Chapter 235

Demon's Eye

Opening his right eye filled with dark power, he fully unleashed the hidden magic — this was Hades' final trump card.

After activating the Demon's Eye, Hades was able to erupt with power several times his original.

"It seems you really can never look down on anyone, no matter when."

Watching this scene, Lin Cheng, who was controlling Blackbeard, sighed inwardly.

Although he clearly knew Hades' true strength was extremely great, from the looks of it now, Lin Cheng was certain he had still somewhat underestimated the other.

At the very least, he had never encountered magic as powerful as Hades', and even the earlier Ulfheim was far inferior before Hades.

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

In his fury, Hades instead calmed down,

but the members of the Seven Retainers of Purgatory who knew Hades well all knew that beneath that calm surface lurked an incomparably terrifying rage!

At this, Blackbeard's expression remained unchanged,

"No matter, you won't get the chance again anyway."

Seeing Hades, who looked peaceful on the surface but was in fact furious to the extreme, Blackbeard showed little change, and instead spoke up in mockery.

"After all, the dead can't move."

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

"Next, I will show you the abyss of magecraft!"

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

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

Bang—!

Darkness collided, but this time, unexpectedly, the magic Hades released was not directly erased by the Dark-Dark Fruit's ability, but was shrinking at a slow pace.

However, it was not over yet.

The next second, Hades fired several more magic beams in succession; under the multi-stage assault, the black mist was actually pierced straight through.

Boom—!

The magic exploded, and a violent gust of wind erupted outward.

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

In fact, even though he knew Hades' strength after activating the Demon's Eye was very great, he had never imagined it could be strong enough to counter the Dark-Dark Fruit's special ability.

If Lin Cheng had not controlled the puppet in time at the critical moment, the puppet would already have been injured.

"Magic that's almost nearly solidified at such high concentration?"

Lin Cheng, who was controlling the Blackbeard puppet, was inwardly somewhat shocked.

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

Moreover, he himself had never imagined that, when facing Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit, there was still such a way to break through it.

Through Lin Cheng's development, Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit could almost perfectly absorb the majority of attacks — that was correct — and even erase them.

But the process of erasing was not a direct erasure; rather, there was a slow process, and during this process the energy still existed.

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

"As expected of the president of the Demon Guild."

Lin Cheng, who had some vague guesses in his heart, truly sighed in admiration of Hades.

Compared to Brunort and 'Wu', Hades — whether in magic or in intellect — had unquestionably reached a height that the vast majority of people could never touch.

Looking across the entire Ishugar, the number of people who could compare with him absolutely did not exceed five!

"However, my strength is not limited to just this much."
