Knight and Wand - Chapter 386: The Game Is Undecided

He raised his voice to challenge me, "Don't you want to fight me? Wizard, how about we fight in an open and aboveboard manner? Just one on one!"

However, what answered him was the faint sneer that echoed in the spiritual field.

"It's a waste of time. I never intended to compete with you in skills. Did you take my previous words seriously?Besides, you attacked with the 'Mage Killer', what qualifications do you have to ask for a fair magic contest? Besides, I have already won."

"It's too early to say that. It's embarrassing to fall into the same trap twice." Leon said calmly with bluffing: "But the spirit-like field can't trap me. Coming here is like going home to me. Before I became a wizard, the first thing I learned was to leave the cursed land. If you want to trap me, you have to kill me first."

"Kill you? No need. If you want to go out, just use your ability to the best of your ability. But since you were captured by me, everything is over for you.This is easier than I expected. It seems that even the great Venerable can sometimes overestimate his enemies."

"What?" Leon instinctively felt something was wrong from the other party's confident words.

"It seems that the magic heritage of the Western Continent is too crude. Didn't your mentor teach you that the spirit-like field is located in the chaotic time and space between the cracks in the curtain?"

Leon felt a chill on his back when he heard this.

The two realms have been united, the chess game has been decided, my mission is accomplished, goodbye, Lord Leon, go out and submit to your fate." The echo that shook the dark forest slowly dissipated, and there was no response.

Leon looked around, restraining his gullibility and trying to calm himself.

The opponent used the same trick again to create a rift in the spiritual world to trap him once again. It was obviously impossible for him to leave the core of the rift for him to destroy easily.

The magical connection with Canis and the Holy War Knights was severed, which also meant that the area covered by this spiritual field was not large enough to accommodate the heroic spirits outside.

——A faint green light blooms from the wick of the soul.

The moment he saw the wayfinder was working, Leon felt no joy at all, instead the coldness behind him spread throughout his body.

The land beneath his feet that had turned into a spiritual rift belonged to Kleinion, but at this moment, the earth vein spirit lamp sensed an earth spirit vein that did not exist on Kleinion at all. This meant that Kleinion was indeed likely to have merged with Gaia.

Looking at the spirit lamp in Leon's hand, Olivia was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted immediately.

She couldn't help but flash with anxiety in her eyes, and looked up at Leon: "We have to get out quickly, no matter what those guys are planning, we have to stop them as soon as possible!"

Leon nodded with a grim expression, silently turned the direction of the spirit lamp, looked at the guidance of the spiritual light, and immediately took Olivia and started forward.

However, after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

“No, we can’t go out.” Leon held Olivia’s shoulders and stopped in shock.

"If we go out, it might be too late for us to do anything." Leon looked up at the chaotic sea above his head, his thoughts racing like lightning.

The experience of the Battle of Rolandar proves that the words of the spiritual wizard are not false.

In the short few minutes when he was torn open by his own self-explosion and brought here, Kleinian, it is very likely that countless days and nights have passed, and the ritual of extracting the soul has long been completed.

If Klenion has merged with his own world, then the same is likely to be true for the demons on the continent of Omros who have stolen the souls of their own realms.

"Can't go out? Why?" Olivia was very confused.

Leon instinctively clenched Gungnir, and used every second to explore the magic in his mind. Thanks to the incident in the palace, he had learned a lot about the time and space theories of the Lorelites during his return to Avalon.

"The quasi-spiritual field is located between the real void and the spirit world, just like a splash of water in the river of time. If the knowledge in the ancient books is correct, we are outside the fate of Omros and Klenion. But once we step into reality from here, we will enter a fact that is already determined by the fate of all things."

"You mean, everything outside hasn't happened yet?" Olivia looked a little confused.

There must be a way.Looking at his lover who was by his side, he suddenly felt at ease and slowly calmed down.

Yep.

There is still a chance!

If the space and time within the spirit-like field is the splashes from the river of time.

I still have a chance, but not here, nor in reality!

Leon looked at the golden ball floating above his shoulder.

The Void Compass has the coordinates of the ruins of the spiritual palace where Suvel is located in the spiritual world, but the magic power in it had long been exhausted when he and Sasha and a dozen others were teleported across the void dimension. Now, the magic power required to activate it is as low as a chasm.

