Chapter 77: Flame Demon Monarch Fretaza

Lin Lei arrived at the Star Alliance’s Sky Shuttle docking platform, ready to depart.

But he unexpectedly discovered that someone else was already waiting here even earlier, and this person was Xiao Boru.

“Old Xiao, do you have any advice for me?” Lin Lei never dared to underestimate this old man’s wisdom; in fact, the longer he spent with him, the more he felt the unfathomable depth of his wisdom.

Xiao Boru was currently in the state of a little boy, less than one meter thirty tall. Standing in front of the one-meter-eighty-five Lin Lei, he was about the same as a dwarf. He patted Lin Lei’s body and said in a sentimental tone: “Young man, I know that actually, you don’t have much confidence in this operation either.”

Nothing could be hidden from this old man, so Lin Lei could only remain silent.

Xiao Boru did not expect an answer from Lin Lei either; he just solemnly instructed: “The mutual induction of consciousness in the Universe is very mysterious. Saints possess a prophetic sensitivity, which makes it impossible for Star Alliance warriors to launch sneak attacks on them. But I believe this sensitivity can be blinded!”

“How should I do it?” Lin Lei asked in surprise.

“Execute what you need to do like a program, and keep your mind empty and spiritual. This can at least win you one chance for a sneak attack. Do you understand?” Xiao Boru said, his eyes shining with crystalline wisdom as he looked seriously at Lin Lei.

Lin Lei had this kind of experience. When he was in Yan Siyu’s mental space, he maintained a so-called state of seeing but not taking it to heart, weakening the interference of his mental activity on Yan Siyu’s spirit. So what Xiao Boru asked him to do now should be a similar state to the so-called “acting naturally, with a heart as calm as water.”

Therefore, his eyes immediately became blank, hiding all the killing intent on his body, and he boarded the Sky Shuttle like a mechanical man, seemingly aimlessly.

Even so, looking at Lin Lei’s retreating figure, the worry in Xiao Boru’s eyes did not weaken in the slightest. A Saint is not a cabbage; wanting to kill one easily is easier said than done!

……

Saint Anthony’s residence was located in a secluded place on Montokas Star. At this time, this Archmage was receiving a Priest from the Holy City.

“Master Saint Anthony, your wounds have basically healed. Judging from the aura remaining on the wounds, the attacker was a pure Abyss Demon. But I heard you say that he could resist your Curse?”

This Priest was named Fario, and he was sent by the Holy City to handle the destruction event of Roland City. What he was most concerned about right now was the failure of Saint Anthony’s Curse.

Only he truly understood that the Curse was actually the sharpest weapon for powerful mages in the Main Plane against Demons, and it had never failed before. Now that a special case had appeared, did this represent a comprehensive evolution of Demons or just an individual phenomenon? Priest Fario had to figure it out.

“Actually, there were two Demons at the time. One was in a female form; she was obviously hit by my Curse and fell into a coma, presumably not long for this world. But that male Demon was not affected at all. My Curse hit him, I am sure of that! But he suppressed it in a corner of his body that I couldn’t control. This is the first time I’ve seen this situation. I hope it is just an individual phenomenon.”

Of course, Saint Anthony could also see the seriousness of it.

It was now exactly noon on Montokas Star. Outside, the sun was shining brightly, and golden sunlight poured down like a waterfall.

The sky was also as blue as if washed, without a single cloud. For late autumn, this was fine autumn weather.

But Saint Anthony felt that the sunlight outside was very pale. His residence, and any place within his sight, was filled with a gray aura.

Saint Anthony frowned, sensing everything around him very carefully, but he did not feel the slightest abnormality!

“What’s wrong? Master Saint Anthony. Your mood seems very bad?” The Archmage’s sudden silence made Fario feel that something was wrong.

After a long while, Saint Anthony finally relaxed his brows. He rubbed his forehead and said: “I don’t know why? My heart feels a bit depressed. This may be related to my injury. Sigh, I’m old. If it were back then, my arm should have been able to regenerate.”

Although his power became stronger and stronger with the passing of years, his body’s vitality could not fight against ruthless time. Saint Anthony, who was nearing his twilight years, had to admit he was old.

Priest Fario comforted him: “You don’t need to worry. Your power is enough to support you for another two hundred years. You will definitely comprehend the energy laws of the Seventh Dimension and thus rejuvenate.”

“I take your good words, my old friend. The Seventh Dimension of energy… it is truly an existence one dreams of…”

But just at this moment, a black shadow appeared in Saint Anthony’s eyes and was approaching at an unimaginable speed.

The speed was so fast that there was only enough time for Saint Anthony to prop up an Energy Shield. Just after this instant, a black long spear struck the shield that Saint Anthony had hurriedly set up.

At this time, the gale brought by the attacker finally arrived with a boom, stirring any objects around him into the wild air current.

