Chapter 689: Lanqi's Legendary Sealer Successor
It was almost five o'clock in the morning and the entire flower city of Pariel was still shrouded in chaos and fear.
The few remaining street lights swayed in the strong wind, like dying candles that could go out at any time.
The sanctuaries and temples were filled with terrified crowds.
"Mom, will a hero come to save us?"
A mother and daughter hid under a narrow porch. The little girl hugged her teddy bear tightly, tears streaking her tender face.
"There will be."
Her mother hugged her tightly, her eyes empty, and whispered comforting words, her voice trembling.
The moment she heard others say that Loren's appearance was a misunderstanding, her hope seemed to be shattered.
At this moment, most of the citizens in the temple were depressed.
At the other end of the temple, the paladins were trying to work together to carry their injured companion to a safe place.
Their faces were covered in sweat and dust, and every step was extremely difficult.
"What's going on on the North Shore?"
The injured priest groaned continuously, blood dripping from his forehead.
"I can't see clearly. Even the reporters on the front line have different opinions. But it seems that it is indeed not the High Priest who came in person."
Although I really want to give my companions some reassuring words, the truth is just so cruel.
If Loren really comes, it is impossible for Perlman to chase Loren and beat him, but a storm will sweep across the entire flower city of Paria.
At this moment, another dazzling flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the entire city.
"It's an eighth-level battle. A newly confirmed unknown eighth-level has begun to fight against Perlman!"
The demon female reporter took a breath of cold air, her voice trembling.
The rain hit the lens, blurring the image.
And as far as the camera can reach, in a place too far to be seen, above the endless darkness, rainstorm and ruins, it seems as if the gates of hell have opened.
Although the picture was not clear at all, everyone could feel the power penetrating the lens.
Not only in the temple, but also in every corner of the Huadu city-state, the remaining signal sources, countless figures sat up straight, their eyes focused on the screen.
Or you can pray silently to God for protection, or hold the hands of those around you tightly, so that you can get some comfort.
At the same time, a discussion broke out among the people in the church who were still watching the unstable scene.
In the picture of the Person Demon World Channel, two blurry dots seemed to start fighting on a distant skyscraper!
This scene was captured by reporters several kilometers away.
The demon reporter braved the storm and once again tried his best to set up the equipment.
However, due to the great distance, coupled with the constant interference of lightning and thunder in the dark night, the picture was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry, like an unstable dream.
In the camera, one could only vaguely see two black spots moving on the roof, emitting black and gray mist. The invisible impact could generate air waves, making them unable to stand steadily even though they were several kilometers apart.
Whenever two black dots collide, the picture will shake violently, accompanied by a harsh noise.
“Who is it…?”
"Another slate bearer?"
"What kind of slate is that? Why haven't I seen it in any books?"
"No, I think I've seen this kind of God-era writing in the Magical Genealogy class of the Holy Research Institute. Is this, a seal-stone?!"
A priest in the temple stared at the crystal screen and actually screamed.
Her sudden change in expression made the other citizens a little nervous for a moment.
The priest had a complicated expression on his face. It seemed that he did not know the answer, but was afraid to mention some ominous "taboo words".
"According to the information, the current owner of the [Original Slate - Seal] is Asksan, the cardinal of the Church of Resurrection in the Northern Continent..."
Asksan, the Bishop of Annihilation, symbolizes fear, despair and torture.
As one of the supreme cardinals of the Church of Resurrection, every sealing and cursing technique he mastered had sown the seeds of death in the world.
For the people of the Northern Continent, his terrifying level is no less than that of Perlman, who is causing unrest and almost massacring the city.
According to legend, Asksan's sealing technique is silent, but more deadly than any lethal magic. In just a few hours, he can turn a prosperous large city-state into a silent purgatory. No matter the strong or the weak, no one can escape from his seal. There is no sympathy or humanity in the eyes of this cardinal, only a morbid fascination with death and extinction.
Bishop Silent was feared by the creatures of the Northern Continent, and his fame even spread to the Southern Continent.
"But isn't Asksan suspected to be dead?"
"Maybe the intelligence is false? He's actually still alive?"
Many people asked in panic and confusion.
Some time ago, some news circulated from the Northern Continent, whether true or not, mentioned a great battle among the bishops of the Resurrection Church.
A change of bishops in the Resurrection Church may have occurred some time ago.
The situation in the Flower City of Pariel has now become a mess. First there was a rebellion, and then mysterious figures appeared one after another, making it impossible to distinguish the real from the fake.
