853 Chapter 853: Sudden Trap!
Lucia and the perfect copy excitedly walked toward the offering altar, but Tang Li Xue hastily stopped them: "Wait a minute~!"
Unfortunately, Tang Li Xue's warning was still one step too late as both Lucia and the perfect copy were already too close to the offering altar.
WEEEEENG~!
The entire offering altar was suddenly shining with bright white light!
"Damn it~! I knew this would happen! There is no way they would not install any protection to safeguard their treasures from being stolen!" Tang Li Xue anxiously said while she quickly tried to pull Lucia and her perfect copy away from the offering altar.
BANG~!
However, she could not get close to them at all because she bumped hard into an invisible wall and took a few steps back instead!
Both Little Loki and Yaya almost fell down from Tang Li Xue's shoulder, but they quickly held Tang Li Xue's collar to stabilize themselves.
Tang Li Xue rubbed her reddened forehead while hissing in pain.
Before Lucia and the perfect copy could react or think about how to get out from there, three silhouettes rapidly condensed on the offering altar!
Those three silhouettes were actually three different kinds of mermen, but their bodies were transparent as if they were only illusions.
The three different kinds of mermen equipped themselves with the three treasures that were floating above the offering altar before.
The crab-like crimson carapace merman grabbed the football-sized silver pearl.
The football-sized silver pearl melted, and the silver liquid covered the crimson carapace merman's entire body in an instant.
The crimson carapace merman suddenly wore a cool-looking silver armor that looked like an exoskeleton suit.
The burly purple merman was holding the golden trident. The golden trident let out a loud ringing sound as terrifying pressure spread out from it!
The mutant turtle... cough, I mean the muscular green merman wore a pair of pitch-black boots, and its body seemed to blend with the surroundings, then it completely disappeared from everyone's vision.
Both the crimson carapace merman and the burly purple merman rushed very swiftly toward Lucia and Tang Li Xue's perfect copy!
Lucia hastily activated her [Gigantification], and her body instantly enlarged to twenty meters tall!
BOOOOOOOOOMM~!
Despite being more than three times larger than the crimson carapace merman which was only around five meters tall, Lucia was still punched so hard by it that she was thrown off dozens of meters and crashed heavily onto the transparent wall!
It was clear that the silver armor that the crimson carapace merman was not only increased its defense but also increased its strength by many times!
Meanwhile, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was currently facing the burly purple merman!
The burly purple merman thrust its golden trident toward the perfect copy, but the perfect copy calmly used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to dodge it.
Just as the perfect copy thought how to counterattack, the golden trident in the burly purple merman suddenly changed direction without stopping or decreasing the speed as if it had locked on her, and it automatically chased after her!
No matter how hard Tang Li Xue's perfect copy tried to dodge or run away from it, the golden trident seemed to be able to predict her next movement and seal her escape route!
Without any other choice, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could only try to block the golden trident's attack instead.
Just before the golden trident could touch her, the perfect copy instantly activated her [Reflective Barrier]!
She even created another layer of transparent barrier with her [Energy Manipulation] to protect herself as insurance!
BAAAAAAANG~!
Who knew that the golden trident could actually pierce through the [Reflective Barrier] and the transparent barrier created with [Energy Manipulation] easily?!
PUFF~!
Luckily, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy managed to tilt her slender body a bit at the last moment, so the golden trident did not stab into her throat, but it stabbed deeply into her left shoulder instead!
"Cough, cough, cough... Something is not right with this damn trident!" The perfect copy coughed a few mouthfuls of blood while complaining in anger.
Then she quickly realized that the extremely cold energy poured into her body!
Her entire body was frozen in an instant, and she became an ice statue!
Before the perfect copy could do anything to break free from the thick ice that encased her entire body, the muscular green merman suddenly appeared right behind her and swung the double sabers in its grasp to behead her!
BOOOOOOOM~!
*Ding!
[(Sun And Moon Aegis) resisted a deadly blow for your perfect copy! (2/3)]
If not for [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s deadly blow protection, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy would have already detached from her neck!
