A cold light flashed in Scorpio's eyes, and its huge scorpion tail suddenly rose! The dark blue muzzle at the tip instantly glowed brilliantly!
Chii chii chii—!
Three concentrated, substantial dark blue venom beams, emitting a pungent, sweet smell, shot out like a snake's tongue, accurately striking the three weakest points of the gravity barrier!
"Libra!" Yukino exclaimed!
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The already precarious gravity barrier shattered like broken glass under the concentrated bombardment of the three venom needle beams!
The residual venom and shockwave instantly swept over!
"Water Stream Protection!" Yukino reacted extremely quickly, casting with both hands, and a soft, light blue curtain of water instantly enveloped her and Libra!
This was a simple water magic she had learned from Pisces.
Chii chii—!
The venom splashed onto the water curtain, making a corrosive sound, and the water curtain fluctuated violently, its color rapidly deepening!
The impact even forced the two of them to retreat repeatedly!
"Open! Gate of Pisces—Pisces!"
Yukino's eyes sharpened, and she summoned her Celestial Spirit without hesitation!
A golden key was inserted into the void!
Whoosh—!
A huge splash of water exploded out of thin air!
Two massive ribbon-fish Celestial Spirits, nearly ten meters long and covered in dreamlike scales, burst out of the water!
One was covered in scales as black as ink, exuding a profound chill.
The other was covered in scales as white as snow, surrounded by a gentle halo!
They were one of the Zodiac, the Pisces Celestial Spirits—Pisces!
"Black Tide: Undercurrent of the Deep!" Yukino pointed at Scorpio!
The black Pisces opened its huge mouth, and a dark water pillar containing extreme cold spewed out like a high-pressure water gun, freezing the air wherever it passed and instantly forming a thick layer of frost on the ground!
Its target was Scorpio, who was manipulating the sandstorm and venom needles!
"White Wave: Purifying Stream!" Yukino simultaneously pointed at Sculptor!
The white Pisces, on the other hand, spewed out a warm and purifying white stream of water, like a holy light torrent, meeting the blue energy beam shot from Sculptor!
The light stream and the beam collided, making sizzling sounds of annihilation, and a large amount of energy was neutralized and purified!
"Gemini! Continue to interfere!" Angel frowned slightly and immediately gave the order.
Jemi and Mini once again pointed at the Pisces brothers, attempting to copy their water magic!
But the power of the Pisces brothers was clearly stronger and more fundamental; having just copied Libra's gravity magic, the Gemini's copying process now became extremely difficult, and the effect was greatly reduced!
The battle instantly escalated! Sandstorms, venom needles, energy cannons, freezing breaths, purifying light streams, gravity interference, silver arrows flying… magical energies of various attributes wildly collided and exploded in the narrow valley!
Rocks were easily pulverized, the ground was ploughed with deep ravines, and the air was filled with chaotic scents of burning, sweetness, cold, and heat!
Yukino commanded her Celestial Spirits with full concentration, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.
The more she fought, the more alarmed she became; not only were her opponent's Celestial Spirits powerful, but her command was also extremely seasoned. What made her even more confused and uneasy was that her opponent seemed… always avoiding her vital points in battle?
Those seemingly dangerous attacks always had a slight deviation in angle?
Moreover, the complex and struggling look in those eyes hidden beneath the silver hair, when looking at her, became increasingly obvious.
A bold thought, making her heart pound, uncontrollably emerged.
"You…" Yukino, gasping for breath during a lull in a magic clash, stared intently at Angel, "Who exactly are you? Why… do I feel like I know you?"
Angel's movement, as she controlled Scorpio to block a freezing breath, paused slightly.
She didn't answer, but her eyes grew darker, and her attacks seemed to become a bit more "soft."
"Answer me!" Yukino's voice carried a tremor and urgency she herself didn't notice, "Your hair… your eyes… your magic… and you… why… why do you remind me of…"
Fragments of blurred childhood memories flashed through her mind… a little girl with similar silver-white hair, holding her hand and running in the sunlight… later… later there was only endless darkness and cries of separation… "Sister…?" Yukino's voice was very soft, carrying an unbelievable tentative hope and immense longing, as if she had been searching in the dark for too long and finally saw a glimmer of light, "Sorano-nee-san… is that you?"
