Chapter 586: Helper

Inside the seabed spaceship, in the silver-white hall.

Lu Mian, burning with crimson-near-white flames, turned into a fireball and flew toward "Ultraman" Lato Giaro.

That core member of "April Fool's" wasn't panicked at all. Holding his breath, he pushed out his left palm forward.

Lu Mian instantly felt an invisible force pushing himself in the opposite direction, so that the crimson-near-white fireball with amazing speed slowed down instantly, like a worm struggling in a transparent amber.

Seizing this opportunity, Lato Giaro raised his right hand again and gripped his palm.

A mass of scorching, pure sunlight condensed and compressed there, soon turning into a thick and terrifying laser, shooting toward Lu Mian, who was merged into the crimson-near-white fireball.

This was a type of ability born from the combination of the "Sun" pathway and the "Sea" gift, equivalent to using the "Sun" pathway's power to push the "Sea" gift's "Weakening Ray." It no longer had the effect of changing the target's body structure, making them gradually weaken to death, and appearing with various negative symptoms, but whether it was the penetration effect or the melting effect, it was significantly improved and could more effectively and directly severely injure or even kill the target.

For Lato Giaro, being in a closed environment that was filling with poison gas and had other malice coming at any time, naturally, he had to make a quick decision, rather than dragging it out and waiting for Lu Mian Li to weaken slowly. Therefore, he chose the "Sun Ray" instead of the "Weakening Ray."

The "Sun Ray" fell on that crimson-near-white fireball at the speed of a laser, in a posture that couldn't be dodged, directly penetrating it and "melting" a big hole.

That fireball could no longer maintain its own structure and exploded with a boom, sprinkling toward the surroundings like rain.

But Lu Mian wasn't inside. He seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time, behind "Ultraman" Lato Giaro, Lu Mian, wearing the "Lying" earring, had his figure outlined rapidly.

He chose to merge into the fireball and fly toward Lato Giaro at the beginning, just to let the other party use Beyonder abilities and make a counterattack, thereby "fixing" him in the original position, not transferring in advance, creating an opportunity for himself to complete a surprise attack behind the target while in the fireball state.

He wasn't without experience fighting "Sea" gift users, so how could he not be clear that Lato Giaro could rely on the power of the earth and stars to make an object heavy or light, making its speed slow down or get strengthened.

And in order to successfully use "Spirit World Travel" in the fireball state, Lu Mian also borrowed "Lying's" ability to manipulate flames.

As soon as his figure emerged, he immediately opened his mouth and made a short sound toward "Ultraman" Lato Giaro, who was less than two meters away:

"Ha!"

A pale yellow light that seemed like gas sprayed toward that core member of "April Fool's."

Lato Giaro didn't even have time to turn around, only perceiving the danger coming based on a bit of perception of fate obtained from the Beyonder ability "Star Language."

In his eyes, dots of starlight appeared, and he saw several "channels" in the silver-white hall permeated with pale cyan-blue gas that

This was the "Navigation" ability gifted by the sea.

At the same time, Lato Giaro, unsure if he could dodge the strike from behind, also caused the surroundings to be dyed gold, spreading outward layer by layer.

This was the "Purification Halo" of the "Sun" pathway, Sequence 5 "Priest of Light."

Amidst the sound of "Ha," the pale yellow light swept across the back of Lato Giaro, who was dodging toward a certain spot in the void.

This core member of the "April Fools" codenamed "Ultraman" immediately fell into a coma, but his forward momentum did not diminish, and he still dove into that illusory channel involving space and dimensions that normal people could not see.

And Lu Mian, who was less than two meters away from him, did not have time to "Teleport" away and was covered by the "Purification Halo."

His heart felt an instant, sharp pain, as if something wanted to tear his body apart and crawl out from within.

In his ears, he faintly heard those illusory ravings that he did not know came from the existence named Fate, or Mr. "Fool," or perhaps both.

They were not clear, but they still made Lu Mian's brain feel as if it were being pulled by an invisible hand, wanting to drag it out of his skull.

With the endurance of a "Ascetic," Lu Mian could not help but let out a sound of pain, bent his waist and back, fell to the ground, and curled up.

He had had a similar experience before; it was the reaction that appeared after being drenched by the holy water created by Valentine in the dream of Cordu Village, and the "Purification Halo" that Lato Giaro was using now was an advanced version of the "Sun Halo," which had changed from being harmless to also having the effect of part of the Sun's holy water, capable of driving away evil spirits and purifying evil or discordant and incompatible forces within the target's body.

Because of Lato Giaro's coma, the "Purification Halo" flashed and vanished, only initially dissolving the highly toxic gas in this area.

Likewise, the unconscious Lato Giaro could not move forward in the illusory channel, soon broke free, fell with a thud three or four meters in front of Lu Mian, felt a burst of pain, and slowly woke up.

At this moment, Lu Mian also slowly recovered from the severe pain brought by the "Purification Halo."

Just waking up and not yet clear about the specific situation at the scene, Lato Giaro's instinctive reaction was to re-enter that illusory channel and increase the distance between himself and Lu Mian Lee, so as not to be hit again by that ability that resembled "Mental Piercing," or encounter other attacks.

By the time he crawled back to the hall from the exit of the illusory channel, Lu Mian had also raised his head and basically recovered his state, only his forehead was covered in dense cold sweat.

