Chapter 481: The Strange Encounter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lucien Evans! He was Lucien Evans!

Although Ramiro’s power had been reduced to level seven, he still recognized who this young man was as Lucien did not even try to conceal his magic waves. Ramiro had a much deeper understanding of what kind of danger he was now facing..

After twelve seconds, his power would probably be further reduced by one level. If that was the case, Ramiro would have no chance at all fighting against Lucien Evans who had numerous powerful magic items. Ramiro knew that Lucien Evans had a powerful magic staff inlaid with Sun Stone that could cast Confinement. If Lucien Evans got the chance to curse his soul or intervene with his destiny, it would be the end of Ramiro!

What was worse to Ramiro was that it was not his first time fighting with Lucien Evans, and Lucien Evans had for sure seen how he exploded but still survived. Now that his biggest secret weapon had been revealed to Lucien, Lucien would definitely take precautions against it.

Lucien Evans cast two magic spells successively. Seeing this, Ramiro believed that Lucien Evans was in the middle of the buffering time for the next round of casting.

This was the best opportunity for him to turn the tables. The longer he waited, the more dangerous it would be!

He had to make a decision, right now.

Lots of uncontrolled thoughts flashed through Ramiro’s mind. But within a second, Ramiro, an experienced fighter, made the best decision based on the current situation — to explode himself!

Although it had been his second time exploding himself in the recent two to three months, although he had not recovered from the last self-explosion, although this might leave his body damaged for a long time and prevent him from reaching the next level, Ramiro still made the decision! Hesitation would be the most powerful weapon he gave to his own enemy! If he died, his body would be damaged forever and he would never be able to reach the next level.

Bang! The deafening explosion turned the gold, silver, and gems nearby into ashes. The horrible power of the shock waves made a violent dash towards Lucien!

Ramiro did not expect that this would kill Lucien Evans.

But this would definitely interrupt and break off Lucien’s next spell in preparation!

Ramiro’s will seemed to fuse with this great explosion.

Lucien’s buffering time for casting was a two to three times shorter than most sixth-circle sorcerers, as he had adopted the Wave-Particle Dualism meditation method, which was closer to the truth of the world. Also, more importantly, one of the first two spells he just threw at Ramiro was only fourth circle and the other was from the Immortal Throne robe. Therefore, it only took Lucien about a second to recover.

Ramiro expected that Lucien Evans would turn to cast a defense spell to protect himself against the explosion. It would win him a very short period of time for transferring his soul.

When overwhelming blast waves rushed from all the directions, self-defense was always the first choice.

Lucien recovered earlier than Ramiro expected and he was indeed about to activate Energy Absorption Field.

However, at this time, Lucien recalled what he had been warning himself repeatedly,

“If I can’t kill or confine Ramiro, he will tell the Church who I am. If that happens, I’ll definitely have no more chance to observe how a god is produced this closely, and I’ll be in great trouble if a Grand Cardinal decides to target at me.”

“I cannot let Ramiro get out of my control. I have to kill him or confine him!”

The consequences of letting Ramiro escape flashed through Lucien’s mind. Therefore, instead of protecting himself, Lucien seized the chance to activate one of his magic items.

A crystal-clear ray shot out from Lucien’s left chest and right into the dusty blast waves in freezing temperature.

Meanwhile, the horrible explosion hit Lucien, and he disappeared right on spot.

The next second when Lucien appeared again, he was already standing beside the entrance of the secret tunnel, with a layer of energy shield covering him.

Since Lucien first activated the magic item, the timing of opening the shield was slightly delayed. Lucien’s face turned pale, and there was blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. He had to thank the protection from the Immortal Throne robe he was wearing, and also, the Short Distance Teleportation that removed him from the first and most powerful round of blast, or now he would have been severely injured again just like the time when he was thrown into this realm.

When the dust was settling down, Lucien took out a tube of Water Song and drank it all. His face now looked less pale.

Because of the freezing effect of Silent Coffin, the power of the blast didn’t last long. It faded away completely after several seconds. On the ground was a layer of dust that was once gold, silver, and gems. Many divine items and materials were also destroyed during the explosion.

As Lucien examined his surroundings cautiously, he saw a crystal lying at the spot where Ramiro exploded. In the crystal, there was a strange shadow.

Lucien picked up the crystal using Mage Hand. He was sure that this was part of the Silent Coffin which had not yet completely melted.

When Lucien took a closer look at the shadow inside the crystal, he saw the pale face of Ramiro. The look on the face was rigid and hollow as if the face had been frozen in there for over thousands of years.

It seemed that both Ramiro’s body and soul were very special. Before when Lucien cast the spell, Silent Coffin, neither one’s body nor soul could survive in the end under the dissolving power. Lucien sealed this crystal piece using magic and then took out his Morning Light crystal ball. Through the crystal ball, Lucien tried to see if he could find any connections to the face frozen in the crystal and thus locate any separate flesh that Ramiro might use for his resurrection.