However, he had another way to enter the abyss of the spiritual world.

In order to communicate with the blood demon and urge the blood descendants of Klenion to cooperate, he has been delaying the idea of ​​eliminating its power. Until now, he still has not erased the demon projection in the Neti card.

Leon injected magic power without hesitation and threw the card.

"Come out, Skush!"

Blood mist filled the air, and six flesh tentacles swept across the dead tree with a bang. A hideous demon shadow stretched out of the illusory black crack.

Before Leon could speak, the blood demon roared angrily: "Valari's lackeys have come to find me. I placed my hopes on you in vain! Now I have to be buried with you lowly ants!"

"Shut up! Isn't it you and them who caused all this?" Leon interrupted Skush's roar angrily.

He took a deep breath and didn't want to continue arguing with this devil.

"Open the passage to Suvel Spiritual Palace, I'll come find you right away!"

"What do you want?"

"I will open your seal."

".?"

"In return, you must help me go to the place where Valarri performed the ritual of extracting Gaia's soul from the spirit world to awaken 'Erkas'!"

The flesh-corroded palace turned into purgatory, with floods of blood and scarlet creatures pouring out of the cracks in every corner.

Countless Skush monsters brandished their bloody tentacles and whip blades, rushing madly towards the tide of demons invading the Blood Nest with a bloody wind.

The sharp claws collided with the crystal blades, and the crystal-like demons were flashing with strange lights. The demon army transformed by crystals waved magic wands like giant sickles, and flashes of magic power impacted the battlefield with inhuman howling, tearing the dome apart, splashing large pieces of blood and flesh like rain. The demon's flames spread in the scarlet corroded spirit palace, and in this twisted battlefield with blood and flesh flying everywhere, the space blood demon trembled under the tearing.

Giant thorny whiskers surged out from the cracks, sweeping up the surrounding weird crystal monsters and crushing them to pieces.

Its flat, horned demon head caught sight of the blood demon's huge beard, and it immediately swung its arms to smash the crystallized flesh and blood creature in front of it, and rushed towards it.

The entire corridor of the Spirit Palace shook under his weight.

The dark void between the tentacles rippled, and Leon and Olivia's figures seemed to be vomited out, and the two of them flew out of the rift.

As soon as she landed, she saw the charging crystal monster and without hesitation, she transformed into a silver light and swung her sword to meet it.

The deep blood pit exploded like a blood rain under the huge force of tens of tons, and even the hard floor of the spiritual palace underneath collapsed and sank.

Olivia dodged the demon's terrifying hammer blow and flew onto the troll's knee. She swung her sword in a circle, making a sharp buzzing sound and leaving a deep wound on the crystal demon's elbow and chest.

The solid crystal shattered like dust, and the angry troll swung his other arm to try to smash the tiny object in the air away, but he turned around and stepped on the demon's crystal arm, making him even more furious.

The huge mouth opened, and the demon tried to breathe towards the mortal.

A blazing magic flame spear blade penetrated from the back of its head and came out from its huge mouth.

The huge impact from falling diagonally above almost made the troll lose its balance. It shook its head angrily, and its battering ram-like arms cracked into several cracks and turned into fingers, trying to grab Leon from behind.

"Get out of the way!" Leon held Gungnir tightly and shouted to remind the girl.

Seeing Olivia kick her feet and jump off the devil's arms, Leon immediately used all his magic power to stretch out his wings.

Pulling out the magic spear at the last moment before touching the rift, Leon flapped his wings and pulled himself away from the back of the demon's head - several flesh and blood tentacles of Skush immediately tightly wrapped around the huge crystal demon, binding it so that it could not move.

The next moment, the spiritual world passage and the blood demon's thorns suddenly disappeared, and the space rift that disappeared along with them swallowed up the giant demon skull stuck in the space-time rift without any hindrance.

With a loud bang, the crystal demon body, which seemed to have been beheaded, stopped struggling and collapsed. It lost its luster and shattered into a large number of flying crystal fragments.

Waving his hand, Leon pulled the Neti card back into his palm, inserted it into his waist, turned around, flapped his wings and landed back on the ground. The Molten Flame Spear Blade killed the low-level monster that attacked Olivia, and he raised his head and roared at the flesh and blood tunnel.

