Chapter 558 - Close Encounter 4 (2/2)

Luke was impressed as the subspace was huge.

“Kuek, a reverse summoning?”

It was a technique where a magic circle was used to reverse the normal conditions of summoning a demon into the world by sending in a target into the Devildom.

Maybe it was another one of their tricks that had been prepared if the explosion didn’t take out the army of the Holy Empire.

“Kuakkkk!”

As soon as Luke’s body got swallowed into the subspace, remnants of the Veritas Magic Tower burst into laughter.

“Kukkk. It was a success!”

“Surely, Mr. Baymon’s preparedness has worked for our advantage.”

“But, who was that man? I expected Arch Duke Gregory to come, but some other guy seemed to have made an appearance?”

“It doesn’t matter now.”

However, their joyful conversations about the success of their plan only lasted for so long.

Luke, who they thought would have ended up in Devildom, came out of the subspace.

“Wha… No…!”

The warlocks that saw what happened couldn’t help but be shocked. It was because everything they believed was crumbling in front of them.

“Kuk, I used this reverse summon once on one of Rudolf’s dogs.”

Luke used the reverse summon numerous times, including the time when he lad the SS Knights who were led by Kurian.

Therefore, the structure of the reverse summoning circle installed by Veritas’ remnants was easy to understand and change.

“D-damn it! Run!”

“We can’t deal with that man!”

The remnants of Veritas Magic Tower, who realized that they weren’t a match for the unknown man, attempted to escape with Teleport magic.

However, Luke was a step ahead of them.

“Cyclone Rage!”

“S-save me!… Kuakkk!”

When he used the second half of the Gold Sword, the remnants didn’t take much time to turn into ash by decomposing.

There was just one person remaining.

If it wasn’t for Luke’s decision to leave one person and gain information, he would have been killed, yet it was of no use.

“Uhk! Uhhhh!”

“Tch! This one seems to have lost it.”

The warlocks, who went insane at the sight of his colleagues literally ‘decomposing’ in front of his eyes, grabbed onto his head and screamed.

Luke, who disposed of the man who couldn’t take the truth about his colleagues’ death, flew to the north gate and not the south.

He managed to detect an unusual energy from the north while he was battling with Veritas’ remnants.

He wouldn’t have thought of it as a huge deal if the problem had been handled. However, the problem was that he could feel Aether rising from there.

And the only ones who could handle Aether on the continent were Reina and Karen, who was missing.

And in the current situation, it seemed more likely for the Aether to belong to Reina.

“She really can’t listen to anyone. I asked her to wait. Even then, she doesn’t listen to me!”

No matter how pissed he was, he had to hurry.

It was because he could feel the aura of a strange form of dark magic along with Aether.

Moreover, the owner of the dark magic was someone Luke was familiar with.

A few years ago, while he was fighting in the civil war of the Holy Empire, he had a brief battle outside of Castia Kingdom.

‘It is dangerous! No matter how much Aether resides in Reina’s body, that monster can’t be taken down…’

Bannngggg!

All of a sudden, huge flash of light with a terrifying blast happened in the north.

Luke was shocked and puzzled, so he stopped in mid-air.

“What the hell just happened? What the hell is going on here?!”

Luke, who clenched his chest, began to move faster than ever.

As he flew there, he saw something staggering on the other side.

‘That!’

His face was crushed. However, Luke was able to recognize him very clearly.

It was his own body, which he had lost after his death 500 years ago. The body that was used by Arsene to create a monster.

The body of Devil King Saymon!
