Chapter 417 - Chapter 417: Chapter 397 "Death God" Chris (2/2)

“The Eyes of Conviction” didn’t work.

Some Mysterious rare artifacts of a formidable level, although not as powerful as Forbidden rare artifacts, have very good auxiliary effects such as “Flight,” “Invisibility,” “Resistance to mental attacks,” and “Fireproof.”

Additionally, owning Mysterious rare artifacts of a formidable level does not require any cost, so their actual value is not inferior to four-digit Forbidden rare artifacts.

However, even if an attack was ineffective, Chris didn’t care. He relentlessly pressed on with his attacks, time and again almost breaching the opponent’s line of defense against death.

He knew that void transformation couldn’t stay active indefinitely.

“Damn it!”

Marquis Middell roared furiously, constantly trying to put distance between himself and the attack, so as to not inadvertently harm his own direct lineage. He was acutely aware that the constant strain over this period had left the entire city’s population extremely exhausted, and now was the moment when the city’s defenses were at their most relaxed.

Nobody in the family could help him now; his cousin, a lower Monarch level, had also temporarily left the city.

Without a doubt, everything was under Chris Fischer’s control!

That’s why he chose this very moment—the easiest time to strike with success!

After some entanglement, many people from the manor rushed out, but their strength was too weak to be of any help.

“Family Head!”

“Marquis!”

“It’s ‘Death God’ Chris, he’s back again!”

Marquis Middell knew very well that his spiritual power was about to be depleted and that soon he would be unable to maintain his void state, which would swiftly bring his end.

Finally, he left the manor, creating enough distance from his important direct lineage, then Marquis Middell instantly activated the Icy Freeze power within his Domain, encasing the closely-combating Chris Fischer in ice.

However, after the Icy Freeze was successful, that flame once again fiercely burned over Chris’s body, and Marquis Middell knew that he could not keep him Frozen for long.

The terrible “Death God” breaking free from the ice was only a matter of time!

Therefore, he played his last two trump cards!

The first trump card was a Forbidden rare artifact numbered 501.

“Soul Tempering River Ring”

It was a ring with black and green colors interweaving, looking quite ancient, yet concealing a kind of malicious power.

Its mysterious effect was the ability to plunge targets nearby with hostile intent toward oneself into a deep unconsciousness—unless the unconscious person took damage, waking up would be very difficult.

The second trump card Marquis Middell counted on was the “Song of the Ruins Spirit,” the most powerful Extraordinary Power of the “Ruins Song Spirit.” He planned to combine this with the previous unconsciousness effect to seize Chris’s life.

“Spirit Song of the Ruins.”

It was a mighty power capable of directly snatching away souls, and Marquis Middell did not hesitate to begin chanting softly.

The voice rose quietly, a melody unlike any from the mortal realm, but rather a low chant from the Abyss, carrying a kind of magic Power that could penetrate the soul and reach into the deepest parts of the heart.

Chris nearly felt as if it were an ancient spell, gently plucked by invisible hands, with each note falling heavily into the silent air, causing ripples that were invisible to the eye.

The tune was complex and sinister, at times lamenting as if echoing the collective wail of numerous unfulfilled desires, ensnaring the listener’s thoughts and subconsciously dragging them into a profound sorrow. At other times, it became passionately fierce, adding an ominous and hopeless feeling, like the low rumble before a storm, presaging the disaster to come!

This singing voice contained an indescribable power that could penetrate the physical barrier and act directly upon the soul. With the melody’s fluctuations, the deepest parts of Chris’s heart were as if slowly torn open by invisible hands, revealing all the buried secrets, fears, desires, and even the most unwilling memories, floating on the edge of consciousness, unable to escape.

The soul was about to be taken away…

However, at the very moment when Chris was about to completely sink, he suddenly activated “Rift Moment”!

What he had been waiting for was precisely this moment—when Marquis Middell entirely switched from defense to offense!

In an instant, Marquis Middell felt a profound threat of death and immediately began to regret his decision to stop using void transformation and start the “Spirit Song.”

Had he chosen the wrong tactic?

And why on earth had the “Soul Tempering River Ring”‘s unconsciousness effect not worked on that man?

Chris, holding a white shinbone and a black blade, was trembling from the “Spirit Song of the Ruins,” but thanks to the strong resistance conferred by his “Secret Spell Lake” ability, his soul was not immediately taken, and even the effect of the Soul Tempering River Ring didn’t work.

Marquis Middell instinctively wanted to activate his void transformation again, but it was already too late!

Everything around had already been brought to a standstill!
