Chapter 1009: Ripped Apart!

“Soul of Light? How wondrous it is. If I can mobilize my Illusory World, what would this mere Soul of Light count for?”

Merlin felt somewhat powerless. Clearly, he knew that Soul of Light was illusory but he could not locate its flaws, so he had no way to dispel it. It was like Merlin’s Illusory World. Once it enveloped his opponents, even if they knew very well that this was illusory, they were powerless. This was the scary part of illusions.

Of course, compared to the Illusory World, Doomsday’s Soul of Light was lacking by far. Nonetheless, with Merlin’s current state where he could not mobilize his Mind Power let alone the Illusory World, wanting to dispel the Soul of Light was challenging.

Thus, Merlin might as well stand there quietly, shutting his eyes calmly. He was patiently searching for any flaws in the Soul of Light or the place where Doomsday’s real body was.

He knew that Doomsday must be nearby, sure to be observing Merlin’s movements closely. If only Merlin could figure out Doomsday’s actual position, then even if he could not locate the flaws of the Soul of Light, he could still disperse it in one strike.

In other words, Doomsday’s real body was the greatest flaw of the Soul of Light!

“Humph, do you think I can’t deal with you if you don’t move?”

Outside, Doomsday saw that Merlin was not moving a muscle. Thus, he further increased the strength of the Soul of Light and shot out countless piercing arrows.

“Whiz whiz whiz.”

These were not an illusion but Doomsday’s attack. These crimson-colored sharp arrows were frightening. Even ordinary full-shifting contenders would have to retreat strategically.

Nonetheless, Merlin did not even twitch, allowing the crimson arrows to fly toward him. Instantly, waves of arrow fell upon him like rain.

However, these crimson arrows could not even break past Merlin’s most external defenses. Merlin shook his head and said softly, “Too weak, far too weak.”

“What?”

Doomsday’s face was gripped by shock. He had never thought that his attack could not even get past Merlin’s outer defenses. At this point, only Farron was smirking to himself. In the past, he had used up all his methods but even he could not injure Merlin, let alone Doomsday.

Faced with a tyrannical existence like Merlin whose body was tough to an unimaginable extent, it was difficult to cause him harm even if he was trapped.

While Doomsday was unable to harm Merlin, likewise, Merlin was trapped in the Soul of Light with no way of harming Doomsday.

Following that, Doomsday began to wildly unleash various techniques but unsurprisingly, they did not affect Merlin at all. He did not even move and allowed Doomsday to attack. Doomsday still could not injure him.

The only one who could injure Merlin was the Nine-lives Werewolf but he was already devoured by Merlin.

“Let’s pay no mind to this monster for now. Go and find out from the king the location of the Sacred Lion Beast’s head.”

Doomsday’s face was gloomy. Not being able to kill Merlin, he felt a sense of embarrassment but under the circumstances, he could only trap Merlin for now.

The Phantom King laughed coldly then wielded his technique. He could manifest countless phantom duplicates that immediately attached themselves to the king. The king’s face turned stiff and he was immediately controlled. His eyes became blank and lifeless as well.

“Tell us, where’s the Sacred Lion Beast’s head?”

The Phantom King asked sinisterly. Nonetheless, the current king had been controlled and could only reply frankly, “The Sacred Lion Beast’s head is in the underground secret chamber in the depths of the palace.”

“Are there any dangers within the secret chamber?”

The Phantom King was cautious too. He knew that most secret chambers like this would likely have some protective forces.

“There are many full-shifting contenders in the secret chamber but if one possessed the concentrated bloodline of the royal family’s descendants, one could neutralize those guards.”

The king spoke without reserve, revealing every detail.

“Haha, then we’ll make the first move!”

When the Candora Trio-Lords heard this, they laughed loudly and flew toward the outside of the palace. Nonetheless, they did not seize the king. As for the bloodline of the royal family’s descendant, they did not wish to lag behind while they were competing for the Sacred Lion Beast’s head. They immediately looked toward the Princess Royal.

“We’ll bring you with us!”

The Candora Trio-Lords flew toward the Princess Royal at once. These three ultimate contenders did not need to spend much effort to capture the Princess Royal, leaving behind the Shadow King, the Phantom King, and the rest who could only watch helplessly.

“Doomsday, you stay here and restrict this monster. We’ll take our leave first, haha!”

The Shadow King and the rest chortled to themselves, then left the foyer, flying toward the secret chamber where the Sacred Lion Beast was. In the entire hall, only Doomsday and Farron were left, along with Merlin who was trapped by Doomsday.

In the foyer, Farron’s glare hooked onto Doomsday as he asked coldly, “Doomsday, don’t you sense that you’re now in great danger?”

“Huh?”

Doomsday looked around at the empty foyer, then looked toward Merlin whom he had trapped in the Soul of Light. At this point, he realized that he had fallen into danger. No one cared whether he lived or died. They had all frantically chased after that Sacred Lion Beast’s head.

If there was only Merlin who was trapped, Doomsday did not need to worry. After all, Merlin could not struggle out of the bindings of his Soul of Light.

However, Farron’s presence now was making Doomsday very nervous because Farron’s Supreme Talent could dispel his Soul of Light. In a one-on-one match, Doomsday was unafraid of Farron as both of their Supreme Talents could be nullified.

Nonetheless, there was Merlin now. Once Farron had dispersed Doomsday’s Soul of Light, based on the valiant strength Merlin had displayed, things did not look too good for Doomsday.

“Farron, this monster’s existence is a threat to you, right? I still understand some of the matters of your royal family. This monster is on the Princess Royal’s side while you’re the king’s man. Today, if you save him, things won’t end too well for you in the future.”

Doomsday narrowed his eyes slightly and growled.

Even so, Farron guffawed, then stared at Doomsday, saying with a long sigh, “Doomsday, you still don’t understand me. His Majesty’s greatest wish is to make the Holy Dragon Empire flourish once more. Perhaps His Majesty is no longer the man for this job but the Princess Royal could do it!”

With that, terrifying energy exploded, shrouding Doomsday’s Soul of Light. This was Farron’s Mirror Supreme Talent, a power that affected the mind as well.

“Hiss.”

Merlin quickly opened his eyes. He sensed that a crack had appeared in Doomsday’s Soul of Light.

“Go!”

Merlin did not overthink this. Since he had found a weak spot, he had to seize this chance. Therefore, his colossal body began to move, bringing with it a fearsome strength that smashed directly toward that crack.

“Boom.”

The Soul of Light shattered into smithereens in that instant. The foyer resumed its appearance before Merlin’s eyes, and there were only Doomsday and Farron beside him.

Countless thoughts flashed across Merlin’s mind. Of course, he knew that Farron must have acted to help him escape from Doomsday’s Soul of Light, just like the previous time Farron had rescued Merlin.

However, this time, Merlin could kill Doomsday!

“Doomsday, the last time, you couldn’t kill me. This time, it’s your turn!”

Merlin’s stare turned icy as he glared at Doomsday. The terrifying force of his body was like an immense mountain that pushed down upon Doomsday mercilessly.

At this moment, Doomsday understood why the Nine-lives Werewolf had died so soon. He could not resist at all. Without the advantage of the Soul of Light, Doomsday was merely somewhat stronger than most full-shifters. He was much inferior to the Nine-lives Werewolf.

“Die!”

Merlin’s gigantic bulk reached Doomsday in one stride. His hands grabbed Doomsday’s shapeshifted body and tore it forcefully.

“Rip.”

How mighty was Merlin’s strength? With one rip, he immediately separated Doomsday’s body into two halves. Blood gushed out and the entire foyer was pervaded by the intense stench of blood.
