The windows in Natravos' magic tower were in the classic style of the ancient Magic Empire. They were located on the top of every floor and were narrow and frameless, as if they had been embedded into the wall. The complicated lattices formed mysterious magic patterns.
Even during the day, the sunlight could not enter the magic tower as much as it wanted because the windows were too small and blocked by the lattices. As a result, the inside of the magic tower was always dim, mysterious, and terrifying, just like the impression of the ancient sorcerers in the minds of the ordinary people.
But at this moment, the cold moonlight broke the eternal darkness in the Magic Tower. On the broken walls, on the remaining floor, and on everyone's body, the moonlight sprinkled a layer of pure and tranquil silver.
Where the moonlight fell was exactly where Danisos, the Dragon of Time and Brilliance, was. Having unfolded his body that was hundreds of meters long, he was flapping his enormous wings, spinning the ring of black scales, and opening his mouth to cast spells in dragon tongue that were unimaginably fast. However, his back that was close to his head was emitting tranquil silver whiteness under the moonlight.
Hooooo!
The primordial dragon of time, Danisos's dragon-tongue magic, was immediately cut off. He raised his thick neck high and roared miserably, as if he were in extreme pain.
On his back, where the silver moonlight was gathered, a beautiful "girl" whose long blond hair was tied to one side vaguely appeared. She half-squatted and stabbed the silver longsword in her hands into Danisos' back brutally. There was not the slightest emotion in her crimson eyes.
Where the silver longsword was stabbed, transparent blood spurted out, like the famous fountain in the municipal square of Renstadt.
The blood sprayed on the remaining floor, but it did not seem to be mixed with the dust at all. Instead, it rolled on the ground like mercury without being tainted at all!
Hooooo!
Danisos' painful roars were mixed with his desperate struggle. His body shook violently, and ripples of light flowed out of all the gray scales on his body. The black rings that looked like growth rings all expanded and opened one after another. The time and space around were immediately slowed down. The legends, including the Demogorgon of Eyes, the werewolf prince Sonite, the primordial silver dragon, and the other level-three experts, all slowed down, as if they were performing a play. The mist of dreams and the bloody lightning were also frozen like gelatinous substances.
However, no matter how hard Danisos struggled, the light of the silver moon was still shining on his back. The hazy, beautiful figure was still squatting there, and her hands that were holding the silver longsword did not shake at all. However, the black fire of nothingness that was entangled on the longsword was shaking violently. In the meantime, unimaginably complicated yet extremely simple symbols flowed in the black fire into the body of Danisos, the Dragon of Time and Brilliance!
It was Alterna, the God of the Silver Moon!
The eyes of the Demogorgon of Darkness that were changing colors were suddenly frozen. He was both a top legend and the "master" of the demiplane. Also, there was a distance between them. Therefore, he was not affected by Danisos' desperate outburst and directly sensed the high and mighty air of indifference. Even though the Silver Moon Alterna was not looking at him, a pair of crimson eyes seemed to be popping up in his head indifferently.
Damn Dracula. Didn't he say that the Silver Moon was near the Boundless Ocean? Didn't he say that he was conspiring with the Lord of Hell to deal with Pope Viken?
Also, why was the Silver Moon helping the Demogorgon of Eyes, the Six-Armed Inquisitor, the Void Demon, and the other legendary experts? He had three vampire princes on his side who were truly on his side. Killing them wouldn't affect him at all! Even if he wanted to save the werewolf, he didn't have to react so intensely, did he?
Judging from his grasp of the timing, he seemed to have been taking advantage of it all the time!
Gonheim had no doubt that the Silver Moon had arrived in person!
What should he do?
Should Dracula stall Lucien? Should Evans save Danisos and stop the Silver Moon together with him? As long as he could stall the enemy for a minute or two, it would be enough for the "mastermind" to completely arrive on the Elder Mind and take down the legends with the advantage of numbers.
However, Danisos had been directly hit by the Silver Moon's Sword of Origin and Termination. He would've been crippled even if he hadn't been killed. How long could he stall the Silver Moon after he saved him? If he was caught in the trap, he wouldn't be able to run away even if he wanted to!
So, should he leave immediately and give up the opportunity to escape?
As the demon that was most like a devil, Gonheim naturally had the nature of a devil. He liked to weigh the pros and cons. As long as there were dangers and greater temptations, he would abandon or betray his original partners without any hesitation. As for the contracts and vows, he had naturally left loopholes for himself to escape with his cunningness. Besides, few witnesses could supervise the execution of his contracts. Even if he violated them, he wouldn't necessarily suffer any losses. If the Lord of Hell was a witness, would he have the courage to enter the abyss to look for him?
Thinking too many thoughts, Gonheim weighed the pros and cons. Of course, he knew that it was urgent, and he had to make a decision as soon as possible whether to escape or to save the enemy.
However, right then, below another narrow window, David, who had passed out because of the air of the battle of legends, floated up. His hair turned as silver as the moon, and he looked at the Demogorgon of Darkness with a smile.
Rhein, the Observer!
Gonheim saw that David's face quickly turned devilishly handsome, and two enormous black bat wings were unfolded on his back. He was exactly Rhein, the Silver-Eyed Count!
"When did you replace him?" Gonheim asked solemnly.
David was an important part of his plan. So, he had "turned" the guy into one of his own. He did not pay any attention to him until Natravos was killed for sure. Instead, he simply asked the guy to deliver the message. But as it turned out, David had become "Observer" Rhine without him knowing it.
