Chapter 1256

Chapter 1256 | Have Something You Don‘tThe deep “sea” swallowed the bright spherical light, darkening the entire “Unshadowed Domain.”

Silver bolts of lightning burst out from its interior, turning the area where Enuni and Colin lliad were fighting into a forest oflightning.

Amidst the sizzling sounds, countless bolts of lightning slithered upwards and drilled into the gaps in the armor.

This Silver Knight, who had shown his incomplete Mythical Creature form, immediately turned stiff, as though he was paralyzedby lightning. As for Enuni, his black armor, which seemed to be formed from powers of “Degeneration,” had completely absorbedthe lightning, preventing his body from being affected by the rippling damage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Enuni, who had pitch-black fragments peeling off from him, held the dark greatsword withboth hands and slashed at an angle. And at this moment, Colin Iliad hadn’t completely escaped from his paralyzed state.

With a piercing stabbing sound, a deep crack appeared on his left shoulder. The sturdy silver armor seemed to lose its defenseas it was cleaved open by the great sword.

This was a Black Knight's “Cull of Spiritual Flesh.” Not only could it corrode flesh and blood, it could obliterate souls and cleavethrough barriers. It could also cause any living creature with degenerate thoughts to lose their defenses. It was a core Beyonderpower belonging to the Black Knight, stemming from the “Degeneration” domain.

Seeing that the “Cull of Spiritual Flesh” had sliced open the silver armor on Colin lliad’s left shoulder, with the crack quicklydeepening as it went straight for the heart, Derrick tensed up and immediately condensed a spear made up of pure sunlight. Heswung back his hand and threw it towards Enuni.

Unshadowed Spear!Enuni didn’t abandon his attack or dodge. Instead, he raised his remnant illusory black wings and used them to shield himself.Sizzle!

The “Unshadowed Spear” pierced through two layers of the illusory black wings, bursting out a blinding white light that seemedto give rise to a miniature “sun.”

At the same time, Colin’s entire body melted, turning into a pool of silver liquid metal.

The liquid flowed rapidly, reforming the body of Colin Iliad in the distance. He still resembled a giant, and he was still wearingsilver armor. However, half of the City of Silver’s left shoulder and arm had fallen to the ground. The incision was clean with noblood flowing out.

With the use of “Mercury Liquefaction,” Colin lliad sacrificed an arm to avoid Enuni’s lethal blow.

His gaze behind his visor didn’t waver at all. He grabbed the remaining sword of dawn and ran towards his target once again. Itwas like an unusually terrifying steam locomotive that exceeded its speed limit.

Derrick quickly condensed his “Unshadowed Spear” again from the side, causing the spears of light to fly towards Enuni.During this process, he opened his mouth and solemnly said, “God says that the purification is effective.”This was the Beyonder powers of a Notary at the Unshadowed level.

Its compatibility with the Unshadowed Domain created by the Sun Saint made the battlefield brighten even more, causing thedegenerate auras on Enuni and Lovia to further weaken.

“God said it’s ineffective!” The Sun Saint immediately denied Derrick’s “proclamation,” causing the Unshadowed Domain’spurification effect to return to its former state.

Amidst the crackling sounds, the “Unshadowed Spear” approached Enuri. As for the black illusory wings on the Black Knightback, a few pairs had already faded under the miniature sun’s illumination. He only had half left.

Enuni couldn't effectively dodge the pure, bright long spears closing in on him since his hands were full fending off Colin Iliad. Hemade a pair of illusory black wings spread out fully, disintegrating into “darkness.”

As soon as the “Unshadowed Spears” came into contact with the “darkness,” they were stained with a layer of thick, sticky,blackness. They either instantly corroded and broke, piercing the magnificent staircase, or left a curved arc in the air as it spunaround and tore at Derrick Berg.

All of them degenerated at that very moment.

Upon seeing this, Derrick followed his battle instinct that he had honed from all his years of training and his patrolling andexploring experience. He jumped forward and rolled.

Sizzle!Black spears landed behind him, corroding a large segment of the staircase.

At this moment, the Sun Saint was also throwing “Unshadowed Spears,” creating pure white beams that shot across the air. Thisforced Lovia to use one of her “Grazed” souls to constantly “Blink” in an attempt to approach the enemy.

To her dismay, she could only use the ability of one soul at a time in such a state. She couldn’t “Blink” while condensing “SilverRapier” to cull the Sun Saint from a distance to create an opportunity for herself.

Meanwhile, the battle between Klein and his “shadow” was exceptionally intense. Amidst the booming sounds of Air Cannons,the flaring of scarlet flames, pieces of paper scattering in all directions, and illusions turned into bubbles described the battle.

The Silver Knight marionette had basically suppressed the Spectator Saint. After all, no matter how strong the mind dragon’sbody was, it wasn’t a match for a demigod of the Giant pathway when in close combat.

Of course, the Spectator Saint wasn’t in any danger. After all, he had revealed an incomplete Mythical Creature form. If it wasn’tfor the fact that his opponent was only a marionette, and Klein had already digested the Sequence 3 potion and seen many high-level creatures, he could use his exposed godhood to interfere with his opponent’s thoughts, slowly driving him crazy and losinghis rationality.

