1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King-Chapter 123 - 123 Twilight
123 Twilight
The Void Sovereign’s existence could stir up changes in the Moon Realm domain.
At this moment, different phenomena appeared in four directions of Black Crow Gaze.
Spider silk that formed in the air, the surface of the sea where countless rotten fish corpses floated, filthy floating things that were as sticky as oil, and pale arms that floated and struggled in the water…
As the phenomenon continued to spread, the four huge shadows slowly approached and surrounded William in the middle of the sea.
In addition, above his head was a dark cloud formed by tens of millions of black crows. Their snow-white claws and beaks connected to form a storm that touched the sea and the sky, and incandescent lightning brewed.
!!
The cries of the black crows gathered into Coles’s voice and it said, “Presiding Judge, no matter what, it’s too late. You have no chance of winning against four Void Sovereigns in the Moon Realm.”
William nodded.
Not to mention fighting four at the same time, he didn’t even have a chance of winning against one.
Seeing William nod, Coles continued, “Therefore, let’s skip those boring steps. I need the Seed of Hope in your hand now…”
William interrupted it and said, “I’ve said from the beginning that the only thing I’m interested in on this trip is killing you.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed the magical medium at the dark cloud formed by the black crows.
“And killing you doesn’t need me to fight the four of Them.”
The phenomenon symbolized by the four Void Sovereigns was about to reach William, but he still had no intention of looking around. He ignored the threat of the four Void Sovereigns at close range and said to Coles Jackdaw, who used to be the last Judge, “And your twilight is here.”
With that said, although he didn’t use any spells, an ancient orange light erupted from the sky pointed at by the crystal magical medium in William’s hand.
This was the first time light appeared in the sky above Black Crow Gaze, which was eternally shrouded in darkness.
It was a lonely scene. The afterglow of fiery red and dark gold instantly dyed half the sky. Under this sky, the remains of countless civilizations were kneaded into a ball and floated in the sky, silently telling their former stories.
Although the light of twilight looked decadent and dilapidated, it was still the last light people could hold on to before entering complete darkness.
If one could pull out to a wider perspective to observe the entire scene that was happening in Black Crow Gaze, one could see twilight instantly erupt from the center of Black Crow Gaze. It formed a hemispherical barrier that covered half of Black Crow Gaze, blocking the corruption, filth, paleness, and spider silk that spread around.
Four furious voices sounded at the same time, stirring up the seawater. They brandished Their peerless strength and struck the barrier formed from twilight.
William ignored the voices outside and looked at Coles quietly before asking, “Do you remember where you are?”
The moment the twilight appeared, the millions of crows that kept hissing lost their voices. This not-bright twilight scene was like the scorching sun at noon in the eyes of the black crows. They raised their wings and covered their eyes.
In the next moment, their wings that blocked the light ignited with sparks before turning into a raging inferno. Countless burning black crows fell from the sky like dead flies.
Helpless, the crows gathered again and took human form.
Coles felt a heavy pressure on its shoulders, causing its legs to buckle slightly.
“Finality scene… Twilight Fortress…”
Its tone made it difficult to tell if it was answering William’s question or talking to itself.
Behind William was a dilapidated fortress that had been in disrepair for years. The artistic reliefs that originally symbolized honor and merit had been weathered to nothingness over time, but the fortress remained standing.
The evening light slanted across the top of the fortress and shone on William, preventing Coles from seeing his expression.
“So you teleported the Twilight Fortress… here?” Coles said in disbelief.
Black Crow Gaze was sealed off by the four Void Sovereigns, and they were in a state where entry was possible but exit impossible. The Presiding Judge summoning the entire Twilight Fortress was equivalent to throwing the entire Doomsday Watchers into this trap with him.
Without the Twilight Fortress, the Doomsday Watchers could be said to have completely given up on the only mobile base in the Moon Realm.
“Why?” Coles asked in confusion.
“You know why,” William said.
He wore an exquisite mechanical ring on his left and right index fingers, but they were respectively red and blue. They were all shaped like ferocious wolves, and their open wolf mouths covered his entire finger.
After William finished speaking, sharp teeth protruded from the two rings and stabbed into his fingers. A piercing pain reached his mind. ƒ𝒓e𝐞we𝚋𝙣ｏ𝚟𝚎𝘭.co𝙢
The Ring of Red Wolf Words and the Ring of Blue Wolf Words devoured half of his current HP and mana, converting them into a huge physical and magical damage bonus.
Although there was no health bar display, William could clearly sense that he was below half health after taking Coles’s blow. He relied on the Blue Glory Ring’s effect to not enter a paralysis state.
Under the effect of the Rings of Wolf Words, his current HP had been reduced to less than a quarter. This triggered the passive effect of the Robe of Original Sin on him—when the wearer’s HP is less than a quarter, it will automatically ignite Sin Fire to curse the wearer. At the same time, all the damage he causes will be tripled.
The weaker one’s HP was, the stronger the curse.
The rusty chains wrapped around the tattered robe suddenly began to rustle on their own. They gradually tightened their grip on William’s body like pythons. Blood-red runes gradually lit up on the chains. Then, blood-red flames ignited from the chains and began to burn William’s body.
As the flames burned, the Progenitor Vampire Crown on William’s head was activated. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m
The bat reliefs on the helm suddenly came to life. The flames burning on the chains were attracted by its open mouth. A few spikes extended from the helm and stabbed into William’s neck, slowly absorbing William’s blood.
Progenitor Vampire Crown: When the wearer is in a cursed state, it will absorb the strength of the curse to strengthen the wearer’s spells, but during this process, the crown will also absorb a portion of the wearer’s HP as a price.
William felt his HP begin to drain from his body. These two pieces of equipment were like an engine that was constantly supercharging. With his HP as fuel, they drove curses and mana.
It was like an engine cylinder that was about to go out of control.
Back then, the first person that discovered that these two pieces of equipment could synergize with each other, the stacked damage figured from this mechanism exploitation resulted in the game pod suffering the BSOD. Later on, the manufacturer released an emergency patch overnight, capping this synergy to a limit of 20 times.
Just as William felt that his HP was about to be drained, a warm current flowed out of the armor on his hands.
The gauntlet—Life Oath: The user can normally store their HP inside. When the wearer suffers fatal damage, the gauntlet will slowly release the HP stored inside. As long as the enemy’s damage doesn’t exceed the speed of the gauntlet’s restoration, the wearer will always be perfectly protected.
This was because the speed at which it recovered HP was really not flattering. It could only deal some Damage over Time, so this was actually very useless equipment.
However, because of the synergy between the Robe of Original Sin and the Progenitor Vampire Crown, Life Oath became part of the set.
This was because the speed at which Life Oath restored life was slightly faster than the HP loss from the other two pieces of equipment. In other words, while Life Oath was in effect, the wearer could maintain their maximum damage output.
As for Life Oath, it could last for about five minutes when its stores were full. In other words, without considering the other party’s damage, the wearer could maintain this state for at most five minutes.
Bang! Crack, crack, crack…
Four huge forces constantly struck the surrounding Twilight Barrier, and dangerous cracks appeared amidst the twilight.
Coles looked at the constantly expanding cracks and said, “It’s meaningless, Presiding Judge. The defense of the Finality scene can’t even last three minutes, and three minutes…”
“Is enough to kill you.”
