Chapter 64 Undead
The Lord of Shadows moved.
But the target was not Soren, but the seemingly weakest Princess, as only she did not emit a significant divinity aura. Since the Princess had somehow dissipated her excess Divine Power Value, her control over power had become increasingly sophisticated, no longer letting her inner tumultuous divine power be noticeable at a glance. From any perspective, the Lord of Shadows’ choice was not wrong, after all, the Princess was clearly the most threatening spellcaster.
However, He obviously did not anticipate one thing: the Princess’s power was actually greater than Soren’s.
In a true face-to-face duel,
the chances of victory between Soren and the Princess were about forty to sixty in favor of the Princess, with at least a twenty percent higher chance of winning.
—“Ice Prison!”
Facing the Lord of Shadows holding the Godslayer Sword, even the powerful Princess did not dare to underestimate the situation; in an instant, she created distance while invoking a large number of protective spells on herself, followed by activating the ice divine power within her, directly imprisoning all the land before her. A wave of frost rapidly spread at a visible speed, as if the entire space had suddenly entered the far north, and even the space itself seemed ready to freeze.
Soren and Eugene’s reaction speed was also extremely quick.
As soon as the Lord of Shadows moved, Eugene roared, and his shadow behind him overlapped with his figure, suddenly causing an aura of divinity to emanate from him like a deity.
Heroic Spirit Fusion!
The past Eugene was not strong enough to achieve a demigod state and could not completely harness the power of the Heroic Spirit, but with his absorption of the Lesser Demon Lord’s divine power, he could no longer be viewed merely as an ordinary demigod.
The Bone War Spear whistled out!
Carrying a tremendous destructive force, Eugene directly threw the war spear in his hand, instantly tearing through space with a sharp sonic boom.
The next moment, the location of the Lord of Shadows appeared to be bombarded, resulting in a massive crater.
“Eugene has become this strong!?”
Soren’s pupils slightly constricted in surprise; it was not the first time someone absorbed the power of a Lesser Demon Lord. A certain unfortunate soul had once been manipulated by the Spider Queen to absorb a Lesser Demon Lord, but unfortunately, that man was too weak and ended up being controlled as a result. Eugene, as a grassroots hero, possessed a will that could not be measured by common sense; he had likely completely suppressed the backlash from the power of the Lesser Demon Lord.
“Ancient Ancestral Spirits! Heed my call!…”
The Ascendant Eugene recited in the ancient orc language, and behind him, more Heroic Spirit shadows emerged—this time more in number, as over ten legendary Heroic Spirits manifested behind him, continuously providing him with power.
Eugene was on the verge of ascending to divinity.
Based on the strength he currently displayed, Soren could be certain that the Ascendant Eugene had mastered the [Half-Orc] domain. This meant he could control all the Half-Orc ancestral spirits.
Once he officially ascended to divinity, all these Half-Orc ancestral spirits would become his divine messengers.
The power brought about by thousands of years of ancestral spirit sacrifices among the Half-Orcs was astonishing! If Eugene could absorb this power for himself, it was very likely he would directly upgrade to [Lesser Divine Power].
Because so far, he was the only Half-Orc who had the potential to ascend to divinity!
If Eugene ascended, he would become the only deity of the Half-Orcs. The unique deity of the race was destined to be stronger than other newly ascended deities.
—“Change Space [Divine Power]!”
—“Change Reality [Divine Power]!”
As the number one tank among the three, Eugene charged forward and intercepted the Lord of Shadows.
The three had long since researched tactics on how to deal with the Lord of Shadows; Eugene was naturally the irreplaceable tank, while the Princess was the primary damage dealer against the Lord of Shadows.
As for Soren’s role, the core was still in using divine power to counter the Lord of Shadows.
He had to use divine power to neutralize the Lord of Shadows’ domain suppression, clashing true gods and their divine powers to give opportunities for the other two to deal damage.
Clang clang!
In the blink of an eye, Eugene had already exchanged hundreds of blows with the Lord of Shadows.
No wonder he could compete with the Ancient Brass Dragon upon appearing; the Ascendant Eugene’s ability to hard-hitting outclassed Soren.
And with a super tank blocking in front, the Princess had time to cast her spells comfortably.
Soren was merely skirting around, yet his divine power value continued to fall, as he could only use [Change Space] divine power to seal the Lord of Shadows’ dimensional jumping ability, allowing others the chance to attack this dangerous enemy.
—“Mayoufu Meteor!”
Eugene’s state was still good; although the Lord of Shadows had high immunity to physical damage, the Princess’s spells were still effective.
Soren used Mayoufu Meteor for harassment attacks while constantly looking for an opportunity to unleash a big move.
The balance of battle was tipping.
The three joined forces to besiege the Lord of Shadows; even with the legendary Godslayer Sword in his hand, His situation gradually became dire.
However,
an unexpected event occurred just as the battle was about to tip.
Crack!
The three, who had clearly begun to gain the upper hand, suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage due to one event.
Eugene’s weapon broke.
Just when the three were increasingly overpowering the Lord of Shadows, the Bone War Spear in Eugene’s hand was abruptly severed by the Lord of Shadows after a parry.
The situation instantly became extremely dangerous!
—“Shadow Clone.”
In an instant, the Lord of Shadows transformed into three, with three identical Lords of Shadows appearing before Soren.
Immediately following, the other two Lords of Shadows surged in from two side angles, directly attacking the Eugene who had been entangled with him, and in the next moment, Eugene’s ancient, sturdy body trembled; the two incarnations of the Lord of Shadows swung the Godslayer Sword directly into Eugene’s heart.
A true incarnation.
Both incarnations of the Lord of Shadows were true shadow lives; in the moment Eugene’s Bone War Spear was severed, he could not avoid the attacks of the enemies.
Then, the Lord of Shadows mercilessly pierced his heart.
Thud!
A rush of blood poured forth; Eugene, struck in the heart by the enemy, did not die; his overwhelming vitality kept him standing tall. This was the power of the legendary specialty [Epic Resilience], which could not be killed even by fatal wounds.
Roar!
The wound in his heart seemed to have ignited the rage within Eugene; unexpectedly, he disregarded it, letting out a furious roar, and with his bare hands, grabbed the Godslayer Sword piercing his heart.
A terrifying power erupted; though the Lord of Shadows was agile and powerful, Eugene’s grasp prevented the weapon from being removed.
