NOVPUBThe Phantom Great Love Poet took notice of the magic card in the opponent’s hand.
Its distinctive texture made it seem both illusory and ethereal, with the flowing pattern on the card like a living heartbeat, as if it hovered on the edge of the physical and the intangible realms.
She was beginning to understand why she didn’t have any usable magic cards herself.
Even at the eighth-order, her soul space was in an unusual state, unable to bind any magic cards, while the ones held by her opponent were clearly provided by someone else.
"Do you think you can beat me using someone else’s magic card?"
The Phantom Great Love Poet was certain that it was a summoning card, and it wasn’t of high order.
As long as the opponent dared to summon, the unclaimed summoned beings, she could make them lose control in an instant.
Moreover, even if she was weak in physical strength, she could still slay a low-order summoned creature with her fists.
"..."
With a look of reluctance in his eyes, Lanci did not respond, but loosened his grip on the magic card, which suddenly began to shimmer.
It wasn’t like any ordinary magic card but more akin to intertwined spirals which separated and formed a huge vortex as the sealing power was released.
The vortex twisted, drew in, and even tore the radiant runes surroundings of the labyrinthine corridor.
After the vortex steadied rapidly, a crack appeared in the center, revealing its true form—a giant wolf with time-space ruptures like crimson runes rumbling over its dark and profound body.
The red runes on its body were like the force of creating the world, every single one of them pulsating and breathing like a rift connected with another dimension.
In response to the appearance of this summon, the Phantom Great Love Poet simply scoffed.
Although she was temporarily unable to identify the specific properties of the wolf, she, a great eighth-order demon, how could she be obstructed by a mere fourth-order summoned creature!
However, in the next second, when the giant wolf’s claw abruptly struck the Phantom Great Love Poet, she, who originally intended to crush it directly, suddenly let out a shrill scream.
The instant she touched the giant wolf, her eyes filled with horror, feeling like her arm was about to be ignited and melted.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!"
The Phantom Great Love Poet covered her arm and immediately wanted to retreat.
However, the giant wolf’s body was too large, at this moment it struck its paw down fiercely, pinning the Phantom Great Love Poet firmly to the ground. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
"No! It hurts!!"
She struggled to escape, but under the paw of the Nuclear Fusion Wolf Transformation, her back was continuously being scorched and melted, howling in pain.
"Alas, you probably don’t even know that besides being a living being, you also possess the attributes of a summon."
Lanci walked to the Phantom Great Love Poet, looking down at her on the ground, and spoke regretfully.
He never thought that one day he would have to fight a desperate battle with the Great Love Poet.
"What are you trying to do?"
The grey-haired Great Love Poet’s voice trembled. Tears squeezed from her tightly shut eyes and her crying was on the verge of crumbling.
"I can only remove you from the trials with tears," Lanci, wiping the corner of his eyes, sidestepped his gaze and spoke.
He knew that the Great Love Poet, this cunning demon, no matter how pitiful she seemed, it’s all crocodile tears. He can’t believe her or soften his heart for her, otherwise, he will make a fatal mistake.
The grey-haired Great Love Poet raised her head as much as she could, feeling the man before her eyes was terrifying. His demon sound’s amplification effects on emotion was far weaker than hers, and he didn’t even remove his mask, yet he made her feel extreme fear at this moment.
"I... I was wrong, please don’t!"
With each gasp of the Grey-haired Great Love Poet, it felt like it was gnawing away at her brittle courage. Her voice gradually weakened until it could not be heard. It was only intermittent sobbing.
"Please, I beg you to spare me... I was really wrong!"
But Lanci did not say much. The Nuclear Fusion Wolf Transformation opened its huge mouth, and the Phantom Great Love Poet was forcibly distorted and sealed, and finally turned into a magic card imprinted with black petals.
In a moment, this card, which should not exist in the world, disappeared, returning to the magic power of the boundary within the Maze of Negative Fifth Layer.
With the sealing of the Phantom Great Love Poet and her complete disappearance, a thunderous echo resounded in the corridor.
Black clouds and deep blue thunderlights began to gather, overshadowing the dark-haired, green-eyed figure.
In the center of the maze corridor, the formerly rock-solid boundary magic power began to ripple, as if some mysterious rules had induced all of it.
The flickering frequency of the curse marks on the surrounding walls became much faster, cloaked in a layer of an illusory haze.
A vast amount of magic power gathered in the air. This magic power not only has fluctuations similar to those of the Hopeless Extinction War, but they appeared even more profound and awe-inspiring, like the source power of the supreme Demon World.
A deep blue ring of light formed around the dark-haired, green-eyed Great Love Poet, with magic power gathering and weaving in the air. Simultaneously, lightning from the deep blue thunder and the swirling black fog surged into her brow.
As the magic power continued to intensify and take shape, everyone else at other levels within the maze corridor felt an oppressive force.
Unsure of what had occurred within the Negative Fifth Layer...
Throughout the process, the Great Love Poet was guarded by an invisible force and an isolating domain was formed around her in space.
Several seconds later, the light and magic power rapidly contracted and ultimately crystallized into a deep blue imprint on the Great Love Poet’s brow—
[Hopeless Mark]
[Category: Soul Imprint]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Order: 1]
[Passive Effect: Slight enhancement for all summoned creatures and servitors.]
[Remark: Recognition of Sathya of Despair.]
The Great Love Poet, with her eyes closed, finally slowly opened them, her gaze remaining calm.
Just for a split second, there were a few overlapping semi-transparent light shadows flashing in the depths of her pupils.
They were the three marks she had obtained, which now connected and combined to form a completely different magic power circuit.
And the aura of the demon race on his body truly transformed. At the moment of opening his eyes, it was particularly strong. As long as it was occupied by his soul, even the body of the Great Love Poet would reveal the characteristics of the Great Demon Clan.
However, the aura of the Great Demon Clan was soon obscured once again by the disguise magic.
"Without the trials from the ancestral land and the recognition of the current Demon King, will I become a ’Nameless Great Demon Clan’?"
Lanci was feeling the changes and murmured to himself.
For the demon race, "Nameless Great Demon Clan" is a kind of taboo existence. Because even the demon race would not want to recognize such a great demon clan, its danger often exceeds that of the regular great demon clan.
No title meant that he himself couldn’t give any other demon race their title mark, other than that there was no difference.
However, he would become the nameless great demon clan mainly due to the era, not his own issue. He always preferred to go irregular.
