According to the original plan, as soon as the [Undying Trait] was in hand, Karl would immediately control the "Ghost Yacht" to run away!
The main point was to catch them off guard.
Staying here to continue fighting was meaningless except for courting death.
"Damn it, don't even think about snatching the [Darkhold Page] from my hands!"
Klee suddenly came back to her senses, a hint of ferocity flashing in her eyes.
Immediately, her fair hands danced in front of her, and a terrifying dark magic power swept out.
Like a large hand, it tightly grasped the chain in mid-air that was rapidly retracting with the ancient parchment scroll, and began to compete with Karl from a distance.
But who would have thought that Karl on the opposite side would not play by the rules at all.
He immediately shot two laser beams towards Klee's location.
Boom—
At the critical moment, Klee quickly cast a spell to create a black magic energy shield in front of her, which barely blocked the attack.
But it was this short delay of a few seconds that allowed the page of ancient parchment to be brought to Karl's presence by the chain.
Seeing this, Klee shouted anxiously at Lilith, who was not far away and was thinking about how to slowly torture Dracula to death next:
"Waste, stop bothering with Dracula and quickly help me snatch back that [Darkhold Page]!"
"Ah? Oh!"
Lilith reluctantly handed the head in her hand to a vampire follower for safekeeping, and then personally directed the demon army to surround Karl's location.
As a [Demon Lord], even if her strength was far from reaching the top level of [Beast], she still had considerable resistance to [Hellfire].
So compared to Klee, she was obviously more suitable for dealing with Karl who had transformed into [Ghost Form].
"Oh? Is this the true face of the [Undying Trait]?"
On the deck, Karl stared at the parchment that looked like it contained some kind of magic no matter how he looked at it, his eyes full of doubt.
Although he had been closely watching the movements at the altar.
But in order to prevent alarming the enemy in advance, he did not choose to invade the minds of the vampire guards, so naturally he could not hear the specific conversations of Lilith and others.
So Karl didn't know that this was a page from the [Darkhold Page] for the time being.
But it doesn't matter.
In order to completely understand the secret of the [Undying Trait], he had just deliberately plundered the soul of [Vampire Progenitor] Varna into the [Hyperspace].
He could slowly interrogate him later!
As for now, in order to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, he should first put the [Undying Trait] into the [Hyperspace].
Before that, facing the demon army swarming from the island, Karl had already used his mind to control the "Ghost Yacht" to turn on "automatic driving mode."
That's right, the Ghost Rider's mounts all have the ability to attack autonomously and help their masters escape.
That's how cool (advanced) it is!
Boom boom—
In a huge roar of the engine, the "Ghost Yacht" darted forward like an arrow from a bow.
Karl on the deck stretched out a finger and gently pressed it on the ancient parchment scroll that was wrapped in layers of chains in mid-air.
In an instant.
The system prompt appeared in front of his eyes.
[Detected a special energy substance at the level of the multiverse [Darkhold Page Fragment], which can be devoured. Does the host choose to devour it?!!]
Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
[Multiverse level]???
Damn, the [Undying Trait] is actually a page from the legendary [Darkhold Page]?
This...this wave is a big win!!
Even though Karl's temperament has always been calm, he couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised at this moment.
Because this was the first time he had touched the scope of the [Multiverse].
Although it was only a fragment of the [Darkhold Page].
But for Karl, this undoubtedly successfully broadened his horizons and allowed him to personally confirm the concept that "[Multiverse] is real!"
"Yes!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Karl directly gave the answer in his heart.
Boom...!!!
Seemingly sensing the dangerous aura.
The ancient parchment scroll suddenly erupted with extremely terrifying dark power, attempting to resist Karl's devouring.
The unparalleled energy torrent was like a surging wave, forming visible magic ripples in the air, sweeping in all directions.
At this moment, all areas within a radius of ten kilometers.
Whether it was land or sea, they were all violently shaking and undulating with this pulse-like energy torrent.
But in the next instant.
Everything came to an abrupt and bizarre end, and the world returned to calm.
The terrifying energy emitted by the ancient parchment scroll was all devoured by the [Hyperspace].
Then, like the [Mind Stone], it obediently floated in the dimensional space.
And the text on the light curtain in front of Karl also changed at this time.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully devouring the special energy substance at the level of the multiverse [Darkhold Page Fragment]!!!]
