633 Horns of Paradise (2/2)
The black gate was opened, and Lucien's pupils constricted abruptly. Inside the grey hall stood a sacred and handsome seraph whose six wings were flapping slowly with a touch of sunlight and a gentle breeze. A vast cosmos seemed to be lying in his eyes.
He stood here at such ease as if he had seen through Lucien's route and was waiting for him on purpose.
”The Angle of Wind!” Lucien recognized him and cast a spell without any hesitation:
”Vengeful Gaze!”
At such a moment, even the delay of one second would've killed him. He had to attack while looking for an opportunity to escape!
'Hand of Uncertainties' and 'Vengeful Gaze' were activated at the same time. Lucien's left eye became clear and bright like the most beautiful ruby, shooting out a red ray that hit the Angel of Wind!
After he launched the attack, Lucien suppressed the remaining holy light inside his body and activated 'Chaos Teleportation' on the Holm Crown Ring.
A gentle breeze whirled, covering and dissolving the red ray, which was soon gone before Arvin, the Godly Eye.
He sniffed softly, as if he sensed something weird in the spell that did not work. Then, he pointed at the enemy, ”Confinement!”
Countless gentle breezes blew between the two grey halls, disrupting the space and eliminating waves. Lucien was unable to escape through teleportation!
”Space Staff!” At such a critical moment, Lucien could only react accordingly without thinking about anything else!
The ripples were gathered into the staff of a king. As Lucien tapped, all the gentle breezes were shattered. Then, he activated 'Grandeur Obliteration' on the Robe of Grand Arcanists!
Tiny black spots that contained the intense power of destruction appeared before the Godly Eye, but his face did not change at all. His six wings were fully unfolded, and the light of the sun filled the hall, neutralizing the Grandeur Obliteration.
”Regather!”
Lucien activated the life-preserving spell on him!
It was a legendary spell that was cast on his soul in advance, so it was not nullified by the light of paradise!
Disappearing from where he was, Lucien was ready to 'regather' with Natasha.
However, when he appeared again, he was still inside the hall, except that he was before another black gate.
There was indeed no space-time connection between this place and the outside world!
The disappointment did not crush Lucien, because he had got away from the Angel of Wind at least. His figure suddenly split into many Luciens who ran towards different gates.
Arvin sniffed. Playing Illusions in front of the Godly Eye?
”Godly Eye!”
Countless brilliant stars glowed in his eyes, breaking the images of Lucien and revealing the real Lucien who was about to open the black gate and escape.
Lucien had a silver, delicate pocket watch in his right hand. Sliding his thumb on the dial quickly, he slowed down the black second hand, and the time around was decelerated accordingly.
Hehe. Arvin snorted again. The sunlight and the gentle breeze that covered the whole hall burst out simultaneously, blowing away the change of time and space.
The Angel of Fate was naturally good at space and time!
”Sigh of Wind!” Arvin seized the opportunity and attacked with divine power.
A bluish wind rushed over with the air of judgment.
”Space Staff!” A dreamy staff was gathered before Lucien again, building a space barrier for him.
As the Sigh of Wind hit the space barrier, cracking sounds echoed nonstop, and it was broken after only one moment. Because of the gap of almost three levels, Lucien's Space Staff could not entirely resist the attack even though it was quite powerful.
Lucien did not give up in such a desperate situation. He planned to transform into a legendary knight and sought for a chance of survival with the Sword of Truth!
Cough. At the critical moment, the holy light that filled his lungs like water played their role. Lucien had trouble breathing, and his magic was halted.
Seizing the opportunity, Arvin announced solemnly, ”Pacification of Wind.”
Heavy. His soul became so heavy that Lucien found it barely possible to keep his eyes open.
I can't sleep! I can't sleep!
Clinging to the last bit of consciousness, Lucien made up his mind that he had to blow himself up in order not to be hit by the Light of Judgment!
Would he be resurrected in his magic tower if he detonated himself inside the Realm of Gates?
”You are very tough. I'm respectful of you even though you are evil. Few people have fought so long under the influence of the light of paradise.” Arvin walked toward Lucien and extended his long and fair right hand. ”Purging you will be my respect for you.”