But no matter what, they can only hope that a strong man will suddenly appear and stop Perlman.
"Why, first Loren, and then Asksan?"
Sitting on a long bench, platinum-level card maker Bruton pushed his glasses, frowned and muttered to himself.
He was also protected in the temple by the Person Kingdom at the first opportunity.
As a platinum-level card maker from the Kingdom of Alolan, he possesses more information about the situation in the southern continent than ordinary citizens and priests.
Compared to someone who can unexpectedly appear at a critical moment, their appearance itself is accompanied by weirdness.
If you were not immersed in the joy of grabbing a life-saving straw, and thought carefully, you would find it extremely incongruous.
Some time ago, there was actually a rumor in the Northern Continent, whose authenticity was uncertain, saying that Asksan was dead.
And the scene of his death was also related to Loren.
At first, no one thought this information was correct, because High Priest Loren wiped out a group of destruction branches that took the initiative to attack a short period of time, proving that Loren was most likely in the southern continent.
Or he rushed back at an incredible speed, almost as if he could predict the future.
In the past six months, more and more mailmen from the north and south have talked about the bishop turmoil in the Protoss Empire, and they have confirmed that Loren is indeed active in the northern continent, and the news of Asksan's death is becoming more and more real.
As a normal person with independent thinking ability, Bruton gradually frowned.
Could it be that...
Has someone secretly united a part of the Resurrection Church and remotely commanded them from a distance to act as a hidden pawn so that the world situation would run as he expected? Just thinking about this thought made him feel cold.
Asksan, whose appearance here is even more illogical than Loren, appeared.
The coup launched by Perlman tonight is a variable for the entire eastern region and even the southern continent. It goes against the expected script in everyone or some people's minds.
so.
Someone came and tried to erase it.
This unusual aid is more like a "correction" than a rescue! With all the preparations in place, is it time for the Krelian Empire to go to war? Will the stage for the birth of a hero also be set?
Bruton didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He just felt scared.
…
The other side of the south bank of Huadu.
The demon holding the cursed magic book paused and looked at the giant open-air screen behind him.
At this moment, he no longer changed into Ifatia's appearance, but restored his blurry male face.
Ever since he crossed the Land of Disaster to the Northern Continent and then crossed the sea to the Southern Continent, he had never seen anything as strange as today.
Whenever a plan is about to succeed, it goes slightly off track.
Although it doesn't seem to have much of an impact, he and Perlman have an absolute advantage in terms of pure combat power and victory conditions, but it always seems like there is an uncertain factor that cannot be eliminated.
"Rocky McCarthy..."
Beelzebub took off his gray hood and looked towards the far north in the heavy rain.
From his contact with Pearlman, he learned that Loren was actually impostor Rocky McCarthy, and now he was not sure how capable Rocky McCarthy was.
A key to the defense center of Pariel City in Huadu has been obtained.
Originally, he planned to go to the last Duke's Mansion on the South Bank to get the remaining keys to the South Bank, and then go to the Demon Realm on the North Bank to meet Perlman.
After thinking about it, Beelzebub changed direction and headed for Area 4 on the North Shore.
To be on the safe side, it is better to make sure that Rocky McCarthy can be eliminated first.
…
North Shore District 10.
A grayish red glow on the skyline is gradually deepening, like marshmallows soaked in blood, slowly revealing a soft, dark red.
Rain flowed freely along the glass curtain wall of the building, and the lightning reflected winding silver snakes dancing in the darkness.
Thunder roared, echoing through the buildings.
The rebel demon lord Perlman and the suddenly appearing man in gray fought for the second time in this small space of sky.
Perlman waved his hands, and inky black mental power surged out like a tide, heading straight for the man in gray.
The mental power was thicker than a rainstorm, as if it would devour all the remaining light and drag the entire world into endless darkness.
But the man in gray did not back down.
The next moment, a ray of emerald green light burst out from his body, and the scenery barrier and the black malice collided fiercely in mid-air, causing a deafening noise.
The powerful air waves brought about strong winds, and the buildings beneath their feet began to collapse. The rain formed a huge vortex around them, like the eye of a typhoon.
"There's no special effect of the original slate wind this time?"
Pearlman pushed hard with both hands and questioned.
Although it is incredible and unheard of to forge the original slates so that each one is unique and has the glory of the Age of Gods, this is the fact. When the opponent used the immunity field to offset his attack for the second time, there was no special effect of the original slate wind this time.
