181: Horrible energy absorption

Boom!!!

The dazzling chain spear savagely pierced into the Golden Armor Corpse's chest.

A tremendous sound, Li Ke the striking of a brass bell, echoed through the dark Void Realm.

The spear, condensed from countless Chains of Holy Imprisonment, shattered inch by inch upon impact, transforming into a cluster of broken chains piled upon the Golden Armor Corpse's chest.

The Golden Armor Corpse's slightly lowered head slowly lifted.

A pair of ink-black pupils looked towards Makins on the opposite side.

“It's you!”

Makins' pupils suddenly constricted, and a premonition of misfortune rose in his heart.

He was not yet prepared to confront this strange Undead powerhouse again.

At the very least, he needed to reinforce his platinum iron maiden, or wait for the Holy See's Cultivator reinforcements to arrive, before he could be confident in taking down his opponent.

However, now, not only did he have no reinforcements, but he was also surrounded by Old God Remnants.

“How could coming to Graystone Village just happen to run into these Old God Remnants… Is it a trap? Is there a spy in the Oak Tree Cathedral…?”

A flurry of fragmented thoughts flashed through Makins' mind.

However, before he could think further, to his right, in the ethereal darkness, a narrow small door silently opened.

A condensed black light suddenly burst forth from within the door!

Hatties's figure appeared Li Ke a ghost beside Makins.

He still wore the blood-red spiral mask on his face, and his close-fitting black combat attire was stained with blood.

Despite missing his left arm and right leg, his body still exuded an extremely fierce and terrifying aura, Li Ke a Vicious Beast that had been suppressed for a long time.

Boom!!!

Hatties's figure flickered, transforming into a dark spinning top in the air.

Using his single leg as an axis, with visible spiral Qi currents Cohesion at his toes, he precisely kicked Makins' right cheek through layers of chain armor!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

On the enormous chain armor covering Makins' head, the intertwined Chains of Holy Imprisonment suddenly underwent a terrifying twisting, with platinum-colored chains breaking during the process.

The platinum armor continuously caved inward, forming a terrifying spiral deep pit that fiercely struck Makins' head!

Clatter…

The countless chains around Makins seemed to lose control, wildly writhing, and his majestic platinum armor momentarily disintegrated and fell into disarray.

He staggered several steps to the left, a trace of blood already overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

“You!”

Makins stabilized himself, slowly raising his head, his gaze burning with Holy Light, sweeping over the Golden Armor Corpse, Barton, and Hatties on his right, in turn.

“Are seeking death!!!”

Makins let out a roar.

The next instant, terrifying platinum-colored light erupted from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears.

It was as if a miniature sun had exploded within his body!

Terrifying Holy Light surged skyward, completely enveloping his body, forming a colossal pillar of light that reached from heaven to earth.

Clatter…

Innumerable platinum Chains of Holy Imprisonment wildly moved and entangled on the surface of the light pillar, forming incredibly intricate patterns.

The terrifying aura of Holy Light continuously expanded and ascended, as if to completely purify this darkness.

“La… la… ah… ah…”

In this dark Void Realm, a sudden, high-pitched, sacred female chant echoed, as if a choir in a holy temple was singing praises to the greatness of a deity.

In the center of the light pillar, an intricately designed platinum iron maiden slowly floated upwards.

The tightly closed seam once again slowly opened, its aperture far wider than before.

Through the gap, one could even vaguely see a small female corpse curled up inside the Iron Maiden.

Her body had long been completely pierced by the dense iron nails within, twisted into a despairing posture.

A thick, unresolvable dark red aura, mixed with endless resentment and madness, surged out from within the Iron Maiden.

Even within this supremely sacred and magnificent pillar of Holy Light, that terrifying and oppressive aura could not be concealed in the slightest.

Clatter…

As the platinum iron maiden opened, more and more Chains of Holy Imprisonment emerged in the Void Realm.

They were dense and layered, almost filling the space around the light pillar.

These Chains of Holy Imprisonment wildly intertwined and woven together, condensing into even thicker chains, Li Ke terrifying octopus tentacles, continuously probing outwards, coiling around floating oil paintings and dragging them into the ominous platinum iron maiden.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hatties's figure continuously flickered in the air, stepping on the wildly probing chains, constantly dodging amidst the dense attacks.

Bang! Bang!

The Golden Armor Corpse, however, stood its ground, its body wrapped in countless Chains of Holy Imprisonment, a dark golden, tyrannical aura surging from it as it directly wrestled with them.

Chains of Holy Imprisonment continuously broke during the struggle, yet they were unable to pull the Golden Armor Corpse away.

Barton, on the other hand, retreated behind the endless stream of oil paintings.

Oil paintings around him were constantly being coiled and torn by the Chains of Holy Imprisonment, but more oil paintings immediately emerged from the darkness.

Even occasionally, when some Chains of Holy Imprisonment broke through the oil painting's defense, dark golden vines would grow out from the darkness around Barton, entangling those Chains of Holy Imprisonment and quickly causing them to inexplicably break.

“Haven't you noticed yet?”

Barton silently raised his head, looking expressionlessly at the pillar of Holy Light that reached from heaven to earth.

Suddenly, the dazzling Holy Light on the light pillar abruptly dimmed.

The light pillar rapidly contracted inward, revealing Makins' figure.

At this moment, the Holy Light burning in his seven orifices had extinguished, and his face was somewhat pale.

His golden hair was disheveled, some strands even sticking to his face.

“Why? Why is the Holy Light being consumed so quickly?”

He suddenly looked up, staring at Barton in the darkness.

Barton met his gaze calmly, then lightly smiled.

“Guest, you seem to have forgotten.”

“This is Charles Manor, not your Holy Mountain.”

“Here, there isn't that much Holy Light for you to squander…”

Rustle rustle rustle…

In the dark Void Realm, countless tiny dark golden vines grew out.

The Nightmare Flower, this peculiar plant brought by Li Ke from the Garden of Sentient Beings, possessed an incredibly terrifying energy-absorbing power.

Aside from Li Ke's extremely rare Gengjin Killing Power, almost any energy could not harm it; instead, it would rapidly absorb the energy and strengthen itself.

And Barton, ever since he established the Nightmare Flower as his Dao Protector Demon, this terrifying energy-absorbing power became his innate Divine Ability.

In other words, Barton could bestow this terrifying energy-absorbing power upon all the demonic creatures that coexisted with him, and could even imbue this entire dark space with a certain energy-absorbing property.

This was also why Makins felt a subtle sensation of energy being absorbed after the Back-Sticking Spirit possessed him.

This sensation was extremely subtle, and he initially paid no attention to it.

But now, Makins had been in this space for so long, releasing countless Divine Abilities.

And the Back-Sticking Spirit, along with the surrounding dark space, had been subtly absorbing energy, exacerbating the consumption of his every action.

Originally, a casually cast Divine Ability would consume several times the Holy Light.

Therefore, at this moment, when Makins released his ultimate Divine Ability, he felt the Holy Light being consumed incredibly fast, unknowingly, he had already run out of resources…
