Chapter 1037: Chapter 790: The Power of Hell? What a Joke!
The first round ended, and Long Yi advanced smoothly. Although Long Yi had not used any magic, the victory was indeed due to the result of magic, no matter whose magic it was. At this time, Balak had also advanced.
Long Yi was to face Master Balak.
The battle schedule was very tight. When Long Yi stood in front of Balak, the expression on Balak’s face was extremely terrifying.
"Long time no see." Long Yi raised his hand in greeting.
Yet Master Balak contemptuously twisted his mouth, and from his eyes emerged strands of red light, "Terrifying Magic Cast!"
Terrifying Magic Cast? What does that mean?
Suddenly, magic missiles bombarded the sky, and those magic missiles oddly transformed into heads with fierce faces, rushing to tear and bite at Long Yi! Such an astonishing effect of the spell casting even startled the onlookers. Long Yi frowned because he detected a bit of the power of Hell in this magic.
Boom! A magic missile hit Long Yi, and instantaneously, a force from Hell invaded Long Yi’s body.
It was really the power of Hell!
Seeing the surprised look on Long Yi’s face, Balak immediately burst into loud laughter, "You didn’t expect this, Long Yi! This is a gift prepared especially for you! The power from Hell! Just a trace of the power of Hell invading your body, and soon it will devour your power and body completely clean!"
Long Yi didn’t speak. Although he shattered most of the magic missiles carrying the power of Hell, some of that power still infiltrated his body. It coalesced inside him, attempting to devour the energy within Long Yi. On his arm, a visible grey line was constantly moving!
"Look, that is the harbinger of your death! The grey line will continue to grow and get longer. In the end, your body will be completely consumed!" Balak roared.
"Can I know where you got this power from? Seeing as I’m about to die?" Long Yi asked with furrowed brows.
"No... you won’t die. The Ancient Mage Tower will do everything in its power to save your life. But apart from me, no one can eradicate this power of Hell from your body! And I definitely won’t save you! You will be subjected to eternal torment! This is the consequence of opposing Master Solis!" Balak nearly hysterically said, and the red light in his eyes intensified even more.
In the shadows, Solis, who was secretly watching the battle, furrowed his brows tightly in annoyance, "This fool, just a little bit of power was given to him and he can’t even control himself. But it doesn’t matter; after all, he won’t live long."
Meanwhile, Long Yi, still weak, showed a look of despair on his face, "So you mean, your power comes from Elder Solis? Then I just have to ask him for help, right?"
"No!" Balak roared, "This power is mine, and Elder Solis will only bestow it upon the most loyal like me! And you will live in agony for your entire life!"
"This idiot Balak!" Aimondeus cursed angrily in a low voice beside Solis.
"Let it be, it doesn’t matter. Balak is my man; almost everyone knows that. And what’s wrong with him doing things for me?" Solis said.
"This is not good for the reputation..." Aimondeus said.
"Reputation is not important, remember! Power and strength are the keys that rule this world." Solis said.
"Yes, I understand, Master Solis." Aimondeus said with great respect.
"I originally thought Long Yi would struggle a bit more, but to think, just the mere power of Hell could make him submit so easily, it’s really boring." Solis was about to leave as he spoke.
"No! Look, Master Solis!" Aimondeus suddenly shouted, pointing at Long Yi in shock.
In the arena, Long Yi was already smiling and straightening his back.
"Since I’m not going to get any useful information from you, I’m not going to play with you anymore." The Power of Light surged out, and the weak power of Hell had no chance of escape, instantly crushed to nothingness.
Watching the grey marks on Long Yi’s arm disappear amidst a burst of light, Balak couldn’t help but bulge his eyes in surprise.
"How is this possible! How can you break free from the shackles of the power of Hell!" Balak shouted in disbelief.
"What’s impossible about it? If you don’t know, it only means you’re stupid." Long Yi said with a smile, as the Power of Light condensed together.
"Ship Cannon Technique!" A pure Power of Light condensed Ship Cannon Technique fired a beam of light that hit Balak. Instantly, it reacted with the power of Hell within him, causing Balak to burst into intense flames.
The emergency medics hurried over to extinguish the flames and cast healing magic. But the process of these two completely different powers annihilating each other was astonishing, with flames constantly erupting from beneath his skin, then extinguishing and restoring under the effect of the healing spells.
"Your pain won’t last too long, but at least for a long period, pain will be the only thing in your mind." Long Yi said.
