Wizard Immortal

Chapter 746 The Face of the Deceiver

"Another crazy person who thinks he's so great..."

Adir looked at Doron standing there in front of him, and this thought came to mind.

A madman usually doesn't think he's mad.

Sometimes you might say they're crazy, but they might actually think they're perfectly fine.

The boy in front of me, Duolong, seems to be showing this tendency.

In Adir's eyes, all of this was just self-deception.

Some people believe that people are inherently in many states, and that these states vary under different circumstances.

Just like when you're drunk and acting crazy, it's certainly different from your usual state, but does that mean you're mentally unstable?

The same goes for what is called madness.

To them, what others see as madness might simply be their true nature, and nothing to worry about at all.

But for Adir, this meant that his true spirit was being gradually corrupted without his knowledge.

Every action a mortal takes is influenced by both their soul and body.

In layman's terms, it's the combined effect of reason and emotion.

The reason why people do things they wouldn't normally do when they're drunk is because their physical body is affected, its nature changes, and this affects their overall behavior.

However, the effects of alcohol are only temporary. Once the alcohol evaporates and the body recovers, the body will return to its previous state.

For extraordinary individuals, their own true spirit is the sole factor determining their behavior patterns.

Only when your true spirit is pure and unaffected by any power can you truly call yourself.

Otherwise, they are nothing more than puppets controlled by various forces.

The present-day Duolong is a perfect example.

In Adir's view, the other party's true spirit had long been affected by the power of the God of Slaughter, and had been completely corrupted from head to toe. He didn't even care that his personality had become crazy, and even enjoyed this state.

They had already become puppets of the killing power, but they themselves did not seem to realize the severity of this influence, and even thought that their own state was quite good.

At least in this state, they won't think too much; they'll just indulge in killing and the pleasure that killing brings them.

This is something that would not be possible for them under normal circumstances.

Thinking of this, Adir slowly shook his head, no longer saying anything to the other party, but silently raising the silver longsword in his hand and aiming it at the other party.

There's no point in talking to someone who doesn't understand you. It's better to just take action than to waste time talking to a madman.

If you can take action, don't just talk the talk.

"You want to fight me, is that it...?"

Watching Adir's actions, Doron smiled, a smile that looked somewhat bloody, strange, and excited.

Influenced by the blood of slaughter within them, the children of slaughter are a group of beings who love killing and fighting.

Duolong, seeing a powerful figure wielding a sword at him, was not surprised. His blood began to boil.

"To be honest, I'd really like to fight you..."

A smile appeared on his face as he gazed longingly at Adir before him: "Unfortunately, I can't beat you right now..."

"I saw the previous battle; I'm no match for you now..."

He waved his hand, seemingly quite self-aware: "So let's postpone this battle."

"I will come back to you when I have greater power..."

"The scent of the blood within you must be incredibly alluring..."

He licked his lips, looking longing, as if he were imagining some wonderful scene; his face was filled with anticipation at this moment.

boom!

A crisp sound rang out from the spot.

Adir remained calm, saying nothing to Dorondo before him, and with a single effort, a silver longsword shot out from the air.

A silver sword aura slashed down, spreading across the area before them. In an instant, it seemed as if the entire space had been cleaved open, with cracks of space surging forward.

The sheer power of this single sword strike fully revealed Adir's true strength, and its unleashing was absolutely astonishing.

A terrifying power roared, and at this moment, the boundless battle aura condensed in mid-air, transforming into countless silver longswords that slashed continuously towards Duolong in front of him.

At the same time, a powerful domain silently unfolded, and a vast amount of true spiritual power surged forward, about to completely overwhelm Duolong in an instant and suppress him here.

To this, Doron maintained a smile on his face, unchanged from beginning to end, remaining the same as before.

Faced with this attack, he didn't speak, nor did he show any intention of responding. He simply silently tossed something out of his pocket.

It was a very unique mask, which appeared to be cast in bronze and had a clown figure carved on it, making it look somewhat comical.

A faint divine power emanated from the mask, surprising everyone present.

"That is..."

