Volume 2 The Birth of the Demon King Chapter 132 Reckless Decision
During the battle just now, Emil was only focused on showing off the results of these days' training, so he couldn't think of a suitable way to break Cornes' invincible state.
After the barrier that was enough to withstand all magic attacks came into effect, he finally calmed down and soon thought of a solution.
Since Cornes' body is now in the state of water, it is true that no matter how powerful the attack is, it is useless, but what if it is evaporated by high temperature?
Neither of them knew fire-based magic, and Emil suddenly thought of Lilith's dragon breath.
When he thought about this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because since the last time Blackpool Town was attacked by demons, he rarely relied on Lilith's power anymore.
Although Lilith rarely participates in battles, which can guarantee her safety to a certain extent, the dragon, as the strongest creature on the mainland, will never be complacent about such a thing. What's more, Lilith is inherently hostile due to her life experience.
This kind of thing is very sensitive.
So, with a hint of apology, Emil released Lilith from the ring.
A huge creature suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Cornes forgot about it for a moment and was actually startled.
"Haha, I almost forgot, you also have a dragon."
"It's good to know. Next, I'll let you taste the dragon's breath." After Emil said this, he directed Lilith to attack.
"Don't you understand? In my current state, any attack is useless."
Emil stopped responding. He wanted to see Cornes' embarrassed expression after being slapped in the face.
The next second, scorching flames suddenly enveloped Cornes. He did not realize that something was wrong at first, so in order to show that he was still invincible and thus dampen Emil's spirit, he actually withstood the blow head-on.
.
By the time he understood the seriousness of the matter, it was already too late. His body began to evaporate at an extremely fast speed, and almost half of it turned into water mist.
He quickly used magic to restore the collapsed body tissues, but it could not stop the evaporation process at all. After a while, he completely disappeared.
Seeing that Cornes was defeated by such a little trick, Ophelia was a little unbelievable. When Emil told her that she had come up with a solution, she thought it would be such a sophisticated tactic, but it turned out that she had not thought of it before.
"Haha, I keep chattering away. I thought it was so awesome, is this it?" Ophelia crossed her arms and said leisurely.
"Something's wrong, try using your magic sense again." Emil suddenly said with a serious face.
"……What?"
Ophelia could clearly sense a powerful magic reaction appearing nearby. She looked around, but couldn't find anything for the moment.
"Could that guy still survive if he turns into water vapor?"
"Probably not, look there."
Emil pointed to a place more than a hundred meters away, and saw a dark figure appearing there. Because he was too thin, it was naturally difficult to detect.
"Is that... another Dark Knight?" Ophelia murmured, but she soon overturned this conjecture, because there was only one Dark Knight's magic traces here from beginning to end.
"This breath is another Cornes, but how is this possible?"
Emil looked solemn. He thought that what Cornes just said was just a bluff, but he didn't expect that there was actually a substitute.
Next, the dark figure inhaled a stream of water vapor into the body. If you guessed correctly, the other party was devouring Cornes, and over a period of time, the black shadow transformed into Cornes.
Look.
He originally had ten substitutes existing at the same time, but only one was sent here to hunt down Emil and others, while the others went to prepare for the war.
Cornes never expected that his substitute would be defeated by Emil, so he had no choice but to send another one out.
Now this is a container being raised. As smart as Cornes, he will always leave a way out for himself, so when all the previous containers became like him, he had to raise new ones.
At this moment, facing Cornes, who had countless substitutes, Emil couldn't help but feel powerless.
From this point of view, there are not just four Dark Knights, but more. How can we fight this?
"Think about those things later, Cornes seems to be serious about it." Ophelia suddenly reminded.
Emil quickly looked over and saw that Cornes had transformed from a short old man into a burly, heavily armed man, and he was preparing some kind of large-scale magic.
Because he had restored the image of a monster, Cornes no longer needed a magic circle when he released magic, so Emil didn't know what he was doing specifically, nor did he know the scope of this attack.
Cornes raised the huge magic sword, and then, a huge blue light group wrapped around it.
"Hmph, these are really troublesome guys. They cost me a precious substitute. I'll let you pay for it with your lives."
Emil did not dare to neglect at all, and quickly used the invisibility barrier he used just now. This barrier is specially designed to block magic, so it can definitely prevent Cornes's move.
Immediately afterwards, the water-attributed magic light flew toward them, and its power was so powerful that a ravine was drawn on the ground wherever it passed.
