Chapter 1579: Nine Gloom Versus Silver Armor

Upon sensing Giant Sarcoma and Four Face’s auras vanish one after the other, Silver Armor began to be rather anxious.

He felt the urge to break through the obstructing layers of vines and directly confront the Nine Gloom Vine for the final battle.

He knew that if things dragged out any further, the three-tailed snake lady might be killed.

It was not that he harbored any particular feelings for the three-tailed snake lady, but he knew that Nine Gloom was extremely powerful. Silver Armor was not confident that he would be able to win. He hoped that the three-tailed snake lady could survive and join forces to fight the enemy with him.

As his thoughts drifted, intense battle fluctuations suddenly came from a distance.

‘That direction—isn’t that the direction the Nine Gloom Vine was guarding…’ Silver Amor paused his steps for a moment as he hurried toward where the Nine Gloom Vine was guarding, ‘Don’t tell me the three-tailed snake lady has escaped?!’

In the entire God Territory, right now only the three of them remained—the Nine Gloom Vine, the three-tailed snake lady, and himself.

He had not encountered any enemies, so the battle happening now could only be between the Nine Gloom Vine and the three-tailed snake lady.

As soon as he realized this, Silver Armor hesitated no longer. He turned and broke through the vine layers, charging in the direction of the battle fluctuations. He wanted to reunite with the three-tailed snake lady before she was killed.

However, before very long, the intense battle fluctuations suddenly stopped.

Silver Armor’s heart skipped a beat.

‘The three-tailed snake lady has been killed?!’

The three-tailed snake lady’s abilities were the weakest among the six overlords. This weakness was not just in regards to her overall abilities but also every other aspect. Without her two powerful lovers, Four Face and Silver Armor, she would not have otherwise been able to take her place as one of the six overlords, given her level of ability.

In all honesty, Silver Armor was not surprised that she had been killed by the Nine Gloom Vine in such a short time. It was just that the battle fluctuations had stopped rather suddenly.

‘No, that’s not right—the Snake Lady’s aura hasn’t dissipated yet!’ Silver Armor reacted immediately after a brief moment of astonishment.

However, another wave of intense energy fluctuations came from another direction almost simultaneously.

That other direction was where the Nine Gloom Vine had been since the beginning.

Although Silver Armor had not entirely figured out what exactly was going on, he turned without hesitation in the direction of this new wave of energy fluctuations and began forcing his way through.

With a sense of urgency, he charged toward the energy fluctuations, evading the vines that were obstructing him in every direction.

He sensed that the three-tailed snake lady’s aura only began to plummet and weaken after the last round of energy shockwaves.

‘The battle fluctuations that lasted for over ten minutes wasn’t the battle between Nine Gloom and the Snake Lady. It’s this one, the latest round of energy shockwaves!’

After a moment’s consideration, he was roughly able to hazard a guess at what had happened just now.

‘That old wretch Nine Gloom is really such a schemer!’

When he sensed the three-tailed snake lady’s aura dissipating, Silver Armor immediately felt that the pressure on him had significantly increased.

A two-against-one battle had now entirely become a one-on-one.

Although the three-tailed snake lady’s abilities were nothing to shout about, if she were still alive, she could at least still assist from the sidelines. Even if she could only cause minimal disruption, Silver Armor’s chances of winning would increase significantly.

However, he had no choice but to go one-on-one now.

…

After setting up a plan to get rid of the three-tailed snake lady, the pressure on the Nine Gloom Vine from losing an ally eased slightly.

In reality, he had come up with a new one-against-two scheme the moment Four Face departed. He had also swiftly come up with a plan to trick the three-tailed snake lady, taking into consideration every possible move that she might make.

In the end, out of all the possibilities, the three-tailed snake lady had finally chosen the one that benefited Nine Gloom the most and lost her life on the spot.

“Now there’s only you left…”

The Nine Gloom Vine’s countless vines converged into a giant boa constrictor. Lifting his head high, he looked across the distance at the faraway Silver Armor.

The next moment, the giant boa disintegrated and transformed into tens of thousands of tiny snakes which burrowed into the sea of vines.

Almost at the same time, the vines in the entire God Territory began stirring wildly.

At that very instant, the vines around Silver Armor seemed to go berserk. The intensity and frequency of their attacks began to increase significantly. Even the trajectory of their attacks began to become manic and strange, making it very difficult for anyone to predict.

Silver Armor found himself in an awkward situation, but only for a moment. After that, he settled into the new tempo of battle.

This sudden change out of nowhere did not put pressure on Silver Armor at all. Instead, it had an increasingly steadying effect on him.

There was no other reason beyond knowing that the Nine Gloom Vine was going to attack soon.

In reality, he had been rather worried in the beginning, in case the Nine Gloom Vine went head-to-head right away without doing any probing. After all, this was the Nine Gloom Vine’s territory. If he were to attack head-on, Silver Armor would be at a complete disadvantage.

Fortunately, the Nine Gloom Vine chose a more cautious opening gambit.

On the one hand, he used the vines as a means of suppression, taking advantage of the vines’ sheer numbers and frequency of attack to make Silver Armor reveal his weakness. On the other, he was also draining the Divine Power within Silver Armor’s body.

However, from this, Silver Armor deduced another piece of information—the Nine Gloom Vine was already lurking nearby.

This was because the Nine Gloom Vine had to be in closer proximity before he could launch a fatal attack the minute Silver Armor revealed his weakness.

In reality, the Nine Gloom Vine was intentionally conveying that message to increase pressure on Silver Armor.

As far as the Nine Gloom Vine was concerned, this was his territory. In his God Territory, the drain on his Divine Power was much slower. Therefore, the longer this battle dragged on, Silver Armor would be at a greater disadvantage. The more psychological pressure Silver Armor felt, the more chances of him revealing his weakness

…

On his end, Silver Armor was aware of this point as well.

However, he did not panic. He maintained the tempo of battle without revealing any weakness at all.

This state of affairs went on for over half an hour.

Suddenly, the Black Dragon Spear in Silver Armor’s hand vibrated. In the void, circle upon circle of black ripples began to spread like waves.

These circles of ripples were like sharp blades. In every area they passed through, the vines would be sliced into countless pieces.

The speed at which the waves were spreading was extremely fast. In practically an instant, they had spread to a radius of several hundred kilometers.

At that moment, Silver Armor did not pause at all. Suddenly, he jabbed forward with his spear and pointed in the air in a random direction.

Suddenly, a black shockwave shot out from the tip of the spear wildly, swallowing up the surrounding region within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

If one’s eyes were good enough to follow the speed of Silver Armor’s move, they would be able to see that within the area of attack in his field of vision, vines like tiny snakes were swallowed up by the waves.

All these tiny snakes did not seem to be affected by the slashing of the black ripples. Impressively, they were still in the form that the Nine Gloom Vine had split into earlier.

The moment the black shockwave swallowed up the tiny snakes, Silver Armor swiftly performed a hand seal. The red spark in his eyes blazed to full strength in an instant.

A giant black dragon materialized into concrete form above his head within a blink of an eye.

Almost the very instant its form consolidated, the giant dragon’s gaze locked onto a certain area swallowed up by the shockwave. With practically no hesitation, it opened its mouth and spat forth endless black Dragon Flames, engulfing the entire area again…
