Chapter 1258: Final battle with demons (18)
This mark was the same as the mark that was on my hand.
At the same time, the aura that it gave off was the same as the one that my Mark of God gave off.
With this, there was no mistaking that this was a real Mark of God.
The only problem was why there was this Mark of God that suddenly appeared on Joan's head like this.
It didn't seem like the kind of thing that would just appear out of thin air, this was the kind of thing that seemed like it would only appear when it was bestowed by the gods. There was no sign that the gods had descended, so who had given Joan this Mark of God?
But the fact that Joan received this Mark of God allowed her to survive the attack that she blocked.
Because of the Mark of God, there was this faint layer of divine energy that appeared around Joan that blocked the damage from that wave of dark energy. It even seemed to purify the wave of dark energy that was hitting her.
After a while the wave of dark energy completely disappeared.
Joan looked down at where the wave of dark energy had been, as if she was confused by what happened. However, she didn't remain stunned for long as she recognized that the thing that had been threatening her was gone.
After all, there was still something else that still posed a threat to her.
Joan didn't know if it would work, but she suddenly reeled her head back and gathered flames in her mouth. As she did so, the Mark of God on her head seemed to activate again as there was a white light that flowed into her mouth.
It was as if the divine energy was being gathered in the flames that were gathering in her mouth.
The Death King had been idle for a few seconds as it could tell that its attack had been completely blocked.
It didn't seem to understand how that was possible, but it had happened.
The thing that snapped the Death King out of its daze and back to its senses was the feeling of danger that was coming from in front of it.
It could tell that whatever was happening was something that could actually harm it.
So it raised its sword again and gathered more of that dark energy.
It was just too bad that the Death King had reacted too slow to this.
By the time that it started gathering its dark energy, Joan had already almost finished flames in her mouth and was prepared to shoot it out. So the only thing that the Death King could do was release the dark energy as a slash before Joan could release her flame breath.
But that didn't help at all.
The moment that the Death King released his slash, Joan didn't panic at all as she finished gathering her breath and then released it right when the wave of dark energy was in front of her.
If this was before, her flames would have been corroded and destroyed by the dark energy. But this time, there was this faint light that seemed to be embedded inside of her flames. These flames cut right through the wave of dark energy coming at her, turning it into smoke on the wind. These flames had divine energy in them which was supplied by the Mark of God, so the dark energy just couldn't resist the flames at all.
The flame breath continued forward towards the Death King without any impediment at all while the wave of dark energy had been wiped out.
The Death King's blue flame eyes trembled when seeing this, but it wasn't idle as it started gathering dark energy around itself. It was using that dark energy as a form of defense against the flame breath.
It was just that by the time that the Death King started gathering this dark energy, it was already too late.
It wasn't able to gather up the power of its dark energy to form a powerful barrier. Instead, all that happened was that the dark energy was blasted away by the flame breath and the Death King had no choice but to use its own body to block the flames filled with divine energy.
These weren't flames that were made of divine energy, but flames that were injected with divine energy which made it stronger. After all, flames that were made from divine energy could have a lower concentration of divine energy.
With how much time Joan took to gather the divine energy into her flames, it was clear that these flames were just packed with divine energy.
It was not easy for the Death King to resist these flames.
After the flames finally disappeared, the Death King was revealed.
It hadn't been destroyed yet, but it did cut a sorry figure.
The flames had burnt and purified the armour that it had been wearing. There were even a few bones that were missing because of the flames that had burned them away.
At the center of the Death King's rib cage, there was an orb that was there.
This was the core of the Death King.
As long as this was taken out, then it would be over for the Death King.
But of course the Death King knew this as well, so it wasn't as if it would just let its core be destroyed that easily. It was only natural that the Death King would try to defend its core from being attacked.
That was where it started healing itself.
The bones that had been destroyed were replaced with bones from its back that shifted over.
It seemed that it was giving up defending its back and was focusing on defending its front
from Joan.
It was just that this was a mistake.
"Kacha!"
There was a loud cracking sound as something pierced through the core in the Death King's rib cage.
When it looked down, it found that there was a spike of earth that was piercing through the
core.
