A strong sense of danger rose from Lucien's heart. The projection of his Host Star of Destiny was shaking his soul violently. Therefore, he shouted "watch out!" in the telepathic bond, and at the same time, he performed the fastest short-distance teleportation.
Disappearing from where he was, Lucien blinked to the door of the ancillary laboratory. He saw that the gray mirror had become clear, and a fuzzy, twisted shadow was walking out of it!
It revealed its air without any reservation, making Lucien panicked. Mechanized Mind, Mental Barrier, and other spells seemed to be ineffective.
It was the air of the monster!
It was the pressure of the demigod level!
"Has it finally caught up?" In the two battles, the monster revealed its air at the last moment of failure and when the two phantoms were melted into one. Therefore, Lucien recognized that the gray, fuzzy shadow was the monster that guarded the Realm of Gates!
Rhein's shadow was broken like a dream. The black shadow at the door of the gray laboratory was condensed into him again.
In the telepathic bond, he said solemnly, "Demigod. This is the pressure of a real demigod …"
He had been judging that the monster did not boast the strength of a demigod, or it would've killed him a long time ago. However, it seemed that the monster had been playing tricks on the people who entered the Realm of Gates, making them walk to the end of their lives in desperation and pain.
Lucien had witnessed "God's Arrival" before, and he had been possessed by Alterna. He knew the pressure of the demigod level very well. Without needing Rhein's reminder, he simply cast the spell, "Space Staff!"
The time around him flowed faster and faster. His body was split into quite a few identical Lucien, who fled to different directions of Thanos' laboratory at full speed.
The monster sniffed. "You think you can fool me with illusions that are not even legendary?"
As he spoke, the transcendent air arrived, restoring the time and space to normal and shattering the illusions.
In the void, Lucien's real body appeared. He did not give up even though he was faced with a demigod. A delicate, glamorous pocket watch appeared in his right hand, and the black second hand was ticking. Crack.
Kacha! As Lucien's thumb gently pressed down, the surrounding gray turned ghastly white as everything froze.
However, the monster with the ever-changing face was not affected at all. It completely left the mirror and slowly approached the two of them. Its mocking voice traveled through different dimensions and fell into Lucien's ears.
"If you were at the peak of legendary, your 'Advanced Time Stop' would've affected me a little. Unfortunately, you're not. Do you believe that I can completely annihilate you with a random attack? That's the gap between demigods and non-top legends. "
Rhein's legendary items to resist 'Advanced Time Stop' had been consumed. He was stuck in the effect of Time Stop and stood where he was like a statue. Lucien, on the other hand, felt that his head was a mess, and he was deeply desperate. The monster was a demigod, which was completely beyond his capabilities. If he had encountered the top legends who were not immune to 'Advanced Time Stop' and 'Gravity Collapse', it would've been possible for him to escape with the features of the Realm of Gates. However, he had run into a demigod!
The monster did not maintain the feature that it was only one level or half a level higher than the target but simply attacked with full strength. Now that he thought about it, when he met Rhein when he pretended to be, the Moon Timer worked because he followed the rules of the game!
In his desperation, Lucien gnashed his teeth with the toughness and the belief that he never gave up that he had been nurturing. "Nothing is certain! I'm going to try my luck even if I have to! Demigods, so what? Are they more terrifying than fate? "
"Vengeful Gaze!"
"Vengeful Gaze!"
"Vengeful Gaze!"
In the effect of Time Stop, three crimson rays that were enhanced with "Hand of Uncertainties" were shot out of Lucien's ruby-like left eye.
… …
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! In the magic tower in the demiplane of the Atomic Universe, Natasha, who was wearing a black Knight's suit, pressed the piano hard with her long fingers, as if she were venting her feelings and boosting her fighting will.
Clang! Clang!
Clang! Clang! Natasha's eyes were slightly red, and her face was full of stubbornness. The melody of "Symphony of Fate" came at her with shocking power, scaring the servants around. They were like little petrels in a storm, unable to resist the horror of nature or get rid of their destiny.
Why should she be weak? Why should she not be confident in advancing into epic? Why should she feel that she was completely useless? While playing the piano, Natasha gnashed her teeth and asked herself.
… …
The effect of "Advanced Time Stop" was over. The crimson rays hit the defenseless monster at the real speed of light, passing through it as if it had hit a cluster of smoke and hitting the wall that was protected by the defense, raising scorching brilliance.
"Well …" The monster suddenly sounded scared, as if it had sensed something. But then, it laughed again. "If you were at the peak of legendary, the weird magic effect that you secretly added might've been able to really hurt me. I've never seen such a weird thing, nor can I imitate it. But it's a pity that you're not."
"Alright, I'll show you five percent of my strength."
The overwhelming and terrifying energy storm suddenly burst out. The monster waved its hands and launched an attack like a Knight.
"Elemental Protection!" Lucien quickly activated "Robe of Grand Arcanists".
The colorful spots of elements were condensed into a translucent defense layer that protected Lucien's body.
Pa. The energy storm blew on the light shield of "Elemental Protection" and blew it apart. Then, it hit Lucien heavily.
Elemental Skin, Magic Absorber, Stone Skin, Energy Immunity, and other spells burst out one after another. Finally, the energy storm was weakened to the extent that it could not stop Lucien from teleporting.
However, even so, Lucien, who had blinked to the door of another room, was still heavily wounded!