Without the advantage of the godhood’s influence, the Spectator Saint could only use the Hypnotist’s “Battle Hypnotism” to forcethe target to act erratically, such as attacking in the wrong direction. Using this opportunity, he escaped from the melee battle andentered a “Psychological Invisibility” state again in an attempt to perform a sneak attack on Klein.

AHypnotist’s “Battle Hypnotism” could forcefully hypnotize the enemy during battle, making him do all sorts of erratic actions.However, such actions couldn’t directly cause harm to the victim, and it couldn’t be maintained for too long, as the target wouldquickly wake up.novelbin

Of course, the “Battle Hypnotism” target of the Spectator Saint was definitely not the Silver Knight marionette. This was becauseit was essentially a dead person. This made it immune to all psychological effects. The target of his interference was thethoughts Klein transmitted through the Spirit Body Threads, targeting them so that the information the marionette received wouldbe erroneous. As such, it would act differently from what Klein wanted.

This was actually a psyche interference, and not a psyche hypnosis. The effects were undoubtedly not as effective as the originalversion, but not every saint of the Spectator pathway could grasp such an effect. It was a result of digging deep into one’sBeyonder powers and experimenting.

To the Spectator Saint, there was nothing he could do about this. This was because, be it “Mind Deprivation,” “Mind Storm,” or“Mind Breath,” none of them were effective on a marionette.

The grayish-white dragon that had its head covered in shadows had tried to close the distance with Klein several times, or to useits area-of-effect Beyonder powers, but it was stopped by the Silver Knight marionette. It kept being forced to dodge the “SilverRapier” which could erupt within its body.

As Klein controlled his marionette, he distanced himself from the Spectator Saint and dealt with his “shadow.” It wasn’t too easy,but it wasn’t too much of a burden.

Suddenly, his spiritual perception was triggered as he entered a state of clarity unique to instances when his dream or mindsecretly intruded.

With his lucidity, Klein allowed a portion of his consciousness to rise to the sky and look down at his island of consciousness.

Then, he saw Enuni, the one who looked aged with a face covered in shadows, walk out of the boundless sea of collectivesubconscious, opening the door to his Body of Heart and Mind.

This Spectator Saint didn’t attempt to change the island of consciousness in Klein’s mind. All he did was produce a darkspherical light which had tentacles growing out of it. He turned it into a “seed” that was hard to discover before letting it sink intothe ground.

A Mental Plague seed!

Without any hesitation, Klein immediately switched locations with the Silver Knight marionette, preventing the Mental Plagueseed from landing in his island of consciousness.

The Spectator Saint noticed this change. Not only was he not disappointed, he even revealed a smile.

This was because he had long used Virtual Persona to secretly plant the Mental Plague seeds on the still island of the SilverKnight marionette. Although this couldn’t affect the marionette, it could unknowingly corrupt the enemy who swapped positionswith the marionette and other targets in the surrounding areas.

This was a kind of corruption and infection that targeted the island of consciousness and the psyche. It wasn’t a direct attack, soit was difficult to use Virtual Persona to offset it.

When the time came, the problem that Klein had temporarily concealed with Virtual Persona would completely erupt. He wouldquickly plunge into a passage for losing control, entering an irreversible situation!

Shadow was no stranger to such situations, as Hvin Rambis had used such a method before.

As he secretly laughed at Klein for becoming crazy, reckless, arrogant, and acting like a clown, one who had forgotten lessons ofthe past, he snapped his fingers, summoning a scarlet flame. He then used it to jump over, embroiling himself with Klein.

Another round of paper shreds flew in all directions as the intense battle destroyed the afterimages.

After a short while, Klein suddenly stopped. He raised his left hand that was wrapped with transparent maggots and covered hisleft face.

“Hahaha, hahaha.” He let out a maniacal laugh, controlling the Spirit Body Threads around him like a madman, no longerdistinguishing between friend and foe.

On his right cheek, pale meat tendrils protruded out, as if they were Worms of Spirit that were about to bore out.

When Shadow saw that Klein had gone crazy and was about to lose control, he was worried that he would be infected by the“Mental Plague.” He hurriedly made a scarlet flame rise up and swallow himself.

In the distance, his figure emerged from the flames that had yet to extinguish.

At this moment, the Silver Knight marionette would occasionally launch an attack and occasionally do a twitching dance. It wasobvious that it wasn’t under normal control.

He no longer had the strength to stop the mind dragon manifested by the Spectator Saint. He allowed the other party to spreadout his wings and fly into the air above Klein. He was prepared to use “Mind Breath.”

The Spectator Saint didn’t want to give his enemy who was infected by the “Mental Plague” a chance to breathe. He wanted himto immediately lose control!

Suddenly, this mind dragon’s actions became sluggish, as if every joint was injected with glue.In the next second, a silvery-white beam erupted from his body, splitting his flesh and blood, tearing apart his Spirit Body.

With his back bent, the laughing Klein slowly straightened his body calmly. He released the palm covering his left cheek, and hesmiled at Shadow in the distance.

Behind him, wave after wave of silvery-white beams tore apart the mind dragon, turning it into pieces of pitch-black flesh. Theyfell to the ground, and the knight marionette in silver armor retracted his broadsword and looked coldly at Shadow.

Looking at the slightly lost Shadow, the few Worms of Spirit on his left face curled up and stimulated the curved corners of asmile.

“You haven't seemed to have noticed that | have something that you don’t.”
