In the boundless light of the Silver Moon, a thin black gap appeared. It grew bigger and bigger until it was finally visible.
This was a long sword that was wrapped in pitch-black flames. The black flames seemed to be able to incinerate everything in its path.
Francis, who was standing far away, felt that the darkness seemed to be able to absorb all the light. Time seemed to be slowed down, and everything was frozen.
However, he soon realized that it was just his imagination. The darkness faintly revealed a green and gray color, and the bright and strict light.
The darkness covered everything again and then disappeared quickly.
The Silver Moon in the sky lit up again. Under its light, Lucien was floating in the air. The Pale Justice in his right hand had flown to the other side of the river and stabbed into the ground right in front of Natasha. It seemed that he had almost hit her. His left hand was hanging down powerlessly, and his face was as pale as a piece of paper. This strike not only consumed all the power that Alterna had accumulated, but also drained all of Lucien's blood power after his transformation. Lucien could no longer maintain it.
The Temple of War and the mountain where it was located had been completely destroyed. Congus was still standing in the sky, stunned. Rudolph II, who had arrived in the form of a pseudo-god, had landed on the ground. The black and white scales of order in front of him had disappeared, as if they were also a projection.
The slightly cool wind blew by at night. The black cloak and magic robe on Congus trembled slightly and broke into pieces, revealing the white and smooth skeleton inside. Then, the skeleton melted into drops of gray liquid and fell to the ground, draining the last bit of vitality from the dry and cracked land.
Congus' entire skeleton was damaged. His skull was broken, and the two needle-like spots of brilliance were extinguished instantly like candles in a storm. However, below the white skull, a small, delicate golden skull that contained extremely terrifying strength was revealed. Needle-Like redness was burning inside the golden eye sockets again.
"You can't run away!" Congus, who only had a golden skull left, said to Lucien gloomily. His teeth opened and closed, and he said to Lucien.
After he finished speaking, terrifying cracks appeared on his golden skull. Then, he disappeared with a remnant of a simple and unadorned ring.
"Oh no, he even set up a resurrection trap nearby!" Lucien's heart sank.
Lucien had long known that after absorbing the divinity of death twice, Alterna's full-strength attack was only at the level of Congus and Rudolph II, who had arrived from a distance. Lucien did not expect to be able to kill Demigod-lich, who had many life-saving means and whose phylactery was still unknown, and Rudolph II, who had not even arrived in his true form.
However, Lucien also sincerely hoped that Congus' body could be completely destroyed so that he could be resurrected from his phylactery in the main material world. In such a way, he would be safe. However, reality crushed Lucien's expectation mercilessly.
However, Lucien was not scared at all. He had the specialties of the Secretive, and he had run into Natasha. All he needed to do next was to hide carefully and go to the Congress of Magic, where he would not need to worry about Congus' pursuit. It would take him at least half an hour to be resurrected. More importantly …
Thinking about that, Lucien moved his eyes to the solidified pieces floating in the air. As long as Alterna's strength was recovered after absorbing them, would Congus still dare to come after him? He would probably run as far as he could!
Alterna, who was a demigod, would definitely be able to eliminate all his traces like the Sword of Truth!
'Sun God' Bero, who was stepping on the dry land, put on an uncanny smile. Then, his body turned into powder and collapsed abruptly.
Ell, Natasha, Camille, Francis, Danniel and the rest of them were either unconscious or exhausted. None of them could do anything. Asin, who had turned into an undead creature, still retained her sanity and did not dare to approach Lucien, her natural nemesis.
"I'm so hungry!" Lucien extended his left hand forward again and flew up with his body. He pressed his hand on a solidified piece of black, white and grey. The other pieces around were attracted and slowly melted.
All of a sudden, Lucien's ears were gone, and the colors in front of his eyes were gone. All that was left was the pure black, white and grey. Everything one meter away was completely blurred and turned into chaos. He seemed to have been isolated from the world. Even his mind was frozen.
Francis struggled to raise his head and look at Lucien who was stunned where he was. On his left hand, silver, black, white and grey appeared alternately, as if they were in a fierce competition. His eyes were blank and unfocused, as if he had lost his soul.
At this time, Danniel, the 'Fire of Purification', twisted his neck and put on a mysterious smile. Then, he slowly stood up and flew towards Lucien with his longsword.
"You know that my projection is hard to destroy, but you're so bold as to start absorbing the essence pieces. Should I say that you've underestimated the absorption process, or that you've become arrogant and careless?" Danniel's voice was full of majesty. It was Rudolph II!
However, his power had not reached the legendary level this time. It seemed that without the body of divinity as the carrier, he would not be able to achieve a higher level of arrival. His power would be limited by the strength of the target.
"Huh? Why did father say that Lucien Evans knew that his projection was hard to destroy?" In the noble district in the other direction of the city of Husum, Sophia was sitting on her bed with a small black and white scale floating in front of her. She was watching the fight near the Temple of War with the power of the scale and the power of the scale. She was quite confused by Rudolph II's words.
More than three years ago, what happened in the underground palace of the Sun King left a deep hatred in her heart. She had been trying her best to find the mysterious sorcerer, but unfortunately, she had not found any clues. Therefore, she gradually gave up and focused on improving her level as a sorcerer. The two spells submitted by Lucien a few days ago were very simple, and many sorcerers had created similar spells by imitating them. Therefore, Sophia did not know that her biggest enemy was Lucien Evans.