The other party is obviously a habitual fraudster and he is very capable of controlling himself.
The violent black mental power pressed down like a tsunami, unstoppable.
"As we all know, two types of primordial slates cannot exist at the same time. I will not use the wind slate when I start using the sealing slate."
Lanci smiled leisurely and responded honestly. The rock layers of the earth fell off one after another. Countless cracks shook and stretched out, turning into an abyss. Black flames rose from the ground along the skyscrapers and shot towards Perlman from all directions.
It almost bound Perlman's soul and burned his mental energy to ashes.
The telekinesis summoned by Perlman turned into a black energy ball, wrapping himself in it.
The black flame made a sharp buzzing sound on the mental barrier, but was unable to penetrate this layer of defense.
Taking advantage of this interval, Lanci threw a sealing magic card surrounded by eerie mist, as if to give Perlman a general lesson on the genealogy of magic.
The rain in the sky became extremely oppressive at this moment, almost solidifying, and a shrill wailing like weeping blood echoed in the sound-enclosed space.
Countless ghosts appeared as if coming from another dimension. Their figures overlapped and it was impossible to distinguish each individual one. Like a choir, they were shrouded in the rain and fog.
The wailing sound pierced the boundary between reality and nightmare, bringing with it the obsidian-like soul power of the sealing slate!
All this was just noise in Pearlman's ears.
As a person of spiritual nature, he has a strong resistance to mental interference such as music.
These ghosts could only slow down his movements slightly.
Perlman's telekinetic shield suddenly spread out like wings, and the wind pressure alone blew away the chorus of demon undead spirits.
"Do you understand? You can only bring one Primordial Slate."
Lanqi emphasized seriously.
"You used a fake slate to impersonate me. Do you think I'll be fooled the second time?"
Perlman originally thought that he was a good-tempered demon, but at this moment he also found the other party annoying.
The opponent used this summoned creature with powerful special effects, but there was no other use for it except to show him the light effect of the sealing stone tablet.
A mental shock came down from the sky and enveloped Lanqi directly.
Wherever the invisible magic power passed, the raindrops began to flow again, but Lanqi's body slowed down instantly.
"This time it's real."
Lanqi explained, looking like he didn't want to fight him.
He did not panic, and quickly stabilized his body between the ground and the air. The square magic emblem on the dark gray coat began to burst out dark purple cracks and lightning. Like the innocence in his eyes, the invisible magic barrier in front of him resisted Perlman's telekinesis, and the metal buzzing sound and air waves were raised in circles! Talia had long read Perlman's fighting intentions. He would try to attack with mental magic, so she cast a similar mental spell with him in advance.
As expected, her mental magic and Pearlman formed a control offset.
The remaining damage was neutralized by her magic shield, which also triggered the accessories given to her by Lanqi.
[Silent Emblem]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Counter/Seal]
[Level: 5]
[Effect: Automatically triggered when receiving high damage, absorbing 50% of the damage and sealing 50% of the attacker's attack attribute for 5 seconds. It can be triggered five times every 24 hours.]
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
【Note: Both the inside and the outside are true. 】
To a certain extent, the two of them deliberately took Perlman's attack, because using this equipment could delay Perlman's time and make him give up the pursuit when his attack was weakened.
"Tata, are you okay?"
Lanqi conveyed the thought instantly in his mind.
It was Talia who helped him take on the mental attack just now.
When facing Sigrid's sneak attack in Bandera City on the northern border of the Protoss Empire, the legendary sealer resisted for several times, but Sigrid couldn't kill him. Later, when sorting out his inheritance, it was discovered that he had this kind of jewelry equipment.
"Yes, your teacher Lao Sang is really good to you. He even gave you this kind of card."
Talia felt fine and approved.
Having said that.
But if they continued to fight like this, she didn't see much chance of winning.
When she was possessed by Ranci, her output was limited and she could only barely perform at the eighth level. Now, she was able to control the frenzied Perlman, all thanks to their two Nine Seals' super high-level Demon King special attack on Perlman.
If she is summoned, she can attack with all her strength, but her mana consumption will also increase a lot, and she will not be able to fight with Perlman for long.
No matter what, she decided to listen to Lanqi tonight, treating her as Lanqi's beloved poet and fighting him to the end.
High in the sky of District 10 of Bosen.
