Chapter 203, "The Lord of Evil Desire," makes his first appearance on the Northern Contine
Chapter 203, "The Lord of Evil Desire," makes his first appearance on the Northern Continent.
Suddenly, a cold wind swept through the castle's hall, and the normally bright candlelight and the firelight in the brazier turned green.
A humanoid ghost suddenly appeared before Raphael and Sharon.
Raphael smacked his lips, feeling as if his mouth was blessed, granting whatever he said.
Miss Sharon glanced at Raphael, then looked at the ghost over there. She opened her mouth and let out a piercing shriek. The newly formed ghost suddenly trembled and faded considerably.
The ghost raised its hands, and the surrounding air seemed to turn icy cold, forming a layer of white frost on the ground that spread toward Raphael and Sharon.
Sharon snapped her fingers, and a sudden gust of cold wind blew up the white frost on the ground, causing it to swirl around the ghost.
The "Prisoner" pathway, following the "Undead" pathway, grants the ability to manipulate frost.
Sharon now has a Sequence 4 level, which is already a very good means of attack.
Surrounded by white frost, the ghost was frozen into a rhombus-shaped ice crystal.
Miss Sharon raised both hands and twisted them in different directions. The ice crystals shattered, and the ghost was first twisted into a pretzel, and then directly twisted into pieces.
Just as Raphael was about to speak, Sharon looked over and stopped him with a look.
Raphael smiled helplessly: "I found the pattern in this illusion. The 'master' of the illusion should be relatively weak, and I also invited a helper like you, so this time I can only carry out a 'guided' attack."
"It seems that it provides us with whatever kind of monsters we want to see."
"Although I didn't realize it, these illusions must have also borrowed our own power."
Sharon nodded. She had a similar thought, which was why she wanted to stop Raphael from creating enemies for them.
Raphael added, "The situation is a bit bad. The other side is clearly stalling for time; it may have reinforcements."
He estimated that the "Master of the Illusion" must have realized that it could no longer fulfill the oracle of the "Mother Tree of Desire," so it also asked for help.
Therefore, we cannot be allowed to remain stuck here; we urgently need to break this deadlock.
However, the "Master of the Illusion" is hiding somewhere in the illusion and has no intention of fighting Sharon and Raphael head-on.
The two looked back at the castle hall, where the candlelight and firelight had returned to normal, but they couldn't find anything unusual.
The outside world at this time.
Raphael and Sharon stood there hand in hand, motionless.
Lucia dared not watch the battle unfold. From her observation, Jonathan seemed to have completely lost himself. Her last hope was that Jonathan would recover after Miss Sharon killed the "Master of the Illusion".
So Marich is tasked with dealing with Jonathan, while Lucia deals with another affected Extraordinary.
She vented all her anger on her enemy, but fortunately, the enemy was quite resilient. After being beaten from head to toe, the enemy was still able to stand up and let her continue to beat him.
Fors and Hugh worked together seamlessly to hold off the other two enemies.
These four enemies are the four extraordinary individuals that Hugh and Raphael encountered yesterday who were affected. They seem to have suddenly acquired Sequence 5 level abilities, but without the strength of Sequence 5.
The so-called "Sequence 5 strength" means that it can fight against a regular Sequence 5, or at least not be at a significant disadvantage.
But they were different; the transitions between their abilities were abrupt. One second they were trying to manipulate the target's emotions, and the next they were unleashing a spear as sharp as a tree branch. The emotions that had just begun to build were thus interrupted.
Therefore, although Fors and the other three were unable to defeat their opponents immediately, the battle was relatively easy. They were fully capable of protecting Raphael and Sharon from harm.
They were all waiting, waiting for Raphael and Miss Sharon to succeed in the illusion.
Suddenly, the four of them felt a chill run down their spines. They all looked in the direction of Backlund, as if an evil creature was rapidly approaching them.
The next instant, Fors and the others felt as if some part of their souls had been gripped by that evil force!
That's their desire!
From this very second onward, the moment they have any desire, their spirit and emotions will be completely ignited.
That "evil creature" was an accomplice invited by the "master of the illusion," a demon at the saint level.
He is also a devout believer in the "Mother Tree of Desire".
Marich and his men immediately realized that the operation was going to fail—failure was a minor matter; they would most likely die here.
Just then, a black figure sitting on a wooden chair suddenly appeared in the sky above Raphael.
It seemed to be a symbol of all malice; its mere presence alone could instill endless evil in those present.
Everyone present unconsciously lowered their heads. Their spiritual senses detected a tremendous crisis, as if just one glance could plunge them into an endless abyss.
The battle on the ground immediately ceased, and Marich ended his "possession," emerging from Jonathan's body. Lucia paused, thinking: Is this the "Fool" that Miss Sharon mentioned? He truly is a powerful evil god, possessing such a strong aura of malevolence.
Fors and Hugh exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly saying: It's not Mr. Fool.
Although Mr. Fool can be very oppressive, this deity is not evil.
Then, they all looked at Raphael, who remained motionless.
They certainly remembered that the reason Raphael first came into the view of the Tarot Club members was because Mr. Fool had "The World" and "Justice" investigate the special qualities in him.
Could it be that Raphael was a follower of an evil god, which is why he attracted the attention of Mr. Fool?
But what is very contradictory is that Mr. Fool knew that Raphael was a follower of an evil god, so why did he trust him so much?
They were completely unaware that Mr. Fool was also unaware of this!
That evil god is, of course, Raphael from the "Dark Lodge".
Raphael from the other world knew about the midnight operation, and he needed to inject a large amount of energy into his real-world self at a crucial moment, so he waited in the "Dark Hut".
Unexpectedly, they received help from the "master of the illusion".
There was no time to hesitate; he could only descend as the "Lord of Evil Desires" to intimidate the high-ranking demon.
The Lord of Evil Desire clenched his fist and mobilized the power of the Dark Abode with all his might. An invisible force rippled outwards from him like waves.
A mental shock!
However, this ability at Sequence 5 level is at the level of a demigod.
Fors and the others immediately felt a powerful mental shock, but they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The force that had been holding their desires in check seemed to have been suddenly shattered by some other force.
