But Claire was right!

The ray struck Malthus, who had lost his mage's shield, and soon, due to Malthus's now expanded and growing life force, the original spell mutated. Malthus's skin squirmed, and in an instant it grew into countless scarlet wriggling mutated blood vessels, and the original blood vessels that were only a few were alienated into more than thirty due to their vigorous vitality, not only that, but it existed for far longer than Claire expected, and the blood vessels wrapped around Malthus's limbs and skull, pulling hard!

The sheer pull made Malthus breathless, making it impossible for him to maintain the vampire's touch. Thanks to this unexpected spell, Violet was able to escape the threat of death. Weak, she fell to the ground, barely standing on tiptoe in the air and kicking Eagle's scepter at Malthus's waist.

Claire was ecstatic when she saw this, but the next moment, his hopes were dashed. A flash of light came from the scepter, blocking Willett's weak kick.

Although Malthus was unable to gain the approval of Iger's Scepter, he certainly would not give up the Root Artifact easily, and at that time, out of caution, he cast a protective spell on Iger's Scepter to prevent theft, warn, and resist.

The spell worked wonders, and Willet's desperate counterattack was futile.

Malthus, who was entangled in his face by mutated blood vessels, sensed it, and he snorted coldly. Subconsciously wanted to cast a spell to counter and entangle his veins, but Claire would not give him such time. He cast an ice storm one step ahead, and the extremely cold ice picks swirled and roared through the atmosphere and into Malthus's body, although they could not inflict fatal damage on him, but the freezing cold and the piercing attack of the ice picks further limited Malthus's spell casting.

At this point, Claire set her sights on Eagle's scepter at Malthus' waist.

Malthus, though his vision was blocked, also guessed Claire's thoughts. His heart sank, knowing that he had made the mistake of rushing forward, so that he was forced into a dilemma.

Claire wouldn't give him time to cast a spell, and while Malthus was alive, both were now targeting Eagle's Scepter. If you don't find a way to crack this weird vascular mutation, Iger's Scepter will fall into Claire's hands sooner or later.

As soon as he thought of this, Malthus kicked in the direction where he remembered where Wellett landed, and the soft touch of his feet seemed to kick into Wellett's abdomen, covering his head with mutated blood vessels, and Violet's muffled snort came from his ears. Malthus breathed a sigh of relief and took two steps back with difficulty, only to shake off the cloak of death.

In addition to greatly blessing the user's use of negative energy, the death cloak can also allow the holder to freely transform into physical and spirit states, in addition, it can also turn people into a deadly poisonous mist, which can be called a legendary item that integrates attack and defense.

This time, Malthus is using the Poison Mist ability. The black light of the death cloak flashed, and in the next second, Malthus's body turned into a wriggling black poisonous mist. No matter how the vascular mutation transforms, it will not have an effect on the existence that has lost its physical body, and Malthus, who has turned into a black mist, makes the vascular mutation automatically ineffective, relying on the extraordinary ability of the death cloak to turn the situation around in one fell swoop.

But at the same time, there has been another unexpected and reasonable change. That is, the Eagle Scepter is a root artifact, and it will naturally not be affected by the death cloak without recognizing the master, and the Eagle Scepter, which is still in physical form, loses its support and falls in the deadly poisonous mist.

It was because he had long been aware of this change that Malthus had not been able to fully use the power of the Death Cloak in his previous battles. Even he knew that the Black Poison Mist had the ability to poison Violet, and he would have kicked Violet away out of caution to keep a safe distance before the change.

Malthus regained his body the moment he turned into a black mist and lifted the mutation of his blood vessels, and grabbed Eagle's scepter with his backhand, which fell to the ground.

Now, Claire was still more than twenty meters away from him, and after kicking and retreating, Violet was also nearly ten steps away from him. Considering the reaction time of the above two, even Charlotte and Ramsay, who are proficient in time and space spells, may not be able to capture the Eagle Staff.

Malthus's heart was beating wildly, and he saw that his fingertips were about to touch Iger's scepter, and then it changed again.

I saw Vill Little sneer, although her face was weak, but there was a sly smile on the corner of her lips. At this moment, a black stone in her hand radiated a holy light, which was the blackest holiness that Gloria had given her.

Several bones burst out of the ice and slammed diagonally into the Eagle Scepter, which had fallen due to gravity, and Malthus was fishing from above, and given the effect of gravity, it was naturally half a minute faster from the bottom up. The skeleton slammed into the scepter, sending Malthus's fingers past the scepter, who was knocked sideways and slammed to the ground half a meter away.

It turned out that Willett had already taken out the Black Holy to protect herself when Malthus was about to counter the vascular mutation, and when Malthus made a kicking action later, she was deliberately kicked to keep a safe distance. But when she found that Malthus had uncharacteristically retreated, Violet immediately realized that something was wrong, and subconsciously reluctantly mobilized to the Black Holiness and waited for an opportunity.

Her instant decision turned the tide again, and Claire would never let go of such a good opportunity, and he instantly closed the distance and grabbed the scepter before Malthus, who was stunned for a moment by a series of changes.

That moment of astonishment changed all the situation, Malthus turned into an attack, his palm flashed blue, and he slapped Claire on the shoulder with the almost infinite advantage of his vitality.

The collision between the palm of the magic power field and the protective spell bloomed with a brilliant light, and Claire's eyes froze, making a decision in that moment of life and death. He knew that although he had obtained the scepter, he had fallen into an absolute disadvantage in the attack and defense of spells, and if he retreated on the defensive at this time, he would hardly be able to turn the tide in the hands of Malthus when Verlet was exhausted.

He decided to take the risk of cracking the protective spell on Iger's Scepter, as he concluded that even with Malthus's powers, it would be impossible to completely seal the transcendent power of the Root Artifact.

The goddess of fate was on his side today, and two consecutive desperate gambles worked wonders. Claire only used the simplest spell to remove the seal, and felt a violent tide of magical energy coming from Iger's scepter, one inside and one outside, and the moment Malthus broke the mage's shield and reflected the palm of the magic power field on Claire's shoulder, the protective seal on Iger's scepter was also lifted.

Losing its protective power, the life force passed sharply under the influence of the bloodsucking wilderness, and at the same time, the palm of the magic power field with extremely powerful field energy instantly caused most of Claire's body to turn into a blood mist and disperse.

But at this moment, Iger's Scepter had bloomed with a miserable white light, and the root-level magic energy was surging inside.

"Quinn, purify it—" Claire snarled weakly, coughing up blood.

Purification has the extraordinary ability to expel all negative states, toxins, and persistent negative spells, and the Vampire Wilderness is also on the purification list.

In an instant, a miserable white light shone in all directions, and the legendary spell blood-sucking wilderness dissipated like spring and snow under the purifying power of Iger's scepter. At the same time, after Claire reached the legendary level, the power of Iger's Scepter was further unsealed, and the newly unlocked spell came into Claire's mind.
