At this moment, neither Lucien nor Natasha dared to fly, because if they flew too low, they would be blocked by mountains and trees, which would waste their time. If they flew too high, they would be easily seen from far away.
After casting 'Advanced Acceleration' on himself, Lucien was not much slower than Natasha, the Knight. The two of them were as fast as flashing phantoms in the dark, steep mountain.
While they were running, Lucien's eyes suddenly burst out dazzling brilliance. His eyes, which had good night vision, were temporarily blinded.
Natasha's blood power, however, made her immune to 'Blindness'. She suddenly turned around and lunged at a tree not far away.
The evening star was dyed red by the afterglow of the sun. It shone warmly on the big tree, protecting a beautiful woman in a white robe.
"Asin, the God of Love and Beauty!" Natasha recognized the woman, but without any hesitation, she waved her longsword, and an illusionary gap that did not seem to belong to this world appeared along with the aura of the sword, splitting the light of the Evening Star into two halves.
Before the defense spell was broken, Asin's body darkened, preparing to melt into the shadow around.
However, when she was about to melt, as Lucien cast a spell with spiritual power, an invisible wall of force was condensed on the shadow and bounced her away. Her neck was cut by Natasha's longsword.
A thin black slit that seemed to be able to cut through space appeared in a flash. The two defensive spells around Asin were shattered like paper. His head with red flames dancing in his eyes fell to the ground with a thud, and his body began to rot and fester.
In 'Life Ritual', she was already dead and became an undead creature under the control of Congus. Therefore, she could not resist 'Pale Justice', which was equivalent to a legend.
The brilliance of godhood drifted out of her body and quickly attached to the broken cracks on the Violet Guardian. The rotten body turned back into the appearance of a centaur.
Natasha suppressed her confusion and curiosity and flew back to Lucien's side. "Let's go. Since Ah Xin risked her life to stop us, Demigod-lich must be nearby!"
Ah Xin seemed to have the blessing of a clergy in tracking and concealing, so she was able to hide from the two for a while. If it were not for the urgency of the matter, Ah Xin, who still had a trace of intelligence, would not have chosen to stop them. Instead, she would have tried not to be shaken off.
Lucien's eyes had already returned to normal, and he could still make such a simple judgment. Thus, he turned around and was about to cross the cliff with Natasha and head towards the gloomy forest.
All of a sudden, a sorrowful howl came from behind. The surrounding atmosphere quickly became lifeless. Bit by bit, the water and vitality were slowly drained away.
"The Demigod-lich is here!"
Both of them had the same thought. Natasha turned around and raised Pale Justice to block the deadly sound wave from Demigod-lich's Howl.
Pa, pa, pa. Following the howl, all the birds within two hundred meters fell down one after another. Before they touched the ground, traces of decay had already appeared on their bodies.
Pale Justice glowed with a layer of gentle and firm colors. The body of the sword trembled violently in the howl, as if it could not hold on any longer.
Lucien and Natasha had no chance of winning against a legendary sorcerer who had lived for thousands of years. It would be a blessing from the God of Truth if they could die peacefully.
The sense of danger was getting closer and closer. It was less than two hundred and sixty meters away!
Suddenly, Lucien stepped forward and raised his left hand high. The silver moonlight was shining, and black flames appeared.
"Huh?" As this voice rang out, the milky white vitality and pure water gathered like a storm, forming a defensive wall with streaks of green and grayish-white light.
Lucien waved his left hand, but nothing happened.
He quickly turned around and ran. In the telepathic bond, he shouted to Natasha, "Run! Get out of three hundred meters, and we still have hope!"
Just now, Lucien asked Alterna to temporarily stop suppressing the mysterious existence of the World of Souls in order to scare Demigod-lich.
However, such a trick could not be repeated. Alterna could do it, but if she did, the fragment of the mysterious existence of the World of Souls would be completely out of control. By then, it would be Lucien who would die. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lucien would not choose to die together with Demigod-lich.
At this moment, how could Natasha not understand the danger and urgency? Without any hesitation, she drew out her long sword and rushed to Lucien. She held him and led him to turn around the cliff.
Under the great pressure, Natasha was running at a speed beyond her imagination. In the dark night, she could not be seen at all. There was only a long, dark shadow. Behind them, an angry voice came from afar and quickly approached, "I'm going to turn you into corpse prostitutes!"
The solidified black, white and grey spread out and covered Lucien's whole body. This was the consequence of Alterna temporarily letting go of the control just now.
Fortunately, Natasha was not stupid. She knew what Lucien was going to do, so she took precautions against this change. She exerted force with her left arm and kept running. She did not even have the time to swing Pale Justice.
The long mountain road was quickly shortened at such a high speed. In front of Natasha, there were two different choices. On the right was the gloomy forest, and on the left was the deep lake that Nica mentioned. Behind them, the gloomy air of death seemed to be getting closer and closer.
According to his description, it's at least four or five hundred meters deep. An idea flashed in Natasha's mind. She slowed down a bit and cut the dull colors on Lucien's body with her sword. Then she jumped into the lake with Lucien like a fish jumping into the ocean.
The air around them turned into transparent lake water. Natasha pulled Lucien down quickly.
Gurgle, gurgle. Lucien, who had not reached the level of a Celestial Knight, could not move and breathe freely underwater. He wanted to cast Sea Cloak, but he was worried that Demigod-lich Congus would sense it.
Natasha took a look at Lucien. She exerted force with her arms and pressed her light red lips on his mouth. She pried open his teeth and breathed in the fresh air, sucking away the stale filth.
