Chapter 504: Chapter 421: Battle with Capricorn Chapter 504: Chapter 421: Battle with Capricorn The battle between Star Card Masters, perception was undoubtedly very important.
Among the six senses, the most important were spiritual sense and vision.
Next, were hearing and touch.
Lastly were smell and taste.
And now, just being within Capricorn’s domain had directly lost vision, spiritual sense, and hearing!
Demon Soul just slightly confirmed it, then discovered that smell and taste had also completely disappeared.
Among the six senses, only touch was left!
“How is it, have you already felt my strength?” At this moment, Capricorn’s light laughter suddenly sounded not far from the side.
Demon Soul’s eyes narrowed, enveloped in green flames, sprang forward without hesitation, and swiftly slashed out.
“Missed?”
This strike was empty, undoubtedly it indeed slashed through nothing.
At this moment, Capricorn’s voice came again from the other side.
“Why so eager when you’re about to die?” Capricorn sneered.
Demon Soul realized, Capricorn could control at will whether to deprive oneself of hearing, and presumably, the same was true for the other senses.
“Do you know why I specifically left touch?” Seeing Demon Soul on high alert, Capricorn, holding the Cross Sword, smiled and said, “Because this way, everyone facing their execution can clearly feel the pain of being at my mercy…”
Before the words finished, Capricorn’s mouth grinned wide and swung the sword to kill again.
In an instant, a line of blood spurted from Demon Soul’s shoulder!
Despite Demon Soul being on full alert, in the loss of perception, completely relying on instinct and the tiny changes in airflow from touch, even detecting the attack came too late, completely unable to dodge it!
Besides this, Demon Soul found another point.
That was the two wounds slashed just now, fresh blood continued to flow out, seemingly without any signs of the blood healing.
“Is it because of his Black Cross Sword? Bleeding trait… With this domain, it can indeed kill anyone!”
Demon Soul took a deep breath; in just a moment’s time, many thoughts had already occurred.
The most important thing now was to find a way to block the opponent’s attacks first!
“Evil Fire!”
Demon Soul’s mind moved, instantly releasing a large amount of Evil Fire from within.
After all, it was one’s refined treasure, though invisible, Demon Soul could still sense the area covered by Divine Fire as if it were one’s own limbs.
However, moments after releasing it, Demon Soul realized a problem.
Xia Xuan also had Divine Fire, and the Divine Fire Skill the Karma Fire Lotus Platform seemed more inclined towards defense, yet she still quickly lost the battle…
What was this about?
…
“Divine Fire again? Surprisingly, you encountered two people with Divine Fire consecutively?”
In the Silent Dark Punishment, Blake, watching Demon Soul surrounded by Divine Fire, showed a cold smile amidst his surprise.
“But to me, things like Divine Fire are useless!”
With a flickering figure, Blake charged in again, in the blink of an eye, rushing into the Divine Fire.
However, with black light flowing over Blake, the surging Undead Evil Fire seemed as if non-existent, causing no harm to him!
As the Cross Sword slashed past, another wound appeared on Demon Soul, and fresh blood continuously flowed from it.
Demon Soul frowned: “Using Divine Fire to wound me?”
Initially thought having Divine Fire protection would force Capricorn to resort to some penetrating ranged skill to attack, but unexpectedly, the opponent still directly slashed with the sword.
So he wasn’t afraid of Divine Fire?
Blake’s voice came again: “Are you wondering why I can break through your flame to attack you?
Because in my Silent Dark Punishment, only physical attacks and defense skills are effective.
No matter your Divine Fire or any energy attack or defense skill… as long as it’s an energy attack, it’s all useless!”
Energy ineffective?
Demon Soul’s eyes grew solemn, this was very troublesome.
Originally losing perception greatly weakened strength, now only physical attacks and defense skills worked?
This was too abnormal!
“No wonder Xia Xuan lost so quickly, this domain’s ability is too restraining for archers, magicians, and the like.” Demon Soul fully understood.
Despite having the Karma Fire Lotus Platform’s Divine Fire Skill, in this domain where perception was completely blocked and star power defense couldn’t be used, Xia Xuan probably couldn’t even exert half of her strength!
Even though one’s physical body was stronger, just taking hits wasn’t much better!
However, Demon Soul thought deeper, perhaps only this level of ability could be called the Twelve Star Envoys!
After all, whether it was Pisces’ Absolute Avoidance, Virgo’s Radiant Moon Fusion Beast, Sagittarius’ multiplied damage, or Aries’ Divine Oracle Prophecy…
Which one wasn’t abnormal?
