Chapter 111: The Love at the End of Life
‘Thank God,’ Nemo thought. Oliver had on metal armor on his arms so he couldn’t feel the cold sweat in his palms.
He tried his best to look like he was in control, but his neck seemed to be rusted by anxiety, making him unable to look back at Oliver’s face. No matter how harmless he tried to find an explanation for himself, the facts were always contrary to his expectations. Nemo didn’t know what expression was on his face right now, but it was far from “calm”.
This was the third time he had directly confronted a real superior demon.
The first time was facing Pandorater. At that moment, he only heard the other party’s call for help, and he didn’t have the slightest idea of his identity. The opponent gave up their attack and the whole event passed in a daze. The second time was facing Witherspoon. At that time, his state was delicate, and he had no impression of how to use his “powers”.
This was the third time.
This time, he was extremely sober and determined that everything at this moment was out of his own volition. Because of this, he felt more deeply about how unnatural the current situation was.
To crack a spell, a normal mage must analyze every feature of the enemy’s magic array, step by step, and then make the most appropriate response in time during the process of cracking it. Just like chess players; they carefully calculate their opponents’ intentions and all possible future moves, and finally mobilized their remaining pieces to win the game. To do this, knowledge, experience, and strength were indispensable.
But the world he saw was completely different.
What was in front of him wasn’t chess pieces and a chess board, but stone and trees, which could easily be overturned by just a raise of his hand. Those Abyssal magic had no resistance to his behavior. No matter how Nemo avoided this matter, he could see that it was abnormal. If it weren’t for the concern of the demon’s poor physical condition, he could even ignore those changing magic arrays and break through forcibly and move directly to the source of the magic.
