Chapter 1228 The Secret Lake III

"Kanlaon, use Light Rays multiple times!" Adrian commanded as he summoned Kanlaon.

Kanlaon then used his light dragon ball to create light rays that all converged towards Nychta. She was not able to easily dodge the light rays due to her body being weakened by Saena. Nychta felt the sting of the light rays in her body as it once again retreated back to the mask.

Adrian tried to break the mask once more using his spear, but it only cracked a small part of it once more. He could more or less feel that the mask is a powerful artifact that can hold her body. It is very difficult to damage as he can feel the resistance to his very soul as if his primordial armament is also taking damage.

"Only a powerful artifact can make my soul numb like that, but I will not back down. If I cannot do it by myself then I should fuse with someone who has the possibility. Perfect Assimilation: Saena!" Adrian stated as he and Saena suddenly fused together.

Adrian's body changed to that of a being that has powerful white and bronze wings. He even has multiple rings behind his back that is made of Sunlight. He radiated the energy of the sun that he wanted to copy from Saena.

[You have gotten the skill Sun Flare from your fusion with Saena.]

[You have gotten the skill Solar Synthesis from your fusion with Saena.]

Adrian could feel the surge of power in his body as fusing with a divine beast is definitely different. He could feel his divinity increasing to a great degree which means his interference in the world would be greater. Adrian swapped out his spear with his Primordial Armament: Mirror.

Adrian's body changed to that of a blind demon that has four floating arms and six floating mirrors. He still has halos on his back, but the mirrors sported a different look. The design of the mirrors reflected that of a Simurgh instead of the demon eye theme that is encrusted in purple and gold.

Adrian then created numerous mirrors that surrounded the porcelain mask. He made sure that Kanlaon will continue firing Light Rays until his spell will be completed. Adrian even started absorbing the light rays that passed through the porcelain mask.

Nychta felt that she is being cornered and that a dark heavy feeling washed up on her. She feels as if she is deliberately being kept inside the mask and her enemies are not relenting. Despite that feeling of heaviness, she is confident of the power of the mask as only a lesser rank god will be able to destroy it.

Even a demigod will have trouble trying to destroy it because she has taken so much divine energy from others. She sensed the divine energy in the Secret Lake, but she did not expect that a peak demigod being is the one residing on it. She would have gotten the upper hand if the fight was not meddled by the demon.

"Once I have escaped from here, I will be sure to hunt that demon down once my former strength has been returned. I just need to bide my time and wait for the moment that all of them are tired. The cracks in the mask might be troublesome but I can repair it by consuming other artifacts." Nychta stated but he suddenly heard Adrian's voice.

"It seems that you are not even peaking out of the artifact. Let us see what it can do when I blast it will full power." Adrian stated to which Nychta heard.

When Nychta heard Adrian's statement, it made her curious as to what the demon is speaking about. She peaked a bit and saw that her mask is actually surrounded by mirrors with the demon inside with it. The light rays hitting her is coming from the mirrors that channels Kanlaon's magic spells.

"I already absorbed enough sunlight earlier. It is a good thing that you attacked this area in the morning. The Vestige of the Sun God is a very good shortcut in getting energy from the sun. When I kill you, I will make sure to retrieve the Vestige of the Sun from your corpse." Adrian stated as his body started to glow with the power of the sun.

"Sun Flare!" Adrian shouted as he exploded with sunlight.

When Adrian used Sun Flare, he made sure that the mask will be directly hit. The porcelain mask is directly hit but it did not thoroughly crack but small cracks are starting to be seen all over. A wild laugh could be heard from inside the mask as Nychta laughed at Adrian's claims.

"You think that you have the power of a lesser god?! Do not be arrogant Arch Demon! You will never be able to destroy my mask as it is also fused with the Vestige of the Sun God! I might be weakened by light, but I will never be killed by them." Nychta stated in a haughty tone as she will never be killed by sunlight or at least sunlight that did not come from a god.

When Nychta help kill the Sun God Ra, she made sure to get the part of him that controlled the evening sun. It is a part of him that somewhat controlled darkness and gave her the ability to ward off light. She fused it with the Stoic Porcelain Mask since the vestige of the sun god was one of the items that helped her retain her sanity.

She did not expect that the Vestige of the Sun God will actually help her slow down the effects of the curse that is placed on her by the Goddess of Night. She actually rejoiced when she found that out, but it also made sense to her. The Sun God Ra is on par with the Chthonic Gods as he was as powerful as them.

If she actually had the other parts of the Sun God Ra, then she would have nullified her curse altogether. She wanted to attempt to collect them, but one is already sealed in the Silver City back then. She also cannot fight against Mikhail as she will definite die even before she attempts to steal the other vestige.

Her best bet was to fuse two artifacts together in hopes of amplifying their abilities and it worked. The Stoic Porcelain Mask with the Vestige of the Sun God strengthened the effects of nullifying the curse. It was not enough though which made her look for other artifacts that can strengthen the power of the mask.

"It is not that I have the power of a lesser god, but my divinity right now rivals that of a demigod. Let me see if you do not die with an attack with everything that I poured into. Sunlight that is amplified to the highest degree while carrying the volatile nether energy. Let me see if a divine artifact can handle that stress and not eject the body of the one possessing it like a parasite." Adrian stated.

Adrian then entered the mirror as he does not want to be in the area where all the explosions of light will go off. He does not want to become blinded or feel the power of sunlight on his skin. He is already a bit sick of getting hit with the energy of the sun from battling Saena.

"Diffraction!" Adrian stated as all of the mirrors that surrounded the porcelain mask started to charge with sunlight.

Adrian made sure that his mirrors absorb the light rays and the Sun Flare that he used. He intends to destroy Nychta from within the mask since she is not coming out herself. He just does not know if his plan will succeed as she said that only a lesser god could destroy the mask, but a notification came to Adrian when he fused with Saena.

[You now have equal divinity to a Demigod.]

"I might not have the power of a lesser god, but I do have the divinity equal to a demigod. I just pray that bombarding you with nether energy and primordial energy attacks will be enough to kill you." Adrian stated.

Numerous lights dispersed onto the porcelain mask as it is bombarded with all the light attacks that it has absorbed. The mirrors even reflected the initial released beams which made the whole encirclement explode with light. The screams of fear could be heard from the porcelain mask as Nychta is being punished by her own arrogant behavior.

She thought that the mask will be able to hold out from the attacks of the ones outside. She thought that she could just escape when her enemies are tired but that is all wrong. The cracks on the mask started to spread all over and her sanctuary inside the mask has been breached. Beams of light started to enter her sanctuary and it greatly burned her shadow body.
