Lumian escaped Vazan Sansong’s pursuit, entered Mogang, but since he lacked teammates, he couldn’t perform the “Ironblood Knight” ritual, so he turned to the exiles there and ascended to the “Despair Witch” instead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So ruthless… that’s exactly something Lumian would do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, didn’t I give him a multiple-choice question back then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to admit, she’s even more beautiful than I imagined…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uh, who helped him shatter the “Black Tear”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Franca’s thoughts flashed like lightning, Jianna cried out in delight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumian!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higton and Vazan Sansong, both under the charm, snapped back to awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lumian’s figure vanished again, reappearing behind another Higton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Higton covered in greenish-yellow viscous fluid had already anticipated this and instantly dissolved into countless droplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet around him, an almost seamless invisible web of spider silk suddenly emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This web spanned a twenty- to thirty-meter area, decaying rapidly on one side while clinging to Higton’s faint greenish-yellow droplets—too small to see with the naked eye—and binding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quiet, Huimie -tinged black flames surged from the witch-like Lumian, igniting the nearly rotten, crumbling web and engulfing every greenish-yellow fragment, stripping them of all spirituality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fool!” Lumian muttered coldly, her figure vanishing once more from her original spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t keep attacking just now—I used “Charm” precisely to buy time and weave this web, to prevent your escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lumian used “Teleport” again, along with “Invisibility,” the black flames that surged from her body did not vanish with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After burning through the web and the web-bound Higton, they rapidly spread across most of this park-like ruin, igniting the airborne diseases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the sharp decline in disease and decay energy, Franca did not search for Lumian’s figure; instead, she moved with perfect Moqi  toward Vazan Sansong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt Lumian intended to eliminate Higton first, so she and the others had to hold back Vazan Sansong—the “Man of the Ring”—and prevent him from interfering in Lumian’s battle with Higton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every second counts!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jianna felt the same and swiftly vanished, circling around Vazan Sansong to coordinate with Franca and Anthony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the three of them, Anthony could inflict the greatest damage on the demigod!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony activated “Psychological Invisibility” once more and cautiously approached Vazan Sansong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vazan Sansong was still dazed and frightened—he didn’t understand where his attempt to break the seal and release Lord Therimipolos had gone wrong, or why Lumian Li had succeeded in escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a devout follower of Fate, this was a sin worthy of death as atonement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, upon regaining his senses, Vazan Sansong paid no mind to why Harrison had also vanished; he immediately rushed toward the battlefield between Higton and Lumian’s allies, hoping to capture Lumian’s teammates and force him to return for rescue, thereby regaining control over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Vazan Sansong hadn’t anticipated was that Lumian had indeed returned—but as a “Witch,” a demigod-level “Witch”!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had his contract for enhancing lust not originated from a non-demigod entity, and had he not already become a demigod-level “Ascetic,” he would almost certainly have lost self-control under that soul-piercing charm just now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Vazan Sansong caught sight of Lumian’s figure—she had indeed appeared behind the final Higton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Vazan Sansong prepared to “Teleport” and hunt her fate, Franca’s silhouette suddenly materialized behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franca raised her left hand, already adorned with iron-black spiked rings, and two bolts of lightning flared in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spirit Piercing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vazan Sansong’s body trembled slightly; his soul felt only a faint pang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, a translucent, nearly identical figure grew from his back, gazing coldly at Franca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franca activated her final “Mirror Double,” and the fragments fell lifelessly to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost simultaneously, Jianna’s figure appeared ten meters away to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her hand, she held a brown leather scroll, and she uttered a Hermesian word:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scroll instantly erupted in solar radiance, enveloping Vazan Sansong in a holy, blazing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Fate’s power was neither evil, corrupt, nor dark, it carried its own will—and to Sansong himself, it was an outsider, something to be expelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, having reached the demigod level step by step, Vazan Sansong’s consciousness had already been polluted and influenced by that will, growing ever closer to its master; thus, the “Purification” effect would not be too pronounced. Still, the creature he had contracted with included many types that were dark, evil, corrupt, and fearful of “Purification,” so under the sun’s glare, he could not help but close his eyes, raise his right hand to shield his face, and emit faint wisps of black smoke from his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his demigod status, Vazan Sansong would not suffer severe damage from such “Purification” and would recover quickly—but this gave Anthony his chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony stopped, raised the “Winter Is Coming” revolver, took a simple aim, and pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bullet stained dark yellow flew toward Vazan Sansong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certain Hit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony did not know whether Vazan Sansong had contracted a double ability, so he chose “Certain Hit” over “Certain Death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet struck Vazan Sansong’s body with a metallic clang, shattering his clothing and cracking his skin and flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the instant he was bathed in sunlight, unable to foresee what might await him if he teleported away, Vazan Sansong activated a contract ability to metalize his body—this not only strengthened his defense but was neither evil, dark, nor corrupt, thus not amplifying the sun’s effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if the next attack could pierce even his metalized form, Vazan Sansong could trigger the “Man of the Ring” effect to reset his physical state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he was pinned down by Franca, Jianna, and Anthony’s desperate assault, the final Higton—seemingly anticipating this—suddenly sprouted two arms covered in greenish-yellow viscous fluid, thrusting a dim greenish glow toward the “Despair Witch” Lumian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Certain Death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The glow struck Lumian’s tall, perfect body—but passed straight through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure rippled like water, shattered rapidly, revealing itself as merely an illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, around Higton, one after another silhouette of Lumian—long black hair fluttering—appeared, each wielding the “Sword of Courage,” slashing simultaneously at this demigod of the “Order of the Final End.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the demigod-level Witch’s exploitation of a special mirror-world—each of these could be a mirror-image illusion, or one might conceal the true Lumian!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Higton’s body instantly shattered into clusters of dim greenish light, unleashing “Certain Death” indiscriminately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was not only a ranged attack—it was also an escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another Lumian appeared in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the “Sword of Courage” with both hands and plunged downward with crushing force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White-blue flames surged with violent explosions, engulfing the entire area, swallowing the dim greenish light clusters that had collided with the various Lumian illusions, denying them the chance to split into more Higtons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the white-blue flames turned quiet black, igniting and devouring all spirituality within range with a destructive, all-consuming aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the black flames faded, a fist-sized clump of greenish-yellow viscous fluid fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was deliberately left behind by Lumian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seized the slime, gripping it in his hand as if immune to disease, then smeared it onto a mirror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm, now covered in black flames, pressed against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greenish-yellow slime immediately let out a piercing scream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another dark ruin, another Higton had just found Ludwig and was reaching toward the boy whose face betrayed hunger—when strange, quiet black flames erupted from within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was swiftly consumed by the black flames, turning into lifeless droplets that dripped away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eliminating Higton, Lumian directly “Teleported” before Vazan Sansong and gestured for Franca, Jianna, and Anthony—who no longer had “Mirror Double”—to fall back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Vazan Sansong’s eyes, still recovering from the blinding sunlight, the cold, stunning “Witch” slightly curled her lips into a smile that seemed to steal souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vazan Sansong froze for a moment, and a rich, melodious voice echoed in his ear:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope your ‘Man of the Ring’ effect still works—I don’t want to kill you just once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ps: Thank you to Old Koller for supporting Mr.
