Chapter 586: The Demon King of Incarceration (7)
‘What the?’ Eugene thought in surprise.
His vision was engulfed in darkness. Startled, Eugene leaped backward.
The darkness was so thick that he couldn’t even make out his own body, let alone the figures of Molon, Sienna, and the two Saints. The first thing that immediately came to mind was Balzac’s Signature spell, Blind. Balzac may have died in a vain attempt to defeat Sienna, but his soul hadn’t been erased by her and had instead been retrieved by the Demon King of Incarceration. Because of that, if he really wanted to, the Demon King of Incarceration should have enough knowledge to reproduce Balzac’s Signature adequately.
But was that really the case? Eugene first settled his nerves. This darkness… was something different from Blind. It wasn’t some type of spell that blocked the five senses, but was something much simpler than that, something that couldn’t really be described as a spell or an ability.
It was simply dark power. But the nature of this dark power, which the Demon King of Incarceration had previously kept under control and allowed to permeate his entire palace, had undergone a change. The dark power had become extremely thick, dense, and concentrated, so much so that it had even corrupted the space around them — transforming it into a separate world. This absurdly dense and concentrated dark power was even able to extinguish and erase the light of divinity that Eugene had been flaring.
‘My sanctuary…,’ Eugene thought in concern.
It had yet to collapse. The sanctuary had been maintained because Eugene’s presence was still present. However, the dark power that was now covering everything outside of his sanctuary was capable of completely suppressing any of the benefits that the sanctuary had once granted Eugene.
Eugene closed his eyes and sharpened his senses. His aim was to see if he could confirm the status of his comrades.
However, his search failed. While it was understandable that he would fail to sense Sienna, Eugene became more than a little flustered by the fact he wasn’t able to sense Molon, Anise, or Kristina either. The latter two were both Eugene’s Incarnations and his Saints. Yet despite that, he still couldn’t feel them. It was as if the very laws of the world had been subverted.
