The moment he took the scorched black flag at the top of Corpse Mountain into his eyes, Helene felt that his body no longer belonged to him again. Something seemed to be breaking out of his body between his eyebrows, and there was a tingling pain in his neck, as if his head was being pulled up by invisible hands.
Not only her, because the special Mirror World was eroded and conquered by the flames and fell back to Physical World, a similar situation happened to Lisa and Gusin that landed on the top of the mountain.
From the corner of Helene's eyes, he noticed that Gusin had raised his hands to hold his head to suppress it trying to leave the body. He didn't even bother to cover his neck where blood was constantly spurting out and the muscles and skin were completely torn.; Lisa's impact point was slightly further away from "Salinger’s Blood Banner", so it was less affected, but its neck and limbs also became stiff, without the momentum of Mirror World giving orders and commanding the meteorite.
Compared to Gusin, Helene, who is closest to the focus black flag, can still maintain a certain self, which makes her wonder whether she has received extra favor from Sealed Artifact.
No, it should be that I read the knowledge about it in advance and have been polluted accordingly. Now the "newly added" pollution level is even lower. The other two people also know some of the information about "0-01". Otherwise, they would have become its puppets as soon as they landed on the top of the mountain...
Thoughts were flowing in Helene's mind. He tried his best to move his neck, which was a little loose and had cracks in the skin. He turned his head and looked at Salinger’s Blood Banner. Only then did he feel that the force that was about to leave his head had weakened.
Good opportunity, the top of this Corpse Mountain seems not to be affected by the taboo of "blindfolded, with light", I can solve two big troubles in one fell swoop before they break free from the control of this power... Helene just locked his eyes and stared blankly at Lisa, who was looking at the flag. Before Flame Spear could be condensed in his hand, I felt a deep and quiet power coming from above my head.
It comes from the ground above the ceiling, penetrates the thick soil layer and blocks the sight, like the fog of Vortex, accurately falls on the surface of the charred flag of "0-01", condensing into an impenetrable darkness.
At that moment, even the invisible flames around them were dimmed, and the blood-stained traces on the charred flags seemed to merge into the deep darkness. The power controlling Helene, Lisa, and Gusin immediately weakened, causing them to go from extreme nervousness and panic to drowsiness, wanting to enter a beautiful and peaceful dreamland.
It's... "Darkness" Pathway... Helene If you have some understanding, you can guess that the Church Square above your head may have changed something, affecting "0-01" below who is trying to break free from the seal, suppressing its power.
The advantage of the change is that she will not face the threat of "body and head separation" or becoming a puppet for the time being. The disadvantage of course is that the other two competitors also broke free from the pollution and regained their ability to move.
Gusin pressed the bloody neck tightly and turned his head, which was his own again. His eyes swept over Helene and Lisa, and he immediately summoned him from the bottom of his heart. He had been "connected" to him before, but he was isolated from. Soldier puppets other than Special Mirror World, Corpse Mountain heard dull footsteps below, followed by the sound of climbing the mountain. Within a few seconds, five steel puppets with a height of two meters, holding Greatsword heavy hammer spears, climbed up the mountain and joined the battle.
I thought he had been abandoned by "Great Existence" after his prayer just now was not answered. I didn't expect that the power to control the puppets was still in his body... Helene looked in surprise. His eyes met Gusin's eyes full of hatred and unyielding, and he guessed what the other party was thinking:
He wants to obtain the power of Sealed Artifact and prove to the "great God of War" that the other party who abandoned him is a Error.
But before that...
The two nodded imperceptibly, and then looked at Demoness Lisa who had recovered from his sluggish state because "0-01" was temporarily suppressed.
There is no doubt that she, who just summoned meteorites to attack them and has the qualification of "Divine Descent Vessel", is the biggest threat at the moment.
The two Hunter silently formed a short-lived anti-Demoness alliance.
Bang bang bang——
Except for a soldier holding Greatsword who was still protecting Gusin, the remaining four took steps and rushed towards Lisa, stepping on the blackened bones and rotting corpses that had been piled up here many years ago. Gusin, who issued the command, also condensed Fire Crow formed by countless incandescent flames around him, and smashed at the opponent like a cannonball.