Rhine smiled and didn't say anything. He raised his right hand slightly, just like a conductor in a concert. Following his movement, a lonely, cold moon suddenly rose outside the narrow window behind him, and the light completely shone on his body.
This time, he did not summon the Silver Moon but condensed a "moon" that belonged to him with his own strength.
His strength had been significantly improved, too … Seeing that, the Demogorgon of Darkness made a decision, which was to break out of Rhein and escape back to the abyss.
Therefore, when the darkness fell, the light that was too weak to be detected was moving inside, creating a deep coldness that felt like the end of the universe. It was a darkness that barely had any temperature, a darkness that was lonely and lifeless. It was the purest and most desperate darkness!
Rhein waved his right hand, and a "symphony" burst out. The "moon" fell from the sky and crashed into the darkness, emitting infinite silver brilliance that filled the entire horizon.
When the Demogorgon of Darkness fought Rhein, Lucien was looking at Dracula, whose face was gloomy, and said with a smile, "If I hadn't 'smelled' the air of the Silver Moon, would I have come in so recklessly?"
Dracula was both jealous and angry. Why could he not smell the air of the Primordial Ancestor, but a human sorcerer could?
What did he do wrong?
In his fury, his body collapsed into countless bats that swarmed at Lucien overwhelmingly.
Those bats were the size of skulls, with narrow, pointy mouths that were emitting blood. They looked hideous and terrifying.
Lucien knew that the bats that Dracula turned into could directly swallow energy, so he did not activate 'Elemental Protection' but pressed the 'Moon Timer' in his right hand.
The Moon Timer that was full of mechanical beauty was ticking. After Lucien pressed it, it immediately stopped after a crack. Then, the colors around faded, and everything was covered in gray and lifeless. The bats were frozen in midair like bugs that were enshrouded in amber.
Instead of performing 'Luxury Cracking' as usual, Lucien simply used 'Vengeful Gaze' that was attached with 'Hand of Uncertainties'. His right eye became clear and as beautiful as a ruby, and a ray of light was shot out of it.
Lucien did that because Dracula was adept at resisting time and space freezing with his super powerful ability of 'Night Travel'. Even if he was not immune to 'Advanced Time Stop', he could still break it many seconds in advance.
Suddenly, the frozen bats tied up the shadow and collapsed where they were. In the gray and lifeless time and space, the shadow of a golden sundial popped up. Every mark of time was a different symbol made of gems, and at the center was a narrow, long, golden pestle.
The shadow of the golden pestle spun quickly on the surface of the sundial, and the frozen time was immediately restored to normal. Dracula, wearing a black tailcoat and a black cloak, appeared again. At this moment, 'Vengeful Gaze' had already reached his face.
Dracula's face was pale, and his crimson eyes contained deep fury. He simply allowed 'Vengeful Gaze' to hit him.
However, just as the Vengeful Gaze touched his body, a dim black fog rose up. An instant later, the scarlet ray disappeared without a trace.
Was it the power of 'Blood Power Elimination'?
Lucien was rather shocked. Even though he knew that Prince Dracula could deprive and swallow other people of one of their extraordinary abilities, he did not expect that he could deprive them of the power of Elimination too. The sundial that broke 'Time Stop' just now might not be a Transcendent item but a certain unique ability.
Although the abilities that were deprived would be one level lower than his own level, it was not hard to imagine how terrifying Prince Dracula's abilities were. No wonder he had always been one of the top three on the Cleansing List.
However, Lucien was not scared at all. Faced with the enormous shadow that Prince Dracula turned into, he raised his hand with a smile.
"Eternal Blaze!"
Using Eternal Blaze in such an enclosed environment? Was he not scared that he would be killed too? Gonheim, the Demogorgon of Darkness who was trying to escape, was greatly shocked.
He knew very well that 'Eternal Blaze' carried out by Douglas was close to the attack of a demigod, and Lucien was as strong as Douglas right now. Also, 'Eternal Blaze' came from his legendary class and was closely related to his cognitive world and demiplane. Therefore, his' Eternal Blaze 'could only be more powerful than Douglas'. It was possible that it was as powerful as the attack of a real demigod!
The most dazzling light burst out like a rising sun, but it was much less powerful than Gonheim imagined.
No!
Faced with the pure and overwhelming sunlight, Dracula screamed miserably. The shadow that he turned into was gone, and terrible blisters appeared on his face!
Ever since he advanced into the peak of legendary, Lucien had grasped 'Eternal Blaze' very precisely and could control the power precisely. What he triggered just now was only a small-scale 'fusion'. With the super high temperature, particle rays, and 'overwhelming sunlight' at the center, even level-three legends could've blocked it as long as it was not at the center and undefended. However, Dracula was different. He was a primordial vampire, and it was the 'sunlight' that he was most scared of!
Hoooooo!
Danisos roared regretfully. The black fire of nothingness on the Sword of Origin and Destiny had enshrouded him and carved 'symbols' on his body.
Suddenly, the Silver Moon Alterna unsheathed her longsword, and black fire spurted out. Flames of nothingness were generated in the void around too, "igniting" the magic tower, the chaotic forest, and the entire demiplane!
The chaotic and corrupted air of the abyss was gone, and a bright moon appeared in the sky. Danisos, on the other hand, shrank his body and crouched before Alterna's feet.
Taking the opportunity, the Demogorgon of Darkness took a hit from Rhein and fled back to the abyss.
Looking at the Demogorgon of Eyes, the Six-Armed Inquisitor, and the other legendary experts who were freed from the frozen time and space, Alterna announced solemnly, "I am your Speaker."
Huh? All the legendary experts were stunned.
