Chapter 230: The Crimson Sovereign’s Weakness
After solidifying our plans to counter Lilith’s spatial magic, the conversation shifted naturally to an even more pressing matter: the Three Strongest Demon Overlords.
I stepped forward and began with a grim expression.
"Nosef Vermoryth, the Demon Overlord ranked third... He’s a sadistic psychopath who kills not out of necessity, but for sheer amusement." My voice tightened as memories of our battle surfaced."He’s obsessed with his blood magic. He can manipulate the blood of the corpses he kills, twisting it into deadly weapons. Worse, once you’re struck by his spell, your own blood becomes tainted by his magic—turning into a slow-acting poison against your body."
A silence fell over the room until Magi Silvanya spoke up, her voice calm but serious.
"What he says is true," she said, glancing around at the others. "When I fought Nosef, I shielded myself with silver-element magic. It didn’t matter. His blood magic was too fast, too flexible—it broke through my defenses and injured me."
She paused, frowning as she recalled the sensation.
"Once it enters your body, his blood magic begins to paralyze you from within. It scrambles your mana flow... It’s likely what caused Princess Aria’s dramatic drop in magical output during her battle with him. She sustained far too many injuries from his cursed magic."
At the mention of Aria, King Aslan’s face darkened. He clenched his fists on the table, his jaw tight with rage. His daughter’s defeat—and the coma that followed—still haunted him.
Sensing the rising tension, I quickly opened the [Akashic Record] and projected new data into the air for everyone to see.
"Everyone, please. I understand the threat, but I’ve also found his weakness. According to the Akashic Record, Nosef’s blood magic has a very specific vulnerability..."
All eyes turned to me.