Seeing Perlman's terrifying mental power attacking again, Lanci's figure almost turned into a shadow under the dark gray coat. He twisted his finger joints slightly, and the entire skyscraper terrace was instantly shrouded in ominous waves.
Dark grey vines and leaves blossomed from his palms and quickly spread out. The living vines suddenly grew larger and turned into a giant hunting net, covering Perlman's head.
The lines on each vine exude a dark divine light that makes one's soul tremble.
Not only did it trap Perlman, it began to shrink, as if isolating him in a void from which he could not escape! [Gorgeous Flower Artifact]
[Category: Summon Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Wood/Seal]
[Level: 8]
[Effect: Summons several vines, which will surround and block the target. The vines have high damage immunity, and when damaged, they will return multiple damages to the enemy.]
【Note: There are flowers but no fruits, there are leaves but no branches. 】
This is the card that the legendary sealer uses in the last battle of his career. It can seal himself or the enemy. It is also a seal card that is extremely effective against [Nuclear Fusion Wolf].
"Do you think you can delay my frenzy like this?"
Perlman continued to exert mental suppression on Lanci while resisting the vines, and did not use high-powered attacks to directly destroy them.
Although this time he was convinced that Rocky McCarthy was capable of using eighth-level magic, he was still seriously mismatched with the slate holder and could only barely stop him.
Moreover, guys like Rocky are the type of opponents he hates the most. He will neither provoke nor show any real pride or embarrassment in a fight. All that can be seen is him constantly playing weak, as if he is playing with his opponent.
You never know when he might strike back.
But it is also possible that he has no means of counterattack at all.
You're always adjusting your mindset.
"It seems like I'm really at a disadvantage and am about to lose."
Lanci couldn't tell how long Perlman's frenzy of reason would last. He only found that this frenzy and the curse of [Parroni's Resentment] had one unchanging characteristic, which was that they would continue to consume life.
After fighting for a while, he consumed a lot of mana, and Perlman consumed a lot of life, and they were both a little weaker.
If he continues to waste time, he will definitely not be able to win.
Even if Perlman's frenzy was eliminated, Perlman still had mana, but Lanqi had no mana, so he would still be defeated.
But it doesn't matter.
He felt that the winner was almost decided.
"Tata, don't worry about me, just go all out!"
Lanqi thought to himself.
A moment no one noticed.
Orange feathers of light floated in the dark night of heavy rain, and a fairy-like girl among flowers had landed in mid-air.
It was a long moment that seemed to last for eternity.
She was dressed elegantly, had a graceful figure, a faint floral scent, and an angelic face, but there was no smile on her face.
At this time, Perlman's attention was all on Ranch, and he didn't notice that there was a stronger demon in full power state in him! Even when Talia appeared and controlled Perlman, Perlman didn't react. He was busy suppressing Ranch.
“…”
Talia focused her magic power on her fingertips. The air in the direction she pointed was gradually distorted, forming dark gray cracks. Any objects swallowed by it seemed to be crushed in an instant.
Although she had not yet managed to outlast Pearlman's frenzy, she knew that Lanqi would definitely believe that she would not be able to win if she continued to drag the fight on, so it would be better for her to go all out and fight Pearlman to the death.
Gray lines blocked Perlman at the edge of the vines.
【Splitting String Sound】
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
[Attribute: Seal/Space]
[Level: 8]
[Effect: After casting, twelve sealed cracks can be created in space within 60 seconds. Once the enemy touches them, an explosion will occur that ignores defense. The cracks can also be automatically detonated after they exist for more than 1 second. The cooldown time is 150 seconds.]
[Note: suspicion, hatred, fear, pity. Your appearance makes humans more restrained.]
Even the cat boss in the shadow is familiar with this magic.
Not only has the legendary sealer used it, but even the Son of God has a youth version. However, because it has both seal and space attributes, a pure sealer cannot learn it, so you have to bring a card.
If you accidentally touch the gray lines in the air that look like cracks, they will cause them to expand rapidly and explode.
This is almost the most powerful card in the legendary sealer's inheritance, except for the stone tablet. As for the epic sealing technique and epic magic cards he possessed, they cannot be taken away. Except for the epic cards of the original stone tablet series, if there is no special description, they will be lost in history with the death of the holder.
If you want it, you can only wait for the next era of the film world to be reproduced.
"Oh."
The moment Talia appeared with her manic eighth-level magic power, the demons within several kilometers of Bosen District 10 all had the urge to kneel down before her.
