The deep "sea" instantly devoured the brilliant ball of light, causing the entire "Unshadowed Domain" to darken significantly.
Bolts of silver lightning burst out from within, turning the area where Enuni and Colin Iliad were fighting into a forest of lightning.
Amidst the sizzling sounds, countless bolts of lightning darted across the surface of Colin Iliad's silver armor. They surged upwards and drilled into the gaps in the visor.
This Silver Knight, who had revealed his incomplete Mythical Creature form, immediately stiffened, as though he had been paralyzed by the lightning. As for Enuni's black armor, which seemed to be formed from the power of "Degeneration," he had completely absorbed the lightning, preventing his main body from being affected by his disintegration.
Seizing this opportunity, Enuni, who was constantly falling black fragments, held the heavy greatsword with both hands and slashed diagonally forward. And at this moment, Colin Iliad hadn't completely recovered from his paralyzed state.
With a piercing sound, a deep crack appeared on his left shoulder. The sturdy silver armor seemed to have lost its defense as it was cleaved apart by the heavy, straight greatsword.
This was the Black Knight's Blade of Spirit and Flesh. Not only could it corrode flesh and blood, obliterate souls, and slash through barriers, but it could also render any creature with Degeneration defenseless. It was the core Beyonder power of a Black Knight, and it originated from the Degeneration domain.
Seeing that the Blade of Spirit and Flesh had sliced through the silver armor on Colin Iliad's left shoulder, causing the crack to rapidly deepen and head straight for his heart, Derrick tensed up. He immediately condensed a spear that seemed to be formed from pure sunlight as it crackled. He waved his arm and threw it at Enuni.
Unshadowed Spear!
Enuni didn't give up on attacking, nor did he dodge. All he did was raise his remaining black wings and use them to cover himself.
Sizzle!
The Unshadowed Spear pierced through the two layers of black wings and erupted with a blinding white light, making it seem as though a miniature "Sun" had risen.
At the same time, Colin Iliad's entire body melted, turning into a pool of silver metal liquid.
The liquid quickly flowed and reformed Colin Iliad's body in the distance. He was still in the form of a giant and was still wearing silver armor. However, half of the City of Silver's Chief's left shoulder and arm had fallen to the ground. The cut was clean, and no blood flowed out.
Relying on "Mercury Transformation," Colin Iliad paid the price of an arm to dodge Enuni's fatal strike.
His gaze behind the visor did not waver in the slightest. Holding the remaining Sword of Dawn, he once again charged towards his target. He was like an unusually terrifying steam train that exceeded its own speed limit.
On the other side, Derrick quickly condensed the Unshadowed Spear and sent the spears of light flying at Enuni.
In the process, he opened his mouth and said solemnly,
"God said the purification is effective."
This was the manifestation of a Notary's Beyonder powers at the Unshadowed stage.
It was so compatible with the Unshadowed Domain created by the Sun Saint that the battlefield became much brighter, causing the depraved aura on Enuni and Lovia to weaken once again.
"God said it's ineffective!" The Sun Saint immediately denied Derrick's "words," causing the purification effects of the Unshadowed Domain to return to its previous state.
Amidst the crackling sounds, the Unshadowed Spears flew towards Enuni. As for the black wings on the Black Knight's back, they had already faded and disappeared under the "illumination" of the miniature Sun. Less than half of them were left.
Seeing the dazzling, pure spears of light coming at him one after another, while he was entangled by Colin Iliad, making it difficult for him to effectively dodge, Enuni spread out his pair of illusory black wings and disintegrated into a swath of "darkness."
As soon as the Unshadowed Spears came into contact with the "darkness," they were stained with a layer of viscous pitch-black darkness. They were either instantly corroded and broke apart, penetrating into the magnificent staircase, or drawing an arc in midair before turning around and rushing towards Derrick Berg.
At that moment, all of them had fallen.
Upon seeing this, Derrick followed his combat intuition, which he had developed from his long training and patrolling. He suddenly leaped forward and continued rolling. Sizzle!
Sizzle!
Pitch-black spears landed behind him, corroding a large portion of the staircase.
At this moment, the Sun Saint was also throwing the Unshadowed Spears and creating Pure White Rays, forcing Lovia to use one of the souls she Grazed to constantly "Flash" and begin attempting to approach the enemy.
What made her regret was that in such a state, she could only use the powers of one soul at a time. She couldn't "Flash" and condense the "Silver Rapier" to slash at the Sun Saint from afar to create an opportunity for herself.
On the other side, Klein and his "shadow" were engaged in an abnormally intense battle. Amidst the sounds of Air Cannons, scarlet flames soared up one after another. Pieces of paper scattered in all directions as the illusions turned into bubbles.
The Silver Knight marionette had basically suppressed the Spectator Saint. After all, no matter how powerful the mind dragon's body was and how powerful it was, it wasn't a match for a demigod of the Giant pathway in close combat.
Of course, the Spectator Saint wasn't in danger either. After all, he had revealed an incomplete Mythical Creature form. If not for the fact that his opponent was only a marionette, and that Klein had already digested the Sequence 3 potion and had seen many high-level creatures, he could've used the prominent godhood to interfere with his opponent's thoughts, making him gradually turn irritable and lose his rationality.
