On the gold trident, the brilliance of the Blue Key was suddenly much gentler, as if another ocean was hidden inside. The splashing sounds were vague, giving the feeling that it was flowing forever.
The Blue Door behind the altar also lost some of its transcendent and untouchable "holiness." Light-colored light flowed and shone slightly with the secret key.
Immediately, the hollow created by the Blue Gate was dyed in bright blue. It was hazy and seemed both real and illusory.
The moment Lucien's spiritual power that he spread out touched the blue, it was bounced back as if it had an electric shock. His connection with the outside world was thus cut off.
His heart slightly heavy, Lucien became solemn. Harex truly grasped the timing perfectly. He had just triggered "Magic Order" in advance and was trapped by the weird "barrier" before he was able to get out of the range of the Blue Gate with other spells. If the guy had been half a second later, he would've been teleported to Natasha's side accurately.
Despite his solemnity, Lucien did not feel desperate or frustrated at all. Although he was still far from the top of legendary, it was not a problem for him to resist the guy for a while. As long as he could weaken the "barrier" in the meantime, and with Natasha's attack outside, it wouldn't be difficult for him to get out of the predicament. After all, he was not alone. Also, if the "barrier" did not seem to be a space-time one, he would've taken care of it with a "positron cannon"!
However, he can slightly mobilize the power of the Blue Gate. This "barrier" is not to be underestimated. Lucien thought to himself. A morning light crystal ball appeared in his left hand. He activated prophecy and searched for the weakness of the barrier. In the meantime, he cast a complicated spell. "Abrupt Reverse!"
Now that he had to deal with the "barrier" first, he had to consider the defense in advance.
A mirror that was carved with weird patterns appeared before Lucien, as if it were a channel to another world.
Harex, however, did not attack immediately. Instead, he frowned and looked at "Dark Jellyfish" Tyers in the circle of status transformation. Its body had been completely dyed in the darkness of ghosts. It was both illusionary and real, wriggling nonstop, like a cluster of negative feelings that was polluting the environment.
The black lines that were almost invisible extended into the vacuum from the cluster and connected to all the negative feelings nearby. It was impossible to tell who was the main body and who was the projection. It was like the ubiquitous cloud of probabilities. Only after the final collapse could the information of the particles be determined. The only difference was that the cluster of objects transformed from the Dark Jellyfish was interacting with the surroundings, but there was no sign of it collapsing.
Of course, it did not have the strangeness of collapsing and spreading in the Pathway of Immortality, nor did it have the sense of transcendence. It was still a long way away from the level of demigods.
"It's been transformed so quickly?" Harex was slightly surprised, but he had no reference and could only make a judgment based on his experience and keen intuition.
"If I don't control Tyers now, it will be troublesome when he gets used to the status …" Harex decided to shift his focus to the status transformation circle. It was not because he was scared of Tyers who had turned into a primeval devil, but because he was worried that the guy would escape or "commit suicide" with the help of such a weird existence, which would ruin his plan of transformation.
He stared at Lucien who had just performed "Abrupt Reverse" with his crimson and cold eyes. He waved his "gold trident", and hazy blueness appeared before him, completely isolating himself from Lucien.
"This is your chance. If you can open the 'Azure Bind' and escape before I succeed, it means that you're blessed with luck today and won't die by my hands. And if you're still here after I change my form, don't blame me." Harex's words were long, but Lucien immediately understood what he meant because of the weird vibration caused by his voice.
Lucien was neither anxious nor infuriated. Unaffected by Harex's provocation, he was focused on breaking the gap between the two of them and stopping him from transforming. Instead, he cast a spell without any hesitation.
"Luxury Cracking!"
As long as he could get out of the range of the "Blue Gate", he would be able to retreat with Natasha easily even if Harex transformed. Also, even if Harex succeeded in the transformation, there was still a long way to go before he became a demigod. He would be on par with Mr. President at best. It was not urgent at all. So, why should he risk stopping him and waste his precious time here?
Crack, crack, crack. Under the influence of Luxury Cracking, the hazy blue light burst out a series of crisp cracking sounds, and the water began to shake violently. However, the Blue Gate did not move at all, which only weakened the barrier a bit but did not completely shatter it.
