Suatu ketika senyum “ketulusan” muncul di wajah Klein, wajah Spectator Saint yang dipisahkan oleh Enuni tiba-tiba retak terbuka. Retakan-retakan perak tersebar di mana-mana, saling terjalin, tampak sangat kacau. Klein memanfaatkan kesempatan itu dan menggunakan pedang perak marionette Silver Knight-nya untuk mengembunkan “Silver Rapier” guna menyerangnya! Cahaya tajam melesat keluar, memotong sosok itu menjadi potongan-potongan kecil yang tak terhitung. Namun, potongan-potongan kecil itu luar biasa ilusif, sama sekali tanpa wujud fisik. Spectator Saint telah menggunakan teknik Psychological Invisibility untuk menciptakan ilusi, menyembunyikan keberadaannya! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Berkas-berkas cahaya perak menyala ke arah Spectator Saint yang dipisahkan oleh Enuni, atau langsung melompat keluar dari lokasi target, meletus dari dalam. Spectator Saint mengandalkan kecepatan dan kelincahan yang diberikan oleh tubuh yang kuat. Dia terus-menerus berpindah posisi dan menghindar, mencegah dirinya terluka. Karena dia memiliki pemahaman dan kendali yang tepat atas psyche dan pikirannya, intuisi bahaya Klein mencegah suatu gambaran terbentuk di benaknya, sehingga sulit bagi Klein untuk memprediksi tindakannya. Oleh karena itu, Klein tidak bisa membiarkan “Silver Rapier” menunggu dan menyerang di tempat dia muncul. Tap! Tap! Tap! Ksatria raksasa yang tertutup armor perak padat itu memegang pedang lebarnya dan menyerbu ke arah targetnya, seolah-olah dia mampu merobohkan gunung. Karena keberadaan Unshadowed Domain, marionette Silver Knight Klein tidak dapat menyembunyikan dirinya menggunakan cahaya. Dia hanya bisa menyerang secara langsung. Melihat ini, tubuh Spectator Saint tiba-tiba membengkak, berubah menjadi naga bersisik putih keabu-abuan yang mengerikan dan diselimuti bayangan, manifestasi dari godhood. Tubuh naga itu sangat besar; sisik kelabunya kokoh. Cakarnya kuat, dan ia berhasil menahan tebasan Silver Knight. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Raksasa dan naga raksasa itu menghancurkan batu-bata kerajaan ilahi kuno, menyebabkan istana runtuh. Semuanya berantakan. Klein mempertahankan senyumnya yang berlebihan dan dengan serius mengendalikan marionette-nya untuk mengabaikan Shadow. Tidak, dia masih melakukan semacam intervensi. Dia mengendalikan Spirit Body Threads miliknya sendiri, marionette, Chief dari City of Silver, Lovia, dan Little Sun, mencegah mereka dikendalikan oleh Shadow. Dari waktu ke waktu, dia akan mengulurkan tangannya dan memanggil proyeksi historis yang sedang coba dipanggil Shadow. Ini secara efektif menetralkan upaya kedua belah pihak. Selain itu, Klein bahkan tidak melirik Shadow. Shadow berkeliaran untuk sementara sebelum membuka mulutnya dengan pasrah dan mengeluarkan suara “bang”. Sebuah Meriam Udara melesat dan menghantam marionette Silver Knight sebelum meledak. Di tengah suara gemuruh, marionette itu hanya bergetar sedikit sebelum kembali normal. Armor perak yang dikenakannya tidak menunjukkan satu pun retakan. “Haha.” Melihat pemandangan ini, Klein tertawa terbahak-bahak, memberi kesan bahwa dia akan membungkuk karena tawa. Bagaimana mungkin dia tidak menyadari betapa lemahnya serangan dan pertahanannya? Ketika dua keterampilan inti, yaitu mengendalikan Spirit Body Threads dan pemanggilan proyeksi Historical Void, menjadi tidak efektif, Shadow, yang tidak memiliki marionette, hanya bisa menonton dari samping. Baik itu Meriam Udara, Flame Controlling, Illusion