Chapter 356: 356

“What are you going to do, Marquis Luke?”

Like Hwang Bo-sung, Arch Duke Gregory, who read the unusual mood talked in a very low voice .

“I will use my hidden power . ”

“Dark Magic? Is that possible in here?”

At Luke’s words, Gregory, as well as those who were still alive, looked forward .

They never thought that they would be anticipating for dark magic to be used to save their lives .

“It will be tough . This damn block will absorb all of the magi from the dark magic . ”

Magi too was a force which got split from Aether .

Therefore, there was no way dark magic will escape from the Aether absorbing barrier .

‘I can’t completely stop it from absorbing . However…’

A pot with holes had no choice but to leak .

However, there needs to be a lot of water in the pot nor will the water won’t leak out at once .

Rather, it would overflow from the top .

The problem was, Luke wasn’t sure how big the hole of the pot was .

‘There is surely a limit to how much magic this cage can absorb at one time . So, only when we exert our abilities, our power will get sucked up and vitality will be down . ’

Luke, who judged the situation, spoke to Arch Duke Gregory .

“I will make sure to break off this bar somehow . So… Arch Duke, please live and protect Reina . ”

“It sounds like a last will . ”

“Maybe it is . ”

Gregory frowned at the bitter response from Luke .

“You need to live . I don’t wish to see the Pope sad . ”

“Huh . Understood . ”

Luke smiled listening to Gregory’s statement which meant that he had acknowledged his relationship with Reina .

But the smile didn’t last that long .

With the magic of Erwin’s Fire Explosion running around, Nanas who watched the flames die was ready to give orders to her warriors .

‘I need to hurry . ’

Luke stood in the front of the cage and grabbed a grill with both his hands .

Although he could feel his vitality escaping at a frightening pace, he opened up the powers of demons without hesitation .

“Build Up!”

DuDuDu!

DU DU DU DU!

When Luke triggered the third phase of Build Up, a purple glow began to rise all over his body .

At the same time, the muscles began to swell with clothes tearing off and revealing black skin .

There were small horns coming from his head, with scales on arms and hands .

After seeing Luke change his appearance, Nanas and the other fairies were startled .

It was the same with Gregory and the Saint Guards .

“This, this is the dark magic?”

“Oh Oh, oh my god!”

They were all paladins who had the duty to discover and subdue the warlocks in the continent .

At that time, they had witnessed how a man who sold his soul over to the demons .

However, never once had they seen a person change their appearance .

‘No, there was one written in the records . ’

Gregory’s record was a diary left by a great paladin who fought against Devil King Saymon, 500 years back .

He raided the Devil King, who was patrolling an occupied estate with his colleagues, however, Saymon suddenly turned into a monster and destroyed everyone and the paladin got his hand cut off .

The paladin had already vowed to lose his life on the battlefield and hated the Devil King for leaving him alive and asked .

“How many people did you sacrifice to get that power!”

At that question, Saymon gave out the evilest laugh and answered .

“Are you looking at me like I am one of those trashy warlocks? I summoned the demons and ate them up!”

The devil left the paladin alone .

When Gregory saw the record for the first time, he considered Saymon to have mocked the paladin who fought bravely and courageously .

But looking at Luke, he knew that the answer was real .

“Kuekk! Dammit…!”

Luke was constantly raising Magi to break the iron bars .

However, the Magi raised was absorbed into the barrier .

He could see the purple light which was rising get absorbed by the iron bars and to the ground .

Nevertheless, Luke didn’t let go .

Even though the arrows of the warriors were getting stuck to his body, even in such a situation his monstrous body didn’t move .

“That is wrong, Master . Stop it now!”

“You will die if you continue!”

“There has to be another way . So…”

Hwang Bo-sung, and Henry, as well as the knights of Saint Guard, were calling him back .

The members of the Saint Guard knew things very well by then .

Just as Arch Duke Gregory had told them, Luke wasn’t stained with evil .

If Luke was a selfish warlock, he wouldn’t try to save others by cutting down his magic and vitality .

However, Luke wasn’t listening to their cries .

His head was full of thoughts about crushing down the barrier .

Unfortunately, Luke’s efforts were useless .

The Magi was simply getting absorbed without any change in the state of the cage .

‘This, this is wrong! I am reaching the limit of my strength…’

Luke was desperate .

Despite giving out the maximum power of the demons and pouring out Magi, it didn’t touch the limit of the barrier .

He would fail if things went like that .

And everything which would come in the future would be according to Nanas’s intentions .
