Chapter 59: Trying To Believe
"Oh? Trying to act all intimidating with so little power? You really do seem like an anomaly sent by the Heaven's Will," the Risen Lord said dryly.
With a wave, he tried pushing forward with his power, forcing that body to the limit. But the black cracks spread even more. The body was already at its breaking point, and instead of attacking, the 'black hands' quickly started to retreat.
"Hohoho! Looks like the great Lord of darkness is pushing himself real hard... Careful you don't end up releasing something you shouldn't!"
In the end, Ceug's body was just an ordinary vessel, no different from any other native of that universe. All his strength came from his partner. Now, this entity could only use the power from the fragment of its abyssal heart.
The Risen Lord didn't reply — in fact, he was getting more and more excited by the power coming from that insect.
He could feel that absolute control — that could only be done using abyssal heart power. And this slug didn't even have one, he was so weak it was almost funny. So if he absorbed this new power and combined it with his own, wouldn't he be unbeatable against the others?
"Perfect. Fine then... even if I leave traces of myself for the others, it doesn't matter."
He spat, and his eyes lit up with a deep crimson glow. Suddenly, all the dark power around him began spinning and twisting violently.
"!"
Niara felt a stabbing pain and gasped. And it wasn't just her — all the Summoners behind them felt it too.
**CRASH!!**