Creation, atau kemampuan tempur Clown, semuanya hanyalah hiasan atau pendukung. Demikian pula, Klein tidak menyerang Shadow, karena dia tahu betapa menjengkelkannya menghadapi Paper Figurine Substitutes, Flaming Jump, Damage Transfer, dan Illusion Creation. Dia tahu bahwa tidak mungkin dia bisa mengatasi pihak lain dalam waktu sesingkat itu. Lebih baik membiarkannya menjadi bagian dari penonton langsung. Lagi pula, dia tidak bisa memengaruhi pertempuran. Mendengar tawa mengejek itu, Shadow yang hitam pekat membeku sejenak sebelum menerkam ke depan. Ia mendekati Klein dan membidiknya dengan serangan. Di sisi lain, ketika wujud asli Enuni mendarat di depan tiga demigod City of Silver, Colin Iliad dengan cepat melirik Derrick sebelum membuang muka. Dia menyilangkan pedangnya, membentuk salib yang menghalangi jalan di depannya. Saat melakukan ini, pakaian Chief dari City of Silver ini terkoyak oleh otot-ototnya yang membesar dengan cepat. Dalam sekejap mata, Colin Iliad telah berubah menjadi raksasa yang tingginya hampir enam meter. Tubuhnya biru keabu-abuan dan otot-ototnya hitam kebiruan. Dia adalah raksasa yang berotot kekar. Ada retakan gelap di dahinya yang tampaknya mampu menarik jiwa-jiwa di sekitarnya, dan matanya telah hilang. Setiap inci kulit dan daging raksasa itu mengandung kekuatan luar biasa, misteri tak terbatas, dan pengaruh spiritual yang aneh. Itu membuat setiap orang yang menyaksikannya pasti merasakan nyeri tajam di psyche mereka, mengubah mereka menjadi kekacauan mengamuk yang ingin menghancurkan segala sesuatu, termasuk diri mereka sendiri. Di dalam “Unshadowed Domain,” Colin Iliad tidak perlu khawatir bahwa penindasan kerajaan ilahi akan mencegahnya mengendalikan bentuk Mythical Creature yang tidak lengkap ini, menyebabkan dia kehilangan kendali sepenuhnya. Barrier tak terlihat di sekelilingnya segera menyusut, berubah menjadi logam cair perak yang lengket yang menutupi seluruh tubuhnya dan mengeras menjadi armor yang tidak bisa diguncang. Pada saat itu, bayangan di tubuh Enuni mengembun menjadi sesuatu yang berwujud. Itu membuatnya berubah menjadi “raksasa” yang tingginya beberapa meter. Dia memegang pedang besar hitam dan mengenakan armor hitam penuh tubuh. Black Knight! Clang! Pedang besar hitam itu menebas lurus ke bawah dan tertahan di udara oleh dua pedang yang terbentuk dari cahaya fajar. Bayangan di bawah kaki Enuni dan sayap hitam ilusif di punggungnya memanjang keluar dalam upaya menyelimuti Colin Iliad. Hampir pada saat yang sama, berkas-berkas cahaya fajar terbentuk di sekitar Colin saat mereka menyapu ke depan. Badai yang dipenuhi fragmen cahaya murni menelan bayangan Enuni, hanya untuk dihalangi oleh sayap hitamnya. Clang! Clang! Clang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Manifestasi Silver Knight milik Colin Iliad dan transformasi Black Knight milik Enuni bertabrakan dengan dahsyat, menghasilkan pertunjukan cahaya spektakuler saat menara itu runtuh. Adapun Derrick, dia melompat keluar dengan Thunder God’s Roar di tangan setelah menerima isyarat dari Chief, menuju langsung ke Sun Saint. Di tengah angin yang meraung, dia mengayunkan palu biru hantu yang terbungkus petir. Dia tampak seperti Sailor dari jalur Storm, bukan Beyonder dari jalur Sun. Sun Saint tidak pernah menyangka bahwa Unshadowed di seberangnya akan begitu nekat hingga memilih terlibat dalam pertempuran jarak dekat. Karena tidak bisa bereaksi tepat waktu, dia hanya bisa menggunakan instingnya untuk menghindar ke samping. Dengan