"It will take five or six 'Luxury Cracking' to crack it with brute force. That's probably enough time for Harex to complete the status transformation with the help of the 'Dark Jellyfish' …" Lucien judged the situation based on the feedback of the attack. Therefore, he was ready to perform "Luxury Cracking" that was attached with "Hand of Uncertainties"!
Although it would consume a lot of his spiritual power, he was already capable of performing it more than ten times with his current strength. He did not need to worry too much about using it in such a hurry.
Right then, Harex suddenly burst out a roar, making the water nearby surge violently.
Lucien was slightly slowed down when he cast the spell. He discovered unexpected changes on the altar.
Harex had been standing in another magic circle, ready to complete the status transformation with the help of "Dark Jellyfish" Tyers. In such a way, he could achieve his purpose and restrain the negative feelings on the puppet without affecting himself. However, at this moment, the runes that connected the two magic circles were stained with the colors of pain, desperation, and greed.
The wriggling amalgamation, on the other hand, had passed the boundary of the magic circles at some point and lunged at Harex!
Such a change came without any sign. Not just Harex was shocked and infuriated, even Lucien, who was familiar with such status transformation circles, was baffled. Although he did not recognize the special symbols and patterns of the sea clans, based on his general judgment, he was certain that the amalgamation of primeval devils would not be able to escape from the magic circles easily.
What went wrong exactly?
Harex was shocked and infuriated, but he was not panicked. The gold trident in his hands was glittering, and waves were surging out, about to separate the amalgamation of primeval devils that was close to his body.
"Haha. Harex, it's useless. Your reaction is not bad, but it's still too late because you are fundamentally wrong. I often tell everybody that greed will lower the IQ of an expert, but it's a pity that nobody believes me. Hehe. Similar idiots show up every day. "The dark, wriggling amalgamation of primeval devils suddenly burst out with mockery.
The familiar voice and the familiar sarcasm made Lucien stunned for a moment.
"The Lord of Hell?"
"Maltimus!" Harex was no stranger to the voice either. He roared in both shock and fury. His previous calmness was mixed with panic.
Even though he was a top legend who dominated the ocean, he could not help but feel shocked and panicked when he learned that he had been schemed against by a demigod who had existed for tens of thousands of years!
The Lord of Hell did not disguise his identity at all, exactly for the panic at this moment. Seizing the emotional loophole in Harex's mind, he crawled into his body with his dark, wriggling shadow, completing the preliminary integration!
"Hahaha. Since the end of the age of myths, I've been looking for a shell that can allow me to arrive at the main material world stably. It's a pity that except for the top legends, even the body of a dragon cannot bear my power. So, I never found an opportunity. I have to thank Viken for secretly announcing the way to transform into a primeval devil. I have to thank the guys who have been blinded by greed for coming at me nonstop. Hehe. Who knows the primeval devils better than I do?" Maltimus kept influencing Harex's feelings with his mockery, hoping to corrupt him as soon as possible.
"No!" Holding back the feelings in his heart, Harex made the Blue Key on the gold trident burst out unimaginably bright light without any hesitation.
The Blue Gate shivered slightly, and the hazy blueness was constricted abruptly and concentrated on the Blue Key. Then, infinite blue light surged out of the Blue Key like a dangerous tide.
The "tide" was running like thousands of horses, and the "light" was as thick as water. It brushed the amalgamation of the primeval devils that had been melted by Harex, dissolving the wriggling blackness layer by layer.
At the perilous moment, Harex did not try to control his power but simply allowed the surging "seawater" to flow everywhere. As a result, Lucien, who had just gotten rid of the Blue Constraint, was restricted by the thick light.
"Idiot, why are you blocking me?" Lucien secretly cursed in fury. Shouldn't all the conscious creatures of the main material world be on the same side when faced with the Lord of Hell? I'm even planning to stop him from occupying your body!
However, Lucien knew very well that Harex wouldn't consider the enemy at such a moment. He would only eliminate any possible danger. It wasn't the first time that sorcerers had cooperated with devils!
"Luxury Cracking!"
'Luxury Cracking', which was added with 'Hand of Uncertainties', was activated. The thick seawater around Lucien was immediately gone, but under the influence of the Blue Gate, some of it was still left in front of him.
Lucien was about to perform Grandiose Obliteration on the Robe of Grand Arcanists, when a silver sword suddenly glowed in his eyes, and the remaining blue light fell apart instantly.
Natasha arrived in time after the Blue Constraint was gone!