Demon Soul realized one point…
“So this is it.” Demon Soul suddenly grinned, “Even as the domain’s master, you can only use physical attacks, right?”
Blake’s voice suddenly fell silent.
Soon, Demon Soul felt a faint coolness in the abdomen, shivering inwardly, immediately retreating half a step and slashing horizontally!
However, with a pain in the abdomen, another not-too-shallow wound appeared!
As for the counter-slash, it was easily evaded by Capricorn.
“Indeed,” Blake sneered coldly, “As you said, I can only directly attack. But what can you do?”
Demon Soul simply closed the eyes, focused all spirit on sensing the airflow changes through touch.
Though already unable to see, closing the eyes made Demon Soul’s spirit more concentrated.
Demon Soul didn’t believe the opponent’s claim that retaining touch was to “carve up the enemy,” this was clearly a shortcoming of the opponent’s ability.
Otherwise, if touch was also gone, wouldn’t that mean not even knowing how one died? That would be even scarier!
But Yang Yifeng once said, there was no absolutely invincible skill, nor absolutely invincible ability!
“Pretentious!”
With a cold snort, Blake swung the Cross Sword and lunged at Demon Soul again!
One slash after another appeared on Demon Soul, with unhealing wounds continuously bleeding.
However, after some time, Blake began to grow secretly alarmed.
“What’s going on, is his blood inexhaustible!”
Seeing Demon Soul covered in sword wounds, Blake frowned.
With blood flowing for so long, for a normal person, if not dead, should have been exhausted already.
Yet for Demon Soul Avatar, as long as the core remained, blood naturally continued to replenish!
Blake swung another slash, yet this time Demon Soul successfully dodged!
“What!” Blake was shocked inwardly, even slowing the actions slightly.
Demon Soul’s counter-slash directly left a wound on Blake!
“Got you!”
Feeling a slight touch from the long blade, Demon Soul’s heart leaped, knowing this strike hit!
In Demon Soul’s mind, the originally pitch-black world gradually became clearer.
As if entering a remarkable state, it now vaguely captured Blake’s presence…
With one success following another, as time passed, Demon Soul was already covered in dozens of wounds.
Blake, on the other hand, had similarly sustained seven or eight wounds.
But the difference between the two was that Demon Soul’s wounds became shallower, while Blake’s grew deeper!
“His progress is just too fast!” Blake became increasingly alarmed.
As they fought, the opponent before him, even with major senses gone, grew increasingly adept at sensing his presence!
How could this be!
Blake’s mind flickered, splitting into four clones, attacking from four directions.
Though star power couldn’t cause harm, it could disturb Demon Soul’s sensing of the air.
Never having encountered such a situation with Silent Dark Punishment, Blake could only think of this crude method.
With the clones’ coordinated interference, Blake’s Thrust pierced straight through Demon Soul’s left chest, truly piercing through!
“Huh? Success?” Blake felt joy, but the next moment, his expression changed drastically, “No heart?!”
Shocked, Blake tried to pull out the Cross Sword.
Yet Demon Soul’s green flames turned golden, directly using muscles to trap the black sword, while left hand entwined in divine flame grasped it tightly.
“Damn!”
Blake’s expression changed, intending to release and retreat, but Demon Soul’s Demon Saber already slashed down ruthlessly!
Blood splattered, a massive wound ran from Blake’s shoulder to his waist!
Feeling the warm blood splattering on the face, Demon Soul grinned.
“Finally caught you, little rat…”
“Damn!” Blake grunted, desperately retreating to gain distance.
Seeing the massive wound before him, Blake’s face became exceedingly grim.
“Since becoming a Star Envoy, you are the second to make me feel threatened in Silent Dark Punishment.”
The first being Aries Aixilia.
Back then, even with Silent Dark Punishment blocking Aixilia’s perception, she could still foresee his actions, rendering Silent Dark Punishment ineffective against her.
“Is that so?” Demon Soul sneered, “So what? Is that something to be proud of?”
“You?!”
Blake’s speech choked, his face darkened further.
Quickly, Blake calmed, eyes gleaming coldly.
“Do you think those swords meant nothing?” Blake’s voice turned icy.
“Hmm?” Demon Soul’s brows rose, sensing a troublesome move from the opponent.
“Fine then, that earlier sword should suffice. Now, go to hell…” Blake sheathed the Black Cross Sword, raised a hand enveloped in dark light, pointing at Demon Soul, “Even the other Star Envoys don’t know this move, you should feel proud.”
With Blake’s gesture, streams of black light within the domain converged, rushing toward Demon Soul.
“Execution of Termination!”
