Divine Emperor of Death Chapter 1988: Skylark Shreds The Void

Chapter 1988: Skylark Shreds The Void

Natalya watched Adlet Rayburn prepare his technique while she also prepared hers to counter him.
A large part of the area he was standing in became covered in a luminous silver light. It then condensed into an elongated yet curved stick that had a string attached to it at two ends.
Adlet Rayburn used the remaining luminous silver light to condense a half a meter long arrow.
"A bow and arrow?"
Natalya muttered before she felt a vague unease as she saw him nock the arrow in the bow, pulling the bowstring with it, causing space to tremble visibly.
"Skylark Shreds the Void!"
*Rrk!~*
Adlet Rayburn's staunch voice echoed as he let go of the bowstring when everyone could hear the sound of an arrow leaving the bow along with the wind shredding and space tearing.
Before the people could see what had happened, the silver arrow unceremoniously put a hole through Natalya's icy-blue lotus and shot past her, heading straight towards the barrier before it exploded.
*Boom!~*
Part of the barrier disappeared, replaced by a gaping spatial maw that tried to suck in its surroundings. Abruptly, the frames of the seatings had their own barriers activated, protecting the spectators.
"What great piercing power!"
The people couldn't help gasp in fright as they saw the icy-blue lotus explode right at the time the barrier exploded, almost sucking them in if it were not for the new barrier that suddenly activated to protect them.
Nonetheless, their thoughts about the arrow were similar to what Natalya thought as she dodged and fled.
And her instincts were spot on.
*Rrk!~*
Another luminous silver arrow shot towards her with tremendous speed. The silver arrow possessed a beautiful tail that was only visible to a few capable eyes, making them understand that it looked similar to the skylark's tail, adapting its laws. Most people couldn't even see how that arrow flew through the skies. They only got to see it when a part of the barrier was destroyed.
Still, the arrow tearing apart space could be clearly seen heading towards the Yin Lotus Fairy even if there was a delay in their senses! Could she dodge again without the support of her lotus?
The arrow contorted the space around it, so was dodging even possible?
The luminous silver arrow was already in front of Natalya before the people could even recognize it.
Just when a few capable ones thought she was going to explode like her icy-blue lotus because she still hadn't put her defenses in line, Natalya twisted her body strangely, the arrow shooting where her waist was supposed to be.
"…!?"
Adlet Rayburn's eyes almost bulged out from his sockets.
She actually dodged his arrow at such a range?
It must be known that he one-shot a High-Level Law Rune Stage Cultivator from thousands of kilometers away, yet Natalya could dodge his arrow while being less than thirty kilometers away? He couldn't help but feel that it was insane.
Nonetheless, before the spatial crack could grow and swallow, she slithered away like a snake in water in the opposite direction, dancing like a fairy in order to counter the force of the spatial pull.
"Your face looks like you never saw someone who practiced Yin Laws."
Natalya came to a stop as she commented, causing Adlet Rayburn to slightly blush. After all, those who practice Yin Laws most of the time could not be said to be powerful as those who practice Yang Laws, but the one thing they were good at was being nimble and light-footed enough to dodge something at close combat even if they do not see it coming as their sixth sense allow them to avoid danger.
However, he didn't speak on it and nocked another arrow from condensing the surrounding light around him as well as his, creating a distorting effect around him as though he was a black hole.
He let go of the arrow, unleashing it from its bow with immense preciseness.
Space rumbled and kept ripping apart along the trajectory of the silver arrow. However, Natalya dodged again, and she did so flawlessly while twisting her body at the last moment that garnered the awe of the powerhouses.
Adlet Rayburn didn't stop. He kept unleashing his arrows again, unable to believe he couldn't hit a target at such a close range. His bow skills have already reached a tremendous level that he possessed Level Seven Bow Intent and supported by Wind Laws and Light Laws, he had not missed a single target in his life before.
With Natalya being able to dodge them and while elegantly at that made him feel like his head was going to explode that he didn't care about his energy usage anymore, intending to hit her.
*Rrk!~*
It was an apocalypse within the battle stage. With each arrow launched, Natalya danced like a fairy with nimble yet precise movements, easily dodging the arrows that kept shooting past her, ending up destroying the barrier.
'All the thousands of sword he condensed is concentrated into that one single arrow...' Natalya figured, understanding why his attack could contain so much power.
It was enough to shatter her defense, and she mused that it was the case even if she used her full prowess.
Of course, it would be a different matter if she used Yin Fusion, but she didn't want to use it since she already had an advantage over him. It was beneath her to use Yin Fusion to attack him.
If Ivy Aries's devouring power wasn't so peculiar, she wouldn't have revealed that she possessed Yin Fusion as well, letting it stay hidden as a trump card.
However, what couldn't hit her wouldn't be able to damage her. Not only was she actively dodging but also not attacking him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the time to condense such a powerful arrow either. Therefore, she was not worried about being injured and practiced dodging those powerful and speedy arrows using this rare occasion.
If Adlet Rayburn learned of her thoughts, he might spurt a mouthful of blood from being treated as a practice. Since he didn't know of such thoughts and was just intent on hitting her at least once, he kept shooting his arrows made of Silver Radiant Skylark's Light.
However, no matter how he aimed, his arrows seemed to always miss.
Natalya made one full round around the battle stage, but the barrier had not healed yet as space was still stitching itself back.
Natalya glanced at the crowd. If she dodged again, the arrow would go straight to the spectators, hitting them into oblivion, or perhaps, the spatial crack might even twist it, causing it to curve and hit some other places. She then glanced at Adlet Rayburn, looking at him nock the arrow into his bow.
She suddenly stopped dodging and walked towards him in mid-air.
The air around her changed, becoming more icy and frigid. It was as though the space in the surrounding kilometers turned into a world of ice that even Adlet Rayburn felt a chill, pausing for a moment as he saw her actions.
"The lotus I summon is a very basic technique that can be used in numerous forms. The technique I'm going to show you is a true technique from the manual I practice."
*Rrk!~*
Adlet Rayburn strengthened his arrow even more as he heard her explain before he unleashed Skylark Shreds The Void.
Natalya took three steps forward and came to a stop. She raised a hand and abruptly pushed her hand towards the arrow.
"…!"
Many people who saw this scene became aghast, and even Davis felt his heart skip a beat.
*Bang!~*
Natalya forcefully received the arrow to her palm, but the strange thing was the arrow was stopped, trembling in front of her palm as it tried to pierce through a tiny field of yin energy that rapidly spun, lowering the speed and intensity of the Skylark Shreds the Void.
Even the luminous silver arrow's ability to tear the space was restricted in her hand!
'Why is it not exploding!? She contained the energy!?'
Adlet Rayburn became shocked to see before an epiphany hit him.
Her yin energy served to lessen the impact and also kept it from exploding, and just as he raised his hand to manually detonate his technique, Natalya clenched her palm into a fist, causing the silver arrow to crack. Its tail rapidly constricted as though it was going to collapse on itself.
The swirling yin field directly collapsed the silver arrow, causing it to shatter into silver ice shards.