[Warm reminder 1: Since the host currently only has a small amount of authority to actively allocate energy, this energy substance will remain in its original state and be directly placed in the hyperspace dimension for storage.]
[Warm reminder 2: The current devoured energy is approaching the upper limit, please pay attention to timely increase the level of intensity, otherwise it will not be able to devour normally when the energy exceeds the upper limit.]
[Does the host immediately abandon the physical body, return to the exclusive dimension, and become the omniscient and omnipotent dimension master?!!]
"As expected of the multiverse-level [Darkhold Page]? The energy on just a single fragment is directly pushing me to the limit..."
"It seems that after this mission is over, it's time to increase the [Dimension Intensity] to Lv5, at which time the energy limit will automatically disappear."
"Oh? Wait a minute, the system's prompt seems to have changed a little?"
Karl keenly noticed the subtle changes in the text.
He was very familiar with this line of prompts, which had appeared as early as when he devoured the [Mind Stone].
But precisely because he was familiar with it, it was often easier to unconsciously ignore it!
If it wasn't for Karl's good habit of "reading carefully and carefully reading the text content" because he had been scammed several times when signing contracts in his "previous life", I'm afraid he would have really ignored it this time.
Looking at the line of text on the light curtain, Karl's brain began to operate rapidly.
The reason why he can successfully "restore" a small amount of [Dimension Lord]'s allocation authority without abandoning his physical body...is likely related to [Dimension Intensity]!!
Especially after the [Dimension Intensity] was increased to Lv4.
Even the dimensional barrier blocking between the real world and the [Hyperspace] was successfully torn open a gap.
In this way, the connection between Karl himself and the [Hyperspace] has become much closer invisibly.
If it is really as Karl is guessing now.
Wouldn't that mean that in the future, when the [Dimension Intensity] is raised to a high enough level, he can become a "sage in the flesh"?
(＾＾●)
Very nice!!!
Although this guess has not been confirmed yet.
But for Karl, it is a bigger surprise than harvesting a page of [Darkhold Page].
Because the [Hyperspace] is not only related to his life and death, but also closely related to his future growth limit.
And the appearance of this change undoubtedly once again proves how correct the choices he made before were.
Sure enough, a good start is half the battle!
But at this moment, a huge black magic energy shield suddenly fell from the sky, blocking Karl's escape route.
The "Ghost Yacht", which was in automatic driving mode, did not have time to dodge at all, and crashed heavily into it head-on.
Bang—
The fierce impact directly dented most of the bow, which shows how terrifying the strength of this black magic energy shield is.
It's almost comparable to the strongest defensive magic [Seraphim Shield] used by Doctor Strange on the abandoned [Titan] in [Avengers 3]!
However, the damaged part of the bow was instantly restored to its original shape under the repair of [Hellfire].
But in this way, Karl's escape route was completely blocked by the enemy.
In front of him was the black magic energy shield, and behind him was the [Demon Lord] Lilith leading the demon army, as well as the mysterious wizard hiding in the dark who had not shown his face!
It seemed that Karl had fallen into a desperate situation.
"Ghost Rider? So...you are Mephisto's man?"
Lilith grew two huge black bat wings on her back, constantly flapping them to come closer, condescendingly examining Karl on the deck who was covered in flames.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ says ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!
"If you hand over the [Darkness...that parchment scroll now, for the sake of belonging to the [Hell Camp], I can let you leave safely without blaming you."
Obviously, Lilith mistook Karl for another [Ghost Rider] under Mephisto.
After all, her people had personally seen Johnny Blaze's [Spirit of Vengeance] being taken away by [Beast], and then [Beast] was killed by Spider-Woman.
So it is normal to think so now.
However, although Lilith has Klee and that mysterious organization behind her.
But she still didn't want to provoke the [Hell Lord]-level great demon.
Especially Mephisto, who is known for his tricks and cunning.
Otherwise, one day, she might be tricked by that old yin bastard!
It's just that how can something that has been eaten into the stomach be spit out?
Seeing that he was surrounded, there was no trace of panic on Karl's face, but he said with great momentum:
"I must have the [Undying Trait] today!!"
