The holy area lasted for a long time, about two hours. The scene the old mage saw in the air was an exhausted demon struggling against a divine angel with its tail.
The angel's body was constantly being destroyed, and then slowly growing back under the effect of the holy area. The demon's power was getting weaker and weaker, and sooner or later it would be worn down by the angel.
This was also a very common trap in the Demonic Plane. Great demons often used it. They pretended to be seriously injured and lured powerful demons to attack. Powerful demons were generally in cities and obeyed the command of the demon god. Demons in the wilderness usually fled when they found a great demon.
But the temptation of eating a great demon was irresistible to demons. Therefore, this trick often worked.
The same was true for mages. The temptation to purify a demon and convert him to the embrace of God was too great. Gods needed faith, not only for humans, but any race could become believers. Most importantly, until the death of the divinity, this demon would be his personal and exclusive possession.
"Beautiful demon …" The old mage's throat spat out a few words with difficulty and slowly descended. He was very cautious, and the light on his body was the ninth level of Divine Guard.
Neris was indeed beautiful, for a demon.
Beneath her translucent skin, there were faint green magic patterns with a tinge of gold. The only place where the scales were more obvious was the breasts on her chest. The two horns on the top of her head were dark silver, not curved, but only a small arc.
What the old mage liked most was the despair in the eyes of this female demon.
An intelligent demon!
The old mage's feet landed on the ground and he opened the book in his hand. The angel was sucked in with a whoosh. The old mage didn't want to waste such a pure energy body. Anyway, its owner was already dead.
Closing the thick book, the old mage stood eight meters away from Neris and asked with a smile, "Sinful creature, are you tempting me to come closer to you?"
Neris's heart sank. This mage was not easy to fool.
"Then do you dare to come over?" Neris replied in the common language. She turned over and sat up, her hands hugging her chest, her long nails almost scratching her back. The despair in her green eyes disappeared and was replaced by boundless indifference.
"You're already very close. The true attack range of Purification is ten meters. Even if you're a Greater Demon, this distance is enough. I already value you very much. I can purify ordinary demons from a hundred meters away, "the old mage answered Neris with a smile, holding his thick book in both hands.
"Then why don't you purify me?" Neris asked in a sarcastic tone. Her arms were very long, and she was holding the 12 Movements of Purgatory that had already been crushed into a ball.
"Purification is a rather troublesome process, especially for you. I need to spend a lot of energy. I'm waiting for my people to come and completely subdue you before proceeding. I'm not worried at all. " The old mage's smile was somewhat evil. It was much more fun to tease a demon than to tease a human.
Neris's eyelids twitched. This ninth-level mage didn't attack her directly. Instead, he stood outside her attack range and waited for his men. If his subordinates came, he would no longer have a chance.
The power of the dragons and the protection of thunder and lightning had been lost due to crossing through that spatial magic. It would take at least a month or two to recover. Now, she still had the abilities of the demon god incarnation, human form, and the Undead King.
The power of the Undead King was much weaker than that of the demon god incarnation, especially the power of the undead, which was somewhat restrained by light magic. This old mage's level was too high. Even if she transformed into a king, she would still be suppressed. The power of the undead was meaningless.
Transform into a human? In his human form, he hadn't learned many skills. Most of them were the Elven Archery that Elena taught him. However, the training of the Elven Archery was too difficult. Even if he had Longbow Seven Nights, he wouldn't be able to unleash even 1% of its power.
The demon god incarnation had already used up a lot of power and hadn't rested yet. The battle might last for another two hours, or even less. Once it changed, she had to be prepared for a successful battle.
The old mage used Divine Guard, a divine spell that was more difficult to break than the Holy Shield. This thing was more powerful than magic because it was borrowed from the gods. Even if Divine Guard was broken, the old mage wouldn't be harmed in any way, and he would still be a strong man with complete combat power.
Should she take the initiative to attack? Neris hesitated. The old mage was indeed very close, but Neris wasn't sure that she could penetrate the ninth-level Divine Guard in one blow. Her dragon crystal needles had been used up, and she didn't even have time to pick them up.
Neris no longer disguised. She slowly stood up, wrapped her tail around her body, and said, "If you let me go, I'll tell you a secret."
