Although the Angel King had just landed, he lifted his right hand as if he was already well-prepared.
The eighteen pairs of angel wings bloomed in the holy glory and the illusionary image of the magnificent Mountain Paradise was behind his wings. As he lifted his hand, all the divine spirits and angels were singing and praising because of the upcoming sentence of justice.
Unlike the light of judgment cast by other saint cardinals and seraphims, or the light of judgment cast using the divine book, there was a small scale in front of Mecantron's chest. The left side of the scale was white and the right side black. It measured whether the person being sentenced should be sent to Mountain Paradise, to hell, or just be permanently destroyed.
The scale of sentence had also brought great order to the chaotic cosmos, turning the entire space into a "real" one!
The Scale of Justice was Mecantron's other legendary divine spell apart from God's Guard. The divine scale in the Holy Heilz Empire was a replica of it. The royal family of Holy Heilz Empire was very close to the Saint Truth, and the family members all had the blood power of seraphim.
The small scale weighed something invisible and made a deep, hollow sound. The scale had made the judgement: Natasha and Lucien were sinful!
Then the light of judgment directly shot out from the projection of the paradise!
The darkness had been driven away. Anything that was incompatible with this holy light had been driven away. This was the ultimate sentence of life and death!
Lucien was on full alert.
"Abrupt Magic Reverse!" He instantly cast.
A mirror drawn with countless complex and sophisticated patterns formed between them and the Angel King. It seemed that the mirror was connected to a different world!
The light of judgment hit the mirror and left a deep crack, and then it was reflected back.
This one single strike had almost completely defeated Lucien's mirror. That was the difference between a level-three legendary and a top legendary!
But that was already to Lucien's surprise. He expected that the Angel King's power was in the top ranks even among the top legendaries, so he was quite encouraged to see that his mirror could not only take this one strike but also reflect the power back!
Lucien wondered why this happened. Maybe it was because the power of the abyss had influenced him, or the landing was in a hurry so that he could not take all the power with him.
However, at this time, Clement had seized the chance and cracked the small diamond-like planet into pieces using Saint Cross. Now the Time Plate had been completely revealed in front of them!
The Angel King was here. Clement was going to take the plate away!
Suddenly, a streak of silver-grey sword light had reached in front of him through the time and space swirls. The formidable power of destruction had prevented him from grabbing the plate as Clement had subconsciously used Blessed Realm. It was no joke to be hacked at by the Sword of Truth!
There were ferocious blades hiding in the sword light, and they silently cracked the realm. Clement had no choice but to blink away from the plate and almost got devoured by a swirl.
The sword light was from Natasha. Lucien had sent the mirror closer to the Angel King and blocked the second light pillar. Meanwhile, his left eye shot a scorching red ray, which forced Mecantron to fold his bright wings, and thus Natasha's sword light could reach Clement without any barriers.
However, now the mirror had completely cracked.
Although the spell was very powerful, and within the same level, the mirror could reflect a spell five times, it also had some disadvantages. One of them was that the cool-down time for casting was too long. Although Lucien was wearing the robe of Grand Arcanists, he would not be able to cast the spell a second time within a couple of rounds.
Clement was encouraged, knowing that Lucien had fallen into a disadvantageous position. He would have enough time to take away the plate.
Natasha knew what he was thinking. She had instantly blinked to Clement.
Clement was a level three legendary. He believed that Natasha would not be his true rival by simply relying on two level three legendary items.
"Light of Judgment!"
Although the divine spells he knew were diverse, they were never as mysterious and unpredictable as magic spells. Therefore, using Light of Judgment was in most cases the best option for saint cardinals as it suited most occasions.
A light pillar shot at Natasha from the projection of Mountain Paradise.
Natasha stayed where she was and lifted the Shield of Truth. The ripples in the air covered her and put her into a separate dimension for protection.
After hitting the shield, the light of judgment burst out dazzling glory. However, it could not go through the shield.
Only some fine cracks appeared on the very surface of the black shield.
Seizing the chance, Natasha slashed at Clement with the long sword in her hand. The blade of the sword was covered in cold light.
