Chapter 841 The Great Wizard of Darkness
As one of the top great wizards of the Dark Parliament, Cesar had also partic.i.p.ated in the attack on Grand Duke Andrey’s estate.
During the day, he met Qin Haodong by chance. He immediately felt the familiar aura of this young man and realized that this was the man who had destroyed the black witchcraft spell he had cast on Angel.
Cesar was vicious, vengeful, and cunning. He knew that this young man must be very capable since he could destroy his witchcraft spell.
His strength would be greatly weakened during the day, so Cesar secretly left a mark on Xi Youmi and would return for revenge at nightfall.
“Come out and let me kill you, you ignorant boy from Huaxia!”
Cesar’s rough voice rang out through the night sky, sounding like the harsh cry of a crow, which made people shudder with fear.
When he heard someone challenging his master, Lev immediately got up and was about to rush out. Qin Haodong stopped him, “Wait, we should go out together.”
With the help of his strong Spirit, Qin Haodong had realized that the dark aura outside the courtyard was very powerful. Lev was no match for him before the transformation.
He said to Jankovic and Alex with a faint smile, “Excuse me, it seems like I’m in big trouble now. We’d better go out and take a look.”
It was not right for Alex and Jankovic, who were both guests, to stay and enjoy the meal since the host had left. They followed Qin Haodong to the courtyard.
Jankovic and Alex were quite surprised to see Cesar at the door. They had been enemies for many years, and they had just fought last night, so both of them recognized this great wizard of the Dark Parliament at first glance.
Cesar also saw Alex at the same time. When he saw Khorkina and her daughter, his black robe shook a little as he was greatly shocked.
Why did a Huaxia man, the Pontifex Maximus and Paladin of the Divine Court, the Prince of Vampire of the Dark Parliament, and the Duke of vampire gather together?
Khorkina was about to step forward to deal with Cesar when Qin Haodong stopped her.
She did not know what her master meant, but as a servant, the only thing she needed to do was obey.
Qin Haodong asked Cesar, “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
As the great wizard of the Dark Parliament, Cesar had always been arrogant. Although he didn’t understand what was going on here, he still didn’t change his plan of taking revenge.
One of the main reasons was that he had his own ways of escaping. Even if there was a Paladin and a Pontifex Maximus, he could still run away if he was defeated.
“Huaxia man, did you break the dark witchcraft spell I cast on that little girl?”
Qin Haodong nodded, “How dare you hurt such a little girl!”
“You must die today,” Cesar said darkly. “According to our rules, the blood of anyone who dares to destroy our magic must be sacrificed to the Dark Witch G.o.d.”
“You think dark wizards are great? Can’t you see I’m guarded by a great knight?” Qin Haodong said to Jankovic with a smile, “Mr. Paladin, am I right?
“They are dark creatures, enemies of the Divine Court. As a member of the Divine Court, of course, you can’t just sit back and watch.”
He could of course kill Cesar by himself, but Jankovic had challenged him during dinner, so Qin Haodong deliberately asked him to fight against the dark wizard.
Jankovic’s expression suddenly changed. He didn’t want to do Qin Haodong the favor, so he had kept quiet from the beginning.
Qin Haodong repeated what he said before. As the Paladin of the Divine Court, he could only stand up.
“Cesar, you’re not allowed to do any evil as long as I’m here. You’d better submit as soon as possible and purify your dark soul with our holy light.”
Cesar said coldly, “Jankovic, you think you’re great, don’t you? I’m here for this Huaxia person today, but if you want to get involved, I’ll kill you both.”
“Evil dark creatures, go to h.e.l.l!”
Jankovic shouted loudly and slashed Cesar with his Holy Light Cross Sword.
Cesar flicked his black robe upwards. A ball of black energy wrapped around the Holy Light Cross Sword.
The Holy Light could restrain dark creatures, but its effect was temporary. The black Qi was so strong that it disappeared into the night with the Holy Light.
Cesar had to be a great master because he easily dealt with the blow from a Paladin.
Cesar didn’t stop at that. He raised his hand and a staff topped with a s.h.i.+ning crystal ball appeared in his hand.
“Jankovic, I’ll let you have a taste of the souls of all beasts.”
Then he dripped a drop of blood on the staff. Black smoke emerged and finally turned into the souls of wild beasts.
All these animals—lions, tigers, bears, and elephants—became powerful after being reinforced by the dark magic. They pounced on Jankovic at the same time, like real animals.
