Chapter 294: Possession by a Demon God

This was an extremely powerful soul. Even though it was just an avatar of a Demon God and had lost the support of a physical body, standing under its pressure, Geralt still felt quite uncomfortable in his chest.

Although he didn't know which of the seven Demon Lords of Hell this monster was an avatar of?

But at this point, running away was probably too late; he could only fight to the death.

Geralt cast aside his distractions, endured the pain from hard-fighting the death magic just now, gritted his teeth, gathered all his strength again to resist the pressure of the Demon God's soul, and condensed all the mana in his body into the Oath of Victory Sword.

After being blessed by the Lady of the Lake, the light sword formed by this treasure sword no longer just became huge, but could now focus magical energy, enhance more divine power, and increase damage to monsters.

After receiving the reinforcement of all the mana in Geralt's body, this light sword finally settled at about three meters, and the mana inside gradually changed from white light to dazzling white-gold.

Under the illumination of this holy light, he felt that the pressure on him had eased a lot, and he no longer felt involuntary fear toward the dark soul in front of him as he had just now.

However, just as he was in a brief standoff with the soul floating above the corpse, a situation that was expected yet unexpected occurred.

Accompanied by twelve flashes of light, those sorcerers who had just been expanding the magic rift and were eroded by hellish power all appeared around Geralt and that evil soul.

It seemed that because they were summoned by the Demon God's power, they all had dull eyes and were in a trance, but their hand movements were not slow. After appearing, they immediately began waving their staves and started condensing chaos magic, seemingly preparing to release some magic.

At this time, Geralt dared not let these twelve sorcerers join the battle between them. Gritting his teeth, he reached into his bracelet and took out a quite gorgeous scabbard. After infusing it with mana, he slammed it into the ground.

Following his action, a golden barrier of about ten meters rose immediately with the scabbard as the center. This was the scabbard of the Oath of Victory Sword, named Avalon.

This powerful magical item could launch an extremely powerful defensive magic, claimed to be able to isolate all damage, and could probably hold for about a minute.

Now, regardless of whether its effect was as exaggerated as the legend, Geralt had no other way and could only use this means to prevent these sorcerers from interfering with the battle between him and the Demon God's avatar.

After the golden barrier of Avalon appeared, Geralt didn't dare to delay for even a second, directly casting the sixth-circle Mirror Image spell. His figure split into six, and together with his main body, launched a righteous gang-beating on that soul.

Seven tall and agile figures, carrying a resolute will, launched the fiercest attacks from different directions toward the Demon God's soul ball.

Seeing this, it seemed that it also realized something was wrong. This Demon God soul avatar, which was left with only a ball of light, suddenly ignited a ball of soul flames, and then instantly drilled into the body of the middle-aged sorcerer who had just been split in two, and directly, together with the middle-aged sorcerer's physical body, began to burn violently.

By the time Geralt and his mirror images rushed in front of the corpse, the Demon God's soul, together with the sorcerer's physical body, had melted into a mass of black, viscous blood, which was constantly bubbling and rippling, seemingly preparing for some evil ritual.

However, the Witcher didn't care about this; he only knew the principle of striking while the iron is hot. No matter what means the enemy used, now was the best opportunity to beat a drowning dog.

Together with his clones, wrapping around the twisting and rolling black blood, holding a huge light sword as dazzling as the sun, he stabbed it fiercely into the blood.

Awooo! Amidst painful and angry roars, seven scorching light swords instantly evaporated a small half of the black blood. Countless angry faces appeared in the distorted steam, and then, together with the remaining blood, they re-condensed into a distorted and strong body in a very short time.

Blood-red skin and muscles, huge curved horns, sharp fangs, a terrifying face, and the whole body exuded black-red flames.

Clearly, it was flesh and blood only the size of an ordinary person, and a part of it had been evaporated by holy power, but in an instant, it turned into a terrifying body four meters tall, comparable to a giant, in front of Geralt.

Its upper body was like an extremely strong giant warrior, but its lower body was like an alien monster, growing four insect-like limbs covered in barbs and shells.

Not only that, behind this body, eight black tentacles as thin as whips grew, twisting and swinging around its body. The entire appearance looked both terrifying and distorted, absolutely not comparable to ordinary monsters.

"Despicable maggot, tiny lower-world creature, how dare you offend me, the great Destroyer Demon Lord Baal."

"I will tear you into pieces, I will devour your soul, and turn your flesh and blood into my food."

However, before his harsh words were finished, the despicable Witcher Geralt launched an attack again.

The six light swords of the mirror images stabbed toward the Demon God's body from various tricky directions, while Geralt stood behind Baal, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and pulled fiercely at the Destroyer Demon Lord Baal from the air.

The Destroyer Demon Lord Baal, who was in a state of rage, suddenly felt a mysterious power he had never seen before, in a way that was hard to resist, pull something important out of his soul, actually making his soul feel unprecedented emptiness and inexplicable fear in an instant.

This was something he had never thought of before—that he would suffer such an attack in a relatively weak plane.

Ding! Lucky Curse has been cast on the target, gaining 19 points of luck, current luck value 29.

