Chapter 1726: You Found Out
The magic power gathered more and more, and the once stagnant feeling returned to Yang Yu.
The magic briefly controlled by Bai Jin and the others, along with the magic used by them, was once again controlled by Lux.
Facing Yang Yu’s unstoppable attack, Lux once again had the means to counter.
Lux raised the Holy Sword, pointed toward the sky, and the dense magic power settled down again.
The heaviness on his shoulder caused Yang Yu’s speed to plummet, and his previously elusive figure was once again exposed to Lux’s eyes.
Lux said expressionlessly:
"Won’t talk, huh?
Since you don’t want to talk, then I’ll destroy you first, directly dominate your soul, and ask what your soul truly desires.
Or maybe it won’t be necessary.
You might just display it shortly.
No matter what you do, it’s just a futile struggle."
Freed from passive defense, Lux’s body gleamed, and in a few short seconds, he cast multiple enhancement spells on himself.
This time, it was Lux’s turn for fierce offense.
But, even though Lux cast multiple enhancement spells on himself, he didn’t get any advantage in the direct confrontation with Yang Yu.
Yang Yu’s body could always dodge appropriately when Lux launched an attack, missing time and again.
Using magic to forcibly control the enemy, immobilizing Yang Yu briefly, Lux’s attacks barely hit a few times.
With the series of skills and equipment supporting his body, the last ten percent of Yang Yu’s blood volume was far tougher than it seemed.
Within the [Corrosion and Rust] range, neither side could recover health.
However, Lux was able to utilize the magic power settled around, repeatedly casting shields, continuously blocking Yang Yu’s attacks.
Having suffered once, Lux wanted to pay attention to the actions of the magician in the sky, but Yang Yu’s attacks were too overwhelming. Once Lux lost focus, Yang Yu’s attacks came relentlessly, catching him off guard.
After pondering, Lux decided to forcibly cross the [Corrosion and Rust] barrier range.
As long as he crossed the [Corrosion and Rust] barrier range, Lux would be able to use potions or the Holy Sword’s skill and recover unreservedly.
Yang Yu’s [Fury Blood] had slowly disappeared.
Without the true damage, Yang Yu, facing the thick defense, could only continue to chip away.
And Lux would have ample time and opportunity to contemplate ways to defeat Yang Yu and the others.
Lux warned himself again and again.
He had gained unprecedented strength, and as long as he made the right decisions, dealing with Yang Yu’s key skills properly, even if Yang Yu and the others used all their might, they couldn’t solve him.
Through self-reminders, Lux became increasingly calm, and his attacking movements grew more fluid, though the unease never faded from his heart.
Having planned the route to break through the [Corrosion and Rust], Lux expanded his perception, incorporating everything around him into his mind through magic.
Lux could sense the Silver Wolf, which had just moved away from him, had returned with the elf nearby.
A glance in that direction allowed Lux to capture the figures of Lotcar and Iyas, but the Silver Wolf and elf showed no battle intent, seemingly watching something.
As for the other Goddess’ Apostle, she had stood motionless beside the edge of the seawater splashed by the falling square, since just now.
At the moment Lux was distracted, Yang Yu found another opening, a sharp sword blade cutting into Lux’s chest.
Yang Yu’s strenuous strike did not deal much damage to Lux, who fully decided to carry out the plan he had thought of earlier, quickly running towards the edge of [Corrosion and Rust].
The magician in the sky started moving, flying towards Lux’s direction, her hand beginning to brew one attack magic after another.
Lux could feel the magic used by Bai Jin and the others had been intricately encrypted, filled with a substantial amount of their characteristic magic power, undoubtedly aimed at him.
...?
With the surrounding magic accumulating to a certain extent, Lux didn’t have to fear the magic from Bai Jin and the others causing him any trouble.
In fact, Bai Jin and their magic would only intensify the magic sediment around, making Lux increasingly difficult to deal with.
Knowing this, they still unleashed magic. Did they find a new solution, or were there other motives?
If Bai Jin and the others truly knew their magic was ineffective against him, then for whom did they prepare such powerful magic?
A figure slowly materialized in Lux’s sight.
When he first met her, she was just a young girl ignorant of worldly affairs with a touching family background.
Perhaps out of momentary pity, or perhaps due to lack of companionship, Lux ultimately took away the homeless girl, raising her healthily.
The girl herself bore a tragic family history. Knowing he wouldn’t live long, Lux originally did not want the girl involved in his plans as a pawn rushing around, but the girl stubbornly wanted to help him.
Unable to refuse the girl, Lux eventually promised that if she could win at the Dragon God Conference, he would let her participate.
The girl, through her relentless efforts, successfully met Lux’s requirement. Lux witnessed all of the girl’s efforts and intentions, ultimately allowing her participation.
She completed tasks beyond Lux’s expectations without betraying any of Lux’s wishes.
She still chose to stay by his side willingly.
Even though she did not understand the reasons behind her actions, even though she did not know the kind of world Lux wanted to establish or why he wanted to defy the goddess...
Could it be.....
Just as Lux thought this, he sensed someone intruding into his magic perception range.
Gao Yuanyi moved once again, his mechanical limbs bursting into flames, sending him into the sky.
Feeling unable to stop his heart from racing, Lux tried to keep calm, but Yang Yu’s next words completely disturbed all his thoughts.
"Looks like you found out.
Our initial target wasn’t you.
I tend to eliminate all uncertainties.
Before you possessed Vorquis, was she the one acting under various names in this world?
We couldn’t let her become your reliable aide, hindering our plan to bring you down.
So... I’m sorry.
But don’t worry. After dealing with her, you will soon reunite with her.
And don’t think of stopping my partner.
Here, I’m present!"
Upon finishing, dense purple thorns rose from the ground, charging at Lux.
