Chapter 109

"Stop right there!"

Darkness touched; under the Dark-Dark Fruit ability, 'Zero', who was just about to release magic, was dumbfounded!

And in this instant, Blackbeard was less than a few meters away from 'Zero', and Hades had also arrived within a few meters of the two.

Powerful magic power poured out, attempting to save 'Zero' from Blackbeard's hands!

But under the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability, Hades's magic power was instantly swallowed.

"It seems you still haven't seen the situation clearly."

To this, Blackbeard's attack was still launched! It kept expanding in 'Zero's' field of vision!

Puchi—!

Before he could even scream, like Zancrow earlier, Blackbeard's right hand had already pierced 'Zero's' chest!

Afterward, a large wave of blood was brought out as the right hand was pulled out, spilling down.

Bang—!

With a thud, 'Zero's' figure fell in front of Blackbeard, his blood-red eyes revealing a thick sense of fear.

"Whoosh—"

A breeze blew by, bringing a chill.

At this moment, Hades, including the Seven Kin of Purgatory in the airship, couldn't say a word while looking at 'Zero's' corpse.

They, who had originally thought the Master could easily solve the opponent, never thought the event would evolve into such an ending.

Bluenote had fallen, 'Zero' had died miserably at the opponent's hands, and now it was just Hades alone.

From making a move to crushing, he was so strong that even their Master couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

Just how strong is this man who calls himself Blackbeard!

However, just when everyone was stunned, that crazy and terrifying laughter sounded again.

"Ze-hahahahaha!"

"I said it's useless; give up resistance. You're the only one left; you can't be my match."

"Do you choose to die yourself, or should I do it personally?"

"Ze-hahahahaha!!"

The unbridled laughter carried a trace of arrogance; Blackbeard, having dealt with 'Zero', turned his gaze to the last one, Hades.

It was as if in his eyes, Hades, all alone, was already like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

However, although he said so, Lin Cheng, who was controlling Blackbeard, had been carefully observing Hades.

Since the battle in the Hidden Rain Village, he had known that mages who could cross into the Saint Ten level were none of them simple.

Especially after crossing to the Heavenly King level, their strength entered a new level.

People at this level basically all had their own trump cards.

Like Wolfheim last time, when he erupted to his limit, he could even fight back and forth with the S-class rated Pain Nagato.

And Hades, whose strength was even greater than Wolfheim's, was even more so.

Sure enough, when Hades was pushed to his limit, the last bit of reason in his heart was completely swallowed, and he finally tore off the eyepatch on his right eye.

And the moment he tore it off, Hades's true strength was completely released at this moment!

Terrifying and powerful magic power poured out continuously, flowing around Hades's body as if it were substantial.

The magic power was so strong that it seemed the space couldn't withstand it, beginning to tremble violently and emitting layers of ripples.

Accompanied by the appearance of this magic power, the originally clear sky turned completely dark at this moment, and even the clouds above the sky began to churn.

One can imagine how angry Hades was at this time.

Demon Eye

Opening his right eye, which was full of dark power, and completely liberating his hidden magic power, was also Hades's final trump card.

After opening the Demon Eye, Hades could erupt with power several times greater than his original.

"It seems that one really shouldn't underestimate people at any time."

After seeing this scene, Lin Cheng, who was controlling Blackbeard, sighed in his heart.

Although he knew in his heart that Hades's true strength was very powerful, looking at it now, Lin Cheng felt he had still underestimated the opponent.

At least, he had never encountered magic power as strong as Hades's; even Wolfheim earlier was far inferior to Hades.

"I have to say, you are the first person to force me to use this power."

In his rage, Hades instead calmed down.

But the members of the Seven Kin of Purgatory who were familiar with Hades all knew that hidden beneath the calm surface was an incomparably terrifying fury!

To this, Blackbeard's expression remained unchanged.

"It's fine, you won't have a chance in the future anyway."

Seeing Hades, who looked peaceful but was actually extremely angry, Blackbeard didn't change much, instead mocking him.

"After all, dead people don't move."

"Is that so? Perhaps you won't be able to say such things in a moment."

"Next, I will let you see the abyss of magic!"

Hades could no longer hold back; with a wave of his right hand, a dark purple magic beam shot out.

At the same time, Blackbeard raised a black mist barrier!

Bang—!

Darkness collided; however, what was unexpected this time was that the magic power released by Hades was not directly erased by the Dark-Dark Fruit ability, but was shrinking at a slow speed.

However, this was not the end.

The next second, Hades fired several more magic beams; under the multi-stage attack, the black mist was directly pierced through.

Boom—!

Magic power exploded, and violent wind waves erupted.

Looking at the wound on Blackbeard's hand, Lin Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

In fact, even knowing that Hades's strength after opening the Demon Eye was very strong, he had never expected it to be strong enough to counter the special ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

If Lin Cheng hadn't controlled it in time at the critical moment just now, the puppet would probably have been injured.

"High-concentration magic power that is almost substantial?"

Lin Cheng, who was controlling the Blackbeard puppet, was slightly shocked in his heart.

This was the first time he had seen an ability that the Dark-Dark Fruit could not erase!

And he himself had never thought that there would be such a way to crack Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit.

Through Lin Cheng's development, Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit could almost perfectly absorb most attacks, which is true, or even erase attacks.

But the process of erasing was not a direct erasure, but had a slow process, during which energy still existed.

And Hades probably noticed this detail, which is why he compressed and released the powerful magic power obtained after the Demon Eye, to break through the black mist's absorption ability.

"Worthy of being the Master of the Demon Guild."

Lin Cheng, who had some guesses in his heart, truly sighed for Hades.

Compared to Bluenote and 'Zero', Hades's magic power and wisdom had undoubtedly reached a height that most people could not touch.

Such strength, looking at the entire Ishgar, there are definitely no more than five people who can compare to him!

"However, I don't just have this bit of strength."