Without the advantage of the godhood's influence, the Spectator Saint could only use the Hypnotist's Combat Hypnosis to force the target to do abnormal actions, such as attacking the wrong spot. Then, he could use this to escape the entanglement and enter the Psychological Invisibility state again to attempt a sneak attack on Klein.
The Hypnotist's Combat Hypnosis could forcefully hypnotize the enemy in battle, making them do all kinds of abnormal actions. However, this action couldn't directly harm the hypnotized person, nor could it be maintained for too long. The target would quickly wake up.
Of course, the target of the Spectator Saint's Combat Hypnosis was definitely not the Silver Knight marionette. This was because it was essentially a dead person, immune to all mental influences. The target of his interference was the thoughts Klein transmitted through the Spirit Body Threads, so as to make the marionette receive an error in the information it received, making it do something that didn't match Klein's intentions.
In fact, this was already mental interference and not mental hypnosis. The effects were undoubtedly inferior to the original version, but not every saint of the Spectator pathway could grasp such an application. It was a result of digging deep into one's Beyonder powers and experimenting.
To the Spectator Saint, this was something that couldn't be helped. This was because be it Mind Deprivation, Mind Storm, or Mind Breath, none of them were effective on a marionette.
This grayish-white dragon with a shadow covering its head had attempted to approach Klein several times or use area-of-effect Beyonder powers, but it was stopped by the Silver Knight marionette. It was forced to dodge by the silver rapier that could explode within its body.
As Klein controlled his marionette, he distanced himself from the Spectator Saint and dealt with his shadow. It wasn't too easy, but it wasn't too much of a burden either.
Suddenly, his spiritual perception stirred as he entered a lucid state after his dream and mind were secretly invaded.
With this lucidity, Klein allowed a portion of his consciousness to rise under the spirituality sky and look down at his mind island.
Then, he saw the shadowy Enuni, who gave off an aged vibe, walk out of the illusory and boundless sea of collective subconscious and open the door to his Body of Heart and Mind.
This Spectator Saint didn't attempt to modify the consciousness in Klein's mind island. All he did was pinch out a dark ball of light with tentacles growing outwards, turning it into an undetectable "seed" that landed on the ground.
The sourceseed of Mental Plague!
Without any hesitation, Klein immediately switched positions with the Silver Knight marionette, preventing the seed of Mental Plague from taking root in his mind island.
The Spectator Saint sensed this change, but not only was he not disappointed, he even revealed a smile.
This was because he had long used his Virtual Persona to secretly plant the seed of Mental Plague in the Silver Knight marionette's dead island of consciousness. Although it couldn't affect the marionette, it could unknowingly corrupt the enemy who had switched positions with the marionette, as well as the other targets in the surrounding area.
This was a kind of corruption and infection that targeted the island of consciousness and the mental World. It wasn't a direct attack, so it was difficult to use Virtual Persona to offset it.
When the time came, the problems that Klein had temporarily hidden with his Virtual Persona would completely erupt. He would quickly lose control, and there would be no way to reverse it!
Shadow was no stranger to such a situation, because Hvin Rambis had once used a similar method.
As he snickered at how his true body had become crazy, rash, arrogant, and resembled a clown, forgetting the lessons of the past, he snapped his fingers, summoning a scarlet stream of flames. He used it to leap over and hold back Klein.
This was another intense battle in which paper fragments flew everywhere as illusions were destroyed.
Before long, Klein suddenly stopped. He raised his left palm, which was formed from the twisting translucent maggots, and covered the left side of his face in a similar state.
"Hahaha, hahaha." He let out a maniacal laugh as he controlled the Spirit Body Threads around him like a madman, no longer distinguishing between friend and foe.
On his right cheek, light-colored flesh protruded, as though they were Worms of Spirit that were about to drill out.
Seeing that Klein had gone crazy and was about to lose control, Shadow was worried that he would be infected by the Mental Plague. He hurriedly made a scarlet flame leap up and engulf himself.
In the distance, his figure leaped out of a stream of flames that had yet to extinguish.
At this moment, the Silver Knight marionette would occasionally attack or dance in a convulsive manner. It was obvious that it was under abnormal control.
He was powerless to stop the mind dragon that the Spectator Saint had transformed into. He allowed it to extend its wings that were covered in skin and fly above Klein, preparing to spew out Mind Breath.
The Spectator Saint didn't wish to give his enemy, who had been infected by the Mental Plague, a chance to catch his breath. He planned on making him lose control immediately!
Suddenly, the mind dragon's actions turned sluggish, as though every joint had been injected with paste.
In the next second, a silver-white beam erupted from his body, slicing through his flesh and tearing apart his Spirit Body.
Klein, who was laughing with his back bent, instantly calmed down. He slowly straightened his body, released the palm that was covering his left cheek, and curled up the corners of his mouth at the distant Shadow.
Behind him, the mind dragon was torn apart by wave after wave of silver-white beams, turning into pieces of raven-black flesh and blood that fell to the ground. The knight marionette in silver armor immediately retracted the broadsword in his hand and looked coldly at Shadow.
Klein looked at the slightly confused "shadow." The few Worms of Spirit on the left side of his face curved and extended, simulating the curl of his lips.
"You don't seem to have noticed that there's something that I have that you don't."
