Chapter 1840 - 996: Trap and Reversal
Unlike those demigod demons, the Soul Eater Visarion is one of the few demons who think things through.
In a way, he’s somewhat like the Demon Prince Demogorgon.
Initially, Visarion didn’t stand out too much, simply hiding among the other demigod demons and launching his attacks against Lis and Adela in a moderately careful manner.
When Adela was restraining Visarion for Lis, he secretly made his move.
According to Adela afterwards, when she merely glanced at Visarion, a torrent of incredibly chaotic thoughts surged into her mind, causing her to briefly lose consciousness.
Although it was just a fleeting moment, in a battle between demigods, even such a brief lapse in concentration could lead to death.
Furthermore, according to Adela’s account, all her soul and mental defenses were still intact at that time.
This meant that Visarion’s soul attacks on Adela could even penetrate layers of defense.
This was quite astonishing!
However, since his attempt didn’t succeed, this Demigod Brain Demon became extremely cautious.
Perhaps due to his failure, Visarion continued to join the siege against Lis and Adela but always kept his distance from Lis.
He seems to realize that of the three, only Lis has the power to kill him.
Furthermore, after showing his true strength, Lis would certainly consider taking action.
After all, his presence poses a significant threat to Adela and other Elf Demigods.
Nevertheless, due to Visarion’s caution, Lis hasn’t personally experienced Visarion’s unique ability.
Apart from this ability, Visarion performs quite ordinarily.
Yet having suffered from him before, who knows what other hidden cards he might have?
Therefore, in fact, this Demigod Brain Demon, the Soul Eater Visarion, is Lis’s primary hunting target this time.
While Lis was entangled with other demigod demons, his gaze swept towards Visarion, who was attacking from a distance.
He was ready to use Space Transmission at any time to bring over the three demigods from the Church of the Gods.
But if he acts rashly now, he might not achieve his aim.
Cecilia needs time to use the Crown of Fertility.
Although this time is extremely short, merely an instant, those demigod demons might still react.
Especially the cautious Visarion, the one Lis most wants to hunt; he’ll definitely choose to flee if he senses anything amiss.
In such a case, it would be quite difficult for Lis and the others to control so many demigods.
The main reason is that once the Demon’s Gate opens, Abyss Power streams into the Gaia World, transforming the surroundings of the Demon’s Gate to resemble the Abyss.
In these circumstances, demigod demons face less suppression from Gaia World.
To successfully hunt these demigod demons, it’s crucial to sever their connection with the Endless Abyss.
Doing so would subject these demigod demons to the force of Gaia World.
The chances of success for Lis and his team would increase significantly.
This is why Cecilia brought the Crown of Fertility.
And now, Lis is biting into anyone’s attention, trying as much as possible to lure these demigod demons away from the Demon’s Gate.
For Lis, this poses no problem.
He’s long understood the strength of these demigod demons, so holding the situation under control is relatively easy.
Compared to Lis, Adela and another Elf Demigod appear somewhat beleaguered.
Even though Lis took on the greatest pressure, facing multiple demigod opponents still proved overwhelming.
Everything proceeded as Lis and the others had planned, as they grappled with the eight demigod demons while advancing westward.
Yet during this scenario, Lis furrowed his brow.
Though on the surface, this battle seemed no different from previous ones.
However, Lis felt something was off.
From the demigod demons besieging him, Lis sensed a nuance of savage excitement indescribable.
What was going on?
Did these demigod demons have another plan?
And Lis felt they differed from his expectations, as their cooperation seemed too smooth.
The battle hadn’t been underway for long, yet Lis and his team had already moved several hundred kilometers westward, away from the battlefield.
While not significant for demigods, it was much faster than Lis initially planned?
Could it be that these demigod demons also meant to lure them away from the battlefield?
Was it to prevent some countermeasure in the Elf Royal City, or did the demons themselves have another plan?
Lis was uncertain but raised his vigilance.
He kept an eye on Adela and the others’ status while observing the demigod demons opposing them.
The distance still wasn’t adequate; he needed to endure a bit longer.
The remaining winds of the battlefield still carried sulfur and bloody odors from the Abyss, while Lis’s gaze remained alert as he glanced around, not relaxing for even a moment.
In the next second, his pupils slightly contracted.
Lis keenly spotted a nearly transparent blood-colored phantom silently rising from the twisted Shadow behind Adela.
That shadow did not emit any energy fluctuations, as if it were a nightmare merging into the Void.