suara retak yang keras, cahaya putih keperakan meletus dari tempat yang hendak ia pijak. Cahaya itu dengan cepat menelannya dan mencabik-cabik tubuhnya. Roh jahat Silver Knight yang “Grazed” oleh Lovia juga membidik Sun Saint saat melepaskan serangannya. Cahaya keemasan melonjak keluar dari tubuh Sun Saint seperti gelombang pasang, melelehkan cahaya putih keperakan, membentuk lapisan armor yang terbuat dari cahaya, dan gada raksasa. Boom! Gada itu menahan Thunder God’s Roar, menyebabkan kilatan dan cahaya yang berkelok-kelok beterbangan ke mana-mana. Pada saat yang sama, tubuh Sun Saint memancarkan cahaya hangat yang membuat roh jahat Silver Knight tiba-tiba menjadi ilusif seolah-olah menguap. Itu membuat tubuh Lovia yang berarmor hitam menjadi pucat. Aura degenerasi dengan cepat menghilang, menyebabkan marionette Silver Knight melemah drastis. Pemurnian! Ini adalah kekuatan inti dari seorang Unshadowed. Sangat efektif terhadap wraith, yang jatuh, dan yang najis! Menghadapi “Pemurnian,” Lovia hanya bisa memanggil kembali roh jahat Silver Knight-nya dan tidak membiarkannya keluar untuk “Grazed.” Dia hanya bisa menggunakan kekuatan Beyonder yang sesuai untuk menutupi kelemahannya. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Berkas-berkas cahaya perak kadang-kadang “Blink,” terbang dengan kecepatan tinggi, memaksa Sun Saint untuk menahan dan merunduk guna melindungi dirinya. Setelah melirik, Derrick berhenti mengayunkan Thunder God’s Roar lagi, juga tidak lagi mengganggu Sun Saint. Dia mundur beberapa langkah dan mengarahkan pandangannya ke pertempuran antara pedang besar hitam dan pedang kembar fajar. Dia kemudian bergabung dalam pertempuran antara Colin Iliad dan Enuni. Ekspresinya berubah khidmat saat dia merentangkan tangannya lebar-lebar, seolah-olah sedang memeluk hadiah dari dewa. “Unshadowed Domain” segera menjadi lebih terang, seolah-olah sinar matahari menembus barrier dan bersinar masuk. Tepat setelah itu, bola cahaya murni yang dikelilingi api suci yang tak terhitung jumlahnya turun dari udara tipis. Bola itu menyelimuti Colin Iliad dan Enuni tanpa memedulikan apakah mereka kawan atau lawan. Flaring Sun! “Flaring Sun” milik seorang Unshadowed! Ini adalah mantra teurgi yang pernah digunakan Klein untuk membunuh Megose dan janin di dalam rahimnya. Itu menyebabkan kerusakan luar biasa pada makhluk di domain Corruption, Degeneration, dan Undying. Bahkan bisa langsung menghancurkan mereka. Dalam cahaya bulat suci yang dikelilingi api suci, sayap hitam ilusif di punggung Enuni mulai mengeluarkan kabut tipis. Armor hitam pekat yang menutupi tubuhnya meleleh dan sebagian tubuhnya retak terbuka, membakar aura degenerasi yang bocor. Colin Iliad juga terluka. Armor perak di tubuhnya berubah menjadi logam cair. Derrick tidak terlalu memedulikan ini. Dia sekali lagi menggunakan “Flaring Sun” dan sekali lagi menyelimuti Enuni dan Colin Iliad. Dia percaya bahwa dibandingkan musuh yang berasal dari domain Degeneration dan Corruption, Chief yang berasal dari jalur Warrior akan menderita kerusakan jauh lebih sedikit di bawah serangan “Flaring Sun.” Dia mampu bertahan jauh lebih lama. Dan setelah menangani musuh utama, dia bisa meminta Tuan World memanggil Life’s Cane untuk mengobati Chief. Ini adalah cara tercepat untuk menangani Enuni! Ini bukanlah sesuatu yang Derrick pikirkan sendiri, juga bukan bagian dari rencana yang disusun Klein. Ini adalah sesuatu yang Colin Iliad usulkan sendiri. Sebelumnya, ketika mereka berdiskusi di luar