808 The Devils (1/2)
Memphiste, or Greed, was stunned for a moment and then grinned. ”I just wanted things to be easier. No matter how you feel, what would happen had already happened. I've told you. The moment since you wanted Stellar Core, your defense cracked.
”… Then you'll see the true primeval hell and all the primeval devils there!”
It was not hiding its greed at all.
Every facet of the pure Stellar Core suddenly reflected a figure; a humanlike monster with goat horns!
The many figures then jumped out and joined together in the air, until they formed a huge monster. Its eyes were scarlet, skin pale, with big wings on its back. On the top of its head, there were two silver goat horns. It was Tiphotidis, the Master of Argent, which fell many years ago!
Its scarlet eyes were burning with fury as it hated everything in this world so badly. Coming from the deepest death, it wanted to burn every living thing down.
”It's all your fault! All of you! My plan was perfect!” it cried in a bitter tone.
Obviously, the resurrection method saved by the Master of Argent had been used by the devil of abhorrence. It was now only a container of the devil!
Speaking of which, the white halos surrounding it spread out in all directions. That was the biggest difference between it and Memphiste. Only the Lord of Silent Hell and a great level three legendary devil could own the power of Ice Death Halo!
The silver-white halos like waves reached further and froze the gray bricks, broken stone pillars, dark-red soil, and even the air.
The freezing was not from extremely low temperature, but the power of corrosion from death. Even the lifeless buildings had been infected by the dead air, and the entire place now felt like a cold tomb.
The devil of abhorrence was the devil with the worst temper. It was used to launch a direct attack to let out the hatred within!
The moment the halos spread out, Greed had started using Memphiste's extraordinary power, Ice Duke, to launch its attack.
At this time, they heard a gentle, remote clicking sound.
In the cold and silent space, the sound seemed to be so cheerful that it was almost creepy.
Click.
Lucien pressed the button and everything instantly came into a pause.
The world had become even quieter now. Lucien then gave Luxury Cracking to each one of them.
He then blinked to a place far away from the temple. He lifted his right hand and the Atomic Universe appeared behind his back. The raging, huge fireball was right beside his right hand, and the extremely high temperature was twisting the air, creating unrecognizable illusionary images.
”Eternal Blaze!”
At this time, Lucien did not care if the Stellar Core would be ruined in the explosion. Just seeing it with his own eyes had made his journey worthwhile!
Lucien could not let greed blind him at this crucial moment.
BOOM!
When time resumed, the power of Eternal Blaze took over!
The entire space was ablaze with the dazzling light, as if a sun god had arrived.
The temple in the middle and the two primeval devils were vaporized within a second before they could even release a bitter cry.
After the extremely high temperature and the blinding light, the powerful energy storm had come to Lucien. However, the almighty power could not hurt Lucien at all, what with the layers of twisted air shielding him.
Because of the special environment in this primeval hell, the mushroom cloud, while shockingly gorgeous, now appeared to be even more beautiful, but in a creepy way, like a huge red straw hat.
After everything calmed down, there was only a huge pit in the ground left. The devils were now gone forever.
Lucien was surprised to see something at the bottom of the pit. It was a shining ”gem”.
It was the Stellar Core. The great power of the spell did not destroy it. Lucien started casting the spells to rule out any possible danger from it.
The gravity pulling time and space in from the core had disappeared, and maybe this was the reason why it could stand the horrible power. Although the stellar core had temporarily lost its power to affect its surroundings, its power was still slowly recovering.
Lucien picked it up and put it into his pouch.
At this time, when Lucien was about to leave this place, he suddenly heard the high-pitched, exaggerated laughter.
”There's no use! You can't kill us!”
”The defense of your heart has cracked. Then you'll see the true primeval hell and all the primeval devils there!”
In the roaring and laughter, Lucien was stunned for a second as he did not expect that they also liked the term ”primeval devils”.
Lucien ignored the mocking but headed for the relic in the depth of the primeval hell.
