Chapter 1179 Feng’s Peculiar Pleasure <TOC> Chapter 1181 Lord Giallar
Translator: SumTLMan
As Night withdrew his gaze, the oppressive aura that had been weighing on everyone suddenly vanished into thin air!
Everyone was stunned momentarily, before erupting into a frenzy of excitement.
Mengke didn’t hesitate and charged towards Olucia, while Komodo lingered for a moment. It glanced back at the position of Angel, whom it had coveted. If it could awaken, its physical predicament could be resolved. And Angel now possessed the Source Fire, which could cure the aftereffects of ingesting the blood cocoon. Thus, targeting Angel could potentially maximize its gains.
However, after the oppressive aura lifted, Angel was pulled back by Fafnir and flew away into the void.
In other words, for Komodo to get to Angel, it would inevitably have to spend energy chasing. Even after catching up, it would have to face Fafnir. If it chose Angel, it would certainly lose the opportunity to gain the Source Fire from Olucia.
After considering this for a brief moment — a moment that didn’t even span a second in reality — Komodo, without hesitation, fell in line with Mengke’s pace, heading towards Olucia.
Komodo didn’t believe it could catch up with a fleeing Fafnir, and Olucia was defenseless at the moment. Hence, going after Olucia seemed like a more appropriate choice.
However, as Komodo dashed towards Olucia, its form abruptly halted.
Or to put it more accurately, at a certain moment, everyone froze in their tracks.
This included Mengke and Komodo, who were rushing towards Olucia, Fafnir flying into the void, and both humans and demons who regarded Angel with cold stares… At this moment, everything appeared to have stopped in time and space, every movement ceased, as if they were sculptures.
The reason was——
The previously receding oppressive aura abruptly returned!
Furthermore, this time the incoming aura was even more immense. Previously, while everyone was unable to move forward, they were still able to slightly move their limbs.
Now, aside from their minds still functioning, no one was able to perform any other action, even making a sound was difficult.
Mengke, who was immobilized once again, was first taken aback. Yet, within moments, his expression dramatically changed.
“Something’s not right, this oppressive aura is different from the previous one!” Not only had the intensity of the aura increased, but the nature of the aura was also completely opposite to the prior one.
The previous aura had a vibrant, fiery temperament. Perhaps it was because Lord Night was indifferent towards both humans and demons, hence the slight fiery characteristic. But Mengke could clearly sense that this fiery temperament was more of a calming nature. Yet, the present aura bore a chilling sensation, resembling countless snakes spying on you from the shadows with cold eyes.
Why would the oppressive aura be different?
Could it be, the pressure this time doesn’t emanate from Lord Night, but another… Demon Lord?!
A shock ran through Mengke’s heart, and his gaze darted toward the night.
He saw Lord Night in the sky, who was also looking towards a certain direction in the sky.
In that direction, a figure was faintly visible, tearing through the void, flying towards them!
At this moment, not just Mengke, everyone remembered the words spoken by Nythotep, she explicitly stated that she obstructed those from dealing with Olucia due to the ‘Orders of Giallar’. She also mentioned that the Lord Giallar was about to arrive in La Sutherland!
Could the one releasing this oppressive force be this Lord Giallar?!
Mengke’s expression turned grim, if it was really Lord Giallar, then things would get difficult. Currently, completely immobile, facing a Demon Lord who might be quite close to Olucia, their doom seems inevitable.
Mengke started preparing for the worst, considering ways to deal with it. Currently, he couldn’t move at all. Perhaps, only by utilizing the Word Spirits method and using the fluctuations to unlock that secret treasure?
In contrast to Mengke’s and other wizards’ grim expressions, the Servant of Fire, Tantin, and the Young Fire Demon, Greaves, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
While others were unsure about the identity of the newcomer, they had once met Lord Giallar, so they could clearly sense the aura of that noble in the oppressive force.
Lord Giallar’s arrival meant that Olucia should be safe. The hearts of Greaves and Tantin, which had been anxious, finally found peace.
However, it seemed they had put their minds at ease too soon.
No one could have imagined that as an unknown Demon Lord arrived in the sky, there was a change at the top of the Void Obelisk.
Boom——
A sudden explosive sound resounded in everyone’s ears!
Mengke was facing the Void Obelisk and could clearly see that the top of the Void Obelisk had suddenly exploded, creating a hole!
Before Mengke could react, Nythotep and Iadase in the distance had looks of shock in their eyes! The materials used to construct the Void Obelisk were personally selected and built by the Gazing Abyssal Eye, making it incredibly sturdy! Despite their intense battle outside earlier, they didn’t cause much damage to the tower. But now, a hole has been blasted in the Void Obelisk?!
Moreover, it seemed like it had been blasted open from the inside?
Following the explosion, a large amount of debris fell, like a landslide, and the top of the tower began to topple.