This was exactly Lin Lei, who had quietly sneaked to a distance of less than a thousand meters from Saint Anthony. He successfully concealed his perception from Saint Anthony, and within the first moment of equipping the Crystallized Mecha, he burst out with a speed exceeding 8 times the speed of sound.

A distance of nearly a thousand meters was crossed by Lin Lei within 0.5 seconds. In this ultra-high-speed state, even the air turbulence following the Mecha was enough to act as a destroyer of everything!

At least Priest Fario, who was beside Saint Anthony, was cut all over his body by the air blades, dripping with blood. If he hadn’t activated his Energy Shield at the last moment, what awaited him would definitely have been the result of being cut by ten thousand blades!

Lin Lei assembled two Energy Binding Weapons into an extremely sharp long spear, just to pursue the maximum penetrating attack power.

Saint Anthony was incredibly horrified. At this critical moment of life and death, he could even see the black spear tip less than a foot away from his chest piercing through his Energy Shield layer by layer, bringing up circular energy ripples. And the other parts of the shield were also fluctuating like boiling water because they were resisting the violent air flow.

“The shield will be pierced!” This was Saint Anthony’s first reaction.

At the same time, he also saw the attacker clearly. A pure black, tall form filled with infinite power, fire-red eyes suffused with a bloody color, plus the black halo shrouding his body, this was the image of the legendary Flame Demon Monarch Fretaza!

No wonder it could resist the Curse, a realization rose in Saint Anthony’s heart.

These thoughts flashed through Saint Anthony’s mind like lightning. His left palm reflexively began to condense the energy for a counterattack. It was still a lightning attack, but the color was not white, but a pure chaotic purple. This was an attack condensed by the Third Energy Dimension: Chaos!

But everything ended here. Lin Lei exerted force with his whole body again. After his body’s Energy Level reached 30.0, the Crystallized Mecha’s instantaneous energy output upper limit for him also reached 8000 Energy Levels. Now, he concentrated all this power on the spear tip at one point, causing the entire black spear tip to actually burst out with golden thorns because of the overflowing energy!

The Energy Binding Weapon actually overloaded at this moment. At least at the position of the spear tip, the energy could no longer be bound, but chose to break through.

Saint Anthony’s Energy Shield shattered like an eggshell, turning into spots of light and disappearing into the air. His whole person was washed by the violent energy turbulence, and a hole the size of a football was immediately broken open in his chest. The attack he had mostly condensed in his hand dissipated instantly.

The whole process took less than 1 second!

A Saint had fallen!

The System’s information faithfully recorded this moment.

“Host Lin Lei independently killed a B-level Energy Controller. Battle rating S. Level 3 Strengthening permission increased. Current strengthening progress is 56/100.”

“The Energy Dimension entanglement attack within the Host’s body has lost its attack source and has been automatically lifted.”

Saint Anthony’s residence had already been blasted into ruins by the previous violent air flow. Lin Lei’s Demon Crystallized Mecha stood amidst these ruins, filled with an aura of destruction and doom.

“Demon, what have you done! God, this isn’t real, this isn’t real!” Priest Fario had just struggled out of the ruins. Covered in blood, he saw Saint Anthony’s broken body hanging on the weapon of this five-meter-tall Demon in front of him.

He could not accept this result. The fall of a Saint felt to him like the end of the world had arrived.

“Judgment! God, grant me power to judge this Demon!” The Priest raised his hands high and roared at the sky.

A golden brilliance revealed itself from between his hands, and a pure energy phantom quickly merged into the Priest’s body. Subsequently, this Priest’s eyes turned golden yellow, and the air was filled with nearly terrifying energy fluctuations.

Priest Fario (C-level Energy Controller, B-level Believer)

Height: 178CM

Weight: 70KG

Physical Energy Level: 11.0 Standard Energy Level

Comprehended Dimensions: Fourth Dimension: Order, Sixth Dimension: Creation.

Maximum Controllable Energy: 10000 Standard Energy Level

Maximum Instantaneous Control Energy: 1000 Standard Energy Level

Skill: Judgment: Summons a high-dimensional energy life form to possess the body by burning life force, gaining powerful combat ability.

Currently Possessing Creature: A Seraphim, a positive energy combat creature located in the Subspace composed of the Second Dimension: Aggregation; Fourth Dimension: Order; Sixth Dimension: Creation; Seventh Position: Law.

“System, provide combat data for the Seraphim!” Damn, I thought he was a minor character, I didn’t expect this guy to have a ultimate move!

Seraphim (Pure Energy Creature)

Total Energy: 50000 Standard Energy Level

Maximum Burst Attack: 10000 Standard Energy Level (After possession, it has Subspace suppression, reduced to 85%)

Maximum Number of Attacks: 4 times

The Seraphim is not a creature of the ordinary Material World. Each attack consumes its body energy. And it cannot commit suicide, so after the fourth attack, it will only detach from the possession.

In other words, Lin Lei only needed to survive the peak of his attacks, and he would have to obediently return to his energy Subspace.
