Ian's tactics were simple: test as many curses as possible on the man until one worked. Blood Demon God Watarris was more than happy to enjoy this sumptuous meal. As a result, Ian's battle took on a strange state within a few seconds. He kept teleporting around his opponent, dodging his opponent's blood spears while casting curses on his opponent.
However, Watarris suddenly had an ominous premonition. Instead of swallowing those curses, he chose to avoid them.
"It's too late," Ian sneered and activated his Gluttony Curse. Watarris immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. To be more precise, it was an uncontrollable hunger.
His eyes turned red as the desire to devour everything in sight overcame his reason. However, he was, after all, Demon Gods. Over the years, he had invaded countless worlds and dimensions, which meant that his willpower was enough to control himself. Unfortunately, the pain in his stomach did not stop.
Watarris stared at him with the Wrath gaze of a hungry predator. If looks could kill, Ian would have been pierced countless times by now. Watarris took a breath to calm down, then raised his hand to condense a blood spear, and instantly teleported to Ian.
Ian's shield automatically appeared, but it had no effect. Watarris's spear tore it apart, absorbing all the energy in the process. Ian reacted quickly and used his [Qi] to kick the spear away from his heart. However, with just the contact, he could still feel his physical strength being drained away.
'Vampire has the ability to absorb all energy and force,' Ian analyzed. He raised his staff and shot out a burst of pure kinetic energy. Watarris's blood spear turned into a shield, easily neutralizing the power of the attack.
'Conventional attacks are useless,' Ian thought to himself, and changed his tactics. Origin Runes of his home planet was famous for his extreme control and application of energy, and Ian decided to use this characteristic to his advantage.
He modified the runes of the spell in Soul Dimension, and then cast it. Hundreds of magic circles emerged around him, each shooting an elemental spell. Facing this overwhelming attack, Watarris remained calm.
He has learned his lesson and will no longer swallow anything that comes his way. However, he can apply his Authority of Gluttony more subtly, by neutralizing or neutralizing his opponent's attacks.
A red shield formed around him, blocking attacks from all directions. Watarris's plan was smart, but he underestimated the meaning of the word [Arcanist]. The reason why Arcanist is dangerous is because of their profound knowledge. They are able to deal with various situations.
The moment Ian's spell comes into contact with the shield, a change occurs. The spell begins to Energy Conversion rapidly, which renders Watarris's neutralization ability useless. A Fireball suddenly becomes Water Pillar, a Lightning Strike suddenly becomes Holy Light, and so on.
This conversion is extremely fast and continuous, and the energy loss in the process is minimal. Watarris's neutralization ability is based on his ability to absorb a certain part of the spell's energy composition, thereby rendering it ineffective. However, Ian's method prevents him from absorbing any key part of the basic energy composition.
As a result, the indiscriminate bombardment of spells shredded his red shield and left numerous holes in his body. Watarris looked at his wounds and didn't care at first. However, he soon discovered that his body was not regenerating. These attacks contained seals on life energy, as well as an unknown force that could ignore his defense and regeneration.
'Applying Haki (Haki) and willpower to spells is indeed very effective against these immortal creatures,' Ian analyzed. 'However, in order to directly affect the soul, further improvement is needed.' He knew that this small victory was nothing. He had to hurt Watarris's soul, so he took the opportunity to attack again. A beam of light fell from the sky, turning Watarris into ashes.
'Damn,' Ian thought to himself, while casting countless spells to find Watarris. He noticed that the latter was protecting his soul while allowing his body to be destroyed. This Demon Gods was very strategic. He abandoned the broken body, most likely to condense a new body.
As expected, a few seconds later, before Ian could find him, Watarris appeared with an intact new body. Demon Gods condensed more than a dozen Blood Clones to surround Ian, but the latter only created a clone of himself to deal with it.
"It's disgusting to fight you," Watarris commented. Blood Clones was one of the abilities that allowed him to be promoted to Upper Demon God, and it played an important role even after becoming the king. However, this move was useless in front of this mage.
"You are not the first person to say that, and you will not be the last one," Ian responded. The Blood Cloness raised their hands and surrounded Ian with blood weapons. Ian's Cosmic Perception immediately activated and issued a danger warning to him.
'One of these weapons can kill me instantly,' he analyzed, trying to find out the source of the danger. 'No? How is it possible? This power... is Law of Causality. Damn it, this bastard is using my curse.' He realizes that Watarris can use other people's abilities after swallowing them, and he is using the Law of Causality characteristic of the Ian curse to render his Cosmic Perception ineffective.
Ian ordered his clone to protect him at all costs and began to cast spells. A green clock appeared under his feet and his eyes turned green. He cast a spell called "Death Foresight", which allowed him to peek into the future and see his own death.
At the same time, the clones of Ian used various spells to prevent any weapons from approaching the main body. Several clones were destroyed during the attempt to intercept, but the remaining clones still carried out their tasks unswervingly until their lives were exhausted.
"I saw it," Ian whispered. However, it was too late. A sword with a power he was all too familiar with shattered all his protection and was less than one meter away from him. 'Death Force,' Ian thought. Blood is regarded as the source of life, so it is understandable that Watarris can touch Authority of Death. This also proves how talented he is in fresh Blood Magic, and he can actually deduce his Authority to reach a higher level of Authority.
'I have to think of something,' Ian thought to himself, when the sword blade was only a few centimeters away from him. Just when he was trying to think of a countermeasure, everything around him suddenly stopped. Whether it was Watarris, or the two Odin who were fighting in the distance, or La, the Ancient One, Demons, and Kryptonian Legion - everyone stopped.
"Looks like you're in trouble. Do you need help?"
"Death Lady?"
"If it's fake, it will be replaced," Death Lady appeared next to Ian and said. "What do you think?"
"To be honest, Your Highness. If your plan is to wait until I'm in a fatal crisis before you make a devil's deal with me, then you showed up too early," Ian said calmly.
"You mean you have a way to survive this crisis?"
"I have." Although Ian's thinking and reaction time are not enough to avoid this attack, Morgana exists precisely to deal with this situation.
"Interesting," Death Lady said, looking directly into his eyes. "Very good, I will continue to read. But you have to know that if I have to Resurrection you, your soul belongs to me."
"If it comes to that, I will accept my fate," Ian replied.
"Very good."
Time continued to pass normally, and Ian found himself back in his previous near-death situation. The blade was almost touching his nose, which meant that it was about to pierce his head. However, just before it hit him, a sudden change occurred.
