Chapter 695
Seal the Perfect Being!
The conversation within the Perfect Being lasted for just a moment in the outside world.
The instant the golden-red flame changed color, Bram suddenly flapped his wings—scarlet waves of energy roared out, pushing back the stream of flames for a fleeting moment.
But in that instant, he had already charged forward.
His pupils instantly turned crimson, and he thrust his right hand downwards with a sudden clench!
Except for Eivass and the Eternal Pope, the bodies of the other individuals suddenly trembled—their hearts instantly shattered, and all their blood vessels ruptured!
—That was an area-of-effect instant-kill ability!
However, before they could even die, they saw a radiant light emanating from their bodies… the moment their life force began to wane, they were healed by the power the Eternal Pope had left within them.
At this moment, the Perfect Being raised his hands.
Blood gathered from all directions into a colossal sphere, which he heavily slammed forward, holding the flame stream spewed by the Butterfly of Paradox in place!
The entire eighteenth layer witnessed dense blood energy ascending into the sky—he had drawn blood from everyone in the eighteenth Ring from afar!
Not just the eighteenth Ring—high above Eivass’s vision, the elves of the nineteenth Ring were also drained of their blood!
At this moment, the Eternal Pope’s tightly furrowed brow instead relaxed.
She turned her head slightly to look at Eivass and Cardinal Dominic, and said briefly, “You two take over for now.”
The next moment, her avatar dispersed into the air.
The instant she vanished, Eivass felt an incredibly intense pressure—only then did he realize what the Eternal Pope had been shielding them from.
Yet, he felt a sense of relief instead.
Since the Eternal Pope chose to leave, it meant the danger here probably wasn’t that great.
Just as Eivass was thinking this… the next moment, he immediately knew where the Eternal Pope had gone.
The entire eighteenth and nineteenth Rings simultaneously erupted with strong vitality—
A brilliant radiance surged from the ground and descended from the heavens, illuminating the world as a single expanse of light!
—That was a colossal Illuminate Spell covering two entire Rings!
“Let me help too!”
At this moment, the bound Honey Badger earnestly said to Cardinal Dominic, “I won’t run away, and I can fight too!
“I understand the Child of the Moon very well, and I possess a Path Trait that can kill them while ignoring resistance!”
“—All right.”
Cardinal Dominic hesitated only for a brief moment before solemnly agreeing.
She did not ask for Eivass’s opinion, but directly waved her hand, dispelling the two light arrays that bound the Honey Badger.
“I’ll take responsibility and supervise—she should be useful.”
She said simply to Eivass, then reached out and placed her hand on the back of the Honey Badger’s neck.
A flash of silvery-gray light appeared as she placed a mark upon it.
Immediately afterward, Cardinal Dominic also removed her blindfold.
Taking a deep breath, her body began to tremble violently.
An increasingly ferocious aura seeped from within her body—Eivass soon realized where Cardinal Dominic’s Authority Power originated from.
It was… the ‘Berserker’ of the Path of Power, transformed into a ‘Bound One’!
She let out a hysterical, frenzied scream, and then, without any charge-up, flew directly into the sky!
It wasn’t a jump, nor was it flight.
If one had to describe it, it was like a marionette or a shadow puppet—the shackles on her body seemed to be controlled by invisible strings, causing her to fly erratically, limbs flailing haphazardly.
As she approached the Perfect Being, her limbs naturally fell into the correct positions.
Her fists were covered with a layer of silvery-white Crown Lord Blessing—a continuous barrage of punches, like flowing water, was unleashed with unparalleled ferocity!
There was no preparation, no time to recover breath. Any part of her body could be used to attack, even if it meant injuring the enemy at the cost of greatly harming herself—
Perfect Being Bram was pummeled relentlessly, momentarily stunned.
He had no experience in close combat, let alone the fact that he was channeling blood magic, leaving him completely unable to retaliate.
He could only weakly pull out his left hand from the giant blood sphere and point it towards Cardinal Dominic.
The residual blood in his palm transformed into Gatling-like bullets, instantly riddling Cardinal Dominic like a sieve!
But she only let out a scream, and the injuries on her body healed instantly, steaming with white smoke—she was only momentarily stiffened, not even repelled, and continued to hover in the air, punching Bram incessantly!
