Chapter 274 Iza Dumu'an (Request for Monthly Votes)_4
Fusing the power of the Miracle Entity with oneself, indeed, is a method for the Master of Miracles to protect himself and to struggle against formidable foes.
Because when the two become one, the output of the miracle is no longer a mere 1, but becomes 2.
Twice the Miracle Power!
If originally one could only battle a single person, now, it would be two.
However, the mere two were far from enough to stand against Dawnlight; Bailuo still needed strength, and he had to endure even more.
But Bailuo overestimated himself and underestimated the terror of miracles.
Ideal and folly are hostile camps; if he had merely fused with folly or ideal, say, ten artifacts of the Ideal type or ten of the Folly type, Bailuo might experience physical exhaustion and pain, but he would bear no mental burden.
But now, how many factions' miracles had Bailuo fused with?
Pegasus, Northbound Land.
Lilith, Ideal Coast.
Ancient Chronicles, Dawn and Dusk.
Lyon, the Old Feast of Folly.
Four factions, representing four different ideologies, were simultaneously rushing into the depths of Bailuo's soul, reshaping his very origin.
Bailuo felt as if ropes were tied around his neck and limbs, as if a force wanted to tear him apart, to be quartered and ripped to pieces!
"Xiao Luo!"
At the critical moment, Isefia grabbed Bailuo's arm.
The surging Miracle Power found an outlet, and endlessly, whether it was power or thought, streamed from Bailuo's body into his senior sister.
"Hiss!!"
Fortunately, the senior sister was different from Bailuo; she was a Miracle Entity that had undergone transformation by Miracle Power once and was not an ordinary mortal like Bailuo.
The mental fragmentation that Bailuo couldn't bear, the senior sister could endure.
"Hold my hand."
The senior sister didn't merge into Bailuo's body again but stood there, holding his hand, while the other grasped the Avalon Holy Sword, "Use me as a weapon, hold on!"
"Boom!"
Dawnlight attacked once more, and this time, the assault was even more astonishing than the previous ones.
"Get lost!!!"
Isefia swung the Holy Sword, unleashing the limits of five miracles all at once, and for the first time, truly managed to repel Dawnlight.
"Boom!!"
But Dawnlight, having met resistance, became even more ferocious.
"Feiya!"
The senior sister repelled Dawnlight, but her body overloaded once more, and Bailuo regained consciousness. Then, he quickly pulled the still ready-to-strike Isefia into his arms.

In his left hand, he conjured a second Avalon Holy Sword and blocked the assault of Dawnlight.
"Ping!!"
The power of five miracles transferred from Isefia's body to Bailuo, the pressure of power was on him, while the mental pressure was endured by Isefia.
"Glalalala."
Dawnlight's attacks were endless, but Bailuo's body had its limits.
Forcing himself to use power beyond the ultimate limit, Bailuo also felt the agony of the miracles disintegrating.
But he couldn't stop because the moment he got distracted even a bit, Dawnlight would penetrate the barrier they had woven and fall upon the Yatun Archipelago.
"Dumu'an!"
The Empress of the East fought desperately to suppress her injuries; she wanted to help Bailuo, but Dawnlight continuously drained power from her, yet threw the pressure back onto her to endure.
It was like someone using your ID to commit crimes everywhere, and when the police come knocking, they claim you're guilty without asking questions.
"You despicable, shameless bastard! Coward!!!"
Ying Muyao had never suffered such humiliation. She was furious and incredibly worried, but, regrettably, she was powerless.
Turning to look at the senior sister and Bailuo, the two coordinated perfectly, visibly engaging in a life-or-death struggle with Dawnlight, yet managing to display a dance-like grace amidst the storm.
"..."
Bitterness, reluctance, and even a trace of envy.
But regrettably, Ying Muyao had to admit, compared to herself, Isefia understood Bailuo better.
"Dumu'an..."
Looking up again, Ying Muyao gazed at the Dawnlight above.
"It's time to end this."
The Master of Dawnlight drew the Sword of Genesis from his waist, the true entity of Dawnlight; he held it high, and then like swinging at nothing in front of him, he quickly brought it down.
"Die here," said the Master of Dawnlight: "Yatun."
"Boom!"
In front of Bailuo and his senior sister, Dawnlight was no longer aloof. It aimed its sword tip towards the middle of the two, then with a force that was unstoppable, unresisting, and unblockable, it pierced through the cosmos.
"Its target..."
"Hand!!"
Bailuo and his senior sister exchanged a glance, then both of their gazes landed on their tightly clasped hands.
The Master of Dawnlight realized the reason Dawnlight was blocked was because Bailuo and his senior sister shared each other's burdens, so separating them would lead to their downfall.
However, if Bailuo and his senior sister let go, then facing Dawnlight's next strike, they would surely die.
"Let go."
His senior sister tried to let go, but Bailuo held on tight.
Both of them released the Miracle Power to resist the falling Dawnlight, but no matter how much strength they put forth, Dawnlight still drew closer bit by bit.
"Xiao Luo! Let go!!"
The senior sister struggled to break free, but she was powerless due to Bailuo's will, "Why?!"
"There's no why."
Bailuo knew what his senior sister wanted to do; she intended to let go, and then with her body, take another deadly strike from Dawnlight for Bailuo.
That way, Bailuo could survive.
"It's just a death."
Bailuo didn't want to let go of his senior sister's hand, even if letting go was the right thing to do.
Yet, for some reason, Bailuo instinctively felt that if he let go, some kind of belief would leave him.
"If I could reject her and declare war on her with the entire Yatun..."
