The horror of soul magic is that it directly acts on the opponent's mental world, and there is no external means to defend against it except for its own willpower.

The banshee's soul-tearing howl swept across the top of the tower in an instant.

If everyone's spiritual world is compared to a fertile plain, then the banshee's howl at this time is tantamount to a tornado blowing on the plain.

After the storm, the plains were devoid of grass and rivers.

Dozens of Imperial Guards fell to the ground with their eyes blank, their bodies intact, but their souls gone.

Roland was half-on his knees, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and Constantine and the Emperor behind him were no better, their faces were as pale as paper, as if they had a serious illness.

If it weren't for the [Heavenly Bless] that weakened most of the magic power of [Hell Howl], I am afraid that the ending of the three people in the defensive enchantment would not be any different from the guards who collapsed to the ground at this moment.

Younas stared at his red eyes, his face at the moment no longer looked like a living person, not even a person, "Get ready for death." ”

A massive, evil aura of darkness emanated from Younas, condensing a gloomy cloud above the tower.

Roland and Constantine glanced at each other, and both saw the wry smile in each other's eyes.

The two men standing on the top of the tower were the best of the continent's younger generation, but as the only two finalists in the Imperial Martial Arts Conference, they couldn't survive even a round in the face of the black magician's all-out blow.

This is a gap accumulated over countless years, and it is not at all something that talent can make up.

The indelible distance between the genius and the strong is the just and cold time, which has been the same for eternity.

Roland wiped the blood from his lips and looked at the dark sky, "Can you still use that sword in the arena just now?"

Constantine shook his head.

"It looks like we're really going to die here this time. Roland said, but even in the face of death, there was not the slightest fear on his handsome face, and at the same time he turned around and looked at the emperor with a hint of apology, "It's a pity, Your Majesty, forgive me for being incompetent." ”

"There's no need to blame yourself, young man, you've done a good enough job. ”

In the shadows, the face of the Emperor is still unwavering, "This is a demonic power, it is not something that human beings can compete with at all, I don't estimate that Othello is not the opponent of this magician, I can only say that I didn't expect that the conspirator behind the scenes would be able to invite such a terrible and crazy black magician." ”

The Emperor looked at Younas above his head, his eyes showed a bit of self-deprecation, as the lord of the empire, he thought that he would always be able to control the overall situation and ignore all conspiracies, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the ability of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But at this moment, what the emperor thinks about the most in his mind is the person who has spent so much effort to kill him, what is his plan?

Causing turmoil in the empire is an obvious consequence, and the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly the Dragon Lance Dynasty, but the Emperor's years of accumulated political experience and intuition tell him that the Dragon Lance Dynasty cannot be the real mastermind behind the scenes, which is inconsistent with the Dragon Lance's usual style of acting.

The defeat of the Dragonlance Ten years ago also made it clear to the Dragon Lance Dynasty that it could not defeat a behemoth with ancient historical roots such as the Holy Empire by internal turmoil alone.

Just killing the Great Emperor will only bring about a change of power within the empire, and it will not be able to bring about a substantial weakening of the national power of the Holy Empire, and it is unlikely that the Dragon Lance Dynasty will do such a futile thing.

It has nothing to do with the interests of the country, then the problem can only come from the attribution of the throne.

The Emperor frowned, he thought of a possibility, but he didn't want to believe it in his heart, because Prince Byron didn't seem to have a reason to do so.

But what about the others?

There were many groups hostile to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, who were forced to cede power by the old aristocratic families of Olympia under the Emperor's reforms, as well as the intertwined local powers in the various counties and provinces, and even within the Church of Light and the Imperial Family.

The death of the Great Emperor, there is no doubt that they are all beneficiaries.

The Emperor's inner thoughts turned back and forth, but the situation in front of him was already so grim that it was impossible to think about it.

Constantine took out the blue crystal pendant from his pocket and held it tightly, this pendant was the last two relics his mother had left him in the world, just like the black box.

The black box still sits in Joey's magic tower, and the only thing Constantine can count on now is the sky-blue crystal pendant in his hand, which can help him survive the current crisis.

According to Joey's account, in the sewers, this pendant, the key that Younas said could open the tomb of St. Faust, once allowed him to escape under the projection of the demon king.

"Great Lord St. Faustus, if you are really the legendary invincible magician, please bless me. Constantine said silently in his heart, and at the same time he was eager to memorize the famous passages that he had studied at the seminary to praise the Lord of Radiance, and of course, the subject should be changed.

But unfortunately, even the all-knowing and omnipotent Lord of Light is unlikely to respond to his request, let alone a magician who has been dead for more than a thousand years?

Of course, nothing happened.

Younas sneered, "Little one, do you think you still have the good fortune of the last time? The relics left by the great Lord St. Faustus are not the ones you can control now? ”

According to Joey, in the sewers, Beelzebub's projection launched an attack on Constantine's spiritual world, and it was only then that he inadvertently triggered the power that had been sealed in the pendant for thousands of years.

In other words, if the opponent's strength does not reach a certain level, the pendant will not even react at all.

Faust is considered to be the most powerful magician in human history for thousands of years, and his opponents are all at the pinnacle of each plane without exception, so when making this pendant, it is also Faust's own strength standard, and naturally he will not consider the upper limit of the ability of the latecomer.

It's like an epic magic greatsword built to slay dragons, but with extremely demanding use conditions, it can only exert earth-shattering power when facing a giant dragon, and when the opponent is a tiger, it may not be as useful as a knife.
