Chapter 409 409-The Rematch with Ethereal Seer
With Adam already under the influence of the profound power, and Blue Sea potentially losing control, John was left without any reliable allies.
Although John was accustomed to fighting alone, the situation he now faced was entirely different from anything he had encountered before.
The power displayed by Enigmatic Saint far exceeded that of any Devil he had previously faced.
"I fear neither your ordinary self nor your claim to be more powerful than the Dark Devil. Bring it on, I will annihilate you all!"
John was certainly not going to concede verbally, but he also wasn\'t so arrogant as to neglect preparation. While refusing Enigmatic Saint, he had already taken out the scrolls from his pocket.
Before setting off for Karen Port, John had gathered all his most powerful scrolls together, anticipating the need for them in challenging confrontations like this.
However, John did not intend to use all these scrolls at once. Utilizing all of them immediately would leave him without any margin for error in the subsequent battle.
John first threw out two scrolls of fire magic. As the scrolls were activated, towering flames erupted around Karen Port, momentarily obscuring even the immense projection of Enigmatic Saint.
Simultaneously with the activation of the fire magic scrolls, John summoned his unicorn pet at top speed.
Among his pets, the unicorn was not the most powerful, but it possessed a strong affinity for Holy Light.
Although John wasn\'t sure if the profound power could be restrained by Holy Light, he had no choice but to try everything at his disposal.
What John needed most now was time. He had already used the Abyssal Prison skill twice in succession. The cooldown for Abyssal Prison was about five minutes, so he had to use other means to buy this crucial time.
Regarding Blue Sea, who had been overtaken by the profound power, John could no longer afford to pay attention to him.
However, if John could successfully defeat Ethereal Seer and the projection of Enigmatic Saint, Blue Sea would not be in significant danger.
The fire magic scrolls and the unicorn pet indeed had some effect. The projection of Enigmatic Saint was temporarily obscured, and Ethereal Seer was trapped in the flames summoned by the fire magic scrolls.
But John was acutely aware that Ethereal Seer wouldn\'t be confined for long. He could only wield the skill [Divine Blade], conjuring a sharp Azure Edge in his hands.
The power of the Azure Edge John conjured was greatly linked to the Sea God.
Although the power within the Azure Edge did not directly originate from the Sea God, it was blessed by the Sea God.
John wanted to find out if there was any connection between the Sea God and Enigmatic Saint.
If the Sea God was indeed on Enigmatic Saint\'s side, then the blessing of the Power of Sea God would likely not inflict any damage on Ethereal Seer.
As John prepared himself, Ethereal Seer finally broke free from the flames, transforming into a dense black smoke. "Give up! None of your attacks will work against me! In the presence of the great saint, I am invincible!" Ethereal Seer charged towards John at breakneck speed.
John discerned additional implications in Ethereal Seer\'s words. It seemed Ethereal Seer was merely hoping that John would submit to Enigmatic Saint.
However, how could John possibly submit to this enigmatic deity? Even the gods of Order Fiction didn\'t possess the authority to demand John\'s submission. The only person John would ever bow to was himself.
As John prepared for a direct confrontation with Ethereal Seer, he retorted with a taunt, "Just because you are willing to be a servant to Enigmatic Saint doesn\'t mean others share your enthusiasm.
If Enigmatic Saint is so powerful, why is he still trapped? If the power of the profound is stronger than that of darkness, then why is the Dark Realm considered the greatest threat to Order Fiction?
You are nothing but entities disregarded by both Order Fiction and Dark Fiction. Even if Enigmatic Saint successfully resurrects from the mists of history, it would merely be a repeat of a previous failure."
John\'s words were a calculated attempt to provoke Ethereal Seer, questioning the very foundations of his beliefs and allegiance.
This psychological warfare was as crucial as the physical battle that was about to unfold.
John\'s words incensed Ethereal Seer even further. While Ethereal Seer might have tolerated mere mockery directed at himself, he could not stand the ridicule of Enigmatic Saint.
In Ethereal Seer\'s view, Enigmatic Saint was the greatest of all beings, to whom the gods of both Dark Fiction and Order Fiction should submit. Although Ethereal Seer acknowledged John\'s strength, he didn\'t believe John had any right to make such statements.
"Your arrogance will soon cost you dearly!" Ethereal Seer hissed menacingly.
The black fog that Ethereal Seer had transformed into became denser, almost appearing to have turned into a liquid.
John stood his ground, waiting for Ethereal Seer\'s approach. The power of the Sea God manifesting on his conjured Azure Edge underwent a noticeable transformation.
John could feel that the Sea God seemed to provide an extra blessing to the Azure Edge he had conjured. Realizing this, John\'s confidence surged even more.
The Sea God apparently had no connection with Enigmatic Saint, or at least was not aligned with him as John had previously speculated.
As Ethereal Seer hurtled directly towards him, John raised the Azure Edge he had conjured and simultaneously activated [Eye of Artemis].
He intended to record all information from this direct confrontation with Ethereal Seer. Only by doing so could he gain a deeper understanding of the profound power.
John was well aware that even if he managed to defeat Ethereal Seer this time, it would not be possible to eliminate Enigmatic Saint, as what appeared in Karen Port was only a projection of him.
Ethereal Seer could obviously see that the Azure Edge in John\'s hand possessed tremendous power, but he showed no fear.
In Ethereal Seer\'s view, with the projection of Enigmatic Saint behind him, even if he couldn\'t defeat John in battle, Enigmatic Saint could still provide him with a more powerful advantage.
In a clash where both parties sought a head-on confrontation, the black fog that Ethereal Seer had transformed into collided directly with the Azure Edge conjured by John.
The power of the profound and the power of the Sea God erupted simultaneously, affecting both Ethereal Seer and John.
The black fog constituting Ethereal Seer was dispersed in the fierce tempest triggered by the Power of the Sea God. The effect of John\'s [Abyssal Prison] skill was also nullified by the profound power.
The Sea God\'s tempest, besides scattering Ethereal Seer\'s black fog, also impacted the entire Karen Port harbor.
Numerous fishing boats moored in Karen Port were destroyed. The marine creatures around Karen Port all hid in dark places, indicating that, in their eyes, the power of the Sea God far surpassed that of Enigmatic Saint.
After all, when the projection of Enigmatic Saint had appeared earlier, these marine creatures around Karen Port had not chosen to hide; they were more curious and observed the projection.
John himself was also not unscathed. Although he withstood Ethereal Seer\'s full-force attack with the extra attributes provided by his high level, his health had now dropped to only about two-thirds of its original state.
Knowing that the most formidable enemy he faced was not Ethereal Seer but the projection of Enigmatic Saint, who had yet to directly intervene, John didn\'t waste time overthinking.
He chose to strike with full force, aiming to swiftly eliminate Ethereal Seer. Only by first vanquishing Ethereal Seer could he focus his strength on countering any potential attacks from Enigmatic Saint\'s projection.
John used [Eye of Artemis] again. Under its effect, he quickly located the actual position of Ethereal Seer\'s core.
Transforming into a bolt of black lightning, John instantly reached the location of Ethereal Seer\'s core and unleashed one of his most powerful skills, [Unrivaled Strike].
The additional critical hit effect of [Unrivaled Strike], combined with the blessing previously bestowed by the Sea God, turned into a dazzling flash of lightning. This lightning strike severely wounded Ethereal Seer.
