Chapter 74: Chapter 2: Hand of the Demon
“It seems, Your Excellency, that the demonic heart is hard to cultivate. As a noble of the kingdom and a lord of the land, I had intended to show rcy outside the law, only asking that you abandon those vicious and cunning practices of Dark Magic. I would even be willing to introduce you to our Church of Light to study. I really do not wish to see such a talented genius as yourself perish like this. However, I’ve realized that I was mistaken. The Magic Fire has already saturated your heart and body through and through. To free you, it seems, must require a drastic asure,” Malone still appeared calm, but at this mont, he had already begun chanting the spell silently in his heart. He knew that without this battle, he would not be able to co to a conclusion today. “However, I still have one doubt in my heart, if Your Excellency has already avoided , why then initiate contact with ?”
“Hahaha, well said. Perhaps our will and determination exceed those of ordinary people. As a Mage, obtaining such a release is worth it. Let
then witness the power of Malone, the Purple-robed Priest’s Light Magic, and whether it can really purify , whom your Church of Light regards as a demon obstacle. As for why I sought out Your Excellency, please forgive , but I cannot answer that question,” as soon as Kor finished speaking, he wasted no more courtesy. A murderous intent surged in his eyes. No sooner had the thought occurred than his wide-sleevely robes transford into a giant wind column. A crazy spinning Earth Dragon Pillar sprouted from the ground amidst a piercing shriek, tearing through the weed-infested mud and hurling leaves and dirt skyward. In the air, it suddenly morphed into a huge spiraling dragon-shaped wall of dark earth, rumbling toward the Purple-robed Priest standing less than ten ters away.
While Malone had anticipated that his opponent, daring to challenge him alone, would have so vicious trick up his sleeve, he did not expect that his first assault would involve earth-based Elental Magic. This was far outside his expectations. The Light Divine Magic he prepared to combat Dark Magic seed to be of no use as the gigantic Earth Dragon Pillar rushed towards him with overwhelming force.
A rare duel of Mages was unfolding. Had ordinary people been witnessing it, they would not believe that a single person could create such earth-shattering montum. As the Mages uttered their spells, the various elental powers in the surrounding air began to fluctuate wildly. Even the nearby space began to show signs of mild distortion. Trees around them shook violently, as though stirred by an invisible hand of a Demon. Faced with the oncoming Earth Dragon Swallow, Malone, who was not ready, had no choice but to dodge its edge. The small-scale Spatial Transfer Technique was effortlessly cast with a re thought. Kor had not even had a chance to discern the shifting figure when the purple figure moved horizontally out of nowhere, sidestepping two ters, causing the raging Earth Dragon Swallow to miss its target and the heavy earthy sll to fill the entire space.
With a flick of Kor’s finger, the empty Earth Dragon shrank into a half-ring shape in the air, contorting and twisting strangely. The dragon’s head in the air suddenly enlarged and instantly turned into a giant spiral funnel. Changing direction, it abruptly assaulted from the side, charging back. However, this ti, Malone no longer gave way. Not retreating an inch, his fingers sparked a luminous fla that transford into countless swords of light. They t the Earth Dragon head-on, shattering the air. The earth pillar exploded in the air into countless clods of earth and dust. Scattered leaves and dry branches mixed within the dirt, stirring the battlefield into chaos.
Yet all of this did not distract the two central figures standing on the open ground from their focus. Each was aware of the other’s considerable strength, making the battle arduous. The Priest was shocked to find that his opponent not only possessed powerful Dark Magic Power but was also so adept at Elental Magic. This ant that the rogue could easily use his Elental Magic Power to conceal the deep-seated Dark Magic nature within him. If Malone hadn’t coincidentally detected this while the rogue was unaware, the rogue’s clever disguise could have deceived people for who knows how long. Moreover, there seed to be many secrets hidden behind his opponent’s profound gaze, so of which even faintly related to his own Church of Light, but they remained elusive amid the urgency.
Kor, however, was also intimidated by his opponent’s display of power. He had mixed Dark Magic Power with Earth Magic and launched it, hoping the earth-based magic would confuse his opponent and make him overlook the Dark Magic Power blended in with the earth. If only a speck of dirt could touch Malone, he could have made him pay dearly. However, the formidable power of the opponent’s Holy Light Sword caused all the Dark Magic Power to dissolve in an instant, and the characteristic incompatibility made his dispersed Dark Magic vanish upon contact. The fierce Light Magic of the Purple-robed Priest filled Kor with deep, inner alarm.
Two gazes locked firmly onto each other like solidified pillars of light, Kor suddenly displayed a smile, revealing his white teeth, “Mr. Malone, it seems we still need to exchange so insights. It’s difficult for us to determine the victor with just a move or two.”
“If Your Excellency, the Baron, is inclined, Malone would not dare to decline the company.” The Purple-robed Priest still had a warm smile on his face, as comforting as a spring breeze.
No longer engaging in conversation, as Kor snorted coldly, countless enormous active vines suddenly sprouted from the ground and reached out to entangle the Purple-robed Priest who was caught off guard—circled by what seed like an endless number of huge pythons, more and more of them, tighter and tighter, the thick stems appeared to constrict the Priest as if he could hardly breathe. It looked as though he might suffocate to death, but Kor knew this was unlikely. If it was this easy to deal with a Priest of the Church of Light, he wouldn’t have had to flee from the Church’s knights in such a desperate manner.
A dark red flicker of fla flashed across the Priest’s face, and with a slight movent of his lips, the Priest’s body, tightly bound by the dense green vines, trembled violently. A dazzling burst of fla spewed from the Priest’s mouth and soon spread all over his body, flaring up in an instance; he seed to turn into a fiery man emitting a holy white fla that blossod with dazzling brilliance. The shrill sound of “hissing” filled the open space, instantly turning the huge vines into burning tendrils. A strong stench of char mixed with foul odor as dark, burnt ooze flowed from the burning vines and seeped into the ground, causing puffs of green smoke to rise, nauseating to behold.
With a single motion, the Priest’s entire body trembled intensely once again, and the vines that had been tightly wound about him suddenly slackened, losing their vitality in an instant and disappearing into the ground after they fell.
Kor sucked in a cold breath. His unique “Hand of the Demon” took a lot of effort to research. He even referred to so bizarre symbols on a sheepskin scroll, and although he couldn’t decode the text on it, the common magical symbols and spell symbols did inspire him. He had quite so confidence in this original trick of his. These vines weren’t anything special—just a type of climbing plant with an exceptionally tenacious life force from the Wood Magic category—but he had combined it with corrosive Dark Class Magic, and now it had been easily nullified by his opponent. These corrosive liquid demons had even been tested by him to penetrate an inch-thick iron plate in an instant, yet they couldn’t seep through the opponent’s Protective Body Divine Technique. Could this guy’s abilities be a bit too strong? Kor felt a pang of self-doubt in his heart. Had he been a bit too reckless this ti?
