"There's no need to lure him. He will come out on his own." In the telepathic bond, Natasha was obviously making fun of Lucien.
Ell was still wearing an olive crown and a white robe, but he was even more tranquil than before. Holy light was vaguely flowing on his skin, and the projection of the seven-floored Mountain Paradise was contained in his pupils. He looked particularly sacred and solemn.
Holding a long sword that was as black as ink, he lunged at the two of them. Stinky, rotten liquids were dripping from the sword now and then, only to be absorbed by the mysterious power, completing a cycle.
"He has been seeking to absorb the godhood of death and the moon. After sensing the pieces of the mysterious existence in the World of Souls, he might've come out to take a look. Such false gods are very susceptible to the attraction of the godhood and godhood, to the point of losing their sanity." Although Lucien said so, he was still slightly confused. Ell had almost died in his hands, and he did not even have the ability to resist. Why was he still so confident after seeing the two of them?
In the meantime, Lucien seized the time to enhance Natasha with 'Bull's Strength', 'Bear's Endurance', and other spells.
After Ell entered the range of casting spells, Natasha raised her longsword and charged at him, and Lucien, on the other hand, simply performed 'Advanced Dispel Magic'.
Ell, who was about to use Command, saw that the light on his body was fading away like blossoming fireworks. The two spells that he enhanced in advance were highlighted and broken at the same time. At this moment, Natasha had already flown to his front and pressed down with 'Pale Justice', raising an illusionary gap that could cut any matter apart.
In a hurry, Ell blocked Pale Justice with his sword, but he was knocked back by Natasha's attack and lost his balance. Suppressed by Natasha's fierce attacks, Ell could not spare any attention to cast any divine-like spells.
Lucien, on the other hand, activated the magic model unhurriedly. His eyes flashed, and Ell felt that his magic resistance was plummeting. So, the projection of the seven-floored Mountain Paradise in his eyes suddenly glowed as if it were about to be substantiated. Bathed in the holy light, Ell's strength was greatly boosted, triggering changes in the environment around. The darkness was gone, and light emerged. The sacred and solemn air was released, suppressing all the impure and evil forces.
"Semi-illusory willpower domain? Ell has become a Gold Knight? "Lucien and Natasha asked in the telepathic bond at the same time.
After three consecutive hits, Natasha was forced to take a step back in midair. Els' pure and holy eyes looked at Lucien. "I order you to die …"
Before he could finish his two-word incantation, El disappeared. Lucien raised his right hand, holding a scepter inlaid with a huge gem.
The surrounding Holy Light Domain disappeared as well. Darkness once again enveloped everything, and the cold wind blew at their hearts.
"His strength has increased a little, but he still hasn't reached the standard of a real Gold Knight. I can fight him." Natasha hurriedly told Lucien the last bit of information.
Lucien nodded his head. "He should be able to borrow the power of the divine domain within a certain range. No wonder he dares to come out. However, the fact that he can borrow the power of the divine domain outside of it means that Ell's strength is close to that of a Gold Knight. It seems that he, who has integrated the Sun God and the Mother Goddess of the Earth, has received a lot of 'power of faith'. "
While talking, Lucien set up magic traps in the corresponding places of Maze. At this moment, another shadow flew out of Death Valley. He had six wings on his back and was surrounded by lightning. He had come to rescue "the great God Ell".
"The God of Thunder, and now the Angel of Thunder and Lightning?" When the distance between the two parties was shortened, Lucien saw the bald, strong man clearly and recognized him.
At this moment, the Angel of Thunder and Lightning flapped his wings solemnly, trying to stop Lucien. However, after a swish, he disappeared on the spot too.
Watching Lucien use Maze continuously, Natasha exclaimed, "Magic is really amazing. There's no need to worry about being attacked from both sides."
After quickly setting up the magic traps, Lucien did not wait for the Uncanny Maze to end on its own. He raised the Sun Staff and released Ell.
Ell seemed to have given up the idea of cracking the maze and was concentrating on enhancing himself with divine spells to guard against magic traps. However, he did not expect that Lucien would only set up one trap and then solve the maze. For a moment, he was a bit flustered.
Suddenly, black tentacles emerged from the ground and stretched to the sky, entangling Ell. This elemental magic seemed to come from nature and was not suppressed by Ell's divine will domain. Also, it seemed to be immune to a lot of damage.
At the same time, Natasha also jumped up and entangled Ell whose movements were restricted, not giving him any chance to react.
Lucien's black eyes became blurred, and Ell was stunned where he was. Then, Lucien stepped forward, and the brilliance of wisdom in Ell's eyes was weakened to the minimum. They were like the eyes of an animal, without the ability to think.
After putting on the Congus Ring, Lucien's cognitive world had been improved to the substantialization level. The buffering time of his spells had been reduced again. When he cast spells below the sixth circle, it was almost like he was wearing 'Fake Davey's Robe'.
"It's not bad to deal with such false gods who are easily influenced by godhood with Dullness and Mental Retardation." Lucien flew to Ell, who was controlled by Natasha. His eyes became deep and gloomy. On a closer look, one would find that there was a bit of starlight flowing in mysterious trajectories in his eyes, making one unable to help but be fascinated.
Ell's throat hummed, and his eyes gradually became clear again. However, his face became extremely respectful as he said in a low voice, "As you command."
