Chapter 1717: Imprisoned in the Sphere
Raising his hand, Lux clenched fiercely in Yang Yu’s direction, and the magic around Yang Yu transformed in an instant.
Tiny magic with control did not take effect immediately; instead, they quickly linked with each other, turning into solid magic chains.
Yang Yu slapped away the incoming magic and dodged the chains.
But unexpectedly, these magic chains moved as if they were venomous snakes sensing food temperature, darting and pouncing towards Yang Yu.
Status icons quickly climbed onto Yang Yu’s status panel.
Despite Yang Yu’s agile movement, he ultimately couldn’t withstand the accumulation of various debuffs, slowing his evasive speed.
A chain seized the opportunity and entwined Yang Yu’s shoulder, followed by another binding his waist, while more chains enveloped his body, fixing him in place.
Activating the Reverse Wheel, Yang Yu struggled to pull the chains.
The sturdy chains remained unmoved, tightly binding Yang Yu’s body.
After drinking the potion offered by He Meng, Iyas struggled to get up and raised his arm toward Yang Yu to release Purification.
Lux exerted himself to thrust the Holy Sword into the ground, reciting incantations.
In an instant, golden light flashes pierced swiftly from Yang Yu’s vicinity.
Yang Yu reacted instantly, pale gold light expanded from under his feet, quickly washing over his body like golden waves.
Activating Immovable Rock, Yang Yu appeared as a solid stone.
The golden spike collided with Yang Yu’s body, shattering instantly into countless fragments.
The fragments flipped and fell, yet before they touched the ground, Lux raised a hand, causing the chaotic fragments to spring up, enveloping Yang Yu and merging into a massive sphere.
Iyas’s Holy Light for Purification aimed at Yang Yu was completely blocked outside.
Lux had been a hero for many years, naturally knowing Yang Yu’s assault was merely to delay. So, he didn’t intend to waste much time on Yang Yu.
After drinking the potion given by Gao Yuanyi, Iyas and Lotcar slowly restored their fighting power.
Soon... everything must start anew.
To win this battle, indeed, the team’s priest must be handled first, or perhaps...
However, Yang Yu’s troublesome companions would surely obstruct.
Even having obtained the full power of the Demon King, wanting to kill Yang Yu’s companions, equally level 200, in one strike was no easy task.
Lux wasn’t in a hurry; he continuously sensed the changes in magic power concentration around.
The more skills are used, and the stronger the magic is employed by those present, the more magic power congregates near Demon King City.
Waiting for enough magic power, Lux could unleash unprecedented massive spells to crush the target completely.
So, even if the Demon King Armor’s blood volume was below one-quarter, Lux remained composed.
Even if Yang Yu and the team force him to reveal his true self, the situation couldn’t be reversed.
The Holy Light attack constructed by Iyas earlier remained orbiting Lux like a comet, unusually tenacious.
Despite not knowing what sort of attack Iyas planned to unleash, Lux slightly concentrated to smash the golden light surrounding him.
Dispersing the suppressive deceleration magic, Lux moved quickly towards Iyas, under Gao Yuanyi’s protection, launching a terrifying assault again.
Yet before Lux took several steps, abruptly, thorns grew wildly before him.
Through the sphere’s irregular gaps, Yang Yu captured Lux’s movements and, without hesitation, used thorns to weave a big net, hooking Lux’s ankle.
"It’s useless."
Lux exerted more force, tearing apart Yang Yu’s thorns, his figure flickering, reaching the vicinity protected by Gao Yuanyi.
Lux already encompassed every Ghost Shadow placed by Gao Yuanyi into his sight, finding the weak point in their defense to break through.
Little did he know, that flaw was deliberately left by Gao Yuanyi.
Gao Yuanyi already saw through Lux’s intentions; since Lux had failed earlier, he would certainly come again.
Gao Yuanyi recalled various situations fighting against the Deceitful Emperor.
Since Lux had become the Demon King, they should indeed possess extremely similar abilities.
In the Demon World, the Demon King possesses nearly invincible powers; coming to this world, due to various reasons, the Demon King’s attributes greatly diminish, increasing only gradually over time.
Lux obtained the complete power of the Demon King; he might be gradually mastering, harnessing the magic power of two worlds.
Both Gao Yuanyi and Yang Yu understood that dragging things out was unfavorable to them.
At this point, they also couldn’t abandon the fight midway to retreat and plan from the start.
The Demon King, the so-called Demon King can manipulate all magical power as the King.
If a completely magic-free area can be created, continuously expelling magic power, maybe it can render the Demon King helpless, but the magic within the Demon King is unfathomable.
No matter how the Demon King squanders, his mana does not greatly change.
A true device that limits magic might be burst by the Demon King’s magic.
Before arriving here, Gao Yuanyi proposed several plans against the Demon King, but most were found flawed by Yang Yu.
If the current Demon King indeed becomes impossible to defeat, perhaps only the method Yang Yu mentioned can bring a glimmer of hope to this increasingly desperate battle.
However, the conditions for achieving that plan are somewhat difficult. Besides, the plan’s complete success can’t be assured.
If the plan fails, apart from the final strategy, it’s unsure if Yang Yu can come up with a new countermeasure.
Gao Yuanyi didn’t want Yang Yu to be forced to employ the last desperate strategy. Gao Yuanyi didn’t believe putting one’s life at risk could gain Hero Lux’s trust; he didn’t want to become a tool for Lux either.
Gao Yuanyi also wished to firmly grasp his destiny.
For this, he needed to do things within his capability, then silently pray that Yang Yu’s plan could succeed.
Picking up Laplace, various thoughts quickly flowed through Gao Yuanyi’s mind; he bore little affection for this world.
To be honest, risking life like this might end up thankinglessly, but...
He also realized that living in this world are real, living people. Back then, he neglected Wei was equally a living person, leading to Wei’s eventual death.
Gao Yuanyi didn’t want to forcefully revive Wei only for her to be hunted by enemies, living a life of hiding.
As a player, as a challenger, Gao Yuanyi chose to believe in his own strength, choosing to trust Yang Yu, with whom he fought together in the past!
Fail, we will talk about failure when it comes!
