Chapter 1517

With a *Boom*, the flames on the Grand Duke of Hellfire surged, and a strong aura centered on him spread in all directions.

The surrounding buildings and ground quickly turned into magma under the Grand Duke of Hellfire's power, and only the area behind Luo Feng and his group was able to escape the disaster for the time being.

"Hmm, as expected of a crown forged from the embers of the world destroyed by Nanook."

"But if you keep using it like this, won't this crown shatter directly after you finish using it?"

Luo Feng rested his chin on one hand and asked leisurely.

It was as if the Grand Duke of Hellfire opposite him was not his enemy, but his friend.

Seeing that Luo Feng did not take out any suspected weapons like chips or Tarot cards, the Grand Duke of Hellfire had to temporarily stop his plan to activate the Crown of Tofet.

"Are you planning to seize the Crown of Tofet on my head?"

The Grand Duke of Hellfire asked.

"Exactly!"

Luo Feng nodded without evasion:

"One of the purposes of my coming here this time is to settle the matter of you making wild claims at the Herta Space Station to find trouble with me."

"The second purpose is for the invitation to Penacony in your hand, and the third is for your Crown of Tofet."

"After all, this thing looks quite nice and is a good weapon."

"Hah!" The Grand Duke of Hellfire sneered and said:

"You, an Emanator of Trailblaze, actually want the Crown of Tofet?"

"Could it be that besides the Path of Memory, the Path of Preservation, and the Path of Trailblaze,"

"you are also involved in the Path of Destruction?"

The Grand Duke of Hellfire shook his head and continued:

"It's useless! Even if you are really involved in the Path of Destruction, you have no way to use the Crown of Tofet freely."

"It was lifted by my own hands and molded using the unique flames of the fire demons."

"The only person who can use it is me. If an outsider forces it, it will instantly shatter, turning into a terrifying natural disaster that swallows the person forcing it."

"No, there is fundamentally no possibility of anyone else being able to use the Crown of Tofet; it was born with me and will die with me."

"In this world, no one can sever the connection between it and me. Except for me."

Hearing this, Luo Feng touched his chin and said:

"In other words, as long as the connection between you and the Crown of Tofet is severed, it won't self-destruct upon your death?"

"You want to sever the connection between me and it?" The Grand Duke of Hellfire laughed in anger and said:

"It's useless, no matter if you use the power of Memory, Preservation, or Trailblaze, you cannot sever the connection between me and it."

Luo Feng curled his lips upward, summoned the long sword that came with the Acheron template, and said:

"How can you know without trying?"

【Kamisato Ayaka: A sword?】

【Wriothesley: It's truly rare; this is the first time I've seen Mr. Luo Feng take out a weapon like a sword.】

【Thoma: Previously, Mr. Luo Feng always used flame spears, long swords, or spells. I thought Mr. Luo Feng wasn't good at using sword-type weapons.】

【Morax: By general rational standards, Mr. Luo Feng can use any weapon.】

【Cloud Retainer: After all, Mr. Luo Feng has an extremely strong learning talent; it seems as long as it's an ability he's interested in, he can learn it. Martial arts are included.】

【Kujou Sara: This sword seems somewhat similar to the Shogun's sword... Wait, could it be that Luo Feng secretly learned the "Musou no Hitotachi"?】

【Mavuika: The Raiden Shogun's slash is indeed powerful, but is it special enough for Mr. Luo Feng to learn it?】

【Kujou Sara: Or... perhaps it's because he's interested in the realm contained within the "Musou no Hitotachi"?】

………………

Luo Feng stared deeply at the Crown of Tofet burning with raging flames on the Grand Duke of Hellfire's head.

Although games and reality are different,

since the Grand Duke of Hellfire's crown can appear as a relic in the *Star Rail* game,

it means this thing is likely to be preserved after the Grand Duke of Hellfire dies.

Considering that in the game, it was Acheron who used the power of Nihility to slay the Grand Duke of Hellfire,

Luo Feng had reason to believe that using the power of Nihility could sever the connection between the Grand Duke of Hellfire and the Crown of Tofet.

"Arrogant! If you can do it, come and try."

The Grand Duke of Hellfire whispered, and the Crown of Tofet on his head suddenly ignited a huge pillar of fire that shot into the sky.

Since Luo Feng had taken out a sword, the Grand Duke of Hellfire didn't intend to continue talking nonsense.

"You're truly in a hurry. Don't you want to ask me if I'm going to draw my sword first?"

"This script doesn't quite match, does it?"

Luo Feng shook his head and placed his hand on the hilt of the long sword.

Seeing this, the Grand Duke of Hellfire was about to fully ignite the Crown of Tofet.

However, not wanting to see the Crown of Tofet shatter due to the Grand Duke of Hellfire's overuse, he naturally didn't intend to give the Grand Duke of Hellfire such an opportunity.

"Four-Phase Severance!"

*Hum! *

As Luo Feng's voice fell, the entire world instantly plunged into black and white.

Before anyone could react, they saw a red light sweep across the Grand Duke of Hellfire's body.

Then, the black and white dissipated, and the flames stalled.

The Grand Duke of Hellfire looked at Luo Feng standing in front of him; he still maintained the posture of drawing his sword, as if he hadn't moved at all.

But the Grand Duke of Hellfire knew that Luo Feng's slash had already swept across him, severing his vitality, and even severing the connection with the Crown of Tofet that he thought was impossible to sever.

"So... there is such a power?"

"You... are not just an Emanator... of Trailblaze..."

"... Ni... hility..."

The flames on the Grand Duke of Hellfire burned out, his voice barely audible.

His body broke into two sections at the waist.

And then, in the process of falling, it turned into specks of residue.

Only the Crown of Tofet, which fell from the air into Luo Feng's hand, remained intact.

"As expected, this power can sever the connection between you and the Crown of Tofet."

Luo Feng felt the power of the Crown of Tofet and cast his gaze toward the residue left by the Grand Duke of Hellfire, saying:

"How did that saying go... Right!"

"May death end your long dream and lead you back to a clear world."

【Dori: What? How did the Grand Duke of Hellfire become two sections all of a sudden? No, now there's not even any residue left!】

【Mountain Shaper: Just... what just happened? This immortal didn't see it clearly at all?】

【Xingqiu: Even the adepti didn't see it clearly?】

【Mavuika: Mr. Luo Feng seemed to swing a sword!】

【Cloud Retainer: Indeed! What a powerful slash. In that instant, it was as if the entire world turned black and white, leaving only the scarlet slash produced by Mr. Luo Feng's sword.】
