Chapter 870: Drained
As Homer spoke, the ritual to corrupt everyone's minds should have taken effect, but even after a while, nothing happened!
He wasn't able to react immediately since a few of his corrupted Knights should've completed all the preparations they made and were protecting the key cores of the Formation. He had checked it himself and found the issues.
He couldn't immediately think of a reason why it suddenly failed!
Nonetheless, he wasn't too worried since he had a backup plan already. He could simply use his Demonic Domain to trap everyone here and begin his tedious process of corruption to control this empire.
'Right... This is all for the Demon Lord and to receive the promised Scepter!' The disguised Demon Saint said to himself. At this time, he could see the Knights and various Arcanists noticed a problem and had already formed a barrier to protect the Emperor... As for the Grand Knights, they were ready to fight!
'Foolish...' He thought...
However, as he was about to start with his Plan B, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, the air around Homer grew cold, and a shadowy figure appeared behind him.
Vale, the Avatar of the Shadow Immortal, wearing an unusual blindfold, had arrived. With swift movement, Vale grabbed Homer, the disguised Grand Knight, and in an instant, they were transported to a different location.
As soon as they vanished, everyone in the hall was confused...
"What's going on?!"
"A Demonic Creature... Then a blindfolded Arcanists appeared."
"Maybe it's the Emperor's hidden protector?"
"That's true... Everything happened so quickly."
As they were all unable to guess what had happened, Captain Ashley of the Arcane Bureau finally showed herself to explain the situation...
Vale and Lisa knew very well that this Demon Saint was still strong. Fighting him fairly could bring disaster to them. It was better to deal with this issue with such a sneaky method!
Entei's eyes widened in horror as he realized the full extent of his situation.
Formation Array was designed to drain his blood and demonic essence, rendering him powerless. He thrashed and struggled, but the more he fought, the tighter Vale's shadows constricted around him.
Even if he gathered his energy, it just hastens the Formation Array's draining power!
"You won't get away with this!" Entei spat, his voice filled with desperation. Vale's expression remained impassive. "You're already defeated, Entei. Accept your fate." As the array continued to drain Entei's blood and essence, Lisa's power grew.
She could feel the demonic energy coursing through her veins, enhancing her strength and abilities. The chamber resonated with the dark energy and the air crackled with power.
Thankfully, however, she was able to suppress the evil energy that had accompanied the essence of the Demon Saint.
Entei's struggles grew weaker, his strength fading with each passing moment. "No... this can't be..." he muttered, his voice becoming barely a whisper.
With a final surge of energy, the Formation Array completed its work. Entei's body went limp, and the shadows binding him dissipated.
Lisa sat down with a cross leg as she concentrated. Her power was now magnified by the Demon Saint's essence, and she had to control it.
'The essence was filled with Corrupted Divinity... I hope she can endure it.' Vale thought to
himself.
This situation lasted for several hours before Vale felt the change in the surroundings.
Vale approached her with a smile as he knew that Lisa was done.
"Congratulations, Lisa. You're now a True Vampire Immortal..."