pintu, Klein hanya memperkenalkan Enuni dan kemungkinan kemampuan Shadow. Dia tidak mengajukan proposal apa pun dan menyerahkannya kepada Chief dari City of Silver untuk memutuskan rencana pertempuran. Ini karena dia tahu bahwa Shadow sangat memahaminya. Apa pun yang bisa dia pikirkan, Shadow juga bisa memikirkannya. Jika berdasarkan alur pemikirannya sendiri, itu akan mudah diatasi. Oleh karena itu, mempercayai mantan Demon Hunter yang berpengalaman adalah solusi terbaik dalam situasi saat ini. Colin Iliad tidak berpanjang lebar. Dia memastikan bahwa target utama yang perlu mereka tangani adalah Enuni, yang telah dikorupsi oleh Dark Angel. Dia merumuskan rencana di sekitar poin kunci ini dan menyusun rencana untuk meraih kemenangan melalui cara saling menghancurkan. Dia tidak takut terluka. Dia hanya khawatir tidak akan ada kesempatan seperti ini. Cahaya bulat yang dikelilingi api suci tak terbatas itu menghantam ke bawah, menerangi area sekitarnya. Itu membuat “shadow” milik Klein meredup secara signifikan, membuat sayap hitam Enuni menjadi semakin redup, hampir mencapai titik ilusi. Namun pada saat ini, sepasang sayap hitam tiba-tiba terpisah dari Enuni dan berubah menjadi “laut” yang dalam.
Chapter 1255 - Mengejek Dirinya Sendiri
As the smile of “sincerity” appeared on Klein’s face, the face of the Spectator Saint that Enuni had split suddenly cracked open. The silver cracks were all over the place, intertwining with each other, appearing extremely chaotic.
Klein seized the opportunity and used his Silver Knight marionette’s silver sword to condense a “Silver Rapier” to attack him!
A sharp light shot out, dicing that figure into countless small pieces.
However, these small blocks were abnormally illusory, with zero corporealness.
The Spectator Saint had used the technique of Psychological Invisibility to create an illusion, concealing his existence!
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Silver beams of light either blazed towards the Spectator Saint that Enuni had split off, or directly leaped out from the target’s location, erupting from within.
The Spectator Saint relied on the speed and agility that a powerful body brought. He constantly changed positions and dodged, preventing himself from getting injured.
As he had a precise understanding and control of his psyche and mind, Klein’s intuition for danger prevented an image from forming in his mind, so it was difficult for Klein to predict his actions. Therefore, Klein couldn’t let the “Silver Rapier” lay in wait and strike out where he appeared.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The huge knight, who was covered in solid silver armor, held his broadsword and charged at his target, as though he could topple a mountain.
Due to the existence of the Unshadowed Domain, Klein’s Silver Knight marionette was unable to hide himself using the light. He could only directly attack.
Upon seeing this, the Spectator Saint’s body suddenly swelled, turning into a hideous, grayish-white scaled dragon that was covered in shadows, a manifestation of godhood.
The dragon’s body was huge; its gray scales firm. Its claws were powerful, and it managed to block the Silver Knight’s slash.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The giant and the giant dragon smashed through the brick rocks of the ancient divine kingdom, causing the palace to collapse. It was a mess.
Klein maintained his exaggerated smile and seriously controlled his marionette to ignore Shadow.
