Chapter 30 Despair? Fear? What is that?
Morley Palace, royal study.
Isrell, who was watching the battle of the sacrificial land in the city with a powerful spirit, exclaimed lightly and his face became serious: "Has the summoning been successful? And the clone of a great demon in the extreme realm of mind, the peak of the golden..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a clear distortion of time and space around his fists, and a chaotic light burst out. Countless collapsed surface worlds were structured into pieces of debris surrounding it. His Majesty the Emperor was preparing to mobilize his strength to give the demon and its body located in the abyss a head-on blow.
"Wait a little bit, Isrell."
Nostradamus, who was standing beside him, stretched out his hand and stopped the fist ready to go. The old mage's eyes were full of curiosity: "Let's see what methods does this Northland Earl who always surprises us have when facing the demons."
Actually, there is no means.
On the edge of the imperial capital, the wooden hut originally used as a sacrifice completely collapsed under the impact of a huge force. The strong wind carried countless debris and rushed towards all directions. In the smoke and dust of the ruins, it seemed that two giant beasts were fighting closely.
They tangled for a while, and then, accompanied by the panic screams of the people around them, the red light flashed, and a huge shadow was banged into the air with a "bang". Before the others could see clearly what the shadow was, another human figure surrounded by the red light flew into the sky and kicked it back to the ground.
The huge shadow fell heavily to the ground. The streets built by the rocks were shattered by the impact of the meteorites. Countless cracks spread to the periphery like radiation, and even caused large areas of collapse. The dust columns soared into the sky, covering up several surrounding streets.
Then, a shrill scream that was not as loud as a human voice came out of the smoke, which contained the despair aura that could defeat the spirit, which made the city guards who had arrived due to huge changes stopped.
"What happened?" They looked at each other in surprise and discussed, but none of them dared to come forward to explore.
"This is..." and immediately after the city guards, Brandon, who came to the cabin, looked narrowed: "The devil's scream?"
"What's going on?"
No one answered this question, and in the smoke and dust, the scream that was already full of energy seemed to be pinched and stopped suddenly. Along with a wave of fighting spirit, the smoke that blocked everyone's vision also dispersed.
One person and one beast, two figures, one big and one small, slowly emerged from the smoke and dust. Qiao Xiuya was wrapped in black and red fighting spirit ripples. The overflowing power caused countless sand and stones to rotate around him. In his hands, the two-horned one-eyed demon, five meters tall, was kneeling on the ground, struggling desperately.
This demon has a human-like body, but has bat-like wings and thick limbs. It is covered with hard black carapaces, and a strange light flashes in its purple one-eyed eyes.
Its throat was tightly pinned by the warrior's five fingers like iron clamps. Due to the height difference between the two sides, it could not even stand up and could only kneel on the ground in humiliation. No matter how the demon swelled his wings and attacked with his claws, he could not break free from the clamp and break through Joshua's protective fighting spirit.
The City Guards and Brandon both held their breath, the scene was too amazing for them, and the blonde swordsman could see that the demon was at the peak of golden energy, so he was even more shocked than the others.
When did Joshua's power reach such a point?
In the ruins, I realized that the power of ** was too big, and the one-eyed demon simply stopped struggling. Countless runes between illusion and reality appeared on its forehead, and a strange and gloomy wave began to spread with the one-eyed demon as the center.
【Heart-eating Illusion】
The original body in this demon abyss that crossed the boundary is the extremely spirit-level demon [Laldanas]. As its name suggests, the ability it is truly good at is not the power of the usual demons, but the power of the mind.
Peeping into the soul, manipulating the **, creating illusions with despair, fear and sorrow, and devouring people's hearts. In order to fight against this powerful warrior who suppressed it to the ground, the demon urged his talent with all his strength to pull the other party into the illusion. For thousands of years, many powerful existences in the demons and other worlds have been defeated by this move, and it believes that Qiao Xiu will not be an exception.
The invisible mental fluctuations spread rapidly, instantly pulling the city guards who were protecting the people around him to take refuge and retreat. Everyone was dizzy on the spot, and even Brandon was no exception. He felt that his spiritual barrier was shaking, and his soul suffered a great impact, and he was almost pulled into it.
"What a powerful mental power!"
Shaking his head, awakening his dizzy head, Brandon pressed his forehead with his right hand and frowned tightly. He looked at the ruins of the cottage with a vigilant look. Although the swordsman suffered a secret loss just now because he was not prepared, the other party's target was Joshua, and what he had scanned here was just aftermath.
