Chapter 2405: Painful
'Goku, careful!'
Even though Grovan lost the chance to finish the twins, it didn't mean Crowley was blind. The moment the twins were sent flying by Grovan, Crowley forced Kanglia back with his superior power once again. In his eyes, the domains Rean and Roan were using were many times more dangerous than anything Kanglia could throw at him.
'Timeless Blades!'
Space contracted, creating hundreds of space-severing blades that fly at Rean and Roan from all sides. Rean and Roan had the Instant Recovery Skill, but Grovan's Water Laws and Power were still present in their injuries. It would take at least a few more seconds before they can move normally once again. Knowing about Grovan's power, Crowley was trying to take advantage of exactly that.
Yet, right when Rean and Roan were about to be cut to pieces, an enormous Black and White Birst appeared above them and covered the twins with his wings. Following that, Dark and Light Element burst into flames that covered its body.
'Dark and Light Divine Armor!'
Kentucky had finally made his appearance!
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom...*
The Spatial Blades, fused with Crowley's Elements, Laws, and Time Power bombarded Kentucky's body from everywhere. Yet, Kentucky had the highest defensive power of the twins' group, especially when he used his Dark and Light Divine Armor.
However, that wasn't all. Kentucky knew that Crowley's cultivation was much higher, so taking this attack head-on with just that would still cause him severe injuries, perhaps even killing him. That said, he didn't hold back and released his Regal Bloodline!
Immediately, his Feather Blades and Scales hardened even more. His organs got more robust. His Light and Dark Element increased, followed by an output even higher of Sky Energy and Spatial Powers. Minokawas had quite a high affinity with Spatial Powers to start with so that only increased with the Regal Bloodline.
Crowley saw that, and his eyes turned red. 'Just where the hell did this fucking bird come from?!'
Well, he obviously knew where. Kentucky was killing the Elemental Space Realm cultivators of his Vruve Organization moments ago, after all. However, due to Grovan's sudden attack, the appearance of the purple triangle treasure, and Crowley's opportunistic move, they all forgot Kentucky existed.
During this time, Kentucky, Bacia, and Culoj finally finished the last Elemental Space Realm Vruve without Grovan and Crowley noticing. Kentucky then told Culoj and Bacia to go help the others while he shot in Rean and Roan's direction. If it was only flying speed, Kentucky could be said to be as fast as Crowley. Not even the twins could beat him in that regard. Finally, he arrived right when Crowley's attack did and protected the twins.
Crowley almost vomited blood in a fury. It was one thing for Kentucky to appear. However, he could see that Kentucky was also able to completely defend against his attack. 'So what if you did?! Let me see how many more attacks you can hold while protecting these fuckers!' He didn't give up and was just about to launch an attack directly when he was forced to divert his attention once more.
*Bang!*
Kanglia and Crowley's Weapon met once again. Kanglia was breathing heavily, feeling immense pressure for dealing with Crowley alone. Yet, even though Crowley forced her back a moment ago, it wasn't enough to prevent her from coming back at him.
Meanwhile, Kentucky raised his wings, and the twins appeared under it. Rean and Roan looked above and could see several drops of blood falling over their heads. Sure, Kentucky defended against the attack with the help of his Regal Bloodline. Yet, the difference in cultivation was still very real, not to mention Crowley had the powers of laws on his side. Kentucky was still quite injured by the attack just now.
'Fuck! This shit hurt as hell! Are these his laws? So annoying! I can't use Rean's Instant Recovery properly,' Kentucky complained.
Rean, who used that respite to get rid of Grovan's Laws, smiled at him. 'That was a very good job nonetheless, Kentucky. We were able to keep our last trump card hidden for the future. Look, even Roan's cold expression seems to have a tinge of approval.'
Roan completely ignored Rean, though. 'Now, just focus on healing yourself. The idiot here, and I can already move.' He had to admit that Kentucky's timing arrival was very convenient.
Rean smiled, and the twins once again flew from the ground. Their injuries weren't completely healed yet, but they could definitely fight again. In the next minute, they would be completely fine. Of course, not counting the Divine Origin Energy they used to get to this point.
Death World and Life World once again fell over Crowley's head, immediately relieving the pressure on Kanglia.
Crowley was feeling like crying already. Alright, Grovan wasn't able to kill Rean and Roan. Alright, he couldn't kill Rean and Roan either. However... 'For fuck's sake! What are their bodies made of?! How are they recovering so fast?!' He could see with his Divine Sense that all the injuries in Rean and Roan's bodies were quickly closing, not to mention their bones had already been mended.
If he knew Rean and Roan would come back this fast, he would have retreated already. He truly thought that after his attack landed on Kentucky, it would take a long time for Kentucky, Rean, and Roan to appear on the battlefield again. Perhaps they would use his battle against Kanglia to flee instead. Yet, here they are, pretty much at full power once again. Everything in this battle today had crossed all his widest thoughts and beyond.
*Arrrrgh!*
Suddenly, another scream filled the battlefield. With a few of the Elemental Space Realm Vruves now dead, their group was the one holding the numbers advantage. Naturally, Bacia and the others joined hands and attacked the Vruves at a similar level as theirs.
Everything began to crumble on the Vruve Organization side, and there was nothing else they could do. In the end, Grovan saw himself forced to say a word he hadn't said in tens of thousands of years...
"Retreat!"
