; whenever the battle grew intense, her eyes would turn crimson under the stimulation of her bloodline.
So in the final charge on the battleship Axe, she ultimately chose berserker as her main class.
And at this moment, the Beowulf blood within her was gradually boiling. This also caused her external source armor and the source sword aura covering 'Fang of the Wind God' to turn crimson.
"Beowulf? Frenzy?"
Roland immediately sensed Robert's anomaly, and his pupils contracted again.
The blood of 'Beowulf' is quite unique among berserker bloodlines. Due to the blessing of the Nordic winter goddess Skadi, Beowulf's descendants, though ordinary in explosive power, can still maintain clear rationality after frenzy, keeping their minds as calm as ice.
"Great minds think alike! I was wrong, Miss Yvonne; you possess outstanding battle wisdom—"
Roland exhaled a turbid breath, a hint of obscurity in his eyes.
At this moment, the 'cables' connected around him injected some blood-red liquid into his body, all from plants with fiery red leaves on the ground.
And Roland's body began to expand. The originally ten-meter-tall wooden man quickly grew to thirteen meters, and its exterior also turned crimson.
Unexpectedly, after the wooden man's body enlarged, it did not become clumsy or sluggish; instead, its movements became faster and more agile. At the same time, its aura became violent, and the concentration and thickness of its source armor more than doubled.
"Then our second round begins!"
"Boom!"
With this loud noise, Roland's figure flashed again, appearing before the blood-eyed maid. Eleven arms, eleven weapons, smashed down, clashing violently with Robert's unyielding 'Fang of the Wind God'.
Then the entire sky and earth shook. With the place where the two fought as the boundary, a huge chasm about 90 kilometers long and over 400 meters deep extended on both sides!