Clement was torn into pieces by the sword light, but his face showed no pain or suffering at all.
It was just a fake replica of him! The real Clement had blinked to the plate to take away the plate using his divine power.
Clement knew that to use the most of the power of the shield, Natasha had to stay where she was. He was not such a fool to slowly consume the power of the shield.
Seeing that, Natasha frowned. Then without any hesitation, she jumped out of the protection at Clement to stop him.
That was exactly what Clement had expected. He cast Light of Judgment again, forcing Natasha to stop and defend herself with the shield.
In this way, Clement had come close enough to the plate. If it had been something ordinary, Clement would have been able to take it away from a great distance. However, since Time Plate was of legendary level and it had the power to resist to some degree, Clement had to get close enough to it.
Seeing that the plate was almost there, Clement was quite complacent about it. Relying on legendary items did not always work, obviously.
Natasha was very pissed and frustrated. But this had also triggered her fighting spirit. Her cold purple eyes were now filled with determination.
Natasha was frustrated at the situation and at the fact that she did not have enough power to fully use the power of the shield. If she had reached level-three legendary, she would have been able to extend the protection range much wider so that Lucien would have been able to get the plate.
Was she going to see Clement taking away the plate right in front of her? Natasha would not let that happen!
She started reflecting on how she had been fighting.
Her blood power was the Sword of Truth, and her knight faith was to charge, charge, and charge. She believed in defeating her enemies head-on, which contradicted the strategy of using the Shield of Truth.
Natasha asked herself why she would use something that she was not good at to fight? Was it because that was safer? Or because she was a coward?
The Sword of Truth was also a level-three legendary item!
If the Shield of Truth was pulling her back, then she'd better just leave it!
Natasha realized that owning the two legendary items was in fact a burden to her. She had been trying to combine them together, but now she had decided to drop one.
To get one must first be willing to give! That was what Lucien once said.
The best defense was a good offense!
The best shield was the good sword!
Her purple eyes were now filled with fighting spirit!
When Clement was feeling excited that he was finally getting the plate, he suddenly felt the formidable pressure.
He felt the sword light that was powerful enough to cut one's soul into pieces!
Clement never planned to die for the Angel King, so, of course, he would protect himself first. Using the legendary divine spell, he blinked to the other side.
He felt the cold sword light, but that was it. There was nothing else.
Clement sneered, for Natasha had put aside her shield.
"Light of Judgment!"
The sword light went head-on against the divine light and they crashed.
The light of judgment was shattered into fine pieces and then Natasha's figure flew out from it. Her face looked a bit pale.
Without hesitation, she launched an array of attacks with her Sword of Truth!
Clement was thus forced to keep running from the blade with no time to fight back.
"Are you crazy? It can't last long! I'll just wait a bit more before I kill you!" Clement yelled.
The silver sword light kept flashing around and that had become the only thing that Clement could see in the cosmos.
On the other side, Lucien was now slightly advantageous facing Mecantron. However, it seemed that Mecantron was not interested in a protracted war, who had directly cast Blessed Realm.
The projection of the seven-floored Mountain Paradise had become very clear, together with the figures of the six seraphim. Holy pillars of light hung down to him and provided him the wide protection of which the range was close to a hundred kilometers.
In the beautiful hymn, the milky light had lit up the entire cosmos and turned it into a "paradise". Lucien was thus prevented from getting close to the plate, while Mecantron had almost come close enough to get it.
Small light spots had gathered around the plate like little angels and lifted it. Together they were bringing it to Mecantron.
Time Plate's power thus contracted and the swirls in space were rapidly disappearing.
Mecantron believed that he was more powerful than Lucien. So he had given up the chance for defense to take away the plate. This meant that he had been ready to take Lucien's attack head-on.
Lucien was a bit confused. He wondered if Mecantron had ever watched his fight and seen his legendary spell, Snow Goddess's Forgiveness. The power of the spell would even severely hurt a top legendary, not to mention that Mecantron was now only using part of his power. Lucien was also wondering why Mecantron needed the plate.
However, Lucien still reached out his right hand. His monocle flashed the cold light,
"Snow Goddess's Forgiveness!"
