Chapter 914 The Witch King: You have no idea how terrifying I am!
In the darkness of the distance, a figure of a dark evil king, as large as a mountain, appeared. He gradually walked towards this place. It was clear that although the dark evil king had discovered that Locke had entered his dark domain, he was actually still some distance away.
Locke immediately raised the beast claw necklace in his hand, wanting to activate the ancient protective magic from the Age of Stars that had been left here. Two beams of magical light appeared at his and Douglas's feet, ready to leap into the sky to open a dimensional portal and return to the Black Hole Witch Peach.
As soon as two beams of magical light descended into the sky and opened the dimensional portal, Locke and Douglas both saw that the dimensional gate had opened and saw the scene of the wizarding world on the other side.
But at that very moment, endless darkness suddenly surged forth like ripples and waves, abruptly severing the dimensional portal.
Because the dimensional portal opened and closed so quickly, neither of them had time to pass through.
Locke heard a dark voice that sounded like some kind of ancient ritual chant.
The ground beneath his feet began to tremble.
Douglas covered his ears and screamed in agony, blood streaming from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. He knelt on the ground screaming, the dark voice forcing him to reveal his name.
He raised his head.
"Douglas..."
Locke's pupils suddenly contracted.
not good.
From the darkness, the hand of the Great Evil King of Darkness reached out and grasped the name.
"Very well, from this moment on your name belong to darkness."
Douglas screamed in agony. All the colors of his clothes, the colors of the permanent defensive field, and the magical radiance of his soul seemed to be drained away by the darkness, and his body was about to turn completely into darkness.
Upon seeing this, Locke gritted his teeth and waved the Golden Wheat in his hand. The main plant factor of the Golden Wheat was the Brilliance Factor. The Golden Wheat struck Douglas and forcibly absorbed the magical radiance emanating from his body into this magical plant.
The Great Evil King of Darkness sneered. "You dare to compete with the Darkness for a target using such methods?"
"You'll all stay here today..."
"Give me your name too, and I shall become your servant of darkness... forever condemned..."
A dark voice penetrated his permanent defensive field and entered his soul. Locke groaned and opened his mouth as if to speak.
At that moment, his mind was racing, searching for a solution to the problem.
Golden Wheat has the ability to steal magical radiance. When it was drawing color from Douglas in the darkness, although it didn't know the principle behind it, it could at least intercept some of the magical radiance that was drawn from him, which might be able to save him.
The problem is, if the holder of Golden Wheat has had their name taken away by darkness...
That would be a huge problem.
That means all the magical brilliance related to oneself will be chosen and extracted by darkness.
The magic of Golden Wheat was broken, and the part of Douglas that he had saved, along with himself, would be taken away by the darkness.
I have to find a way myself.
What should we do now?
Fighting a being of the Sun Ring level is not going to end well, especially since this is the opponent's home turf.
Behind Locke appeared a Tree of Prosperity, which transformed into a Golden Tree, emitting a faint golden glow in the darkness and resisting the darkness with the seasons.
However, there is currently only one Spring Fruit hanging on the tree, which grew in the Three Caves World.
Therefore, in essence, only the spring season is truly real for one's own tree of prosperity, while the power of the other three seasons is too weak.
The power of the four seasons held out for a while, but was quickly overwhelmed by darkness.
Locke frowned. What should he do now?
He ordered his clone of the Ancient Tree Fruit to hurry to the seventh floor of the castle of the Temple of Truth, where either Catherine the Witch's three-ring clone, or Trajan's main body or clone, might have a chance to help him.
After all, once one's name is taken by darkness, both one's true self and one's clones are forced into the darkness.
Wait a minute, the name.
Locke's eyes widened. Why does the dark world need names?
A name needs to be called out.
Why does a Dark Lord gain the power of a world once he pulls it into darkness?
How exactly does the dark world transmit its power?
Locke looked again at Douglas, whose remaining magical radiance was being sucked into the darkness. Was it light?
Don't be ridiculous. In the dark world, everything is dark, and visual ability isn't particularly useful here. Besides, since this is a dark world, how could energy be transmitted through light and shadow?
However, in any case, the dark world must have a way of transmitting energy, passing the power of several worlds to the Dark Lord. At this moment, the Great Evil King of Darkness is also being transmitted from the darkness through something.
Locke summoned the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow from his forest sanctuary, and a sharp cry immediately reached his ears.
