1264 Succeeding (1/2)
There was no need for any communication. Just from this sudden locking of eyes, Klein knew that Colin Iliad had the same thoughts as him.
He didn't hesitate to flip the black staff embedded with many gems and point it at himself.
In the next second, it was as if Klein's body was a sketch that had met an eraser. It was wiped away inch by inch, and he quickly disappeared.
This was the power of Concealment, one that also came from the leader of the ascetics of the Church of Evernight, Arianna.
As the power of Concealment that was replicated by the Staff of the Stars was definitely much weaker than the original version, and the evil spirit's level was rather high, Klein didn't attempt to use it on Dark Angel Sasrir. Instead, he targeted himself.
At the same time that he was ”concealed,” Colin Iliad fused into the faint light that illuminated everything in the shadow palace with his two swords of dawn.
Around Dark Angel Sasrir, who was dressed in a silver-threaded black robe, silver beams lit up one after another. Colin struck the evil spirit from different angles, forming a tornado that swept upwards. During this process, the gigantified Colin Iliad didn't appear at all. Furthermore, he hid his malicious intent, making it impossible for the enemy to determine where his next attack would come from.
Derrick Berg recovered from the shock and quickly condensed bright white ”Unshadowed Spears” as he wildly thrust them forward.
Amidst the crackling sounds, the Unshadowed Spears were either blocked by the black armor formed by the aura of Degeneration, or by the layered silvery-white sphere of lightning. He failed to truly hurt Dark Angel Sasrir, but it effectively affected his opponent's actions.
While the two City of Silver demigods were holding back that special evil spirit, Klein, who was in a ”concealed” state, approached the iron-black throne.
In his ”concealed” state, he saw veiled scenes that were covered in a dark fog. He could only roughly tell where he was and what the surrounding objects were. He was unable to exert any influence on the outside world. If not for this, the moment he entered the ”concealed” state, he could secretly control Sasrir's Spirit Body Threads. It would be a method impossible to fend against.
After rapidly approaching the iron-black throne, Klein ended his ”concealed” state, allowing his figure to instantly appear to the right of the target.
Following that, he aimed the Staff of the Stars at the grayish-white ancient stone slab.
Ignoring the contents on it, Klein quickly outlined a very familiar Beyonder power in his mind.
Boom!
Silver bolts of lightning shot out with a strong destructive aura, striking the first Blasphemy Slate.
This was the Lightning Storm power from the Sea God Scepter!
Boom!
Amidst the silver light that illuminated the surrounding area, an illusory ”light” that was almost invisible appeared between the first Blasphemy Slate and Dark Angel Sasrir. It was difficult to describe the exact color, but under the terrifying lightning's pandemonium, they evaporated and broke apart.
Pure beams of light shot out from Sasrir's body, leaving no darkness in the shadow palace. Nothing else could hide.
Unshadowed Domain.
The nearly six-meter-tall Colin IIliad appeared in his silver armor. Together with Klein, layers of blazing halos pushed them away into the distance. The attacks of Derrick's ”Unshadowed Spears” and ”Flaring Sun” were also blocked by these corporeal halos.
Right on the heels of that, Dark Angel Sasrir's eyes were dyed with a brass sheen. In each of them, an illusory river that shimmered with waves of light appeared, circling the first Blasphemy Slate and ”His” figure.
The ”river” flowed upstream as the illusory ”light” that had evaporated and severed appeared once again and connected to it.
The damage that Klein had painstakingly inflicted was quickly returned to normal.
The cycle of fate, the rebooting of all things!
Sasrir raised ”His” left hand and condensed a deep-black scepter. ”He” then used ”His” brass-like eyes to sweep across the demigods present. ”He” said in a deep but magnificent voice, ”I'm omniscient, and also omnipotent.”
As ”His” voice echoed in the air, both Klein and Colin Iliad didn't waver at all. They either ”Blinked” or moved at high speeds, not giving the terrifying evil spirit a chance to lock onto them. They also attempted to launch a new wave of attacks. However, Klein didn't dare to forcefully pull the Dark Angel into a dream again, because if he was attacked by the aura and power of Chaos Sea again, he might lose control immediately. Elsewhere, Derrick covered his body with a layer of pure light, forming holy armor.
At that moment, a pitch-black flame burned in Sasrir's brass eyes.
”His” voice turned evil and sinister, carrying a strong sense of ”Degeneration.”
”Blasphemer, die!”
Klein's body, heart, and soul suddenly sank. He felt as though he was about to die. His consciousness turned blurry as his energy evaporated; his flesh began to wither inch by inch.
Colin Iliad was slightly better than him. He only felt his body grow heavy as his life slipped away uncontrollably. The madness that came from his incomplete Mythical Creature form grew stronger.
Derrick, who was farthest from Dark Angel Sasrir, emitted bright bouts of sunlight, helping him quickly escape from his trance. He then opened his mouth.
”God says it's ineffective!”
The feeling of death instantly dissipated a little, allowing Klein and Colin Iliad to barely find themselves.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The giant-like Colin Iliad rushed towards Dark Angel Sasrir. Along the way, he kept changing his position, dodging unstoppable dark, sharp beams.
In the blink of an eye, he had already closed in on the target.
