Chapter 309 Temporarily Sealing the Terrifying Monster
Under the guidance of Elder Lawrence, the group descended to the deepest part of the underground tomb.
Here, they were confronted with an unprecedentedly massive magical formation, the power contained within it astonishing everyone present.
Irving was left speechless upon witnessing this scene. He never expected that Elder Lawrence possessed such a trump card. If it weren't for the terrifying monsters in the Abyss of Death being excessively powerful, the magical formations hidden by Elder Lawrence would undoubtedly have been used against Irving.
The expression on Shadow Celestial's face, standing beside Irving, also changed slightly. As a powerful being who had lived for a long time, Shadow Celestial considered himself very familiar with all magical formations. However, after seeing this one, he had to admit that Elder Lawrence was indeed stronger than him in this domain.
Both Irving and Shadow Celestial were astounded, but Aron and Anna were even more taken aback. Aron and Anna found themselves at a loss for words. They suddenly realized that the precious magical formations their proud Angel Guild possessed were trivial in comparison to Elder Lawrence's magical formations.
Elder Lawrence, of course, noticed the change in everyone's expressions. With a smile on his face, he said, "This is the most powerful magical formation I possess. If you still have the capacity to think, you should understand that this magical formation was not originally intended to combat the terrifying monsters deep within the Abyss of Death. It was originally designed to deal with Irving.
However, now that Irving has teamed up with me, we must do our utmost to defeat the terrifying monsters in the Abyss of Death together."
Elder Lawrence chose not to hide his true thoughts. He understood Irving very well. He knew Irving was a very clever person. If he attempted to conceal his real intentions, Irving would surely pick up on it. That would jeopardize their cooperation moving forward.
Irving slowly nodded. "This magical formation indeed possesses immense power. However, I believe it is merely a sealing formation. Are you planning to use this magical formation to seal away the terrifying monster?"
Elder Lawrence nodded in agreement. "You are correct; I only hope to seal the terrifying monster. I believe we cannot completely eradicate it."
Elder Lawrence's words left Aron and Anna in a state of shock.
The expressions on Shadow Celestial and Irving's faces remained calm. After a moment of hesitation, Shadow Celestial turned to Elder Lawrence and asked, "What specific action plan do you think we should adopt? To successfully activate the sealing magical formation, we will need to allow time for its activation.
During this process, the terrifying monster will surely realize our true intentions and will do everything in its power to attack the magical formation. Shouldn't someone be responsible for stopping the monster's assault? Who do you think should take on that responsibility?"

Once Shadow Celestial finished speaking, everyone fell silent. They all understood that blocking the monster's attack was an extremely challenging task. Elder Lawrence directly turned his gaze to Irving. "I believe the strongest among us is Irving. If Irving cannot shoulder this responsibility, then no one else will be able to stop the terrifying monster."
There was no hesitation in Elder Lawrence's tone as he spoke. His original plan was indeed to assign Irving the most dangerous task. Before Irving could respond, Anna interjected, "I absolutely do not agree with your plan. You are deliberately pushing Irving into a very dangerous situation! You are being utterly insidious!"
Anna's words received no response from anyone. Elder Lawrence didn't even glance in her direction; he was solely focused on Irving. After pondering for a moment, Irving nodded. "No problem, I can hold off the monster's attack. But I need to know how long I need to withstand it."
Elder Lawrence smiled as he replied, "You need to hold it off for at least fifteen minutes. Activating the sealing magical formation requires that amount of time. Of course, if Shadow Celestial and your two friends can assist me, the activation time will be shorter."
Elder Lawrence felt that his plan had already succeeded. Without any hesitation, Irving said, "Alright, I will be responsible for holding off the terrifying monster for fifteen minutes. Everyone else, help Elder Lawrence activate the sealing magical formation!"
As soon as Irving finished speaking, everyone heard a loud explosion coming from above them. The terrifying monster had already descended right above the area where they were gathered.
Elder Lawrence's expression quickly turned serious. He shouted loudly to those around him, "Stop wasting time! Hurry up and help me activate the sealing magical formation!"
