Chapter 835 The Crystal Of Barnes the Holy

“It's him!"

the golden monkey roared, sending shockwaves across the seafloor.

A rod laden with golden runes was on the black mountain behind him. It shone momentarily but after a few seconds, it dimmed gradually.

"No! He has regained his strength!"

The golden monkey was aghast.

The Order Inscription in the black iron chain that bound him shone, suppressing his fierce aura. "Argh!"

The golden monkey struggled and struggled. He tried his hardest to get free but he could not.

A black wheel suddenly appeared on the mountain and streaks of Order Inscription glowed on its surface. A force passed through the long chain and hit on the golden monkey.

"Hiss!"

The golden monkey bared his fangs in anguish.

He rolled on the ground, groaning in pain.

His pain continued until he was stripped of all his fiendish aura.

He knelt on the ground, succumbing to the energy around him.

At the north of the Raksa Sea, huge, rolling waves and scarlet magma toppled over each other ferociously. Smoke billowed into the sky, signaling destruction and devastation.

Underground, the dodecahedral crystal outshone the shadow of the gray pyramid with its power. Far away in the forbidden area, blood gushed out like a river and the first fiend ancestor's roar awoke all the witchers.

"His strength has weakened a little!"

They unleashed Witcher Power to suppress the fiend and they were astonished at their discovery. "I thought I was dreaming when I felt that his power had weakened. It seems that someone was indeed able to suppress his strength!"

"Who is this warrior, and how has he gained such magnificent power?"

one witcher asked excitedly.

Back underground, Barnes the Holy stood in stunned silence.

He stared at the dodecahedral crystal and tears filled his eyes.

It was as if he was seeing the light of hope itself, and his heart swelled with emotion.

The crystal spun around, faster and faster. With a gentle hiss, it implanted itself into Barnes the Holy's mind. He felt enlightened.

"Yes, I understand. I finally understand," Barnes the Holy murmured. "As long as I find him, I may be able to eliminate the power has been suppressing me..."

Back in the sea of magma

Darren fled from the figure chasing him.

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful fiendish aura blasted throughout the area.

Darren scrambled to assimilate the fiendish aura. The demonic internal force in his body rose again and as a result, the dragon blood aura was formed naturally to even the imbalance.

But under such circumstances, Darren could no longer evolve the dragon blood aura quickly by simply absorbing spiritual energies from heaven and earth. Therefore, he used his spiritual sense to enter the space of the ancient spiritual crystals. He assimilated the spiritual energy from the ancient crystals.

In seconds, Darren's wounds healed.

Whoosh!

A majestic dark gold internal force bubbled from beneath the magma and jumped out, deflecting the emissary’s attacks.

"Roar!"

The emissary grew weary after having pursued Darren for so long and let out a growl of annoyance. 'I didn't expect him to be so helpful, ' Darren thought to himself. Darren did not rush. On the contrary, he was grateful to his doppelganger.

He soon felt fully healed and so he paused for a moment.

Seeing Darren stop, the emissary immediately rushed towards him with an intent to attack. "Humph!"

Darren gave a snort of contempt, feigning an attack with his blade and sword intents. The dark gold internal force had already given a warning strike.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The force was earth-shattering. In this head-on collision, Darren only retreated several feet. Although he was at a disadvantage, his enemy could not fully suppress him.

"Roar!"

The enemy raged. Sharp horns grew on his head and black scales sprouted all over his body.

He looked just like Darren when Darren had transformed into a fiend.

"Alright, then. Time for me to transform into a dragon!"

Darren let out a roar, his body morphing in the magma.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The magma rolled off, vaporizing the surfaces it touched. Darren flew up into the sky. His dragon tail pulsated with olive-black force and swept back and forth rapidly.

The fiend emissary frantically tried to attack Darren's dragon tail.

The enemy was surprised to find that the olive-black force attached to Darren's dragon tail was very strange. One of the forces seemed to be his natural enemy, yet the other force seemed to originate from the same source as his.

He was surprised to see how well they worked together.

When Darren was still a grand warrior, he could suppress monsters who were much more stronger than he was when he used the olive-black force.

Now, Darren's olive-black force had been perfected. It was able to suppress the emissary's power even though his power was great.

Normally, the fiend emissary could easily battle with a master who had just become a senior holy warrior. However, Darren was overpowering him.

"Roar!"

After transforming into his dragon form, Darren attacked his enemy relentlessly. The fiend emissary could not do much except defend himself, unable to strike back at Darren.

Darren just kept assimilating his enemy's fiendish aura, rendering him powerless.

The fight became more and more intense as the hours passed by. The enemy was on the brink of defeat, having been weakened by Darren's constant attacks.

He was shocked, unwilling to accept that he could not defeat a mere human.

In those moments, a tetrahedral crystal shot out from the emissary's head. His aura flared up and Darren's suppression was weakened slightly.

Buzz.

To Darren's surprise, the tetrahedral crystal began to tremble. Tiny cracks appeared on its surface as it shook.

"What?" Darren's senses tingled. This guy was going to destroy his own crystal!

While the tetrahedral crystal was not as powerful as the hexahedral crystal, it could still pack quite a punch. If it exploded, it would level an entire city.

Whoosh!

Darren's dragon body surged forward and he aimed his tail at the head of the fiend emissary. Bang!

Darren's enemy was sent flying. His head cracked in half as he landed.

"Something is not right!"

Darren stared at the crystal. Light spilled out of its cracks. It was about to burst!

Darren ran as fast as he could.

However, no matter how far he went, the crystal followed Darren.

Boom!

The crystal shattered. Darren was blinded by the blast.

Darren felt an excruciating pain crawling throughout his body.

Darren immediately sensed that the light was full of fiendish aura!

"Assimilate! Assimilate! Assimilate!"

Darren frantically called upon his Assimilation Skill, trying his best to assimilate the aura.

However, the aura had already begun to attack Darren. It gnawed at his body, threatening to tear it into pieces.

"Argh!"

Darren roared in pain as his skin ripped apart. He felt himself blacking out.

Buzz.

Before succumbing to the darkness, Darren took a last glance up. When he did, he saw a dodecahedral crystal humming and pulsating in the air.
