"Over there?" Lankshear repeated Ferragond's question and blocked the entrance of the cave to block the sunlight, making it dim and gloomy inside. Then, he smiled. "Over on the Scarlet Plain, of course."
Ferragond asked in shock and fury, "Did you conspire with the Sovereign of Blood? Did you pollute the elvish tree? Why did you do that? "
He was more and more aware of his dangerous situation. He seized every opportunity to buy himself more time, trying to get rid of the influence of the devil's projection. However, his hatred had been accumulated for hundreds of years, and he had not learned 'Dance of Revenge' recently. The 'seed' had been deeply rooted in him and could not be dispelled anytime soon.
As if he did not notice Ferragond's plan, Lankshear smiled cooperatively. "The Sovereign of Blood? How is a patient of 'schizophrenia' qualified to cooperate with me? As for the pollution of the elvish tree, it's actually thanks to you and your Nature's Abhorrence. "
'Schizophrenia' was a term that Lucien used to describe a certain mental disease. Because it was very similar to the two-headed, three-headed, and four-headed demons, it was often used by the adventurers near the abyssal gap. The elves were no stranger to it.
"Why?" Ferragond asked cooperatively, but he did not expect that the pollution of the elvish tree was really related to him!
Lankshear was acting like the great villain in the bards' stories. He always bragged about his plan when he was about to succeed, only to give the enemy a chance to reverse the situation because he talked too much. "'Nature's Heart' is an item close to a demigod. Even if I secretly separated part of my air and brought it into the abyss, it is barely possible to pollute it, unless the Will of Abyss can wake up from its heavy sleep. However, the elves at the beginning were born from 'Nature's Heart'. Every elf has the blood of nature flowing in their veins and is related to the bloodline of the elvish tree."
"Under such circumstances, when enough elves were corrupted and demonized by the primeval devils, plus the symmetrical magic circles that we deployed on the Scarlet Plain, the elvish tree was naturally polluted accordingly."
Then, Lankshear chuckled. "It's very complicated to keep the elves who worship nature haunted by negative feelings for a long time, but your Nature's Abhorrence solved our problem. Some of them are quite hostile to human beings and consider everything that human beings do as a reason for their hatred. With the negative feelings clouding their rationality, they perfectly meet the prerequisite to summon the projection of the Abhorrence. So, I have to thank you, Ferragond!"
Inside Ferragond's illusionary Nature's Heart, a face that was very similar to his appeared, but the face was full of hatred, fury, and loathing, making "his" face twisted, ugly, and hideous.
"Is this me?" Ferragond saw the face when he removed the influence of the primeval devils. Although he knew that it was the manifestation of his negative feelings, he was still shocked. Was he always like this when he mentioned Nature's Abhorrence?
Holding back his feelings and his fury caused by Lankshear's words, he asked in confusion, "But why are only a few of the corrupted elves from Nature's Abhorrence?"
"The elves who are really projected by the Abhorrence will not be demonized unless they are willing and reach a certain limit. Only the elves who are hesitating and resisting the call of the abhorrence will not be able to control themselves and show signs of corruption. The difference between the two is like the difference between Martha and you." Lankshear explained to Ferragond dutifully.
Hearing the last half of the sentence, Ferragond's fury surged again. "So, Martha has long been projected by the Abhorrence and became your 'subordinate'. No wonder she slandered me. But why are you attacking me? What's your purpose exactly? "
"What do you mean by why am I attacking you? My target has always been you! How can I make further progress if I don't demonize you and turn you into a legendary body of abhorrence? "Said Lankshear with a brilliant smile.
"What? Your target has always been me? " Ferragond found it hard to believe his ears. Although he and Lankshear did not get along well, they did not have to kill each other. Then, he suddenly realized something. "It was you who asked the Congress of Magic to come for help? In order for them to investigate me? Then, you ignited my negative feelings with my hatred for human beings and my fury at being slandered. Together with the influence of 'Dance of Vengeance', you successfully projected the devil into my heart … "
"It's too late for you to understand. Also, it's not the projection of the devil but the transformation of the negative feelings that gathered on you." Lankshear explained with a smile, "It's very dangerous to transform oneself into something similar to the primeval devils, and it's very easy to lose control. That's why I'm interested in you. You have hundreds of years of accumulated abhorrence. You're the perfect 'container'."
"You!" Hearing that, Ferragond was so infuriated that he almost attacked without caring about anything. "Are you not scared that the sorcerers will find out the real mastermind?"
"Hehe. By setting up a magic circle on the Scarlet Plain, not only can I make use of the contradiction between the abyss and the main material world, but I can also lure Lucien Evans and the rest of them to investigate. If they go to the abyss, Malfurion will definitely follow them, or he won't be able to explain it to the Congress of Magic. In such a case, I will be able to take action without any concerns. By the time they come back with 'evidence' from the Scarlet Plain, the 'witnesses' and 'masterminds' will either be dead or have fled. However good his astrology is, it's impossible for him to predict anything!"
"Are you not worried that Lucien Evans won't go to the abyss? What about Atlant? "Ferragond was refreshed after he ruled out the devil's projection.
