Chapter 492: Chapter 217: Knight Seven-piece Set_3

Austin inwardly noted the difficulty, very certain that the person opposite was from the Magic Department, not yet clear how much they knew about him, or to what extent they suspected.

He knew nothing about the other party, yet they seemed to know him like the back of their hand, a passivity that greatly annoyed Austin.

"I am Guyin!"

Guyin insisted without being able to probe Austin’s depth and turned to Wayne, "What about you, Young Master Wayne, what secrets are you hiding? Did the Deputy Director of the Magic Department, Obu, really die at the hands of a Void Worm, or did you kill him?"

"That was a Legendary Mage, endowed with three types of Faith Magic from the Life Alliance, in possession of an abundance of Divine Arts, and many powerful Magic Tools..."

"What exactly did you do that forced him to open the Gate of Truth?"

"Glug!"

Veronica swallowed hard, nervously, as the Devil suggested that societal scum had killed a Legendary Mage.

Real or fake, how long had he been practicing Magic?

Veronica was deeply skeptical, sure that the Devil was framing Wayne, but just as the Devil had framed Austin, she knew them too well, or perhaps the Devil wasn’t lying.

The logic held, and Veronica realized she didn’t understand them at all.

"Mage Obu died at the Gate of Truth, personally verified by the Magic Department, indeed the work of a Void Worm, I, a Silver Mage, could never be his match..."

Wayne, ignoring Austin’s probing gaze, shrugged and said, "As for why Mage Obu opened the Gate of Truth, perhaps he wanted to show off his Life Force Field. Villains die from talking too much, just like you right now."

Guyin shook his head and chuckled meaningfully, "Truly like father and son, keeping secrets just the same. But I wonder... how much do you really know about each other?"

"..."x2

Wayne and Austin frowned in unison.

Such an obvious attempt to sow discord, and I’ve taken the bait without resisting. x2

Veronica’s heart raced as she clutched Austin’s arm and then grabbed Wayne’s tentacle.

Both of them deflated, saying in sync, "Be careful, don’t let me catch you in Lundan!"

The simultaneous threat made Guyin laugh heartily, and left a bitter taste in Veronica’s heart. She decided to go back and ask Hefei exactly how Wayne came to be, or alternatively, what his mother’s name was.

The mysterious person’s thoughts left Guyin, whose laughter stopped abruptly. With a single hand pressing down, he summoned the container that held the six Demon Kings.

Wayne moved to shield Veronica with his tentacle, while Austin was no longer pretending, vibrant and tireless, drawing out seven or eight playing cards, clubs or diamonds, all face cards like J, Q, K, summoning shadowy figures one by one.

"Roar!" xN

Instantly, Giant Dragons roared, and lions flapped their wings and danced, as seven or eight magical creatures appeared before Wayne.

Austin stepped on a Giant Eagle and soared high into the sky with Veronica, while the remaining magical creatures either teamed up with Knights or charged alone at the Demon King’s container.

Without taking Wayne, they threw the little trashcan into the center of the chaotic battlefield, swearing to probe his depth.

Wayne wasn’t surprised, even a bit relieved—if not for Veronica’s presence, Austin would have shamelessly stood by the Devil’s side by now.

His hands transformed into long swords, the Great Eyeball sweeping across the battlefield, and with an electrifying step, his pale figure stretched out to appear before the Succubus.

Since fighting was inevitable, might as well pick someone easy on the eyes.

Guyin’s form faded, ignoring the combined attack of the Nature and Darkness Knights, floating up from the ground, and swiftly chasing the Giant Eagle carrying Austin.

His true form was that of a snake-necked monster bird, generally resembling a crow, with incredibly fast flying speed.

Even in human form, his speed was exaggerated, and he quickly caught up, leaving no escape for the Giant Eagle.

Austin silently cursed his bad luck, controlling the Giant Eagle to dive down, calling on Nature and Darkness, the two trump cards for an escort, and turned down Veronica’s request to join the fight.

The battlefield was in utter chaos, arrows, the glint of swords, and long spears alternated, with colors and roars that never ceased; the fragile space could not withstand the eruption of so many divine powers, shattering layer by layer, collapsing again and again.

Wayne battled the Succubus, ignoring her greatest reliance, which was her beauty, striking with deadly moves, every swing of his blade aimed at her neck.

A good choice, the grand and tumultuous battle was surely a feast for the eyes, unlike the experience of fighting a giant fly.

Swish!

Sharp blades crossed, cutting the Succubus in two at the waist, her afterimage dissipated, teleporting behind Wayne, launching a whip-like kick that was meant to enlist Death Knights, splitting her thighs towards the back of Wayne’s head.

The whip-kick drew a pink afterimage, carrying a roaring whoosh as it tore through the air; concurrently, the Scorpion Tail Venom Hook extended from behind, aiming directly for the Great Eyeball on Wayne’s front.

Wayne didn’t defend, allowing his head to be kicked apart by the Succubus, both long blades circled behind, blocking the space for the Succubus to escape, and four tentacles reached out, tightly wrapping around her legs.

Got you! Got you!

The venom hook pierced through the Great Eyeball on Wayne’s chest, venom spurting out in an instant, dissolving the pale upper half of his body.

From his chest downward, his abdomen and legs were all corroded by the venom.

The composition of the toxin was unclear, its lethality and destructive power were astonishing; it was not only a neurotoxin targeting the flesh, but it also affected Wayne’s thinking to some extent.

His body froze for a moment, and the upper half was carried off into the air by the Succubus.

The next second, the world in the eyes of the Succubus spun, her legs locked by the tentacles, unable to escape; her afterimage spun around, crashing heavily to the ground.

Boom!

The impact created a deep crater, and a large amount of dust dispersed along the cracked trails on the ground.

The Succubus felt her head buzzing, attempting to fight back, only to be spun around by the tentacles again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wayne’s half body landed, the white foam wriggled, and the missing body parts were restored as before, his ten fingers transformed into pale spikes, retracting the four tentacles, lying in wait like a lion for the Succubus to fall into his trap.

Ten spikes pierced through the Succubus’s face, chest, and abdomen; without faith-enhanced attacks, they couldn’t erase the Lord of Lust’s divine power within her, thus couldn’t kill her.

Austin was watching with keen eyes from the side, so Wayne, not wanting to reveal too much, broke off the ten tentacles, embedding the white foam within the Succubus.

Rapid growth!

In that instant, the chest and abdomen of the Succubus swelled immensely, her nine orifices burst open, mouth, nose, ears, and eyes erupting with foam, and a twisted spiral of a pale tree rose from the ground, faces twisted in agony clung to it, whispering chaos and complexities from within.

Oh god, this is freakishly eerie!

Figures in the melee, now regardless of friend or foe, subconsciously moved away from the area.

Only the giant fly representing gluttony buzzed over, its sharp mouthparts tearing through the air; at the thorax, twisted limbs branched out, and its spiral mouth full of sharp teeth consumed Wayne.

A mysterious person hid in the shadows, curiously observing the pale tree.

"The power of the void..."

"His path of evolution is different from everyone else’s..."

"Can I understand that Guyin opened the Gate of Truth and therefore failed, so..."

"Why did Guyin open the Gate of Truth? In his world, he should be a god."
