Chapter 496 : 495: Not Enough To Take Me Down
"Heaven's Pulse."
The moment Zal'Zerael said these words, a massive floating storm heart appeared above the draconic abomination.
It was a sphere of condensed lightning and wind, and every two seconds, it unleashed omnidirectional shockwaves of lightning. Gravity was warped in the surrounding area of four hundred meters (400m), pulling everything toward it including Pamela.
Pamela's eyes widened as she felt the sheer scale of the attack and the massive force behind the gravity pull.
Her fingers moved and countless connected runes formed around her, and the gravitational pull that was affecting her vanished. However, the same could not be said for the lightning bolts of the floating storm-heart.
The bolts fell relentlessly, their impact creating craters that vaporized everything within their radius. Pamela darted between the strikes, her movements precise and calculated, but even with her speed and foresight, the storm was relentless.
One bolt grazed her shoulder, the energy coursing through her body and forcing her to grit her teeth in pain. She grabbed her shoulder and glanced at it, but this was a mistake she should not have made, and the moment Pamela glanced at her shoulder, she instantly realized that she had a mistake.
Before she could react, every single lightning bolt of Heaven's Pulse changed its direction and attacked her.
A series of translucent barriers formed around her, each one spinning and overlapping in a complex pattern. Luckily for her, her autonomous shield activated, and gave her just a second before it shattered to pieces.
Without hesitation, she teleported to the ground, far away from the sphere of influence of the massive storm-heart. Her breathing was slightly heavier as she placed a hand on her injured shoulder.
She forced a smirk, and then she spoke, "Okay, Zal. You've got some tricks. I'll give you that."
"Zal?"
Zal'Zerael was rooted on the spot the moment it heard what Pamela called it.
The massive golden fireball which was akin to a sun slammed into the Living Cyclone Veil, the shifting cyclone of storms was engulfed by a golden flame, and for a moment it looked like Zal'Zerael had made a terrible mistake.
The shifting cyclone of storms was no longer just a cyclone of wind and lightning, it was now a cyclone of wind, lightning, and flames. And with Zal'Zerael at the eye of the storm, it was looking like it would become engulfed by a combination of its skill and Pamela's.
However, a few movements later, Pamela saw her golden flames being 'spat' out of the cyclone in completely random directions.
Pamela's silver eyes flashed with a calculating light as she observed the Living Cyclone Veil, but when she saw the swirling vortex of wind and lightning expand outward, she was forced to retreat as the sheer intensity of the storm threatened to consume her.
Pamela furrowed her brows deeply when she realized that the cyclone wasn't just a defensive barrier, it was actively hunting her.
Pamela clenched her fists, summoning a Runic Gate to teleport herself to safety, but before she could activate it, Zal'Zerael appeared behind her.
"You cannot escape me," it growled, its voice a mixture of thunder and malice.
It raised one of its claws, glowing with crimson lightning sparks, and then it swiped at Pamela with blinding speed.
The attack connected, but Pamela's reflexes were also quick. An extremely thick barrier appeared between her and the claw, and a loud screeching sound resounded across the entire Raging Sky and beyond it.
In the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and the attack connected, sending her crashing into the ground with a deafening impact. Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring her form as Zal'Zerael hovered above, its massive wings crackling with power.
For a moment, there was silence. Then, from within the cloud of dust, Pamela's voice echoed.
"Damn, you hit like a truck."
The dust cleared, revealing Pamela standing amidst the rubble, her clothes torn and blood dripping from a cut on her cheek. Her eyes glimmered with determination as she raised her hand, summoning a new series of runes.
"But if you think that's enough to take me down," she said, her voice sharp and confident, "you've got another thing coming."