No, he still did some level of interference.
He controlled the Spirit Body Threads of himself, the marionette, the City of Silver’s Chief, Lovia, and Little Sun, preventing them from being controlled by Shadow. From time to time, he would reach out his hand and summon the historical projection that Shadow was attempting to summon. This effectively canceled out both parties’ efforts.
Apart from that, Klein didn’t even glance at Shadow.
Shadow wandered for a while before opening its mouth helplessly and making a “bang” sound.
An Air Cannon shot out and struck the Silver Knight marionette before exploding.
Amidst the rumbling sound, the marionette only shook slightly before returning to normal. The silver armor he wore didn’t show a single crack.
“Haha.” Upon seeing this scene, Klein laughed out loud, giving off the feeling that he was about to bend over in a fit of laughter.
How could he not be aware of how weak his attacks and defense were?
When the two core skills of controlling Spirit Body Threads and the summoning of the Historical Void projections were rendered ineffective, Shadow, who had no marionettes, could only watch from the side. Be it Air Cannons, Flame Controlling, Illusion Creation, or the Clown’s combat ability, they were all just embellishments or support.
Likewise, Klein didn’t attack Shadow, because he knew how frustrating it was to deal with Paper Figurine Substitutes, Flaming Jump, Damage Transfer, and Illusion Creation. He knew that there was no way he could deal with the other party in such a short period of time. He might as well let him be a member of the live audience. After all, he couldn’t affect the battle.
Upon hearing the mocking laughter, the pitch-black Shadow froze for a moment before pouncing forward. It approached Klein and targeted him with attacks.
On the other side, when Enuni’s true form landed in front of the three demigods of the City of Silver, Colin Iliad quickly glanced at Derrick before looking away. He crossed his swords, forming a cross that blocked the path ahead.
While doing this, this City of Silver Chief’s clothes tore apart by his rapidly expanding muscles.
In the blink of an eye, Colin Iliad had turned into a giant that was nearly six meters tall. His body was grayish-blue and his muscles were bluish-black. He was a ripped giant.
There was a dark crack on his forehead that seemed to be capable of attracting the souls around him, and his eyes were gone.
Every inch of the giant’s skin and flesh contained immense power, infinite mystery, and a strange spiritual influence. It made everyone who witnessed it inevitably feel a sharp pain in their psyche, turning them into a rampaging mess that wanted to destroy everything, including themselves.
Inside the “Unshadowed Domain,” Colin Iliad didn’t need to worry that the divine kingdom’s suppression would prevent him from controlling this incomplete Mythical Creature form, causing him to completely lose control.
The invisible barrier around him immediately shrank, turning into silver, sticky, liquid metal that covered his entire body and solidified into an armor that couldn’t be shaken.
At that moment, the shadow on Enuni’s body condensed into something corporeal. It made him turn into a “giant” that was several meters tall. He held a black greatsword and wore black full-body armor.
Black Knight!
Clang!
The black great sword cleaved straight down and was held back in midair by two swords formed from the light of dawn.
The shadow beneath Enuni’s feet and the illusory black wings on his back extended outwards in an attempt to envelop Colin Iliad.
Almost at the same time, rays of the light of dawn formed around Colin as they swept forward.
The storm that was filled with pure fragments of light swallowed Enuni’s shadow, only to be blocked by his black wings.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Colin Iliad’s Silver Knight manifestation Enuni’s Black Knight transformation clashed violently, producing a spectacular light show as the tower collapsed.
As for Derrick, he leaped out with Thunder God’s Roar in hand after receiving the Chief’s signal, heading straight for the Sun Saint.
Amidst the howling winds, he brandished the ghostly blue hammer that was wrapped in lightning. He appeared like a Sailor of the Storm pathway, not a Beyonder of the Sun domain.
The Sun Saint never expected that the Unshadowed opposite him would be so rash that he chose to engage in close combat. Unable to react in time, he could only use his instincts to dodge to the side.
