Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Empress's Afterhand

Facing the rapidly approaching wall of sand, Owen did not panic, he immediately broke away from the fight with Prince Harun, turned around and stretched out his palms to press down on the wall of sand.

The sand wall "slag" broke open a large hole, and the union between the elements was destroyed by some kind of chengdù, and the surrounding sand could not quickly fill the large hole. Under the astonished gaze of Empress Ipeya, the manipulator of magic, Owen leapt out of the hole and escaped the siege of sand magic.

"Crushing telekinesis, are you a telekinesis from two thousand years ago, a descendant of the bloodsucking elder Franklin?" asked Ipeia, confused.

Although Owen had used his telekinesis to crush the throat of the giant ape in his previous battle with the giant ape, it was only when his magic was shattered that Ipeia was sure that it was an ancient power that had been lost for a long time.

"It's not. Owen shook his head in denial, "I have nothing to do with Elder Franklin, a vampire elder, and I only learn his powers occasionally. But I'm surprised that you even know about the bloodsucking elders two thousand years ago, Miss. ”

"The concubine knows more than that. One of the drawbacks of your shattering mind is that you have to know the structure of an object or magic before you can smash it. You've seen the concubine use sand magic many times, so it's not surprising that you can smash the sand wall, but can you also smash the magic that the concubine has never used?" Ipeia laughed a little wryly.

Owen suddenly had an ominous premonition. He felt the ground shake slightly beneath his feet. Owen immediately jumped up, but as soon as his feet left the ground, several vines suddenly burst out of the rubble on the ground and wrapped around his feet. Owen spun around in mid-air to dodge, staggering the entanglement of vines, however, more vines that collapsed from the ruins, like deep-sea devils with teeth and claws, grew at the speed of a human being, almost filling the entire small space, not giving Owen any room to dodge at all.

"Oh!" Owen felt his right foot tangled in vines.

After movement was restricted, more and more vines wrapped around Owen.

Hands, feet, neck, waist, chest, head...... The whole body was entangled to death, and what was even more terrifying was that these vines with sharp barbs tore open Owen's skin and ripped off his blood vessels, and Owen became a bloody man, a large amount of hot blood was like a sponge squeezed out of the body.

Immediately after, a large tree suddenly rose from the ground, like a huge tombstone, standing in front of Owen.

These vines are directly connected to the tree, and it absorbs the blood that flows from Owen's body, and directly converts it into nutrients that nourish the adult body of the tree. The tree grew taller and bigger, and Owen was almost sucked into a dry corpse.

"The ability to manipulate plants directly, that's the magic of the druids. How could she use it?" Although the body was torn and blood was sucked, there seemed to be some kind of paralyzing toxin on the barbs of these vines, so that Owen could not feel any pain, but in doing so, it also gave Owen free attention to think about other issues.

And what Owen couldn't figure out the most was not that he couldn't use his telekinesis to destroy these vines or trees, but that he couldn't communicate with the spirits of the trees or vines, as if they didn't exist at all.

As if mocking the surprise and helplessness on Owen's face, Ipeia continued to shake her wand while chanting certain incantations. A cloud of black gas, accompanied by countless mournful wails, surged around Owen, enveloping Owen, who was entangled in the air by vines and unable to move for half a minute.

In the darkness, Owen saw countless ghasts filled with hatred and despair floating around him.

"Necromancy in dark magic? how could she even do this?"

Just when Owen felt incredulous, those ghasts seemed to hear a unified command and rushed towards Owen. They tear at Owen's soul that is trapped in ** and unable to struggle. Under the double strangulation of druid magic and dark magic, Owen is not only **, but even his soul will be torn to pieces.

......

"Ahh

Just as Ipeia was calmly admiring the tragic situation before Owen's imminent destruction, there was a sudden high-pitched and imposing shout from the dying man. Ipeia was stunned.

Then, the one in front of me fell apart. Vines, trees, black gas, ghasts...... Everything that shouldn't have appeared shattered like glass and disappeared into the invisible.

The ruins of the temple did not change in any way, all the traces of vines and trees breaking through the ground disappeared without a trace, as if these plants had never existed at all, and the black qi and ghasts were gone, and the only thing that remained in front of Ipeia was Owen, who stood unharmed.

"What a terrible illusion. Even if all of those things were fake, as long as my physical sensations thought they were real, they would still kill me. I didn't expect you to hide such a hand, it's really amazing, Your Majesty the Empress. Owen looked calm, "But unfortunately, it wasn't a wise decision to use a mental attack on me. ”

"Bastard, why aren't you dead yet, how can I kill you!" cursed Prince Harun, who sat down with his back against the large stone pillar. He was hit hard and wounded too badly to continue fighting, but he was still deeply troubled by Owen's escape from his and Ipeya's repeated killings.

But as a party, after the magic was cracked, Ipeiya couldn't see any anger on her face, but instead raised her magic wand calmly: "I almost forgot, you said before that you have a high resistance to mental attacks, and you don't seem to be bragging." You are really a very tricky enemy, and since this is the case, the concubine has to show her real skills. ”

"Come on. Owen also raised his sword eyebrows slightly.

Prince Harun can no longer fight, and now it is a one-on-one duel between him and Empress Ipeia, and no matter what Ipeia is still hiding, Owen must fight to the end.

However, before either of the two men could attack, the battle was interrupted. Because of a sudden violent tremor, it happened out of thin air without warning. The half-collapsed temple continued to crumble, the sand and gravel were scattered, and the earth shook so much that it was impossible to stand on balance.

"Could it be ......" Ipeia looked up at the direction from which the tremor came from, and probably thought of something.

"It's Ray, what the hell is wrong with him?" and Owen felt it for the first time, it was a violent tremor in his friend's soul.

Owen's feelings weren't wrong.

At this moment, on the ground, Lei Zheng and the first warrior of the Golden Dragon Clan who appeared in human form were engaged in the most violent and primitive wrestling. The hands of the two pressed against each other, and all four feet sank into the earth, and at the same time, the earth-shaking "dragon power" on the two of them was transmitted to the ground, turning into a man-made "earthquake".

After a few minutes, the "earthquake" ended. However, Owen felt that the mutation that happened to Ray did not end there, but showed signs of further deepening.

Worrying about his companion's mood may turn into a negative feeling of anger, which makes Owen have to take some time to force his mood to calm down. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Ipeia standing up from the uneven rubble with her magic wand in her hand.

"What the hell did you do to Ray?" Owen tried to calm his mind, but it was a matter of his companion's safety, and he questioned Ipeia with an unabashed sense of power in his tone.

"Bold! you're not qualified to speak to a concubine like that!" Instead of being intimidated by Owen's intimidation, Ipeia showed the majesty of an imperial empress for the first time.

The battle between the two was about to break out, and at this moment, the pile of rubble on the ground suddenly turned up from the inside out.

A grizzled Julian, carrying the mortally wounded, unconscious priest Nusan Shudena on his shoulder, emerges from the rubble.

However, Julian, who had just escaped from the predicament, was surprised to find that Owen and Ipeya, who were originally his companions, were now fighting each other with sabre-rattling, and not far away, the "Riverside Man" was seriously injured and sitting on the rubble.

"Owen, Miss, what the hell are you doing?"