Perlman's gaze, which was originally on Lanci, suddenly shifted in astonishment to the gray-haired female demon who exuded an oppressive aura.
But she only made a simple sound, and the devilish sound seemed to entangle in his mind, magnifying his shock and doubt infinitely, so that his entire brain was almost overloaded and unable to think.
Even so, in the chaos, Perlman seemed to be one step closer to the answer.
"Demon King, why do you want to commit yourself to a human?"
Perlman gathered all his magic power. It was not realistic to avoid the direct attack from the Demon King while being disturbed by the vines. At this moment, he had to fight the real enemy for the last time! The opponent seemed to be betting on using Lanqi as a discarded pawn to attract his attention and let the gray-haired Demon King sneak attack him at the critical moment.
Even though Perlman never thought of fighting the Demon King, fortunately this Demon King must be the weakest deformed Demon King in history. Without considering the Demon King's special attacks on demons, she is incredibly weak!
"The answer is simple. He is mine."
Talia spoke to herself coldly, and only at this moment did her voice carry the domineering tone of a demon queen.
The entire space began to distort. The dark gray vines falling from the sky and the gray cracks rising from the ground were about to swallow Perlman in an instant.
At this moment, Perlman sneered, and the black energy ball around him suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black hole.
Although his brain was still a little dizzy, he was sure of one thing, that is, the other party was flashy.
The wind slate is fake, the sealing slate is fake, and even the breath of the devil may be fake!
When you encounter an opponent who likes to play tricks on you, just destroy him head-on. The more you let your imagination run wild, the easier it is to fall into his trap.
Moreover, if the opponent is only of this strength, even he can defeat the Demon King!
In a flash, Perlman's body was emitting an almost translucent black light and shadow, and even his pupils turned into black liquid, dispersing mist, as if he had entered a new state of selflessness, and threw out an unprecedented torrent of mental power, colliding with the dark gray chains.
A terrifying vortex gathers in the center of the black hole, trying to swallow everything.
The vines and the telekinetic black hole collided in mid-air, causing billions of explosions more violent than the interweaving of black and white.
The light is so dazzling, as if the eternal night and the eternal day meet here.
The high-rise buildings in the entire 10th area of the Bosen Demon Realm were shaking in the collision of this force, all the glass was shattered, and bursts of roars were emitted.
…
On a distant high building, Lord Astros of District 7 and Lord Eureka of District 8 are still watching this battle that they cannot intervene in but will determine the fate of the Flower City Pariah.
The wind howled around them, tearing at the edges of the umbrellas with a sharp whistling sound.
The heavy rain was like rapid drumbeats, hitting the umbrellas hard, splashing countless tiny water droplets that danced and spun in the air, just like their heartbeats.
"This is... the Demon King..."
Eureka's eyes widened and the umbrella in her hand almost fell to the ground.
The moment they saw Tata appear, Eureka and Astros finally knew Rocky's true identity.
I originally thought that the Demon King was just a legend in the ancient demon world, but I didn't expect to see the living Demon King with my own eyes today! This may be the decisive blow.
Even Rocky chose to sacrifice himself, letting the demon king possessed by him appear and fight Perlman head-on.
"In contrast to Perlman, who had absolute suppression power and constantly superimposed braking effects and attacked in a frenzy state, Rocky McCarthy chose to procrastinate again and again, his defense became slow, his body was full of fakes, and without the Demon King, he couldn't even use the mental magic of control and offset, and he was quite fragile..."
Eureka looked at the city shrouded in heavy rain and the center of the battlefield, with a complicated look mixed with regret.
"That is to say..."
Astros looked at her.
"good."
Eureka nodded. "Perlman wins."
…
…
Not only Perlman, who fell to the ground with his eyes open, but even Talia was stunned.
She thought Lanqi's sealing slate was fake.
As a result, when she used it, it turned out that this was not a [Fake Slate-Seal], but the real [Original Slate-Seal]? !
Moreover, she herself is a summon of Ranchi. After the secondary attribute is switched from curse to seal due to the card configuration, as a seal-type summon, her whole body can benefit from the bonus of the seal slate. And the seal magic she releases can benefit from the bonus again because she shares Ranchi's slate.
The power of the sealing magic she released frightened even herself.
At this moment, on the ruins, in addition to Perlman lying on the ground, there was Ranch standing calmly not far away, and Talia floating behind him.
"That's admirable, Pearlman."
Lanci looked at Perlman, who was seriously injured on the ground.
"You are the third opponent I will not forget."
