Chapter 500: Characteristic Arch-enemy
Chapter 500: Characteristic – Arch-enemy
Panda Novel
A terrible scene was playing out in the strange altar.
A deep roar came from 29th's mouth. He didn't actually attack, but he looked like a fierce beast.
His hand was on Marvin's shoulder and a large amount of black gas was continuously seeping into and invading Marvin's body.
Marvin had an expression of great pain on his face!
A substance with a strong, sticky texture clung to him, making his Night Walker escape skills unusable!
On the side, Balkh had a sinister grin on his face.
Corrupt 29th really didn't disappoint him!
He made a few monsters in his previous experiments, yet only 29th was usable at all. But 29th was very unstable.
He could sometimes keep his Human intelligence, while sometimes becoming more like a crazy Demon.
Balkh guessed that his personality had split apart when trying to fight off the invading Demon Spawn.
But despite the problems, he was pleasantly surprised to find that 29th had two very frightening abilities.
The first ability was related to space. Every lifeform in his surroundings would be affected by spatial distortions. It was like he was a spatial crack or vortex, attracting the enemies and making them unable to escape.
The second ability was particularly frightening.
It was a Legend level Abyssal spell, [Abyssal Corruption]!
Abyssal Corruption was a rather rare taboo ability. Even the most gifted Greater Demons might not necessarily ever gain this kind of ability.
Thus, Balkh was very happy when Corrupt 29th gained that ability.
Abyssal Corruption was very overbearing and vicious, and was almost impossible to resist!
This was quite similar to the Evil Spirit Plane's corruption ritual.
If someone was hit by Abyssal Corruption, their body would suffer from the influence of the Abyss' Magic Power and gradually turn into a Demon.
And their mind would also be controlled, forcing the target to follow the orders of the Corruption user.
For example, if Marvin was successfully corrupted by ability, his mind would come under 29th's control.
Balkh was looking forward to seeing this happen.
Corrupt 29 was still unstable and it appeared that the young Legend was actually quite strong. If he could get that person to become his subordinate, then this valley's defenses would be even stronger!
Ever since he learnt of that Human Camp's existence, Balkh had been constantly on guard against those powerhouses' attacks.
He knew the Humans wouldn't be willing to leave him blocking such an important path.
But he happily accepted this kind of situation.
With their attacks, he could quickly sharpen himself.
Although he was a relatively sane Demon Wizard, he still had the warlike temper of Demons.
"Become my servant, young Human…"
Excitement flashed through Balkh's eyes. He didn't finish off Marvin because he was coveting his fighting strength! He hoped that the spell would take root and gain him a powerful pawn!
But at the same time, unknown to Balkh, Marvin was ongoing a special test.
On his interface, countless lines of logs flashed before his eyes, like a waterfall of words and numbers.
These were all checks. About six resistance checks would appear every second.
This showed how powerful the Ruler of the Night's resistances were.
But even so, according to the interface, his body was still slowly developing toward the Demon side, apparently not managing to pass all the checks.
This wasn't good news.
Marvin thought of a solution in a split second.
Although he couldn't use his escape skills, his body was still powerful!
He could easily escape if he could overcome the sticky substance and the restriction from the transformation.
As long as he could use Diamond Shape, he would be temporarily immune to the forced corruption and should be able to slip away.
But before he could do so, another log appeared before his eyes:
[Your body is under the attack of Abyssal Corruption… Warning, Warning, a bloodline is awakening within your body.]
Marvin was startled.
His body still had yet another bloodline that could be awakened?
At that instant, he felt a searing pain as if he was being burnt, his skin turning red hot!
Marvin felt dizzy as a powerful force erupted from some corner of his body and resisted the power of the Abyssal Corruption!
'This is…'
Marvin was extremely shocked by the changes in his body and didn't know what to think!
At that time, the Corrupt's body twitched. His Abyssal Corruption failed!
"How could it be!?" Balkh paled.
He hurriedly brandished his staff, ready to attack Marvin before he could recover.
But he didn't expect Marvin to be faster than him. He took a quick step to stay out of Balkh's line of sight as his daggers slashed down ruthlessly.
Desperation Style!
Corrupt 29th's body was that of an ordinary human, so how could it resist Marvin's attack?
He was instantly chopped into pieces!
By the time Balkh recovered and used the altar to attack Marvin again, the latter had already escaped!
He left the range of the altar and relied on his Stealth once more to hide!
He needed to take some time to check what happened!
...
All this seemed very long, but it actually only took an instant.
Marvin's amazing reaction speed was very advantageous. If he had responded any slower, the outcome might have been different.
He hid in the darkness, silently taking account of the changes in his body.
That warmth was still flowing within him.
He could feel the power. That power came from lava!
Molten Power!
One of the purest forms of power in the world, it was said to be comparable to the Fire Power of the Fire Elemental Sovereign!
'I actually have part of the bloodline of the Molten Archdevil?'
Marvin had a complicated expression.
A newly activated bloodline appeared on the interface:
[Molten Bloodline: As the successor of the Molten Archdevil, you have awakened Molten Power]
He managed to get rid of the Abyssal Corruption because of the characteristic that appeared when he awakened his bloodline.
[Characteristic – Arch-enemy: The battle between the Greater Devils and the Abyss has been continuing for a millennium. As a Greater Devil's successor, you have high resistances against your arch-enemies. Abyssal Magic Resistance: 50%]
Abyssal Magic Resistance!
And it reached 50%!
This was a very amazing number.
Although Marvin didn't get any extra resistance for Death spells, from now on, if he managed to resist a channeled Abyssal spell just once, he would be able to escape!
