915 One Step Ahead. (1/2)
”I never wanted to resort to force…” Heinze was actually feeling regretful. ”I don't mean that I can't bear it, but it's because those last remaining guards certainly had Derivatives with them.”
The Sorcerer Congress had been established for the purpose of controlling Derivatives under Newtlud's initiative.
After so many years, even if they only encountered one serious incident every few years, they must have accumulated quite a number of Derivatives by now.
Removing the Derivatives that were superfluous or lacked combat peculiarities, there still had to be a few useful ones! This was the final trump card of the entire Sorcerer Congress.
Heinze had been investigating these Derivatives all this time, but he had not managed to find out anything. He even aroused suspicion.
At this moment, on both sides of the huge golden door, a few sorcerers collapsed.
Two senior sorcerers remained. One looked solemn and was wearing a pair of sunglasses!
That's right, sunglasses! These kinds of cheap products found everywhere on sunny beaches! Sunglasses that absolutely did not match his temperament!
Fang Yuan and Heinze immediately felt goosebumps and took cover. ”Derivative?!”
Splash!
The gaze of the senior sorcerer shifted toward a monster that was in midair.
With a 'Poof', the bat monster suddenly turned into a piece of strawberry cake.
Fang Yuan dabbed the butter at his side and smelled it. ”Hmm, the butter is sweet, and the strawberry fresh!”
He was dumbfounded. ”What is this? Cake beam? Turning targets in sight into cakes?”
One had to admit the peculiarities of Derivative could indeed be very strange. They were often full of the peculiarities of impermanence.
”Yes, cake… even our bodies would meet the same end if those sunglasses see them!” Heinze nodded.
His monster subordinates were only immune to spells. This effect, however, came from Derivatives. Their magic nullification barriers had no effect against the power of Derivatives.
The peculiarities of Derivatives were absolute. Even descended Demon Gods like them might not be able to resist.
”Fortunately… luck is on our side this time!”
Fang Yuan glanced at Heinze. The sly old fox nodded and flicked open a black cloak.
It was their loot in their earlier endeavor, the Invisibility Cloak. It could make its user disappear from the world and escape any detection.
This Derivative was obviously the nemesis of the sunglasses, which required gazing at its target.
The cloak covered Heinze's body, and he instantly disappeared. Footprints appeared one after another on the dust-covered floor and headed for the golden door.
However, even if the senior sorcerer knew where Heinze was, even if he stared so hard that tears seeped out from his eyes, he could not do anything to Heinze under the cloak.
Bang!
Heinze arrived in front of him and unceremoniously took off his sunglasses. He then slapped the sorcerer against the wall.
”Ahh!!!”
The representative beside the senior sorcerer yelled. Holding what looked like a freshly-made pancake, he tossed it lightly.
Swoosh!
Light flashed. The pancake swept through Heinze's waist and cut through the boulder behind him like tofu, sinking into unknown depths.
It looked like that pancake was sharper than any Divine Armament!
”Bastard…”
Heinze's upper body fell down, and blood erupted from the opening.
Anyone would be in agony after being split apart at the waist.
Luckily, he was no mortal, but a Demon God. Even his original lifeform had changed.
On the huge wound at his waist, the blood seemed to have a life of its own. It flowed back into his body, and numerous flesh buds swiftly connected the lower half with the upper half.
”Old fool!”
The raging Heinze grabbed the old man's limbs and tore them apart.
Whoosh!
The sorcerer split into pieces as organs and blood scattered across the floor.
”Truly incredible…”
Fang Yuan went to the rock face of the cave and managed to find the pancake with difficulty after using his psyche to search for it. He fished it out from the rock. ”The sharpest object in this world is a pancake. Who would believe it…”
He could see that the senior sorcerer who had thrown the pancake was not a trained warrior and had merely casually tossed it.
But even such a toss had managed to cut right through the demon body that Heinze had been refining for a few decades without even slowing down. It was truly incredible.
”It's a pity… there's no handle. It's easy to have an accident with this!”
