Chapter 212 Lucy Vs Gale Overlord
Lucy's white wings flared briefly as she stopped before the throne, folding them behind her. Her golden aura shimmered faintly as her Angel of Redemption: Gabriel gift pulsed around her, radiating with divine energy.
She spoke, her voice unyielding and commanding. "You've hidden behind storms and pride for long enough. Submit to the unification, or fall."
The Gale Overlord rose slowly, his cane tapping the stone floor.
With every step forward, the winds around him coiled tighter, their fury rattling the chamber. "Your light may have blinded the weak among us," he said, disdain lacing his tone. "But no storm bows to the light."
Lucy smirked, her golden aura intensifying. "Good," she said, spreading her wings wide.
The radiance of her feathers reflected the divine brilliance surrounding her, a stark contrast to the oppressive winds in the chamber. "I'd hate for this to be boring."
With a sharp motion, the Gale Overlord raised his cane high.
The runes along its surface glowed fiercely as he unleashed a torrent of razor-sharp winds. The chamber trembled as the winds surged forward, their sheer force distorting the air itself.
Lucy surged forward, her Angel of Redemption: Gabriel gift absorbing the winds into her golden barrier.
The radiant energy dissipated the storm into harmless breezes as her power clashed with his. The fortress quaked as their abilities collided, the air alive with the crackling tension of opposing forces.
The Gale Overlord struck the ground with his cane, sending shockwaves of compressed air rippling through the chamber.
"You dare challenge the storm?" he roared. The winds twisted into massive cyclones, converging toward Lucy with devastating precision.
Lucy's expression remained calm, though her golden eyes glinted with cold resolve. Her barrier expanded outward, shining brighter as it intercepted the cyclones and unraveled them into harmless gusts.
"You're strong," she admitted, her voice steady amidst the chaos. "But strength without purpose is meaningless."
The Gale Overlord's storm surged again, filling the chamber with a deafening roar. He swung his cane, the air rippling with controlled fury as blades of wind streaked toward Lucy.
Despite his age, his attacks were calculated and relentless, pressing her back with the precision of a master combatant.
Lucy, however, was unyielding. Her divine aura twisted the winds into submission, her light overpowering the gale.
She surged forward, meeting his relentless attacks head-on, her barrier absorbing and converting his power into her own strength.
"You've ruled with the storm for centuries," Lucy said, her voice cutting through the cacophony. "But your storm lacks direction. It's time for it to end."
The Overlord's eyes narrowed. He raised his cane once more, the runes along its length glowing brighter. With a final cry, he unleashed the full force of his power.
The winds converged into a single, devastating strike that tore through the chamber, aimed directly at Lucy.
Lucy met the attack head-on, her golden barrier shimmering with divine brilliance. The gale crashed into it with the force of a hurricane, but her shield held firm.
Slowly, the light consumed the winds, purifying their strength until nothing remained.
The Gale Overlord staggered, his flux faltering as exhaustion began to take hold. His cane trembled in his grasp as he glared at her with defiant eyes.
"You think you can erase me?" he rasped. "I've withstood countless challengers. I am the storm!"
Lucy stepped forward, her radiant aura glowing brighter, her wings unfurling majestically. "And I am the light that ends the storm," she said, her voice sharp and final.
With a commanding motion, she raised her hand, releasing a pulse of golden flux.
The wave of divine energy surged forward, engulfing the Gale Overlord. His flux unraveled under its overwhelming force, and his body crumpled to the ground as his storm faded into silence.
The chamber was eerily still, the once-raging winds now a faint memory.
Lucy stood over the fallen Gale Overlord, her presence radiant and imposing. Her golden wings spread wide as she surveyed the scene.
"The Gale Continent belongs to me now," she declared, her voice echoing through the empty halls.
With a final glance at the Overlord's lifeless form, Lucy turned and strode toward the exit. Her white wings spread wide as she ascended into the open air, the winds parting in her presence.

Aurielle plummeted into the fray, her violet flux swirling around her in gleeful abandon.
The nearest corrupted dragon, a hulking beast with emerald scales tarnished by crimson flux, turned its head toward her and unleashed a guttural roar. Flames, tainted and erratic, burst from its maw, racing toward her.
"Oh, you're adorable!" Aurielle teased, her tone dripping with mock sympathy. She raised her hand and flicked her fingers. "Let's fix that."
A shimmering sphere of energy materialized in her palm. "Purification Gift: Cleansing Torrent!" she declared, hurling it forward.
The sphere burst mid-air, releasing a radiant wave of energy that engulfed the dragon. Its corrupted flux hissed and evaporated as the beast let out a confused growl. Its emerald scales glistened anew, free of the taint.
Aurielle clapped her hands together, her laughter ringing out. "All better! Now go nap or something."
As the dragon lumbered away, its threat neutralized, a deafening crack of thunder shook the sky.
Aurielle turned her gaze upward, spotting a massive dragon descending from a swirling storm cloud
Fulminis, the Lightning Dragon Overlord, made his entrance with an electrifying display of dominance. His shimmering purple scales glowed with arcs of lightning that danced across their surface, and his eyes burned with a fierce violet hue, exuding raw elemental power.
The air crackled with energy, charged by the storm swirling above.
Fulminis's voice rumbled like thunder, resonating through the valley. "A human dares to meddle in the Dragon Continent? You've made a grave mistake."
Aurielle grinned, her violet eyes sparkling with delight. "Oh, but I love making mistakes. They're so fun!"
Fulminis roared, unleashing a torrent of purple lightning. The bolts split the sky, converging on Aurielle with blinding speed.
She raised a finger, and a thin barrier of flux materialized around her.
"Gift of Reflection: Oopsie Shield!" she giggled.
The lightning rebounded off the barrier, arcing wildly and striking a nearby mountain. Rocks exploded, and the ground trembled as Fulminis let out a growl of frustration.
Fulminis snarled, "Your arrogance will cost you, human."