Amidst the dazzling flames, Helene suddenly noticed that the flag, covered by the deep black layer and unable to see its original color, began to flutter again in the windless environment, revealing a corner of charred black and Star dots of blood.
Will flame or high temperature cause "0-01" to wake up and let it try to break free from the seal? Helene was not sure about this guess, but thinking that the first change in the situation after entering this hall was indeed after he threw the flames, he became a little more convinced.
But the enemy is now, even if she doesn't light the fire, Gusin and Lisa will not hold back, so Helene did not try to remind Gusin, but The deep black Flame Spear, which also condensed the incandescent flame and Cursed Black Flame, was held in his hand as a melee weapon. He leapt forward and came to Lisa's side first.
This Demoness seemed to have realized that he had become the target of the other two at this moment. He looked over with his deep black eyes, his expression half-smiling.
Then, under the continuous attacks of black flames and Greatsword spears, she turned into crystal fragments. The body walked out in another direction at the top of the mountain, holding Sapphire Ring's left hand high, making Helene and Gusin's hearts tremble.
Both of them had some energy left, but they were worried about meeting the inevitable Meteor Shower again.
But when Lisa lowered his hand again, only the dark Cursed Flame appeared in the air. They flew towards Helene and Gusin with extreme precision. Some were intercepted by Fire Crow in the air, and some were thrown away by the two people who became Flame Spear, without any achievements.
But taking advantage of their opportunity to dodge, Lisa took out a small vanity mirror in his hand. He pointed it at the mirror and was distracted by directing the soldiers to surround her. Therefore, Gusin, who was half a beat slower, wiped Black Flame's stained hand towards his figure fixed on the mirror.
Poof——
Spirituality was alert and hid behind the sword-wielding puppet. Gusin paused and spat out a mouthful of burning Black Flame's blood, but was not directly killed by the curse.
The five soldier puppets he commanded were damaged to varying degrees, with thick armor pieces falling off one after another, and black flames raging inside the hollow.
It is the power of "connection"...Helene, who learned about Hunter and Demoness Demigod's abilities in advance from Miss Angelica, stared at Lisa and declared with Ancient Hermes:
"Forbidden Here curse others!"
She did not try to Deprivation the other party's ability to use black flames because, as Hunter, both she and Gusin needed the help of flames more, and curses were Demoness's specialty.
As for equally dangerous diseases, their effect on a mountaintop covered with flames is extremely limited.
Prohibition took effect instantly, and Gusin and his soldiers were immediately freed from the burning curse from the inside out.
This made Helene a little confused: after Special Mirror World left, Demoness, who could summon meteorites just now and regarded them as ants, seemed to have become much weaker. Not only could Prohibition be effective on her, but the meteorites that destroyed the world before had never appeared again.
No, it should be said that she returned to the normal level. After wearing the ring, she had some Demigod power, but did not have the corresponding divinity and personality of "Affliction" Demoness... Only within that Mirror World could she summon meteorites to resist the "Imperative Mage" of "Prohibition"?
After understanding this, Helene no longer retained her power. The black Flames of Destruction, which was combined with Hunter and Demoness Pathway, was generated in her hands and turned into two spears. One was quickly thrown and the other was held in the palm of her hand, waiting for the opponent to change their position through Mirror Substitution to make up for the second blow.
Like her, Gusin also noticed the sudden decrease in power of "Affliction" Demoness, and sent out the last soldier next to him. Five tall steel soldiers surrounded him, almost drowning the petite Lisa.
Bang——
A violent explosion sounded, and Black Flame enveloped the soldiers and Lisa. The sound of shattering mirrors reached Helene's ears as expected. Her eyes quickly scanned the top of the entire Corpse Mountain, carefully avoiding "0-01", trying to find the identity of the Demoness.
"She's getting closer to that flag!"
Gusin, who was also observing the surroundings, suddenly shouted, ignoring the pollution of Sealed Artifact, and his eyes stayed under the deep black flag on the surface.
Next to the long iron-black metal pole, the figure of Lisa with black hair and black skirt was outlined. He stretched out his hand that was cut at an unknown time and was bleeding dark red blood, and touched the windless automatic flag.
She repeatedly used Mirror Substitution, pretending to be defeated by the two, all in order to quietly approach "Salinger’s Blood Banner"!
Spirituality of Helene was inexplicably alert and realized that he could not let the blood of this Demoness stain the surface of "0-01".
