This necromancer is going to seduce the beautiful girls who are already dead.

The Abyss's magic has now been weakened by more than half. His current level of magic is perhaps only that of a very senior Sorcerer Supreme, which has wiped out one of his greatest advantages.

The magic level continues to drop, and the magic circle outside has not yet taken effect.

"What do we do next?" Flora became a little nervous again. "Should we continue to hide?"

“No, we must advance by retreating and find our opponent’s location,” Abis calmly assessed.

Yes, continuing to hide is not an option. The Abyss's magic is weakening, and his evasion ability will naturally decrease as well. Blindly hiding will only push him step by step toward his death.

Abyss began to forcefully release his magic, searching for another source of magic within this space.

At the same time, the magic circle that Abyss had set up in advance outside was also slowly adjusting automatically.

The insects responsible for setting up the magic array had been trained exceptionally well by Agnes. They would adjust the shape of the array according to specific needs to achieve the best effect. When the array was first formed, it could not affect the array designed by the chief array master inside, but this was a grand strategy of the Abyss, and it would not be so easily neutralized.

As the insects drew new magical circuits, the magic circle began to shine with the help of the sacred tree.

The rate at which magic power is fading has slowed down.

Abyss sensed this detail while trapped, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

“My dear enemy, Mr. Haines, why don’t you come out and meet me? I’d really like to know what kind of person this Chief Mage of the Necropolis, who can be on par with me in magical skill, is.” Abyss said loudly as he continuously released his magic power to scan the magical sources in the cavern.

The exploration of magic did not go smoothly; the Abyss did not come away empty-handed, but it gained far too much.

He actually discovered six sources of magic of equal strength in this place.

Did this chief mage divide his power into six parts?

The hidden Haynes did not respond to the Abyss's call; he intended to kill the Abyss directly.

Enemies who don't care about saving face are quite difficult to deal with.

Abyss felt a powerful squeezing force suddenly coming from around his body. Haines had used another spell on him. This spell seemed to be a type of spatial magic with a strong disruptive effect. Abyss was now unable to use spatial magic to escape.

Since we can't escape, let's hold on!

Without hesitation, Abyss scooped Flora into his arms, and then a dazzling aura of flames rose from his body.

The power of the battle aura was surprisingly evenly matched with the magic from the chief array master for a time. Abyss and Flora, who were originally about to be crushed, were not injured under the protection of the battle aura.

"Flora, use divine magic to strip away all the light here!" Abyss suddenly ordered.

Holding Flora tightly in the Abyss's arms, who was in a daze, she heard the Abyss's command and, almost reflexively, stretched out a hand from the Abyss's embrace and began to chant a prayer.

The power of the gods can bestow light upon mortals, and it can also take it away. Flora's divine magic is called Light Stealing Magic, which can block out all light in the surrounding area for a certain period of time.

The light emitted by the magic bomb that had illuminated the place suddenly went out as if it had been covered by a black cloth, and the place became pitch black again.

At that moment, Abyss's body transformed into a shadow and rushed out in an instant.

Chapter 332 The Abyss That Could Not Resist

In the pitch-black darkness, the Abyss, transformed into a shadow, moved swiftly and without hindrance.

To say it moves is no longer quite accurate. The speed of the Abyss is now immeasurable. In this space that no longer seems so vast, the Abyss can reach anywhere in an instant. In other words, the Abyss is now omnipresent.

Meanwhile, the Abyss also approached the six sources of magical energy that were emitting magical fluctuations.

A dagger formed from dark power appeared in the Abyss's hand. This was the exclusive weapon used by the messenger of the Lord of the Fallen. Without hesitation, he stabbed it fiercely at the six sources of magical energy that were emitting abnormal magical fluctuations.

The opponent probably didn't expect the Abyss to use divine power directly. This first strike hit six sources of magic at the same time, and the strange dark divine power belonging to the Lord of the Fall instantly penetrated into those six sources of magic.

sizzle...

Strange sounds echoed through the construction site, and at that moment, the Abyss returned to human form.

It wasn't that he didn't want to continue fighting in this form, but as his magic weakened, the connection between him and Leona also weakened. The Abyss couldn't maintain the Fallen Lord's power from Leona's soul for long.

Flora and Abyss were of one mind, and at that moment, Flora lifted the light-stealing spell, restoring a sliver of light to the place.

At each of the six locations where Abyss had just pierced, a figure appeared in the void.

Abyss was somewhat surprised to see this, but he felt nothing – he had temporarily lost his emotions because of using the power of the Fallen Lord.

Six people? That number is more than the "three" of the Three Venerables.

"You, you actually, have also mastered the power of a god." The six figures said in unison.

The voices of the six people were surprisingly synchronized. It didn't sound like six people talking together, but rather like one person's voice coming from six different places at the same time.

Abyss quickly returned to Flora's side, keeping a watchful eye on the six people standing at the edge of the construction site.

"Are you Haines?" Abyss asked calmly.

“I am Haines. I originally intended to kill you right here, but now, I'm afraid I have to show myself.” Each of the six figures had a large hole in its chest, but that was not enough to kill them. Apart from the black divine power lightning still surging inside the holes, he seemed to be unharmed. “Your divine power is affecting my mind.”

The dark power of the Lord of the Fall can implant powerfully corrosive thoughts into the soul of an enemy, driving them into madness. If the Abyss had just stabbed an ordinary person, that person would probably be insane by now.

These six people did not go mad; they simply had no choice but to confront the Abyss and could no longer hide.

Of the six people standing here, who is the real Haines?

Abyss was able to observe that the six of them were exactly the same in height and build, wore the same clothes, wore the same faceless masks, and spoke at the same time.