With a loud crack, a silvery-white light burst out from the place he was about to step in. It quickly engulfed him and tore his body apart.
The Silver Knight evil spirit that Lovia “Grazed” also targeted the Sun Saint as it unleashed its attacks.
A golden glow surged out of the Sun Saint’s body like a tidal wave, melting the silvery-white light, forming a layer of armor made of light, and a huge mace.
Boom!
The mace blocked Thunder God’s Roar, causing the snaking bolts and light to fly everywhere.
At the same time, the Sun Saint’s body emitted a warm glow that caused the Silver Knight evil spirit to suddenly turn illusory as if it was evaporating. It caused the black-armored Lovia’s body to pale. The degenerate aura quickly dissipated, causing the Silver Knight marionette to weaken greatly.
Purification!
This was the core power of an Unshadowed. It was extremely effective against wraiths, the fallen, and the unclean!
Faced with the “Purification,” Lovia could only summon her Silver Knight evil spirit back and not let it out to “Graze.” She could only use the corresponding Beyonder powers to make up for her weakness.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Silver beams of light occasionally “Blinked,” flying at high speeds, forcing the Sun Saint to block and duck to protect himself.
After taking a glance, Derrick stopped brandishing Thunder God’s Roar again, nor did he pester the Sun Saint any further. He took a few steps back and cast his gaze towards the battle between the black greatsword and the double swords of dawn. He then joined the battle between Colin Iliad and Enuni.
His expression turned solemn as he spread his arms wide, as though he was hugging a gift from a deity.
The “Unshadowed Domain” immediately became even brighter, as though sunlight had penetrated through the barrier and shone in.
Right on the heels of that, a ball of pure light surrounded by countless holy flames descended out of thin air. It enveloped Colin Iliad and Enuni without any regard whether they were friend or foe.
Flaring Sun!
“Flaring Sun” of an Unshadowed!
This was the theurgical spell that Klein had used to kill Megose and the fetus in her womb. It caused tremendous damage to creatures in the domain of Corruption, Degeneration, and Undying. It could even directly destroy them.
In the holy spherical light that was surrounded by holy flames, the illusory black wings on Enuni’s back began to emit a faint mist. The pitch-black armor covering his body melted and part of his body cracked open, igniting his leaking degenerated aura.
Colin Iliad was also injured. The silver armor on his body turned into liquid metal.
Derrick didn’t pay much attention to this. He once again used “Flaring Sun” and once again enveloped Enuni and Colin Iliad.
He believed that compared to the enemy who was of the Degeneration and Corruption domain, the Chief who was of the Warrior pathway would suffer a lot less damage under the assault of “Flaring Sun.” He was able to last much longer.
And after dealing with the main enemy, he could get Mr. World to summon Life’s Cane to treat the Chief.
This was the fastest way to deal with Enuni!
This wasn’t something that Derrick had come up with himself, nor was it part of the plan that Klein had come up with. It was something that Colin Iliad had suggested himself.
Previously, when they were discussing outside the door, Klein had only introduced Enuni and the Shadow’s possible abilities. He didn’t come up with any proposals and had left it to the City of Silver’s Chief to decide on the battle plan.
This was because he knew that Shadow understood him very well. He could think of anything he could think of. If it was based on his own train of thought, it would be easy to resolve. Therefore, trusting an experienced former Demon Hunter was the best solution under the present circumstances.
Colin Iliad didn’t stand on ceremony. He confirmed that the main target they needed to deal with was Enuni, who had been corrupted by the Dark Angel. He formulated a plan around this key point and came up with a plan to clinch victory through internecine means.
He wasn’t afraid of being hurt. He was only worried that there wouldn’t be an opportunity such as this.
The spherical light that was surrounded by infinite holy flames blasted down, illuminating the surrounding area. It made Klein’s “shadow” dim significantly, making Enuni’s black wings become fainter and fainter, almost to the point of an illusion.
But at this moment, a pair of black wings suddenly separated from Enuni and transformed into a deep “sea.”