She had clearly not received any formal combat training, yet her attacks required no consideration for strength or the endurance of her joints and bones. Even if her fists were bloody and fleshy, and her bones were broken, it wouldn’t matter—the injuries would heal the next moment, and her lofty reason controlled her marionette-like body with icy indifference.
Perfect Being Bram was clearly getting a bit desperate from the beating—Cardinal Dominic’s attacks dealt no real damage, unable to break through his defenses. Instead, they injured Cardinal Dominic quite severely. It was only a Fifth Tier attack, not to mention his exceptional natural regeneration speed. Except for a portion of his white wings that were scorched, there wasn’t the slightest wound on his body.
However, even if the Path Power in the attacks couldn’t break his defense, the purely physical attacks were still effective.
Even though his recovery speed now surpassed the damage, he could still clearly feel the pain—in a fit of rage, he swatted Cardinal Dominic away with his wings, but the next moment, she flew back from a different angle. Like an unreachable and unshakeable mosquito, she was raising his blood pressure…
But at that moment, his expression suddenly froze.
He coughed out a mouthful of dark blood forward.
At some point, his back had been attacked… but there was no one behind him.
Unlike Dominic’s attack—this strike had indeed pierced his defenses.
The wings on his back suddenly expanded, sweeping back and forth behind him like windshield wipers, searching for the enemy. The power was enough to easily tear through hardened steel, and just flapping his wings created a hurricane—
But the next moment, his back was once again heavily wounded by an invisible attack.
This time, the attack was more severe—a fissure split him from his cervical spine to his lower back.
“Mere savage infants. Is this the legendary Perfect Being… what a disappointment.”
The Honey Badger’s cold voice echoed beside his ear, yet he still couldn’t locate the assassin.
With her Sixth Tier perception, he couldn’t find the killer’s trace!
Where was the attack coming from…!
At this moment, Cardinal Dominic flew over again.
Her High-Tier Divine Art was ready—she took a deep breath and then exhaled forcefully.
—It was the Punishing Dragon Breath!
The damage he received increased based on the opponent’s sins, making his body brittle and his defenses weaker…
That slender, silvery-gray dragon breath slightly froze the Perfect Being’s body.
He couldn’t afford to care about her—
His chaotic mind became increasingly anxious.
Because his Holy Master demanded to see all of his abilities!
Otherwise, he would be abandoned!
If he couldn’t seize Eivass’s body for the Holy Master, at least he shouldn’t—
The instant his body became brittle from being frozen, a powerfully heavy blow landed on his back once again.
At that moment, the surrounding clamor suddenly fell silent.
Time seemed to stop, and the voice he hated the most echoed lightly in his mind:
“—Idiot, it’s a shadow.”
Loki’s contemptuous voice seemed to mock Bram’s stupidity.
…What shadow? Where is a shadow?
Perfect Being Bram’s mind hadn’t caught up yet.
His frozen brain could barely think.
“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the task the Master gave you is complete.”
Loki said mockingly, “By completely sealing this part of me, preventing the me in the Dream Realm from ever being whole—under your foolish actions, this has already been easily accomplished.
What, but my mission wasn’t…
How were you sealed…
The next moment, time, which had slowed down, began to flow again.
He was powerless to maintain the blood magic he was accumulating—he didn’t even get to see the effect of the spell before his body suddenly disintegrated!
Even so, he remained unfazed.
It was merely the shattering of his body.
A mere fatal wound was meaningless to the great “Perfect Being,” and he could even split up to evade the terrifying flame stream and reassemble later—
“Doomsday Ray!”
Eivass below gave another command.
The scorching flame stream suddenly vanished.
The extreme temperature difference even made the Perfect Being feel cold.
The next moment, sixteen slender, dark-red beams of light shot up from the ground, precisely detonating all of his fragmented body parts!
The part of his head was severed—there was no brain inside, nor were there any organs below his abdominal cavity. Inside his shell, it was all crystal-clear, purplish-black crystals like amethyst.
—It’s fine, even so, I won’t die!
Even though his brain was severed and his body was reduced to less than centimeter-sized fragments, the Perfect Being still wasn’t panicked, but rather supremely confident.
Those people must think I’m dead… when I land, it will be time for the counterattack!
But at this moment, a transparent light card suddenly flickered and floated up in Eivass’s hand.
“Ritual Component Material… it seems it should be used at a time like this.”