Emil was worried that one barrier would be difficult to resist, so he injected more magic power into the barrier, and he created three of the same barriers at once, surrounding himself, Ophelia, and the town behind him.
The next moment, the light group was in direct contact with the barrier, but it turned out that it really failed to prevent it. Emil could clearly feel that the outermost barrier was collapsing.
Just like glass being smashed, it only lasted for a few seconds before the outermost barrier turned into countless magic fragments. The strange thing is that these magic fragments can even be absorbed by the light group, because the group of things emits
A stronger magic trace.
"Damn it, can't you stop it?"
Ophelia watched as the first barrier cracked, and the second one gradually cracked, and she suddenly felt as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
However, at this moment, she noticed a problem. When Cornes released this magic, his own magic level became very low, and the most important thing was that his current body was obviously not invincible.
So, without saying a word, she prepared to use scarlet piercing, aiming directly at Cornes' head.
At this time, Cornes did not notice Ophelia's actions at all, but focused all his energy on Emil.
His magic level is very high, and the barrier he created is also very strong. If Cornes hadn't used a lot of magic power in this move and almost hollowed himself out, his attack would still have been blocked by the barrier.
Therefore, when Ophelia's figure suddenly appeared in front of Cornes, he was startled again, and then relied on his body to instinctively try to avoid the attack.
But it was obviously too late, because he suddenly realized that Ophelia's sword skill could not be avoided, so in the next moment, he was hit by the scarlet piercing again.
"Hmph, are you still alive now?"
"Pfft——"
As his body was penetrated, Cornes vomited out a mouthful of blood.
Because the experience of being evaporated by the dragon's breath just now made him never dare to become that "invincible state" again, so it was natural that he could not escape the fate of being hit at this time.
However, although Cornes quickly lost his life reflexes, the huge blue light group did not disappear, but continued to impact Emil's only two remaining barriers.
Maybe the owner died and the light group became a little unstable, but it has some kind of attack instinct like a living creature.
"This is too outrageous. Even if the main body is not dead, at least the substitute who released this magic is dead."
"Haha, it's really outrageous." Emil smiled bitterly, and he had no choice but to continue to support the barrier.
Fortunately, he still has a lot of magic power reserves in his body. As long as Cornes doesn't send any more substitutes, he can still resist it.
Ophelia had no choice but to stand aside and watch, feeling anxious at the same time.
"It's okay, Ophelia, you'd better check around to make sure that Cornes hasn't sent a new substitute." Emil's forehead was covered with sweat, but he still comforted her.
"No need, I have confirmed that the traces of Cornes' magic power have completely disappeared."
"Really? That's good," Emil breathed a sigh of relief. As long as no one intervenes, he still has a way to deal with the light group, and that is to use teleportation magic.
However, he still had concerns, because he did not have a different space like Anne and could only transfer to the real world, but he did not arrange the magic circle as the end point in advance.
The only places that were marked were a few places in Blackpool Town. He couldn't move such dangerous things into the town.
But there is no way to remain in a stalemate like this. Every time the light group breaks through a barrier, it will absorb the magic power of the fragments, making it larger and more difficult to deal with.
Ophelia couldn't help but think that it would be great if Annie were here, and she could transfer the light group to a different space.
Just as he was worried, Lilith suddenly appeared in front of Emil. She seemed to be planning to help Emil block the impact of the light ball.
It was this move that inspired Emil. He didn't know how to stop this light group, but generally speaking, it would disappear as long as it hit the target.
Obviously, the target of the light group is Emil himself. What will happen if he takes this blow head-on?
Although this approach is stupid, when there is no other way, he can only choose to do this.
Within this month, he followed Annie and learned ten kinds of magic, including treatment, strengthening, defense and attack.
Therefore, in order to allow himself to withstand the attack of the light group and reduce the damage as much as possible, he decided to use several kinds of magic.
First, he strengthened his physique and increased his body's defense, and then maximized the power of treatment. In order to ensure success, he did not hesitate to sacrifice all the magic power in his body.
He did not tell Ophelia about his decision. After all, everyone knew that this kind of behavior was very dangerous, and it would be the same as committing suicide if he was not careful. But at the moment, there seemed to be no other choice.
So, after being mentally prepared, he quietly stopped injecting magic power into the barrier and allowed the huge ball of light to hit him.
And in order to prevent Lilith from being hit in front of him, he used the ring to take her in in advance.
The next second, Emil was enveloped in a ball of light. However, after personal contact, he realized that he had thought too simplistically.
