Chapter 2032: Controlling the Situation, the Abyssal Tumor

But the next moment, the originally indifferent expression on Aleikesa's face suddenly revealed a trace of astonishment, followed by a trace of panic, yet he had no time to make any move.

A beam as thick as a water barrel, devoid of any color, shot straight down from the Secret Ritual Chamber on the second floor, instantly "vaporizing" the massive lower body of Luke's Demon Form along with the floor of the already abyssalized Midian hall further below without any obstruction.

The next moment, endless light burst forth; this purest light, erupted from the annihilation of matter, was neither Holy Light nor specifically targeted at demons, yet it possessed a lethality to demons comparable to Holy Light.

The edges of Luke's vaporized lower body, reaching nearly half a foot deep into his flesh, were tainted by this endless light and turned into a mottled, gemstone-like texture; perhaps this was the unique "scorched" mode of the 【Annihilation Light】!

"┗|｀O′|┛Awoo——"

A painful howl erupted from Luke's mouth, and large swathes of Abyssal Aura dissipated from his mouth and the wounds on his lower body, but considering the possibility of collateral damage, the first wave of strikes automatically issued by the Floating City was not at its strongest state, but rather a lower-energy beam mode.

The power was limited after all; although a hole a circle thicker than a water barrel was pierced through Luke's lower body and nearly half a foot around it was gem-ified, its mass remained, so while it counted as a heavy injury, it was far from fatal.

However, Xia Duo's goal had been achieved, even better than he had anticipated; he had originally only intended to destroy the functional facilities in the lower level of this Mo Yi Midian through the 【Annihilation Light】 beam.

Although he had clearly set the target and angle of the strike, the War Spell controlled by the Floating City Mythallar lacked sufficient precision, resulting in a slight deviation.

Fortunately, it did not miss, but instead destroyed a core functional facility of the Midian.

Xia Duo immediately contacted the Floating City that had already descended to the Main Plane, using himself as a reference to guide the 【Annihilation Light】 to fire again; at the same time, the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 descended upon this place without exception.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye; whether it was the group led by Tailun who had never seen a Floating City strike with their own eyes, or Aleikesa who had been stunned by the sudden strike just moments ago, before they could react, an even stronger light erupted.

But because of the added 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 separating the space, although the second round of strikes was more powerful than the first, the visible destruction caused was much less than before.

In the entire hall, only the body below Luke's head was "vaporized"; as for the others, whether it was Aleikesa standing on Luke's head or the other Demon Descendant Mages in demon form who had just been squeezed to the edge of the hall by Luke's massive demon body, none suffered any harm.

Of course, there was probably some psychological trauma!

At this moment, the arrogant and wild look on Aleikesa's face from when he shouted "Hunting Time" was completely gone, replaced only by full-blown terror and bewilderment, as if he still hadn't reacted even now.

But after gaining control of the situation, there was not much joy on Xia Duo's face; for the Floating City, this level of battle result was easy, and the two rounds of strikes just now were not perfect.

Not to mention the first time, as it was automatically issued by the Floating City, it was understandable that there was a large deviation, and the result was still quite good.

But the second time, although the strike precision had improved significantly with the assistance of the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】, the effect was not ideal.

Watching the giant demon head below rapidly filling with the Void and still continuously drawing Abyssal Aura from the ground to recover itself, Xia Duo, Tailun, and the others all fell into silence.

——【Wide-Area Prohibition·Guangyu Forbidden Restriction·Fengge Kongjian】!

The next moment, Luke's remaining demon head was partitioned into an independent space, but on the ground—perhaps it could no longer be called ground, but an abyssal mire recovering from the Void—it was still continuously spewing out thick Abyssal Aura.

And the independently stored Luke head, even though it was far from the Abyssal Aura, did not perish and was even slowly recovering, though the current recovery speed was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, and compared to just before, it was almost negligible.

"Lord Xia Duo, what is that below—" Tailun looked at the scene below in disbelief and muttered.

"Do I even need to say it! It's a fully formed Shenyuan Zhidi! You Elves should know more about this than us humans!"

Xia Duo never expected that even a means like annihilating space into the Void could not completely eradicate a formed Shenyuan Zhidi; could it be that only Holy Light could be used?

"Lord Puman, please try summoning Holy Light to see if you can suppress the Shenyuan Zhidi below."

Compared to Elves, humans were better at summoning Holy Light; after all, most Netherese believed in the Lord of Radiance and had studied Holy Light spells extensively, and even Xia Duo could use a few tricks, but he needed to control the Floating City at all times and could not afford to be distracted.

Of course, the Holy Light spells here referred only to Positive Energy spells, not the Holy Power obtained by Priests through their Perception of the Lord of Radiance; the two were fundamentally different.

But in dealing with chaotic forces, the difference between the two was actually not large; it was just that a Priest's upper limit was tied to a god, and if Mages or Arcanists couldn't handle a chaotic force, finding a Priest might just work.

Puman was not a Priest, but as a Netherese, he was relatively familiar with Positive Energy spells even if he hadn't studied them specifically; hearing Xia Duo's reminder, he cast a spell to summon a Positive Energy Channel above the formed Shenyuan Zhidi.

A continuous stream of Positive Energy poured out from the Inner Plane, and upon contacting the Abyssal Aura that was also continuously spewing out, it was like water meeting fire, or like a flame igniting combustible gas, erupting into a violent conflict.

It seemed that the Positive Energy had the upper hand, constantly cleansing the pollution of the Abyssal Aura, but even with an endless pour of Positive Energy, it could not cause any substantial change to the Shenyuan Zhidi spewing Abyssal Aura below.

It only purified a small amount of Abyssal Aura, and under the stimulation of the Positive Energy, the Shenyuan Zhidi, which had only been expanding slightly, actually began to expand even faster.

And the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 was not a true separation of space, but merely formed a separation effect similar to the Near-at-Hand World's End; the actual space remained unified and continuous, which meant the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 could not truly isolate the Shenyuan Zhidi.

If left unchecked, it might not take long before it expanded to an uncontrollable point.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but frown; although the location of this Midian was in the coastal area south of Yilfalang and east of Shaerwen, it was clear that if left unchecked, the entire Main Plane could potentially be eroded by the Abyss.

"Mage Tailun, Consultant Suweilisi, how do you Elves usually handle this kind of situation?"

If the Elves could handle it, Xia Duo still hoped to let the Elves deal with it, but the several Elf Mages did nothing but remain silent and frown, unable to say a word.

Their attitude made Xia Duo very unhappy, especially Suweilisi, who was still pretending to be in disbelief; was the psychological endurance of the Yilisier Mianwang's consultant really so fragile!

"Consultant Suweilisi, Mage Kesita, the Shenyuan Zhidi here was summoned by Aleikesa and Luke; your two countries cannot shirk responsibility! And Mage Tailun, this area is close to Yilfalang; to prevent the situation from developing into an uncontrollable state, we must find a solution as soon as possible!"
