Adam began to meticulously study the knowledge within the emperor sword, which stored the magic and souls of successive Magic Emperors. He had to master it in the shortest possible time.
Adam still felt a lingering fear. In the Flood Dragon Secret Realm, he was made extremely miserable by the combined magic of the two black and white haired creatures, and almost had to release all nine Zodiac Powers to resist.
If it weren't for the summoning of Licht and others, even if he exhausted all his Zodiac Power to kill the white-haired and black-haired creatures, it would have been a losing battle for Adam, one that would have cost him everything.
Zodiac Power was Adam's everything; if it all disappeared, he would lose everything.
No one knows whether disaster or accident will come first.
Therefore, Adam could not sit idly by. He had to prepare for the worst, learn some special abilities, so that even if his Zodiac Power was temporarily lost, he would still have the capital to stand tall among the crowd.
"What a group of terrifying monsters, truly worthy of being successive Magic Emperors."
Adam began to explore the core of the emperor sword. Most of the meritorious deeds of the successive Magic Emperors were recorded.
The Magic Emperor from the Vermillion royal family, who possessed the Divine Flame Magic that could incinerate an entire army.
The Magic Emperor from the Silva royal family, who possessed Mercury Magic and counterattacked the Diamond Kingdom, killing the Eight Shining Generals.
The Magic Emperor known as the strongest Four Elements Magic on the continent at the time, assisted by both Earth and Flame spirits... Even the few Magic Emperors who sought revenge on Clover were all nobles of the kingdom.
It's just that they were framed.
"It seems that apart from that guy, the First Magic Emperor, the rest are out of the question."
The emperor sword must form a connection with the burial place of the Magic Emperor to revive a complete "person."
The soul in the sword is more like a magical carrier; simply put, it is a created puppet.
"The Power of the Rat is still the most reliable."
Adam looked at Princia. The woman still maintained a cold demeanor, completely different from when she was fighting.
Adam decided to repair the shattered puppet, using the First Magic Emperor as a carrier, incorporating the magic of successive Magic Emperors, and creating a brand new "god."
"Accumulate the magic power in the sword, and then it can be used in conjunction with demonic energy."
The functions of the human emperor sword include: absorbing magic power and releasing magic power.
"It's a pity it's incomplete, otherwise I could borrow the magic power from the grimoire tower..."
Adam jumped off the sickbed. He and Princia had to leave immediately and head to Hage Village to revive the First Magic Emperor, Lumiel.
"Lord Adam, you are still very weak and cannot move around freely."
Doriati reminded him.
This guardian deity of the Elf Clan had always acted as Adam's "pillow."
"I'm fine."
Adam stretched his neck. Having a pillow that was too soft for sleeping wasn't a good thing either.
It was easy to get a stiff neck.
"Licht, Fana, Leya, Beto, you all stay in Ailuxia for now. I'll take Princia back to the Clover Kingdom first."
"Yes."
Adam held the human emperor sword, and an endless stream of magic power flowed into his body. The Shadow Legion had completely dispersed because his magic power was exhausted.
Adam was afraid that something might go wrong in the Clover Kingdom, so he had to return quickly.
Adam felt a bit unsettled, always sensing that something big was about to happen.
The Elves were "enemies" of Clover. Until the situation in Clover became clear, Adam was not prepared to send them out.
At the very least, the intelligence network of the Shadow Legion had to be revived before the Akatsuki Organization's mission could continue.
"Lord Adam."
Doriati took Adam's hand. A flash of light appeared, and an elf pattern was etched into Adam's palm.
"With this, you can not only contact me at any time, but also borrow most of my power."
Adam looked at the Great Elf. Too much charm wasn't a good thing either; his body felt a little overwhelmed.
Kiss
"Thank you."
Adam released Doriati's hand and left with Princia.
The cold-faced empress still had an indifferent look, as if she was at Adam's disposal.
"Damn it, what's so good about that woman being so small?"
Doriati looked down and could only see a expanse of white, then proudly puffed out her chest.
Ugh... Licht and the others were speechless by the Elf Guardian Deity. What was so good about Adam that even a deity could fall in love with him... Spade Kingdom — Underground Laboratory.
"Screech!"
Nacht emerged directly from above Zenon's nutrient tank. A black hat, a raven's beak, two demonic horns, and black wings—this was the strongest form, the Gimodelo-Felidis Mode, which combined two devils!
Nacht, holding the master-servant contract, could fuse with any of his four devils, but could only accommodate two at most at the same time.
"Enemy..."
As soon as the Pitch-black Apostles discovered Nacht's figure, they were frozen by the piercing screech, only able to watch as the enemy attacked Zenon.
Zenon had lost the protection of beelzebub, so his Pitch-black Apostles could not use demonic power. Those without demonic power would be abandoned by the Spade Kingdom.
He succeeded!
"Shadow Prison."
A pitch-black cage with sharp spikes enveloped Zenon. With a "snap," an evil-doer who had refused a devil contract in his youth but transformed due to the death of a friend, died at Nacht's hands.
He was turned into chunks!
"Shadow Movement."
The guards were released from their frozen state and assaulted the enemy with various spells. Nacht did not linger in battle, directly burrowing into the ground and fleeing without looking back.
With his Shadow Magic, if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him.
"How is this possible?"
The guards gathered together, looking in horror at the gruesome scene in the nutrient tank.
Lord Zenon was actually dead!
Lord Dante would definitely not let them off; they had to run.
At this moment, Morris was still conducting his experiments. He paid no attention to Zenon's life or death; his eyes were only filled with interest in scientific exploration.
If Zenon still had demonic power, that would be another story.
Vanica was still in slumber, and the guards had already started fleeing outside.
Just then, a sinister and terrifying man appeared out of thin air. His powerful aura suppressed the entire space, freezing all the guards, who couldn't even blink.
Morris was no exception.
"My foolish otōto (younger brother), you truly disappoint me. It seems you have no purpose other than to become my nourishment."
Lucius opened his grimoire, and a blue sphere of Time Magic spread out, enveloping the entire basement. Everyone was confined by time.
Lucius walked to Zenon's corpse and lightly touched it. His soul flew out, and before he could even utter "Big Brother," he was devoured by Lucius.
Bone Magic obtained!
Lucius looked at Vanica and conceived a plan. He couldn't expose himself yet, so he couldn't devour her as well.
Lucius transformed into Zenon's likeness, and simultaneously used Soul Magic to alter the memories of everyone in the room. He restored the nutrient tank with Time Magic, absorbed the corpse from the ground into his grimoire, and then walked into it.
Lucius disguised himself as the slumbering Zenon. After snapping his fingers, everyone woke up, including the sleeping Vanica.
Lucius used Time Magic to accelerate the flow of time in the space, allowing Vanica to awaken early.
He could no longer wait to open the gate of the underworld.
