Versatile Mage: Unlimited Swordplay, Deconstructing Everything!

Chapter 217 The Last and First Duke—Pure White

Vam raised his hands high. He could feel that the reason his power could not flow was because of the short blade pressed against his chest, piercing his skin and gleaming with a dim rainbow light, like a snake's forked tongue.

Whenever he needed to mobilize his power, a strange force would flow from the snake-tongue dagger and penetrate deep into his body.

Like a venomous snake tightly coiled around another snake, it was staring intently at him.

"If they have this power, why didn't they just kill us from the start?"

"Have you ever seen Ultraman start by shooting out beams of light?"

Wam was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, but he suddenly noticed that as the sea current swelled, many white hairs were faintly visible beneath Lin Ling's jet-black hair.

He remembered Lin Ling was only in her early twenties, how could she have so much gray hair, and it was even increasing?
"I see. This force that's suppressing us comes at a high price. Was it worth it?"

"Now that everything is gone, what future is there to talk about? Tell me the position of the Pope, and this farce should end."

"How could I possibly tell you about the Pope's position? Why can't I tell you? Why am I so attached to that person?"

As Vam spoke, his expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

His once determined gaze suddenly turned somewhat confused and puzzled, as if he were recalling a question that he used to understand but now found himself puzzled.

Lin Ling took in this change in expression.

It wasn't acting; it was a genuine expression of emotion.

“You realize the incongruity, don’t you, Vam?” Princess Silverscale, bound tightly by the Chains of Heaven, suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing the word "incongruity," Vahm's confusion deepened.

"Aren't you suddenly wondering why you're so loyal to the Pope, even to the point of sacrificing your life for him?" Princess Silverscale continued.

"That's because he gave it to us!"

Boom! ! !
Without warning, Princess Silverscale's head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.

Minced meat mixed with blue blood drifted away with the ocean current.

Having lost its life force, the Lock of Heaven quietly loosened, allowing the headless corpse to fall.

Lin Ling & Wam: !!!
The two never expected that Silverscale, one of the Seven Dukes, would die so suddenly.

"Was it that horribly shaped short blade that interrupted my brother's magic? How strange."

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang in their ears. The seawater inside the altar ruins was pushed out of the altar by an invisible force, no longer flowing into the interior, allowing this altar, which had been submerged in the deep sea for many years, to be exposed to dryness for the first time.

Wearing a white dress, a silver-haired girl, like an elf, leaped out of the void.

It was as if she had always been standing there, and now she had simply taken a step forward and stepped out.

Short blade?

Lin Ling looked at the Myriad Talismans of Immunity in his hand; this treasure could nullify the execution of magic.

Although the effect is very powerful, he rarely uses it in his daily life.

After all, blasting it to smithereens with magic would solve the problem.

What did she mean by interrupting magic?
A flash of inspiration struck Lin Ling, and combining Ding Yumin's changes with Wam's transformation, he instantly understood.

It's a "personality change"!
The magic the pope used on Ding Yumin and these dukes altered their original personalities.

No matter how much one's personality changes, it is still oneself, which is why one doesn't feel any sense of incongruity in daily life.

Because it was subconsciously ignored by the altered personality.

When Vaam was affected by the power of the broken Statue of Wisdom, his original personality briefly reappeared. The normal defense mechanism immediately detected a large number of previously overlooked bugs.

This will naturally make one's original personality feel suddenly out of place.

Because the memories of what happened afterward, from the perspective of the original personality, are like being a long-term demon.

Even though the person in his dream was himself, he never felt normal about that identical face; instead, it revealed something eerie about him.

However, the effect of the Mantra of Breaking the Rules should be temporary. If he removes the dagger now, Vaam will be taken over by the altered personality again.

"You are... Pure White? So the rumors about the Pope's ghost were true, the seventh duke who never appeared."

When Vam saw the silver-haired girl appear, he suddenly remembered the rumors circulating in the Vatican.

The Pope's shadow, and also the Pope's most trusted figure.

It never appeared, it was never witnessed.

The seventh duke, and also the first duke.

"Don't move, Lin Ling."

Lin Ling was about to summon the Abyss Ancient Dragon to seize the initiative and suppress the silver-haired girl.

But as if his thoughts had been read, the moment the idea crossed his mind, Chunbai interrupted him with her voice.

"Lin Ling, if you don't want your child to be safe, don't do anything rash."

As soon as Chunbai finished speaking, Wam suddenly felt a dramatic change in Lin Ling's aura, as if the shackles at the bottom of the abyss had been broken, and some ancient, dormant evil spirit was awakening beneath the dragon's scales.

The air began to groan under the unbearable pressure, and the invisible oppression distorted even the faint light of the deep sea.

Vamu felt a stinging sensation on his skin, as if he were standing on the crater of a volcano about to erupt, his breath frozen in the stagnant space.

The flowing ocean currents were now strangely frozen in the deep sea, appearing like countless swimming dragons, as if time itself in the entire region was being shaken by this aura.

"Say that again if you dare."

Chunbai didn't understand what kind of gaze that was, but she could sense that if she repeated what she had just said, the man named Lin Ling in front of her would tear her apart like a wild beast and drink her blood raw.

"Queen of the Nine Netherworlds, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Pure White seemed unaware of fear, and spoke with a smile.

But when the words "Queen of the Nine Netherworlds" were uttered, Lin Ling's eyes widened in surprise, and the next second, he seemed to have thought of something.

"You deliberately allowed the Mu family to obtain the body of the Nine Netherworld Queen?!" Lin Ling roared.

Empress Jiuyou was very cautious in her actions, which was completely opposite to her usual personality.

Moreover, she was once an empress, so it's impossible that her imperial tomb could be discovered so easily.

After regaining her body, Jiuyou recalled those lost memories.

Her body should have been buried under a phoenix tree deep in the Kunlun Mountains of the Dragon Kingdom.

That place is a land of vitality, the opposite of the deathly symbolism of the ancient capital. Only in such a place, blessed by the heavens, can the physical body maintain its vitality over thousands of years.

Deep within the Kunlun Mountains of the Dragon Kingdom lies an ancient demon empire, arguably the biggest time bomb inhabiting the land of the Dragon Kingdom.

Once the Kunlun Demon Empire erupts in rebellion, nearby cities will not even have a chance to wait for rescue.

Therefore, the Mu family would never risk venturing into such a forbidden place, let alone discover the location of the Nine Netherworld Empress's imperial tomb!