Just as Baal felt inexplicable fear and was somewhat stunned, the six light swords of the mirror images had already pierced into its body. Although this holy damage was not a threat to the Destroyer Demon Lord Baal at all.

But inexplicably, because of the interference of these holy powers, it actually caused a momentary loss of control over its body.

The physical body, which was originally forcibly condensed using ownerless flesh and blood, actually collapsed in an instant, revealing the soul ball wrapped inside.

"What's going on? How is this possible?"

As one of the seven Demon Lords of Hell who had lived for who knows how many years, Baal never expected that he would make such a low-level mistake when exerting his power. Just as it was trying to re-condense its physical body to protect its fragile soul, Geralt, who had been waiting on the side and wanted to give the enemy a fatal blow, would never let go of such an opportunity.

He immediately rushed to Baal's side and stabbed the Oath of Victory Sword in his hand fiercely into the soul ball of the Destroyer Demon Lord that was exposed.

Then he roared and began to output all the chaos mana in his body without consequence.

In an instant, the severely injured soul ball trembled violently, and an angry howl that shocked the soul erupted from the ball, not only shaking Geralt, who was close at hand, until he was dizzy and confused.

Even the six mirror images surrounding Baal were all shaken away from their mana foundation, and together with the light swords in their hands, turned into dust of mana.

However, this was just the last counterattack of the soul ball. Although Baal was strong as one of the seven Demon Lords of Hell, this was only his soul avatar, and it came across the space rift, subject to the rules of the local world, and its own power was less than one-hundredth of his true strength.

The Oath of Victory Sword in Geralt's hand, although it couldn't be ranked among the weapons of the heavens and worlds, was absolutely the top-tier among the existing weapons in the Wizard World.

Coupled with the holy blessing of the Lady of the Lake attached to it, and the influence of some unknown power, this soul avatar of Baal was actually severely damaged by this sword.

Under the burning of the holy power, its soul ball began to twist and flicker constantly. Amidst Geralt's roar, it finally couldn't hold on anymore and directly disintegrated into dozens of soul flames the size of fists.

However, as one of the seven Demon Lords of Hell, Baal's soul strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. Even if it disintegrated into such small balls of light, it still didn't escape the control of the Demon Lord of Hell.

Just when Geralt was panting, his body was weak, and he thought this final boss had been solved by him, more than half of those dozens of balls of light actually rushed into his body at an extremely rapid speed, and in a situation where he didn't know how to resist, they merged into his soul.

And the other ten or so balls of light directly broke through the golden barrier of Avalon, flew into the sky, and exploded like fireworks. More than a dozen meteors quickly disappeared in all directions.

Baal is known as the King of Destruction among the seven Demon Lords of Hell. He is the most violent, most fond of killing, and the powerful Demon Lord who is keen on destroying everything among all Demon Lords.

Its soul is full of distorted desire for destruction, as well as endless anger and negative emotions that destroy everything.

When Baal's soul fragments entered his body, Geralt only felt that his soul had suffered unimaginable torture.

Endless rage and desire for destruction were constantly invading his spirit, and along with it was Baal's extremely evil and dark, yet immensely vast hellish mana.

In an instant, both his spirit and his body were like a small boat sailing alone in a storm.

While enduring the beating of the stormy waves, he also had to endure the baptism of the storm.

"Become my puppet, you despicable maggot, your body will become my avatar, I will personally destroy everything you love, turn this world into an eternal battlefield, and make this place a new hell."

Damn hellish Demon God, truly worthy of being the top power of another world. Even if it was just an avatar, even if it had suffered so many attacks, it could still threaten his life.

If it weren't for relying on various means to catch the opponent off guard, he would never have been able to defeat this Demon Lord of Hell head-on, even if it was just an avatar.

Geralt was not a person with a very strong willpower. He loved to enjoy, was greedy for beauty, and although he also valued feelings very much, he absolutely couldn't do what a hero would do—disregard everything and risk his life.

Such torture of spirit and body was something Geralt had never felt before. The torture of the soul was far more painful to him than the body.

Just when he thought he was about to be unable to hold on and be completely swallowed by Baal's distorted anger and desire to destroy everything.

The system's voice actually sounded after a long time.

Ding! Detected exotic soul energy invading the host's soul, whether to start the antivirus program? Exotic soul energy? Antivirus? Hearing the system's prompt, Geralt's remaining intelligence didn't have time to think about too many things and immediately made a decision.

The system's power was his biggest trump card. He didn't expect that the great system would actually have the function of helping him protect his soul.

Yes! Start the disinfection program immediately.

After making this choice, while Geralt felt a sense of relief, both the pain in his body and the torture in his spirit made him unable to hold on any longer, and he fell into a deep coma.

But what Geralt didn't know was that what the system's great power cleared away was only Baal's will in these soul fragments.

The hellish power, rage power, and destruction power carried in Baal's soul were all beneficial powers to the host in the system's view. It didn't expel them from Geralt's body but preserved them.

After Geralt's spirit fell into a coma, these powers, under the control of his subconscious, controlled his body and carried out intense fusion.

They began to follow the instincts of the body and carried out their own actions in the fog.
