Chapter 36: A Moonless Night (with Notice)
"Never fight in the enemy's chosen battlefield......" "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" had a gloomy face, "I have forgotten this simplest truth." Pushing me to this point, great, Levy? Fedorovich. ”
Obviously, unlike those low-level lichs, Levi the Pale Moon? Fedorovich is able to activate multiple bodies at the same time. At this moment in the Ngol Manor, Levy has more than one body prepared.
Brush!
Feeling the teleportation marker he left behind in Engor Manor, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" tugged hard in the void, and a blue portal appeared out of thin air.
"You think you'll be able to get out of my world this way?" Lévy said tepidly, as if voices sounded from all sides at the same time.
“……”
The "Emperor of the Night" stared at the other side of the portal. He did see the hallway at the door of the room...... But it's not in the hallway of the Engor manor. In the space opposite the portal, luxurious marble corridors are layered on top of each other, up and down, repeating and repeating, stretching infinitely into the distance, floating in the endless void, and there is no beginning or end point at all.
Circular space.
I see...... "Emperor of the Eternal Night" knew it in his heart. It's the gap between the real world and the plane's prison...... Lévy exploited the fold between the two spaces to create a separate distorted space......
The black-robed man rushed into the endless corridor opposite the portal. The figure of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" ran forward along the corridor.
"You can't run away." Levy's voice said.
The black-robed man was like a strong wind, striding down the endless corridor. Every now and then, he even opened a new portal and rushed in. But no matter how many times he tried, the portal he opened could only pass back and forth in Lévi's warped space.
"You think I'm going to leave a glaring flaw for you to escape? No, you'll just have to linger here forever," Lévy mocked, "forever." ”
“……”
I don't know how long it took, but the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" stopped abruptly. He looked up, looking up at the white void above him.
"Did you give up?" Levi scoffed.
"I'm just giving up on escaping," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" said, his loud voice resounding through the circular space, "I think it's better to defeat you than to run away." ”
……
Engor Manor.
Levi in a black robe? Fedorovich frowned. He held his Staff of Scalu in his hand. The staff had no ornamentation on its body, and its head resembled a terrifying skull shrouded in mist. Endless magic surged across the staff, making the space around it tremble slightly.
"Down with me?" "No kidding. How do you bring me down? You're just my prisoner. ”
“…… Thirty-seven. "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" said.
“…… What the? ”
"Thirty-seven," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" tone was as calm as if discussing something that had nothing to do with him, "that's the number of clones you've prepared at Engor Manor. Am I right? 'Pale Moon'. ”
"You ......," Levy's expression changed slightly.
"In the current manor, there are a total of eight hundred and eighty-nine '**' intelligent beings, most of which exude different spiritual fluctuations," said the "Eternal Night Emperor", his dark eyes were as deep as the sea, sweeping through the endless void, exuding an aura of no anger and self-authority, "but there are thirty-seven of them, and each spiritual fluctuation is exactly the same. Levy? Fedorovich, your soul is located in the Lich Fatbox, sharing a single consciousness and mental fluctuation, no matter how many doppelgangers you have...... Am I right, 'Pale Moon'? ”
It was my negligence, Lévy thought to himself.
"There's a doppelganger among them," said the Emperor of the Eternal Night, "and I feel his extraordinary power. That was the power of the Staff of Scalu...... That's your main doppelganger. ”
Levi's face turned pale. Each Black Apostle has a strong staff of his own. Goth's "Manfred's Staff", Beviel's "Sigmund's Staff", Levy's "Scalu's Staff...... These near-artifact staffs enhance the power of the Black Apostles, and fighting with them is enough to make the Black Apostles feel like two people.
"You're so talented, but without the 'Staff of Scalu' augmentation given to you by your teacher, you wouldn't be able to cast a spell that would imprison me," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" let out a deafening laugh, "You should be honored, Levy?" Fedorovich. You're the first opponent since my return that deserves to go all out. Now ......"
Countless dark forces began to coalesce in the hands of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". Lévy desperately manipulated the space, trying to prevent the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" from summoning his staff, but it was in vain. No one could stop the staff from returning to its master, not even the legendary mage.
A scepter began to take shape in the hands of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". A golden rod handle with a black crystal ball on top. To gaze at it is to gaze at the endless eternal night.
"When the sun goes out, the eternal night falls," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" caressed his staff, "the Staff of Helios...... No, the name Scepter of the Eternal Night is more to my liking. ”
The "Emperor of the Eternal Night" raised his scepter aloft in his hand. The black head of the Scepter of Eternal Night resembles the pitch-black sun, and the black flame burns brightly. Centered on the Emperor of the Eternal Night, thirty-seven miniature portals have been opened, each aimed at one of Levy's clones. Almost at the same time, thirty-seven pulsing streams of black energy rose from the Scepter of Eternal Night.
"It's over now, Levy? Fedorovich. ”
Under the master's order, thirty-seven black energy fluctuations struck directly towards the thirty-seven levies as if they were alive. Thirty-seven Levi tried to dodge, some began to flee, others defensive...... But it was all in vain. No matter where the manor was hidden, whether it was a room in the air, underground, or in the dark, many Levi were instantly crushed by the black energy fluctuations, and there was not even a single residue of the corpse left.
The last one to fall was Levi's clone holding the Staff of Scaloo. The handsome black-robed mage struggled twice, and was soon completely consumed by the black flames, and only a few items that were not afraid of the black flames, such as the Staff of Scalul, fell to the ground.
……
The "Emperor of the Night" took his scepter in his hand and strode into the new portal he had opened, leaving the crumbling gaps in space. With the death of Levi's last doppelganger in the manor, the space collapses completely. Now, the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" is back at the door of Angel's boudoir, as if nothing had happened.
The Scepter of Eternal Night has disappeared from the hands of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night". The matter of life and death has passed, but it is not time to rest.
"Boom." "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" muttered to himself.
Without the support of his master, Levy's last "ruins" in the manor, the seventeen "dead wells" that emitted this dead air, were completely destroyed in less than a breath. Now, the Ngol estate is back under the control of the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".
It took five times longer than expected...... also lost an Angel...... Difficult fellow, thought the "Emperor of the Eternal Night".
Levy's item was dropped not far away. The tall black-robed mage walked over. He leaned down, trying to touch the staff of Scalu. But before he could touch the priceless staff, the staff vanished from his eyes.
"Sure enough, there are other clones out there." "The Emperor of the Eternal Night" said to himself. He felt a wave of fatigue.
He turned to pick up another item on the ground. It was a brown cube that looked like a Rubik's cube, just the right size for an adult male to play with in his hand.
"This is ......," the "Emperor of the Eternal Night" looked shocked.
