This was the first time they witnessed Paimon use his power to reverse erosion and purify filth!

It's also the first time Paimon uses her powers outside of this world!

The aura of rules contained in the golden magic circle shocked them, and the warm light seemed to dispel the burning and destructive feeling brought by the fire lake.

The three sons of Calydon - Caesar and Lucy were extremely shocked. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths opened unconsciously. Wright even took off his sunglasses.

Reverse the ether erosion? !

For those of them who have been living with the void for years and may be polluted and eroded by ether energy at any time, this is simply a mythical power!

The significance of this power is extremely important to the entire outer ring and to all those who are struggling to survive on the edge of the void!

Lucy subconsciously covered her mouth and swallowed the words that she wanted Caesar to use the flint to break the ether crystals in the fire lake immediately.

In her opinion, the sacred purification process before her could not be disturbed in the slightest.

She even breathed very lightly, fearing that any movement would lead to failure or even cause unpredictable disaster.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of the magic circle.

As the golden light flowed, a translucent silver wrench shadow slowly emerged above Pompey's head and slowly rotated.

As the shadow rotated, golden sparks would occasionally burst out, like the sparks flying when forging impurities.

The process of removing etheric erosion has officially begun.

Surprisingly, the process seemed to go smoother than expected.

The ominous purple-black veins under Pompeii's skin were visibly fading away, and his skin had returned to a near-normal color.

What was even more exciting was that the tiny ether crystals on his body began to melt and disintegrate bit by bit, like ice and snow under the sun, and eventually turned into wisps of pure purple ether energy, slowly dissipating into the air!

"It really works!" Sanyueqi couldn't help but cheer a little, and then immediately covered his mouth.

However, just when everyone thought everything was going well, something unexpected happened!

In the dissipated purple ether energy, there was actually a trace of dark air that was even deeper, stickier, and more heart-pounding!

This black air carries a smell of decay, which is incompatible with the pure ether energy!

"What is that?" Xing frowned and tightened the flame spear in his hand.

Ying gripped her sword tighter, leaning forward slightly, ready to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

Paimon, who was hiding behind Ying, quickly summoned a second wrench, ready to hit Pompey again if anything unexpected happened.

The appearance of this black gas showed that Pompey's body was not only corroded by the ether, but he was also probably secretly poisoned by Lucius with some kind of sinister chronic poison!

This poison has long been deeply rooted. Even if there had not been a severe erosion caused by the rich ether energy this time, Pompey would definitely not have been able to hold on for much longer!

It was this internal and external attack that accelerated his collapse.

Fortunately, this only looked scary, and the wrench shadow above Pompey's head slowly started to rotate faster.

The golden sparks that burst out also began to become denser, as if a fierce invisible confrontation was taking place inside Pompey's body.

Chapter 36 It’s time to use surprise tactics!

The entire purification process lasted nearly three minutes, which seemed particularly long in the tense atmosphere.

Finally, when the last wisp of black air was completely refined by the golden magic circle and dissipated without a trace, the last bit of ether crystal on Pompey's body also completely disappeared.

The solemn golden magic circle and the huge wrench shadow seemed to have completed their mission. The light gradually converged and dimmed, and finally turned into specks of light and dissipated in the scorching air.

thump.

Pompey, who lost the support of the magic circle, became limp and fell completely to the ground.

The entire fire lake space fell into dead silence.

There was only the gurgling sound of surging magma and the occasional metallic groan of pipes.

Everyone was still immersed in the shocking and life-and-death-reversal scene, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Paimon breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead.

She looked around and found that everyone was stunned, as if they were under a spell.

He couldn't help but puff up his cheeks in dissatisfaction, flew in front of the crowd, and put his hands on his hips: "Hey, hey, hey! Shouldn't you guys be praising me for being awesome now? I actually brought him back from the brink of death!"

There was a hint of pride in her words, as if she was seeking credit, and an eagerness to "praise me quickly."

