Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen! - Chapter 353: Demigod-stage Battle Style, Samsara!
Chapter 353: Chapter 353: Demigod-stage Battle Style, Samsara!
The piercing shrieks stopped. The five soul fragments froze, their attacks halted mid-air.
They stared at their own semi-transparent hands, their eyes filled with stunned confusion.
The soul fragment wearing the captain’s insignia recognized Logan and immediately dropped to one knee, bowing his head deep to the ground. “Thank you, Lord, for purifying us.”
“When the soul-devouring ghost swallowed us, we saw things we were never meant to see.”
Logan stepped forward. “What did you see?”
He pressed his five fingers against the captain’s forehead, sending Soul Rule energy inward to verify the memories.
The memories were genuine; the timeline matched perfectly with what Moragas had revealed three months ago.
Logan withdrew his hand and nodded to Violet, confirming the intelligence was true.
The captain looked up, his eyes filled with a deep, bone-chilling hatred and fear. “Deep in the canyon, we ran into Iron-Bone Grand Elder.”
“He met in secret with the envoy from No. 47 Restricted Zone.”
“He promised to help the Devourers seize Kane’s Destruction Rule.”
Hearing this, Violet staggered slightly, her knuckles turning white as she gripped her fingers.
The coldness in her golden vertical pupils was almost solid.
She could not believe that the Grand Elder of the Sky-Splitting Tribe would do something so treacherous.
Iron-Bone hadn’t just betrayed the Ancient Beast Clan or the Sky-Splitting Tribe; he had betrayed Kane himself—the one who had rescued their ancestors from the Devourers three thousand years ago.
Driven by a desire for power, Iron-Bone was willing to hand over the entire Sky-Splitting Tribe, and even the whole of Restricted Zone 53, to the Devourers.
Through the soul contract, Logan clearly felt Violet’s anger and deep disappointment.
He immediately bent down, placing his right hand gently on Violet’s head.
Stable mind waves flowed through the soul contract, pouring endlessly into Violet’s mind.
The Five-Spiral Rule energy slowly soothed her chaotic Mental Power.
Logan looked into Violet’s eyes, his voice low and firm. “Violet, look at me.”
“I promise, I will help you purge this traitor.”
“Iron-Bone Grand Elder will die.”
Violet looked up. The sorrow in her eyes had completely vanished, replaced by absolute resolve. She bowed deeply to Logan, her voice unwavering. “Master, please, help me purge the traitor.”
“From this day forward, I pledge my life to your service, with no other heart.”
Logan gave a slight nod and turned his gaze back toward the canyon depths.
He could clearly sense that the 48-star quasi-Demigod-stage presence was rushing closer.
The soul-devouring ghost’s true body had already sensed the disturbance here and was heading straight for them.
The wind in Wailing Canyon grew fiercer, the wailing sounds more piercing.
Dark gray mist churned endlessly deep in the canyon, and the scent of the Devouring Rule grew stronger and stronger.
Logan stood at the front of the formation, 81 stars of pressure completely hidden within.
Inside him, the Five-Spiral DNA spun at high speed, ready for the battle ahead.
Violet stood beside Logan, her 48-star Saint stage energy fully unleashed.
The Ancient Beast Clan royal secrets were in full motion, her golden vertical pupils locked tightly on the fog deep in the canyon.
Her aura was tense, ready to trigger blood suppression at any moment to block the ghost’s escape.
Nel’s 12 Mirror copies had all scattered into the fog on both sides of the canyon.
The real Nel gripped the short blade at her waist, her eyes scanning the surroundings with sharp alertness.
Bobbi had already circled to the other side of the canyon, his Phase Folding spear pointed diagonally at the ground.
Just then, the fog deep in the canyon suddenly exploded outward.
A mass of black fog, constantly shifting shapes, drifted slowly from the deepest part of the valley. Within the fog, countless twisted human faces flickered into view, each etched with extreme pain and hatred.
Silent shrieks spread through the fog, striking straight at the core of one’s soul.
“This is the soul-devouring ghost, the vanguard sent from No. 47 Restricted Zone,” Violet warned.
The terrifying aura of a 48-star quasi-Demigod stage burst out from the black fog without holding back.
Within a one-kilometer radius, the ground was suddenly riddled with countless new, fine life voids. The soul energy in the air was instantly devoured, leaving nothing behind.
Logan slowly lifted his head, his gaze calm as he looked at the black fog.
His 81-star pressure was no longer hidden; it spread outward in a ring, challenging the ghost’s aura. Five-colored rule lights swirled gently around him, forming a stable defensive domain.
“A 48-star quasi-Demigod. Weaker than Kane, but this Devouring Rule is indeed tricky.”
The moment Logan finished speaking, Nel moved. “I’m going first!”
She flicked her fingers, and all 12 Mirror copies burst out from the fog simultaneously.