Immediately following this sharp cry, the rate at which the magical aura on Douglas was being absorbed actually slowed down.
And Locke's tendency to about to reveal his name... disappeared.
In the darkness, the enormous silhouette of the Dark King, who was gradually approaching, suddenly froze.
"Did you find it? That damned wizard..."
Locke finally realized what was happening.
In the dark world... sound is key.
Since sound transmits energy, after the Dark Lord has led a world to fall into darkness, the Dark World will likely transmit its power to him in the form of sound.
This place, which is dark as far as the eye can see, is actually a place full of musical sound feast.
Sound is key here!
The dragon fire of his own Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow would make a loud popping sound when it burned the air, which would obviously slightly affect the transmission of power in the Dark World.
It's a pity that I haven't been able to develop a magical plant that can specifically generate certain sound waves to interfere with the Dark World.
The great roaring dragon behind Locke emitted a sharp screeching sound as it rubbed against the air.
The Dark Evil King let out a disdainful laugh.
"So what if they found it? Their power is far inferior to that of the wizard."
"Turn it upside down."
The next moment, Locke felt as if the sky and the earth were turning upside down, and he felt as if he were a tiny object falling into a porcelain bowl in the hands of the Dark Evil King. The porcelain bowl was also black.
Locke and Douglas both became food in this bowl.
Locke saw countless thin threads appearing on his and Douglas's bodies.
Locke and Douglas were horrified to discover that their permanent defensive force fields had disappeared in this space.
Douglas lost his permanent defensive force field, while he himself degenerated from a second-ring permanent defensive force field shell to a first-ring permanent defensive force field.
Locke gritted his teeth and said, "Dimensional reduction..."
I experienced this once before. The demons and monsters in the darkness wanted to kill me and dragged me into a shadow play-like area. As a result, my permanent defensive field disappeared because of the dimensional reduction.
This time it's a bit better, because I am now a proper permanent defensive force field shell, so I have only degenerated into a permanent defensive force field.
Douglas screamed as the last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished, and then he was limply suspended by threads of shadow, like a character in a shadow play.
The Dark Evil King said, "Heh heh, I enjoy watching you beings from the Prime Material Plane slaughter each other. Your greed, stupidity, and arrogance are the best nourishment for darkness. Come on, a grand battle begins..."
Douglas automatically chanted a spell, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, transforming into the weapon in his hand—his commonly used Evocation School magic, the Lightning Blade.
At that moment, he gripped the Lightning Blade and thrust it toward Locke.
The lightning blade, imbued with the energy of lightning, burst forth the instant it attacked, stabbing towards his throat. The lightning blade struck his permanent defensive force field, instantly annihilating it.
Locke instantly realized that in this environment, the Crystallization Wizard could actually break through his defenses.
the reason is simple.
Because its own permanent defensive force field shell was reduced in dimension.
Since they are all first-level spell models, there is a possibility of them being able to break through the defense.
However, even a permanent defensive force field is permanent, making it extremely difficult to break through.
The voice of darkness appeared in his ears again.
Even if the sound of the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow temporarily interfered with the energy transmission of the dark world, the degree of interference was still limited.
In this dark shadow puppet space, Locke even suspected that the Dark Evil King might suddenly amplify the dark voice in his ears at any moment, forcing him to say his name.
Douglas chanted an incantation again, summoning a ball of flame in his hand. The flame condensed into a spear, which he wielded like a puppet in a shadow play, and attacked him.
Behind him is the Dark Lord, who manipulates the dark threads that bind him.
Above this shadow puppet theater, many demons and monsters that only exist in the dark world gradually gathered. They stared wide-eyed in the darkness and then began to laugh loudly.
"Hahahaha...fighting amongst themselves..."
"That was brilliant. The dramas orchestrated by the Dark Evil King are always the most spectacular. When will we finally see the Dark Evil King himself enter the shadow play and become the protagonist? That will be the most exciting moment."
"Killing each other...killing each other..."
Locke frowned and looked up at the pairs of scarlet eyes in the dark spaces on the stage.
"Strange."
"But I must find a way to escape this shadow puppet show space, otherwise, to them, I'm like a figure in a painting. What can a figure in a painting talk about escaping?"
But the last time I was able to escape, it was because the fourth-circle truth wizard of the Wizarding World personally intervened.
and many more……
Locke suddenly remembered that when the Truth Wizard, whose identity was unknown, made his move, he actually created three fruits that resembled pine cones.