As everyone was wondering what was happening inside the Void Obelisk, a figure flashed across both Angel and Sanders’ minds. It seemed like the only one left inside the Void Obelisk now was Popoca?
Of course, Iuppiter, who was taken away by Iadase, might also be inside. However, given Iuppiter’s current state, it should not have enough power to break open the top of the tower. After all, Angel was able to hold its own against Iuppiter for quite some time.
Therefore, the only one Angel could think of was Popoca.
Moreover, Popoca was also one of the coveters of the Source Fire!
Soon, the majority of the tower’s pinnacle collapsed, revealing its internal situation. When Mengke observed closely, he discovered that the bizarre and grotesque otherworldly form was the instigator of all this!
This creature was festooned with yellow pus-filled bumps, and large and small spikes all over its body. The mere sight of these densely populated bumps and spikes could induce a wave of revulsion. Furthermore, green viscous fluid kept oozing from the creature’s skin pores, which upon landing on the floor, would first sizzle before a thick smoke started to billow.
Even from a distance, Mengke could faintly catch a whiff of the stench emanating from it.
While Mengke was still unsure about the identity of this otherworldly form, Iadase, Angel, and Sanders recognized it immediately.
“Indeed, it’s Popoca!” exclaimed Angel, his eyes wide in shock, as he had suspected that The Appearance of Popoca might become a variable. Now his guess had come true. But what confused him was how Popoca managed to damage the Void Obelisk when both Mengke and Fafnir were immobilized by the terrifying pressure exerted by the Demon Lord.
The same question was occupying the minds of everyone present.
When the dust from the crumbling Void Obelisk settled, everyone finally saw the cause.
Although the otherworldly creature seemed paralyzed by the overwhelming pressure, behind it, a terrifying spatial vortex was present. This vortex, squeezing the surrounding walls and ceiling, caused a large area of the tower’s top to collapse!
But what was the point of him doing this?
“Wait, he has caused a reverse opening of a teleportation formation! That vortex is a planar passage! How is it possible? The teleportation formation at the top of the tower has been destroyed!” Nythotep suddenly exclaimed.
Iadase answered Nythotep’s question.
“I had checked earlier. The teleportation formation at the top of the tower was indeed destroyed. This human is the intruder who destroyed La Sutherland’s master rune node. So, it’s likely he also destroyed the teleportation formation at the top of the tower. If he left a backdoor when he was causing the destruction, it’s possible that he is now activating it in reverse.”
Iadase’s words were heard by everyone.
However, the information was so startling that they were somewhat caught off guard. This creature, looking like an otherworldly, was actually a human according to Iadase?! Moreover, he was the one who triggered the cascading variables because of the collapse of La Sutherland?
Mengke was keen to ask about this creature, referred to as a “human”, who exactly was he?
However, before he could ask, his pupils suddenly shrunk and he yelled, “No, stop!”
Mengke’s shout drew everyone’s attention to the top of the tower.
Behind the otherworldly creature, the spatial vortex suddenly began to emit a pulling force… However, this pull was not very strong; it only managed to draw in objects close to the vortex.
For example, the otherworldly creature itself, the confused Young Fire Demon falling from the top of the tower, and——
The unconscious Olucia!
Mengke’s stern reprimand did nothing to halt the aberrant creature’s movements. Instead, it prompted a bizarre laugh from the creature, “Yihahahaha… Nothing can stop it. The Flame of Laudsourcians will burn till the end of time, and the glory of our clan will soon be restored!”
The Flame of Laudsourcians? Mengke was momentarily taken aback, as if he had just stumbled upon a revelation, “You’re a Laudsourcian?!”
However, his question was left unanswered.
Moreover, Mengke could only watch as Olucia and the creature, presumably a Laudsourcian, were slowly being pulled into a void vortex by a gravitational force emanating from behind them.
According to Nythotep, this spatial vortex was a passage, a passage for teleportation!
Once Olucia was gone, all their prior efforts would be in vain!
Grinding his teeth, Mengke realized that his only option at present was to resort to using the power of Word Spirits!
Furthermore, he had to figure out a way to deal with the impending arrival of an unknown Demon Lord from above. Activating his trump card through the power of Word Spirits was the sole strategy available to him.
“Use the Word Spirits!” cried Mengke aloud.
Word Spirits, in essence, were a means of activating spells, particularly within the Mysterious Resonance school of magic, that harnessed the power of sound to tap into the source of magic. They were not only capable of launching attacks on the target, but also served as an exceptional medium for casting curses.
At this point, everyone was immobilized under a massive oppressive force, leaving Word Spirits as the only feasible tool at their disposal!
Among the human camp, there were indeed a few sound wizards, like the one who had previously played the battle song for Winchester.
With the aid of these sound wizards, they should be able to momentarily break free from the suppressive force!
Mengke’s plan was solid, but alas, it ultimately failed.
He wasn’t even sure how his plan had crumbled to dust before it was even implemented.