Each copy held a weapon and launched a feint attack against the black fog.
Their auras matched the real Nel perfectly, making them indistinguishable from the truth.
The soul-devouring ghost didn’t hesitate. The black fog expanded instantly, forming a 50-meter-diameter Devouring vortex in the center.
A terrifying suction force erupted from the vortex, sweeping down toward Nel’s copies.
The three Mirror copies at the very front were instantly sucked into the vortex.
Without a chance to scream, they were torn apart by the Devouring Rule.
Their energy and souls were devoured by the ghost in an instant, fueling its own power.
The black fog expanded by one-tenth instantly, and its aura grew even more terrifying.
Nel’s real body let out a grunted, a trickle of blood escaping the corner of her mouth. “Master, its Devouring Rule can eat my Mirror copies directly!”
“The energy from my copies is used to restore itself!”
Seeing this, Bobbi immediately triggered the trap he had set.
The space on both sides of the canyon folded instantly, forming dozens of spatial barriers.
The barriers rushed inward, trying to compress the soul-devouring ghost into a narrow space. “Watch me seal off its escape!”
But just as the spatial barriers were about to close, dozens of black tentacles shot out from the black fog.
The moment the tentacles touched the spatial barriers, the Devouring Rule activated again. The space energy that formed the barriers was devoured instantly.
The carefully laid Phase Folding trap collapsed completely in the blink of an eye.
Bobbi suffered a powerful energy backlash and spat a mouthful of blood.
He stumbled back two steps, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
He never expected that his most gifted Space Ability would be dismantled so easily. “It can even devour space energy. Conventional traps are useless against it.”
Seeing this, Violet stepped forward immediately.
She quickly formed hand seals and cast the Ancient Beast Clan’s royal secret technique: Totem Devouring.
Golden totem patterns flared around her, trying to suppress the ghost’s dark aura.
But the golden light barrier she created hadn’t even reached the black fog before it was sucked into the Devouring vortex.
The soul-devouring ghost let out a piercing shriek, and the fog churned even more violently.
The scream carried a greedy killing intent, heading straight for Violet.
The black fog suddenly contracted, transforming into a black torrent that crashed violently toward Violet. “Ancient Beast Clan! Food! Delicious!”
Just as the black fog was about to swallow Violet, Logan flashed forward, instantly standing in front of her.
His Five-Spiral DNA spun at maximum speed. Five-colored rule lights condensed before him, forming a barrier.
The black torrent crashed hard against the barrier, creating a deafening roar.
The barrier shook violently but did not break.
Logan’s gaze remained calm. His brain was racing.
He clearly observed the ghost’s attack patterns, quickly deducing the nature of the Devouring Rule.
Single-energy attacks—whether space, soul, or elemental—were all devoured by it.
To break this deadlock, he had to transcend the limits of a single rule and form a closed loop using all five rules.
Logan instantly made his decision.
He turned to Violet and shouted, “Retreat 300 meters! I will handle this battle alone.”
“Do not come closer, or you’ll be caught in the Devouring Rule’s range.”
Without hesitation, Violet and the others immediately turned and retreated, stopping exactly 300 meters away at the canyon entrance.
They all knew that in a battle of this level, they couldn’t interfere. Staying behind would only hold Logan back.
The soul-devouring ghost saw Logan standing alone, and the black fog surged again.
It could clearly sense the massive reservoir of five rules within Logan.
To it, Logan was the most delicious food in the world.
If it devoured Logan, it would immediately break through to the Demigod stage and become a true Rule Controller.
The black fog expanded instantly, covering a 100-meter radius.
A giant Devouring vortex, 100 meters in diameter, formed above Logan.
A terrifying suction swept across the entire area, even swallowing light so it couldn’t escape.
The surrounding rock walls were ripped apart by the suction, crumbling into dust and sucked into the vortex.
Logan stood beneath the vortex, his feet unmoving.
There was no fear in his eyes, only extreme calm.
The Five-Spiral DNA operated at its absolute limit.
Silver Time, Gold Space, Green Creation, Black Destruction, and Gray Soul—the five rule powers wove together perfectly within him.
Silver Time Rule exploded. For 3 seconds, time in a 10-mile radius froze completely.
The Devouring Rule requires energy flow to activate. With time frozen, all energy flow stopped, and the Devouring Rule completely failed.
The churning black fog and the formed Devouring vortex froze in mid-air.
Even the soul-devouring ghost’s consciousness was briefly stalled by the Time Freeze power.
Those 3 seconds were enough for Logan.
Golden Space Rule condensed in his palm. Countless gold space blades fell like a rainstorm.
The frozen black fog was instantly sliced into dozens of independent spatial fragments.
Each fragment was completely isolated by spatial barriers, with no way to reconnect or interact.