These childish words, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly broke the almost frozen air.

"This... this is simply..." Caesar muttered, his eyes still wide open, as if he had not yet fully recovered from the miraculous scene of reversing his transformation into a skeleton.

She looked at Pompey, whose breathing was weak but almost steady on the ground and whose body no longer had any signs of corrosion, and felt like she was dreaming.

Others also woke up from a dream.

Ying quickly sheathed her sword and swiftly pulled out a bottle of alchemical potion emitting a soft emerald green light from her backpack.

This was the emergency medicine that Nata had specially prepared before her trip. It contained powerful life energy and could quickly replenish physical strength and restore vitality.

Ying squatted down, carefully lifted Pompey's head, put the mouth of the potion bottle close to his lips, and slowly poured it in.

She knew very well that although Paimon's "optimization" had eliminated the erosion and toxins, Pompey's body had long been hollowed out and was extremely weak at the moment. He had to replenish his energy immediately, otherwise his life would still be in danger.

At this moment, Lucy suddenly shuddered and woke up from the huge shock!

She remembered the imminent and almost forgotten crisis!

"Caesar! Where's the flint?!" Lucy's voice was sharp and urgent, pointing to the burning crystal fire lake that was constantly being eroded by the strange ether crystals.

"The Fire Lake! The Fire Lake is almost completely filled with ether crystals! If we don't take action now, it will be too late!"

Caesar was completely brought back to reality by Lucy's shout, and his face turned pale instantly, "Oh no! Lake of fire!"

She fumbled around her body in a panic and finally took out the crucial flint, which symbolized victory and responsibility.

"Quick! To the lake of fire!"

Everyone immediately realized the urgency of the situation and rushed towards the edge of the lake of fire without saying anything more.

However, the scene before them made everyone's heart sink to the bottom.

The lake surface that should have been churning with destructive high-temperature magma was now mostly covered by huge, dark purple ether crystals that continued to spread and grow!

Those crystals were like greedy ice sheets, devouring the last orange-red area near the center of the lake, which was still stubbornly surging, at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The temperature of the entire space seemed to drop a few degrees because the fire lake was "frozen", and the air was filled with an unsettling smell of sulfur.

Sanyueqi looked at the distant center of the lake, his face bitter. "I'm afraid I'll have to fly over now! It's so far away, and the middle is all crystals, there's no way I can get through!"

Caesar's gaze was fixed on the only remaining flame that represented the lifeline of the Outer Ring, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, she turned around and strode towards her motorcycle, flipped over and sat on it, holding the flint tightly in her left hand!

"Time is running out!"

Caesar's voice was firm and resolute, with a determination to burn all bridges. "I'll do it! I must throw the flint in!"

The engine roared instantly, and she was about to rush towards the seemingly dead end of the crystalline lake - even if she knew it was like a moth flying into a flame, she would use her life to fight for a glimmer of hope for the outer ring!

"Wait!" A calm voice sounded, and Dan Heng's figure appeared in front of Caesar's motorcycle like a ghost. One hand pressed firmly on the handlebar, and the powerful force abruptly prevented the motorcycle from starting.

Caesar was so anxious that she almost jumped up: "Brother Danheng! There is almost no time! I must go! Let go!" Her eyes were full of confusion and anxiety.

Dan Heng's gaze passed over Caesar and turned to Xing, who was still stunned by the purification scene. "Xing! Stop being dazed! Take out your bamboo dragonfly! Quick!"

"Ah? Bamboo dragonfly?" Xing was suddenly called out by Dan Heng. He didn't react for a moment and repeated the sentence subconsciously.

But she had absolute trust in Dan Heng. Although she didn't understand his intention, she thought about it without hesitation - the small, green bamboo dragonfly prop instantly appeared in her hand.

Dan Heng grabbed the bamboo helicopter and placed it on Caesar's head with swift and precise movements.