And in the illusion, there is endless, a dark world, everything seems to be sinking, falling towards the endless abyss.
The Heart-Eating Demon was in it, laughing and spreading his wings. It stretched its body to the fullest, allowing the pain that had been pinched to dissipate.
[Heart-eating Illusion], this is its world, the world of the great demon Raldanas. Here, except for it, all the minds pulled into it will experience the impact of endless wailings, and all the pain and tragedy hidden in the deepest part of the soul will be dug up, and then deepened and replayed over and over again until the mind is completely defeated by fear and despair.
No one can escape fear and despair, and for thousands of years, there has never been an exception.
Ignoring the mortal minds scattered in the dark and accidentally caught up in the darkness, the demon flew towards the largest ball of light. Unlike the faint light spots like fireflies around, the light of the soul seemed to melt metal and exuded a hot golden red glow.
It did not hesitate, and was ready to go deep into the light and witness the scene of the powerful warrior being defeated by despair.
But nothing.
Deeply into this light, Laldanas did not see any replay scene. The warrior's spiritual world was the same inside and outside, with only a ball of golden and red light.
Suddenly, feeling something, the demon slowly turned his head, and it saw a pair of red eyes.
In these eyes, there seemed to be a fire that could burn the world, but it gave people a sense of cold and bone-blooded fear. There was no emotion in these eyes, only the purest desire to destroy and fight.
"Fear, despair?"
A cold voice came, as if mocking: "What is that?"
"A coward who dares to play with people's hearts dares to look at me?"
The sonorous sound waves echoed, and time froze here, and then all illusions collapsed, and the boundless dark world shattered and turned into nothingness.
Back to reality, the one-eyed demon stared blankly at the human warrior who was still pinching its throat, unable to understand what had happened just now.
Didn’t it…have pulled the other party into the illusion?
"Lardanas, don't waste your energy."
How could a warrior who had experienced the curse of the evil god's will be afraid of the spiritual attacks of a mere demon? After easily shattering the illusion, Joshua's expression did not change at all. He calmly said to the hideous monster in front of him: "Your mental attack is like a spring breeze blowing on my face, so why not try other methods."
who is he?
How did he break free from the illusion?
Why did he know my name?
The final trump card was easily cracked, and the one-eyed demon expression that was reacting began to distort. It motivated the strength of its whole body, allowing the flesh and blood in its throat to be torn apart by the warrior, forcibly breaking free from the bondage. Laldanas flew backwards quickly, then roared and released a continuous stream of abyss spells.
[Abyss Flame Explosion] [Evil Mind Attention] [Petrified Light Beam] [Sulphur Fire Impact] [Corrosion Light] - With the experience of the extreme level of consciousness and the strength of the peak of gold, it moved its bloodline to the extreme and released one terrifying golden spell after another. The ruins of the hut were completely blown away by the huge torrent of magic energy, turning into a flat ground, and bombarded the warrior again and again, as if they were to burn him to ashes.
But Joshua didn't care about the opponent's attack at all. He walked forward slowly, raising his arms from time to time to block, or defeating one or two spells shot at the vital points, which was enough to overturn the explosion and shock waves of the city gate hit the warrior's protective fighting spirit, and could only splash out a series of inconspicuous red waves.
After realizing this scene, Raldanas did not stop attacking and still used endless spells to suppress Joshua. However, the more he fought, the more he became confused. No matter what spells or means he used, even the hidden trump card that even his confidant in the abyss did not know, the humans in front of him could use various means to perfectly deal with it.
Sometimes, the Heart-Devouring Demon will be shocked to find that his magic actually has flaws that he doesn't know, but the warriors use this flaw to easily crack it as if they have dealt with it thousands of times.
What monster am I fighting? How come he knows myself better than me?
Although he was still struggling to attack, the black-haired and red-eyed warrior had become the most terrifying demon in the eyes of Laldanas. This fear even surpassed the fear of the Abyss Lord who controlled its real name, and was the fear of seeing through everything.
And Joshua still walked slowly.
The other party is indeed an old acquaintance.
