Chapter 857 - Too Strong

"You're not going to win. Even now, you are barely stopping me from defeating you." Eric's voice echoed inside the building.

"Do you think?"

"Hmph. Don't be too complacent. Leonardo won't be able to arrive in time." Eric snorted.

"Then, let me see." Valerie harrumphed and stomped the ground as hard as possible.

The ground shook a little, but it didn't break as Eric had reinforced them. Even if they broke, Valerie might still think it didn't.

Seeing Valerie's attempt at destroying the floor, Eric used it as his next attack pattern.

Ten small hands emerged from the ground and caught Valerie's feet as another deformed baby's face came out.

Valerie gritted her teeth and used all her strength to kick the baby's head, resulting in her breaking free from the tiny hands as well.

After that, a pair of white wings appeared on her back, making her look like a real valkyrie. She flew upward to confuse Eric, but the latter simply replicated Valerie's God Killing Spear.

The God Killing Spear contained all Valerie's strength, so even though this one was just a replica, its strength wasn't ordinary.

"You are just a fake." Valerie gritted her teeth. Instead of calling her God Killing Spear from the sky, she called it from the ground.

The emerging spear struck this fake spear and shattered it after a two seconds clash. After that, Valerie raised her hands. Her Magic Power compressed the God Killing Spear into a single normal spear that she could use with one hand.

But she had no intention of using this kind of spear because she needed to continuously compress it, resulting in a huge amount of Magic Power being drained every second.

Instead of wasting her Magic Power, Valerie used this chance to locate Eric's position and threw her spear in his direction.

As though she had aimed perfectly at the enemy, there was a shadow that stopped the God Killing Spear with the sheer amount of his Magic Power. It was clear this was Eric Griffith.

The God Killing Spear then exploded and engulfed Eric Griffith. The power of illusion suddenly vanished as she finally saw the ruined building again.

Since she had done enough, she planned to tear down this place and buy enough time for Leonardo.

To do that, she needed to destroy it with a single blast of the God Killing Spear from above. She leaped to the ceiling and went through the ceiling, creating a small hole in the roof.

But right after she passed the ceiling and came out of the building, she detected a presence behind her. It was none other than Eric Griffith.

He grabbed Valerie's wings and stopped her. But to add more damage to her, Eric ripped those two wings apart.

"Argh!" Valerie screamed in pain as though the wings were truly grown out of her back.

Without giving her a chance, Eric clasped his hands together and smashed Valerie's chest plate.

*Crack!*

"Gah." Valerie coughed and spat out the acid from her stomach as her body crashed to the ground.

After that, Eric spread his hands as the ceilings and pillars began to crumble, falling on top of Valerie to bury her alive.

Boom.

Bam.

Boom.

The rubble hit each other and snapped into pieces, but the weight was still enough to pressure her.

Not wanting to be defeated by this, a white light appeared and pushed all the rubbles away, revealing Valerie, who had fallen to her knees.

"Kh.." Valerie gritted her teeth as she stood up after getting buried under the concrete. The weight alone wasn't that much of a problem, but the concrete had been reinforced by Eric, so it was hurt more than she originally expected.

Blood flowed out of her mouth. Even though her armor protected her whole body and prevented any penetration, getting hit by a blunt object was still painful.

Now that the situation wasn't in her favor anymore, Valerie took a good look at what she had been doing until now and analyzed it, hoping to see Eric's weakness.

Right before Eric launched another attack, Valerie tried to run in a single direction to escape from his illusion realm. Yet, no matter how far she ran, the illusion felt like it never ended.

It might be the illusion that tricked her and made her actually go back and forth while thinking she ran in the same direction, or the illusion might have been following her, preventing her from waking up from this illusion.

Since it was useless, she then placed her hand on the ground as the light on her hand started to spread. Her wings reappeared as she prepared to break free from this illusion.

Unfortunately for her, four Erics suddenly appeared in front of her as they all punched forward at the same time.

Valerie covered her mouth with both arms, stopping the pressure from hitting her mouth. Normally, she would use this one gap on the mouth to bait her enemy into attacking this one particular spot where she could encounter them with a deadly attack.

Sadly, Eric Griffith was too strong for her, stopping her from doing so.

She crashed to the wall as various swords appeared and stabbed her wings, pinning her to the wall.

"This is our difference in strength." Eric made his appearance again, looking at Valerie with a calm expression as though this wasn't even a hard fight for him. "You can't do anything. No matter how hard you struggle, you won't be able to go against me.

"Now that you have actually tried to destroy the Griffith Family, I shall administer the punishment." Eric smirked as he laughed crazily. "After those cheap men break your spirit, I would turn you into a puppet that would break Ray apart."

Both Valerie's hands were wrapped in light as she planned to struggle until the last second.

But before she could do that, the illusion was cut at the top as the rest of the dome-shaped illusion crumbled like glasses.

Leonardo was standing on top of the ceiling, looking down the hole that directly connected to their level. This was the hole that Valerie had created previously.

"It's time for you to die." Leonardo squinted his eyes as a huge armored knight emerged from his feet, staring at Eric.

The peak fight had finally arrived.
