Chapter 280: Talismans (1000+)

"The force behind the Magician is the 'Desire Spirit Sect'..."

Looking at the pitch-black tide submerging the graveyard and the many statues, the giant thorn tree within the tide, and that blood-red giant, Aaron understood many things in an instant.

At this moment, a pitch-black, viscous color sealed the void like petroleum, preventing him from returning to the Mortal World.

The Scarlet giant had no facial features, its blurred face looking slightly downward, as if observing an ant.

Aaron felt the pressure from the level of the Primordial Substance.

This leader of the 'Desire Spirit Sect', the 'False God of Suffering', had clearly unlocked the six great Primordial Substances; he was a true 'Crowned One'! Without a doubt, he stood at the pinnacle of the Mortal World, an indisputable big shot.

And he himself had only unlocked three Primordial Substances; even while manipulating Aokelaier, it was only equivalent to unlocking the Fourth Primordial Substance. Given that the gap between Primordial Substances grows larger the further one goes, this massive disparity was clearly difficult to bridge.

The blood-red giant suddenly lowered its head, sensing a trace of something different.

'Shounan Fengqing' high-end restaurant, inside a private room.

"That powerful Magician, who could toy with the Investigation Bureau, is dead?"

'His goal... is still the 'Iron Crown'. So the Magician didn't just pick an item at random? The 'False God of Suffering' values it even more than the remains of a Non-human Existence?'

That tiny ant was not only able to resurrect, but also mobilized Ether and Spirituality that could make him take notice!

"Scarlet!"

Aokelaier uttered a word in Spirit World Language, activating the high-level Talisman in his hand.

'It is possible that Gelin Bote might be discovered as a fake identity for Aaron Yugesi, but in fact, Aaron Yugesi is also just a fake identity... I am fine, but I need to send a letter to remind relevant people to be careful.'

Inside the carriage, Aaron closed his eyes, reviewing everything that happened today.

At the moment this thought fell, the body of the Evil Spirit Aokelaier was pierced by a thorn tree that suddenly sprouted from the black tide!

An iron-black thorn tree formed instantly, its branches piercing the illusory body of the Evil Spirit and hanging it up.

This was a trump card Aaron had prepared for this operation, a high-level Talisman made from the remains of the Blood Cup Archbishop's avatar!

It looked as if it were carved from a single piece of dark red crystal, with countless three-dimensional Mysterious symbols wandering inside.

'I am not afraid of official investigations, but in front of that 'False God of Suffering', some things were exposed. Perhaps the identity of the Evil Spirit Aokelaier will be guessed, leading to thoughts of Aaron Yugesi... and that Talisman will 100% attract the Lotus Eater and the Blood Cup Archbishop.'

Last time in the Sotos Ruins, although what was strangled was only an avatar, the opponent's essence was also a 'Crowned One'!

Being both 'Crowned Ones', at least there was no gap in status, so the previous suppression by the Primordial Substance naturally vanished!

'Although I cannot forge that relic into a Magical Item, it is still possible to draw out a portion of its power to make a Talisman, though it is a bit of a waste...'

'Well, anyway, they can only track an Evil Spirit; what does that have to do with me, Mr. Monite?'

'Truly a mortal bumpkin...'

'It is important to keep the spoils today; I will play with you properly in the future.'

'However... that 'False God of Suffering' looked at me earlier, was that the feeling of looking at an ant? Heh... you are the one provoking me; I haven't collected religious taxes in a long time.'

Powerful Ether surged instantly, turning into a tide, circulating around it, resembling an invisible crown.

William saw Aaron's body tremble and he opened his eyes, saying with pleasant surprise: "Mr. Monite, you are back?"

Aaron, having put the Aokelaier skin back on, beckoned, and a dark red Talisman that had fallen to the ground landed in his hand.

Not until there were fluctuations in the Spirit World again and people from the Investigation Bureau came tracking did he slowly disappear with the 'Iron Crown', letting the remaining darkness drown everything...

The 'Secret Source' stirred, and Mysterious power surged out.

When he saw that the dice also flew up, Aaron began to take action.

The 'Evil Spirit' Aokelaier instantly decayed and died rapidly!

William's expression froze, and he followed behind Aaron blankly, checking out and leaving the restaurant.

"Yes." Aaron opened his right hand and saw the Shadow Dice. Although a high-level Talisman was consumed, getting it meant he didn't lose out: "Also... the Magician is dead."

The items on its body, including that relic of 'Shadow', all fell down.

Above the graveyard, the massive 'False God of Suffering' watched this scene for a long time, silent and speechless.

'Even if the identity of Monite is investigated, he only went to visit the exhibition hall today and dined at a nearby restaurant. Many people did this, and there are probably a large number of nobles watching the show in the private rooms of 'Shounan Fengqing'... it is not conspicuous!'

The two walked out of the restaurant, saw the exhibition hall still in a state of chaos and the crowd watching outside, called a carriage, and left the scene low-key.

The 'False God of Suffering's' blockade of the Spirit World was instantly broken!

Seizing this opportunity, the figure of the Evil Spirit Aokelaier vanished without a trace in an instant.

Aaron saw a huge phantom of a blood-colored holy cup emerge, from which pitch-black sludge poured out, breaking through the darkness surrounding the graveyard.

At this time, Aaron saw that on the ground, the black tide parted, and a decaying Iron Crown flew up, hanging on the thorn tree behind the blood-red giant.

Aaron watched this scene coldly in the state of a 'Spirit of Delusion': 'Hmm, now I am certain that a 'Crowned One' of the Sixth Primordial Substance cannot discover me...'

The essence equivalent to the Fourth Primordial Substance was as fragile as paper and could not stop it at all.

He looked at the huge phantom of the False God and suddenly felt a bit eager to try: 'The Spirit of Delusion is a more idealistic existence than a Spirit Body; perhaps I could parasitize him... No, Aokelaier was originally a madman, and then I washed him into a blank slate, which made him easy to control... Rashly entering a conscious Spirit Body might give me the potential danger of schizophrenia!'

At this instant, even the movements of the 'False God of Suffering' seemed somewhat stagnant, as if he had seen an incredible scene.

The crimson Blood Tide surged down, carrying a curse more lethal than the 'Scarlet Noble' and the 'Blood Thirster' Luofuman, and landed on the Evil Spirit.

The next moment, where Aokelaier died, the Evil Spirit reappeared, stretched out its transparent, illusory right hand, and grabbed the Shadow Dice in mid-air.

'Desire Spirit Sect... this False God seems to want to make big news, but it doesn't matter, I like watching big news.'

'His path... can basically be determined to be 'Red' and 'Darkness'... the more I look, the more he looks like a believer of the 'Lord of Hidden Corpses'.'