Rose Necklace, which had not replaced its soul because she wanted to maintain "Deprivation", flashed dark golden light around her neck, and dazzling lightning lit up in her pupils, "Mental Piercing " was about to fall on Lisa, but Gusin, who reacted faster, had transformed into Flame Spear and flew towards "Salinger’s Blood Banner".
No, he also wants to smear blood on the flag. Is that the real way to control this Sealed Artifact? Helene's thoughts were spinning, and "Mental Piercing" immediately changed the target.
"Ah!"
Flame Transformation's Gusin only felt that his head was pierced by a dagger and stirred several times. He involuntarily changed back to his human form, staggered two steps before standing still, and let out a scream of anger and confusion.
Of course, Helene did not forget to reach out to touch the flag. Slowing's movements became more and more Slowing but Lisa was always determined. Invisible threads stretched out from all directions, tightly binding her arm, and even the skin was stretched with countless blood marks.
Combined with the "precise" silk thread of Hunter, the power exerted by Demoness alone is much stronger!
However, her arms and even half of her body were restrained. Lisa, who was unable to break free for the moment, did not panic. She also summoned her own invisible threads. Lines that were imperceptible to the naked eye swept over her bloody arms, weaving a dark red spider web around her side.
Then, the bloody spider web covered "0-01", imprinting the blood of Demoness on the charred flag wrapped in darkness.
No! Gusin, who was "Mental Piercing" and whose head was still full of Chaos, roared silently.
Helene also looked at "Salinger’s Blood Banner" nervously, not knowing whether he was looking forward to or worried about how things would develop.
But the Church Square from the ground sank into this hall, and the deep black that had been covering the surface of the flag did not dissipate. The blood of Lisa was like a stone sinking into the sea, without stirring up any changes.
The blood was swallowed up by the power that sealed the flag? "0-01" is back under control?
Helene As soon as she made a guess, an invisible and colorless flame surged out from inside the flag, completely swallowing up the deep black surrounding it. The scorched flag with a large number of dark red blood spots and streaks of blood on its surface reappeared in front of her eyes.
At the same time, the earthquake that shook the entire Underground Mausoleum and caused Corpse Mountain to start shaking occurred again. Even the iron-black flagpole inserted at the top of the mountain couldn't help but shake.
No, it is the shaking of the flagpole that is causing the mountain peaks and the entire mausoleum to tremble.
"Salinger’s Blood Banner" broke free from the seal again during the battle between three Demoness and Hunter, stimulated by the burning of various flames!
The blood-stained flag automatically fluttered upward without any wind, making people want to kneel down and surrender. The first person to bear the brunt was Lisa who stood under the flagpole and tried to get his hands on this Sealed Artifact.
Her ears buzzed and she lost control of her body. All that was left in front of her eyes were the flags that were constantly waving. There was a tingling sensation between her eyebrows, as if something was about to come out of her head.
"Why... staining the flag with blood... has no effect...
"I... will become its... puppet..."
Thoughts came to her mind one after another with difficulty, and finally settled on Honorific Name of "Primordial Demoness".
"Wielding Chaos...Demoness..."
The next second, the Sapphire Ring between her fingers emitted a dazzling light, and the entire ring flowed into her body like melting, bringing a huge power far beyond what her body could bear.
This power caused the blood mark that had appeared between her eyebrows to quickly fade away. The roots of her hair floated up and became thicker and longer, with a mouth and eyes growing out of the ends. The eyes were completely occupied by black and lost focus.
A combination of destruction and Calamity's power, and a charming and whimsical aura swept across the entire Corpse Mountain centered on Lisa. Even the fluttering Salinger’s Blood Banner paused for a moment, seeming to be attracted by the owner of the aura.
Helene and Gusin stood still on the spot, the fear in their hearts could not be increased, and their bodies were as if Petrification could not move.
Their eyes had already fallen into despair. Lisa, who was about to become the puppet of "0-01", suddenly started to move. His severed arm was naturally repaired, and his skin became smoother and more tender. His head with thick and long black hair that kept dancing turned to the two of them, and his pure black eyes revealed the tenderness that makes people yearn for it.
The evil god Demoness Sect believed in, the existence at the top of Demoness Pathway, the power of "Primordial Demoness" came to Lisa.
