760 Greed Is the Sin (2/2)
Lucien's cast was slowed down, and he noticed unexpected changes on the altar.
Harex had been standing in the other magic circle to complete the status transformation through ”Dark Jellyfish” Tyers. In such a way, he could both achieve his purpose and restrain the negative feelings inside the puppet without affecting himself. However, at this moment, the runes and lines that connected the two magic circles were covered in pain, desperation, and greed.
The ever-wriggling amalgamation, on the other hand, had passed through the restraint of magic circles at some point and jumped on Harex's body!
Such a change was utterly unexpected. Not only was Harex shocked and infuriated, but Lucien, who was quite familiar with the status transformation circle, also felt that it was uncanny. Although he did not know the unique symbols and patterns of the sea clans, it was not hard for him to tell that the amalgamation of primeval devils could have easily escaped from the magic circle.
What went wrong?
Though surprised, Harex was not panicked. The golden trident in his hands glittered again, and tides surged out and about to block the amalgamation of primeval devils that was almost kissing his body.
”Haha. Harex, it's useless. Your reaction is not bad, albeit a bit late, because you are fundamentally wrong. I always tell everybody that greed will lower the IQ of an expert, but nobody believes me. Hehe. Such idiots appear every day.” The black, wriggling amalgamation of primeval devils suddenly mocked.
The familiar voice and mockery stunned Lucien.
”The Lord of Hell?”
”Maltimus!” Harex was no stranger to the voice either. He roared in both shock and fury, and his previous calmness had a hint of panic now.
Even though he was a top legend who dominated the ocean, he would still be panicked and scared when he learned that he had fallen into a trap of a demigod who had existed for who knew how many years!
Maltimus revealed his identity without any disguise exactly for the momentary panic. He seized the flaw on Harex's mind as the black, wriggling shadow crawled into his body, thus finishing the preliminary integration!
”Hahaha. Ever since the end of the Age of Myths, I've been looking for a shell in which I could arrive at the main material world stably. It's a pity that nothing except the top legends can bear my strength, not even the body of a dragon. So, I never found an opportunity. Thankfully, Viken secretly released the ways to transform into primeval devils, and thankfully, you people who are blinded by greed have been trying relentlessly. I can barely miss the opportunities even if I want to. Who knows the primeval devils better than I do?” Maltimus continued to mock Harex with his words and laughter, hoping to finish the possession as soon as possible.
”No!” Harex held back the fluctuations of his emotions and activated the Blue Key on his golden trident without any hesitation, which then emanated an unimaginable brilliance.
The Blue Gate shivered slightly as the hazy blueness was compressed and concentrated on the Blue Key. Then, infinite blueness surged out of the Blue Key, like an overwhelming and dangerous tide.
The tide galloped like horses with the brilliance that was as thick as oil, brushing the amalgamation of primeval devils that had partly melted into Harex's body, dismembering the creeping blackness layer by layer.
At the dangerous moment, Harex did not attempt to control his strength but simply allowed the surging seawater to overflow. As a result, Lucien, who had just gotten rid of the Blue Restraint, was immobilized by the thick light again.
”Idiot, why are you stopping me?” Lucien cursed angrily. When faced with the Lord of Hell, shouldn't all the creatures of the main material world who are sane take the same side? I'm about to stop him from occupying your body!
However, Lucien knew very well that Harex had little time to distinguish friends from foes at such a moment and would only rule out all the possible dangers. It was not unusual for sorcerers to work with devils!
”Luxury Cracking!”
The Luxury Cracking enhanced with Hand of Uncertainties that he prepared before was launched, and the thick seawater around Lucien was immediately gone. However, because of the influence of the Blue Gate, there was still a tiny bit left up ahead.
Lucien was about to continue with Grandeur Obliteration on the Robe of Grand Arcanists when a silver sword suddenly flashed in his pupils. The tiny bit of blueness immediately fell apart and collapsed.
Natasha had arrived in time after the Blue Restraint was gone!