But thanks to the muscular green merman's sudden sneak attack, the perfect copy managed to break out from the thick ice, and she quickly used [Wind Burst Step] to keep her distance from the burly purple merman and muscular green merman.
The real Tang Li Xue already put Little Loki and Yaya into her Dantian space a few moments ago.
When her perfect copy managed to get away farther from her foes, Tang Li Xue activated the [Swap] skill to exchange her location with her perfect copy, so she could pass the transparent wall created by the protective formation and instantly appear near the offering altar!
Then Tang Li Xue re-summoned her perfect copy to her side with [Twin Moon] divine ability and released both Yaya and Little Loki from her Dantian space.
Little Loki transformed to its Battle Form and unleashed her nine [Phantom Splitter] clones without any hesitation.
The situation of the battle quickly turned around and became three against fourteen!
Little Loki plus its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones, Lucia, Yaya, Tang Li Xue, and her perfect copy...
"Let's go, Yaya~!" Tang Li Xue urged Yaya in a solemn tone.
Yaya nodded with a serious expression as she turned into a green flash of green light and merged into Tang Li Xue's body.
*Ding!
[You have merged with Yaya and entered Divine Possession mode!]
Beautiful crystal-clear fairy wings grew on Tang Li Xue's back in that instant.
A silver tiara decorated with many glittering green gems appeared on the top of her head.
Tang Li Xue glanced at her perfect copy and said to her: "Leave these two to me and Little Loki, you can go and help Lucia instead."
"Okay~! But you better be more careful, that golden trident is very strange and powerful." The perfect copy warned Tang Li Xue before she rushed to help Lucia who was still fighting head-on fiercely against the crimson carapace merman.
But the muscular green merman was nowhere to be seen anymore. It seemed it had already become invisible again and waited for the right chance to deliver a fatal finishing blow just like before.
Tang Li Xue frowned in annoyance since she could not even sense the muscular green merman even with her [Extrasensory Perception].
Since they could not sense or find the muscular green merman, Tang Li Xue, Little Loki, and its nine [Phantom Splitter] clones could only gang up on the burly purple merman with a golden trident!
Right at this time, Lucia was actually facing great difficulty fighting against the crimson carapace merman clad in silver armor!
After getting hit heavily by the crimson carapace merman, Lucia used [Golden Light Spell] to cover her entire body with the transparent golden barrier to protect herself.
Then Lucia began to fight head-on fiercely in melee range against the crimson carapace merman!
[Blade Feather Slash]~!
[Rapid Peck]~!
[Tearing Claw]~!
Lucia unleashed a flurry of combo at the crimson carapace merman mercilessly!
CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~! CLANG~!
Unfortunately, all of Lucia's attacks were easily blocked by the crimson carapace merman's silver armor, and the crimson carapace merman remained completely unaffected!
The crimson carapace merman grabbed Lucia's neck with its crab-like claw hand, and it began to beat Lucia's body with its other claw hand rapidly!
BANG~! BANG~! BANG~! BANG~!
The sturdy [Golden Light Spell] barrier that protected Lucia's entire body was filled with cracks after the crimson carapace merman hit her dozens of times!
This could already show that Lucia's [Golden Light Spell] barrier was extremely hard to break!
Tang Li Xue's [Reflective Barrier] and transparent barrier created from [Energy Manipulation] would definitely have already collapsed after receiving two or three heavy punches from the crimson carapace merman!
Lucia tried to break free from the crimson carapace merman's grasp, but its pincer clamped her neck so tightly!
Without any other choice, Lucia could only cancel her [Gigantification] divine ability.
When her body shrunk rapidly, Lucia took this chance to get away from the crimson carapace merman's grasp.
With Lucia's extremely fast speed, the crimson carapace merman could not even catch up with Lucia when she kept her distance from it.
At this moment, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy had arrived by Lucia's side to help her fight against the crimson carapace merman.
"Don't worry, Lucia~! I am sure we can defeat that crab in a tin can easily if we work together!" The perfect copy comforted the embarrassing Lucia with her confident words.