Seeing this scene, Lato Giaro not only felt no regret, disappointment, or remorse, but was instead pleasantly surprised:

It worked!

The "Purification Halo" was useful against Lu Mian Lee!

After confirming that the great adventurer Louis Berry was Lu Mian Lee, Lato Giaro had been thinking about how to deal with him if he were to fight this guy:

It was easy when he had the authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea," just keep throwing the opponent into the "Void Starry Sky" and let him get lost again and again; when he didn't have the authority of the "Viceroy of the Sea," he had to consider how to target Lu Mian Lee's weaknesses.

And the most special thing about Lu Mian Lee was very clear, which was that he had sealing power of the same origin as the Celestial Worthy, and a creature of a very high rank was sealed in his body.

A Beyonder in this state usually had a fake high rank and could enjoy many conveniences, but was very restrained by the abilities of the "Sun" pathway.

In the case of not knowing whether the high-ranking creature sealed in Lu Mian Lee's body was in the realms of evil, corruption, darkness, etc., Lato Giaro was not sure whether abilities like "Sun Halo" and "Purification Slash" would work, and he was not sure how much power the "Purification Halo" could exert; the only thing he could be sure of was that the "Sun Holy Water" produced would have an effect.

Therefore, if the "Purification Halo" did not have a good effect on Lu Mian Lee, he would quickly produce "Sun Holy Water" and keep sprinkling it on the opponent.

Looking at Lu Mian, Lato Giaro smiled and once again dyed the surroundings gold, spreading outward layer by layer.

This sealed environment was really too suitable for using the "Purification Halo"; it would not give Lu Mian Lee any chance to increase the distance to dodge and then "Teleport" close again, and the entire hall was basically within the coverage of the "Purification Halo"!

Moreover, on the spaceship, he didn't have to be afraid that Lu Mian Lee would lose control and become a monster, releasing the high-ranking creature in his body—this level of alien "invasion" would inevitably trigger the spaceship's automatic defense and list the opponent as the primary target; by then, he might even be able to take control of the spaceship through this!

Didn't your sister tell you that Emperor Roselle once said something?

Whatever you rely on to become special and powerful, you will surely be punished for it!

Seeing those layers of gold surging over, Lu Mian raised his right hand, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

Where did he "Teleport" to this time? As long as he was still in the hall, he couldn't escape the "Purification Halo"! Lato Giaro watched the opponent struggle with great certainty and a smile on his face.

Unless Lu Mian Lee chose to leave this hall, it was impossible not to be affected by the "Purification Halo," and in the situation where the spaceship had lowered its barrier, closed the doors, and sealed this place, with the specialty possessed by similar sea power, wanting to "Teleport" out would inevitably require first destroying the surrounding walls or metal doors and creating an exit himself.

For Lato Giaro, this was also a good thing.

No one knew what the spaceship would release in this hall next!

The "Purification Halo" spreading layer by layer quickly "submerged" the position where Lu Mian had originally stood, but nothing happened, and Lu Mian's figure did not appear in the entire silver-white hall.

This... Lato Giaro's eyes narrowed slightly.

Where did Lu Mian Lee go?

Was his "Teleport" ability not affected by the sealed interior of the spaceship?

Inside it, rays of pure light condensed, intersected together, were emitted from the opened entrance, and fell to the edge of the Colorful Flower Ceremony Ship, forming an energy channel like a transparent tunnel.

Lato Giaro's heart stirred, he stretched out his right hand and pulled hard.

The void in the hall was like an invisible curtain, which was pulled slightly, revealing an abnormal area.

That area was close to the corner of two walls, and next to it was a dark hole spewing light cyan-blue gas.

Created an unstable space and hid inside to avoid the "Purification Halo"? Also, the role of the "Purification Halo" was mainly to exorcise, purify, warm, and give courage; it had no substantial attack power and could not destroy the structure of that space... Lu Mian Lee actually still had this ability... Lato Giaro quickly saw through Lu Mian's trick, raised his right hand unhurriedly, and condensed a highly penetrating dark green ray.

At the same time, he also used his initial manipulation of gravity to pull on that fictional-like space.

The dark green ray landed on the pulled place, instantly penetrated into it, and destroyed the structure.

In the silent shattering, the dark green ray continued to move forward and hit a silver-white suit of full-body armor with its back to Lato Giaro.

The dark green ray, which had decayed to a certain extent, disappeared.

That silver-white full-body armor suddenly turned around, and inside the empty helmet, it seemed as if two gazes were looking at Lato Giaro.

The next second, it stomped and rushed toward this core member of the "April Fools," and a giant sword of light condensed in its hand.

And with the rush of the silver-white full-body armor, Lu Mian's figure appeared in that corner of the wall.

He had just used the terrain there to simply set up a "Bottle of Fiction"—using the large hole spewing poison gas as a symbol of a "window," with the purpose of avoiding the influence of the "Purification Halo," and taking this opportunity to take out the "Armor of Arrogance," pose, and let it stand with its back to Lato Giaro.

Yes, this set of cursed armor only had the possibility of attacking people standing within a certain distance behind it, not necessarily, but what if that person not only stood within ten meters behind it, but also backstabbed it and launched an attack on it?

The answer was self-evident!

Now, Lu Mian had a good helper who was not afraid of the "Purification Halo."