Lucien once saw Ramiro explode with his own eyes, and then he saw Ramiro alive right in front of him. There was no doubt that Ramiro had his own way to come back to life. Lucien guessed that it was because of Ramiro’s creepy self-division and reproduction power.

Lucien did not know whether directly wiping off Ramiro’s remaining soul would thoroughly eliminate him or not, therefore, he decided to find what was left by Ramiro first.

Ramiro’s resurrection did not rely on any magic rites, so there must be some restrictions on space or time. Thus, Lucien believed that Ramiro’s way of resurrection should be different from a lich’s phylactery or Felipe’s improved Life Hiding spell, which could allow its owner to resurrect regardless of the place and time death occurred.

Of course, if Ramiro’s blood power was indeed powerful enough to exceed the restrictions of time and space, or if Ramiro’s remaining body part was hidden in the Holy City Lance, then Lucien would have no other choices but to run for his life after leaving the realm of the Lord of Underworld.

In the crystal ball, there were two light spots, connected by a faintly discernible line.

It seemed like Ramiro’s body part for resurrection was just by the entrance of the realm. No wonder it took Ramiro a while before entering here — He was setting up the things needed for resurrection. Lucien was quite surprised. Putting aside the crystal, Lucien hurried up to collect the remaining materials and divine items.

From the line shown in the crystal ball, Lucien knew that the resurrection had not started yet, because he had frozen Ramiro’s soul.

Lucien collected more Adamantine, Mythril, Soul Stone, and Blood Steel than he thought. Although the Meteoric Iron left was not a lot, it was enough for Lucien. Also, Lucien found a precious flower called Annocheer for fixing his Health Belt. Now, all he needed was some Ice Iron.

Suddenly, the entire palace started shaking so hard that Lucien almost fell to the ground. Black miasma poured in, dissolving everything.

What did Francis do?

The domain had started breaking down!

The situation suddenly became very dangerous. Lucien hurriedly turned to his Host Star of Destiny to find a way out using prophecy.

The stars changed the order, and the light of the crystal ball pointed to the secret tunnel Asin went into.

Lucien was a bit surprised to see that the secret tunnel was not for digging into the realm but rather the way to exist. But now there was no time for him to think about other plans. Casting Speed on himself, he dashed into the tunnel.

Along the tunnel, there were specters trapped inside the walls. The distorted faces extended their pale arms, trying to grab Lucien, but Lucien was too fast for them. The specters left behind were soon devoured by the collapsion.

At the end of the tunnel, there was a hall, where a headless death knight rushed out directly at Lucien. The realm was collapsing, and the death knight had gone mad.

Lucien pointed at the knight with his right hand, and a jade-green ray shot out.

The death knight was too insane to dodge, and the green ray hit the death knight right in front of his chest. Instantly, its body dissolved into the tiny green light spots and disappeared.

The sixth-circle spell, Dissociation!

It seemed that the guards here had also been greatly weakened as the realm collapsed. Lucien wondered how Asin left this place. But since Asin even knew the existence of the secret chamber, He must have been well-prepared.

At the bottom of the palace, there was a huge black gate. The gate was so tightly closed as if nothing could open it.

Chasing behind Lucien was the overwhelming black miasma like waves, quietly devouring everything in its way.

Lucien started chanting silently. The invisible magic waves reached the gate and distorted it.

The part of the gate which had affected became translucent like it was a piece of black glass.

Lucien ran up to it and hit the glass with his right shoulder, and the gate collapsed like real glass!

The black pieces fell onto the ground, and Lucien used all of his strength and jumped out.

The sixth-circle spell, Dulag’s Glass!

Lucien then felt the coldness of river water.

He looked back and saw that the realm of the Lord of Underworld had disappeared completely. He somehow had this feeling and took out the crystal containing Ramiro’s soul and saw that the piece of flesh inside was wriggling, and the soul was swelling, as if it was going to explode.

Lucien was quite shocked and became quite anxious.

Not knowing what was going on, Lucien cast a spell named Sea Cloak and swam towards the place he located indicated in the crystal ball.

He could leave no chance to Ramiro!

The place was not far away, but before Lucien arrived, the crystal piece had melted, together with the soul and the flesh.

Coming to a huge rock in the river, Lucien approached the bank in great caution, knowing that Ramiro might have come back to life again.

Pushing the water plants aside, the look on Lucien’s blanked out. He did not see Ramiro here. Instead, there was a young girl. Her blond hair was tied into a ponytail on the right and hung down onto her shoulder. Beside her was a long sword on black fire, and she was holding a strange-shaped tree branch, on which there was a dark piece of meat.

She was roasting the meat on the black fire of the sword.

“What are you doing here?” A strange feeling of intimacy made Lucien ask this question.

The young girl turned around. Her scarlet eyes looked at Lucien seriously as if Lucien just asked a question that was too obvious.

“I’m making beef jerky.”