Raising his bow, Lankshear pointed at Ferragond and smiled. "If he doesn't go, he won't be the Lucien Evans who studied quantum superposition and proposed the observer effect."
In the past, because he was not strong enough, it had always been Lucien who made plans by analyzing other people's personalities and styles. But right now, other people were analyzing him, too!
"As for Atlant, he was happy to see my plan succeed. He was waiting for a safer and more reliable path and did not dare to try it, but it doesn't mean that he did not want to collect files through this incident. For a certain reason, I learned of his stance. So, I secretly sent a message to him and asked him to apply to join the investigation team. " Lankshear mocked Ferragond. "How can a sorcerer who studies the mind not notice the anomaly?"
Ferragond said angrily, "What do you want exactly?"
"The elves have been silent for too long that we've forgotten the glory of the past. I don't want to be trapped in this tiny forest forever. I want to conquer the continent, the ocean, and the entire world like my ancestors and revive the glory of the elves!" Lankshear's elegant face was now more or less crazy. "Everything requires a demigod as the foundation! Now that I have a chance to advance in that direction, I have to seize it. Ferragond, I will remember your 'contributions' to elves! "
Ferragond glared at Lankshear. "You!"
That was too shameless and hateful!
Looking at the sun outside, Lankshear laughed. "Ferragond, don't be angry. Do you know why I'm talking so much to you?"
Before Ferragond replied, he stepped forward and said mockingly, "To keep your hatred, anger, and pain and wait for the right time!"
"Lucien Evans and the rest of them must've reached the altar, where the source of the corruption of 'Nature's Heart' is. However, when the Sovereign of Blood 'failed' and escaped, he intentionally triggered the magic circle so that Malfurion had to remedy it with his divine power. It's a pity that he doesn't know that the harder he works, the more advantageous it will be for me. 'Nature in Abyss and Negative Feelings', 'Nature in Nature and Forest' will be connected into an enormous ritual that will help me achieve the perfect state transformation!"
Naturally, the hidden problems of negative feelings would be borne by Ferragond as a 'container'!
"Also, the Sovereign of Blood will leave some clues so that Malfurion and Lucien Evans will find out that you are the mastermind too!" Seeing that it was about time, Lankshear put on both delight and solemnity. "Ferragond, don't try to resist. You don't have a chance!"
Ferragond bit his lips so hard that blood flowed out. He glared at Lankshear with bloodshot eyes.
… …
"Crack."
The dog head and the goat head of the Sovereign of Blood felt that everything around them turned gray. The blood lost its color, the raindrops were frozen in midair, and the earth remained undulating like the most perfect sculpture.
All the noise and slaughter were gone. All the blood and stench were gone. The world became quiet and fresh again.
Seeing that things were rather weird, Lucien did not stop to give Natasha a chance to fight. He simply used 'Advanced Time Stop' of the Moon Timer!
Then, he chanted in the gray, frozen time and space:
"Luxury Cracking!"
Then, Lucien's left eye became red and translucent like the most beautiful gem. A ray of light was shot out together with 'Vengeful Gaze'. It was not necessary to use 'Positron Cannon' to deal with the Sovereign of Blood yet. Also, a vacuum had to be created first. 'Eternal Blaze' would destroy the altar and the clues indiscriminately. It was not suitable for such an occasion.
After the first ray of light, there was another one. Because the three legendary spells were all attached to 'Hand of Uncertainties' and 'Vengeful Gaze' had 'Spell Delay', 'Advanced Time Stop' was over. The red color returned, and the filthy raindrops fell again. The blood on the ground spurted up again.
At this moment, a silver sword flashed. The raindrops were broken, the blood was broken, and everything that shouldn't have been broken was broken.
On the other hand, colors were flying out of the Sovereign of Blood's body. Layers of defense were peeled off. Obvious cracks appeared on the bloody scales too.
'Luxury Cracking' could only be grasped by the legendary sorcerers who were adept at elements and force fields. In the Congress, before Lucien, only Hathaway could use it. Even Douglas had to cooperate with tedious spells and complicated gestures if he wanted to perform it!
Crack, crack, crack. The items on the surface of the Sovereign of Blood exploded. After only one moment, he had been stripped of all his' clothes' by Lucien. He was caught unprepared!
Then, two blood-red rays hit its body one after another.
The Sovereign of Blood, who was only level two of legendary in the first place, immediately sensed the charm of probability. His chest was pierced through, and he was paralyzed!
Naturally, Malfurion would not let go of the opportunity. His staff flew out abruptly:
"Nature's Dilemma!"
The human-faced goat and the hound watched the green 'plants' spreading and growing numbly. They thought sluggishly:
"We failed just like that?"
"How did we get caught?"
… …
"Ferragond, be angry and hate. Only then will it be more perfect!" Laughing aloud, Lankshear approached Ferragond who was glaring at him.
Suddenly, he saw a layer of bright green light flashing on Ferragond's body. The 'ugly, illusionary face' began to evaporate, and the ritual that he expected to be activated was nowhere to be seen!
"This is …" His smile was frozen.