What responded to him was a bloody and flesh tunnel on the wall not far away that opened up like a lamprey.

Waving the magic spear and releasing the wind hammer, blowing away the enemies blocking the way on the battlefield, Leon pulled Olivia and rushed in.

Their feet suddenly fell into a huge hollow vertical passage. Leon quickly hugged the falling girl with his left hand and used his wings of light to stabilize their fall.

Seeing a crack opening up again diagonally below him, he immediately turned around and went in.

The hidden narrow space in the building seemed far away from the battlefield where demons were fighting outside. Only the dull roar of explosions and the shaking of buildings could still be felt.

Taking the shortcut opened up by the blood demon, they bypassed the path of fierce fighting, went deeper, and crossed a narrow arch bridge of flesh and blood in the dark space.

Leon stepped onto the suspended platform in front of him and saw the huge crystal surrounded by scarlet spikes but without any signs of being eroded by the blood demon.

Thick red mist continued to spread in the crystal, and occasionally azure lightning would stir up bursts of swirling scarlet light.

The familiar figure of ancient magic intelligence was projected in front of Leon and Olivia.

".My Supreme Lord, I offer you advice once again. After testing, I found that you are very weak. I don't think you intend to release the blood witch."

"I know what I am doing, Chief of Intelligence. In the name of the King of France, I order you to open the seal of Skush, immediately!" Leon stopped and interrupted Suville's projected warning without any hesitation.

After receiving clear instructions, the virtual image of the intelligent projection had no choice but to close its mouth and bow its head respectfully.

The golden horns supporting the crystal slowly opened, and the entire space began to tremble with the terrifying energy that vibrated within the Spirit Palace.

Almost instantly, bright red cracks appeared all over the crystal cage.

Endless red fog surrounded the platform and spread. Countless tentacles and spikes grew from the huge flesh-and-blood walls of the prison. A burst of hearty, dull laughter sounded from the darkness.

".Ah. How can I thank you for your liberation?"

His skin instinctively developed goose bumps under the armor, and the magical perception in his mind was like facing a huge blood-red tsunami.

Compared to facing the blood demon in Rolandar, facing the real body of a high-level demon in the spiritual world, the terrifying magic power is dozens of times stronger than that in the outside world.

The disgusting bloody wind around her made Olivia cover her nose. The girl's thin eyebrows were twisted into an eight shape. She instinctively felt that her life was crumbling, as if the terrible threat of death only existed in the devil's thought. She held the Holy Sword of the Sun and stood in front of Leon to protect him.

The sound of rustling and squirming approached in the red fog. Huge thorny tentacles supported the flesh-and-blood demon that slowly emerged from the red fog.

".I have thought about fusing you and your wonderful little lover into a blood beast. How about that? You and her seem to have great potential. I promise that I will carefully transform your structures and give you extraordinary power to become my most proud blood masters."

Lion raised Gungnir and pointed at the blood demon's huge head, but remained unmoved by his threats.

"You can try, but whether you can do it or not, I have to remind you, Skush, that you don't have much time left. Valarie may find time to find you at any time and make you into a crystal sculpture. I think you will look more artistic than you are now."

"."

".You are too weak, mortal. Even I can kill you like crushing a bug. How can you be so confident that you can destroy the ritual of Valari?You have missed your last chance. It is too late now. Klein has been drawn from the mortal world into the realm of the High Heaven. He is connected to the soul of your world and is being injected into the incubator of the immortal demon god. I am one of the creators of this magic. No one knows better than me. Now there is no way to separate the two souls again. "

Leon put down the magic gun, shook his head and sighed: "This has nothing to do with you. If you don't believe me, then isn't it just sending us to die in front of Valar? It saves you from having to do it, how about it? Maybe, I can distract Valar's attention and buy some time for you to escape."

The sarcasm in the mortal's words made the thorns and tentacles on Skoosh's body tremble in annoyance.

The scarlet demon eye shrank.

"That's right, there is really no need to stop you from seeking death."

A dark door like a swirling storm opened before Leon's eyes.

"Go ahead, I want to see how you can struggle in front of that arrogant bastard."