Rudolph II was a legendary grand arcanist. Through the body of divinity, his power was also the projection of a legendary. Also, Lucien did not try to hide his power and soul. Therefore, Rudolph II recognized Lucien Evans immediately.
Rudolph II announced that this was not a sneak attack. Then he raised the long sword, Fire of Purification, and slashed it down violently against the moonlight.
The speed and the trajectory of the sword were very strange. The light of the Silver Moon reflected in the sword seemed to carry the taste of kindness, honesty, trustworthiness, and order.
When the white sword full of burning patterns was about to hit Lucien's head, suddenly, an ordinary-looking long sword came in front of the sword and blocked its way.
After a crisp sound, the Fire of Purification was bounced back, and the wielder of the long sword also took a step back.
"You are not exhausted yet?" Rudolph II looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had a firm expression and firm eyes.
Although Congus had focused most of the power of Life Ritual and its accompanying Tainted Rain on Antanas, it was still the aftermath of the legendary spell. It was not surprising that the spell could not kill Natasha, who was well-equipped and well-defended, but it was still amazing that she was still alive and kicking.
"In the beginning, Lucien warned me to be careful of the legendary, so I was prepared. Although two pieces of equipment were destroyed, it only consumed Aunt Camil's power. I didn't lose anything. Instead, I took advantage of the time of Life Ritual to recover from my exhaustion from the battle with Antanas." Lucien nodded and continued, "That's right. Natasha stared at Rudolph II with her silver-purple eyes. She clenched her long sword and moved forward, as if she was determined to defend this place.
She was holding Pale Justice in her hand. Her own level-nine replica of the Shield of Truth and level-eight Sword of Balance were both destroyed in the battle with Antanas and the battle with the legendary spell. Pale Justice, on the other hand, survived because it was equivalent to an epic sword against legendary necromancy spells. Lucien deliberately threw it in front of her.
"It seems that he knew that Congus would show up." Rudolph II sighed. He waved his long sword and launched a storm-like attack. The surrounding space became scorching hot, and all the dirt was burning.
After being possessed by Rudolph's projection, Danniel, the Fire of Purification, was immediately upgraded to the level of a newly advanced gold Knight.
This time, Natasha was on the defensive. Using the hilt, the blade, and the power of her Sword of Truth, her defense was impenetrable. The continuous clanging sounds converged into a series of rapid notes.
Although she was only level-seven, with the enhancement of Pale Justice, her attack and defense power was only level-eight. There was a big gap between her and the projection of Rudolph II, who was at the level of a gold Knight. Logically speaking, she should not be able to hold on for long. However, Rudolph II was not an epic Knight who excelled in melee combat. He was a strong man who had embarked on a balanced and unconventional path. Also, Alterna's attack had greatly damaged his projection, so many of his spells could not be used. Therefore, Natasha's skills and Blessing greatly made up for the gap. After a full minute, she was still standing there.
"No wonder you're the most talented Knight of the young generation. But if you don't back off now, don't blame me for killing you." Rudolph II nodded approvingly and then seriously reminded Natasha.
Natasha sneered, "Have you ever seen a real Knight who ran away from a battle?"
"Then I'll let you die like a Knight." White wings spread out on Rudolph II's back, but they were much dimmer than before.
On the wings, spots of light flew out and gathered together, turning into a thick book. As Rudolph II swung his sword, the book quietly turned to one of the pages.
The Angel King, the Clerk of Mountain Paradise!
Natasha's smile disappeared. With a serious look, she waved Pale Justice, and illusionary cracks suddenly appeared around her, blocking the Fire of Purification.
Bang! Sophia couldn't help but cover her ears when she heard the loud and clear sound.
She looked at Natasha, whose fingers and the back of her hand were bleeding, but she did not back off at all. She thought to herself, "No wonder Natasha is the genius Knight that my brother has a crush on. She's a woman from a different world from me."
Suddenly, Sophia's eyes widened. She saw Lucien, who was behind Natasha, tremble. Lucien's eyes slightly rolled, and his whole person came back to life. Lucien raised his right hand, and a scepter inlaid with a huge sun gem was pointed at Rudolph II.
"It's him!" Sophia jumped up, her body trembling slightly. The remaining fear was still deeply imprinted in her heart. "This bastard!"
Lucien felt that he had been in a long dream for several years. With the help of his cognitive world, his soul had grown to the level of the seventh circle. However, nothing seemed to have changed. Everything was as he had expected. Without any hesitation, he raised the Sun Scepter and activated Confinement.
After a flash of light, Rudolph II continued to attack Natasha fiercely.
"He's immune to Confinement!" Lucien had always heard that some powerful beings were immune to Confinement and Maze, but he never knew who they were. He did not expect to meet one today. However, this might have something to do with the fact that Rudolph II was just a projection.
On Lucien's left hand, the silver had suppressed the solidified black, white, and grey, but it seemed that it could not be completely absorbed in a short time. Therefore, without any hesitation, Lucien took out a tube of colorless solidified object from his storage pouch and began to chant a lengthy spell.
"That magic!" Sophia shouted in panic, as if she wanted to remind her father. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat.
