Chapter 568 Death
‘They’re controlling these vines? How mystical…’
Clovis immediately felt excited as soon as he saw the strange spell that was aimed at him.
In a brief moment, he released the limit he had placed on himself and was about to test the strength of the vines. After all, he wanted his Incorruptible Body and Half-Celestial Physique.
However, as soon as he did this, he immediately heard Pearl’s voice in his head!
“Hey! I felt your Divinity! Don’t release your charm here! You know what happened to us when we didn’t limit our Divinity, right?!” Pearl shouted in his mind as Clovis immediately suppressed his Half-Celestial Physique.
He recalled how he got strangely attracted to Pearl and vice versa when this thing happened. Even Pearl didn’t expect such a thing to happen since it was also her first time dealing with such a strange phenomenon.
During that time, Clovis was barely able to control himself. The moment he woke up from his trance, he immediately realized the cause of the problem.
It was his physique’s fault.
Well, he knew since the beginning that his Half-Celestial Physique had a “Charm Effect” on others. He confirmed this matter during the Academy Competitions and had to restrict it with his ESP Spell before.
However, as his control of the Divinity got better, and his Incorruptible Body reached the Perfect Realm, he believed that it would no longer be a problem for him.
Unfortunately, he didn’t expect it to be more effective on someone who had a Divinity in their bodies!
It was a strange effect that he didn’t even see coming!
‘It’s probably a curse of the Celestial Bloodline… or perhaps a problem brought by just being Half-Celestial.’ Clovis sighed as he decided to suppress his physique once again.
Although Pearl was quite far from him, the people in the airship might suddenly show attraction to him.
***
‘Fine… I’ll fight without using my physique’s full capability. I’ll fight as a Dark Magician and an Aura Master…’ Clovis thought as his Meridian Access had now reached Level 9 or the Peak of Advanced Realm.
It means that his control over his Aura was already on a different level.
Crack. Crack. Crack.
As the vines were about to entrap him, Clovis waved his hand.
Concealed beneath the guise of the Masked Devil, he confronted the three imposing Druids and reminded himself to only use Dark Arts and Spirit Arts to ensure that his disguise would be perfect.
With a swift gesture, he summoned another batch of Shadow Soldiers to suppress the other gun-wielding Arcanists who were secretly waiting for an opportune moment.
Then, he summoned three Moonlight Specters to hunt the three unusual Arcanists that could control these vines.
The airship’s deck became a battleground of the sentient vine and specters.
Of course, the Masked Devil had to join the fight!
With a flourish of his dagger, Clovis unleashed the Phantom Sword Technique, a dazzling display of combat finesse that sent shimmering arcs of phantom strikes slicing through the air!
He wanted to cut down all the vines that were taking over the airship’s deck.
On the other hand, the Druids saw the Moonlight Specters but didn’t take then seriously.
After all, Specters are still Spirits, and with their Spirit Vines, they should be able to deal with them without any issues.
“These Specters shouldn’t last long…” One of the Druids muttered, undeterred by the incoming foes.
Soon, the three of them channeled nature’s energy within them, conjuring a cyclone of verdant force that surged forth in a mesmerizing display.
Furthermore, the vines they summoned suddenly sprouted some thorns all over!
Then, it seemed that the vines had received a signal as they writhed and surged with a life of their own from the energy they channeled!
The thorny vines started coiling and lashing out at the encroaching Specter relentlessly!
However, as they thought that the Specters would just take the hit or try to defend, they realized that these Specters seemed to have minds of their own as they reacted like experts! 𝒊𝒆.
The Moonlight Specters weaved through the commotion, their ethereal forms pulsating with an otherworldly luminescence as they dodged the thorny vines effortlessly!
Then, they rushed through the Druids in a mesmerizing ghostly movement!
“Retreat!”
The Druids had to back away and control their vines to return close to them.
The Specters continued on their chase and sliced everything that was blocking them!
“These aren’t normal Specters!”
“It must be a Forbidden Art! He used a Sword Expert’s Soul to create them!”
“What?! The Masked Devil is Necromancer?!”
“Yes! There was no way these Specters would be this strong!”
“What?! Then let’s just use our holy talismans!”
The Druids argued as they changed their plans.
In the meantime, Clovis moved with uncanny agility as he started cutting off all the thorny vines that were targeting him. With a deft maneuver, he evaded the serpentine onslaught of the vines.
To be honest, he had been itching to use his Flame Arrow and Ember Spirit Spell to burn the vines.
However, his Masked Devil persona shouldn’t be a Fire Elementalist.
He doesn’t want to break the identity that he made.
In the end, he continued using his Phantom Sword Technique to cut down the vines until they stopped sprouting all over the place.
“Stop! That’s enough!”
As Clovis grew weary of the protracted skirmish and thought of bringing down the Golden Airship, his attention was drawn to the arrival of the mastermind behind the vessel’s operations.
His countenance bore the unmistakable markers of nobility. He was clad in resplendent attire, befitting his position. Intricate tattoos adorned his body, and Clovis was sure that they weren’t for artistic purposes but something else.
‘So he’s not the captain…’ Clovis commented in his mind as he stood still and observed the man.
The nobleman seemed furious as he started shouting at him and blaming him for the death of the three Druids.
“Druids? Ah… They’re dead?”
Clovis was surprised as he immediately glanced toward the Moonlight Specters.
