CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 209: OLD SEN LEGENDARY PICTURES_3

The ominous magic-powered weapon came crashing down on him.

After being struck for the eighth time, Rowena began her pursuit.

Suddenly, Kadela realized a terrifying fact; when that ominous weapon smashed onto his head, he was utterly unable to use Magic. He wanted to use the Soul Transfer Spell to escape, but the ebony wand had long been taken by Rowena, and the pain along with the shock left him unable to concentrate. His soul hadn’t had the chance to transform into black smoke to flee before Rowena intercepted him.

What kind of... spell is this?

No, this isn’t a magic duel at all!

No sorcerer would, during a duel, pin their opponent down and hammer their head with blunt objects.

More terrifying for Kadela was the realization that his soul was weakening with every strike.

"Wait, stop!"

He cried out in horror, "You can’t do this, according to the rules of the magic duel, you can’t pursue—"

"I’ve never heard of such a rule."

"Then you just..."

"I was merely observing your recovery time."

A bloodthirsty and enraged voice came from above his head, "Under such circumstances, you can’t cast spells anymore."

Rowena was furious.

Kadela felt each of her strikes becoming increasingly violent, akin to his soul form, Rowena had also acquired special physic—demons possessed strength and stamina that were beyond ordinary.

He instantly understood Rowena’s intention.

This demon intended to crush him to death, until his soul shattered to pieces!

Rowena similarly exploited the loopholes in the rules of the magic duel; no sorcerer had ever before used such a method to defeat an opponent, yet the rules never prohibited duelists from hitting and kicking their opponents.

Because, the rules also left the duelists who found themselves in absolutely disadvantaged positions with one last avenue of escape.

The shattered and dissipating soul made Kadela unable to wait any longer, nor could he determine where his consciousness would be if his soul shattered, perhaps that would be true death.

He didn’t want or couldn’t die here!

"Stop, stop, I lost, I surrender!"

Kadela shouted in panic.

According to the rules of the magic duel, once a party surrenders, any pursuit thereafter would be deemed blasphemy towards the God of Trickery.

The strikes fell like pouring rain ceased, and Kadela collapsed to the ground, gasping heavily.

His brain was racing rapidly, he lost the duel but still had a glimmer of hope.

"You... came for Kadela’s treasure, I can hand over part of what I possess to you, if you kill me, perhaps the treasure will disappear too!"

At the moment he chose to return to mortality, more and more emotions surged forth.

The fear of death, the desire for life...

Kadela was now like a drowning person, this was the only thing he could cling to, he looked up, seeing the presence above the curtain.

His throat moved.

Perhaps this wasn’t enough to save his life, but Kadela immediately thought of a more ingenious idea, a proposition the Master of Demons, Sincaro, couldn’t refuse.

"I am willing to become your supporter, I can help you break the seal left by the gods!"

With his remaining strength, he shouted towards the presence above the black curtain, "You would surely find me useful!"

Even Rowena revealed a surprised look, she glanced at the shadow above.

If the Master of Demons, Sincaro, actually appeared here, he might genuinely consider Kadela’s proposal; he had gathered the Divine Attendants, observing the world in secret, perhaps no one knew better than Kadela about everything that happened in this world over the past thousands of years.

Unfortunately, Sincaro wasn’t here, above them was merely a scene crafted by Ethan using upgraded ice Elemental Magic, and Kadela’s suggestion was doomed not to reach the ears of the Master of Demons.

Rowena stared motionlessly at the struggling and surviving man beneath her, suddenly feeling a bit nauseated.

She could hardly imagine a god showing such a flattering look like him, willing to personally help bring the Old Gods back to this world just to survive.

"Then divulge it, everything you know."

Rowena looked down at him.

She saw Kadela’s face brighten with the smile of someone who survived a disaster, it seemed this man had already begun plotting how to flatter Sincaro.

Gray-white light dots left his body, floating in the air.

Everything returned to the beginning.

It was still the back hall of the star-gazing chamber, where Kadela lay at the center of the meditation pool.

Sincaro wasn’t here, but it was under the witness of the God of Trickery.

Kadela’s desire for life, and his vow to pledge allegiance to Sincaro, was fully conveyed to the ears of the God of Trickery—though the true God had long perished.

Kadela’s face still retained the ingratiating smile, speaking of his plans, "I can use the Divine Attendants to find the seal’s location, they all trust me immensely!"

"Is that so?"

Before Rowena could continue speaking, a surge of massive Magic Power from behind knocked Rowena aside, and from within the stars emerged a pale palm.

Kadela hadn’t even had time to scream before his soul was crushed by the palm.

A punishment without independent thought, akin to the Master of Knights’ punishment upon oath-breakers.