Elder Lawrence took out his staff. Instantly, a massive surge of dark energy erupted from the staff, flowing into the sealing magical formation. The formation swiftly entered the activation process. A series of fluctuations appeared in the space surrounding the sealing magical formation.
Upon sensing the spatial disturbances, Shadow Celestial immediately offered his assistance to Elder Lawrence, and together they began to activate the formation. After a brief moment of hesitation, Aron and Anna also decided to lend their support to Elder Lawrence.
The activation of the sealing magical formation was proceeding faster than anticipated, which meant that the danger Irving faced would not be as great. However, regardless of the circumstances, Irving would still have to confront the terrifying monster's attacks alone for at least eight minutes.
At the moment the sealing magical formation began its activation process, the space within the underground tomb began to collapse rapidly. The terrifying monster suddenly appeared before them, its numerous twisted tentacles and appendages swiftly crawling toward the group.
Irving fixed his gaze on the main body of the terrifying monster. He drew forth his Staff of Calamity. Under the combined influence of the Taikoo Flame Pearl's power and the dark energy, a brilliant, extraordinary light erupted from the top of the staff.
Then, a powerful spell was launched toward the terrifying monster. Following that, Irving dashed toward the monster with astonishing speed. He understood that he needed to attack the monster's main body directly, as this was the only way to draw its attention fully onto himself. If the monster's focus was not solely on him, the actions of Elder Lawrence and the others could very likely fail.
Irving's series of actions yielded significant results. The terrifying monster was thoroughly enraged by Irving's attack. It retracted all of its tentacles, and then a massive, all-consuming maw emerged from the void.
Inside the gaping maw was a black vortex, at the center of which seemed to exist an area where no light could penetrate. Seeing this scene, Irving reacted immediately. He activated an enhanced version of his Gravity Swamp skill, and with its aid, Irving successfully evaded the monster's first wave of attacks.
However, Irving's crisis was far from over. The terrifying monster certainly had more than just these attack methods at its disposal. The monster opened its largest mouth wide and began to spew forth a massive amount of black mist. This black mist coalesced into an exceptionally powerful dark energy spell.
As soon as the spell was born, it shot toward Irving at high speed. At this point, Irving had no way to evade the monster's attack. In fact, he didn't intend to dodge the attack at all. Instead, Irving planned to use the dark energy control authority granted to him by the mysterious figure to endure this assault.
Irving gathered all the dark energy into his body. Then, he combined this dark power with the powers of chaos using the Taikoo Flame Pearl. At that moment, Irving's body became swollen and grotesque. The overwhelming dark energy and chaotic powers threatened to completely tear his body apart.
Dark energy seeped out from Irving's ears, mouth, and nose. His eyes had turned entirely black, with two streams of blood trickling down from the corners. The power he was wielding was incredibly strong, but even with all that power, Irving could barely withstand the monster's attack.
The dark energy and chaotic powers within Irving were completely depleted, while the terrifying monster was still capable of launching further attacks. The look in Irving's eyes as he gazed at the monster had turned utterly desperate. He hadn't expected that a single attack from the monster would drain all of his strength.
"Am I really going to fail this time? Even after collaborating with my previous enemies, am I still unable to defeat this terrifying monster?" Irving's emotions were a complex mix of thoughts and feelings.
All of his past experiences flashed through his mind like a rapid slideshow. He could no longer take any defensive actions, as his stamina had been completely exhausted. He couldn't even lift his staff anymore.
The terrifying monster began to gather an immense amount of power once again. A powerful spell was readied to be unleashed. Irving simply watched as this formidable spell approached him, waiting for the inevitable death that awaited.
At that moment, Irving suddenly felt intense fluctuations in the space behind him. In an instant, numerous white portals appeared around the terrifying monster. These white portals quickly combined to form an almost impenetrable seal.
The terrifying monster was thus sealed away by a multitude of white portals, and all of its dark powers were trapped within them. Seeing this scene, Irving let out a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of Elder Lawrence and the others. He wanted to confirm their status.
