Throne of Magical Arcana
chapter-701

In the Seething Ocean.

Gonheim’s mind had instantly made it take actions. The darkness contracted and an invisible net of dark and ice started forming on the outside to protect itself.

During the process, the Ice and Snow Lady was fighting against the darkness at full attack to prevent it from retreating back into the darkness.

The falling snowflakes had frozen the boiling lava and everything they had touched. The Ice and Snow Lady had used the power from its demon core, as this was a perfect chance for her to kill her biggest enemy and ascend to the throne of prince of demons! Now she had totally been controlled by the desire of devouring and killing!

Such great effort from the Ice and Snow Lady prevented Gonheim’s power from contracting further, while the voice of casting the top legendary spells was already sounding in the air above the Seething Ocean.

Gonheim was furious, but it still managed to make the correct choice. The real Gonheim in Frozen Fortress suddenly looked half-transparent as most of its power had been infused into its projection which was facing the great danger in the Seething Ocean. Gonheim did so because both the legendary sorcerers and Natasha were able to kill his real self in the fortress by tracing the projection back!

In the sky, the right hand with dark nails suddenly turned totally black. The black was like from the deepest, horrifying night. The super low temperature it brought to the battlefield even had instantly frozen Ice and Snow Lady in the air and turned her into a crystal statue!

Gonheim could have severely hurt the Ice and Snow Lady at this time, but it had to defend itself! Gonheim had to make its choice!

The entire freezing world started cracking because of the spell, and meanwhile, the universe could keep growing back.

Luxury Cracking managed to penetrate the dark and ice net by several layers, but not all of them. Gonheim remained safe under the net, together with its many legendary extraordinary items!

It was one of the rare occasions that Luxury Cracking failed to sweep over the entire battlefield. In the abyss, Gonheim had very strong resistance to magic and it could even be partially immune to Luxury Cracking!

The roaring storm drew the black right hand in and then bolts of lightning lit up within. Stars rose up into the air and they had turned the sky above the Seething Ocean into a magnificent starry sky!

The dazzling stars then shot at the right hand of Demogorgon of Darkness with great momentum, and they hit the black right hand almost at the same time!

Boom!

The storm exploded. Flame and sparks were everywhere. It looked like the black huge hand was “bleeding”, but it wasn’t blood coming out. Instead, it was the intimidating black drops of liquid which were of extremely low temperature. Anything that the black drops touched could be turned into solid ice.

Under the joint attack launched by the three top legendaries, and with the distraction by the other two demon lords, the layers of defense of Demogorgon of Darkness had finally been broken. Gonheim was injured!

If it had not managed to pull back most of the power from its true self, the demogorgon would have been much more severely injured, or even have fallen!

In the pale sky above Frozen Fortress, the Lord of Spectres wielded its Sickle of Death. The power in the sickle could wither everything in space. And with this endless power of death, the sickle hacked all the way into the fortress!

It did not take an illusionary form, so now Apsis, which was a few hundred meters tall, was even bigger than the fortress! Frozen Fortress appeared like a small miniature in comparison to the huge Sickle of Death which was even bigger than Apsis!

This one single hack filled with desperation, agony, struggling and cursing had directly gone through the outside defense of the fortress. Because Gonheim had just taken the power away, this one single layer of defense was now all the fortress was left!

The huge left hand with dark nails had to reach out from the fortress to block the blade!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

When the sickle cut the left hand, the bitter and furious crying burst out from within the fortress. There was now a deep cut in the palm, and the dark blue blood gushed out. Wherever the blue blood was, everything was covered by a layer of ice.

Losing most of its power, although Frozen Fortress was its home, Demogorgon of Darkness was still extremely weak. It was already a very bitter fight for it to keep the Lord of Death out.

Apsis had no facial expression. However, a cluster of white flames appeared in each of its eye sockets. Its demon nature had been triggered, and thus the following rounds of attack were getting more and more violent.

Lucien’s left eye was as pure and red as a ruby. A ray shot out from his left eye and hit Gonheim’s right hand which just reached out from the darkness at unrivalled speed.

The darkness could not stop or freeze the ray. The red ray went through the darkness directly through the hand!

