Chapter 1063 Death of Count Orleans
Looking at the frozen and shattered body of Count Orleans falling to the ground, Aiwass retracted the sickle in his hand.
The damage caused by "Death of Desolation" is to directly cut off the opponent's "maximum life". Although this state can be dispelled through rituals, it can basically prevent the opponent's recovery effect during battle.
This is particularly effective against the Moon Child, who has a strong regenerative ability - if he is fatally wounded by this sickle, it means he cannot be resurrected again.
If it weren't for the power of the Box of Nothingness, he would have turned into a stone statue in an instant.
From this point of view, the power of the Void Box is indeed strong...
Because Aiwass is very cautious.
Despite his outward display of disdain and composure, he actually took this enemy seriously. While he didn't know the extent of his mastery over the Void Chest, he was still a half-god, even higher in priority than the Fallen Angels.
Within the realm of the Empty Box, there are rules like those of a grand competition. If a move is broken, points will be deducted, rendering it ineffective.
This is why this is a mechanism book - because cracking the mechanism is equivalent to "cracking the opponent's tricks."
There may only be one chance to take action.
In order to prevent the opponent from having any illusion resistance or any treasure that could resist illusions, he specially used the "Yin and Yang Harmony" feature and released Star Ice with five times the mana, giving this move an extra level of priority, thus ensuring his death.
Even so, the Chest of Nothingness prevented his death.
It clearly wanted to give Count Orleans a chance—if he could see through the illusion, accept his own death, and forcibly break through the illusion, he really had a chance to win the resurrection match on the spot. Withered Death could indeed wipe out his maximum health, but the Empty Box could dispel this effect with a single move.
But it is obvious that Count Orleans's understanding of the empty chest is not complete, and he does not have the courage to face death without fear.
This is not surprising.
At least nine out of ten babies born after their first month of life are afraid of death. This is also the similarity between the Path of Love and the Path of Dusk—both are paths closest to "nothingness," and both fear falling into nothingness while gradually sliding into it.
Now his ugly appearance in the hallucination has caused him to gradually lose the protection of the Box of Nothingness.
Everything inside the cut-in-half ice sculpture was gradually evaporating and shattering.
His eyes were still wide open, lifeless pupils staring at the ceiling. His eyeballs were completely frozen, their pupils shattered like a contact lens that had been stepped on. His pale skin was covered in cracks, and grayish-white petrification marks spread.
When the traces of petrification just spread across his chest, it was as if he had broken through a critical point.
That invisible resistance finally dissipated completely.
In just a moment, petrification spread rapidly - the ice sculpture of Count Orleans turned into a cold gray-white stone statue.
The next moment, illusory white light spots gathered together.
It was not the star-like, almost invisible white light that had killed those Moon Children before, but it turned into a soft ball of light the size of a small kumquat and flew into Aiwas' body.
Kill the fifth-level transcendent and gain 1650 free experience points.
...Oh no.
Aiwass raised his eyebrows.
He is at the fifth level and can get more than a thousand experience points by defeating an opponent of the same level?
Although he still hasn't fully understood the rules for gaining experience... but basically, it all follows the principle of "the more thorough the death, the more experience you get", "the stronger the opponent, the more experience you get", and "the stronger the opponent is than you, the more experience you get".
Based on this principle, Aiwass's greatest experience gain so far was from the First Red Phase. As a child of the moon, he wouldn't enter the dream world after death, so it could be considered a complete death. Even so, the Earl of Orleans gave Aiwass more experience than he had when he killed Earl Dawn.
This probably means that this guy is quite strong.
——Fortunately, I was more skilled and defeated him the moment we met.
"It's completely dead now," Aiwass turned around and smiled easily, "Let's go, Sherlock. Let's clean up the others first - I'll go and help treat the innocent people, and you'll be responsible for cleaning up those Moon Children - should be no problem?"
"certainly."
Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his enemy defeated by Aiwass again.
He was actually secretly sweating in his heart just now.
The moment he saw the other person, he realized something was wrong.
Aiwass hadn't explained the Void Chest's specific mechanics, but from Aiwass's brief description alone, he could already tell it was a power capable of granting the Swan King his wish. The Count of Orleans clearly possessed this power, and his strange actions were part of a ritual... And Yassen charged forward.
——In an instant, Sherlock was sweating profusely.
Because he realized that Yasen's behavior had been manipulated by some unknown force.
The Arsene he understood would never be so impulsive - as a thief who had almost never failed, Arsene knew very well the meaning of "plan before acting".
Whatever hatred he may have for the Count of Orleans...
At least we should let Aiwass take the first shot, right?
If he rushed forward himself, what good would it do except to give himself up? It was even possible that he would be kidnapped and taken hostage.
Neither Aiwass nor Yassen, nor even the Count of Orleans, thought there was anything wrong with it.
At that moment, Sherlock realized one thing -
They were infected by the power of "beauty" and subconsciously agreed with the rationality of Yasen's behavior.
In other words, without any preparation, Yasin charged towards his nemesis, who was clearly much stronger than him, and was then sent flying by a single blow—this was the script subconsciously directed by the Empty Box. Because it expected this scene to happen, it happened naturally.
On the contrary, it is because Sherlock has no aesthetic sense that he is able to remain sober.
It was for this reason that he delayed in launching a pursuit.
If Aiwass were caught in a battle of equal strength, or even at a disadvantage, Sherlock would attack the enemy no matter what. Even if he couldn't cause any damage... But magic has never been a simple energy bombardment.
Even if the opponent possessed a higher power level, immune to all his direct spells, he still had plenty of power to assist—for example, melting the ground into magma or hollows, making teammates stronger and faster, and granting them protective auxiliary spells like shield, stoneskin, and great strength...even including buffs like foresight and one-time teleportation.
At worst, you can still replenish your teammates' mana pool remotely.
But Sherlock didn't make any move at all.
It’s because he doesn’t know whether there will be more variables.
Now, he could finally confirm... everything was under Aiwass's control.
They should be considered the winners, right? In the judgment of the Empty Box.
In this way, there should be no more accidents.
So Sherlock secretly wiped the sweat off his face, but said calmly: "Who do you think I am? I can still do this simple job.
"...But what happens after that?"
Sherlock asked.