Is this Haines and his five clones, or are there only six clones of Haines here? The Abyss cannot verify this question yet.

“If I’ve made you uncomfortable, then I apologize,” Abis said without a trace of apology on his face. “But unfortunately, I’m going to defeat you today.”

“You can’t do it.” Haines’ tone remained unchanged. “I am invincible.”

“The enemies I defeated before also thought they were invincible,” Abyss said expressionlessly, denying it. “There is no such thing as absolute invincibility. I don’t know where you are stronger than them.”

Haines did not answer Abyss; instead, the six people simultaneously unleashed their magic.

The Abyss's magic is still being weakened by the trap's magic circle. Although the magic circle he set up outside is now in effect, it will take some time before the trap's influence on the Abyss is completely eliminated.

As expected of the founder of the Soul Stealing School, Haines used six different spells that directly attacked the soul simultaneously from his six clones. Abyss also acted decisively, releasing a spell to defend against soul impacts that the mages of Eternal Night City had developed while organizing the necromancers' library some time ago, forming a shield in front of himself and Flora.

Six spells struck the Abyss's shield simultaneously. This shield was no longer the one the Abyss could unleash at its normal power level; it only managed to block a portion of the magic, stopping it for a fleeting moment before shattering.

But that was enough time. Flora's reaction speed was no worse than Abyss's. When the opponent launched the attack, Flora had already chanted a divine spell, releasing a protective spell on the two of them.

At the same time, the enemy's magic also affected Abyss, who was standing in front of Flora.

Deprive of sight, deprive of hearing, deprive of magical perception, cause dizziness, confusion, and drowsiness.

Six different spells took effect simultaneously, and Abyss immediately felt a darkness before his eyes and the world spin. To Abyss's further surprise, although these six spells were of different types, their intensity was exactly the same, making it impossible to determine which one was the true form that had cast the spell.

Flora's protective spell was effective, but it could only prevent the Abyss from suffering serious damage. The opponent's magic seemed to contain a trace of divine power, which allowed them to break through Flora's protection.

Abyss nearly fell to the ground, but Flora hugged him tightly from behind, acting as his human support.

This was just Haines's opening move. He (or rather, they) raised their hands again, and six streams of magic flowed from his six bodies once more.

Abyss's entire skeleton was instantly manipulated, and now Abyss's magic power is pitifully small, making it utterly powerless to resist.

Every bone in Abyss's body exploded while being manipulated.

Crack!

With his bones exploding, the Abyss was instantly blasted into pieces.

"You are now utterly vulnerable, easily defeated." Haines's voice finally came through coldly.

"Abyss!" Flora had just been holding Abyss when he was suddenly blown to pieces. Ignoring the blood still on her clothes, she frantically called out Abyss's name.

“Next, it’s you.” Haines raised his hand to Flora again.

"That won't work for me, Haines."

However, the voice of the Abyss came out at this moment.

The pile of minced flesh on the ground rolled together at a very fast speed, then turned into a ball of black mud, and finally reformed into Abyss's body. Even the blood on Flora's body turned into black mud and detached from her clothes.

Now, it's Haines' turn to be surprised.

Chapter 333 Flora Persuades with Reason

How could Abyss casually enter a place where the enemy might have already laid a trap?

The preparations he made before today were far more effective than the magic array outside that was still slowly taking effect.

Inspired by the mutated creatures in the Storm Sea, Abyss had already put the creation of special bodies on its agenda, and Rebecca's research team had been studying this matter.

Later, after Abyss discovered that he could communicate with the Shadow Demons, his research project to create a spare body with special properties was greatly accelerated.

The Abyss's original spare body required various complex methods to improve its quality and strength, resulting in compromises in all aspects. Therefore, it was never quite suitable and was not as comfortable to use as the Abyss's original body.

However, with the involvement of the Shadow Demon, the research team in the City of Eternal Night took a different approach. They used the shape-altering black mud from the Shadow Demon, along with a spare body with enhanced magic capacity, to create the current body of the Abyss.

Yes, this is not the Abyss's original body; this body has actually been corroded by the black mud.

However, the corrupted body did not become useless. Instead, due to the compatibility between the Abyss soul and the Shadow Demon, it became just as usable as the original body.

One can use battle qi at the cost of damaging the body's internal structure—this structural damage can be repaired instantly.

It is possible to use corrupted magic. There are actually quite a few places in the Shadowfall, but ordinary mages' bodies cannot absorb this kind of magic that has been transformed beyond recognition by forces from outside the world.

Divine power—divine power acts on the soul, so the condition of the body is actually irrelevant.

Therefore, although the current Abyss is not using the original body, it can still exert its normal strength.

Haines' combo was indeed quite powerful. If it were Abyss's original body, it would probably be in pieces by now, and Abyss would no longer be able to control this body to protect Flora.

However, the Abyss's functional body is immune to ordinary magical attacks.

Destructive magic is nothing to the Abyss.

“Flora, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Even though Abyss had lost his emotions, he still turned to Flora and said.

Flora nodded. Her panic was only temporary; she had only felt uneasy instinctively when she saw the Abyss being blown apart.

She knew the Abyss wouldn't be defeated by such a simple attack, but seeing the man she loved being detonated, she still couldn't control her emotions.

"You used the power of the Shadow Demon?" Haines asked, enunciating each word clearly.

He seemed astonished by the Abyss's performance, and all six bodies began to pace at the same time.

“I won’t tell you, Shadow Demons do have black mud, but black mud isn’t exclusive to Shadow Demons. You can take your time to guess what power I’m using,” Abyss replied succinctly.