I've only used one. I should still have two left.
Locke immediately summoned the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow and flew into the sky.
The Dark Evil King immediately stretched out his left hand in displeasure, and countless dark threads fell towards Locke.
"Everyone in the shadow puppet show should be under my control, and you should kill each other too."
The Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow behind Locke streaked across the dark sky like a fiery red flame.
Immediately afterwards, Locke tied a pine cone to the second ring of sea gold sand, and then used [One Tree Cannot Support] to turn the sea gold sand into a golden fern spear, which he then sent toward the dark evil king.
The Dark Evil King continued to utter a contemptuous sound, born from his absolute power.
The power he projected from afar was gradually breaking through the solar ring level, which meant that his true form was rapidly approaching this place.
Once his true form arrives, there's no point in continuing this game.
However, he could actually end the game right now. His Sun Ring level magic pressure was enough to crush the young wizard in front of him. But he had suffered too much at the hands of the young wizard's elder before, and now he wanted to get revenge all at once.
Naturally, Locke could not be given a quick death.
"Let me think about what kind of position I should give you in the Dark World from now on."
The next moment, the Dark Evil King's eyes widened, because Locke's attack on the Golden Fern Spear suddenly turned into a white light, which abruptly passed through his huge silhouette-like true form in the darkness.
His enormous true form, which resembled the silhouette of a mountain in the darkness, let out a miserable scream, then knelt down on one knee and cried out in pain.
A large amount of blood flowed out.
Countless dark voices emerged from his blood, transforming into countless demons and monsters that headed towards the distant dark world.
"This...whose power is this? This is not your power, wizard. Your victory is dishonorable!"
"mean!"
The Dark Evil King's true form was severely injured by Locke's magic. The former fourth-ring wizard had transformed the Dark Evil King's power into three pine cones, which were specifically designed to counter his power.
Last time, that pine cone only destroyed the Dark Evil King's shadow puppet theater.
But this time, Locke fired the pine cone directly at his true form, which was shrouded in darkness.
The Dark Evil King was naturally severely injured.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Locke retrieved the sea gold sand, left a trail of fire in the sky, then returned to the ground, grabbed Douglas by the shoulder, and slammed him directly into the edge of the shadow puppet space.
At this moment, because the Dark Great Evil King's main body was severely injured, the Shadow Play Space was extremely fragile. Under Locke's impact with the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow, a crack appeared.
The dragon tail behind the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow transformed into a fiery whip and lashed out, shattering the space.
Locke rushed out from among them.
The various demons and monsters in the sky, whose origins were unknown, laughed and joked. They were just spectators, and as spectators, they were happy whether the Dark Evil King or Locke and his group suffered setbacks in this drama.
These are the creatures of the dark world!
In the darkness, the Great Evil King of Darkness became extremely angry, and he stood up from the ground.
"hateful."
"Damn wizard..."
"Don't even think about escaping. You've already entered my dark world, do you really think you can escape? I will never let you go. I'm going to put you in my grandest shadow play and have you perform for the big shots of the Tower of the Sun!"
The Dark Evil King felt that he could accept being humiliated by a Sun Ring Wizard before, but now he was being humiliated by an ordinary Second Ring Wizard. He immediately forced himself to stand up and tried to catch up with Locke and Douglas.
Locke, meanwhile, flew through the skies above that ruined world, pondering how to escape this dark and desolate realm.
The demons and monsters in the sky revealed pairs of scarlet eyes, watching Locke fly around aimlessly like a headless fly; they were all just watching the show.
We await the final fate of these two unexpected travelers who stumbled into the dark world.
Locke's eyes grew increasingly resolute. The more desperate the situation, the more determined he became. No matter what, he was determined to find a glimmer of hope in this cutting-edge exploration area, which was equivalent to the new shipping route.
"The dimensional portal has been severed by the dark power of the Dark Great Evil King. This world has completely fallen into the Dark World, and it's unclear whether it's on the edge or at the center of the Dark World. Even if I were to fly out of this world now, I would directly enter the Dark World, so how could I possibly fly out?"
"If all else fails, we'll have to find a way to protect the two clones. We'll have to abandon the main body for now."
Locke, who was holding Douglas, suddenly spoke, but at that moment his eyes gleamed, and Douglas's face showed a vicissitude that did not match his age.