"Secret? Tell me first, what is the secret? "The old mage was unmoved. Two eighth-level mages were killed by this demon. There must be a lot of secrets in this demon's body. It wasn't that he didn't dare to approach, but he didn't want to fail miserably. His people would soon arrive, and with the two cardinals, they should be able to subdue this demon, right?
"Goddess Myers' secret, if you don't want to hear it, I'm leaving …" Neris said as she slowly retreated, wanting to leave this sacred area. She now regretted that she had underestimated theurgy too much. Her scrolls and some of her equipment had been destroyed when she passed through the Holy Shield and the spatial theurgy. Only her body, which was protected by lightning, had not suffered any damage.
Speaking of which, Ainphent's bracelet was also very strange. It wasn't damaged in the slightest.
The old mage was slightly stunned. Goddess Myers!
Although Goddess Myers had fallen, it was a big worry for the Holy See. In the Tanggulas Empire, all the ancient shrines were destroyed, but in other empires, many shrines still remained in ruins. The people of other empires, however, did not deliberately destroy the ruins of the goddess.
It was said that gods could be resurrected. If Goddess Myers was resurrected, she would probably immediately attract countless believers. On the Myers Continent, it would be much easier for that goddess to spread her faith than the God of Light.
Although he was stunned for a moment, there was no flaw in his body. Divine Guard was too slow to use, but once it was completed, the duration and defensive ability were not comparable to magic. The old mage followed Neris's footsteps, maintaining a distance of eight meters, without the slightest deviation.
"I know where the shrine of the goddess is hidden." Neris said, and there was already a piece of divine crystal in her hand, which was dug out from the statue of the goddess. She had almost used it up, but she was not willing to use this intact part.
The aura of the goddess suddenly excited the old mage. This news made him more excited than the arrival of the God of Light himself. He was a ninth-level mage, but he had no status, so he was sent to the front line to do the most dangerous work. If he could find the shrine of Goddess Myers, then he would immediately get the largest parish, and might even directly become a cardinal, get the opportunity to enter the core of the Holy See, and compete for the next pope!
He couldn't doubt Neris's words. In this divine crystal, the faint aura of the goddess did come from the goddess of nature. And this aura was definitely not a remnant, but very fresh, at most a few years. In other words, Goddess Myers did show signs of resurrection, otherwise it would be impossible to condense such a pure divine crystal!
"I swear in the name of the gods, if you tell me where the shrine of Myers is, I will let you go, you devil." The old mage said eagerly. He didn't care about this request, and he was confident that he could go back on his word.
The old mage didn't care about the battle outside. He was now completely attracted by the temptation of Neris.
Neris sneered in her heart. The desires of human beings would never be erased. So what if she was a ninth-level mage? The 12 Movements of Purgatory in her hand slowly unfolded, and her tail quickly swung out from her body, forming a powerful spiral. Neris spun and was thrown toward the old mage by this force.
"Time, reverse!" The old mage gently patted the book in his hand, and Neris's movements suddenly slowed down. The skin on the surface of her entire body twisted and twitched under the tremendous stopping effect.
Neris didn't expect a ninth-level magic spell to be so terrifying. It was as if time was about to stop and even reverse. She suddenly lost speed, and the old mage slowly took two steps back, still maintaining a distance of eight meters.
"Poor little guy, it's impossible to sneak attack me." The old mage stared at the 12 Movements of Purgatory in Neris's hand and discovered this demon's secret.
"You want to use a broken piece of equipment to attack me? It's really too childish. "Although he said this, he was attracted by the equipment. This thing seemed to have the power of the gods, and it was very chaotic. It was impossible to tell where the divinity was.
"You've discovered it." Neris smiled helplessly. Her body slowly expanded, and huge scales grew out. She also quickly grew taller. She had no choice but to use the Demon God Incarnation skill. Lolo-Garo's form no longer had the power to threaten the old mage.
The old mage opened the thick book in his hand without hesitation. More than twenty angels of the divine kingdom appeared around him to protect him. Then, a scepter appeared in his hand. He pointed it at Neris and shouted, "Solidify!"
Neris didn't use a transformation spell, but one of her own abilities. Solidify was targeted at transformation skills. As for Neris, the Demon God Incarnation was equivalent to a part of her body, and the solidification skill was ineffective. Neris quickly grew to more than twenty meters tall and stepped on the old mage.
