Killing Qonas

Click.

High above, through the pocket, Qonas heard a clear sound. The sound came from another of his Beyonder Item, "Concerto of Light and Shadow." This clock-like device had its top button pressed automatically.

Its negative effects activate automatically!

Then Qonas saw the bullet fired by "Rivell's Desperate Scream" turn around in mid-air and fly back towards himself!

Not good...

Qonas was deeply shaken. The thought of avoiding danger had just formed in his mind when the terrible effects of several strange bullets erupted.

"Hehe, uh-woo-woo, haha..."

A desperate, frenzied, Distortion, and shrill scream suddenly rang in his ears. The sound seemed to have infected his Spirituality, making his mind instantly confused, his vision blurred, and his body stiff and unable to move!

At such a critical moment, the consequences of losing control of one's body are predictable. Qonas watched helplessly as Luther's black armor rapidly dissipated, then merged with some invisible entity carrying a strong sense of Degeneration, ultimately transforming into a terrifying, Distortion, dark creature.

The Fallen Shadow!

"Roar!"

The pitch-black Monster, brimming with malice, lunged at Qonas the moment it appeared. The latter, stiff and unable to move, was powerless to dodge and could only watch helplessly as it was enveloped and devoured!

"Hiss hiss"

Qonas felt his body rapidly Corrosion, turning the deepest black, and his mind was also being corrupted at the same time. Countless crazy thoughts surfaced in his mind, gradually replacing normal thinking.

His soul and body were both Degeneration, plunging into a dark Abyss!

We must... save ourselves...

Qonas suppressed Consciousness Frenzy in his mind and tried desperately to resist.

The bullet's effects had worn off, and he had regained some control of his body, so he began to activate the "Fallen Earl's" ability. He stared wide-eyed at the Monster, and then an invisible wave was generated, seeping into the Monster's body!

The Chaos of "The Fallen Earl"!

He wanted to confuse the Monster's target, causing it to turn and attack the [Blood Bishop] opposite.

However, the Monster's dark surface only rippled, as if something of a higher power was present within it, easily resisting the influence he exerted.

Chaos is completely useless!

Damn it...

Frustration and despair filled Qonas's mind, but he knew he had no time to wallow in despair and had to quickly make a second attempt.

With difficulty, he moved his finger and pulled the trigger of "Rivell's Desperate Scream" once more.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Bullets fired incessantly like a machine gun, the recoil pressing against his hand and then spreading throughout his body. Suddenly, the force intensified, even propelling him away from Luther.

"The Fallen Earl" magnified!

Qonas amplified the recoil of the Revolver, intending to escape in this way. After all, the shadow clinging to him came from Luther, and once he was far enough away from Luther, it could be forcibly dispelled.

Click.

However, at that moment, the Military Demigod once again heard the "Concerto of Light and Shadow" emanating from his pocket in despair. His ability was rewritten once more by a negative effect; the target of the "amplified" power was altered, changing from the recoil of the Revolver to the creature's "Degeneration" ability!

"Roar!"

The Monster hissed, and the rate of Corrosion instantly increased.

The "Degeneration" has not only not stopped, but has accelerated!

"Boom!"

Qonas felt a deafening roar in his head. The mental barrier he had been struggling to maintain was completely shattered, and countless Frenzy thoughts overwhelmed his mind, rapidly pulling him into Degeneration!

"No..."

His vision was gradually darkening, and he saw Luther's ambiguous smile across from him, filling him with despair.

I'm about to end it all...

No, how can we let him have his way!

Even if it means turning myself into Monster, I will not become his Lamb!

In his moment of despair, Qonas Kilgor's instinct to resist erupted. He suddenly gave up resisting and closed his eyes.

"Brush!"

Dark black hair instantly covered his bare skin, his body began to swell, and he exuded a holy yet sinister aura. For a moment, it seemed that even the Monster could not control him.

Mythical Creature!

He wanted to unleash his most insane state with the body of Demigod, even if it might cause him to lose control!

"Roar"

Qonas's face is deformed, with a protruding snout, and it seems to be developing into a baboon.

However, this trend was quickly interrupted.

"Calm down..."

Across from him, Luther spoke softly. His eyes seemed to hold molten gold, and his words were seductive, striking straight to the deepest recesses of one's heart, "You are safe, there's no need to resist..."

The Phantom Tide exerted their full power within him, allowing him to unleash a near- Demigod- level "Hypnosis"!

"Ah..."

Qonas murmured in confusion, the Mythical Creature features on his body slowly dissolving. He ceased all resistance, allowing the Fallen Shadow to envelop his body once more, utterly swallowing him up.

66

Luther watched silently as the Fallen Shadow writhed on the surface, then withdrew it after a dozen seconds, revealing Qonas's corpse.

All told, this is the second Demigod I've killed.

There was no time to "Grazing" him; after confirming that Qonas was truly dead, he swallowed the corpse, intending to make further plans after leaving the area. If all went well, Qonas would undoubtedly be "Grazing" by him—his first Demigod Lamb, aside from the special case of Medici!

By the way...

While still in mid-air, Luther Consciousness looked down at the Square. Had the admiral recovered yet? If he hadn't escaped, could he perhaps let him Grazing as well...?

As he thought this, he looked down and saw that the latter had recovered slightly and was just struggling to get up.

Luther was about to land to surprise his opponent when suddenly, "Bang bang bang!"

Loud sonic booms, one after another, echoed from the horizon.

Luther's expression changed slightly; he seemed to see a small black dot where the sea met the sky, rapidly enlarging.

"Sea King" Yann Kottman!

Unfortunately, it was too late to go down and capture that admiral.

Luther sighed with regret, then turned around without hesitation and flew towards the port.

The howling wind propelled his body forward, and he moved with Thunder speed!

Sequence 3 isn't unwinnable, but my Spirituality energy is already severely depleted, and I don't know how much reinforcements the Church of Storms will provide. Retreating as soon as possible is the only sensible option.

"Whoosh"

The wind Shriek in his ears as he glided toward the harbor, and soon the scene there came into view.