Lucien had no time to enjoy the romance. He sank quickly together with Natasha and pointed at the cliff, hinting that there was an upward cave.
Looking at the two paths in front of him, the Demigod-lich in the black cloak struggled to make a choice. He cast a few spells but failed to get a definite result. So, two needle-like redness flashed, and he said angrily in a low voice, "In this wretched world, the spiritual power can only extend to two hundred meters, and the investigation spells that rely on the spiritual power field can only extend the range by a hundred meters. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so troublesome!"
After a day of tracking, he knew that "Lucien" and "Natasha" were covered by Alterna's power. So, he did not waste any time on astrology and prophecy.
However, as a legendary sorcerer, Demigod-lich Congus was certainly not an idiot. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hands and asked the Soul Catchers, the Death Giants, the Mummies, and other servants of death to march into the gloomy forest to search and hunt. He, on the other hand, flew to the top of the lake and cast a spell.
"Poison of Filth."
The surface of the lake that he was staring at suddenly turned gray and expanded quickly. Fish large and small floated up with their white bellies up, covered in filthy pus. Gurgle.
The gray surface of the lake was like boiling water. A shadow as enormous as a castle suddenly surfaced. It turned out to be an enormous monster with the bloodline of dragons.
However, it had also rotted and died!
Underwater, Lucien and Natasha saw the upward cave from far away. They could not help but feel delighted.
However, at this moment, Natasha suddenly discovered that the lake above was quickly dyed gray. The algae, the grass, and the fish were all gone. It was as quiet as death.
"Swim!" In the telepathic bond, Natasha shouted and swam toward the cave with Lucien as if their butts were on fire. At this moment, neither of them had time to care about anything else. They could only hope that the minor changes at the bottom of the lake would not attract Demigod-lich's attention.
The cave was right in front of them, but behind them was already the turbid gray. It was about to touch them.
Natasha gritted her teeth and pushed Lucien into the cave when he was unprepared. Then she drew her sword and slashed at the gray filth.
A layer of sacred and gentle light flashed, and the gray was divided into two parts. Natasha pressed her left hand hard on the cliff next to her and jumped into the cave. She felt that the weight on her back was lighter. Then, she seized the opportunity to jump out of the underground lake.
"Be careful." Seeing that the gray filth on Natasha's back was like a wriggling living creature, Lucien hurried to cast magic to control the filth. At this moment, Natasha was back to herself and slashed her sword behind her back.
The two of them worked together and finally got rid of the gray filth. However, the Violet Guardian was heavily damaged again. The back of the armor seemed to have been corroded through.
Natasha had never experienced such danger before. She was seriously exhausted. However, she knew that they were not really out of danger yet. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Let's go. We'll be safe after we reach the other side of the mountain!"
"Is that so?" A gloomy voice echoed in front of them. Demigod-lich in a black cloak appeared where he was standing. "Don't you know that the gray filth is also my eyes?"
After running for such a long time, he still caught up with them. Natasha and Lucien immediately felt extremely frustrated and desperate.
However, they were both tough people. After communicating with each other in the telepathic bond, Natasha slashed at Demigod-lich with 'Pale Justice'.
"Hehe, Life Deprivation …" Knowing that 'Pale Justice' was the bane of spectres and could hurt him, Congus was not careless. The needle-like redness flashed, and he was about to kill Natasha directly.
Suddenly, Natasha disappeared, and Congus' targeting failed. Lucien, on the other hand, was holding a Sun Staff inlaid with a huge gem.
"A special maze in the Ninth Circle? Hehe, you want to face me alone? "Congus sneered and was about to subdue Lucien with 'Soul Confinement'.
Lucien begged desperately and crazily, "Don't you want to kill me? Don't you want the Silver Moon and the pieces of the mysterious existence in the World of Souls? Come on! "
"But please let her go. She's innocent. She's only involved because of me. Right, she's a descendant of Her Excellency Hathaway."
It was rare for Congus to see this young sorcerer, who was praised for being as calm as ice, lose control of his emotions. He paused for a moment and said in amusement, "It's exactly because she's a descendant of Hathaway that I won't let her go. Do you want me to wait to be hunted down by the old pervert? What a pity for your little lover. "
"It didn't take long for you to become a grand arcanist, far surpassing my students and even me. However, you overestimated yourself and interfered in the affairs of the World of Souls. You also got Maskelyne's amulet. It's hard for you to survive."
After seeing through his deception, Congus did not think that Lucien could make a comeback.
Lucien's eyes were filled with tears. "Let her go. Don't you want the pieces of the Silver Moon and the mysterious existence in the World of Souls? I'll give it to you. I'll give it all to you! "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when Congus slightly narrowed his eyes and saw that Lucien grabbed his left arm with his right hand. Then, he exerted his strength and tore off the entire left arm. The white bones and veins, the red veins and the flesh, were so dazzling that it was shocking.
"Don't you want it? Here you are. Here you are! "Lucien shouted crazily and threw his arm to Congus. There was obvious sobbing in his voice.
Has he lost his mind in desperation? Congus thought in shock, but he was not careless. He carefully caught Lucien's left arm with 'Hand of Magic'.
Suddenly, silver light glowed on the left arm. The frozen black, white, and gray quickly spread out, infecting Hand of Magic and completely enshrouding Congus.
All the expressions on Lucien's face were gone. He calmly raised the Sun Staff and pointed at the void.
Natasha's figure appeared. Without observing the situation, she raised 'Pale Justice' and slashed at Demigod-lich!
