Chapter 1830 - 991: It’s Actually Him?
On the battlefield,
deprived of the shelter of Shadow Power and bound by Rule Chains on one arm, this Shadow Demon had completely become a lamb waiting for slaughter.
It could only futilely swing its left claw to block, letting out incessant shrill howls, yet it couldn’t even touch the hem of Lis’s garment.
Lis’s movements were crisp and efficient, with no hesitation, and every attack was full of force.
The moment the Longsword pierced into the Shadow Demon’s body, a sunlight-like brilliance would burst forth, burning its body.
This battle, from the very start, had its outcome predetermined; it was merely a one-sided beating by Lis.
The struggles of the Shadow Demon seemed more like a futile, last gasp of survival.
Just as Lis was pondering how to better control this Demigod Demon, the Invisible Demon suddenly stopped resisting and directly said:
"Stop hitting, I surrender!"
"Oh, surrender?"
Lis paused upon hearing this, and put down the Longsword in his hand.
The Shadow Demon before him was pretty miserably handled, covered in scars left by the treasure sword, and its breath was quite dispirited.
The Shadow Demon in front is capable of communication?
Previously, no matter how he beat it, there was no sound, making him think this Abyss Demon had been brainwashed thoroughly by the Abyss Will within the Endless Abyss, losing all self-awareness.
If communication is possible, this makes things a bit simpler.
If it can voice a plea for mercy, it means this Shadow Demon is somewhat life-cherishing; a Demon that would beg for mercy can’t be the kind of insane Abyss Demon.
"What’s your name?"
Lis looked at the Shadow Demon before him and asked.
"Eliot."
The Shadow Demon said roughly, looking with lingering fear at the chain that locked its right hand.
Initially, being locked didn’t concern it much; it had even wanted to struggle just now, but this chain was just too bizarre.
It was as if the power within its body was completely suppressed.
To be honest, this feeling was something it had never even experienced when facing those Divine Rank Abyss Lords.
When facing those Evil Gods, it could still run if it couldn’t win.
But after being locked by this eerie chain, there was no way it could break free.
What on earth is this thing?
Lis observed the Abyss Demon’s appearance and nodded in satisfaction.
The special chain formed by the Rule Power of [Wisdom] indeed had quite an excellent effect.
Especially for those strong beings less adept in comprehending rules than him.
Once he succeeded in Ascension, it should also work against the Divine.
Its effectiveness on the first use was so good that it made Lis even more motivated to incorporate more insights into the [Wisdom] rule.
However, the demigod Invisible Demon Eliot felt none of this shared sentiment with Lis.
After all, he was on the locked side, feeling only frustration.
"My lord, if you spare my life, I am willing to serve you."
Eliot hastily said.
"Oh?"
Lis looked with interest at the groveling Invisible Demon and said with a smile:
"Even as a demigod, are you really willing to give up so easily?"
This was the first time he encountered a demigod demon pleading for mercy.
Among the demigod demons he had previously slain, most chose to flee upon realizing they weren’t his match.
Someone like Eliot, who directly chose to surrender, was something Lis had never encountered before.
"Isn’t it due to sensing your might?"
Eliot pretended to look pitiable.
However, his current situation was indeed rather dire, without the need for much feigning.
"I ask, you answer."
Lis said as the smile faded while looking at Eliot ahead of him.
"Please ask."
Eliot yielded thoroughly, showing no hint of resistance.
"When did you come to the Gaia World, and from where?"
Eliot hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said:
"Thirty-two years ago, while being hunted by Tobias, I arrived in the Gaia World through a space turbulence."
"At the time, I was badly wounded, almost unconscious, and lacked even Legendary strength."
"After waking, I’ve been secretly recovering my power over these years; I had just recovered to demigod strength, when you discovered me."
Hmm?
Lis looked at Eliot before him and asked somewhat unexpectedly:
"You didn’t arrive here through the recently appeared Demon’s Gate?"
"No."
Eliot shook his head, firmly stating:
"I only sensed a dense abyss breath and caught a demon to find out about the Endless Abyss’s invasion of Gaia World this time."
"I thought it was a good opportunity; if I could hunt a few Legends, my strength recovery speed would certainly be faster, so I..."
At this point, Eliot looked a bit aggrieved.
Abyss Will above!
He had only barely recovered to demigod strength, with not a single taste of high-profile soul hunting and devouring over these decades.
For fear of accidentally being discovered and hunted by the Church of the Gods.
Finally, encountering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, through observation over this period, determining the large scale of the Abyss’s invasion this time.
The Church of the Gods over there should be too occupied to handle him, hence he tried to act.
Even, he even chose a place appearing rather remote as far as he was concerned.
But surprisingly, despite such caution, he still got caught.
The Lis before him seemed incredibly powerful in his view.
If not knowing this was within Gaia World, he might have assumed he was facing a Divine.
One must know, even when confronted by many Evil Gods in the Abyss, he still held confidence in escaping.
