Chapter 356 - Luke is Gone 1 (1/2)

“What are you going to do, Marquis Luke?”

Like Hwang Bo-sung, Arch Duke Gregory, who read the unusual mood talked in a very low voice.

“I will use my hidden power.”

“Dark Magic? Is that possible in here?”

At Luke’s words, Gregory, as well as those who were still alive, looked forward.

They never thought that they would be anticipating for dark magic to be used to save their lives.

“It will be tough. This damn block will absorb all of the magi from the dark magic.”

Magi too was a force which got split from Aether.

Therefore, there was no way dark magic will escape from the Aether absorbing barrier.

‘I can’t completely stop it from absorbing. However…’

A pot with holes had no choice but to leak.

However, there needs to be a lot of water in the pot nor will the water won’t leak out at once.

Rather, it would overflow from the top.

The problem was, Luke wasn’t sure how big the hole of the pot was.

‘There is surely a limit to how much magic this cage can absorb at one time. So, only when we exert our abilities, our power will get sucked up and vitality will be down.’

Luke, who judged the situation, spoke to Arch Duke Gregory.

“I will make sure to break off this bar somehow. So… Arch Duke, please live and protect Reina.”

“It sounds like a last will.”

“Maybe it is.”

Gregory frowned at the bitter response from Luke.

“You need to live. I don’t wish to see the Pope sad.”

“Huh. Understood.”

Luke smiled listening to Gregory’s statement which meant that he had acknowledged his relationship with Reina.

But the smile didn’t last that long.

With the magic of Erwin’s Fire Explosion running around, Nanas who watched the flames die was ready to give orders to her warriors.

‘I need to hurry.’

Luke stood in the front of the cage and grabbed a grill with both his hands.

Although he could feel his vitality escaping at a frightening pace, he opened up the powers of demons without hesitation.

“Build Up!”

DuDuDu!

DU DU DU DU!

When Luke triggered the third phase of Build Up, a purple glow began to rise all over his body.

At the same time, the muscles began to swell with clothes tearing off and revealing black skin.

There were small horns coming from his head, with scales on arms and hands.

After seeing Luke change his appearance, Nanas and the other fairies were startled.

It was the same with Gregory and the Saint Guards.

“This, this is the dark magic?”