“Locke, Douglas… no, it is my magical radiance that must be taken back from the darkness, or I will never be able to leave the dark world. Of course, you can leave now.”
Locke's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Douglas in his hand.
He let Douglas go.
Because at this moment, it is King Lagmamon who is manipulating this body.
Even the Dark Evil King in the distance was stunned.
How can a servant manipulated by darkness still have autonomy?
"wrong."
"You are not him."
"Who are you? Damn wizards, are you trying to steal my Heartbreak Flower again?"
Even the Dark Lord felt he had been deceived, otherwise why would the soul of a high-ring wizard follow two low-ring wizards into the Dark World?
What kind of conspiracy is this?
Douglas calmly looked at Locke and said, "I can temporarily stop the Great Lord of that dark world and open a dimensional portal, but you must help me at the critical moment to reclaim Douglas's magical radiance and bring his body back to the wizarding world."
“These creatures of the dark world dare not follow us to the wizarding world.”
"But I only have the strength for one strike at this moment."
"May I?"
Locke nodded knowingly. "Okay."
At this moment, the Dark Evil King suddenly burst into laughter, and his true form had arrived.
At least his delaying tactics were successful.
Once the original body arrives, everything will be resolved.
At this moment, the Dark Great Evil King exuded an evil aura, and his true form also brought with it some of his demonic and monster legions.
The Dark Evil King burst into laughter.
At that moment, 'Douglas' turned to look at him, his eyes calm, and took a step forward.
"Without this young friend beside me, I truly wouldn't have the strength to fight you. But if I borrow his power..."
At this moment, Douglas waved his hand, and the Moon of Evolution appeared behind Locke. At the same time, his own dragon bloodline boiled, the Dragon Rose flew out automatically, and the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow flew back to the Forest Sanctuary.
The sun and moon are in perfect harmony!
A magical kingdom appeared beneath Douglas's feet, spreading out irrationally across this dark world from the base of his toes.
There were countless lightning bolts behind him.
Douglas, with his hands behind his back, said, “I’ve heard of a wizard called Lord Thunder King who thinks he’s ahead of his time, invincible, and has never been defeated. Alas, it’s a pity that there are no heroes in this era, and that such a scoundrel has become famous.”
“Hey native of the dark world, watch closely, this is my lightning magic.”
'Douglas' draws upon the torrent of life energy from the plane beneath his feet, compressing the lightning energy within the kingdom's domain, continuously compressing it.
Even the Lord of Darkness felt fear.
Because this is no longer a game of "fishing in a pond".
Previously, whether he was dealing with Trajan or other wizards, it was always a three-ring fight against a two-ring fight, and he also had the home-field advantage, so it was naturally incredibly easy for him to fight however he wanted.
Even if I suffer a little loss, since I have a lot of health, it's not a big deal.
But now the Dark Lord has realized that the other party seems to be of the same level as him.
The Dark Lord took a few steps back. "You...who are you? Who are you all?"
"Why is there the power of the Black Sun Tower here? What is your relationship with the Black Sun Tower?"
At this moment, all the demons and monsters in the darkness were terrified.
They no longer had the intention of being mere spectators.
The moment Locke revealed his dragon bloodline, all the demons and monsters of the dark world felt fear, terror, and panic. The Tower of the Black Sun was the former overlord of the dark world, and now its tyrant.
They can no longer watch the play.
Douglas chanted a spell, and a scarlet lightning bolt fell like a whirlwind—it was a third-ring Attila's Chain Lightning.
In an instant, the lightning bolt fell from the sky, striking the Great Evil King of Darkness, and at the same time transformed into a chain of lightning that swept towards all the demons and monsters in the darkness.
The extremely compressed lightning energy exploded.
Locke looked back at the center of this world, where a withered peach tree stood, along with a... World Leaf.
Locke was able to notice this because the Witch King forcibly extracted the life energy of this world, which forced the World Tree leaf to appear, allowing him, who was very sensitive to the World Tree's power system, to discover this.
"Douglas" said, "Locke..."
Locke shook the Great Roaring Dragon Sparrow behind him, leaving a trail of fire in the air, and then used Golden Wheat to steal the magical radiance of Douglas from the right hand of the Dark Great Evil King.
Immediately afterwards, amidst the terrified cries of the demons and monsters, he rushed into the dimensional gate.
