Chapter 750 Imitation of Eternal Darkness

A black sun suddenly appeared in the sky.

But that was not the sun. A celestial body full of light and heat could not possibly appear black in this world. Moreover, this thing was significantly different in size from the sun.

It was a "black hole" that appeared out of thin air, only the size of a wheel.

The center of the cave is pitch black, seemingly capable of swallowing all colors, while the edges are irregularly shaped and shimmer with a mysterious, faint blue light, as if drawn by some inexplicable force, barely maintaining their circular shape.

This thing somehow feels very fitting for an environment of "night".

It was as if anything that got close to it would be pulled into a black void!

"!"

Anlessie suddenly retreated in mid-air, her eyes fixed on the thing, and the light membrane covering her entire body seemed to flicker.

She felt an unprecedented sense of threat from this magic called [Imitation of Eternal Darkness]. Wait, this should be magic, right?
But she couldn't leave at this moment, because
Her body emitted an even stronger light than before, and a halo of holy light suddenly formed behind her. The next moment, the halo trembled violently and instantly shot into the sky, turning into countless light bullets!
Its density was so great that it would plow the entire town of Hypa twice over after it fell!
This is the attack magic that Anlessie has been accumulating since her transformation. In a game, it would be considered one of her ultimate moves, usually used on the front lines. However, it was used in this kind of skirmish, which is a first for her.

She simply called this move "Holy Light Cleansing," and once she started preparing to release it, it couldn't be canceled—mainly because the magic power consumed for it couldn't be recovered after interruption, making it too costly to interrupt the release.

In the past, this move could almost change the course of the battlefield, and she would feel as refreshed as if she had put on new underwear to welcome the New Year.

However, after this move was made today, Anlessie had a bad feeling, a very bad feeling.

"Could it be because of that black hole?"

She didn't know exactly what it was, but since it was something the Church of Starfire had taken out, it must have been dug out from the Sien Dungeon, there was no doubt about it.

When dealing with this kind of thing, never think about taking any shortcuts. Just go all out from the start and don't give it a chance to breathe!

Thinking this, Anlessie manipulated the light orbs that had illuminated the sky like daytime, turning them around and aiming them at the unfamiliar Starfire Knight.

Judging from the special effects alone, it looked like a miniature Elden meteor shower of light projectiles raining down on the Starfire Knight!
If you attack in this way, even the Twisted Light Barrier is unlikely to be effective, since there are just too many light projectiles. Starfire Knight isn't a Radagan with super-fast hand speed, so how could he possibly deflect them all?

Even so, Anlessie was still a little uneasy, her eyes fixed on the spot where the barrage of light bullets was falling.

As they drew closer, the light projectiles hurtled straight toward the Starfire Knight, and everything seemed normal.

Just a little closer, just a little closer, and we can go directly—

Just then, the light bullet flying at the forefront suddenly trembled, and then this trembling spread to more and more rearwards as if it were contagious, and more and more light bullets began to tremble!

As if sensing something, Anlessie suddenly increased her control over the light bullet!
However, this attempt was futile.

"My magic is out of my control!?"

More and more light projectiles began to tremble, and then, drawn by an irresistible force, they all flew in a certain direction!

All the light orbs and all the holy light were attracted!

And the place they flew towards was that black hole, that [simulated ancient darkness]!
[Magic: Imitation of Ancient Darkness]

【Eternal Darkness is a forbidden magic of the magic town of Seria. It can create darkness, attract all magic and prayers, and turn them into nothingness】

[It is the lost magic of the Eternal City—and the despair that led to its destruction.]

This item is a product of the latter's attempt to imitate, and it still has some flaws.

The commotion attracted a lot of attention. Many people forgot about fighting the enemy and looked towards Anlessie, wondering what kind of enemy could have caused such a fuss.

The instant the light blast made contact with the black hole, some people closed their eyes in fear, shrinking back in fear of a violent explosion.

However, no sound was produced.

The next moment, gasps of surprise rose and fell from the crowd. Those who had closed their eyes cautiously opened them, only to witness a scene that left them in disbelief.

The dazzling holy light missiles plunged into the black hole one after another.

Then, it disappeared.

A massive torrent of light projectiles rushed into the black hole and then vanished without a trace. Even when Anlessie tried her best to pull them back, it was to no avail. The simulated ancient darkness generated a powerful attraction, absorbing all of these light projectiles!

In the blink of an eye, the entire town of Hypa returned to the control of night, and the holy light vanished without a trace.

".ah?"

Anlessie was silent for a moment before opening her mouth wide and letting out a sound full of question marks.

Gone?

My massive floor-cleansing bullet, capable of ploughing up Hypa Town several times over, just vanished like that.
No! This thing is supposed to attract and dispel magic!

An Leisi snapped out of her shock and immediately accepted the ancient darkness she had imagined. In that instant, the light membrane covering her body disappeared completely, and she returned to normal.

Because no matter how powerful she becomes, she can't possibly overcome the eternal darkness with magic, and she doesn't know if this thing will suffer backlash after absorbing magic, or if it will have some other effects. It's best to return to normal and store energy as soon as possible.

Before the storm in her mind had even died down, she saw the black hole in mid-air disappear.

It seems like the time limit has been reached.

"Eh?"

Seeing this scene, she was stunned for a moment. How could a black hole exist for such a short time?

However, it appeared just in time to absorb my ultimate move, which required a long cooldown before I could unleash it again?
It was that Hervey guy's doing again!

Only that guy could know Anlessie and the others' moves so clearly and predict their rhythm!

Oh no, this is exactly the period when her combat power is at a low point, she's going to be in trouble from now on!
"Hehehe"

Herve's laughter came from somewhere, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to order Anlessie to be captured alive; he seemed to be waiting for something.

Sure enough, a second later, Anlessie suddenly seemed to have been attacked from the shadows, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Caius appeared on the ground and caught her as she fell. At the same time, the young man's aura suddenly surged.

"Just as I thought, it turns out that the two of you have a relationship based on your abilities."

Hervé said with satisfaction, "I couldn't be sure before, but now I've finally seized the opportunity to see it clearly."

Caius remained silent, holding Anlessie in one arm and gripping his katana tightly in the other. The resulting storm of sword energy instantly blew away the people who had surrounded him.

His strength had reached a new level; these ordinary soldiers could not stop him, and the Starfire Knights could hardly catch him.

This massive army seems perfectly suited to fight him now, and if the battle drags on, it's uncertain who will emerge victorious as his strength increases.

However, Caius seems to be thinking about breaking out and retreating, and has no intention of fighting.

Outside Hypa Town, inside an invisible outpost monitoring the battle, Hervé clapped his hands and said:

"As expected, these people couldn't keep him here, but the goal was achieved, so the result is not bad."

"Continue to besiege him and weaken him as much as possible. When he gets angry and really fights, retreat and let him go. Although we can't hold him back, we can still inflict some injuries on him."

As he spoke, he stopped paying attention to what was happening here, took out a letter, and muttered to himself:
"My next task is to lead a group to scavenge as many supplies as possible from Sien."
