Chapter 166: A decisive battle with the God of Death
“Skunk Devil Summoning!”
Ayrin’s hands were already in motion the moment Lotton lifted his head. A giant striped skunk fell from the air and released a cloud of stink.
“Just how much do you love this skill?!”
Charlotte was soon going to become crazy, but then she immediately came back to her senses. Ayrin could let Audrey and Ivan and the others find his position like this.
Only, even if Audrey and the others could rush over, would they be his match?
She was so nervous she couldn’t breathe at all, even if Ayrin hadn’t launched his skill,
The aura of death surrounding Lotton was really too terrifying. She’d never met an existence with such a fearsome aura even while undergoing missions in the army.
“It’s no use,” Lotton suddenly said just then, looking at Ayrin.
“What the hell is this bloody thing!”
Ayrin suddenly felt Lotton’s gaze hit him like something tangible. In this instant, he felt Lotton’s eyes become wholly dark gray.
And in the same instant, he felt many cold streams of air suddenly flowing inside him. They even made his heart bang fiercely in his chest, and his body feel heavier and heavier.
A terrifying feeling, as though he was going to die at any moment, grew increasingly bigger inside him.
However, his subconscious mind didn’t want to yield to this feeling. He roared wildly in his heart of heart, “Get lost! Why would someone die so easily?!”
The inexplicable feeling of fear instantly crumbled inside him.
“Ah!” Charlotte exclaimed.
She opened her eyes wide in fright. She saw a shadow seemingly emerge on Ayrin’s back like a monster drilling out of his body, crushing him beneath it. But in the space of a blink, this shadow immediately vanished.
“Evil Flaming Eye!”
An Evil Flaming Eye shot at Lotton with a rumble.
Under the contrasting born from the light of the fire, Lotton’s face seemed more emaciated than a few days ago, his eyes a little more sunken, the atmosphere coming from his face even more frightening.
“Twine of Death—Shadow Coffin.” Lotton lifted his head, a peculiar expression once again flashing across his lifeless eyes. His arms hung immobile at his sides, but countless black, grain-shaped shadows rose from his back, forming a coffin.
The shadow coffin directly swallowed the blazing Evil Flaming Eye.
Lotton didn’t act immediately after withstanding Ayrin’s attack with a casting speed far exceeding Ayrin’s own. He merely looked at Ayrin and said in a cold, deep tone, “You can actually free yourself from the influence of my Death God’s Dread Seal? You’re going to be killed soon, aren’t you afraid at all?”
“I’m a brave warrior. No matter how strong my enemy, I’ll still fight with my life on the line. What’s there to be afraid of?” Ayrin looked at Lotton, his face brimming with a will for war, loudly saying, “I think you’re the one who should be afraid. Your plan to make Eichemalar crash on the ground has already failed. There are so many powerful arcane teams inside the city, there’s no way you can escape.”
“No, the reason you don’t feel fear is because you don’t know what true fear is yet.” Lotton shook his head, the aura of death thicker and thicker in his eyes.
With Ayrin acting as a shield in front of her, Charlotte’s fear had imperceptibly been cut by more than a half. She immediately shouted when she felt the intense undulation of arcane particles on Lotton, “Be careful!”
All the remaining arcane particles left inside her surged on and out. A silver-white metallic war avatar appeared near Ayrin and her.
She’d already lost one war avatar beforehand. With her current arcane level, combining her particles once again with arcane energy to form another avatar was already the limit for her
“What’s he doing!”
His face grave, his fighting spirit burning even fiercer, Ayrin saw several black orbs suddenly shot out from Lotton. But what made him startled was, these orbs rippling with mighty undulations of arcane energy weren’t flying at him and Charlotte.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …
Several loud rumbles exploded in succession. These black orbs had actually gone into every outbound passage and produced continuous detonations. Section by section, all those tunnels crumbled, section by section, who knew how deeply through.
The three of them, as well as the passed-out Chirade, seemed to have been buried alive somewhere deep underground. Even the air clearly seemed to be more turbid.
“The sewers under Eichemalar are already in a mess because of the outpour. Who knows how much of it has been damaged. Now, even if several arcane teams conducted an all-out search, they still wouldn’t quickly find your existences.”
Lotton looked at Ayrin and Charlotte. “From now on, you can slowly start to taste fear and despair.”
“Are you an idiot?” Ayrin suddenly said.
Charlotte blinked.
Lotton obviously blinked as well.
“Isn’t it all the same, what’s there to be afraid of?” Ayrin looked at Lotton and said in derision, “Even Stingham would probably think you’re an idiot if he were here.”
“Does Ayrin really not feel even a bit of fear? We’re trapped here… He can restrict Audrey, Ivan, and Joyce even just by himself. The two of us couldn’t possibly be his match. Is Ayrin really not afraid at all he’ll kill us?” Charlotte looked blankly at Ayrin, her mind filled with this kind of thought.
“Charlotte, don’t be afraid. His arcane skills should be ones disrupting the nerves to enlarge the feeling of fear countless times over, then causing you to lose control of your own body. As long as we fight bravely, his most powerful skill will lose all effectiveness!” Ayrin shouted at her just then.
“The true fear of death, it’s completely impossible to escape from it by deceiving yourself.”
Lotton shook his head when he heard Ayrin’s shout.
