Chapter 2103 - Slaying the Ghost Ruler (2/2)
“Impossible, this isn’t happening!” Zu Xiangtian yelled.
Zu Xiangtian was an experienced Mage. He tried to control the fear in his heart, turning the flames around him into a Wall bearing a ghastly face in order to shield himself.
He knew it was the Soul-Locking effect of Curse Magic when he felt his soul being targeted. An enemy’s attack would enlarge significantly in his heart when his soul was being locked on. Even a normal fireball would seemingly turn into a sea of flames!
Zu Xiangtian was a Curse Mage himself, and was trying his best to break free from the Soul-Locking effects!
When the Demon Saber slashed down, the whole fortress soaking in the seawater trembled. A few pillars of lava rose from the ground when the force of the slash sliced through the shallow water.
The black Saber had turned Zu Xiangtian’s surroundings into a volcanic belt, with lava surging from below. Zu Xiangtian mistook the Saber standing firmly under the clouds as the real threat. The ghastly-faced Wall he had established was completely useless!
The pillars of lava rose to a height of several hundred meters. From afar, it looked like black towering structures were being constructed in the fortress, even taller than the old buildings, pitch-black and covered in restless demonic Auras. The slash had basically formed a magnificent cluster of demonic buildings!
The power that Zu Xiangtian had taken from the Underworld Ghost Ruler was nothing in comparison. The dark blue flames engulfing him dissipated. Even the special Runes he bore were filled with the demonic Aura emitted by the Saber and turned into corroded wounds!
Zu Xiangtian decisively withdrew the Underworld Ghost Ruler when he realized it was at its limit.
Zu Xiangtian climbed out of the Underworld Ghost Ruler’s body miserably, like he had just shed a layer of burned skin. The skin soon turned into an insignificant puff of flame and burned to ashes after Zu Xiangtian discarded it.
Zu Xiangtian glanced at his battle attire, which was now covered in scratches and scars. It didn’t look tailored anymore, but like something he had taken out of a trash bin!
“It seems like the Zu Clan invested a lot in you for the duel!” Mo Fan rested the Demon Blade on his shoulder and mocked Zu Xiangtian’s miserable appearance.
Zu Xiangtian had not sustained any severe injuries, managing to discard the Underworld Ghost Ruler in time. He was also wearing expensive magic Armor.
The Underworld Ghost Ruler was as good as dead. Not only did Zu Xiangtian lose one of his forms, the Armor that had cost several hundred million was broken too!
Zu Xiangtian might not have been injured, but he had suffered great losses!
“They were expandable. It doesn’t concern me,” Zu Xiangtian grinned back nastily.
The Zu Clan was resourceful and rich. He could just subdue another powerful creature after losing the Underworld Ghost Ruler, and buy some new Armor after his old one was destroyed. The Zu Clan was eventually going to be his. The cost was acceptable if it was necessary to establish his status as the strongest young Mage in the country!
