Chapter 456 - 236: Third Assassination of Saint One
"I’m curious, how did you discover me?"
Lu Cang appeared before Saint One, in the guise of Dome Night.
Saint One calmly raised the glass of wine in his hand.
"The use of Magic inevitably leaves behind magical fluctuations."
"If I’m not mistaken, you came to my room this morning..."
"Although I couldn’t sense where the source of this Magic originated, the fluctuations from the Magic that was once here cannot be concealed."
’He can’t trace the source of the Magic. It’s probably because of my "Unsolved Mysteries" Talent.’
’Still, this Magic Perception Power is no joke...’
If this were on a busy street, with people using Magic everywhere, and the source being untraceable, he would never have noticed the subtle traces of Magic.
But for traces of Magic to appear in his secret chamber... it was indeed a bit too conspicuous.
It’s like the difference between tire tracks on a highway and tire tracks in a bedroom—the level of obviousness is completely different.
’But to be able to perceive it after so much time has passed... I’ve only ever seen such an outrageous level of Magic Perception Power from Iz.’
Lu Cang: "Is that all?"
A faint smile played on Saint One’s lips. He didn’t answer directly, simply saying, "It seems to me you’re trying to fish for information."
Lu Cang’s expression was calm. "No, I’m just worried you won’t have time to finish your last words before you die."
Saint One gave a faint smile. "Only those at Level Five and below can enter the Forgotten Realm."
"My Reincarnation Mark also faded on January 1st."
"From then until now, it has been nearly three months."
"Although I don’t remember your exact Level, I at least recall that during our battle, all my Professions were Level 3..."
"I imagine your Level couldn’t have increased by that much in this time."
As Saint One spoke, Lu Cang could gradually feel powerful experts from the Reincarnation Sect taking to the skies, completely surrounding the area.
At the same time, the nearby civilians, sensing the commotion, had already begun to flee.
An immense Restriction had also risen around the location, along with countless ascending fortresses!
’He isn’t just talking to give me information. He’s stalling for time. Stalling until his preparations are complete, until the encirclement is formed.’
But even though Lu Cang knew this, he didn’t act immediately. This was a rehearsal; Lu Cang wanted to see just how many trump cards his opponent would play.
BUZZ!
The entirety of Atlantis City had been completely locked down.
And his opponent, in turn, released a swarm of minuscule, mist-like robots around himself.
A Level 6 Mechanician, but with a pile of Level 7 mechanical creations.
The two locked eyes.
BOOM!
In an instant, Lu Cang’s War Spear shot through Saint One!
「Azure Sky Stream - Sixth Form: Extreme Purification (Sacrifice 10,000,000 souls)」
「Purification (Tier Five) (Level: 401)」
Now that he had advanced to a Level 4 Mage, he no longer used the old Soul Condensing True Burst, having replaced it with the much more badass "Purification."
Lu Cang compressed the attack to a single, extreme point, his War Spear already touching his opponent’s body!
Saint One’s expression was one of clear shock!
Lu Cang was too fast, so fast that he had no time to react!
BOOM!
Saint One was sent flying as if shot from a cannon, crashing through countless walls!
Beneath his durable clothes, a necklace and a ring were shattering.
’Tsk, a pile of life-saving items. How can someone be so shameless, just clinging to life like that.’
BOOM!
In that same instant, Lu Cang felt countless powerful auras forming in the sky!
A "Tier Seven Root Magic" was taking shape.
And at the same time! Countless different attacks were already bearing down on the ground!
BANG!
In an instant, the weak, fleeing pedestrians on the street were obliterated into a bloody mist by the aftershocks!
’This Saint One! He really is decisive. For a chance to face the version of me that had the Reincarnation Mark again, he doesn’t care at all about slaughtering civilians or harming ordinary people.’
’His desire to kill me is just that resolute. Unimpeded by any morality, without a single shred of burden on his conscience!’
Lu Cang now felt, through and through, his opponent’s determination to kill him!
As Lu Cang swung his spear and gave chase, he unleashed his Undead Army!
ROAR!
Submerged Land Level Demons appeared in a tide as vast as mountains and seas!
And just then!
The Tier Seven Root Magic in the sky was unleashed!
「Tier Seven Root Magic: Soul Suppression」
VMM!
Lu Cang instantly felt his soul tremble, as if it were about to be replaced by someone else’s!
However, it was only a tremor!
Lu Cang’s soul and body were completely one; as long as his body was not broken, his soul could not be affected!
Lu Cang’s soul should have been swapped out—replaced with the soul of that Root Mage, placing him under the Mage’s temporary control.
But in the end, Lu Cang only felt a tearing sensation in his body, which, with his extremely fast recovery, was instantly restored to its peak state!
Nothing happened!
The Tier Seven Root Magic, when it finally hit, had absolutely no effect!
The Level 7 Root Mage in the sky was stunned!
And at that same moment, Lu Cang had already swung his War Spear!
「Azure Sky Stream - Seventh Form·Illusion」
In that instant, five figures of Lu Cang appeared simultaneously, each shimmering with a faint, colorful light!
All of them brandished a Void Spirit Star Ring Battle Spear!
Within a single breath, they had unleashed dozens of Combat Skill attacks at Saint One!
VMMMM—
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM CRASH—
A spherical shockwave instantly erupted, centered on the two combatants!