The monster in front of us, the heart-eating demon Laldan As, was the first wave of demons entering the world of Mycrov when the abyss invaded in the previous life. This monster who played with people used its spiritual power to enslave a large number of low-level demons and occupied several cities. It regarded humans as domestic animals, and was preparing to use the fear and despair of humans in the city as the source of strength to advance step by step into the legendary demon lord.
Unlike ordinary demons who have no brains, Laldanas's plan is very perfect. As long as you follow the steps, you will definitely succeed. During this period, the human side naturally obstructed it in every way and even developed several sets of combat methods specifically targeting this one-eyed demon. In his previous life, Joshua, who took on the hot dance to attack it, remembered all the opponent's combat methods clearly during the repeated clearing of land.
Now, he knows it even more than the demon itself. Not to mention just a clone, even the original body of Laldanas in the abyss, Joshua has the confidence to win it.
A silver stream of light flashed, and the silver sword that was originally inserted into the ground was blown away by the continuous attacks of magic from the demons. Qiao Xiuya reached out and grabbed the hilt of the sword and held it firmly in his palm.
"Somewhat tired."
He whispered.
Then, the warrior flashed and turned into a shadow and disappeared. At the same time, Laldan Aston felt his arm lightening. It subconsciously turned his head to look, and was stunned to find that its right arm had disappeared. At this time, blood had not yet flowed out of the smooth wound, as if it had not yet noticed it.
The one-eyed demon was roaring wildly, and was furious while fearing. It was about to fight back, but was hit by the heavy elbow of Joshua who suddenly approached his body. With a muffled groan, Laldanas's huge body flew backwards like a kite. A crisp sound of bone cracks sounded, and a large piece of black carapace collapsed on its chest.
Bang!
It fell heavily to the ground, splashing a large area of dust. The one-eyed demon's face was extremely distorted. The two corners on its head broke apart under the impact just now. For the demon, this was the greatest humiliation.
But now, when he woke up, he had no intention of revenge and resistance. Laldan Ass turned around decisively, spread his wings, and flew straight towards the space-time crack that it originally came to this world. Since the black heart, which was the summoning coordinate, was destroyed by the two of them just now, the space-time crack was extremely fragile, but it could not care about so much now.
This terrible world will never come again! No matter who summons it, it will never come again!
But before Lardanas could run halfway, it felt its left foot tightening, and its powerful force crushed like an iron plier, almost crushing its leg bones. Before he could react, the whole body of the one-eyed demon was lifted up by a huge force and swung randomly in the air.
"Roar ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
If he couldn't beat it and could not escape, Laldanas let out a roar of despair. It was the heart-eating demon who devoured his soul in the name of despair, but now, it tasted the taste of despair in the hands of the human in front of him.
The power of bloodline surged under the black carapace, and the dark red veins began to flash around the one-eyed demon. The violent power gathered, and it was ready to start its final attack.
【Body Burning】
This is what every demon can do, and at the cost of his own bloodline and life burning, it releases an energy impact that destroys everything.
But the silver sword light danced, bringing up a strong wind, and the demon's body was cut into two pieces in the waist.
Although the demon's sacrificial body is better than most creatures, it is not a supernatural body like elemental life. Under the power of the Divine Machine's sharp blade and Joshua's power, no matter how strong the sacrificial it is, it is no different from tofu.
The bones, muscles and carapace were cut off, and the body-burning explosion ended directly. However, Laldanas still did not give up. His legs and waist were cut off, which just reduced part of the burden and also broke free from Joshua's shackles. At this time, the demon showed extremely powerful vitality and desire to survive.
His wings suddenly swayed, and blood and internal organs kept slid from his abdomen. Laldan Ass' expression was ferocious, and the remaining upper itself rushed towards the cracks in space and time at several times the speed before.
Finally escaped! It had a thought of glory flashed in its heart. This time the clone was seriously damaged, which was also a great damage to its original body in the abyss. It would take at least several years of cultivation to restore its full prosperity.
However, just as Lardan As was about to rush into the space-time gate, its wings were pulled by a force, and half of its remaining body was pulled back.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The one-eyed demon looked at the space-time crack less than one meter away and let out an unknown roar. Its giant claws inserted into the ground, but this could not stop the huge force behind it from dragging it. The deep scratches were pulled by it. It could only watch itself weakly as it became farther and farther away from the space-time crack.
"I hate your screams."
A dull voice came, and Joshua stepped down and stepped on the demon's head into the earth: "But you can't die yet, it's rare to meet a talking demon."
Chapter completed!