"Very good." Lucien nodded and gave an 'instruction'.
"I feel that false gods are easy to deal with. If it were a level-eight Celestial Knight who could generate a half-illusionary willpower domain with external forces, your Dullness and Mental Retardation would've been resisted by their willpower." Natasha remarked, half in confusion and half in amusement.
Lucien nodded and replied, "False gods are terrifyingly strong in certain aspects, but their weaknesses are equally obvious. For example, I did not dare to deal with Necromancy, Earth, Sleep, or other spells except for the Subjugation Curse that weakens the resistance. His clergy is in those aspects, and it's possible that most of the effects will be weakened or even directly immune to them. Also, if we were in Death Valley, the spells of the illusion class just now would've been suppressed by the divine power, and it wouldn't have worked so easily."
Pausing for a moment, Lucien said to Natasha in the telepathic bond in a low voice, "But it's still a bit strange that we succeeded so easily without any danger. In particular, we predicted that something was wrong with Ell in advance, but he didn't show any abnormality at all."
"Isn't the abnormality caused by the divine realm that imitates Mountain Paradise? Perhaps your astrology deviated to the 'Lord' just now, and that's why you didn't get any result. " Natasha expressed her opinion, but she did not express any certainty. In that regard, Lucien was the expert.
Lucien decided to try again. He took out the crystal ball and performed astrology. This time, after the starry sky of destiny appeared in the crystal ball, Ell's Host Star of Destiny was clearly revealed.
"Did the prophecy really reach the God of Truth just now?" Lucien shook his head in confusion. Looking at Ell, who was under his control and was perfectly fine, he said to Natasha, "Maybe it's true, but Ell's fate in the divine realm overlapped with that of the God of Truth. What does that mean?"
"It's not an overlap. It's just a deviation of the prophecy." Natasha denied it firmly. If she admitted that it was an overlap, wouldn't she admit that Ell was the God of Truth? Or was His clone? That would be a merciless mockery and strike to her belief.
Lucien held back his confusion. "Let's try again in the divine realm and kill Francis. Then, we can make a plan to deal with Demigod-lich."
… …
In Ell's divine realm, the Soul Catcher had been killed, but Francis was nowhere to be found.
"So vigilant? No wonder you can work as a spy in the North Congress and have your name on the ranking of the night watchers and the Cleansing List. " Natasha gnashed her teeth. Then, together with Lucien, they found a secret place and performed astrology behind Ell's back.
"His Host Star of Destiny is blurred. Is it really because of the divine realm?" Lucien frowned and looked at the blurred light spots in the crystal ball. Then, he began to consider how to deal with Demigod-lich. "This divine realm that mimics Mountain Paradise suppresses the spectres very much. Demigod-lich's strength will be greatly weakened here, and Ell will be boosted to the peak of the gold Knight. Therefore, if we are to deal with Demigod-lich, this is the best battlefield."
"Yes. We will distract Demigod-lich from the front, and Ell will 'ambush' from the back. When Demigod-lich's attention is distracted, you will deal with him with legendary spells." Natasha proposed a rough plan.
Lucien said solemnly, "The timing must be perfect. Otherwise, we will have no other way to defend ourselves except to resist Demigod-lich's spells with 'Undead Rampart'. By then, everything will be exposed. Therefore, we need to rehearse repeatedly."
"Also, the Demigod-lich has Spell Trigger, Spell Order, and other spells. It's obviously impossible to kill him with a single legendary spell. We need to set up traps or magic circles that can interfere with the effects of Chaos Teleportation, Shadow Jump, Short-Distance Teleportation, Shadow Well, and so on. We need to hide them with the power of the divine domain."
Lucien did not know what kind of life-saving spells Demigod-lich had prepared, so he could only look at the book and guess according to Demigod-lich's level. But in this way, the preparation work was very complicated, and it could not be done in a day. Therefore, Lucien chose a few targeted spells based on his experience and prophecy.
Looking at Lucien who was preparing the magic traps attentively, Natasha scratched her chin and said, "I finally understand what my teacher said. 'Never deal with a sorcerer who is prepared in advance'."
"It can only increase our hope. The strength of a legend cannot be made up by preparation in advance. Also, we have to lure him into the divine realm safely." Lucien sighed.
Natasha raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Aren't we waiting for him here?"
Lucien shook his head. "He will be alarmed if we do that. We will circle around Death Valley in such a route. Once our range of activities is compressed, we will return to the valley immediately. "
While talking, Lucien squatted and drew a map on the ground, explaining the importance of positioning to Natasha.
After that, Lucien rose and said, "Now, let's go and rehearse the situation with Ell in case we are caught unprepared."
A gust of wind blew by and wiped away the traps on the ground. Lucien sighed. "I hope none of them will be used, because it means that we did not run into Demigod-lich and survived the last day and a half safely. That's what I hope most."
"Me too, but we can only pursue such luck if we are prepared." Natasha patted Lucien's shoulder with a smile and asked in the telepathic bond, "Right, why did you secretly control the Lightning and Thunder Angel with Instruction just now?"
Looking at the holy light before him and listening to the ethereal hymns, Lucien smiled. "In case of accidents."
… …
One day later, when it was almost dawn, the howls in the dark forest came to an abrupt end, as if the place had turned into a dead and silent hell.