Solis, secretly observing the battle, frowned tightly. He realized that Long Yi was actually using the Power of Light from the Heaven Realm. Both the Heaven Realm and Hell belonged to the upper planes, and naturally, their powers were more sophisticated. But how could someone like Long Yi have the ability to wield the Power of Light? If this was just a coincidence, then there were far too many coincidences around Long Yi, weren’t there?
"I need some time for meditation. Keep an eye on the battle for me. Unless there is something important, don’t disturb me," Solis instructed Aimondeus.
"Yes, Master Solis!" Aimondeus said.
A match ended with suspense but no danger.
"What did you discover?" Long Yi asked Little Zi secretly.
"Balak’s consciousness is very chaotic. Just now, while there were many people around, I secretly infiltrated his consciousness. I discovered that there is a strange fragment of consciousness living within him. And it is this fragment that made him so mad, desperate to be loyal to Solis." Little Zi said.
"You mean Balak has been controlled?"
"No, Balak was originally a lackey of Solis, and this fragment of consciousness just further reinforced his loyalty."
"So, what are you so happy about?" Long Yi discovered that Little Zi was actually smiling, evidently having found something amusing.
"Guess what I found within that fragment of consciousness?"
"What?"
"The mark of the God Chasers!" Little Zi said excitedly.
"Ah? Balak is a God Chaser?"
"No! The God Chaser is Solis! To be precise, it’s a segment of consciousness parasitizing inside Solis!" Little Zi said.
"You can know so much just from that tiny fragment?" Long Yi was quite surprised.
"Haha, consciousness can contain so much information after all, and only a Master of my caliber could extract so much from it! Of course, this is the limit!"
"Whether it’s the limit or not doesn’t matter, now that we know Solis is the God Chaser, how should we tell Mentor Yavenny?" Long Yi scratched his head. After all, Yavenny had a habit of appearing and disappearing unpredictably, and if she didn’t show up herself, where would Long Yi even start looking for her?
"I bet she’ll show up soon," Ai Lin said.
"Did I hear someone misses their mentor?"
A soft voice sounded, and at the same time, Long Yi’s ear was enveloped by a small mouth.
"Hey, this isn’t appropriate," Long Yi immediately got goosebumps all over his body.
"Hehe, since you miss your mentor so much, no need to be so reserved. Come on, let’s find a secluded place and indulge to our heart’s content!"
With a boom, Long Yi suddenly found himself standing in a completely blank space.
"Where is this?" Long Yi turned around and asked the bewitching, alluring figure.
"Inside your consciousness, but surprisingly, I thought your consciousness would be filled with all sorts of unsavory images, yet it turns out to be completely blank!" Yavenny said.
"That means my self-consciousness is quite good?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"No, it only shows that you’re naive," Yavenny glanced at Long Yi.
"No way!" Long Yi cried out in agonized protest.
"Listen, what you’re seeing now is just a projection left in your consciousness..."
"You’ve said that before," Long Yi interrupted Yavenny.
"This time it’s for real!" the projection of Yavenny shouted.
"Alright, Projection, what do you intend to tell me?"
"I was programmed to appear as soon as you determined who the God Chaser is, for the purpose of telling you how to deal with the God Chaser."
"Then, what should I do?"
"It’s simple, let the consciousness of the God Chaser parasitize in your own."
"How naive do I have to be to do such a thing?"
"I will set a trap here, and once the consciousness of the God Chaser enters, he will... wait! What is this?"
Whir!
The blank space of Long Yi’s consciousness suddenly turned golden, surrounded by countless golden lightnings falling down, the laws intertwining in all directions!
"Divine Status!? You actually have Divine Status!?" the projection of Yavenny said in surprise.
"For a projection, you’ve got quite the range of expressions," Long Yi said.
"Nonsense, I’ve copied my entire consciousness into this projection!" Yavenny said.
"Alright, let’s continue our conversation, what should I do?"
"Haha, since you possess Divine Status, everything changes! The moment the God Chaser parasitizes in you with Divine Status, you will have absolute mastery over him! He won’t dare disobey any of your orders! I don’t need to teach you any traps at all, all you have to do is let him parasite into your consciousness!" Yavenny said, brimming with excitement.
"But what’s the benefit for me?" Long Yi asked, puzzled.
"Of course, there’s a benefit! The consciousness of the God Chaser contains huge secrets about the gods. If you can control him, you might be able to uncover the secrets of the gods! Just thinking about it excites me! Those are the secrets of the gods, after all!" Yavenny said with excitement.
"So even you are interested in the secrets of the gods?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"Of course! We of the Demon Clan were also created by the gods, naturally, we’re curious about the secrets of the gods. If possible, who wouldn’t want to know the secrets of the gods?" Yavenny said.