Looking at the black mask behind Adir, Kudoni's face showed surprise: "The Mask of the God of Deception!!"

The Mask of the God of Deception is a very famous artifact belonging to the legendary God of Deception.

According to legend, this mask possesses a very strange power, enabling the wearer to do all sorts of incredible and bizarre things.

The next moment, a faint glow emanated from the black mask.

A mysterious light shone forth upon it, and in the next moment, according to Adir's perception, everything around him changed.

The space before my eyes began to invert, up, down, left, and right became disordered, and all concepts before my eyes were transformed into something else.

The sword energy that was supposed to be slashing forward might suddenly appear behind you the next moment, unpredictable, filled with a sense of chaos, as if anything could happen.

The silver sword, which was clearly aimed at Dorron, inexplicably ended up slashing at the infant in Hilna's arms—a being who had been reincarnated from a god of darkness.

Adir was startled and, suppressing the surging life energy within him, forcefully withdrew the sword he had already thrust out.

The sword that was supposed to be thrust out was forcibly withdrawn. In that instant, Adir's blood began to boil, and various forces began to surge wildly within his body.

Once Adir had calmed the surging power within him, Doron's figure had completely disappeared.

Judging from this, it seems they have already left.

"Doron..."

Adir's expression was calm, but at this moment it revealed a hint of coldness. He silently turned around and looked at Mar beside him, his eyes filled with a question.

Mar instantly understood Adir's meaning, and silently shook her head: "No..."

"He was wearing that mask of deception, and with that divine artifact as cover, I couldn't find his location..."

Her face was somewhat pale, clearly indicating that she had just tried to trace back the source, but ultimately had no results.

So Adir shook his head, gave up the idea, and then looked at Kudor beside him.

At this moment, as the battle below changed, the two divine artifacts also ended their clash in the void.

The Dark Eye and the Sun Artifact descended, each flying into the hands of Kudoni and the two Sun Priests.

The once brilliant light on the two artifacts has gradually dimmed, as if they have consumed too much power and have fallen into silence.

The silence of the two divine artifacts also signifies the end of this battle.

The Church of Darkness successfully preserved the reincarnation of the Lord of Darkness, but the Church of the Sun suffered heavy losses this time.

In order to seize the reincarnation of the Lord of Darkness, the Church of the Sun King mobilized more than a dozen high priests who were close to legendary priests, as well as a priest at the peak of legendary status.

But now, apart from the two priests who were saved by Adir, everyone else has been killed by Doron.

Things have developed to this point, which is clearly beyond everyone's expectations.

"We have decided to leave with the reincarnation of our Lord and go to hide elsewhere until our Lord has successfully grown up..."

Before him, Kudoni took the baby from Hilna's arms, his face solemn. At this moment, he looked at Adir and solemnly thanked him, saying, "On behalf of the entire Dark Church and my Lord, I thank you for your help."

"If it weren't for you this time, the entire Dark Church would have been in dire straits..."

As his words fell, behind Kudoni, Hilna and the other Summoners bowed and gave Adir the most solemn salute.

They should indeed thank Adir.

If it weren't for Adir, a knight who was close to the pinnacle of the mythological realm, they probably wouldn't have been able to stop the Sun King's priest, let alone the appearance of Doron later.

In a sense, Adir's intervention this time can be considered a saving of the entire Dark Church.

There is also the reincarnation of the Lord of Darkness.

For the Lord of Darkness, its significance is self-evident.

"It's okay..."

Adir shook his head and said, "I promised to help you decades ago. I'm just fulfilling that promise. It's nothing."

He spoke calmly.

On the other side, as if hearing his words, the baby in Kudoni's arms opened its eyes, its golden eyes looking at Adir before it, and nodded to him, as if in gratitude.

Although it had just been born, as the reincarnation of the Lord of Darkness, this infant undoubtedly possessed a strong spirituality. At this moment, although it had not yet fully recovered its will as a god, it also possessed powerful instincts and understood the situation before it.

"I have a request..."

Kudoni gazed at the reincarnation of the Dark Lord in his arms, then at Adir before him, and finally took a deep breath, making a decision.
