Chapter 468 - Who is the backstabber?
The Lord of Darkness that’d been so overbearing was now like an old dying dog, using a sword to prop up its body. Its mouth was letting out reluctant roars, but it seemed as powerless as mumblings of somebody about to die. As for Lin Li, the cause of everything, his face was as pale as a sheet of paper. The magical wave on his body was as weak as a candlelight that was about to be extinguished in the wind.
As long as one was not blind, they could see that both sides were undoubtedly injured. At such a time, nobody would even suspect that Lin Li was faking anything. In fact, to achieve mutual destruction with the Lord of Darkness was already something that made people feel ridiculous. Even those old men that had entered the Legendary-realm for a long time might not able to achieve this.
Everyone would be greedy. If greed was steered properly, it would become motivation. Otherwise, it would be a sin that destroyed themselves. Even Hutton, who was just watching from the sidelines, could not help but feel moved when he saw this scene. But when he thought of Stephen was left behind in the arena, he could not help but be in a dilemma. The budding greed within Hutton instantly vanished completely. Of course, he quickly rejoiced that he did not take any action, because the person that was the most qualified to benefit from this had appeared.
In the world of void and stars, a certain section of space was contorting without a sound. It was like the surface of water that a rock was thrown into. An inhuman existence had submerged into this world within the ripples. With this, a powerful aura that made people shudder had appeared.
The Lord of Souls, Mephistos, had once lost the battle for reign over the Abyss of Tharlen. This poor thing had been bombarded till his soul was suppressed from all directions. But now, nobody dared to relate “poor thing” to him.
His head had two horns that were curved and threaded. He had a tall forehead and deeply set eyes. The rims of his eyes were peerlessly black. The closely woven scales were made indistinct by the cyan-colored soul flames that surrounded him. Just like most Demons, there was a pair of gigantic wings growing on his back. It was just that the wings were enveloped by the soul flames as well, and seemed to be constantly burning. Although the long tail was not thick and muscular, it was serrated till the end. An average person would not be able to handle a hit.
“It’s been 1,300 years. I’ve long waited for this day. I can finally take back what belongs to me!” Mephistos, who showed his whole body, threw his head back and roared as though he was venting.
Seeing that the Lord of Darkness and Mephistos were fighting each other and causing loud booms as their bodies moved, Lin Li finally let out a sigh of relief.
“Hehe, they are fighting. Although the Lord of Darkness isn’t as powerful as before, there shouldn’t be any issues for it to fight against Mephistos, who had been suppressed for over 1,000 years, on its home grounds.” Connoris sheepishly laughed. As Lin Li’s accomplice, seeing that notoriously cunning Lord of Souls Mephistos falling into Lin Li’s trap gave him a sense of achievement.
Lin Li did not carry on the conversation. Although he was still pale, he was constantly watching the battle between the two rulers—past and present—of the Abyss of Tharlen. Such a scene was not something that could be seen every day. The two powerhouses—even though one had lost all reason, and the other had his shattered soul sealed for 1,300 years—weren’t something that an average Legendary-realm powerhouse could compare to.