Caesar and the rest of the Calydonians were stunned.

Lucy and Light stared with wide eyes, completely confused as to why Dan Heng stopped Caesar in this critical moment of life and death just to put a... toy on her?

Even a few words of encouragement or farewell would be better than this!

"Brother Danheng, what are you doing..." Caesar's voice was full of confusion and anxiety.

"Concentrate!" Danheng's voice was undeniably penetrating, and he looked directly into Caesar's eyes. "Think about where you want to fly! Fly to the center of the lake of fire! Now! Think quickly!"

Although he found it unbelievable, Dan Heng's serious and determined look made Caesar subconsciously do as he was told.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and focused all her thoughts on the small bamboo dragonfly above her head - "Take me to the center of the fire lake! Take me to the center of the fire lake!"

hum-

As everyone watched in astonishment, the small bamboo dragonfly above Caesar's head actually began to spin at high speed, making a slight buzzing sound!

Then, an even more unbelievable scene happened!

Caesar's body was actually lifted up slowly and steadily by the bamboo dragonfly!

"Fly...fly?!" Wright exclaimed in surprise, not even noticing that his sunglasses fell to the ground.

"Oh my God..." Lucy covered her mouth, her eyes wide as copper bells. This completely overturned her cognition.

Realizing that everyone was surprised by his props this time, Xing also stood up, waved his hand forward, and said in a slightly serious tone: "Ahem~ Time to use the surprise attack!"

Then he returned to his usual unremarkable self.

"Finally, I got the chance to say Jingyuan's lines. It's really cool!"

Chapter 37 Oh! We meet again!

Light and Lucy stared at the scene in shock. Since arriving at the Lake of Fire, their shock had hardly ceased.

I can only sigh, "As expected of the legendary rope maker Phaethon!"

Not only is he very familiar with the void, he also has such powerful connections, and the skills these connections possess are far beyond people's imagination.

It’s just that this star’s mental state is hard to fathom.

Caesar herself was also shocked beyond words. She could feel the ground beneath her feet losing its solidity.

My heart was pounding as I watched the shrinking figures of my companions below, and the huge lake of fire approaching in front of me.

But she immediately suppressed her turbulent emotions, and Dan Heng's words were engraved in her mind like a brand: "I must concentrate! I must fly to the center of the lake of fire!"

She no longer hesitated, her mind firmly directed towards the last area of ​​the orange-red surge.

The bamboo dragonfly seemed to be spinning even faster, carrying Caesar steadily and swiftly towards the center of the fire lake at a speed far exceeding running!

Everyone's heart was in their throat, and their eyes were closely following the tiny figure with a bamboo dragonfly in the distant sky.

Time seemed to be stretched out, and every second was filled with torment.

Caesar flew over the vast expanse of dark purple ether crystals below. The rich ether energy emanating from the cold crystals seemed within reach. This journey was like dancing on the edge of a knife!

Finally, she arrived above the target area!

It's now!

Caesar used all his strength, aimed at the center of the churning magma below, and threw the flint in his hand down hard!

The stone carrying hope drew a short arc in the air and sank precisely into the hot magma!

Boom-! ! ! !

As if a sleeping giant beast had been awakened, the entire Burning Crystal Lake shook violently!

Immediately afterwards, huge pillars of extremely thick orange-red magma, carrying destructive energy, like angry fire dragons, shot up violently into the sky from the place where Caesar had just thrown the flint!

The scorching heat instantly distorted the air above, and a deafening roar swept the entire space!

"Success!" Lucy and Wright shouted excitedly on the ground.

However, the joy only lasted for a moment!

The sudden and close-up explosion of terror, accompanied by a deafening roar and violent air waves, caused Caesar, who was suspended in the air, to lose his balance in an instant!

She shook violently in the air, and the bamboo dragonfly above her head also let out a scream, unable to bear the weight!

Then, under the violent energy impact, it shattered with a "pop"!
