Sabelle stood in the arena and watched Cell fall out of the arena in a parabola.
Based on his decades of combat experience, Cell basically had no chance of turning the tables. Cell's battle relied entirely on brute force. Once his body was weightless, it would be difficult for him to control himself. Furthermore, with the thrust of his sword, Sabelle was 100% sure that Cell would fall out of the ring.
Therefore, he would definitely be the winner.
Unless … unless Cell could fly.
Sabelle naturally didn't think that Cell could fly. If he could, Cell would have had the upper hand in the air.
But sometimes, the more you thought that something was impossible, the more likely it was to appear in front of you and slap you in the face. A moment ago, Sabelle was still confident that unless Cell could fly, the outcome of the battle would be decided. The next moment, Cell was floating in the air.
Cell's head was lowered. His face couldn't be seen clearly. He didn't exert any strength on his shoulders. His legs were also in a relaxed state. It was as if he had fallen asleep. But even so, Cell didn't continue to fall. Instead, he stabilized himself in the air.
What was going on?
While everyone was still in shock, Cell's body began to emit a thick black gas. The image of the strange creature that had flashed before appeared again. This time, its appearance was even clearer, and its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, was wide open. It looked like it was laughing.
After this strange creature appeared, it dispersed into black particles and drilled into Cell's body.
At the same time, Cell's body underwent another huge change.
This time, the change was even greater. His ears, which had turned into butterfly wings, became three to five times larger. His ears flapped, causing gusts of wind to blow. His hands and feet also underwent deformities. Tentacles kept growing out of them like appendages.
The black gas dissipated. The transformation was over.
A creepy laughter came out from under Cell's lowered head. This creepy laughter carried a terrifying pressure that made people's hearts tremble.
When this pressure reached its peak, Cell suddenly raised his head.
This scene was like a clown that had accumulated endless evil thoughts. As the audience trembled in fear, it finally turned around and revealed its true face.
Cell's inhuman eyes were filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
He moved and slowly flew towards Sabelle, who was closest to him. His movements were wobbly like a snake or a worm. There was an inexplicable allure to it, but no one could laugh at it.
Knight Saber's face also became serious. He felt a great threat from Cell's body.
The previous Cell had obvious weaknesses. He was easily angered, irritable, and had no strategy when he fought. Even though he had extraordinary strength, he was like a baby with a knife. As long as he was careful, Sabelle was confident that he could defeat him easily.
However, the current Cell was like a completely different person. Although his eyes were bloodthirsty, they were terrifyingly calm. He reminded Sabelle of a wild wolf lying in ambush for its prey in the forest. He would patiently wait for an opportunity in the dark for a piece of meat.
And now, he was the piece of meat targeted by the wolf.
Cell slowly walked towards Sabelle. However, it was this silent and slow movement that gave Sabelle pressure. It was dozens of times stronger than when Cell was running around in front of him!
Sabelle's hand trembled slightly. He waved his sword slightly, compressing the "circle" around him even tighter.
When Cell was halfway there, he seemed to feel that the pressure was enough. Accompanied by a strange laughter, Cell suddenly charged towards Sabelle.
Sabelle thought that Cell would still rely on speed to win like before. If that was really the case, he was confident that he could deal with him.
However, Sabelle's confidence was only born for a moment. His entire body suddenly froze.
He realized that he could not move at all. It was as if he had fallen into a dark dream. Sabelle saw his past. He was oppressed and blamed by the decadent royal family. He was framed by his colleagues. The person he loved left him helplessly. All kinds of nightmares flashed before his eyes. There were also people whispering and mocking him in his ears.
Sabelle's originally tenacious heart suddenly seemed to crack open a crack.
At this moment, a strange laughter echoed near him. Sabelle looked up and saw that the nightmare had suddenly disappeared. What appeared before him was Cell's twisted face.
Sabelle tried to fight back, but he still could not move. He could only watch as Cell swung his bone blade at his neck.
When Sabelle thought that this was the end, a green pattern appeared around him.
When the bone blade came down, the pattern glowed faintly as if it had hit a metal wall. However, the pattern remained intact while Cell's bone blade began to crack.
Cell jumped away and glared at the green pattern in anger. He quickly turned around and looked at the culprit.
Sabelle followed Cell's line of sight.
A man slowly walked onto the stage. Sabelle recognized him. It was Leon's younger brother, the "Lord of New World", Angor!
Angor's appearance was different from how Sabelle saw him before. His right eye was glowing with a faint green light. When he moved, the green light left a trail behind him like a dancing meteor.
Upon closer inspection, Sabelle saw strange green patterns inside the light, which looked exactly the same as the ones around Sabelle's body.
It was Angor who saved Sabelle's life.
Sabelle opened his mouth. He did not want a third person to interrupt their duel, even if it was Angor who saved him. This was the pride and honor of a knight during a duel.
"You already won the match the moment Cell's consciousness was taken over by the Sinful Demon." Angor spoke as if he already knew what Saber was thinking.
Sabelle was surprised. "You mean … he's not Cell anymore?"
Angor nodded and walked past Sabelle. "Leave the rest to me."
With that, Angor approached Cell step by step. Cell sensed the threat as well. His dark eyes flashed with anger, but he didn't dare to attack Angor. Instead, he turned around and flew away as fast as he could, as if trying to escape.
However, as soon as he reached the air, a divine aura that seemed to carry the power of a "decree" appeared in his mind.
Before Cell could react, he fell to the ground from the air. He was the one who immobilized Sabelle, and now he had a taste of what it felt like to be immobilized.
Cell's eyes widened in fear as he watched Angor slowly approached him.
Angor stopped and looked at Cell, who was still struggling on the ground.
"It's useless. You can't escape." Angor spoke in a soft voice. He was using the Tree of Authority to control the Sinful Demon's authority, which prevented the Sinful Demon inside Cell from moving. No matter where he ran, it was useless.
"Cell didn't complete the experiment properly, but at least he learned something." Angor looked down and saw the trembling monster inside Cell's body through his eyes. "You're scared, you're running away, and you're tempting me … So you're intelligent? Or rather, did you borrow his thinking to do something to your advantage? "
The sinful creatures he saw in the mist didn't seem to be sentient at all.
But the one inside Cell's body was different. Was it because the Sinful Demon had entered its "growth phase" and gained intelligence? Or was it because the Sinful Demon was slowly fusing with Cell and could think using Cell's mind?
Either way, it was not good news for Angor.
His previous plan was to keep the Sinful Demon inside his body. As long as he did not use too much power, he would be able to keep his mind.
There was only one thing he needed to consider — not overuse the Sinful Demon's power.
But now, Cell's test showed that the Sinful Demon could still tempt its host. While monitoring the Sinful Demon inside Cell, Angor clearly heard their conversation. Not only did the Sinful Demon tempt Cell, but it also misled Cell's choice.
In other words, if he wanted to choose a Dream Citizen to bear the Sinful Demon's power in the future, he would need to consider another factor — strong mental fortitude and the ability to resist temptation.
Otherwise, if they all succumbed to the Sinful Demon's temptation in their first battle like Cell, they would become a sinner who harmed their own people instead of protecting others.
