Chapter 1465 1465. Arm
Adele felt shocked about that outcome. Her fiery bolt contained all the power accumulated since the beginning of the fight, but Ian had destroyed it with a simple blow.
Ian's aura didn't even go through any surge of power. His energy had remained the same. Adele could actually sense that the hybrid had used far less energy than before.
"I don't believe it," Adele said as she resumed slamming her hammers on the sky.
Ian didn't mind that, and he also resumed howling at her opponents. The two experts exchanged blows again, and neither of them managed to hurt each other.
Once Adele had amassed enough energy, she created two massive bolts that she didn't hesitate to launch at her enemy. Her hammers hit the fiery weapons' base and made them fly at high speed toward Ian.
Still, Ian blew again, and an immense force crushed the bolts before they could reach him. Adele's attack had failed, and she couldn't explain how that had happened.
"How can you do this?" Adele asked.
"Why don't you give up and tell us everything you know about the invasion in the Outer Lands?" Ian asked.
Adele snorted and resumed her slamming, but the same outcome happened again after she accumulated enough energy. She had even launched three bolts at that time, but Ian's blowing seemed the perfect counter to her abilities.
That exchange continued for a while. Adele would gather energy and launch it in the form of fiery bolts, but nothing she did could reach Ian. She felt hopeless about the whole matter, but she didn't want to give up so easily.
There had to be some trick behind Ian's law, and Adele wanted to uncover it. She couldn't accept defeat when her opponent had yet to show his true power.
Adele changed her approach. She kept accumulating energy, but she didn't stop any time soon at that time. Her aura continued to expand until her scarlet flames managed to illuminate the entire mountain's peak.
That energy then flowed inside her hammers, and veins bulged on Adele's arms and neck as she swung them. Her weapons gave birth to massive ethereal replicas that tried to crush Ian from below and above.
Ian blew before the massive hammers could touch him, and the weapons shattered when an invisible and untraceable force slammed on their surface. Adele's attack had failed again, and she didn't know what to think anymore.
"I will never surrender against an enemy that can only defend!" Adele shouted. "Your law might make your defense impenetrable, but I can pierce it as long as I have enough time."
"You could have told me that sooner," Ian replied. "If it's power that you want, I don't mind showing it."
The sky transformed after that line. An immense pressure landed on Adele's mind as soundwaves appeared in every corner of her battlefield.
Adele understood everything at that sight. Her attacks had never managed to destroy Ian's howls. His soundwaves had spread through the sky and hid in its fabric. It was a sneaky tactic that Ian had could deploy easily.
The amount of energy contained in the sky was so immense that Adele couldn't explain how a single solid stage expert could generate all of it. Ian's power was massive, but there was a trick behind it.
The soundwaves gave voice to Ian's howls. They carried his cries and enhanced them as they amassed in the sky. The hybrid had thrown so many of those attacks that the power accumulated in the area managed to scare away Noah and King Elbas.
"I can make all of this fall on you," Ian said. "I think being a prisoner of the Legion is slightly better."
Adele struggled to accept that outcome, but she eventually gave in. Her guild was no more. Only Boss Edna was still fighting. Ian even had a finishing blow ready for her. She could only take back her power and raise her hands to signal her desire to surrender.
Ian didn't hesitate to reach her and place a hand behind her neck. Adele couldn't do anything in that situation. The hybrid could kill her with the slightest pressure of his fingers.

"Are you stupid?" Boss Edna asked when she saw Divine Demon spitting blood. "Why didn't you block the attack?"
"Well," Divine Demon said as a broad smirk appeared on his face, "I like making things hard for me. It wouldn't be a challenge if I could go all-out since the beginning."
"I think you will need to," Boss Edna replied as her aura expanded.
When her influence touched the ground, countless metallic materials came out of the mountain's peak and converged toward her position.
The metals entered her skin without creating any injury. They fused with her body and transformed her figure. Her skin turned darker, and her size increased. Boss Edna became a five meters tall giant and looked down on Divine Demon.
"Wait!" Divine Demon shouted. "Don't you want to make a bet before starting the fight?"
"No," Boss Edna replied before shooting toward Divine Demon.
Her size didn't stop her from reaching a speed that left Noah speechless. She was even faster than Adele's bolts, and her physical strength seemed of the scale when it came to humans.
"Wait!" Divine Demon said as he rode a wave that formed under his feet to dodge the attack. "Are you really sure? Not even a small bet? A short exchange of lines?"
Boss Edna didn't answer and continued to chase Divine Demon. More metals came out of the mountain's peak and fused with her body to increase her physical prowess. The expert became faster, and her cultivation level also slightly increased during the pursuit.
"I hate those like you," Divine Demon said before heaving a helpless sigh.
His aura spread through the sky. The matter of the world began to flow toward his figure as its nature changed. Divine Demon found a mass of "Breath" of the water element around him when Boss Edna was about to reach him.
Divine Demon's smile vanished, replaced by a severe expression. Blood flowed out of his mouth as his focus increased. A red light came out of his eyes as the Divine Deduction technique began to consume his mental energy to give birth to techniques.
Boss Edna stretched her arm to deliver a fist toward her opponent, but Divine Demon waved his hand, and the water "Breath" around him flowed toward her limb to change its trajectory.
Boss Edna tried to kick him at that point, but Divine Demon's energy titled her leg before it could reach him. His palm then landed at the center of her chest, and a shockwave spread from that spot.
The expert took a step back after that attack, but Divine Demon wouldn't let her go so easily. He straightened his fingers, and the water "Breath" created blades around them. Divine Demon didn't hesitate to throw his new weapons at his enemy.
Boss Edna faced those attacks head-on. Her skin was too sturdy, and Divine Demon's attacks slid on it. His swords didn't even leave a mark on her.
More metals converged toward Boss Edna. Her skin grew darker as those materials fused with her body and increased her physical prowess. Divine Demon wanted to launch another attack, but blood suddenly filled his mouth and forced him to stop his offensive.
Boss Edna exploited that chance to punch at the Demon's head, but the latter managed to dodge at the last instant. Still, Boss Edna managed to touch his shoulder with her knuckles, and Divine Demon's right arm exploded during the impact.