Jankovic was very careful when facing this dark magic. He slashed out at the beast souls unceasingly with his Cross Sword.
He was the most powerful Paladin in the Divine Court and his Holy Light Cross Sword was also a holy weapon. Its power was amazing.
The spirit of a tiger lunged at Jankovic, but before it could get any closer, it was cut in half by a flash of light and was then purified.
In less than a minute, nearly a hundred souls of the wild beasts which had been released by Cesar had been killed by Jankovic.
After the small victory, he became complacent and shouted to Cesar, “Kneel down and beg for mercy quickly. I’ll purify your soul with the holy light.”
Cesar was dressed in a black robe and even his face could not be seen. The slight shaking of his robe suggested that he was very angry at this moment.
“Darkness has descended. Low and humble creatures, use your souls as a sacrifice—kill your souls.”
When he finished his incantation, a thicker black mist spurted out of his crystal staff. It flew into the air instead of going toward Jankovic.
The black gas stopped about 10 meters above the ground, forming an inverted gyro, and then began to spin rapidly.
The black gas then formed a vortex. The huge suction force swept toward Jankovic, like a range hood or a bottomless black hole.
Jankovic’s expression suddenly changed. He had already sensed the enormous power hidden inside the vortex. His soul was even eager to leave his body. If his soul was really sucked into the black vortex, he would be doomed eternally.
“Please bestow power upon me, Holy Light Slas.h.!.+”
With a blinding flash, the sword flew like a shooting star into the black swirl above them.
With a loud crash, the black and white lights collided, creating a violent whirlwind that swept in all directions.
This was a powerful blow, but the whirlpool above them was not fully destroyed. The spinning top formed by the black gas rotated again after a slight pause and soon returned to its previous state.
Jankovic was shocked. He had already gone all out with that blow, but he still failed to break Cesar’s dark magic.
The suction came closer and he could only wave the sword again. The light of the sword could only relieve the incoming suction, and could not completely destroy the black gas overhead. So he would surely be exhausted before Cesar was killed.
After more than a dozen strikes, Jankovic was covered in cold sweat, and his Holy Light was getting weaker. He was about to lose.
Though his soul had not been sucked away yet, his long blond hair flew upward due to the suction of the black whirlpool, and his clothes became disheveled. He looked extremely messy now.
The people next to him saw this clearly. Qin Haodong still had a smile on his face. This guy had been pretentious since they met and he had been making trouble for him. It was reasonable to let him suffer.
Khorkina and Lev were enemies of the Divine Court. They would be happy to see his soul being sucked away by Cesar.
Alex was different. After all, both she and Jankovic were members of the Divine Court, and she couldn’t just stand and watch her companion being killed by the dark magic.
She offered help at this critical moment.
“G.o.d rules everything. G.o.d says that all dark creatures in the world should evolve. Purify.”
After chanting the spell, Alex pointed at the black vortex in the sky with one hand. The night sky suddenly lit up, and the holy light covered the black vortex.
Though Cesar barely gained the upper hand in the battle with Jankovic, he was unable to withstand the joint efforts of Pontifex Maximus and the Paladin. The black vortex was instantly purified by Alex.
Jankovic was finally relieved. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and tidied up his messy hair.
He had fought against Cesar many times, but he had never seen such strange dark witchcraft. He was almost killed today.
What mattered most was that he had been humiliated in front of Qin Haodong, which made him angry and ashamed. He raised the Holy Light Cross Sword and shouted, “Cesar, go to h.e.l.l.”
“Shame on you. How dare you work together to fight against me! I’ll never forget what happened today and I’ll definitely get even with you someday.”
He clearly knew that he was no match for Alex and Jankovic. So he stamped his foot, turned into a ray of black light, and tried to leave.
With a m.u.f.fled bang, the black light he turned into crashed into an invisible wall. It seemed that he was trapped.
“What is this?”
Cesar became fl.u.s.tered. The reason why he dared to come here alone was that he had his own means of escaping.
His previous tricks suddenly failed, which made him panic. He used his magic spell once again and tried to break the wall.
Just like the last time, the black light he turned into hit an invisible wall again and bounced back.
Alex and Jankovic were Cesar’s old rivals. Knowing that he had special ways of escaping, they didn’t have any hopes of killing him here.
They didn’t know why Cesar was trapped here, but that was great news for them. Killing a great wizard of the Dark Parliament would definitely be a great contribution to the Divine Court.
Qin Haodong smiled calmly. He had just set a trap around the place. Without his permission, no one could leave this place.