After saying that, before Lilith in mid-air could explode, he had already taken out a rhombus pendant the size of a bell and held it in his hand, and shouted at the void in front of him:
"Gu Yi, hurry up and come out to pick up...cough cough, these demons from hell have crossed the line, quickly bring the mages out to clean up the mess!!"
Since this was a multi-line, cross-dimensional battle at the same time.
In order to ensure that Selena and others' actions were foolproof, Karl specially instructed the Four Small Vendors and the Emperor to focus on taking care of their respective chosen ones.
In order to prevent unexpected casualties!
But this also meant that Karl needed to face the powerful Lilith alone.
There is no doubt that without the blessing of the "Five Little Ones", Karl's current strength alone is not enough to defeat an enemy at the [Demon Lord] level.
Even with the simultaneous bonus of the [Symbiote Suit] and the [Spirit of Vengeance]!
The magic resistance of these two pieces of equipment is pitifully low...
But Karl didn't think there was anything embarrassing about this.
First of all, he never positioned himself as a "hero" who needed to charge into battle on the front line!
Compared to bloody battles, he actually prefers to sit behind the scenes, strategize, and break the enemy into nothingness with a smile, that sense of control and accomplishment!!
At least that's how it is at this stage...
Only in the case of extremely insufficient manpower like now will he choose to enter the game himself.
Secondly, there are many ways to solve the enemy, who stipulates that you can only do it yourself?
For people like Karl who "start with the end in mind", no matter what method is used, as long as the goal can be achieved in the end, that is victory!
So from the beginning, he had actually made two preparations.
One, run if you can!
Two, if you can't run...just shake people directly!
After all, if you don't use a tool person as good as Gu Yi at this time, are you going to keep it to lay eggs...ah no, keep it for the New Year?
Σ(°△°|||)︴
Hey hey hey, are you kidding me?
You even call Gu Yi...I think you look like Gu...
Wait a minute.
Did he just say Gu Yi?
Excuse me, is it the [Supreme Mage] Gu Yi from [Kamar-Taj] with a big bald head?
Lilith looked around nervously.
Fearing that a bald demon king would suddenly jump out of somewhere in the next second.
But fortunately, after scanning around, she didn't find anything unusual.
"Hehe, it turns out it's just a bluff..."
Lilith narrowed her eyes and laughed back in anger: "Thinking about it is really ridiculous, you are just a mere agent under Mephisto, why are you able to call the [Supreme Mage]?"
"Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to hand over the [Undying Trait], then don't blame me for not talking about...um???"
Before Lilith could finish her harsh words, she saw sparks suddenly flying on the deck of the yacht, and a golden portal appeared out of thin air.
Then a bald woman wearing a yellow mage robe with her hands behind her back walked out of it with elegant steps.
And behind her, several figures appeared one after another.
Without exception, they were all mystics from [Kamar-Taj].
However, what surprised Karl slightly was that he actually saw Wanda among the many mages?
Although the little girl's expression was solemn and vigilant at the moment, her big watery eyes were constantly aiming at Karl, who had transformed into a "skeleton man".
Confirmed the look in her eyes, it's my little Wanda!
Seeing this, Karl couldn't help but feel a little proud.
See, how fast my little Wanda has improved.
So quickly, she's already developed to the point where she can fight alongside Gu Yi!
This is definitely a magical genius.
"Ah, this..."
Lilith was truly dumbfounded this time.
Seriously, you're going all-out for fun?!
You actually summoned Gu Yi?
You can't be serious!
What Lilith couldn't understand was...
When did the high and mighty [Sorcerer Supreme] become a tool that even a demon agent could summon at will?
Could it be that Mephisto has some unknown secret deal with her?
This is just so unreasonable!
"Clea... uh?"
Lilith, whose aura was obviously weakening, originally wanted to ask whether to fight or flee next, but when she turned her head, she found that there was no one behind her.
Clea's figure had already disappeared without a trace the moment Gu Yi appeared.
What the hell?
What's going on?
Why is the development of the plot completely different from what was previously expected!
Lilith's face was as ugly as if she had eaten a fly.
Looking at Gu Yi, who was standing on the deck below with an ancient and unwavering expression, she knew that this operation was likely to end here.
However, for her personally, the goal has obviously been achieved this time.
It's better to give Gu Yi some face now, and then happily retreat back to Hell to slowly torture Dracula!
However.
Before she could speak, Clea's voice already rang in her mind.