The crisp penetrating sound was very clear in the space. In Gonheim’s right hand, there was a deep hole. The heat of the ray had burned the skin and flesh black!

When Gonheim’s defense had been completely removed, Lucien’s Vengeful Gaze plus Hand of Uncertainties worked very well!

This wasn’t the end. The paralysis in the right hand did not slow it down from blocking Natasha’s hacking. The tiny fine electric currents together with the extremely cold ice prevented the blade of Sword of Truth from cutting deeper!

Then another round of attacks had been launched by the Ice and Snow Lady and the Lord of Spectres on both sides.

In this situation, even Gonheim started feeling a bit disadvantaged.

Gonheim knew that it should not let the situation get any worse. Even at some cost, it had to return to Frozen Fortress. As the most cunning demon ever, Gonheim had made its decision. The joint effort of Douglas, Fernando, Hathaway, Natasha Violet, Lucien Evans, and Ice and Snow Lady could rival a demigod in its away battlefield!

However, at this time, to its great shock, Gonheim saw the starry sky disappearing, the lightning storm dying, and the gorgeous figure fading away.

Were those all fake?

No… That was the power from top legendary…

Were those summoned demiplanes? But why did the summoning take such a short time?

There were so many thoughts flashing through Gonheim’s mind. But it knew one thing for certain – It had been fooled by Lucien Evans!

This one-second distraction had a cost. Apsis had cut in the left palm further and the right hand had been trapped by Ice and Snow Lady.

Gonheim saw Lucien and Natasha smiling at itself, as they gradually looked more and more transparent. Lucien took off his top hat and put it on his chest to show his appreciation, while Natasha had a big smile on her face and saluted in the manner of knight.

The two figures then disappeared. When they appeared again, they had directly entered Chaotic Cosmos!

“Damn it!” Gonheim’s was outraged by Lucien’s slyness, but was prevented from chasing them by Ice and Snow Lady and the Lord of Death. It would not be able to get rid of them within thirty seconds, but thirty seconds were already enough for the two legendaries to find the core of one of the demiplanes!

Also, its entire plan would be in danger when Lucien was free in Chaotic Cosmos!

The presence of Demogorgon of Darkness was the reason why Lucien had prepared so long before entering Chaotic Cosmos.

Although the presence of Chaotic Cosmos was a big secret to sorcerers and saint cardinals, a few demon lords in the abyss knew it, not to mention the second leader of the abyss, the prince of demons.

The previous prince of demons was too obsessed with slaughtering to pay much attention to some legendary material like Time Plate, therefore, Lucien believed that the plate would always be there when it was under the control of the previous prince. However, the new demon prince was Gonheim, “Demogorgon of Darkness”, the most demonized demon ever. Even if it did not need the plate, Lucien believed that it would take the plate away for trading and exchange of interests. Gonheim would not leave such a good thing idle.

Therefore, after making sure that the pate was still in Chaotic Cosmos using astrology, Lucien assumed that Demogorgon of Darkness had come up with such a plan. Then Lucien contacted his “allies” and prepared the summoning rites for legendary demiplanes, which was the research result from his student, Heidi.

While most sorcerers could only use a small part of the summoned demiplane’s power, since Lucien had told Douglas, Fernando, and Hathaway his plan, all of them had agreed to lend him the top legendary power through the summoning rites.

Of course, the summoned demiplanes could only afford launching one single round of attacks. After that, they would all disappear. But that was all Lucien asked for – to hold Gonheim back so that he and Natasha could have enough time to get Time Plate and then leave.

Lucien did not mind using the borrowed power to kill Gonheim, however, the last thing he wanted to do was to piss off the Will of Abyss. In the abyss, if he had asked the three legendaries to come here and kill the prince, the Will of Abyss would probably have arrived!

Also, if Lucien had wanted to have the three legendaries here in person, he would have to to use other methods instead of the summoning rite, and then very likely Gonheim, the extremely cunning top legendary, would have noticed it!

Therefore, after weighing the situation, Lucien had made this decision, although he personally did prefer to kill the prince to save future troubles.

As for if the Lord of Spectres and Ice and Snow Lady could achieve their targets, Lucien did not care. He had helped them kill the firelord and severely hurt Demogorgon of Darkness, so he had kept his promise.