"How is it? Are you desperate now? I like the taste of desperation the most. Haha, this is only five percent of my strength. " The monster laughed aloud and approached Lucien and Rhein step by step like a cat playing with a mouse. Meanwhile, it controlled the defense of Thanos' laboratory, forbidding the space transmission inside.
Suddenly, it took a step forward, shattering the potion configuration platform, alchemy platform, and experiment platform. Rhein, who was at the door, took a step back, blood flowing out of his mouth.
"Real Dream? It's a pity that you're not Dracula. I can wake you up from your dream with my own strength. " The monster laughed proudly, "Come on, use whatever spells and talents you have. I like to play with people's hearts slowly. I'll make you fall into real desperation."
Lucien struggled to suppress his wounds with magic and then turned into a legendary Knight. He held the Shield of Truth in front of him and slashed out with his silver sword!
Desperation?
I will not be desperate until I have a trace of consciousness left! I will not give up!
… …
The intense music made people tremble. Natasha suddenly pressed the button heavily, making discordant noises. Then, she picked up "Pale Justice" and walked out of the magic tower firmly.
I don't need to finish playing. I already know what I'm thinking!
Before everything is over, I have to practice, practice, practice, and only practice! Even if it's only one in ten thousand hope, I have to try my best to pursue it. Weakness and desperation are meaningless!
… …
The silver sword hit the monster like a crescent moon. The illusionary cracks tore it apart, but very soon, the pieces gathered and twisted into the shape of a human again. It mocked maliciously, "As expected of the Sword of Truth. It's a pity that it's only level-three. If it were a bloodline Knight of 'Sword of Truth' at the peak of legendary, perhaps I would've perished just now, but what about you?"
There was no telling when a delicate black bow appeared in Rhein's hands, with a broken bloody arrow on it.
As he pulled the bowstring, the broken bloody arrow was shot out with the intense air of destruction.
The monster stopped laughing and said in a low voice, "Protection of Space!"
Layers of time and space seemed to have appeared around it. After passing through one after another, the broken bloody arrow finally disappeared into the void.
"Not bad. As expected of the observer with a rich collection. 'Malhanu', the bow of destruction, is in your hands." The monster complimented, "However, you forgot that I only said that the top legends might be able to hurt me, not necessarily. After all, I'm a demigod. Hahaha. How about it? Isn't it fun?"
"Malhanu's Bow" was a top legendary item with the title of "God Slayer", but it had high demands on the user. After shooting the arrow, Rhein seemed to have been drained of all his blood, and he looked dry and slender.
"I know the God Slayer's Arrow too!" After that, the monster launched another attack. A broken bloody arrow flew out of its hand and darted at Lucien, who was holding the Shield of Truth to protect Rhein.
The broken bloody arrow hit the Shield of Truth and quickly dissolved the illusionary waves, as if it had shot down a whole world!
Under the unimaginable pressure, Lucien could not hold the Shield of Truth anymore. He was blown away and fell into a grey room.
… …
Inside the Atomic Universe, Natasha held "Pale Justice" and roamed in space with the planets of elements as illusions. Sweat was dripping from her forehead, her eyes, and her face.
As she slashed out again and again, ferocious cracks appeared on the planet.
Natasha did not yell to vent her feelings after every attack. Instead, she melted all her feelings, willpower, and blood power into her sword.
Ask me if I'm weak?
Ask me if I'll give up?
Ask me if I'll be desperate?
My longsword will give the answer!
… …
"If your Shield of Truth had reached the level of 'God's Guard', my attack would've been useless. But it's a pity that you're not Mecantron. Now, do you have a sufficient understanding of your insignificance and weakness? "The monster mocked nonstop.
Lucien fell to the ground. Before him was the crater where Sardes died just now. He almost fell to the bottom of the crater.
The magic stripes around emitted cold brilliance and flowed on their own, as if they did not know that a great battle was taking place here.
"Sardes died here earlier. Are we going to …" A bad feeling popped up in Lucien's heart. The heavy footsteps of the monster seemed to be a reminder of the approach of death.
"Thankfully, it's full of nonsense and seems to be toying with people's feelings and creating desperation. Otherwise, we would've been killed in the first attack." Lucien held back the bad feeling and began to look for hope of survival from that perspective.
If you want to play, we'll play along with you!
While he was thinking, Lucien's eyes were suddenly frozen. At the bottom of the crater, where Sardes died, the head of a puppet had appeared at some point.
"It wasn't here earlier …"
Sardes' death …
The paper scraps and the puppet components that he obtained very easily …
Maskelyne's magic notebook was not destroyed …
It was also a bit of a coincidence that he ran into 'Mountain Paradise' …
The laboratory still kept part of the experiment records …
After the head of the puppet appeared, all Lucien's questions were strung together. Lightning seemed to have struck his head and illuminated everything.
The monster laughed aloud and walked to Lucien and Rhein. "What's wrong? You're not resisting anymore? Are you desperate? "
Lucien stood up, as if it were not a demigod but a dog-headed man before him. While adjusting his black bow tie and double-breasted suit, he smiled. "Why should I resist?"
Rhein looked at him weirdly. The monster stopped and mocked, "Your determination a moment ago is gone?"
Lucien pressed his chest with his right hand and slightly bowed.
"Sometimes, the enemy we think of may be our best helper."
"Thank you for saving the experiment records, the magic notebook, and the puppet components."
The monster's laughter stopped.
